Rather be a concubine

Chapter 140
As for Prince He, Bo Yuqiao was really lucky to have met him, after all, the man sitting next to Empress Dowager An during the girls' test was Prince He Chuyi.But right now in Ci'an Palace, Prince He has never appeared, the head of the female family is only Prince He's concubine.

Princess He and Princess Wu naturally looked down on Empress Dowager An very much. After all, before entering the palace, Empress Dowager An was just a woman from a small family. The concubine who accompanied the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum was no different.It's really unfair that a vulgar and vulgar woman has ascended to the position of Queen Mother now!

Contrary to Empress Dowager An, Prince He's concubine Wu's family background is extremely high, and the Wu family is originally a wealthy family, so she can be selected as Prince He's main concubine.

It's also fortunate that Princess He is tolerant, even though she is kneeling on the ground and being humiliated by the stupid Empress Dowager An, she can still force a smile on her face and speak.

"The empress dowager is really worrying too much. You have always been kind and generous, and everyone in the court knows it. How can the adults feel resentful towards you because of such a trivial matter?"

Hearing the words spoken by Princess He, the smile in Empress Dowager An's phoenix eyes grew even stronger.When she was in her boudoir, the Wu family was excellent in everything, so Empress Dowager An could only look up, seeing the noble lady kneeling in front of her in such a humble way, this scene was like a dream.

Empress Dowager An knew in her heart that Princess He must be extremely annoyed towards her at this moment, but what's the use of annoyance?She is the empress dowager of the Daqian Dynasty, and the power in her hands can turn the clouds and rains upside down, so she can't tolerate others saying a word.

Empress Dowager An raised the corners of her lips slightly, chuckled, and said.

"If that's the case, all the ladies should sit down, and don't be too tired."

Hearing this, everyone thanked them first, and then followed the palace servants and sat down straight away, fearing that Empress Dowager An would have some other thoughts, they began to toss vigorously.

It was about noon now, and there were still three or four hours before the palace banquet, so it was necessary to keep these female relatives for a meal.Empress Dowager An thought for a while, then winked at Hua Yao, who understood and said.

"Ladies, please move into the dining hall. The Empress Dowager has already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a table for the ladies."

After a short rest, I have to move.Right now, all the female relatives have long been afraid of Queen Mother An's madness, so naturally they don't feel the slightest sense of hunger.However, since the female officials beside the queen mother have already spoken, they are not easy to save the queen mother's face, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

After eating some food without taste, all the female relatives entered the side hall of Ci'an Palace to rest for a while, because Empress Dowager An wanted to take a nap, so they left the side hall earlier.After Empress Dowager An left, all the ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

After the time passed, the sun was already bright red, like the best blood jade.Even the clouds in the sky were dyed crimson at this moment, extremely brilliant.

In about half an hour, the sun will completely set, and then it will be the time for the palace banquet.As the little lady performing the dance, it is naturally not good for Bo Yuqiao to sit with everyone in the Bo residence. After all, there are so many actors now, and there is some confusion when performing the dance. If something goes wrong, it will not be beautiful.

The previous palace maid named Lu Yue was standing in front of all the young ladies, a thin layer of blush appeared on her beautiful face at this moment, and she spoke coquettishly.

"I also invite all the young ladies who are performing dances to come with your servants. Let's go to the Mingfeng Tower first, so we can make preparations early."

Hearing this, the young ladies who wanted to perform the dance got up from the mahogany stools one after another, then stepped forward a few steps and walked in front of Lu Yue.When there were no more dancing ladies left among the female relatives, Lu Yue smiled slightly, and then walked lightly with lotus steps towards the outside of Ci'an Palace.

Among this group of young ladies performing dances, Bo Yuqiao's status is not high, and the leader is Yuan Yazhen, the second lady of the Yasukuni Mansion.Just like Bo Yuqiao, this Yuan Yazhen is not the concubine's daughter in Duke Jing's mansion, but the second daughter of a concubine, and has nothing to do with Mrs. Jingguo's wife.

Right now, Yuan Yazhen is only about to reach Ji's age, and she looks really good, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, red lips and white teeth, black hair like willow smoke, elegant temperament, really slender figure, and a faint smile between her eyebrows. His face is melancholy, just like sister Lin in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Seeing Yuan Yazhen, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help but think of the elder brother who was betrothed to Bo Yurong, that Yuan Jiyuan son was the eldest son of the Duke of Jing's mansion.Mrs. Jingguo has a son and a daughter. The legitimate son is Yuan Ji, and the only legitimate daughter is the young lady of the Jingguo residence, Yuan Xiangyu.

Speaking of which, this Yuan Xiangyu is also somewhat related to Bo Yuqiao. If she remembers correctly, King Rui's current side concubine should be named after this?
Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao's red lips curved slightly, and she couldn't help shaking her head.The back house of King Rui's Mansion must not be a safe place, and I don't know if the proud girl like Yuan Xiangyu can withstand the open and dark arrows in the back house of King Rui's Mansion.

Mingfeng Tower is also some feet away from Ci'an Palace, and now Bo Yuqiao and his party have entered the imperial garden.

This royal garden is really not comparable to the simple land boundary of Bo Mansion.Right now, the imperial garden is full of blooming peonies.These peonies are of different varieties. Except for the famous Yao Huang Wei Zi Lv Yun Zhao Fen, the rest of Bo Yuqiao cannot be identified. So many peonies have gathered into a sea of ​​colorful flowers at this moment. I feel that there is a strong fragrance all around, which makes people fascinated.

Seeing such a rare piece of peony flowers, even though the young ladies around suppressed their emotions and didn't want to be too rude, the joy in their eyebrows and eyes did not diminish by half, and they looked at the sea of ​​peonies wantonly .

But even if the scenery in the imperial garden is very good, Lu Yue doesn't want to stay here for too long.The palace man squinted at the group of young ladies behind him, sneering secretly in his heart, they really are a group of young ladies who have never seen the world, they are nothing more than a field of peonies, far worse than the plum grove in the winter moon, where is it? As for what it looks like?

Even if she doesn't like these little ladies in her heart, Lu Yue has been in the palace for eight or nine years, so she can be called a human being, and she won't show any signs of it easily, and leads a group of little ladies straight and respectful. The lady goes forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the sea of ​​peony flowers came to an end.

On the other side of the red cloud, a beautiful woman in palace attire suddenly appeared.

I saw that the woman was wearing a long skirt of peony thin hookah that dragged the floor, her thick black hair like a cloud of smoke was combed into a flying fairy bun, in which there were dots of emerald inlaid with pearls on the hairpin of Suihan Sanyou's head, and her ears were as thin as cream The red emerald drop bead earrings hanging on the head are really gorgeous, which further highlights the woman's gorgeous appearance.

The eyebrows are not drawn but dark, the lips are not punctured but red, the phoenix eyes are long and narrow, exuding a sharpness and charm, two very different charms are intertwined together, which makes this woman's appearance even more peerless.

Looking at the woman now, Bo Yuqiao could only think of a poem.

Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising from the morning glow; when observing it by force, it is as bright as green waves coming out of a flower.

In the past, others said that she, Bo Yuqiao, had a beautiful appearance, but now compared with the woman in front of her, she seemed to have been stepped into the dust, and the difference between the bright moon and the brightness of the firefly was just that.

So stunning, but what is his identity?

Bo Yuqiao had some doubts in her heart, and so did the little lady standing with her, but it was naturally difficult to ask questions at this moment, so she had to be patient for a while.

The woman in palace attire naturally saw this group of people, her extremely beautiful phoenix eyes raised slightly, her red lips slightly raised, and a melodious voice like a zither rang out immediately.

"Lu Yue, presumably you are going to bring these little ladies like Mingfenglou right now?"

Hearing the woman in palace costume questioning, the beautiful face of the female officer named Lu Yue showed a trace of jealousy and disgust, but she didn't show it too obviously, and answered directly at the woman who blessed her body in a perfunctory manner.

"If you go back to the imperial concubine, the servants are going to take all the young ladies to Mingfeng Tower."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was slightly taken aback, she never thought that the stunning beauty in front of her would be the imperial concubine.There is only one person in the palace who is assigned to the imperial concubine, and that is Yu Yunzhi, the eldest lady of the Yu family.

In the past, Bo Yuqiao once thought that Yu Yunzhi would be kind of ruthless, but later seeing that Fu Ya's biological mother, Yu Jieyu, was not a kind person, so she didn't have any bad feelings towards this imperial concubine.Earlier, with the help of Mr. Songqin, Bo Qingcheng provoked Yu Linzhi, so he managed to clean up the second bedroom of the Bo mansion. If the imperial concubine knew about this, I'm afraid he would not be able to please him.

Although the Yu family has been somewhat defeated now, with the astonishing beauty of the imperial concubine, Emperor Chongwen must not have the heart to keep her in the cold palace. After all, beautiful women are easy to get, but stunning beauty is rare.

After knowing the identity of the woman in front of them, the young ladies did not dare to neglect, and immediately bowed to Yu Yunzhi and said.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress."

Hearing the sound, Yu Yunzhi pursed her red lips lightly, without changing her complexion, and said lightly.

"Everyone, please excuse me. Regarding the palace banquet, the Empress Dowager is naturally very concerned. It is not good for me to stop you at this moment, so hurry up to Mingfeng Tower, don't let the Empress Dowager down."

Hearing this, the crowd left without any further delay in the imperial garden.When the figures of the young ladies could not be seen, Yu Yunzhi narrowed his phoenix eyes, stepped forward a few steps, raised his hand and folded off the most beautiful Wei Zi flower that bloomed nearby, and then twisted the gorgeous petals on it vigorously , ravaged it beyond recognition.

At this moment, Yu Yunzhi's red lips moved, and she spoke in a voice that only she could hear clearly.

"Only the peony is truly national, and it moves the capital when it blooms. Now that the peony has been defeated, what's the use of being famous in the capital?"
