Chapter 4

According to the rules of the palace, after the concubines are favored by the emperor, they need to greet the queen the next morning. Of course, some emperors love beauties, so they don't need to ask an Li.

Zhuang Luoyan was in a daze last night. Although she heard emperor Cheng Xuan say that she would be exempted from her invitation in the morning, she was not the original Zhuang Luoyan. She knew that it would not come to a good end to be proud in this harem. If you don't have Daji's ability, you'd better not get Daji's disease. What's more, Daji, the demon concubine of the first generation, finally came to a bad end.

To dress up according to Wanyi's rank is not too showy, nor can it be plain and elegant. In this harem, too low-key is deliberately high-key, which hinders some people's eyes.

The queen lived in Jingyang palace, which was also the residence of the queen since the founding of the dynasty. The empress was one year older than the emperor, and was not favored by the emperor. However, the emperor still respected the empress, so the empress's position in the harem was stable. It was a pity that the empress gave birth to only one daughter and died early when she was two years old, so that several favored concubines in the harem took some publicity.

It's easier to fall out of favor than to regain favor in the harem, so when all the concubines watched Zhuang Wanyi come to please the empress, they were not happy. It was clear that she was just a woman with a little bit of beauty, and how could she regain favor.

"Concubines and concubines visit the empress, empress Wan'an." it's not too early or too late for Zhuang Wanyi to come. It's also a rule. After the ceremony, the lady in the palace beside the queen came up to help her, completely forgetting that she had been Leng Yan not long ago.

"Just now, the little eunuch around the emperor came to tell us that you are not welcome today, but you are here. Please sit down quickly." although the Queen's appearance is not very good among all the concubines, her whole body atmosphere is enough to show the empress's majesty, which makes her smile wisely and magnanimously.

"The emperor and the empress are compassionate. It's a good fortune for the concubines, but the concubines didn't ask for the empress's greetings for a few days. They feel guilty. They just bothered you today and asked the empress not to give up." Zhuang Luoyan sneered in his heart. Why didn't he say that before his big ceremony? It's just to earn a reputation of virtuous and magnanimous. The empress, in front of her, is really useless It's fun.

"If you can do that, I'm very proud of you," he said, and asked people to reward Zhuang Luoyan with something, which attracted the envy of some low ranking concubines.

After talking for a while, the women in the room heard the eunuch's voice: "Lady Shu is here, Su Xiuyi is here."

Zhuang Luoyan stood up and watched two beautiful women walk in with graceful steps. In front of her was a gorgeous woman in pink imperial dress. She was only about twenty years old. Although she was willow like, she could still see the pride and noble spirit between her eyebrows. It was not difficult to see that she was a very favored concubine.

The woman who is one step behind her is also very good-looking, but her bearing is a little short of one point. They have some similarities in eyebrows and eyes. It seems that this person is in awe of the woman walking in front of her.

"I've seen the queen before," said Princess Shu. However, such an action was extremely elegant, which made Zhuang Luoyan sigh in her heart. No wonder she was so favored. If she was a man, she could not help but favor this kind of creature.

After another visit, the eunuch reported that Yan guipin had arrived.

From Zhaoyi down, almost all the concubines have no titles, but only Xue Zhenyao, the Yan GUI concubine, was given the title of "Yan". It is said that when she first met the emperor in Meilin, her smile surprised the emperor. Soon after, she was promoted from a little beauty to Rong Hua. Finally, she was canonized as Yan GUI concubine directly by Rong Hua, which shows the emperor's love for her.

The woman who came in was two points more gorgeous than the lady Shu. She was very charming everywhere. She first looked at all the concubines in the room, and then came forward to say hello to the queen.

The Queen's attitude towards her is the same as that of Princess Shu, but Zhuang Luoyan can't see what the queen thinks of the two favorite concubines. However, she is thinking that if Yan guipin's family background is not a little worse, she is afraid that now she will be more than a third grade concubine.

"The empress is so busy here today. Isn't this sister Zhuang who hasn't been seen for many days?" Yan GUI pin's eyes are very beautiful. When her eyes fall on Zhuang Luoyan, her smile is very soft, but Zhuang Luoyan feels cool.

"Sister Hui is my concubine." Zhuang Luoyan got up and made a curtsey, with a smile on his face.

"I heard that you were ill, and I didn't have time to see you. Now I'm very well," said Yan guipin, looking at Princess Shu with a smile. "Princess sister, look at sister Wanyi's little face. She's much thinner."

"Wanyi's younger sister is a little thin. Although she is already in Da'an, she is still a good general." Princess Shu looks at Zhuang Luoyan carefully and shows a gentle smile. Her voice is as soft as the spring breeze. "If there is something missing, go to the queen or our sisters and say it. Don't blame yourself."

"Concubines and concubines have given thanks to their sisters. They didn't lack anything, but they worried them." After sitting back in her chair, Zhuang Luoyan thought, if these women really think they are sisters, why do they cry "sister Wanyi" every time? It's just to remind themselves that they are inferior and don't be rampant because they are spoiled.

"I'm relieved that you are so harmonious. Earlier, the kang'an palace had already sent a decree to avoid today's greetings. If there is nothing wrong with your sisters, please go back." The queen looked at all kinds of beautiful women in the room and waved her hand.Since the empress said so, all the concubines naturally would not be shameful to stay. After Qiqi left Jingyang palace, they showed half of their true nature.

After the honest and hopeless concubines quit Jingyang palace, they leave quietly, leaving behind the women with different thoughts.

"Zhuang Wanyi is back in favor. I'm most happy to come to Zhuang Jieyu. Am I right?" Ma Jieyu's voice was not high or low, but it was enough for several people to hear clearly. Everyone knows that Zhuang Jieyu entered the palace two years earlier than Zhuang Wanyi. Moreover, Zhuang Wanyi is the direct daughter of the Zhuang family, and Zhuang Jieyu is just the daughter of the concubine. Since Zhuang Wanyi entered the palace, she has not been respectful to her sister. Now Ma Jieyu deliberately said such words, only to make both sisters unhappy.

Zhuang Jieyu didn't expect her sister to get up one day. Although she wished her sister would never get up once she was thrown into the mire, it was a matter between them. She didn't need Ma Jieyu, whose father was just a magistrate, to instigate her. She sneered at Ma Jieyu and said, "isn't Ma Jieyu happy that her sister can serve the emperor? ”

as soon as her face changed, Ma Jieyu hummed coldly, "you are sisters."

It's just a satire to describe Zhuang's sisters as sisters. Zhuang Luoyan also knows that Zhuang Jieyu doesn't like her very much. Of course, no matter who faces a younger sister who is not as good as herself except for her appearance, who is against herself everywhere, and who is unruly and willful, will be close to her.

Zhuang Jieyu's face is not good-looking, so she doesn't answer Ma Jieyu's words any more.

Zhuang Luoyan turned to Ma Jieyu and said with a smile: "sister Ma has been in the palace for many years. Which one of us is not a sister?"

"You Ma Jieyu's face is as deep as water. She is not young this year, and her qualification to enter the palace is early. But now she is only a four grade Jieyu. Compared with these beautiful women in front of her, she has lost her tenderness.

"When we talk, it's no use for you to interrupt," Ma Jieyu said coldly. "Come on, give me a hand."

"Master..." Ma Jieyu's maids were in a dilemma. They were shivering, but they did not dare to move.

"I hope my sister will forgive me for losing her appearance. Because my sister said that we are sisters, I dare to answer the conversation. I don't know that my sister doesn't mean that." Zhuang Luoyan bowed, looking at Ma Jieyu's face more embarrassed, and the smile in the corner of her mouth did not increase or decrease.

"I haven't seen her for many days, but Zhuang Wanyi's mouth is much more powerful," Jiang xianpin looked at the play from a distance and said in a low voice to Wang's side, "I don't know if the means have improved."

Wang pin glanced at Ma Jieyu's embarrassed face. "I don't know if Zhuang Wanyi's methods have improved, but Ma Jieyu has been in the palace for quite a long time, but her mind has regressed."

The three of them went to the palace on the same day. Jiang xianpin was more or less the fourth grade. She was also the fourth grade. Only Ma Jieyu was the fourth grade. Thinking about the scenery when Ma Jieyu was in favor three years ago, she had a smile on her lips.

Ma Jieyu naturally can't let the slave around her take charge of Zhuang Luoyan's mouth. Let alone outside the Jingyang palace, she can say it's somewhere else. A Jieyu called the slave zhangtie, who had just received the grace of the emperor. That's also jealousy and immorality. She made trouble for herself.

Although Ma Jieyu was a little stupid, she didn't have a brain. She soon calmed down, took a fierce look at Zhuang Luoyan, turned around and left with the maid in waiting.

The busy concubines left in twos and threes, but only Zhuang Jieyu and Zhuang Luoyan remained for a while.

"When my sister is sick, I miss her very much," Zhuang Luo looks at Zhuang Jieyu with a smile. At the beginning, the original owner of her body made the queen dissatisfied. I'm afraid that Zhuang Jieyu also contributed to this.

Zhuang Jieyu looked into Zhuang Luoyan's eyes. They were so beautiful that they made her feel embarrassed. With a sneer, she supported the maid Xieyu's hand and said with a sneer, "sister, why is that so?" She entered the palace two years earlier than her younger sister. Because she was a concubine, she was only a little Jieyu after all these years. However, her arrogant younger sister, as a direct daughter, was granted the title of side Wupin Guiji when she entered the palace. After one night's favor, she was promoted to the position of Cong Wupin Wanyi. She is still only a side Wupin Jieyu.

Whether she was unwilling or resentful, she wished that her sister would fall out of favor and go into the cold palace. She even hoped that her sister would disappear in the back palace in silence. But Zhuang Luoyan has been out of favor. She has made the queen unhappy. Why is she in favor again overnight? Even the Queen's attitude towards her has changed?

Just because she is more beautiful than herself, just because she's the one who comes out of her own way?!

Seeing the hatred in Zhuang Jieyu's eyes, Zhuang Luoyan lowered her eyelids and held out her hand from Yunxi. "My sister is a little tired today, so she took the first step."

Watching Zhuang Luoyan's master and servant leave, Zhuang Jieyu said darkly, "what's the news from Taoyu pavilion?"

"Master, I heard that..." Xie Yu said in a low voice: "this morning, Gao Dezhong, the eunuch general manager, went to Dianzhong province and selected six slaves to go to Taoyu Pavilion. It is said that the emperor worried that there were too few slaves in Taoyu Pavilion and wronged Zhuang Wanyi."

"Aggrieved?" Zhuang Jieyu sneered, "which Wanyi is not such a slave, but she is wronged." As soon as she said this, she was shocked and forced to go to her own place.

"Master, miss, she...""Yunxi, she's not the first lady. She's Zhuang Jieyu. Don't forget," Zhuang Luoyan chuckles. What sisters are there in the harem?

"Emperor, do you want to change the brand today?" Gao Dezhong led the eunuch of the internal eunuch to come in. When he saw that the emperor was burying his head in criticizing the memorial, he lowered his voice a little.

Feng Jin's cinnabar imperial pen in her hand, glanced at the plate in the tray, and reached for a jade dental plaque, on which was written "Su ruizi, lady of Anqing palace." As soon as his fingertip touched the ice of the jade plaque, he suddenly stopped and turned over a wooden plaque.

Gao Dezhong looked at the plaque and saw that the emperor buried his head in criticizing the fold again. He took the eunuch of the inner Chamberlain and withdrew.

"It's said by the emperor that the peach jade Pavilion is lighting tonight."
