82_82655 Emperor Jiahe's draft is an important event in the palace. Seeing that tomorrow will be the official selection, the queen sent someone to Concubine Shu Concubine Rou to Phoenix Rite Palace.
"This is the final selection list handed over by Chu Xiuge. You have to take a look at the portrait first.
The queen spoke, and the lady of the court handed the two portraits to Concubine Shu and Concubine Roux.
Concubine Shu flipped through a few photos and nodded with a smile: "It looks pretty good."
Concubine Rou followed.
Without the most challenging Concubine Duan, the two concubines get together again, and the atmosphere is exceptionally harmonious.
The queen sat on the main seat, looked at the gentle and peaceful Concubine Shu, and looked at the soft and lovely Concubine Rou. Suddenly she missed Concubine Duan a bit, but it was useless for Concubine Duan to be there. The Emperor Jiahe and the woman, even Concubine Shu, the old man who entered the mansion later than her, may not know it, even the Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou, who entered the harem after Emperor Jiahe ascended the throne.
She still has to say.
There was also a portrait in front of her. The queen turned it over and suddenly said with emotion: "It's a pity that the flowers have been spent three thousand times. I didn't catch up with the good time. If it were in previous years, the emperor would select more newcomers for us. Noble, the emperor is afraid that he will never look down on others anymore. It is strange to say that there are two people who look so alike in the world. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not believe it."
What she said aroused people's curiosity.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Rou looked at each other, they didn't care, but they had to step down the queen's steps.
Concubine Rou was young, willing to be the curious one, and asked doubtfully: "The empress has seen a beauty similar to Li Guiren?"
Not only did the queen have seen it, she remembered it all her life.
When she was fourteen, Emperor Jiahe, who was three years older than her, had a marriage appointment. Not long after the marriage was made, Emperor Jiahe was ordered to go to Huizhou for errands for one and a half years. During a visit, Emperor Jiahe met a country girl who was shocked and approached each other pretending to be a merchant. The princes like Emperor Jiahe, women are all within easy reach. In their eyes, as long as they want, the other party should give it gently. The girl Zhong Ting was stubborn, so if Emperor Jiahe didn't marry her, she would not give it. Emperor Jiahe was impulsive when he was young, and for the sake of the beauty, he pretended to marry, and finally took Zhong Ting back to the capital, where he settled in a Zhuangzi, pretending to be a busy business during the day, and only went back at night.
Zhong Ting is a very peaceful woman, An Anxin is a wife at home and has never doubted her husband.
The following year the queen passed, and soon after she became pregnant, Zhong Ting also became pregnant. Emperor Jiahe couldn't bear to confuse the woman's son with a reputation as an outside chamber, and discussed with the queen to bring Zhong Ting back to the palace.
The queen responded generously.
Emperor Jiahe went to discuss with Zhong Ting again, Zhong Ting cried for a long time, and finally returned to the palace with Emperor Jiahe. After entering the mansion, she had to offer tea to the queen as a concubine. Until now, the queen remembers how Zhong Ting looked at her when she offered tea to her.
There is no hatred, no jealousy, only the instinctive look up and endless sadness of a peasant girl when she sees the lady.
Zhong Ting hanged himself that night.
The queen couldn't help but guess that Zhong Ting had a will to die when she agreed to enter the mansion. She just wanted to see what her husband's real wife was like before she died. When she saw it, did she finally understand why Emperor Jiahe refused to marry her?
For such a silly woman, the queen did not bother to hate it. It was Concubine Shu that she really hated, because Concubine Shu was the woman who had been the favorite of Emperor Jiahe for decades under her nose. So when she first saw Guan Ying's portrait, the Queen didn't think about quietly disposing of this woman destined to fascinate Emperor Jiahe, but using her to defeat Concubine Shu.
Does Concubine Shu think that Emperor Jiahe really likes her?
No, as soon as Guan Ying arrives, Concubine Shu will fall from the position of favored concubine and become like her. She can only be an old woman whose years have passed away, and can no longer retain the heart of Emperor Jiahe.
Simply mentioning Zhong Ting, the queen secretly observed Concubine Shu's reaction.
Now she knows why Emperor Jiahe didn't set foot in Zhaoning Palace for half a step this month, right?
Because in the eyes of Emperor Jiahe, there is only one Guan Ying in the entire harem, and Concubine Shu is nothing in front of Zhong Ting and Guan Ying.
Concubine Shu comprehended those words that the Queen hadn't said straight.
It's just that she doesn't care much.
When she entered the palace as a side concubine, there was a concubine and a side concubine beside Emperor Jiahe. At that time, she understood that she was just one of the many women of Emperor Jiahe. Emperor Jiahe suddenly ignored her when she was young, and she might not be used to it, but now she is almost forty. It is not rare for her to come. What is the relationship between Emperor Jiahe's coming or not? As for Emperor Jiahe’s favor, she doesn’t even care about his heart, so why bother about those imaginary ones?
Without Emperor Jiahe and more good grandchildren, her life will only go happier.
"The emperor is really infatuated. Fortunately, there are beautiful and noble people, and finally the emperor's regret." She smiled and said to the queen.
The queen stared at her closely, as if she wanted to see through the sadness she tried to hide under her calm eyes.
Concubine Shu smiled softly and continued to look at the picture album in her hand, feeling a little sympathetic to the queen in her heart. The queen still cares about Emperor Jiahe, so she will use Ligui to stimulate her, but she used the wrong method. Since the queen cares about Emperor Jiahe, she should find a way to take away the heart of Emperor Jiahe, instead of driving away the people around Emperor Jiahe. Now that Emperor Jiahe does not spoil her and becomes a noble person, does the queen really feel better in her heart?
will not.
Because the person that the queen cares most about never gave her what she wanted the most.
The next day's selection of show girls, Emperor Jiahe was late.
The two queens got up and saluted him.
Emperor Jiahe glanced over Concubine Shu, a little apologetic.
It’s just that he is even more sorry to Zhong Ting. He disappointed her sincerity when he was young. Now he finally has a chance to compensate her. He wants to compensate her for the rest of his life, even if she doesn’t remember anything after reincarnation, but he knows Guan Ying is her. Their appearance, their temperament, and even the embarrassment of eating crabs for the first time are exactly the same.
Recalling the joy at the dinner table last night, Emperor Jiahe took his gaze away from Concubine Shu indifferently, took a seat at the main seat, gave a light cough, and said to the three of them: "The two concubines on the prince's side are all complete. Pick someone for him, the second child will give him a side concubine, and the fourth child has a high-sightedness, so he will pick one for him first, so that he will not look down on wasting the side concubine position."
The fifth child is still filial, let's talk about it later.
After the explanation, Emperor Jiahe motioned to the court lady to lead Xiu Nu into the hall.
Emperor Jiahe personally selected people, leaving only the best-looking of each group of beautiful women. In the end, a total of twelve beauties stood in the hall, all of whom were all graceful.
"Choose the fourth one first," Emperor Jiahe turned to ask Concubine Shu, "Which one do you think is better for the fourth one."
He had planned to choose a noble daughter from a famous family and let her suppress the unsecured fourth daughter-in-law. Later, the fourth daughter-in-law fought and gave him a healthy and interesting grandson, and he looked the most like him, Emperor Jiahe was worried that the status of the concubine was too high, and Zhen would not be able to stand up in front of his concubine in the future, so he changed his mind after careful consideration.
He only needs to choose a beautiful side concubine for the fourth child and divide his love for the fourth wife. Without the love, the fourth wife naturally does not dare to make trouble again.
Concubine Shu didn't want to choose anything, but Emperor Jiahe didn't give her any room to refuse.
She smiled and looked at the twelve beauties in front of her, guessing the thoughts of Emperor Jiahe, and chose the most beautiful one.
The reason for her and her son's repeated rejection of Jiahe Emperor was that his son had a high-sightedness. At this time, she deliberately ignored the most beautiful girl. Isn't it perfunctory Jiahe Emperor? Judging from Concubine Shu's understanding of Emperor Jiahe, Emperor Jiahe was only confused about Guan Ying, so she did not dare to take any risks. Anyway, no matter how beautiful the son is, the daughter-in-law will not suffer.
Emperor Jiahe nodded in satisfaction, "What is your name?"
The beautiful woman stepped forward and bowed her knees to salute: "The courtier Yao Caiyan, my father is Yao Chang, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture.
A sixteen-year-old girl with a plump body, a soft and sweet voice, bright and charming, looks slightly inferior to Fu Rong, but she is tall and has the hearty and heroic spirit of a northwest woman. Standing next to Fu Rong, at least she will not be ignored .
Emperor Jiahe wanted such a side concubine, and the more they looked, the more satisfied they became.
The queen laughed and teased Concubine Shu: "Such a beautiful side concubine, the fourth child is going to be happy."
Concubine Shu smiled and said nothing.
Before midday, Chongzheng Hall issued several imperial edicts.
Fu Rong did not expect that there was also a will about his own palace.
After listening to Mother Wen, Fu Rong thought for a while and asked her, "We are only one month away from welcoming a relative in October. Are we ready now?"
Mother Wen kindly said: "It's too late, it's just a side concubine. If you don't have to wait for the Yao family to come and marry you, everything will be done in three days. The princess will take care of her brother with peace of mind, and the old slave will take care of it. It's proper."
She knew about the prince’s strange illness, and deliberately persuaded Fu Rong not to worry about the side concubine splitting the prince’s favor, and felt that it was not her turn to say this, and he knew what the prince was thinking, so she didn't say much.
Fu Rong only heard the word "send to marry".
Yes, the prince's side concubine, that can go to the palace banquet with the concubine to meet the mother-in-law. Naturally, it is not like an ordinary concubine's room. A small sedan chair can be carried in, just like her previous life. In previous years, the princess Concubine Kang would have a side concubine by her side. She was the only one alone. In the blink of an eye, she could take people to the palace for the New Year.
"That's good, I haven't taken care of these yet, and everything is up to the mother." Fu Rong smiled.
Mother Wen accompanied her to say a few more words and left.
Mei Xiang Lan Xiang went out to give people away. After returning, he looked at Fu Rong anxiously. They are Fu Rong's confidantes, and there is no need to hide some thoughts.
"Don't worry about the princess, the side concubine has a nice name..."
Fu Rong leaned over and interrupted Lan Xiang. Sister Fu Ning in the lobby is also a side concubine. Now Mei Xiang Lan Xiang comforts her with the kind of contempt for the side concubine. Once she gets used to it, she passes it to Marquis Residence. What do the people who call Dafang think?
"You don't have to worry, I know it in my heart." Fu Rong looked at Zhen in the bed, who was about to wake up, and told them to prepare water.
The two maids grumbled to prepare.
Fu Rong looked at his son with the scene of laughing with Xu Jin last night in his mind.
She joked and asked him: "Master, do you think your father will choose a side concubine for you?"
Xu Jin thought about it carefully before repliing: "In the past, the emperor would ask me what I meant before sending me a person. I didn't ask this time, so I probably won't send it."
But he forgot what he said personally, the holy intention is unpredictable. . (www..)
