Harem Empress

Chapter 19 Canonization
The scene in the hall just now is still fresh in my memory. If it wasn't for my superior skills, I'm afraid I would have been thrown into the cold palace by now. A "family portrait" left a deep impression on Emperor Jingyang's heart. Branding, "Sister, please stay." At this time, the voice of Concubine De came from behind, and she turned her head to look at Concubine De, who was beaming with joy, and said, "My concubine pays her respects to Concubine De, the concubine is auspicious, and congratulations to Concubine here Sister Defei."

Concubine De covered her mouth with the silk handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "You are not the same, now you are no longer that little nobleman, but a long-lived Danpin, a painting makes you I earned a lot of face at the banquet." Concubine Yuan looked at me up and down with contempt in her eyes, she underestimated me too much, she thought she was the winner at the banquet, but she didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow: " Concubine Yuan is joking, how can these little tricks of concubines be compared with that of Concubine De, who is actually the biggest winner in this banquet!" Looking at Concubine De with sharp eyes, she said with a smile.

"Sister Danpin is a smart person. I won't beat around the bush with you. You must have noticed that Concubine Jin has fallen out of favor. Why don't you and I work together to overthrow everyone? My sister thinks it's good?" The concubine said through gritted teeth.Pretending to be puzzled, she looked at the hazy and proud Concubine De in the night and said with a smile: "How can you expect that Concubine Jin has fallen out of favor? Although Concubine Jin did not occupy the limelight at the banquet, this does not mean that Concubine Jin has fallen out of favor? Dongyue It's not a good thing to betray one's master, but in my concubine's humble opinion, this will not affect Concubine Jin's position in Wansui's heart at all, I'm just a small concubine, I'm afraid I can't help you, your concubine, to solve your problems!"

After finishing speaking, Fu bowed down and was about to leave, but was stopped by the concubine De at the side: "Wait, don't you want to avenge the Royal Garden that day?"

Still maintaining a proper smile, he said slowly: "The concubine just took the blame for her in the matter of the imperial garden that day, how could the concubine Yide's discerning eyes not see it?"

Concubine De heard the meaning of my words, laughed out loud and proudly held her head up and said, "I know that Concubine Jin has withdrawn my sister's green-headed card. Now that Concubine Jin has lost power, all I need is a word from my palace, and my sister's green-headed card will be taken tomorrow." It will appear in the respect room." Yes!Now that she has been conferred the title of Concubine Virtue, there are countless people in the harem who have been fawning on her one after another, so how can a small respect room be ignored.

I won't join hands with her. In the palace, we will always use each other without any affection.Although Concubine Jin is a bit out of power today, it doesn't mean that she won't be favored again. After all, there is the queen mother backing her, so it would be a bit unpopular to want to bring her down now.

She evaded with a smile, "My younger sister is stupid by nature and usually only studies some calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid she will go against my mother's kindness."

Concubine De didn't say anything but walked straight onto the chariot waiting at the side. When the chariot came to her side, she stopped. Concubine De from above leaned over and whispered: "You'd better give this palace a thought. Clearly, there are so many people who want to curry favor with me! Go back to the palace!" Looking at the walking chariot standing there for a long time, Taxue gently pushed me from behind, and then I came back to my senses with a blank expression on my face Said: "It's late at night, let's go back!"

At this moment, the Xiangyuan Pavilion was full of joy and laughter. Seeing the happy smiles on everyone’s faces, I realized that they also wanted me to be favored from the bottom of their hearts. Leaving me, now seeing everyone's long-lost smiles, I realize that they not only regard me as their master but also their family. In this cold palace, Emperor Jingyang is my good friend. people, and they are my family.

After going back, I still didn’t feel sleepy at all, and today was August [-]th, so I gave them a holiday, let them go back to the house to rest, and sat on the bench in the yard by myself, looking at the distant starry sky, thinking The family members who are far away from the palace, father and mother must be watching the moon with the third brother's family in the yard now, eating moon cakes made by the mother herself, and Qin Qing doesn't know what kind of family the mother will find for her. The second brother at the border is doing well now. Since the eldest brother left, the second brother has taken the position of the eldest brother, guarding the border to protect the family and the country.At this moment, a tear rolled down the corner of my eye. I don’t know what kind of mood my parents will feel when they know that I have been made a Dan concubine. They should be happy for me!Every step in the palace is like walking on thin ice, so tiring!

I lowered my head and looked at the Hetian jade flute in my hand. There used to be two of them, the Lantian jade flute, but I lost one at some point, so I only have this one in my hand, with my name engraved on it, Hetian The one on the jade is "Qin" and the one on the Lantian jade is "Shuang". These two flutes were given to me by my elder brother on my birthday. Every time I see the flute, I will think of my elder brother.I played the song "Homesickness" slowly. Although I haven't played it for a long time, the feeling has not changed at all. This song was given to me by my elder brother before his death. Whenever I blow it to the depth of love, Tears will not stop streaming down.

I don't know how long it took to play, but after the end of the song, my face was covered with tears. I gently wiped the tears on my face with a silk handkerchief in my hand. When I was about to go back to the house to rest, I heard something strange outside. The voice, but it was not very real, he shook his head in self-deprecating, maybe he was tired.

The next morning, Shang Guangyong from the Queen's Palace came to report that the canonization ceremony was scheduled to be held at the Ningfeng Palace of the Imperial Palace on August [-]th, and the auspicious clothes for the canonization would be delivered by the Shang Palace Bureau in three days.In the past two days, I have been a little lazy, and I always like to lean on the window couch and read a book in a daze. Taxue came in from outside with tea and said lightly: "My lord, Dongyue has been sealed as a promise!" Tasting the newly brewed tea from Taxue, she said lightly, "It's expected!" Dongyue must have been lured by Concubine De.

"Is Dongyue staying in Ningchun Palace now?"

"No, the emperor has approved Dongyue to move into Concubine Fang's Furong Hall." Concubine Fang has always been Concubine De's minion, and now that Dongyue has moved out of Changxin Palace and into Furong Hall, it seems that Dongyue is going to confront Concubine Jin. , That's right, since Dongyue received the favor, Concubine Jin must have given her a lot of guilt secretly, after all, people are still afraid of death.

In the early morning of August [-]th, put on the fragrant satin embroidered multicolored golden dragon auspicious clothes made overnight by the Shang Palace Bureau, wear a court crown on the top of the head with two layers, with one Dongzhu each, all inherited from Jinzhai, decorated with nine Dongzhu, Seventeen pearls, with a scorpion on the top.Taxue carefully painted a peach blossom makeup for me, which made me look even more glamorous.Walking out of Xiangyuan Pavilion with the hand holding the snow, because the Queen's Ningfeng Palace is a long distance from Xiangyuan Pavilion, we can only go out early and walk on the long street with people coming and going. The look in his eyes is no longer the contempt it used to be, but instead it is surprised and respectful.

When approaching Ningfeng Palace, Concubine Jin's soft voice came from behind her: "Sister Dan, please stay!" Following the voice and looking behind her, it turned out to be Concubine Jin's chariot. The gauze skirt is embroidered with a hundred butterflies with silver patterns, like the rich and noble Double Happiness silver steps on the cloud topknot swaying gently there. Although it looks heavy makeup, it is not coquettish. I have to admire that Concubine Jin is indeed a beauty embryo, as beautiful as different.
