After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 42 A wife does not tolerate concubines

In the Changchun Palace, Meng Qianqian met Concubine Li, the emperor's biological mother.

Concubine Li is wearing a goose-yellow palace dress and a red gold phoenix hairpin with eight tails. In this outfit, she is just one step away from the queen.

Meng Qianqian lowered her eyes, without looking directly at the imperial concubine's face, and knelt down with Banxia.

Luluo couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your concubine, your concubine is so beautiful!"

This was not really because she was trying to please Concubine Li, but because she was truly amazed by Concubine Li's beauty. Even though she gave birth to a princess and a young emperor, the years did not leave many traces on her face.

She is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe her. When she looks at the city, she looks at the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy with lost appearance.

After hearing Lu Luo's words, Lin Wan'er subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Concubine Li.

"Be bold!"

The female officer next to Concubine Li was fierce.

Lin Wan'er's face changed slightly, Lu Luo didn't know what mistake she had made, and her face turned pale with fright.

Eunuch Wang sighed secretly, the daughter of a general from the border gate is not as good as a businesswoman who knows the rules. Can you desecrate the appearance of a noble concubine?

Lin Wan'er glanced at Meng Qianqian, who was kneeling on the ground calmly and calmly, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

With Meng Qianqian Zhuyu in front of her, although she followed the example, she was never dignified and decent enough.

Strange to say, Meng Qianqian was just a business girl, but she behaved like a real noblewoman from aristocratic family.

Concubine Li's unreadable eyes swept across Meng Qianqian and landed on Lin Wan'er, who was obviously not very thoughtful in etiquette. She smiled tenderly and said, "Although I come from a scholarly family, in my heart, I respect the people who protect the country and the people the most." General Zhou, I didn’t like to learn these red tapes when I was a child. Let’s get along with Miss Lin and Mrs. Lu!”

She actually put Lin Wan'er in front of Meng Qianqian, not to mention her words that deliberately praised Lin Wan'er.

So what if it's decent? In the palace, what is seen is not the words and deeds, but the promotion of the noble concubine.

Lin Wan'er suddenly felt confident.

Meng Qianqian said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

She folded her hands in front of her forehead, bowed again, and stood up with Banxia's help.

Lin Wan'er was also helped up by Luluo.

"sit."

Concubine Li said with a smile.

Meng Qianqian sat down at the bottom without any hesitation.

Lin Wan'er walked over and sat next to her.

Luluo peeked at Banxia, ​​and she stood wherever Banxia stood.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "I called you two here today because of General Lu's affairs. Both of you are General Lu's virtuous assistants, and General Lu is a confidant of the Emperor, so I will not treat you as outsiders. General Lu made great contributions to the border, and when he returned to the court, he was named the third-rank general of Zhenbei by the emperor. But not long ago, General Lu was impeached by the imperial censor. Not only was he demoted to the first rank, I heard that he was also beaten by three hundred soldiers. Rod.”

After speaking, Concubine Li let out a long sigh, "After I heard about this, I felt very unhappy. General Lu went into battle to kill the enemy and save the people. Looking at his achievements in this dynasty, how many people can compare with him? But there was someone who took it. He has made a big fuss about his harem. In order to prevent General Lu from being burdened by the harem in the future, I would like to hear your opinions. "

Meng Qianqian said nothing.

Seeing that she remained silent, Lin Wan'er lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Concubine Li said: "Miss Lin is a loyal and loyal queen. Her father and brother were saved by General Lu. They left him alone before his death. General Lu is an upright man, and he and Miss Lin have a good relationship. Why don't you let me make the decision today? The girl has the same title, what do you two think?"

Lin Wan'er's eyes moved slightly and she gestured with sign language.

Luluo said hurriedly: "My girl said, but it's up to the queen to make the decision!"

Concubine Li smiled and looked at Meng Qianqian: "Mrs. Lu, I guess you don't have any objections, right?"

Meng Qianqian asked: "I wonder what title the imperial concubine will give Miss Lin? Is it a noble concubine, a good concubine, or a cheap concubine?"

Concubine Li's smile faded: "Of course it's the side room!"

Meng Qianqian said: "The concubine is the same as a common wife. Does the imperial concubine want to be married?"

Concubine Li said: "So what?"

Meng Qianqian stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "If the imperial concubine gives you a concubine, you can have as many girls as you like. But historically, only emperors and concubines can propose marriages. If girl Lin wants to be my husband's concubine, she must either get my consent and get married by a matchmaker; or, Please give the order personally!"

Concubine Li slapped her hand on the table: "You are so presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this!"

Meng Qianqian's words undoubtedly hurt Concubine Li. She hated people saying she was not as good as the queen! Concubine Li said coldly: "The queen has no children, and the current emperor is my son. Do you think I don't want an imperial decree granting marriage?"

Meng Qianqian: "Your Majesty, please issue an order."

Concubine Li: "You—"

absurd! How could the emperor issue such a decree? Aren't you waiting to be reviled by everyone in the world?

Concubine Li looked at Meng Qianqian coldly: "The plum blossoms in my palace are blooming. They were planted by the Supreme Emperor himself when I was granted the title of concubine, Ying Yue."

"My slave is here."

"Take Mrs. Lu to appreciate the plum blossoms, and appreciate them on your knees!"

"yes."

Meng Qianqian knelt on the cold and hard bluestone.

Banxia knelt down together.

Concubine Li was holding the warm Tang Pozi in her arms, half-leaning on the concubine's couch, and looking at her cardamom-stained nails leisurely: "Open the door, and I will also smell the fragrance of plum blossoms."

The airy palace door is open, and the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month rushes into the courtyard.

Not long after, heavy snow fell from the sky, falling inch by inch on the top of Meng Qianqian's hair, shoulders, and eyebrows. Soon, even the long eyelashes were covered with snowflakes.

Banxia was so distressed that she burst into tears. Last time she was caught in the rain, but this time she was forced to kneel in the heavy snow.

Meng Qianqian knelt in the snow with her back straight, as proud as a pine or a bamboo.

Concubine Li snorted coldly: "Let me see how stubborn she can be!"

Teeth line.

Tan'er got the calculated account book and was about to return to Lu's house. When she opened the door, she saw the sky full of wind and snow, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's snowing! There are so many drops of snow!"

Her eyes were bright and she was about to jump out to play in the snow when a bare hand caught her in time and dragged her to the backyard.

"Shi Niang, what are you doing?"

Tan'er asked with her hands on her hips.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Shi Niang pulled her and hid behind a pillar, peeking at a group of people passing by outside the lobby, "You go through the back door, don't let those people bump into you!"

"Who are they?" Tan'er asked.

Shiniang said: "People from Wanhua Tower!"

Tan'er frowned: "Are those guys cowardly? I want to beat them up!"

Shi Niang covered her mouth: "The people from Wanhua Building want to buy you. If Zhichun's mother sells you to someone else, we won't have to work in the dental shop anymore. It's not easy for sisters to be good, so just treat it like I'm begging you and come through the back door." Walk!"

Tan'er took her hand away and said, "Okay."

After returning to the Lu family, Tan'er heard Nanny Li say that Meng Qianqian had entered the palace. She turned around and left: "Eh, go find your sister!"

"Hey, Tan'er, come back—"

Tan'er has gone far.

Aunt Li sighed: "This girl."

Brother Wu was called to work by Manager Liu, and Tan'er lost his carriage.

"Do you know where the palace is?"

"How do I get to the palace?"

"Going through the palace in reverse?"

Tan'er braved the heavy snow and asked questions all the way, receiving many looks and lies, and finally reached the palace.

She bent down, held her legs, and gasped: "I'm so exhausted, I'm so exhausted!"

Regarding the title of Concubine Li, I made some reference to some online information - during the period when Qianlong was the Supreme Emperor, his concubines still used their previous titles. In the draft in the third year of Jiaqing, two beautiful ladies were given to the Supreme Emperor Qianlong, who were named Shou Guiren and Jin respectively. Nobles, after Qianlong's death, his concubines were granted the title of concubine, too noble, etc. by Emperor Jiaqing.
