Forgotten Envy of the Quiet Royal Concubine

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lan Wangji was going to go to court on the first day of the new year, so he got up early as usual.This was the case in the previous dynasty, and the meeting in the harem also started on this day.

The concubines of the royal families brought their princesses and concubines into the palace to meet Wei Ying. According to the rules, only noble concubines, imperial concubines, and empresses are eligible to accept the visit of their clansmen. The virtuous king's protests were suppressed, they should be aware of current affairs.

Wei Ying was dumbfounded when he heard the maid on duty say that the concubine of the royal family wanted to see her, and it would be troublesome to see her or not.Just when he was worrying, Lan Wangji sent Jin Guangyao over and said, "Princess Wei, Master Wei is still washing up, please go to Xuanshi Hall to wait! Master Wei is there to see you. Come, here you go!" Princess leads the way."

After all the people waiting outside the quiet room had gone to Xuanshi Hall, Jin Guangyao hurried into the quiet room, and saw Wei Ying already washed and washed, half leaning on the couch, eating pastries.

"Master Wei, please move to the Xuanshi Palace. Your Majesty ordered the slaves to bring a lot of things for rewards."

Wei Ying put down the pastry in his hand, took a few sips of the tea handed over by the court lady, and said with an ugly face: "Boss Jin, don't bother, just reward your Majesty's things directly."

Jin Guangyao said: "Nine gates of the palace, these concubines have the right to enter and leave the five gates of the harem at will with tokens, and they all came with the clan princes, His Majesty didn't know beforehand, that's why he didn't warn Master Wei in advance. "

"The Hall of Proclamation is the hall of discussion in the harem. Empresses, imperial concubines, and noble concubines who have the power to manage the harem are eligible to go there. Director Jin invited those people to the Hall of Proclamation. Wouldn't it be a shame to say that again? "Wei Ying was so angry that he wanted to smash the teacup in his hand.

But Jin Guangyao suddenly said: "Oh, look at this slave's memory, today is the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor said that Master Wei would go to the city tower with him to have fun with the people today, so he specially prepared clothes for Master Wei to wear today, and the slaves are very happy." I forgot, please forgive me, Master Wei, and I will immediately ask someone to bring the clothes." After speaking, he quickly said to the people behind him: "Hurry up and go to your majesty's bedroom, and bring the clothes that your majesty prepared for Master Wei."

As soon as Jin Guangyao finished speaking, someone answered from outside: "Director Jin, Your Majesty ordered your servant to bring clothes to Master Wei."

Jin Guangyao looked at Wei Ying and smiled, pretending to be relieved, and said, "What a coincidence, come in quickly."

The visitor held the tray with both hands, covered it with a brocade handkerchief, knelt down and said, "I have seen Master Wei, Your Majesty said that the tower is very windy today, so you must wear this robe."

Seeing that Wei Ying was trembling with anger, Jin Guangyao quickly said to the maids standing beside Wei Ying, "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly change Master Wei's clothes."

Frightened, several court ladies quickly knelt down and said, "Master Wei, please change your clothes."

Seeing them trembling with fright, Wei Ying held back his anger and went to the back to change his clothes, and came out in a while, without even looking at Jin Guangyao, he turned and went out.

Jin Guangyao watched Wei Ying striding forward from behind, and murmured, "No wonder Your Majesty always laughs and says that Master Wei has a bad temper, really..." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly followed.

Because of the anger in his heart, Wei Ying's face was a little stern, which made his face as cold as ice and as beautiful as peaches and plums. He strode like stars while walking, and the hem of his clothes flew with his steps, and the faintly visible cirrus patterns jumped into the eyes of the standing princesses.

Curly cloud pattern... This is not something that ordinary concubines can wear!

Because Wei Ying is a Concubine Ping, and has not reached the rank of Concubine or above, the concubines just bowed to him and sat down one by one.The leader is the concubine of Emperor Xian Wang, who is a little older and amiable. She looked at Wei Ying with a smile and said, "This is the first time I see you today. I'm old enough to sell my old age. How about calling me 'A Ying'? Baby, call me aunt! Your uncle told me that you called him uncle, but I envied you. I have heard that Aying is a beautiful child, and my aunt is not so lucky. monkey."

Jin Guangyao bowed to Wei Ying and said, "Master Wei, this is Princess Xian Wangfei."

Wei Ying looked at Princess Xian's kind look, and then listened to her words, his anger dissipated completely.Jin Guangyao lowered his eyes halfway, and sighed in his heart, she is still the wisest concubine Xianwang.

Wei Ying looked at the other concubines, princesses, and concubines next to him, and then said to Princess Xian: "Where is your aunt, Wei Ying dare not be her."

Concubine Xian took a closer look at Wei Ying's appearance and said, "You are such a good-looking child! No wonder the sage hid you like a jewel, and my aunt also liked it when she saw her. Why don't Aying go to aunt's house for a few days? "

Jin GuangYao couldn't listen anymore, coughed dryly, and said: "Princess Xian, you have pity on this servant! You are going to abduct Master Wei, and the heads of this servant are not enough for His Majesty to chop off."

Concubine Xian glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Boss Jin, are you singing again? What's the name of this song today? You grew up with the emperor, maybe Xichen is not as close as you and the emperor, the emperor will Want your head? Are you fooling me when I'm old?"

Jin Guangyao picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corner of his left eye, and then the corner of his right eye, with an aggrieved expression on his face, he said, "Drunk and hit the golden branch."

After hearing this, Princess Xian also understood that Jin Guangyao was reminding her, so she sat back on her seat angrily, took a big sip of tea, and then said to Wei Ying with a smile: "A Ying, I am looking at what is going on in the palace. There are, but there are no small animals, I will send you some small rabbits later, to relieve your boredom."

Jin Guangyao said: "Ms. Xianwangfei, the princess will cry." The little princess of Xianwang's family is very fond of rabbits, especially the little white rabbits. She has raised almost a mountain!By the way, why didn't I see the little princess today?

Concubine Xian glared at him angrily, and said: "I'll pick a few, she won't be able to tell if there are so many."

The other princesses tacitly kept silent, watching Princess Xian chatting with Jin Guangyao until almost noon, when Wei Ying asked Jin Guangyao to reward Lan Wangji with the things Lan Wangji sent over, and the princesses left.It just so happened that Lan Wangji sent someone to call Wei Ying to have dinner together in the Imperial Study, so Wei Ying and Jin Guangyao went to the Imperial Study together.

On the first day of today, Lan Wangji didn't have much to do. After lunch, the two of them went to Lan Wangji's bedroom to take a nap for an hour. Wangji was in a good mood and slept soundly.

In the evening, after Lan Wangji and Wei Ying finished their dinner, twilight fell. Lan Wangji saw Wei Ying's occasional irritability and didn't point it out. He just told him some precautions.When he dragged Wei Ying up to the imperial palace, he pretended to be casual and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

After hearing this, Wei Ying paused before sitting down, and said, "I'm a little nervous."

Lan Wangji said: "If a person in a superior position doesn't show their emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, it's too easy for others to see through them, and they tend to be passive."

Wei Ying looked at the man in blue and white, with a hair crown on his head, a sword in his right hand, and a white gown that stretched the floor. At the skirt of the gown was a blue bead chain with pure blue gemstones strung on it. Glittering against the background. , a white inner jacket, a blue middle jacket, the middle skirt is full of exquisite curly cloud patterns, the waist is a belt of the same color and fabric as the outer robe, and there is a jade pendant hanging down. the sound of.

He gave people a dignified and elegant feeling, if it wasn't for his imposing manner, he would have thought he was some scholarly son, and he couldn't tell what mood he was in right now.

No wonder he was able to suppress a group of important officials in the court, at least there have been no major political disturbances so far.From the inner palace to the palace gate and city wall, Wei Ying walked through it in his wildest thoughts, until Lan Wangji's face magnified in front of his eyes, then he came back to his senses and looked at him suspiciously.

"What are you thinking about? We're here, get out of the car." After speaking, Lan Wangji got off the Huangpu first, and waited for Wei Ying to get down before walking towards the stone steps of the city wall. Wei Ying looked at the people in front, every step he took My heart panicked, and it was as if a golden hammer was tied to my feet. Every step I took felt very difficult.

Lan Wangji took a few steps and saw Wei Ying lagging behind, so he stopped and waited.Seeing this, Jin Guangyao said, "Master Wei, His Majesty is waiting for you!"

Wei Ying raised his head, saw Lan Wangji looking at him with serious eyes three steps away from him, felt a thump in his heart, quickly quickened his pace, and followed.

When Wei Ying and Lan Wangji stood on the city wall, they saw that the imperial street outside the palace gate was covered with lanterns, all kinds of lanterns were lit up, and the imperial street was brightly illuminated.

"His Majesty is here!"

"Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Lan Wangji raised his hand, and said loudly, "I, enjoy the fun with the people today. May the people of my country have a good harvest. May my country and our country prosper."

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

Wei Ying stared blankly at the crowd below, separated by a wall, separated by a door, they lived freely, while he...

"Wei Ying?"

Lan Wangji followed his line of sight to look over, there was nothing special about it, it was just a few lanterns made uniquely.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?" Lan Wangji took his hand, told all the ministers to stay on the tower, and took Wei Ying, and walked out through the side door at the corner below the city wall.

Until the back palace door was closed, Wei Ying was still watching in a daze, did he just come out like this?

Lan Wangji took his hand and said, "Let's go! Aren't you going to see the lantern?"

Wei Ying couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and said, "Just, just the two of us? Aren't you afraid of assassins?"

Lan Wangji shook the sword in his hand, and pulled him away for less than a stick of incense. Perhaps after leaving the palace gate, Wei Ying suddenly felt relieved, and jumped up and down in a childish manner. All kinds of lantern riddles hanging on the street will reach out and pat them lightly.Lan Wangji walked behind, watching him happy, eyes full of doting.

Just now, Wei Ying was looking in this direction, right?Lan Wangji stopped at a lantern with a picture of a rabbit hanging on it, took a closer look, and there was nothing special about this lantern.

Wei Ying, who was walking in front, turned around and saw Lan Wangji staring at the lantern. He hurriedly ran over, looked at Lan Wangji, then at the little rabbit on the lantern, and said with a smile: "So Your Majesty likes rabbits just like that princess?" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lan Wangji stared at his happy smile, and said softly, "Don't you like it?"

Wei Ying smiled and said, "I like it!"

Lan Wangji stared at him and said, "Then I'll buy it and give it to you."

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly said, "You two want this lantern? I'll get it for you right away. I wish you a happy New Year!" Lan Wangji was not dressed very formally, and the city wall was dark, so the boss couldn't bear the sight in front of him. It is today.

After hearing this, Lan Wangji took out a piece of silver, and said, "Just treat the boss for a cup of tea, and you don't need to look for it."

The boss said: "Then thank you two young masters."

As soon as Lan Wangji took the lantern, someone threw a few handfuls of copper coins and shouted, "I picked up the money." The people on the street immediately flocked to him, pushing Wei Ying far away in an instant.

"Ah... Majesty..."

Lan Wangji panicked, dropped the lantern in his hand, and shouted, "Wei Ying!" But there was only a crowd of people in front of him, and there was no sign of Wei Ying...
