female concubine
Chapter 14 Keding Jue Family
——Boom! ——
"Ah Lang, lady, it's almost five o'clock, it's time to get up and worship."
By five o'clock, it was still dark outside the window, and there was a knock on the door.
The little six sons came in with the maid, and the room was lit up after lighting the lamps. The leading nunshi brought new clothes, but saw the two masters lying on the couch in the outer room, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, Xiao Youqing got up from the couch , pointing to the mirror stand in the inner room, "Retire after placing it."
"Yes, princess."
The mirror stand was tidy, and even the copper mirror was wiped spotless.
After everyone had retreated, Wei Huan got up from the quilt.
The person in the new robe stood behind Xiao Youqing, stunned for a while, "I thought that no one would sit in this position in the future, and I thought that I would not step into this room."
"The world is unpredictable, and who can know what will happen in the next invisible moment."
Wei Huan smirked, "Tomorrow's worries are for tomorrow, and I will temporarily solve today's difficulties." His voice gradually became weaker, and his smile gradually became dull.
After a while, Xiao Youqing saw the person in the bronze mirror staring at her for a long time, "My lord likes to watch women make up?"
The large and small delicate boxes and jars in front of the mirror, together with the woman's skillful technique, brought back her memories, "When I was a child, I looked at my mother every day in the palace, and she dressed up carefully every day, with every stroke. ...but it took a long time to come, Your Majesty."
Xiao Youqing took the brush and dipped it in rouge, and the white tip of the pen was quickly dyed blood red, and he only drew a stroke at the corner of his eyes, "A man dies for a confidant, and a woman looks for a man who pleases him."
"Is it okay for a woman to please herself...?" Wei Huan said with some hesitation.
"But concubine, this day should never happen. Now that I want to meet the emperor, I can't lose my dignity in front of the emperor."
After a long time, the King of Chu was silent, "I don't mean to blame the prince, I already thought so a long time ago."
Wei Huan still only looked at her silently, watched her put on her makeup one by one, then turned and called out: "Six!"
Hearing the call, Little Six pushed the door open and entered, standing behind the curtain outside, "Ah Lang, do you want to comb your hair and put on a crown?"
"Ah."
At the fifth correction, Li Weng ordered the guards to move a new table to the middle hall, and put it on the mirror stand and mirror.
Invite the newlyweds, "The bride pays homage!"
After Xiao Youqing bowed down to the central hall of the palace, Li Weng waved his hand, and several staff in charge of the palace stepped forward, each holding a stack of papers.
"Eldest lady, this is the treasury, the salaries, and the responsible persons in charge of instruments and utensils. Previously, the villain was in charge. Now the eldest lady is the mistress of the palace, and the gifts are in the hands of the lady."
Xiao Youqing flipped through one of the booklets, took a quick look, put it back and said: "Okay, let them come to me after I come back with the prince."
"Yes."
At five o'clock, the gate of the palace had already been opened, and the prince's wedding was suspended for three days. There was no owner in the middle palace, so the Funing Palace where only the emperor was there was gone.
"Your Majesty, please be safe."
"I'm safe."
"Xifu pays homage to the father-in-law." Xiao Youqing offered tea.
After receiving the tea transferred by Zhao Ci, the emperor said slowly: "The bride raises her head."
This was Xiao Youqing's first close contact with the emperor. The king of Chu was indeed somewhat similar to the emperor in terms of facial features, but the once high-spirited emperor could not withstand the passing of time. The other part of his beauty should be left behind by his biological mother.
Thinking of this, she has never met Concubine Li Gui, and she doesn't know if this mother-in-law is easy to talk to.
The emperor drank the tea from Princess Chu and said, "From now on, my sixth brother will be entrusted to you to take care of him. The middle class of the palace is not easy to handle."
"Xifu will serve the prince wholeheartedly."
The emperor smiled and said, "Xianrong raised a good daughter."
"It all depends on His Majesty's blessing."
The emperor called Xiao Youqing, and said to the king of Chu: "Okay, the imperial concubine is your biological mother, take the bride to pay her respects."
"Yes."
"Oh, by the way, I will stay here at noon today, and the family will have a meal."
"Yes."
The Kunning Hall is next to the Funing Hall, and you must pass by when you go to the Zhaohua Pavilion. Wei Huan introduced the inner palace to her, "This is the Central Palace. After the Queen's death, only Concubine Shu lives here."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone appeared, "Hey, isn't this Brother Six?"
"Miss Concubine Shu."
Concubine Shu's contemptuous gaze swept over King Chu, and then stopped on Xiao Youqing, "This is Princess Chu, right?" She looked at her with a bit of beauty, "It's just the person my unsatisfied son misses so much. Well!"
Harsh words came into his ears, Wei Huan stopped Xiao Youqing, took a step forward and said: "If I knew Zhao Wang liked it, Xiao Wang should refuse His Majesty and give it to Zhao Wang. After all, Xiao Wang also understands, I can't ask for it, and I want to be satisfied." pain of."
"you…"
"Xiao Wang still wants to go with his wife to greet the noble concubine, so I won't bother Concubine Shu." After the words closed, Wei Huan pulled Xiao Youqing and turned to leave.
Concubine Shu's complexion changed drastically, "The six kings have been to Shu for three years, could it be that they were led to ruin, and now they don't even understand the rules?"
"Who is making noise over there? I seem to hear Liu Lang's voice?"
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, it is Concubine Shu, Prince Chu and Princess Chu."
Hearing Concubine Shu, the Crown Princess frowned slightly, and handed the cloak in her hand to the servant next to her, "Go and deliver this to Your Highness."
"Yes."
Concubine Shu called out to the King of Chu, as if she wanted to be held accountable, so as to save face.
"I don't remember that there is a rule in the palace that the prince wants to greet the concubine. The Kunning Hall is next to the Funing Hall, so you are not afraid of disturbing the holy car?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
When the Crown Princess came, both King Chu and Concubine Shu needed to salute, and Concubine Shu had a frozen face, extremely reluctant.
"Liu Lang has been in Sichuan for three years, it's because we brothers and sisters-in-law have not fulfilled our responsibility to take care of him."
"Your Highness..."
The Crown Princess lightly raised her hand towards Wei Huan, and said to Concubine Shu: "What's wrong with him, I'll just apologize to Concubine Shu for him."
"Your Highness is a man of gold, how dare I." Concubine Shu faked a smile.
The Crown Princess then said to the King of Chu: "Didn't Your Majesty tell you to pay your respects to the noble concubine after the wedding? Why are you still here?"
"Yes, I retire."
----
After some distance from Kunning Palace, Xiao Youqing looked at her and said, "East Palace was originally opposed to King Zhao, but the prince offended her just like that?"
Wei Huan shook his head, and she walked in front first, "Although she is favored, she is not very smart. If she really enters the palace in the future, she won't be able to sit for long."
"You can see clearly."
"If you want to live in this kind of intrigue, if you don't keep your eyes bright, how can you do it!" Wei Huan turned around, "So, do you still want to go to this big house?"
Xiao Youqing stopped and stepped forward, "Go." She and Wei Huan looked at each other, and raised the doubts in her heart, "I wanted to ask you last night..."
"I have always been careful to hide myself, even if I am afraid of the dark, I dare not hold the lamp."
"My lord, why don't you break the night and march towards the dawn?"
"It's not that I haven't thought about retreating. If I were really me, maybe I would fight. You know, about me, it's just a little bit, which increases the danger."
"If you have enough ability and strength, then you can truly hide, so that those who know will never speak, and those who don't know will never know."
She didn't have the will to fight, "You said, you won't force me, right?" Wei Huan raised his head and stared at her.
The young man's eyes were extremely beautiful, not full of murderous aura like the emperor's, nor full of hostility like King Zhao's, but as clear as water, she nodded and asked again: "Your Highness the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Youqing had doubts and wanted to ask for clarification, but Wei Huan approached with a cold face, and the distance was only a punch, which was a reminder and a harsh word, "I know, even without me, your Xiao family will participate in party struggles, what do you want? I don't care about dealing with the crown prince, but if I hurt the crown princess, I will definitely not forgive, whether it is you or the Xiao family!"
Xiao Youqing looked at the originally clean eyes with ruthlessness, "Husband and wife are one body."
"You're wrong!" Wei Huan vetoed, "This king and you are neither!"
In the past ten years in the East Palace, there have been no rumors of a disagreement between the prince and the princess, "The prince said that he must protect his concubine well."
"But what this king is talking about is Princess Chu."
It's just Princess Chu of the Chu Palace, not Xiao Youqing of the Xiao family, "Concubine...understood."
Zhaohua Court
After the reports were delivered by the palace people, the servants and maids in the Zhaohua Pavilion came out one after another, because they knew that the sixth king would bring the princess to pay his respects today, and they all wanted to see the true face of the sixth princess.
Concubine Li was sitting in the main pavilion of Zhaohua Pavilion, Wei Huan led Xiao Youqing in, and the palace people had already prepared tea.
"mother."
"Xifu pays homage to her mother-in-law."
"Get up quickly." Li Guifei smiled and took the tea served by Xiao Youqing.
Sure enough, that bit of beauty was passed on to her mother, and Concubine Li Gui seemed to have not turned 40 in the past 31 years.
"You are my Liulang's bride?" Princess Kang Ning stepped down from her mother.
The two sisters look alike, but the princess has more gentleness in her eyes.
"This is my eldest sister, Princess Kangning."
"Meet the princess."
Princess Kang Ning stepped forward to help her up, "We are a family now, don't be so polite, the son-in-law came back yesterday and told me about you."
"Tell me?"
Princess Kang Ning nodded and said: "It is said that you have a dignified appearance, you must be a person of great fortune, I can see you today, and it is true."
"Princess Miao Zan, Youqing's fortune depends on the prince."
Xiao Youqing's words naturally suited Concubine Li Gui's heart, so she said, "Didn't Kang Ning keep saying that your younger brother would not go to see you at the son-in-law's mansion, and now he is here."
Knowing that there was something in his mother's words, "I will wait in the side pavilion with my elder sister first." Wei Huan and Princess Kang Ning bowed and retreated, and took all the palace people away.
"My sister is doing well these days."
"I've been in the mansion all the time, nothing else except that I'm bored. It's just you, you haven't come to see your concubine's mansion after so long. I'm a woman, and it's not easy to go out."
Wei Huan lowered his head in shame, "Liulang knew he was wrong, but now that Liulang has opened a mansion, and his brother-in-law holds an important position in the third office, he is afraid of causing unnecessary trouble."
"Isn't it the tongue of Taiwan's admonishment? You are the prince of the clan, he is the official of the court, but you are also my younger brother."
"Sister, don't worry, Liu Lang is married now, and there will be more opportunities in the future." In the inner houses of the gentry, it is common for women to walk around and entertain.
"Sister and sister?" Princess Kang Ning looked at Zhengge and asked.
"Except that I can't see through, everything else is pretty good, oh, and it's too formal!"
After King Chu and Princess Kangning left, only Concubine Li Gui and Xiao Youqing, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were left in the palace.
The air froze for a moment.
The author has something to say: changed a detail.
Youqing only calls herself a concubine in front of the heroine!
Song called his son Xizi, so what, originally he called his parents-in-law uncle, there is a courtesy of uncle, but the author felt a little awkward, so he changed it to father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was also called in ancient times.
The wedge of a chapter, except that the content of "Tokyo Miscellaneous Notes" may not be true, but the book of the emperor and empress is still correct.
As for emotions, I don’t know either, maybe it’s all there~
