The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 53: Concubine Shen

Jinfu Palace is located on the west side of the imperial garden. Outside the palace wall, there are laurel spouting fragrance and golden chrysanthemums in full bloom. Inside the palace wall are also vermilion columns and green tiles, and the houses are luxurious.

The entire Jinfu Palace is divided into a main palace and two side courtyards. The main palace is where she lives. The Jiayi courtyard in the north is temporarily vacant, while the Jialan courtyard in the west lives in an unexpected person—Shen eunuch.

"Aunt Jiaru, the former owner of this Jinfu Palace must be Concubine Shen, right?" Mu Lan asked the middle-aged maid beside her who was guiding her while familiarizing herself with the various places in the palace.

Speaking of which, this Aunt Jiaru was personally dispatched by Dongling Jue. She had served Dongling Jue for several years when she was young, and was later transferred to be the fifth-rank secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau. She was very familiar with both inside and outside the palace. of.On the day Dongling Jue decreed to confer Mulan, he appointed her as the aunt in charge of the palace, responsible for assisting Mulan in managing the Jinfu Palace. [

Mu Lan was quite puzzled by his arrangement.Ordinarily, assigning manpower is a matter of the empress's duty. If he personally appoints someone to come, isn't he afraid that his empress will be dissatisfied?Even if it is to monitor her, it seems that it doesn't have to be so obvious, right?

However, Aunt Jiaru was really capable, she had properly allocated all the people inside and outside Jinfu Palace early in the morning.After she came, I asked her to go through it in person.Although he is an old man in the palace, he is respectful and polite in front of her.

Listening to her question, Jiaru slowly replied: "Master's guess is right. Since Concubine Shen was promoted to Concubine Rong, she moved from the original Fusu Court to Jinfu Palace. Later, because she was demoted to concubine, she moved to Jinfu Palace. Arrived at the West Courtyard. However, at that time this place was still called Chunqi Palace, after the master was canonized, Your Majesty changed the name here to Jinfu Palace."

Mu Lan recalled that when she first entered the palace, it seemed that Concubine Shen was sick and sent someone to invite Dong Lingjue, but in the end, Dong Lingjue just sent an imperial doctor to take a look.

Suddenly, Tang Ling's promise to her absolutely came to mind, how many women in the palace did he say that he would take care of her for the rest of his life?And there are three thousand beauties in the harem, how many can he take care of?

Seeing her feeling a little sad suddenly, Jiaru said again: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have many concubines. In all these years, apart from the empress, there are only concubines Hua, Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong, and there are 12 concubines and nobles in total. .There is no precedent in this palace for a new palace to be opened when the lord of one palace is empty, so you don't have to worry too much, master."

Hearing that she actually meant to comfort herself, Mu Lan couldn't help laughing, "Auntie is worrying too much, this place is big and the environment is good, it's too late for me to be satisfied."

Anyway, she was only staying here temporarily, and Dong Ling was not afraid that this move would cool Concubine Shen's heart, so what else should she care about?However, since they will live in the first palace together, she is somewhat curious about Concubine Shen.

"Auntie, please accompany me to Jialan Courtyard for a walk."

"Master, is this going to see Concubine Shen?" Jia Ru was a little surprised, and then said: "I think it's inappropriate, master, you are the master of the first palace, according to the etiquette, she should come to greet you."

The most important thing in the palace is status, if you lower your posture, maybe others will overwhelm you.Of course Mu Lan knew this, but she wanted to suppress anyone, not to mention that she was not the one who could be easily oppressed.Just out of pure curiosity, what kind of woman is that concubine Shen who is said to have been favored by Dong Lingjue?

Thinking this way, he said, "It's been a long time since I moved in, and I haven't seen her show up. I heard that she is not in good health. Maybe it will be a little inconvenient. Let's go and have a look."

Thinking that Concubine Shen is indeed a bit arrogant, it's good to go and show off, Jiaru thought so, and said: "Then servants go and call Qingmei Qingxue and Xiaobaozi together?"

Qingmei Qingxue was Meng Yiqing's personal maid assigned to Mu Lan, and the little bun was the eunuch in charge assigned to her by Rong Zixuan.Speaking of which, she can be regarded as a strange thing in the harem, and the people serving around her are clearly the three factions of the emperor, queen and queen mother, so there is no need to worry about who will do small tricks.

And Aunt Jiaru specially asked them to be called, not just for the sake of ostentation, right?With them following along, if Concubine Shen has anything wrong, everyone can be a witness to each other.

It seemed that Aunt Jiaru was very thoughtful, so Mu Lan nodded and said, "Then let them follow."

The bamboo shadows in Jialan Courtyard are scattered, quite elegant and quiet, and the sound of zithers can be heard from a distance.After entering the courtyard, under the pear tree, a slender beauty dressed in red, holding a stringed piano in her arms, was playing a continuous tune intently.

Mu Lan's heart was shocked. This scene, at first glance, was inexplicably familiar again.However, she searched all the memories in her mind, but she couldn't remember where she had seen such a picture.

"My concubine Shen, the concubine De also said that you are not in good health, so she came to see you in person, why don't you come to see me?" Seeing that concubine Shen played the piano like a human being, Aunt Jiaru frowned. sound reminder. [

Concubine Shen's hands froze, as if she had just discovered everyone in the courtyard, she finally raised her head.

A pair of clear and bright eyes, coupled with a pretty face and red lips, and slightly thick eyebrows, is different from her weak figure, and she has a somewhat hot and beautiful feeling.

/>

Seeing Mulan, she first sized her up from top to bottom, and then sneered, "You are the princess of Xia Liangguo who is the king's favorite recently? What kind of beauty is it? This type."

When she said this, Mu Lan realized that, in terms of appearance alone, this concubine Shen and she really looked a little like her.

Aunt Jiaru scolded in displeasure: "Master Concubine Shen, how can you speak so presumptuously in front of Concubine De?"

Concubine Shen didn't take her reprimand at all, and sneered with disdain: "It's just a little princess from outside. When Xia Liangguo proposed marriage, Your Majesty was still very unhappy. Looking at it now, Is it because of your face? There is nothing to be proud of, maybe, after a year or two, your end may not be better than mine. "

Aunt Jiaru was about to have a fit, Mu Lan reached out her hand to stop her, and asked Concubine Shen, "According to you, Your Majesty favors me so much because I look like someone else?"

Concubine Shen stared at her nervously, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think? Let me tell you, Your Majesty likes women like you and me who are hot at first glance, and especially like to see women wearing red. If you can get a good piano, congratulations, maybe your grace will be longer."

Speaking of this, her smile turned cold, and her voice also turned cold instantly, "However, even if this is the case, it can only make you live a little better than other concubines. Your Majesty's heart has never been here. In the harem."

Love seeing women in red?Want a good piano?Mu Lan burst into laughter, and immediately thought of Mo Yan, the beautiful male national teacher of Xiliang Kingdom that she saw outside the palace gate.
