First Class Concubine

Chapter 76

Entering the palace again, Qijing felt a little more admiring the scenery.

There are ice sculptures in many places in the palace, which are crystal clear and lifelike.Add some liveliness and liveliness to the winter that has lost its vitality.

"At this time, the flowers in the imperial garden are just in bloom. Miss, you can invite the emperor's imperial concubine to go and see them later."

"Flowers?" Qijing looked at the roadside, the snow on the pine trees, "Flowers?"

"Miss Hui, yes. However, apart from some seasonal flowers, there are more silk flowers, silk flowers..." Mama Mama immediately explained to her: "I heard that it was Lanmei's idea, that is, this year Only then."

"Silk flowers, silk flowers?" The seven sceneries are clear, are they artificial flowers? "Lanmei people are really smart."

"That's not true. I've never seen such an ingenious person! I heard that she lived in Xixiu Palace back then, where there were all dead branches and dry leaves, without any color at all. As a result, one night, after a violent storm, she was full. The flowers in the palace are all ruined, but the Xixiu Palace is full of purples and reds, and a hundred flowers are in full bloom... The emperor was surprised when he saw it, and thought it was the blessing of gods and Buddhas... It was only later that he found out that those flowers were all a beautiful pair of Lanmei. Made by hand."

Mother Ma lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "It was also from then on that Lanmei was named Lanmei. She also got the title of the Crow God of Flowers. Since then, she has been in the eyes of the Holy Majesty...now she is the favorite of the Sixth Palace." , can be called Harem No.1."

"This palace, that's it. No one knows what will happen tomorrow!"

"Thank you for the reminder." Qi Jing accepted her affection.She really doesn't understand these things.Not only in the palace, but also outside the palace.Destiny is too unpredictable, and no one knows whether what is waiting ahead is a great fortune or an abyss.

Therefore, when you can't offend, you must leave yourself a way out.Once offended, don't be soft-handed, kill with one blow, and wipe out the roots.Before, she was soft on Su Wanwan and Xu Wenfeng.

Soon, a group of people came to the queen mother's palace.

When she came, it was the time when all the concubines paid their respects.

From the gate of the palace, all the way in, there were dozens of palace ladies and eunuchs.These are palace people who wait for the nobles, and they are not qualified to enter the Queen Mother's Palace.Can only keep outside.

Once inside, there were two more rows of nobles kneeling in front of the hall.These are people whose rank is not enough, but who must come to pay their respects.

When Qijing was in front of the Empress Dowager's Palace, she met an eunuch holding a dust whisk. When she saw her, Mama Ma and the others, she immediately sent the little eunuch in to report.He came up to greet him: "The old servant sees the county master, the county master Da'an."

"Boss, please get up quickly." Qi Jing hurriedly asked Mama Ma to come forward to help him up, and then stuffed a big purse over there.

The steward smiled even better: "Master, the Empress Dowager has been thinking about you for a long time. No, she is in better health, so I invite the master to come to the palace to play... The county master will be free in the future, so you can come a few more times. Times. The queen mother will be happy."

"It's Shou'an's fault, and I will pay more visits to the Empress Dowager in the future."

While talking, go inside.When we got to the front of the hall, the little eunuch from before came out, "The Empress Dowager, Princess Xuanshouan, has entered."

Mama Ma stuffed another purse.

Qijing did the calculations out of time, the amount of money she would need to spend on this trip.A rough calculation shows that there are only 50 taels of this stuffed out.

Sadly, the Su family gave their daughter only ten taels a month.

There are many beauties in the temple.Once again, Qijing saw the queen mother, the noble concubine...the queen empress disappeared, and Qijing heaved a sigh of relief.She always had conflicts with that one.

"Shouan pays respects to the empress dowager, the empress is a thousand years old. Greetings to the noble concubines, ladies and gentlemen, Da'an."

"Get up, get up." The queen mother repeatedly said, Qi Jing stood up, and was gently pulled to her side by the queen mother: "How did the Ai family hear that after the emperor's birthday, you went back sick? Are you better?"

"Back to the queen mother, it is almost better."

"That's good, that's good. Girls, you must take good care of your body when you are young. When you get married in the future, you will be able to spread the branches and leaves for your husband's family early..."

Qijing smiled, "Thank you for your teaching. Speaking of which, I have to thank you too. The two nuns you gave me helped me recuperate my body before. So this time I was ill, and it only took a few days to recover. If it weren't for them , I don’t know how much trouble this disease will take!”

"The two of them do have some experience in recuperating the body. With them serving you, the Ai family will feel relieved."

"Queen Mother, you are really eccentric. Which family's noble daughter is this? You have been here for so long, and you didn't let us know. You only see you happy, but you don't want us to be happy too."

Qijing looked at the speaker, but he had never seen it before.Half-year-old mistress, the charm still exists.These people can't tell their age only from their appearance.But it is certain that she is definitely not the emperor's woman.

The queen mother smiled and scolded: "You have a broken temper, you are really everywhere." Then she said to Qijing: "Shou'an don't pay attention to her, this is Concubine Xu, the most unforgiving mouth. There are some good things. You go and meet her and let her pay for it."

Concubine Xu, Lechen also mentioned it to her at this time.

The former emperor's concubine, to be precise, is the concubine conferred by the emperor after his death.Very close to the Queen Mother.No son, only one daughter, who was married to Xiyi.

She has a lively temperament and seems careless, but she can live in the harem until now, and she can live like a fish in water, so she can't be underestimated.

Qijing hurriedly stood up and greeted Concubine Xu.

"Oh, what a lovely girl." Concubine Xu wiped a bracelet from her wrist: "You are so good-looking and have a good temper. I like this girl..." She put the bracelet on her hand: " This one was rewarded by the former emperor, but it is rare. In this palace, only the queen mother and elder sister look down on it, and no one else can compare to it."

"It's too expensive." Qi Jing refused on the face.

"It just needs to be expensive, not expensive, so how can I ask her to spend money." The Queen Mother continued: "She has a lot of good things in her hands. In the future, I will enter the palace more often. My wife and I will find a way to move all the things in her palace. It's better to be empty."

"Success, Shou'an enters the palace in the future, just come. Let's get close, my wife."

Qi Jing was a little confused, which song did these two sing!

Don't look at them one by one, they speak enthusiastically and behave even more intimately.However, she didn't feel any real affection from them.

What's more, the cold air on this concubine's body, the killing intent flickered, and this killing intent was coming towards her.

For such people, Qijing is not polite at all.Even if the other party hasn't made a move yet, she still firmly believes that the first attack is the strongest.

While the other party was holding onto her hand, he gently mobilized his spiritual power to condense a very small scab of blood, which flowed slowly along the blood vessel.

Where it will flow, where it will stop, where it will be blocked... then it depends on fate.A person who wants to harm her really has no such thing as kindness.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Qi Jing took the bracelet.But didn't wear it, it was too big.She turned around and handed it to Mama Mama, who immediately packed it with a pouch and hung it around her waist.

This action of hers made Concubine Xu very satisfied.But looking at her wrist, she was a little unhappy.So, he pulled out another hairpin from his head, and gently tied it into Qijing's hair.

Qijing is only a 13-year-old girl, she is not yet hairpin, and usually does not wear hairpins.There are only some pearl flowers and ribbons on the head... such a hairpin inserted in the hair looks a little weird.

"Look, it should be the master of wealth and honor. This hairpin can't be suppressed by ordinary people. But when our county master wears it, no matter how you look at it, it complements each other."

Concubine Xu was finally completely satisfied now.But Qijing tensed up, and the atmosphere in the hall began to tense from the day Concubine Xu took down the hairpin.

Whether it was the emperor, the imperial concubine, or the other soy sauce party members, their breathing became chaotic for a moment.

Qijing boldly guessed that this hairpin should have some special origin.Just like the phoenix hairpin given to the second prince and concubine by the Empress Dowager back then.

"Okay, Ai's family is tired too. The emperor is busy sealing pens these days, so he probably won't be here today. You all should leave!" The queen mother rubbed her temples and looked at the noble concubine with a somewhat unsightly expression.

The imperial concubine also gave an unnatural smile, "The empress must take care of her body."

"You are determined, go." The queen mother waved her hand.

Qijing stood aside, watching the noble concubine leave with all the beauties.Concubine Xu also followed, and when she left, there was a sense of complacency.

The people in this palace are too complicated, and they are not insiders, so they can't understand them at all.

Qijing didn't understand, but she could feel everyone's emotions.

Therefore, everyone else left, and she was the only one facing the unhappy queen mother, so she also thought of leaving.

However, before she could speak, the Empress Dowager said again: "The Royal Garden has Lanmei's ingenious method this year, which makes it very beautiful. It's rare to come here once. Go and have a look, and you won't go to the palace once in vain."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. It's just that I'm going to the Imperial Garden, isn't it good!?" That place, to put it bluntly, was the place where the emperor had fun with his concubines.It is also a place for those women trapped in the palace to let off steam.

It was a bit ostentatious and inappropriate for her to break in for no reason as an outsider.

"It's fine if the Ai family agrees." However, she still called the former chief eunuch, Eunuch Lu, over: "You lead Shou'an, take her to play in the imperial garden, and when you come back, cut the hair for me." Some plum branches for vases."

Can't shirk, Qijing can only agree.

Take people and go to the Imperial Garden with Eunuch Lu.

The Royal Garden is not far from the Empress Dowager's Palace. After leaving the palace gate, you can walk only a hundred or so meters, and then turn around a circular arch, and you will arrive.

"My servant has seen the Lan beauty." At the entrance of the imperial garden, I met the beauty who had just come out.

Lanmei holds two silk flowers in her hand, one is a peony and the other is a winter jasmine.She doesn't seem to know how to smile, at least the two times Qijing saw her, she never smiled.

She didn't seem to hear Eunuch Lu's voice, and looked directly at Qijing.

Qijing had no choice but to stop and salute her.

Lan Meiren walked up to her, raised her hand, and took off the hairpin and all kinds of pearl flowers from her head.Insert the winter jasmine into it.

The other things were passed on to Mama Mama, and then...the people with her walked away.

Qi Jing clenched her hands, and looked at Eunuch Lu with a look of bewilderment: "But what did I do wrong?"

"You don't have to worry about the county lord. The Lanmei people have never smiled at anyone since they entered the palace. It's not aimed at you, the county lord! Speaking of which, the Lanmei people must like the county lord very much. But I have never heard that the Lanmei people sent Who are the flowers for..."

Qi Jing had two things in one mind, listening to Eunuch Lu's comfort, while thinking about what that Lan beauty stuffed into her hands.
