imperial concubine

Chapter 123 Greetings from the Harem
At dawn the next day, Su Wan and the fourth prince got up early.Firstly, the fourth prince slept very uncomfortable last night, and secondly, Su Wan dared not slack off since he was going to visit the empress in the harem today.

Getting up in the morning to dress up, Su Wan specially made another extremely beautiful phoenix dance bun, and specially brought the phoenix-headed gold hairpin she got at the Nobile Night Banquet on her head. go out.

Not long after, Su Wan was carried to the front of Kunning Palace by Luanyu. After Su Wan and the fourth prince reported, they walked into the palace together.Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in the palace, Su Wan felt very sad.

When the mother and queen of the previous life were alive, I grew up in this Kunning Palace, so I am very familiar with every plant and tree in the palace.It's just that when I come back now, I have become an outsider, and there are really all kinds of strange things in the world.

Just when Su Wan recalled, she and the fourth prince had arrived at the empress's palace without knowing it.I saw blue smoke slowly rising from the incense burner in the hall, and a few blue and white porcelains were placed on one side of the antique rack, and the empress was reading a book in casual clothes.

When the fourth prince saw the queen, he immediately brought Su Wan to kneel down, "I pay homage to the empress." Su Wan on the other side also knelt on the ground slowly, and said softly, "Su Wan has met the empress."

When the queen heard the greetings from the two, she put down the book in her hand.Today is the first day of the fourth prince's wedding, so coming so early to greet him is the meaning of the question, and the queen is not very surprised.

Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, the queen smiled and said to them: "Get up quickly! They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be so restrained. Huixue, pour tea for the fourth prince and the fourth prince concubine."

The maid standing behind the queen responded, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.Ever since she came in, Su Wan kept her head down, she was afraid that others would see the melancholy in her eyes.

After the two sat down, the queen looked at Su Wan carefully.Suddenly seeing the gold hairpin on Su Wan's head, he squinted his eyes slightly, "The fourth prince's concubine is indeed outstanding. I heard that you are also the winner of the crested hairpin this year?"

After Yun Jingya returned from the Nobile Banquet, she would naturally tell the queen in detail.At this time, the queen asked again, just to confirm Su Wan's identity, and to get closer to her by the way.

Hearing the queen's words, Su Wan got up quickly and replied: "The empress really has good eyesight. This year's golden hairpin banquet is all thanks to my sister's care, and relying on my empress's blessing, Su Wan just got this golden hairpin."

These few words made the queen very happy.This Su Wan not only knows how to read and respect, but also seems to be a child who knows how to advance and retreat. There are fewer and fewer people like this now.

The Empress smiled and said: "If you get it, you have the ability, so why say these things to please me? However, it is a blessing from the previous life that the fourth prince can accept you as his concubine."

Su Wan was about to say a few words of modesty, but at this moment, she heard a shout from outside the door: "Concubine Shu is here!" Then there was a sound of footsteps, and a concubine with almond eyes, beautiful eyebrows and a small mouth came in from outside.

I saw her wearing a lake-blue phoenix gown with brocade pipa lapel and pipa lapel in ten styles of brocade and yellow roses, a jacquard satin skirt with a beige bottom that dragged the floor, and a camel-yellow bottom embroidered with gourd and double-happiness patterns on organdy gauze. Kam.

The long hair like a waterfall is twisted into a romantic and chic hairstyle, and there are silk pomegranate and sapphire bracelets inserted in the lightly curled temples, a red gold longevity lock bracelet on her creamy skin, and a wishful tassel sash around her waist. The whole person looks delicate, tender, and blue-hearted.

The concubine said with a charming smile: "My younger sister has met my elder sister. I don't know if my elder sister's health has improved recently? My younger sister has been busy with affairs in the palace recently. If there is something incomprehensible, my elder sister should forgive me."

This concubine is the only concubine Shu in the harem who dares to fight against the queen. Judging from her words just now, it is obvious that she has not been to Kunning Palace for a long time. I won't be here today.

Seeing Concubine Shu coming in, the Fourth Prince quickly saluted Concubine Shu, "I have met Concubine Shu." Su Wan also followed the Fourth Prince to salute Concubine Shu, "Su Wan has met Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu's eyes swept over the fourth prince and Su Wan, and finally landed on the crested gold hairpin on Su Wan's head, her eyes flashed, as if the crested gold hairpin reminded her of something generally.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu said: "Get up quickly. I heard that the Fourth Prince's Concubine is a talented woman with a gold hairpin who is famous in the capital. I need to see her well today."

Concubine Shu's words sounded weird, and she seemed to be at odds with Su Wan.Today I came to pay my respects to the empress in the harem, but Concubine Shu said that she wanted to see and see, so what exactly did she want to see?

Just when Su Wan was puzzled, the queen said lightly: "What did my sister say? If you want to see, there will be plenty of time in the future to open your eyes. Today, the fourth prince brought the prince and concubine to you aunts in the harem." Please."

Although Concubine Shu's words were not pleasant to listen to, the empress was not easy to provoke.There was a needle hidden in the few words, and she returned all of Concubine Shu's overt praise and undertones.If you want to open your eyes, I will have a lot of opportunities for you to see in the future!

Hearing what the queen said, Concubine Shu naturally refused to admit defeat.She was the only one in the harem who dared to compete with the empress for favor.Hearing the Queen's words at this time, she lightly shook the round fan in her hand, and said with a smile: "Although my sister has never seen anything in the world, but she wants to use some miscellaneous things to coax me, but she can't hide it from my eyes."

Concubine Shu looked at Su Wan while talking.After thinking about it carefully, Su Wan suddenly realized that it was no wonder Concubine Shu was targeting her so much today. At the Nobile Banquet, she was the one who overwhelmed Yuan Yilan and made Concubine Shu's plan fall short, so she was naturally angry with herself.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said with a smile: "The concubine Shu was born in a wealthy family, so she has seen a lot of the world. If the empress still hasn't seen anyone in the world, then there will be no one in this world who has seen the world."

Although Concubine Shu has been targeting her since she came in, Su Wan is limited by her future plans, so she can only show kindness to her at this time, but she cannot immediately turn to her.

Concubine Shu was taken aback by Su Wan's words, and then said with a smile: "This girl has a really sweet mouth. However, compared with the empress, the world I have seen is nothing compared to the empress."

Although I don't know what Su Wan's sudden gesture of favor to her means at this time, but Concubine Shu temporarily stopped her offensive, thinking that Su Wan had just entered the palace, and she didn't want to have entanglements with her so soon, that's why she was like this Calm down.

The queen smiled, and then heard the eunuch outside say: "Concubine Lin, please see me." The queen nodded to the eunuch and said, "They are all sisters of my own family, let them avoid these etiquette, just come in directly."

A moment later, a person wearing a gold brocade-patterned dress with a stand-up collar, a skirt with a pattern of twirling vases printed in jade swirls and a dark green background, came in from the outside.

I saw her black and lustrous green silk twisted into a country bun, gemstone hairpins were inserted in the lightly curled temples, an agate ring was worn on her creamy skin, and her waist was tied with shiny green double rings. People are as radiant as peaches and plums.

After Concubine Lin walked into the palace, she greeted the empress and concubine Shu, and then received the gifts from Su Wan and the fourth prince, then she waved the round fan and said: "I have something to do in the palace, my sister is a bit late, don't worry about it. It's me."

Seeing that Concubine Lin's face was not flushed and she was not out of breath, it was clear that she was late on purpose, but she was talking nonsense there, even if Su Wan had just entered the palace, she could feel Concubine Lin's hostility towards the empress.

The queen who was sitting on the right seat smiled very kindly, and then said to Concubine Lin: "Since my sister has something to do in the palace, it doesn't matter if you come late. After all, it takes some time for a person like my sister to deal with things." , my sister knows."

Su Wan who was sitting on the side almost laughed out loud!Unexpectedly, the queen seems to be extremely kind, but her mouth is so unforgiving!Concubine Lin made up excuses to procrastinate on purpose just now, but the queen directly called her an idiot, it was really fun!

Concubine Lin naturally heard what the queen meant, and the color on her face changed instantly. After a while, she suppressed her anger and said, "Sister knows that my sister likes to be thoughtful, so it is inevitable that I will waste more effort. Speaking of which, my sister I'm so envious of my sister's temperament of cutting through messes quickly and neatly."

Concubine Lin naturally refused to accept being called by the queen that she was an idiot.There was a gun and a stick in the words, insinuating that the queen's things were simple and rude, and she didn't care about the indiscriminateness and just went straight to the knife, which was naturally quick.

At this time, Concubine Shu on the other side also echoed: "Sister said it very well, who in the harem doesn't know that the empress is the most straightforward? Anything in the hands of the empress can be solved in an instant. Such a temper is really refreshing Extremely."

Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin are on the same side. The queen in the harem is very powerful, and both of them refused to accept the queen, so they joined forces to fight against the queen.Concubine Shu is very powerful and Concubine Lin is favored. With the two of them working together, even the queen would not dare to do anything to them lightly.

Therefore, the two of them had already taken advantage of the queen while they sang and harmonized.However, the two are also people who know how to advance and retreat, knowing that they have teased the queen today, if they continue, they are afraid that it will be bad for them, so they are ready to change the topic.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone outside the door said lightly: "That's natural. However, with such a straightforward temper, the empress is most afraid of those insidious villains who hide their knives in their smiles."

Concubine Shu, who was originally sitting on the chair, frowned.Those who can survive in the harem are naturally not simple. If it is said that the queen is so simple, no one will believe it.It's just that this person turned the queen into a naive person, and called himself that sinister and cunning villain.

Hearing the slow ringing of the bead curtain, a beautiful woman in palace attire came in from the door. She was wearing an amber-colored silk-bottomed crane pattern round-neck jacket, and a pink-orange bottom-printed peony skirt that stretched across the floor. , wearing a light red elastic ink butterfly bixialuo antique satin, obviously dressed up before going out.

The waterfall-like hair is twisted into a romantic and unique double-knife bun, and Huasheng is inserted into the lightly curled temples. On her creamy skin, she wears an emerald green bracelet, and her waist is tied with wishful tassels. The beauty is peerless, shy and refined.

The man looked at Su Wan and smiled, and then said to everyone present: "Jingya has seen the mother, the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine." It was precisely because of the several encounters with Su Wan before that they had a secret enmity outside the palace Yun Jingya!
