The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 101 I Will Not Touch You (2)

Jiaorong slept in the side hall last night. In fact, she originally wanted to live in the back room. After all, she was used to it. But the maids of Chengqian Palace knew that she had been sealed as a permanent queen, and no one dared to leave her. Let Jiaorong live with them, for fear that the emperor will blame him.

After waking up in the morning, Jiaorong sat on the couch all the time, looking at the sunlight outside the window, her whole face was full of numbness and bewilderment.

At this moment, Bai Sang came in from the outside, with her hands in front of her belly, she walked respectfully to Jiaorong's side, resisting her fear of Jiaorong, leaned over and said softly: "My lord, let this slave serve as your servant." Get dressed up."

Hearing the sound, Jiao Rong slowly turned her head to look at Bai Sang. Bai Sang's youthful, respectful and reserved appearance was very similar to the appearance she had just been serving by Mr. Yougui's side.Jiaorong's face was a little indifferent, her eyes moved slightly, she shook her head slightly, and said dryly, "No need, I'm not used to it."

She is not used to being called the little master, living in a gorgeous palace, wearing luxurious clothes, or eating first-class meals, because all these seem to mean that she has become a pet of the royal family, and she is not even considered a pet. , can only be said to be a plaything.

Hearing this, Bai Sang pursed the corners of her lower lips, frowned lightly, and continued to persuade: "My lord, Concubine Yi has specially ordered her servants to dress you up, and she will take you there later Your highness, concubine, please greet me."

As soon as she heard that it was Concubine Yi's order, Jiaorong subconsciously relaxed a little. After hesitating for a while, Jiaorong was not too embarrassed to embarrass a servant, so she nodded slightly, "Okay."

The House of Internal Affairs sent countless luxurious clothes, all of which were expected to be the best in the palace, which made Jiao Rong's status directly surpass those of the nobles in the palace, and she immediately had the treatment of a favorite concubine.And Jiao Rong only chose the most common fabric, and the lightest color and pattern among them.

Even if she is not used to it, she still understands the rules in the palace. After all, she wants to greet the noble concubine, and it is definitely inappropriate for her to dress too gorgeously for an inferior concubine.

In the end, Jiaorong wore a blue round-necked orchid-patterned gown, and a white dragon flower around her neck, which complemented Jiaorong's extremely good figure and superior swan neck. Although it was not bright, it was elegant enough.Bai Sang proposed to apply some makeup on her, but Jiao Rong refused at first, but Bai Sang said that she washed her face with tears yesterday, and her complexion didn't look good, if she didn't cover it up, Concubine Yi might be worried.

So, Jiao Rong let Bai Sang to tidy her up.The makeup applied was also relatively light, the thin eyebrows had a full charm, and the pair of winking eyes were even more seductive. Although Jiao Rong didn't feel that there was much change, Bai Sang himself was surprised: "My lord As expected of someone who can stand out among the many palace maids, this temperament is simply a lady's."

Jiao Rong didn't pay much attention to Bai Sang's praise, and got up directly from the dressing table.She wore three ear clips on her ears, which made Jiaorong, who had small earlobes, feel very uncomfortable, but the emperor's concubine had to have one ear and three clips. This was the ancestor's rule, and she had to abide by it.

Then Jiaorong first went to the main hall to greet Concubine Yi, although the complexion on her face was covered, Concubine Yi could still see the gloomyness in Jiaorong's eyes.Concubine Yi couldn't help sighing deeply, walked to Jiaorong, touched her arm, and said softly: "Since everything in front of me can no longer be reversed, let's try to accept it slowly."

Jiaorong lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, she just nodded her head slowly after a long time, her overall condition didn't look good.

"Let's go, according to the etiquette, the imperial concubine is now in charge of the sixth palace. You have just been canonized, and you should go to Qixiang Palace to pay her respects." Concubine Yi slowly moved her hand to Jiao Rong's, and gently stroked her slender fingers.

"En." Jiaorong replied softly, still without any emotion, extremely indifferent.

After the two arrived at Qixiang Palace, Concubine Yi bowed her knees to Concubine Zhao in front of Jiaorong: "My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Zhao."

Jiao Rong didn't know much about the rules of concubines, so she followed Concubine Yi and bowed her knees, but she didn't raise her head from the beginning to the end. If she didn't pay close attention to her attire, she might be regarded as a court lady.

"Little sister, get up quickly, the weather has been cold recently, younger sister remember to wear some cotton clothes to avoid the wind and cold." Concubine Zhao was wearing a navy blue chrysanthemum-patterned robe, and the golden ornaments on her head were shining, very graceful and luxurious.

Then, Concubine Zhao looked at Jiaorong behind Concubine Yi, smiled slightly, and said friendlyly: "This is sister Jiaorong, I am an old acquaintance with you. My sister is next to my sister Lingxi, and now I am the emperor's concubine again, I really feel a little emotional."

Concubine Zhao's "sister" made her ears go numb, her eyelashes twitched lightly, she still refused to raise her head, she didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only say coldly: "Servant... no, my concubine Wu Yashi , Greetings to the imperial concubine.”

No one would be unwilling to deal with smart people. Concubine Zhao knew that Jiaorong was a smart little girl, so she naturally had a good impression of her, not to mention that Jiaorong was also an honest person.Thinking of this, Concubine Zhao smiled lightly, and said softly: "You two sisters, sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Concubine Concubine." Concubine Yi replied softly, then looked at Jiao Rong behind her, and took her into a seat.

Jiao Rong watched Bai Chun come over to offer tea to Concubine Yi and her, and was a little afraid to take it for a while. When she was a court lady, she respected Bai Chun, after all, she was the most senior court lady, so she couldn't compare.But now, Bai Chun actually wants to serve her, it's really different now.

Jiao Rong took the cup of hot tea, nodded to Bai Chun in thanks, everything seemed honest and responsible.She watched Concubine Zhao and Concubine Yi talking there, took a sip of tea silently, and couldn't help frowning.She has never drunk tea, especially the famous tea in the palace, she can't recognize it at all, and she doesn't know how to taste tea. It is incomparable with concubine Zhao and Concubine Yi, who are of noble origin.

Jiao Rong doesn't like this new life, but she can't escape it, so she can only accept it slowly.She comforted herself silently in her heart that one day she would slowly get used to it.But Jiaorong couldn't help asking herself, could she really adapt?Adapting to this chaotic harem, and... serving her husband, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Jiaorong held the teacup, her expression darkened.Yes, at least up to now, she still can't accept the emperor. If they meet again in the future, she probably can't help being cold-faced and quarreling with the emperor as before.And the emperor probably won't spoil her like before.
