The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Jin Liangyi was demoted by the emperor to the last class of changing clothes. In the eyes of the women in the harem, it was actually a trivial matter. Although Jin Liangyi had some means to climb from a humble background to the position of Liangyi, the glory in the harem was given by the emperor. , if the emperor wants to take it back, it's just a sentence.

"Niang Niang, that Jin Liangyi..." Shi Wu glanced at the gorgeous palace satin on her master, and carefully looked around, obviously not wanting to be noticed.

"The emperor's child is gone, and I feel sad. Jin Liangyi was relegated to dressing, what's so strange?" Concubine Rou supported Shi Wu's hand, took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her mouth, "I heard that Jin Liangyi's brother is a servant. He committed a murder, killed someone, and even clamored that his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine." Speaking of this, Concubine Rou showed a mocking smile, "It's just a fifth-rank slave who climbed up from a court lady, no wonder even her mother's family is so low on the stage."

Shi Wu suddenly realized that this was the case. She said that although Jin Liangyi was not the most favored, the emperor had visited her several times in recent months. Why did he pick Jin Liangyi out of all the concubines? Yilai had an attack.

Concubine Rou showed a clear expression when she saw Shi Wu, and frowned a little impatiently, "You should also put your mind to be smarter on weekdays, don't ask me to remind you of everything."

"Yes," Shi Wu lowered her head, and there was a sneer in the eyes of the flicking sleeves standing on the other side of Concubine Rou, but she turned her head to serve Concubine Rou carefully, as if she didn't hear Concubine Rou's words, and she didn't see Shi Wu's embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, do you see that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Yuan are walking in front?" Fu Xiu noticed the group of people ahead, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Yuan's complexion doesn't seem very good."

Concubine Rou paused, took a few careful glances, raised her eyebrows and said, "This Concubine Yuan has not been favored very much in the past two years, why is she not getting along with Concubine Zhao now?" She doesn't like Concubine Zhao, but she doesn't see her either. I like Concubine Yuan so much. When she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, Concubine Yuan did not feel sorry for her. When the two confronted each other, she was happy to watch the excitement.

"Your Majesty, my servant has heard some news," Shi Wu said in a timely manner, "My servant once heard from other servants that the relationship between the Lin family and the Zhuang family is not harmonious in the court, presumably because of this relationship. "

Concubine Rou moved her hand in front of Shi Wu with a smile that was not a smile, she supported her and said, "So that's it, it looks like we're about to watch another good show."

Zhuang Luoyan felt that she was very innocent. If she came out of Ye Shurong's place and walked honestly, she would encounter difficulties from others, and this master would not follow Concubine Rou's routine of hiding needles in the cotton, but would directly hit her.

He has no memory of the original owner of Concubine Yuan's body, and Zhuang Luoyan doesn't know much about this person. At most, he only knows that this is an old man who served by his side when he was the emperor or the prince. Although he is nearly thirty years old, his appearance is still outstanding. It's a pity that a new generation replaces an old one, such a beauty can only be buried in the deep palace.

"I have long heard that Concubine Zhao of Taoyu Pavilion is arrogant and rude because she is favored by the emperor. I thought it was a servant who was talking nonsense, but after seeing it today, it is really true that seeing is worse than hearing a hundred times. It is really an unruly thing." Concubine Yuan's eyebrows were raised, with a sharp smell, she stretched out her right index finger to pinch Zhuang Luorou's chin, and knocked on the woman kneeling in front of her condescendingly. She was young and beautiful, and her skin was moist and shiny. How could she look like herself? With the passing of such years, the emperor's favor is no longer?

One of her subordinates tapped on the red mark on her chin, Concubine Yuan slowly withdrew her hand, wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief, and said: "Looking at this beauty, it's not considered a reservation, where is the capital to be arrogant in the harem?" ?”

Zhuang Luoyan lowered her head and groaned inwardly. Although this Concubine Yuan is not favored, but her qualifications are here, even if this little concubine of hers has a bad luck in her hands, no one will say no. The only one who can save her is the scumbag emperor or the high-ranking concubines who are not compatible with the concubine Yuan, but thinking of the beauties in the harem and the emperor's attitude towards the concubines in the harem, she rubbed her chin, she has no life as a romantic heroine , It is better not to get the disease of the romantic heroine, and it is the most reasonable way to think of a way to get out.

"The concubine Yuan is a good example, concubines really don't dare to do this," Zhuang Luoyan sighed inwardly, this concubine Yuan obviously wanted to deal with her, there was no other reason, this harem is really a complicated circle of relationships.

"I've met Sister Yuanfei, what are you doing?" Concubine Rou came with a guard of honor, she smiled gently and looked at Zhuang Luoyan who was kneeling on the ground, "Isn't this Sister Zhaopin? Recently, my younger sister Zhaopin is serving the emperor, and I am afraid that she will be busy for a while in the future, how did she offend my elder sister?"

Concubine Yuan glanced at Concubine Rou lightly, and forced a smile: "Sister Concubine Rou is working hard to serve the emperor?"

Concubine Rou approached, and every step she took was magnificent, "Serving the emperor is a blessing for the sisters, how can it be said that it is hard work or not, when my sister served the emperor in the past, can it be said that it was hard work?"

When Concubine Yuan heard this, she couldn't even hold back the smile on her face. She glanced at Concubine Rou coldly, then turned her gaze away to Zhuang Luoyan, and after a while she slowly said: "Since Concubine Rou is here today. Now, this palace will forgive you the crime of rudeness, if there is another time, this palace will not forgive you lightly."

After Concubine Rou smiled and watched Concubine Yuan leave, she looked at the person still kneeling on the ground with a smile, and her voice was extremely gentle: "Remember, this Palace can make you stand up today, and you can kneel down tomorrow. In this harem Here, there are too many people who can crush you to death."

After finishing speaking, she smiled and supported the maid's hand to leave, and the guard of honor representing the concubine walked past Zhuang Luoyan, as if mocking and ignoring.

When the group of people left, Zhuang Luoyan got up from the ground, patted the dust on his knees, and there was no trace of loneliness on his face, "Ting Zhu, Yun Xi squeeze it for me when I go back, it's really uncomfortable to kneel on this blue stone slab."

"Yes," Ting Zhu and Yun Xi carefully supported Zhuang Luoyan and walked towards Taoyu Pavilion, Yun Xi sighed and said, "I never thought that Concubine Yuan would embarrass my master like this. Back then, the master and Master Lin were at odds, and I didn't expect that it would be involved in the harem now." Here we come, but how can Concubine Rou help Master?"

"She's not helping the master, but she just wants to watch the fun and cause trouble for Concubine Yuan and the master," Ting Zhu said in a low voice: "When Concubine Rou first entered the palace, Concubine Yuan made things difficult for her. Now They are all concubines, Concubine Rou is favored, but Concubine Yuan is disgusting."

Zhuang Luoyan would like to say that this is the failure and greatness of the women in the harem. The greatness lies in being able to endure and climb. The failure lies in the fact that after climbing up, one only remembers the beautiful scenery, but forgets that the foot of the mountain is full of thorns.

"She helped me, but she wanted to tell me that she could make me live or kill me," Zhuang Luoyan sneered, "She just slapped Ge Jinzi." It's a pity that Zhuang Luoyan didn't What self-esteem, although Concubine Rou's move made her a little embarrassed, but at least she would not be punished by Concubine Yuan, she felt that this level of insult was very cost-effective, and she really didn't have any pears.

At some point, a woman with no face, no skin, no self-esteem... the spiritual world is extremely powerful.

After Concubine Yuan returned to the palace, she was so angry that she broke several celadon teacups. Concubine Zhao was certainly hateful, but Concubine Rou was a thorn in her heart. It is extremely hateful to flaunt the power of the holy grace.

"Lin Qingyin, what a soft concubine!" Concubine Yuan cut off a flower branch and sneered.

Because of the loss of Ye Shurong's child, the emperor felt sad, and he did not summon the women in the harem for several days. Because of Jin Liangyi's lesson from the past, the people in the harem did not dare to make any big troubles, and they all stayed in their own rooms honestly. Even going to the queen's place to pay respects is also well-behaved, no one is going to show off or make trouble for each other.

Zhuang Luoyan is very free these days, so she started to learn a technique necessary for ancient women, that is female red. Although the original owner of the body is a savage, the female celebrity is still good. She picked up a cheap one, embroidered a handkerchief or something, and she can still see it.

Life in the harem is quite leisurely as long as no one makes things difficult. Zhuang Luoyan occasionally practiced calligraphy with two brushes, but the effect was not very good, but the handwriting could barely be seen by people.

"Master, a new batch of spices has been distributed in the palace today, do you want some?" Yun Xi came in with a small lacquered wooden box, her movements were very careful.

"Spice?" Zhuang Luoyan frowned, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

The incense in the box is very well made and has a very light smell, which is very suitable for smoking clothes or houses in this kind of weather.

Zhuang Luoyan played with a spice, "The weather is still mild now, so there is no need to use spices to drive away mosquitoes. I don't like to use these spices to fumigate my clothes, so keep it aside."

In harem scenes, this spice has always been used as a binding equipment for poisoning. She couldn't tell if there was any problem with these spices, but smelling too much of these things was bad for the respiratory tract, so she still avoided them.

Yun Xi packed up the spices and stepped back, presumably she understood Zhuang Luoyan's concerns.

"Master, are you worried?" Ting Zhu gently squeezed Zhuang Luoyan's shoulder, and explained softly: "These things came from the palace, so there may not be any problems. If it is not like this, then we Everything that is used can potentially be exploited."

Zhuang Luoyan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "But, this palace is still in the hands of the emperor, queen mother, and empress."

Hearing Zhu was startled, she really didn't think about this level, she just expected the concubine's usual tricks, but she never thought that the harem was also involved in the government affairs.

"It's the slaves who don't see it lightly," Ting Zhu said, "Master is an exquisite person, and the slaves are far behind."

"It's not that you are short-sighted, it's that I think too much. These are all uncertain things. How can I do it accurately?" Zhuang Luoyan waved his hands and yawned, "Forget it, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go to bed and rest for a while .”

Ting Zhu guessed that the master didn't want to think of the emperor too indifferently, so she waited for Zhuang Luoyan to take a nap. Of course, she would not know that the master was really sleepy, rather than something to escape from.

It has been nearly ten days since the emperor did not enter the harem, and the harem has changed from being honest to a little impetuous, but the queen is the emperor's wife, so it is not easy to speak to the emperor, and the queen mother is still worshiping Buddha, so naturally she doesn't care about these things, so everyone in the harem Watching anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the empress is asking to see you." Gao Dezhong walked to the emperor's side, seeing that he was reviewing the memorial, his voice became even softer.

"Empress?" Feng Jin frowned slightly, his tone was a little indifferent and he lowered his head to continue reading the brochure, "Let her in."

The queen entered the hall and saluted respectfully. Seeing the emperor's indifferent expression, she said softly, "The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, so don't forget to take good care of yourself."

"I'm worrying the queen. Recently, there are many affairs in the court, and the affairs in the harem are exhausting you." Feng Jin stood up, walked to the side of the queen, took her hand and sat down on the side, "there are some restless people in the harem." , if there is, you don't have to report it to me, the punishment is according to the rules, you and I have been husband and wife for many years, so you don't have to worry so much."

"The emperor loves his concubines, it's the blessing of the concubines," the empress smiled more clearly, "It's just that I don't see the empress walking among the sisters in the harem these days, wondering if the emperor is tired, who knows that today's visit Forgive the emperor for business."

"Why did Caifu say that?" Feng Jin smiled when he heard the words, "You and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years, how can we use it like this? It's just that the government affairs have been busy recently, and Ye Shurong's child..."

"Your Majesty needn't be so sad, there will be more children." Seeing the Emperor's sadness, the Empress hurriedly comforted her, "All the sisters in the harem will definitely give birth to many beautiful and motivated children."

"Forget it, I made the Empress worry." Feng Jin forced a smile, "You are also tired these days, go back and rest earlier, I know what's going on."

Seeing the emperor like this, the queen couldn't say anything more, so she had to leave with worry and distress for the emperor.

After the queen withdrew, all the smiles on the emperor's face faded, "Gao Dezhong."

"The slave is here," Gao Dezhong entered the room and saw the emperor's expression was indifferent, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Let the eunuch of the inner servant come in."

The eunuch of the inner servant walked in with a plate of tooth cards, and there were twenty or thirty of them lined up in a row, some of which were women whose names Feng Jin had no memory of at all.

These brands were lined up one by one according to their size, Feng Jin glanced at the tray, and casually flipped through one, "That's it."

The eunuch of the inner servant carefully took a look at the sign and exited the hall.

"The emperor ordered to light the lanterns in Heyue Palace tonight."

Gao Dezhong lowered his eyes, Heyue Palace? It seems that Concubine Rou will be the object of envy of all the concubines tomorrow.

"Gao Dezhong!"

Hearing the emperor's summons, Gao Dezhong hurriedly said: "The servant is here."

"Distribute the silks and satins that came from the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago to the queen and several concubines' palaces," Feng Jin paused, "as well as Concubine Yangui and Concubine Zhao, we must also distribute them."

"yes."

Concubine Yangui and Concubine Zhao? It seems that these two have been solid favorites recently.
