The Job of an Imperial Concubine

After Zhu Chai was sent to the Queen's Palace, the Queen didn't say anything, but Xihe Palace received a lot of rewards from the Queen the next day.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the palace satin, pearls, jade and precious medicinal materials, with a smile on his face, the queen was really angry this time, no matter what the other party's position was, at least on this matter, the queen was not as angry Will be inferior to myself.

The queen's position is the same as her own, so many things will not be so troublesome.

"Your Majesty, the Cold Food Festival will be in a few days. I heard that there will be swings and swing dances on that day..." The meaning of Yun Xi's words was very clear, and she was really worried about Zhuang Luoyan.

In the folk, there are many activities during the Cold Food Festival, but for the women in the harem, they can neither go out for an outing, nor can they go to Cuju, and they are ashamed to abandon their image to get hooked, so the cold food swing is a good way for concubines to attract the attention of the emperor. Now that Zhuang Luoyan's wound has not healed, not to mention swinging, I'm afraid it would be good if he could survive kowtowing to the emperor's mausoleum and putting incense on his head.

"Appreciating the play of the half-immortal is also very interesting, why bother to stick to being that half-immortal?" Zhuang Luoyan took out a pipa that had been peeled and deboned from the plate and ate it. It’s also unique.”

Since the word "cold food" is included in the Cold Food Festival, it naturally means that we must avoid fire all day long. Zhuang Luoyan woke up in the morning with a few pieces of parfait, and drank a few sips of the fruit juice that the small kitchen had made long ago, feeling a little greasy. After rinsing his mouth with water, he sat in front of the mirror and dressed up.

Since she was injured, she has never been to the Queen's Palace again. Firstly, she lost a lot of blood this time, and secondly, her brain hurts when she didn't come, and her brain also hurts after she doesn't want to mess with those women.

Seeing Yun Xi neatly combing herself with a cross bun, Zhuang Luoyan yawned, resting her chin lazily with her hand, until she felt a cold touch on her forehead, then she suddenly opened her eyes, and then looked at the hair in the mirror. Seeing that there is a small Huasheng hanging on his forehead, a ruby ​​the size of a small fingernail in the middle happens to hang between his eyebrows, reflecting the fair skin, and there is an indescribable beauty.

Although her dress today is gorgeous but not gaudy, it suits her current status quite well, at least this is her appearance in front of people again since the last paper kite incident, too shabby or too gaudy is inappropriate.

"There must be many masters in the imperial garden today, and the masters who were reprimanded by the emperor before will definitely come too," Yun Xi inserted a gold hairpin with beads and silk in the middle of Zhuang Luo's bun, retracted her hand, and smiled Blessing the body, "I wish you the honor again."

Zhuang Luoyan picked out a jade bracelet and put it on, stood up and smiled slightly, "You have a sweet mouth."

As concubines, they are not qualified to offer incense and kowtow to the late emperors alone, but they are arranged according to their positions, and they will burn incense and kowtow together. After offering incense, it was time for the concubines to swing on the swing.

Walking in the imperial garden with Yunxi and Tingzhu, I saw many concubines sitting on the swings. They may be bold or reserved, but they all have fluttering clothes and smile more beautifully than the other.

Zhuang Luoyan sat on the side, watching all kinds of beauties flying in the air, it was quite pleasant.

"Higher, higher, too short!"

The crisp voice and hearty laughter made Zhuang Luoyan look over curiously. It was a woman in a pink skirt who was already swinging very high, but she still asked the servant pushing the swing to work harder. look familiar.

"Your Majesty, that's a talented person." Seeing Zhuang Luoyan's expression, Yun Xi said, "You met a while ago."

"I just said that she looks familiar." Zhuang Luoyan still looked at her, "She is quite courageous."

Yun Xi remained silent, but she didn't know what the empress meant by being bold.

Feng Jin and the queen went to the imperial garden to enjoy the swing, and saw the figure swinging high on the swing from a distance, "Who is that?"

Gao Dezhong, who was following behind him, looked up, "Go back to the emperor, that's a talented person from Taoyu Pavilion."

"Taoyu Pavilion?" Feng Jin's brows moved slightly, and he wanted to say something more, but when he turned his eyes, he saw a figure sitting alone in the corner. The Royal Garden was extremely lively today, even Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning were sitting on the swings and swinging lightly, but Zhuang Luoyan could only sit on the side and eat cold cakes or fruits that were not warm.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to have seen all the masters in the imperial garden, the eunuch behind Gao Dezhong sang loudly with interest: "The emperor is here." At this time, the concubines on the swing frame hurriedly got off the swing Salute, but the talented person who swings too high is a step slower than others, and is particularly conspicuous among all the people.

Who in the harem is not a human being, and Hua Cairen's scrambling posture is really not enough to watch.

Feng Jin looked at the terrified Hua Cairen who was kneeling in front of him like a little white rabbit, paused in his footsteps, and then... took a turn and carefully helped Zhuang Luoyan on the other side, "Why did my concubine come out, even though the sun is shining today , but there is also some wind, so be careful."

"Back to the emperor, my concubine has nothing to do. I have been staying in the house recently, and it is very boring. Today is cold food. If I still stay in the palace, I will soon become a fool." Zhuang Luoyan followed the emperor's movements and stood up straight. , snickered and glanced at the emperor.

"I don't think you've ever been smart." The queen patted her hand that was afraid of her before letting her go. "Your wounds haven't healed yet, so you can't play on the swing. It will be interesting to watch when someone performs the swing dance."

"The concubine must take a good look at it later," Zhuang Luoyan smiled and glanced at the talented person next to him, and then followed the empress to a flower platform. On the flower platform was a swing stand, and tables and chairs were placed around the platform Melon and fruit snacks.

After finding a suitable place to sit down, the person sitting above her was still Xu Zhaorong, but when I saw Xu Zhaorong again, I found that she seemed to be a little haggard. It seems that Xu Zhaorong was ill is not a rumor.

Seeing that Zhuang Luoyan was looking at him, Xu Zhaorong looked back blankly, then coldly withdrew his gaze.

"Sister Xu Zhaorong's complexion is not very good. It rained a little in the past two nights, but did she catch a cold?" Zhuang Luoyan asked with a smile.

"Zhao Xianrong is worrying too much, I am very well," Xu Zhaorong looked at Zhuang Luoyan with a smile on his face, "You have hurt your brain, you should take good care of it."

I was used to Xu Zhaorong's weakness and talent, but suddenly this one became normal, Zhuang Luoyan was still a little uncomfortable. But what made this man suddenly change from elegant and sad to such a look?

At this time, the performance of the swing dance began. A woman in a red dress with a flying bun came onto the flower platform, saluted everyone, and then got on the swing.

As the swing frame gradually rose, the woman in red began to dance on the swing frame, her gestures were graceful, and it was not at all obvious that she was doing these dangerous movements on the swing frame.

Zhuang Luoyan watched the dance in surprise, and when the tall woman on the swing came upside down with a golden hook, and the woman turned upside down quickly after falling down the swing, Zhuang Luoyan almost exclaimed.

"ah!"

She didn't make a sound, but someone did, and the one who made the sound was the innocent Hua Cairen. Seemingly noticing his gaffe, this talented person blushed.

"嗤" I didn't know how to laugh, although the sound was not loud, it was enough for everyone to hear.

How can there be any innocent and naive people in the harem, Huacairen's trick is really nothing. Zhuang Luoyan's eyes fell on the dancer again, and she didn't say until the end of the dance, "It's so beautiful and dangerous at the same time, it made me break out in a cold sweat."

"I have already guessed that you like to watch this performance, and now you really are." The queen is not very curious about this dance. There are many dancers in the palace who perform amazing dances every year. Over the years, there are not many of them. Something can surprise her.

"It's the concubine who made the empress laugh." Zhuang Luoyan coughed uncomfortably, "Even the empress can see that the concubine likes the swing dance, so the concubine will give everyone a good prize."

"Zhao Xianrong is generous." Xu Zhaorong looked coldly at Zhuang Luoyan's closeness with the queen, "It's just that you didn't know when you entered the palace, this swing dance is not so rare."

"Niangniang enters the palace more than concubines, so naturally she sees more." Zhuang Luoyan looked at Xu Zhaorong with a smile, "Concubines enter the palace late, so it is unavoidably strange."

Xu Zhaorong hadn't finished the rest of the sentence, Feng Jin, who was sitting at the top, said, "Since Zhao Xianrong has given the lottery, I will also add some rewards!" Seeing this, the Queen followed suit and went down with the rewards.

Xu Zhaorong's face turned pale immediately, the emperor's behavior was to protect Zhuang Luoyan.

"My concubine thinks this swing dance is so thrilling, it's really scary to look at." Hua Cairen timidly glanced up, then quickly looked away, "I'm really worried that this dancer will fall off."

Yan Cairen, who was sitting next to her, glanced at her, and silently looked at the pastry in front of her.

What a kind, innocent and kind flower talent.

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Hua Cairen indifferently, "In his position, seek a job. Although Hua Cairen is timid, he thinks too much." Who is this white lotus looking for?

When Feng Jin heard Zhuang Luoyan's words, he looked at Hua Cairen, paused and said: "Which palace is this little concubine, there are really no rules, she has a place to intervene here?"

"Your Majesty, this is a talented young man who has just entered the palace. You have to deal with so many things every day, so you must not remember clearly." The queen said with a smile.

"No wonder it's so unruly, Zhao Xianrong dares to talk back." Feng Jin didn't even look at the pale-faced Hua Cairen, "Remove her tooth card, I won't need her to serve in the future."

Thus, Hua Cairen became a joke in the harem again, and Zhuang Luoyan was happy that such a Xibei who imitated herself was thrown into the cold palace.

Then, it was time for her to liquidate certain people.
