After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 131 Chen Julian

Ye Qinghuai's big wedding was very grand. Some time ago, the Gu family, who was implicated by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment and was criticized by others, suddenly had a turnaround. There was a lot of traffic in front of the door every day, and there was an endless stream of congratulatory people. The scenery in Beijing was unparalleled for a while. .

The beauty of the Gu family almost made many people forget that on the same day of the emperor's wedding, the granddaughter of the Chen family was brought into the emperor's harem as a concubine.

Ye Qinghuai gave her the title of imperial concubine, and she lived in the Yonghe Palace, which was separated from Kunning Palace by a wall.

On the second day of their wedding, Ye Qinghuai decided to visit her imperial concubine.

Unlike Gu Feiyan, Ye Qinghuai had seen the paintings made by Chen Yuansi's granddaughter, so she had a somewhat preconceived understanding of her.

Ye Qinghuai was deeply impressed by her paintings.

Objectively speaking, Ye Qinghuai appreciates her talent very much.

If she wasn't Chen Yuansi's granddaughter, Ye Qinghuai even felt that he could sit with her and have a good chat about the paintings.

But at this moment, Ye Qinghuai's mood when she went to see her was similar to that of meeting an envoy sent by a neighboring country to negotiate.

Yonghe Palace has always been the residence of noble concubines.

Since the selection of the empress is often determined by weighing multiple factors, and is often influenced by the empress dowager and the previous emperor, and cannot be determined by the emperor's own temperament, generally speaking, the highest status that the emperor can give to the woman he loves is the imperial concubine up.

In history, there have been several famous concubines in Yonghe Palace.

Therefore, although the Yonghe Palace cannot be compared with the Queen's Kunning Palace in terms of regulation and status, the furnishings in the palace are not inferior to those of the Kunning Palace, and there are even some valuable utensils that are not even in the Kunning Palace.

Ever since Ye Qinghuai came to the throne, Yonghe Palace has been idle for more than two years.Therefore, before the big wedding, the inner court remodeled and refurbished the Yonghe Palace, and Ye Qinghuai specially rewarded some famous paintings for them to hang in the Yonghe Palace.

It was dusk when Ye Qinghuai arrived at the Yonghe Palace.

There are many people in the Yonghe Palace, many eunuchs and maids are arranging flowers and cleaning the rooms.Obviously, the imperial concubine who just moved into the palace yesterday needs some time to arrange her new courtyard.

Chen Yuansi's granddaughter is named Chen Julian, she is 21 years old, four years older than Ye Qinghuai.

As soon as Ye Qinghuai stepped into the gate of Yonghe Palace, she saw her.

She was wearing a lotus pink brocade dress, standing in the afterglow of the evening, with two simple jasper hairpins inserted into her bun with her long hair rolled up.She was very slender, and the thin wrist exposed by the cuff looked like it could be broken with a light grip.

Chen Julian's face is small and delicate, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are like autumn waters. Although she is not as bright as Gu Feiyan's appearance, she is very attractive, not as ugly as the folklore says.

She was in the courtyard directing the subordinates to tidy up the courtyard, when she heard Li Baoquan's loud announcement outside the palace gate, she hurriedly greeted the palace gate, and brought the maids and eunuchs of Yonghe Palace to salute Ye Qinghuai, saying: "Welcome Your Majesty , Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai helped her up with a smile, and said, "Get up quickly."

Chen Julian stood up, but did not dare to look up at Ye Qinghuai, but lowered her head and said: "I don't know that His Majesty is coming today, the palace is chaotic, and I am afraid that I will bump into the holy car."

Although she said so, her expression and tone were very calm, and she was not flustered or surprised.

It stands to reason that Ye Qinghuai just got married yesterday, and today she left the queen behind to come to her, she should be somewhat happy, but Ye Qinghuai couldn't see this kind of joy on her face.

Regarding Ye Qinghuai's sudden arrival, she responded calmly, with appropriate words, neither humble nor overbearing.

Ye Qinghuai admired her even more.

"It's because I didn't let anyone pass it on. It's so abrupt, the noble concubine doesn't have to blame herself."

After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, he looked around and said to Li Baoquan who was behind him: "Li Baoquan, send a few more people to the Yonghe Palace to tidy up this yard early."

"Yes, the servant will arrange it tomorrow morning." Li Baoquan replied.

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and said to Chen Ju: "It's almost time for dinner, I'll have dinner with you today."

Chen Julian bowed respectfully for a while, then turned around and whispered a few words to the maid next door.

As night fell, lights were lit inside and outside the Yonghe Palace.

"I heard from Chen Ge that the concubine's taste is light, so I asked the imperial dining room to arrange some light dishes." Ye Qinghuai looked at the table of dishes and said to Chen Ju.

Only Ye Qinghuai and Chen Julian were seated on the big round table, and a few palace maids stood beside them as attendants.

"Your Majesty is so thoughtful, it makes the courtiers and concubines panic. My mother is from Yingzhou, so her taste has been lighter since she was a child." Chen Julian replied, she took a spring roll for Ye Qinghuai, and said, "This three-white spring roll is not bad. , is a specialty of Yingzhou, Your Majesty, try it."

Ye Qinghuai immediately accepted her kindness, picked it up and said, "It's really good."

She put down her chopsticks after eating, and said kindly to Chen Julian: "If my concubine feels uncomfortable with something to eat in the palace, feel free to tell me, don't wrong yourself."

Chen Julian kept her eyes down, and when she heard Ye Qinghuai's words, she smiled slightly, and said: "With His Majesty's words, the ministers and concubines will have no grievances."

She was originally the appointed queen, but was cut off by the Gu family halfway, and finally married into the palace as a noble concubine.But even the wedding was overwhelmed by the empress' wedding, and she was sent into the palace almost silently.

It can be said that it is a great grievance.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Qinghuai felt somewhat guilty towards her.

She came to Yonghe Palace on the second day of her wedding for two reasons.

One was to appease the Chen family and make Chen Yuansi feel that his granddaughter was not treated badly when she married into the palace.

The second is to let Gu Feiyan shift her attention from her, the emperor, to Chen Julian.

But what Chen Julian said made her feel even more guilty.

The two finished their dinner in such a bland atmosphere without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say to His Majesty in private." Chen Julian still lowered her head, with no clue on her expression.

Ye Qinghuai told the court ladies: "You all go down."

The maids who were waiting on her back stepped back and closed the door behind her.

Only Ye Qinghuai and Chen Julian were left in the room.

Chen Ju got up and took out an exquisite wooden box from the dowry, held it with both hands very preciously, and held it in front of Ye Qinghuai.

"Your Majesty, please take this back."

Ye Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment, then took the wooden box.She opened it and saw a jade pendant on the soft satin inside the wooden box.

It was the one she gave to Chen Yuansi as a token of the queen when she was a guest in the Chen Mansion years ago.

Chen Julian still lowered his head, and said in a calm voice: "Grandfather said, this is the relic of Empress Dowager Jingmin, and it is a token of love that His Majesty wants to give to the Queen. I personally think that due to love and reason, I should not hold this things."
