The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Greetings are a must-have itinerary for concubines in the harem. Zhuang Luoyan even thought that the only sense of accomplishment as a queen is to see the emperor's concubine get up from the bed to greet him regardless of the cold or heat.

Seeing Concubine Xian and Zhuang Luoyan walking in together, the Queen's smile became more gentle. After Zhuang Luoyan saluted her, she hurriedly gave her a seat and said with concern: "Zhao Xianrong's body I'm not feeling well, why did you come here so early?"

"Going back to empress, concubines used to be like this, but it's just that the concubine cherishes the body of concubines. Just now, I met Concubine Xian Gui and Xu Zhaorong on the road, so it can be seen that concubines came too early." Zhuang Luoyan looked at all the concubines with a smile. All eyes.

The queen nodded, "Concubine Xian always comes early." In the past, Concubine Xian was always the first one to arrive, but now she is with Zhuang Luoyan and others. The queen's words have other meanings.

The smile on Concubine Xian's face became a little stiff when she heard these words, and she said immediately: "Early this morning, the Eldest Prince had a dispute with the Second Prince, and the concubine is later than usual."

"It's really not easy for you to take care of the two princes." The queen glanced at Hu Liangyi in the corner, "The two princes are still young, so please be patient."

"I would like to follow my mother's order, and my concubine thinks the same way. When the child grows up, I should know what my concubine wants." Concubine Xian Gui smiled and said, "At least the second prince can understand the way of good and evil. .”

Concubine Xian said this casually, as if there was no other meaning, but Hu Liangyi in the corner looked up at her, while the people around her looked at her mockingly. He lowered his head expressionlessly, but his knuckles turned white from clenching too tightly.

The most indispensable thing in the harem is to add insult to injury, which is why Zhuang Luoyan didn't bother Hu Caixuan anymore, because without her doing it, many people would rush to step on her, and she can still leave two points of kindness in front of the emperor. image of.

"Human nature is kind, and the second prince is intelligent by nature. I think he won't let Concubine Xian give up too much thought," Concubine Shu said indifferently, "Concubine Xian wants to raise two princes, so it's better not to worry too much. If we women work too hard, It's getting haggard."

"I'm not as naturally beautiful as my younger sister and Mrs. Qiangui, even if I don't worry about it, I can't do it." After Concubine Xiangui finished speaking, she deliberately looked up and down Mrs. Qiangui, "This appearance can be regarded as the sixth palace of beauty. "

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high, concubines are just the quality of willows, how dare you compare them with Concubine Shu." Qiangui stood up, with a respectful expression, and said in a flat tone: "Concubine Shu's appearance is not as good as concubines."

"Your Majesty Qian is too modest. You and Concubine Shu have their own merits, which is very good." The queen said with a light smile, "Isn't the harem just needing a hundred flowers to bloom? I think this is very good."

Concubine Shu glanced at the queen with a smile that was not a smile, nodded and said: "The queen's words are polite, and the concubine also thinks that Qiangui is a rare beauty."

Zhuang Luoyan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide the yawn she almost yawned. At this moment, although the Empress and Concubine Xian began to have a rift, their stance towards Concubine Shu was the same, it was a pity that Qiangui was a raft for the struggle between the two sides.

"A hundred flowers bloom, everyone has their own interests," the queen suddenly looked at Zhuang Luoyan, "Does Zhao Xianrong think this is the reason?"

Zhuang Luoyan put down her teacup, and her eyes fell on the queen's chin: "I think that every flower blooms in its own way, and my concubine is not a person who understands flowers. Everything looks beautiful." She is neither an emperor nor a man. No matter how much, she can't do anything.

"Zhao Xianrong's words are also reasonable. As long as the women in our harem serve the emperor and let him have a relaxing place, it will be a great kindness." The queen did not insist on involving Zhuang Luoyan in this topic, and once again Talk to the other concubines.

After asking the queen, all the concubines retreated together. Concubine Rou looked at Xu Zhaorong who was walking not far from her, "Is Xu Zhaorong's illness better?"

"The concubine is fine, thank you for your concern." Xu Zhaorong bowed to Concubine Rou, not sure if it was because of her illness, but her demeanor did not have the ethereal feeling of the past.

"Think about everything, take good care of your body, don't be in a hurry for other things," Concubine Rou glanced at Qiangui who was behind her, "Don't get angry because of trivial things. "

"My concubine doesn't understand what your empress said. My concubine just caught a cold a few days ago." Xu Zhaorong's face remained unchanged, and he replied unhurriedly, "I am still under punishment, so I will retire first."

Concubine Rou's face turned cold, she watched Xu Zhaorong leave in a hurry, is this reminding her of what happened not long ago? But even so, so what, I am not as unlucky as her.

Glancing at Qiangui who looked like a wooden stake standing aside, Concubine Rou gave a cold snort and left in a chariot.

"It's just a joke, so it's not worth mentioning in front of me." Concubine Shu came out holding Lingsha's hand, and said to Lingsha with a smile on her face, "There will be such people in the future, just don't worry about it." If she doesn't exist, then why waste those minds."

"Your Majesty taught me the lesson, and this servant has written it down." Lingsha said with a low eyebrow, "It's just that this person always likes to hang around in front of this servant, so this servant mentioned this in front of your mother."

"You are always so soft-hearted, if it's a cat or a dog, you will take care of it?"

Zhuang Luoyan watched Concubine Shu leaving Jingyang Palace after saying these words to her close maid, and walked out holding Yun Xi's hand with a smile on her face. I saluted.

"You don't have to be polite," Zhuang Luoyan stretched out her hand to give her a little support.

"Etiquette cannot be broken," Qiangui raised her head to look at Zhuang Luoyan, then lowered her head respectfully, "The empress is kind, but concubines can't forget the rules because of this."

Zhuang Luoyan smiled, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Concubine Jiang behind her.

"Your Majesty's complexion has improved a lot recently," Jiang Guifei went forward to salute Zhuang Luorou, "I heard that the magnolias and peonies in the Imperial Garden are blooming in full bloom, Your Majesty is interested in it in the future, you can go and have a look. "

"Just now when I passed by the Imperial Garden, I saw magnolias blooming," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "It's time to take a good look."

Mrs. Qiangui blessed Concubine Jiang Gui, "Magnolia flowers are not only beautiful, but also have a special flavor when made into soup."

"If that's the case, I really want to try it." Zhuang Luoyan supported Yun Xi's hand and walked out, Jiang Guibi and Qianguiren followed behind her.

"No matter how beautiful this flower is, it will be extremely ugly if it is put in boiling water and cooked with fire," Jiang Guipin glanced at Qianguiren. Qianguiren is wearing a light blue and red skirt with wide sleeves today. Gorgeous, but it is perfect to wear on her body, it is indeed a stunner that attracts people's attention. Fortunately, the emperor is not a sensual emperor, otherwise his beauty would overwhelm all the women in the harem.

Thinking of this, Jiang Guifei couldn't help but look at Zhuang Luoyan who was walking in front. She was not the most beautiful in the harem in terms of beauty and beauty, but she became more and more favored after going through so many things. It can be seen that God also sympathized with this friendship. However, it also shows that Kong Wanyi's words are very reasonable. Among the people in the harem, relying on Zhuang Luoyan may be able to avenge their past.

Zhuang Luoyan didn't know what Jiang Guibi was thinking, these days, Jiang Guibi had been very close to her, even when the paper kite incident happened and she was ignored by the emperor, she sent a court lady to Xihe Palace to greet her.

This kind of place is not as good as it is without a reason. Jiang Guifei's attitude towards her must not be because he helped Wang Concubine call the imperial physician once. But since the other party didn't make it clear, of course she was happy to play dumb.

Not far from the Jingyang Palace, a group of people saw two eunuchs hurrying over and kneeling in front of them.

"I pay my respects to Mrs. Zhao Xianrong, I have seen Concubine Jiang Xian and Mrs. Qian."

"Don't be too polite," Zhuang Luoyan saw that the two seemed to be eunuchs from Qianzheng Palace, so she asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Back to your majesty, the emperor said that your majesty likes to watch the swing dance, so he summoned the dancer to Qianzheng Palace, and waited for you to accompany the emperor to enjoy the dance after lunch." The little eunuch said flatteringly, "The emperor also said that if the majesty If you are not feeling well, you don’t need to go, just wait until you recover and let the dancer arrange a more exciting dance for you to enjoy.”

"How can you live up to the emperor's good intentions? Go report to the emperor, and I will go after lunch." Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile, "Let the emperor worry about it."

Qiangui looked at the two eunuchs kneeling in front of Zhuang Luoyan with a complicated expression, and when Jiang Guipin looked at her, she had no time to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Concubine Jiang Gui gave Qiangui a mocking look, earlier she had heard that Qiangui was not that willing to enter the palace, now that the emperor stayed with her for a few nights, it was different from the past, it was really funny. I thought he was such a special person, but now, how is he different from other concubines?

It's so simple to fall in love with the emperor so easily, but fail to grasp the emperor's thoughts, and to show disappointment in front of the beloved concubine like this, it's really innocent. Or maybe this lonely look was originally for the eunuchs in front of the emperor?

Zhuang Luoyan also saw the jealousy and envy in Qiangui's eyes, and was a little surprised at the moment. How long has it been since this Qiangui has secretly promised the emperor?

For a moment, she was a little skeptical, did she think too complicated about this noble man?
