Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 73

The next day, in Chengqian Palace

"The concubine greets the imperial concubine, the empress is auspicious."

Wang Miheng followed all the concubines to greet the imperial concubine. She has been in the palace for so long, and she has said such things hundreds of times, but she doesn't know if the imperial concubine sitting there is tired of hearing it.

"Get up, I'm not feeling well today, I'm a bit late, I hope my sisters don't take offense." Sitting on a soft couch, the imperial concubine was dressed in a bright yellow flag dress embroidered with large peonies, and her jet-black hair She combed a bun near the cloud, and on her head was a gold hairpin with ruby ​​wrapped in silk and inlaid with pearls.

However, the person who said this is the master of Chengqian Palace, so even if it is false, it can only be regarded as true.Otherwise, who do you think would question the imperial concubine's words recklessly.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial concubine's voice fell, someone below immediately expressed his worry.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? It's the rule for concubines to wait for Your Majesty. How dare you complain about your Majesty."

It was Mu Guiren and Xiang Concubine who said this, both of them were confidantes of the imperial concubine, but Xiang Concubine had only given birth to a daughter in these years, and Mu Guiren was even less capable. I heard that after entering the palace, Kangxi only I flipped through her sign twice, and never called again after that.

However, Mrs. Mu is very good at talking, and can put down her figure very well, so after a long time, she really figured out the mind of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine also valued her very much.

It is said that among the concubines in the harem, she is the one who goes to Chengqian Palace most times.For this reason, Concubine Xiang was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to do anything because of the embarrassment of the imperial concubine.

"That's right, the empress is in charge of all affairs in the harem, there are too many places to work hard, and the empress must take care of her own body."

No, just after Mu Guiren finished that sentence, Concubine Xiang frowned displeasedly and gave Mu Guiren a look, then hurriedly said some flattering words.

Seeing this scene, Wang Miheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, what's the matter, it's better to work hard on Kangxi if he has such leisure time.

After all, although the imperial concubine is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, it is also a fact that she is not favored.

Ever since she entered the palace, she had never heard of Kangxi turning over the sign of the imperial concubine, and even the rewards sent to Chengqian Palace were extremely rare.

To put it bluntly, what's the use of becoming No. 1 in front of the imperial concubine?At most, the cost of food and clothing is better.

But women in ancient times, especially those who were able to enter the palace to serve the emperor, who hadn't been well-clothed and well-fed since they were young, I'm afraid that such a small advantage may not be appreciated.

Therefore, Wang Miheng was speechless about the fight between Mu Guiren and Concubine Xiang.What is even more speechless is why the two of them chose a master like Huang Guifei.

Aren't Concubine Hui or Concubine De both better choices?
It has to be said that although she has been in the palace for more than a year, she still can't understand many things.

After listening to what Mu Guiren and Concubine Xiang said, the imperial concubine touched the gold inlaid jade armor on her fingers with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't stand still, let's all sit down."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone quickly thanked her and took their seats.

From entering the Chengqian Palace to the present, it has been half an hour to say the least, and the people didn't say anything, but they couldn't bear it physically.

Fortunately, Wang Miheng didn't come very early, otherwise counting the time waiting in the yard, I don't know how tiring it would be.

As soon as the concubines were seated, some court ladies served tea and snacks.

The tea is very common Longjing, so don't think that you can drink Longjing after the rain after entering Chengqian Palace.

Those are only for the imperial concubine to drink.

And these snacks on the table are just for show.The purpose of coming to Chengqian Palace is to pay respects to the imperial concubine. Although the imperial concubine is sympathetic, they must always remember their identities.

The imperial concubine picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then shifted her eyes to Yuguiren, and asked casually: "Yuguiren has been in the palace for a while, are you still used to living in this palace?"

As soon as the imperial concubine's words came out of her mouth, Concubine Hui frowned indistinctly. Yurong was her own niece, since she entered the palace, she naturally took care of everything.Now I'm asking what I'm used to or not. Could it be that as an aunt, I can't protect her well?
As soon as I heard it, I felt a big block in my heart.

Fortunately, over the years, Concubine Hui's temperament has long since become less irritable than when she first entered the palace. These words are not enough to make her angry.

A look of surprise flashed across Yu Guiren's face, apparently he did not expect that the imperial concubine would ask her like this.

She stood up and replied softly: "I'm sorry to bother you, the people in the House of Internal Affairs are very dedicated, there is nothing unaccustomed to concubines."

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became a little strange.

"This is what I said, the emperor values ​​sister Yu, so can the servants of the House of Internal Affairs not be dedicated?"

"That's right, I heard that the emperor told my sister to go to the imperial study yesterday, and even made a portrait for her. I don't know when we can see it?"

The sour words were mixed with envy and jealousy that could not be concealed, Wang Miheng looked at the noble man standing there, thinking that everyone should taste the taste of being envied?
Anyway, when Kangxi doted on her, she heard these words more than once.After hearing the end, the ears have immunity, no matter what they say, they can stay still.

I don't know, how would Yu Guiren feel when he heard this?

Probably, while embarrassing, there is extra joy in my heart.After all, this proved that Kangxi really doted on her.

At that time, while she was speechless, she still felt a little proud in her heart.

In any case, loving the illusory things only becomes more real when you see the envy and jealousy in the eyes of others.

No matter how you listen to it, being accompanied by the imperial study room is something worth showing off.

In particular, he also got a painting made by Kangxi himself, which fell into the eyes of everyone, so it was not just as simple as accompanying the driver.

After all, not everyone in this palace is lucky enough to get Kangxi's calligraphy.

Therefore, envy, jealousy and hatred are the most normal.

"Your Majesty is serious, the emperor just drew it just because he was interested." The corner of Yu Guiren's mouth curled up into a smile, as if he didn't hear the jealousy in it.

"It's not that I'm talking about my younger sister. My younger sister's words are really a bit dishonest. The emperor's interest is also due to my younger sister's presence. Otherwise, why didn't the emperor draw anyone, but why did my younger sister draw the only one?"

"That's right, if the emperor doesn't value my sister, how can I let my sister accompany you in the imperial study? None of us are so lucky? Maybe it's because my sister served me well at the beginning, so let the emperor keep it in my heart. However, things like serving ink We can't do it well, can we?"

To say this is to satirize the nobleman Yu by using the fact that the nobleman served Mo in front of the imperial court.

As soon as she said this, Yu Guiren's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

Imperial servant Mo, if there is something that Yugui doesn't want people to mention, these four words must be ranked first.

The concubines present here were already jealous. After hearing this, they saw the face of Yu Guiren suddenly changed. They suddenly felt very happy, and there was a hint of ridicule and ridicule in their eyes.

Yugui was almost ashamed and indignant at the joke-like looks of the crowd, her face turned red, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

This is the fact, no matter how much she justifies, she can't change the fact that she used to serve Mo in Qianqing Palace.

In particular, he also entered the side hall of Qianqing Palace and stayed with those unworthy court ladies.She couldn't explain this matter with ten mouths.

"Which one in this palace is not the emperor's servant, it is reasonable to serve the emperor." Concubine Hui's words were gentle, but everyone could tell that she meant to rescue the nobleman.

"The emperor treats you well. You must serve the emperor with all your heart. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivers the painting, show it to me. I haven't seen much of the emperor's calligraphy." Concubine Hui's eyes fell on Yu On the nobleman's body, there was a soft exhortation.

Concubine Hui's words were partly true and partly false, but they pierced the hearts of everyone present.

What could be more confident than being favored by the emperor?
Seriously speaking, Concubine De was just a humble maid of honor in a coat at the beginning. Isn't it all given by the emperor to have her current status?
After hearing Concubine Hui's words, everyone's heart was not in a good mood again.

"Yes." The nobleman replied obediently, and the two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Concubine Hui opened her mouth, so others naturally couldn't say anything more. Although Concubine Hui was not very favored, after all, she had a big brother by her side.Coupled with the preciousness of the mother's family, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of her.

This is something that the imperial concubine can't match.Although the imperial concubine's mother's family is even more prominent, she has not even given birth to a princess in the palace for many years, so the decency in the eyes of everyone is only temporary, not to mention that she is not as lucky as Queen Xiaoyiren was back then.

If the emperor really valued her a little bit, now Chengqian Palace wouldn't even have a child.

According to the status of imperial concubine, many elder brothers and princesses in this palace are raised under her name.But in fact, none of them.

Concubine De next to her cast her eyes on Wang Miheng, thinking of the news she sent someone to inquire about yesterday, her brows became more speculative.

Sitting there, Wang Miheng could feel that Concubine De was looking at her, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she sighed inwardly.

Why, being targeted by this dangerous woman again?
