Harem Empress

Chapter 20 Deja vu Yan returns ([-])

She bowed her head and lowered her body to salute: "My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Jin, she is auspicious!" Concubine Jin stepped down from the chariot, stretched out her hand to help me up and said with a smile, "Sister Dan concubine is really unfathomable! I really underestimated you, but a 'family portrait' saved your life!" Looking at Concubine Jin's provocative eyes, it seems that she knows that Concubine De has looked for me, and now she must think that Concubine De and I are the same Together.

Smiling and taking the initiative to meet her arrogant eyes, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, and what I want to tell you is that the painting in the palace of the noble concubine is indeed from the concubine." Concubine's hand, Madam, don't trust others' slander and offend the emperor for no reason! Concubine is afraid of missing the auspicious time for canonization, and she will take a step ahead." After saying Fu, she bowed and walked into the gate of Ningfeng Palace , a burst of rich peony fragrance rushes towards the face, the king of peony flowers is also the symbol of the queen and the master of the harem.

Concubine Jin is not stupid, it is impossible for her not to understand the meaning of my words. At this time, all the concubines and concubines have already gathered in the main hall of Ningfeng Palace. Sitting gracefully in the hall, the queen is sitting on the phoenix seat gracefully and luxuriously, wearing a court dress with gold and silver silk phoenix embroidered pattern and a phoenix crown.

Hastily walked up to Qianfu and lowered his body to salute: "My concubine greets the empress, the empress is auspicious, my concubine is late, I hope the empress will forgive me!"

The concubine De concubine beside me swept her phoenix eyes on the ground, and I laughed lightly and said, "Your noble sister can also come late today, so it's possible that you overslept from excitement, haha." There was contemptuous laughter from some concubines, the voice was very soft, but it was very harsh to my ears. Although Emperor Jingyang conferred me as a Dan concubine at the banquet, he did not listen to the queen's lesson before the canonization ceremony according to the palace rules It cannot be canonized, so I can only be a noble person now.

He lowered his head and ignored the provocation thrown by Concubine De, and said sincerely: "The concubine is willing to accept the punishment of the empress."

The queen sitting on Feng smiled gracefully and said: "Get up quickly, it's fine before the auspicious time is missed." In this way, the first canonization ceremony since entering the palace was going on under the eyes of everyone, because the emperor was discussing the affairs of the previous court at this time. , so I can’t come here to listen, some people may feel a little lost, especially Concubine Jin, who sat there expressionless and kept twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand, now she must be thinking how she is so smart It will be calculated by her in silence. After the whole canonization ceremony, all the concubines went back to the palace, but the queen left me behind.

Pretending to be a little nervous, she sat on the mahogany chair in the palace and silently lowered her head to look at the silk handkerchief in her hand. At this moment, the queen's gentle voice came from the phoenix seat: "I really didn't expect that there is a hidden treasure in the palace." A master of Danqing, Concubine Dan really impresses me!" He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Concubine only knows a little bit, which makes the empress laugh!"

"It's just you and me here, so there's no need to be too polite." The queen stretched out her hand to help.

At this time, Huanpei next to the queen walked up to the queen with something from behind. The queen glanced down and then signaled Huanpei to bring the thing to me. The green-headed card, the word "Danbi" is impressively written on the golden card, and the red cinnabar handwriting is extraordinarily dazzling.

I am no longer Qin Guiren but Dan Concubine, so the brand has to be renamed. I looked at the queen sitting on the phoenix with a little surprise. The queen's eyes were full of mystery, but she still looked graceful and said: "Yesterday, when I was looking at the family book of the respected office, I found that your name was not there, so I sent someone to Huang Jing. After careful inquiry, I found out that I was left behind by this stupid slave. Now Bengong has sent him to Xinzheku to serve, hi! As the master of the harem, I was ordered to take care of all the affairs of the harem, but unexpectedly, these slaves took advantage of the loopholes and made my sister feel wronged !"

"Queen, there is something in her words." The reason why she said this is to let me take the initiative to say that I offended Concubine Jin before she withdrew the green card. Since she interrogated Huang Jing, it is impossible for her not to know this. Thing, if I take the initiative to say this, the empress will definitely move out of the palace rules and make this matter public, and then I will offend the two biggest masters in the palace, and the empress is trying to use me.

Wanting to use me as cannon fodder is for my own good, but secretly she wants to use me to get rid of the thorn in Concubine Jin's side, so as to consolidate her position in the harem!I can't slide down the slope of the queen, the only way is to pretend to be stupid, look into the mysterious eyes of the queen, pretend to be innocent and humbly say: "The concubine is afraid, the queen's mother should take care of everything every day and neglect some small things. Yes, in fact, it was originally a concubine who was blessed, and I ask the empress not to blame him."

Hearing what I said, the queen's smiling face was startled at first, but in an instant it changed back to the previous calm and gentle way: "Danbi is indeed a smart person, no wonder the emperor likes it, but when the time comes, don't be smart and be misled by cleverness." It's good." Standing up quickly, the assistant lowered her body and saluted: "The concubine strictly obeys the instructions of the empress." The empress who was sitting on Feng waved her hand lazily and said lightly: "I'm tired, you step down!"

"Yes, the concubine is retiring first, and your empress, please take care of your body."

Holding Treading Xue's hand, she walked out of Ningfeng Palace's door. After walking a little farther, she let out a long sigh of relief, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. The queen is indeed a ruthless character, and she will be silent. I'm going to catch you off guard, the affairs of the harem really can't escape her eyesight, but it's a bit unnecessary for the queen to do so. If she would have helped me when Concubine Jin withdrew my green card, I might have I am grateful to her, but she said that I mentioned this matter to me when I feel like a fish in water. Isn't her mind just revealed?

Maybe the queen is not so stupid. She did this to give me a warning. In this harem, she is the real master. No matter how the concubines in the harem calculate, it is impossible to surpass her. She knows everything about everyone. , the green head card is the queen who puts pressure on me, she can't let me overshadow her, the death of the master will be faster!
Life in the palace can be said to be frightening every step of the way. Every concubine who climbed to a high position walked up on the blood of others, either living or dying in the calculation.

The coolness of the autumn wind brought me a little bit of coolness, and the coolness of the autumn wind made me shiver. The bright yellow in the distance was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. It was Emperor Jingyang's imperial lord who was walking towards Ningfeng Palace. Didn't Emperor Jingyang discuss the state affairs in the previous court? Could it be over? He couldn't think about it and stopped quickly, leaning on the side and bowing his lower body, saying: "My concubine Qin Shuang, please greet me for a long time! Long live Lord auspicious!" Emperor Jingyang Yu Huan stopped in front of him, Emperor Jingyang got off from Yu Huan, stretched out his hand to help me up and said thoughtfully: "Qin Shuang?" Looking up, he saw the thoughtful expression on Emperor Jingyang's face Said: "It's the concubine's boudoir name."
