Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 41

This is the second time for her to enter the Xian Palace, walking on the familiar road, the first thing she thinks of is Shen Min.I don't know if she is doing well now, or if she is filled with hatred.No matter what, she must get rid of Gan Lu as soon as possible, so that Shen Min can get out of the hatred earlier.Today, she wants Gan Lu to pay the price for his actions.

The venue for the banquet was chosen to be the Flower Hall of King Xian's Mansion. Because it was the twelfth lunar month, the hall was filled with silver carbon, and thick curtains were hung all around to prevent the cold wind from entering.There were not many people who came today, there were a total of about twenty of them, all of whom were nobles and grandchildren, one of the best families in the capital, not only with status, but also with a deep background.It is precisely because of this that the three daughters of the Gan family came all at once, which caused such a big disturbance in the capital.

It is said that people are divided into groups. A lady like Gan Wei who is a daughter of the prime minister is also the daughter of the prince and marquis. After she came, she got together with a few ladies warmly. It was nothing more than someone's The clothes look good, whose jewelry looks good, on the surface they are showing off, but in fact they are comparing each other.Gan Qin and several other young ladies also got together. The ones with Gan Qin were not very beautiful but very talented young ladies. The power and status in the family were very ordinary. The princess invited me, so we stood together and talked about which student's poems are good recently, which literati's articles are good, and the four words arty and elegant are the most suitable for them.

Because Ganfu came to participate for the first time, she had no acquaintances, and the people who came here were all good people. Before coming here, she had sent someone to inquire about the background of the ladies participating in the banquet. Therefore, Ganfu's background was in the eyes of these ladies. It is the object of old age and death.She also kept in mind San Yiniang's words and minimized her sense of presence. However, it wasn't that she wanted to be invisible, others would make her invisible. No, Gan Wei had already led a group of ladies over.

"Sixth sister, I know that you are here for the first time to participate in this kind of banquet. No one knows you. Fourth sister will introduce you to some ladies!" Gan Wei led the four daughters in Beijing to Ganfu. His eyes gleamed mockingly. "This is Miss Fan, this is Miss Su, this is Miss Feng, and this is Miss Zhao!"

Several young ladies stood in front of Ganfu, all of them arrogant, with contempt and arrogance on their faces.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister!" Although she knew everyone, she couldn't at this time, so she stood up and smiled at the ladies, "My name is Gan Fu, and I am the sixth daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Little sister, take care of me!"

"Speaking of which, Miss Six should call me cousin!" Fan Lin, the daughter of the Fan family, stared at Gan Fu with a sincere smile, "Miss Six must have outstanding talent to be invited by Princess Mingyue. And look at Miss Six's appearance, I think she is three points more beautiful than Shen Hui, the former "No. [-] beauty in the capital"!" Fan Lin and Gan Wei have always been inseparable, because their father is an academician of the Imperial Academy, so they are inseparable They all exuded a strong scholarly atmosphere, and their voices were gentle and delicate when they spoke, giving people a comfortable feeling.

"I remember the chief writer of "Ginggi Miscellaneous Talk" described Shen Hui by Fengyue Gongzi: as charming as a white lotus under the moon, which can be seen from a distance but not to be played with; "The most beautiful woman in the capital" is not only because of her beauty, but also because she is talented, playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Beijing, you must not only have a good appearance, otherwise, The oiran in the brothel can also become the 'No. 12 beauty in the capital'!" Su Qian, daughter of Shangshu Hubu, cousin of the second prince, and appointed side concubine of the second prince, was smiling at this moment, and what she said seemed to be just Small talk, but actually satirizing Ganve.

Gan Fu had known for a long time that Gan Wei would not be so kind, and now she could tell that these people were united to embarrass her.Although she knew that she should bear it at this time, she was not a soft persimmon. Others slapped her in the face, and she still smiled at her face, so she smiled slightly, "What this lady said is that I am just a little-known How can she compare with Sister Shen Hui!"

Hearing Ganfu's words, the smiles on the faces of several people became brighter, but the contempt in their eyes was even greater.Hmph, she's just a wild girl, and she also wants to eat at the same table with them, and she doesn't weigh how much she weighs.

Seeing everyone's complacent expressions, Gan Fu twitched a trace of sarcasm, and then said slowly: "However, Sister Shen Hui's Fanghua has passed away, and this 'No. [-] Beauty in the Capital' must be replaced again! In Fuer It seems that the only one in the capital who can compete with her is Sister Fan." Since her death, many girls have been staring at the title of "the most beautiful woman in the capital", although everyone seems to be Not showing it, but in fact, who doesn't want to be the number one beauty.I heard that Fan Lin and Su Qian were the most popular recently, and I just took advantage of the conflict between them to help myself out.

After listening to Gan Fu's words, Fan Lin smiled proudly and proudly, and deliberately squinted at the unwilling Su Qian, then stepped forward to hold Gan Fu's hand with a smile, "Don't say that again, cousin, I know you are Protect me, but there are so many talented ladies in Beijing, how can I get such praise!"

Su Qian's face turned red and turned pale, and her eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness when she looked at Fan Lin.

The masked Gan Wei was so angry that she was about to smoke. She had always been pretty, but she was not as good as her sister or this cousin, but she still felt ashamed to be pointed out directly.And Fan Lin and Gan Fu's cousins ​​called so affectionately, they didn't pay her any attention at all.

"This is Fu'er's sincere words. My cousin is not only beautiful, she has been educated in poetry and books under the influence of her uncle since she was a child, and she is also kind and kind to others. Except for her cousin, who else can bear such a reputation!" Gan Fu said earnestly. He stared at Fan Lin, his eyes full of sincerity, because he was afraid that Fan Lin would not believe him, he was very anxious, and the hand held by Fan Lin deliberately broke out in a cold sweat.

Fan Lin felt the sweat in Ganfu's palms and the anxiety in her eyes, and she felt even more beautiful in her heart. This Ganfu looked like a careless person, but she said in a few words, "Sister, I just believe you! I'm getting married, and when I have nothing to do in the future, I can often come to Fan's house to play with me!"

"Well, thank you cousin!" Gan Fu stared at Fan Lin gratefully, and glanced at Su Qian and Gan Wei from the corner of her eye. Today, this seed has been buried in the hearts of these ladies, and Fan Lin may not be able to do so in the future. It's better.

"I heard that some time ago you were invited by the King Xian to play the piano for him. The King Xian's piano skills are known as the best in Nanming. If he can be appreciated by the King Xian, I believe that my sister's piano skills must be superb. I hope to have the opportunity to listen to your natural music! "Ganfu praised her, and she can't help but praise others. Although she thinks what Ganfu said is the truth, she still needs to be humble, especially in this kind of occasion. He was crowned with a reputation of being arrogant.Not many people know about Gan Fu's entry into the Xian Palace. Fan Lin also heard from Gan Wei. She is not familiar with Gan Fu, and she doesn't know what she is good at, so she used this matter to attack.

When Fan Lin's words came out, everyone was shocked.Except for Princess Mingyue and Princess Fengxiang, no women have ever entered Xianwang's mansion, and even the servants who serve are all men.The Xian Wang himself is Zhilan Yushu, unattainable, unmarried since he was 25 years old, and has always been the dream lover of many boudoir ladies in Nanming. Incredible.

Gan Qin, who was standing in the crowd, was attracted by Fan Lin's words. Her eyes, which were always indifferent and alienated, locked on the petite woman standing beside Fan Lin, and her black eyes gradually accumulated deep emotions. hatred.

"Sister Fan is too famous. My piano was taught by sister Shen Hui, but I am stupid, so I can only learn a little bit from sister Shen Hui. The virtuous king asked me to play the piano, but because of my piano skills and sister Shen Hui. It’s just that your piano skills are similar!” Ganfu didn’t feel ashamed at all when she praised herself.The former self could be hailed as the "No. [-] beauty in the capital", outstanding in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, otherwise she would not have been favored by the emperor and appointed as the crown princess.The ladies standing here today used to live under her halo, and none of them could surpass themselves.Now that she is dead, these people began to compete secretly, wanting to win the title of "the most beautiful woman in the capital", but she didn't know that her number one was not boastful, but that Mr. Fengyue voted among the nobles and literati in Beijing. derived.

After hearing Ganfu's words, all the ladies let out a long sigh of relief, some laughed, and some looked away contemptuously from Ganfu.Only Ganqin's gaze has been following Ganfu, with an inexplicable deep meaning.

"Hmph, let me just say that even a lowly servant girl is worthy of the praise of the virtuous king. It turned out that she just wanted to imitate others, and she just hoped that she wouldn't be like a dog by painting a tiger!" Head held high, eyes full of contempt and contempt.

"Miss Su's words are wrong. Fu'er is still young. Given time, she will definitely surpass Shen Hui!" Su Qian is Fan Lin's biggest opponent now, so to belittle her opponent is to elevate herself. Su Qian always fights against Gan Fu. It will only make people feel mean and aloof, and the more she is tolerant and supportive of Ganfu, the more she can show her generosity.Which is higher and which is lower is immediately apparent.

"Don't think that you are a talented woman because of the invitation of Princess Mingyue. You will see the truth later!" Seeing that the two of them were as good as one person, Su Qian was so angry that she glared at Gan Fu and Fan Lin. Zhang's pretty face was distorted and ugly by the harsh words.After speaking, he turned and went to find someone else.

"Princess Mingyue invited Miss Six. I think Miss Six must have talents that Princess Mingyue can appreciate. Let's wait and see!" Miss Zhao also felt sour in her heart. After speaking, she followed Su Qian and left.

Gan Fu looked at Fan Lin strangely, like a little girl who didn't understand the facts, her eyes were full of doubts.

"Sister, sit down first, Princess Mingyue should be coming soon!" Although Fan Lin is very kind to Gan Fu on the surface, she looks down on Gan Fu in her heart. Fu was useless, seeing Gan Fu being besieged, a flash of complacency flashed in her eyes, then she pretended to be intimate and said something, then turned and left.

Ganfu achieved her goal, looked at the leaving people coldly, and sat gracefully on her chair.His eyes searched the crowd, and under the first seat, he saw Liu Ying sitting upright.Today's Liu Ying is dressed in lotus-colored jackets, her slender body seems to be covered by clothes, her face is haggard, her expression is sluggish, and her eyes that are always gentle are now dull and dull.

Gan Fu's heart was clenched tightly. According to Wen Fei's news, the child in Liu Ying's stomach really belonged to Shen Jie. In order to prevent the child in her stomach from having trouble, Liu Ying and Marquis Huaiyuan kept at a stalemate and forced each other to die. Because she was afraid that her father would play tricks on her diet, Liu Ying paid special attention to what she ate, and she would never eat it unless a maid tried it. In just ten days, she had already lost a lot of weight, and the dark blue under her eyes seemed to have never been there. Like sleeping.

Wen Fei found out that Shen Cong wanted to escape and was killed on the way to be sent to the army. When she heard the news, she even wanted to die, but when she thought about revenge and protecting Min'er , and the child in Liu Ying's belly, she could only cry alone in the middle of the night.

"Princess Mingyue is here! Princess Fengxiang is here!" An old mother shouted, pulling Ganfu back from her grief to reality.

"Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.Because Ganfu was standing in the last seat, just at the door, she could clearly see two shining figures coming in from the door.

After the two princesses sat down, Princess Mingyue raised her hand, "Get up, please! Please sit down!"

"Thank you Princess Mingyue!" Everyone slowly got up and sat down in their previous seats.

"Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the Empress Dowager wants to find some festive couplets, so I thought, gather everyone together and get some good couplets!" There is no flaw in the exquisite makeup, and every gesture is strictly in accordance with the rules and etiquette in the palace.
