The Job of an Imperial Concubine

"My concubine is in a good mood today."

Suddenly looking back, Zhuang Luoyan stood in the sun, looked at the emperor standing under the shade of the tree, smiled brightly, stepped forward and bowed, "I have seen the emperor."

When the emperor spared her the gift, Zhuang Luoyan pulled the paper kite thread in her hand, tilted her head and looked at the emperor, "The emperor wants to release the paper kite, and there is another one at my concubine's place. Unfortunately, I don't like it. I think it's so powerful." Things, the emperor should appreciate it."

Feng Jin asked with great interest, "Oh, what kind of paper kite?"

Fu Bao, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly presented the paper kite, Feng Jin glanced at it casually, and immediately smiled, he thought it was a tiger or a lion, but unexpectedly it was a brown and red bloody horse.

"The emperor is the son of heaven, and the emperor naturally manages thousands of miles of land in the world. Driving a mere sweaty BMW couldn't be easier," Zhuang Luoyan said with a smug smile, "not to mention that the sweaty BMW that my concubine gave to the emperor can fly, no It is the legendary Pegasus, the Son of Heaven and the Pegasus are truly a match made in heaven."

"This is the first time I know that a natural pair can be used like this." Feng Jin took the paper kite, looked at it carefully, and said with some disgust, "Which slave drew this, the horse's belly is as round as a pig's belly of."

As soon as Feng Jin's words came out, Ting Zhu and Fu Bao's expressions suddenly became strange.

Seeing the clues from the faces of the palace people, Feng Jin twitched the corners of his mouth to straighten out the lines, thinking of Concubine Ning's hand-drawn hand, Zhuang Luoyan's painting is really not eye-catching. Although he thought so in his heart, he added, "Fat is a bit fatter, but it looks strong. Tianma is really different from ordinary things."

This time it was Gao Dezhong whose expression became weird. His not-so-big eyes couldn't help but look at the sweaty horse a few more times, and he felt emotional. Thanks to Zhao Xianrong, he had the nerve to say that it was a sweaty horse, called a sweaty horse. Tianzhu is about the same. No wonder this paper kite Zhao Xianrong doesn't use it, the co-authors think it's ugly. In this way, the emperor can still find a place to comfort Zhao Xianrong's appalling painting skills, I am afraid that only the emperor has this ability.

On a sunny spring day, handsome men and beautiful women bathe in the sun and release paper kites. It should be considered a beautiful picture. What flies in the sky are not dragons and phoenixes, but horses and peacocks, which makes people feel a little more natural.

"It's gone, Your Majesty, you have to run a few steps, otherwise Pegasus will not be able to fly."

"Hurry up, hurry up, run to the left! It's windy."

Gao Dezhong silently watched the emperor being commanded by Zhao Xianrong, with a smile on his face, and finally he could only slowly look away, he really didn't want to admit that the emperor was being pointed around by a concubine Still happy.

If Zhuang Luoyan knew what he was thinking, he would tell him that this is the legendary cheap character, and some men have cheap genes in their bones, and they will show up after being beaten.

Zhuang Luoyan watched the emperor running around with squinted eyes, and smiled brightly, telling the emperor to run around, don't feel too relieved.

Under the bright sunshine, the queen sat on the open-air Eight Immortals stone table, looked up at an extra paper kite in the sky, and pushed away the cake presented by the maid, "Take it, I am not hungry."

He Yu glanced at it, took the pastry from the hand of the maid, approached the queen and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you don't have much appetite at noon, and there is still an hour before dinner, so you should use something."

"There are beauties who have just entered the palace after being a favorite concubine. These women frequently show tricks, and the emperor keeps hanging around among these women..." The queen sighed, "Let Diancui clean up the warehouse of the palace later, and choose some Appropriate jewelry brocades are given to the concubines who have just entered the palace, can the people in the palace arrange the residence of the three of them?"

"Hui Niangniang, everything has been arranged, but the red sleeves that were originally arranged to be sent to the side hall of Xihe Palace have been sent to Concubine Ning Palace." Seeing the queen's suspicious expression, Heyu explained, "Mr. After leaving the palace, I specifically said that there is no need for newcomers to enter the Palace of Concubine Shu and Zhaoxian Rong."

"There are so many concubines in the harem, but they can't live in other people's palaces," the queen said with a mocking smile on her face, "Let's see, the new ones this time are not easy, especially that Ning Shengyu, I'm afraid even Concubine Shu will be afraid."

As the sun was about to set, Zhuang Luoyan also accidentally wrapped the peacock paper kite around the bloody horse paper kite. Looking at the two paper kites entangled together, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Feng Jin smiled at Zhuang Luoyan, and cut off the kite thread neatly, "Since they are already entangled, let them be together freely."

Zhuang Luoyan looked up at the paper kites entangled together and disappeared under the setting sun, with a yearning expression on her face, "That's great."

Feng Jin silently glanced at the woman beside him, knowing what she was yearning for, but stopped talking, and stretched out his hand to hold the other's catkin, the hand in the palm was small, and his wide palm was big enough to wrap it, "Gao Dezhong, today The dinner will be served in Xihe Palace."

"Yes," Gao Dezhong replied in a low voice, and the little eunuch behind him retreated cleverly to pass on the message.

Zhuang Luoyan lowered her head and rolled her eyes silently. The kite without strings still wants to be together freely, but it will fall to an unknown place later.

That night, Feng Jin took advantage of the opportunity to rest in Xihe Palace. In the middle of the night, he opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping woman in his arms, and closed them again after a while.

"Ning noble people arrive, flower talents arrive, and strict talents arrive."

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the three women who came in, all of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, with a girl's unique innocence, but their words and deeds were very moderate.

Seeing them kneeling and saluting to the queen, and then curtseying to them, Zhuang Luoyan couldn't help but look at Ning Guiren more, she is really a rare beauty.

"The three of you are new to the palace. If there is anything you don't need to be cautious about, just tell Aunt Heyu who is next to me." The queen smiled and looked at Concubine Xian and the others. The aunt in charge or the eunuch in charge is also fine."

The three of them saluted again to thank them, they were very polite, and no one could find anything wrong with them.

"It's really a person with three signs," Concubine Rou looked at the three of them, and smiled, "We've all been compared."

"Concubines and other concubines are ugly, and dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with empresses." Ning Guiren bowed and said humbly, "Concubines really can't bear the praise of empresses."

"Sister Ning is right, women are really beautiful." Hua Cai said humanely, "When my concubine saw women before, she looked stupid."

"This little mouth is really sweet." Concubine Xian glanced at the three of them, "They are sweet people."

Zhuang Luoyan can assure you that the women present didn't want to praise these three people at all, but it's a pity that they had to be kind and magnanimous, and said compliments that vomited blood against their will.

After leaving the Queen's Palace, Zhuang Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief, it's not a smart person's way to bully a newcomer or something. Who knows if the newcomer will shine in the future, it is better to do some things after knowing yourself and your enemy.

"Your Majesty," Jiang Guifei walked towards Zhuang Luoyan, saluted with a smile, "The peach garden has blossomed these days, and the scenery is just right today. Is Your Majesty interested in watching the peach blossoms with my concubine?"

Zhuang Luoyan looked up at the sky, and supported Tingzhu's hand, "Since that's the case, why don't we go and have a look together."

Just as Jiang Guifei said, all the peach blossoms in the peach garden were in full bloom. She and Jiang Guifei sat down on the stone table, and soon a court lady brought hot tea and cakes. Occasionally, petals fell on the table, making it a little more charming.

"The Taoyu Pavilion where the empress used to live has a new master," Jiang Guipin smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Luoyan, looking in the direction of the Taoyu Pavilion beside the Taoyuan.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "When someone leaves, someone goes in. Taoyu Pavilion is exquisite and beautiful, Hua Cairen looks innocent, and Yan Cairen is well-behaved, and the two of them live in it, so they don't waste the delicacy there. "

As soon as Concubine Jiang heard this, she knew that Zhuang Luoyan was aware of what happened in the harem, but she just ignored the matter, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhuang Luoyan, "Your Majesty can see clearly."

"Only when you can see clearly can you appreciate more beautiful scenery." Zhuang Luoyan picked up the teacup, and a peach petal fell into the cup before drinking. She put down the teacup with a smile and took out the petals in the tea. After drinking tea, it’s not as tender as that.”

Poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Zhuang Luoyan, "Flowers are naturally the best on flower branches."

Zhuang Luoyan pursed her lips and began to talk about some irrelevant matters with Jiang Guipin.

When Concubine Jiang Gui left, Zhuang Luoyan stood in the peach forest, looking up at the fluttering peach petals. If she remembered correctly, the first time she met the emperor seemed to be in this peach forest?

"Mother," Ting Zhu cried out worriedly, thinking that Zhuang Luoyan, who was in a daze, was thinking about the emperor, so she couldn't bear to say, "It's time for lunch in a while."

"It's really getting late," Zhuang Luoyan let her support her, "Go back."

"Your Majesty..." Gao Dezhong glanced at the emperor, and watched Zhao Xianrong leave silently. He didn't understand why the emperor didn't go to see Zhao Xianrong after he found Zhao Xianrong standing in the peach forest, but watched silently.

Feng Jin glanced at him, turned around and said, "Go back to the palace."

Gao Dezhong followed immediately, and when he reached the Chuihua Gate, he couldn't help but look back again, at this time Zhao Xianrong and his party were no longer in sight.

As soon as Zhuang Luoyan walked out of the peach grove, she saw Yan Cairen and Hua Cairen walking towards this side with a court lady each.

"My concubine has seen Zhao Xianrong."

Zhuang Luoyan smiled and asked the two to stand up straight, "Are you two also here to enjoy the flowers?"

"Back to your mother, my concubine saw the flowers blooming just right, so I went to have a look with Sister Yan." Hua Cairen carefully glanced at Zhuang Luoyan, with a hint of timidity in his big black and white eyes, "This concubine is disturbing my mother." interest?"

"I'm going back to the palace, how can you bother me?" Zhuang Luoyan looked at Dazzling Cairen, "In this case, you go, I should go back to the palace." Cai Ren is the same age, but she calls her sister, she is really pure, kind and innocent.

"Congratulations to the empress."

Zhuang Luoyan herself dislikes talented people the most. Some people can do terrible things with their innocent and kind skin. However, this kind of person still claims to be kind and genuine.

"Your Majesty, why is this slave looking at this talented person?" Yun Xi frowned, as if thinking about what was wrong with that talented person.

"Her dress and hair accessories are very similar to your empress." Ting Zhu looked back at Tao Lin, speaking with disdain, "Even her hobbies have many similarities."

Zhuang Luo raised her brows, after hearing what Zhu said, she understood what was going on, she couldn't help but smiled, imitating others is not a good choice in the harem, let alone she is being favored now, a talented person He thought that green out of blue is better than blue, so he wasn't afraid to offend her.

"Whatever she wants to do," Yun Xi snorted coldly, "With such a name, it's not a good thing to look at."

Zhuang Luoyan said lightly: "You don't have to pay too much attention to them, there are many women in the harem, what other people like has nothing to do with us, and all means are no match for the emperor's favor."

"Your Majesty is right, instead of spending too much energy calculating others, it is better to grasp the emperor's heart," Ting Zhu said, "If one is calculated, another will come, only the emperor's favor can keep the concubine standing tall in the harem. "

"What if others plot against us?" Yun Xi said, "The more favored you are in the harem, the easier it is for others to plot against you."

"Even if someone is scheming, the emperor will protect him, not to mention we won't be on guard?" Ting Zhu smiled, "I feel that sometimes taking the initiative to scheming is not as useful as exposing other people's scheming."

Zhuang Luoyan smiled and nodded, sometimes waiting for others to calculate is often a kind of calculation.
