The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 106 Learning Characters (1)

After finishing everything, Bai Sang looked at Jiao Rong at this moment, his eyes seemed to be fixed on her, and he refused to move away no matter what.Seeing her appearance, Jiao Rong couldn't help raising her eyebrows and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Bai Sang quickly shook his head and smiled brightly: "No, this servant just thinks that the young master finally looks like a master."

No matter in terms of temperament, appearance or posture, Jiaorong looks like a young lady who should have been born in a noble family. It seems that her luxurious attire now reflects her cold and charming figure even more.

After everything was packed, Jiaorong took Baisang to Qixiang Palace, and Yizhu followed because she was worried that Jiaorong would be alone.

Jiaorong came not too early today, when she arrived at Qixiang Palace, most of the concubines were already sitting in the palace and chatting with Concubine Zhao.

"Sister's complexion looks a lot better recently, presumably the baby in her womb is much more obedient." Zhao Chang didn't talk much on weekdays, but now he flattered her.

Ma Changzai smiled slightly, the corners of her lips still stained with enzymatic color, she gently touched her lower abdomen with her hand, and said softly: "It is true, having this child, I feel more at ease in my heart, this palace, after all Or having more princes is a blessing."

Several people were talking, but it didn't take long before the hall became quiet.As Jiaorong walked into the center of the hall step by step, the surrounding concubines stopped talking one after another, all eyes were on Jiaorong, and they began to size her up and down.

It has become a well-known fact that the emperor canonized a maid of Chengqian Palace as a permanent presence recently, and all concubines with more senior qualifications in the palace are not very unfamiliar with Jiaorong.Almost everyone knows that although this court lady came from a low-ranking family, she is extremely clever in her methods. Li Guiren was demoted all the way to promise, and Chengqian Palace's calculations were indispensable among them, and the concubine Yi of Chengqian Palace was a cowardly person. Yes, all of these are self-evident.

Jiaorong held her hands in front of her abdomen, and her back was straight.Although she is not a lady of the family, her parents have paid great attention to the cultivation of her posture and etiquette since she was a child, so that once she breaks away from the shackles of a slave girl's dress, she will easily have the sense of sight of a noble young master .

"Chen..." Jiaorong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Chenqie pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress."

Concubine Zhao looked at Jiaorong, still with a decent smile on her face, "It's sister Wu Ya, sit down quickly, I heard that Concubine Yi's sister had a cold, and I just wanted to send someone to Chengqian Palace to have a look, I don't know How is sister Yifei now?"

Hearing this, Jiaorong nodded slightly, and said in a very soft voice, "My sister took the medicine and rested overnight, and the fever has subsided, and she is resting in the palace right now. When my sister regains her energy, she will come to pay her respects to the imperial concubine." .”

"No hurry, let her have a good rest first." Concubine Zhao slightly pursed her lips, always maintaining a virtuous and virtuous appearance, "Sister, sit down first."

"Yes." Jiaorong didn't say much, turned her head and took a few steps back, and sat in the empty seat behind Zhaochang. When the two looked at each other, Jiaorong bowed her head politely.

Jiao Rong was fine, and the people next to her looked at her with a straight face all the time, acting very aloof.But the more she looks like this, the more jealous she will be.

Next to the two girls who have been in the palace for nearly a year but still only agreed to discuss softly——

"Looking at her like this, she is quite arrogant. Speaking of it, she is just a court lady, and I don't know what she is arrogant about."

"That's right. I heard that when she was serving nobleman You in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, she shamelessly seduced the emperor. Presumably she is as stupid and naive as Concubine Yi. She will treat her as a treasure."

When Jiao Rong heard this, the light in her eyes became colder, but she still looked straight ahead without saying a word.She will have to deal with such occasions thousands of times in the future. The concubines in the palace know how to be jealous of each other, and she can't let all these trivial words affect her.

Concubine Zhao sighed slightly, put down the teacup in her hand, and said to the concubines below: "Sister Wu Ya will be the same as everyone else, she will be a sister in this palace, although Sister Wu Ya used to be Concubine Yi's maid , but now she is also someone who is highly valued by the emperor, everyone should not underestimate her, and treat everything equally."

Concubine Zhao has always had a noble demeanor, when the concubines heard this, they had to answer in unison: "Yes."

"Speaking of which, Wu Yachang served the elder brother and the second elder brother before, even if she was a maid, she was still a first-class maid in the palace, and now she is favored by the emperor, her status is no lower than us. "Zhuo Changzai's name is Guo Luoluo Jingzhuo, and he is also an old man in the palace. Compared with Ma Changzai and the others, his personality is easier to get along with.

After hearing this, Ma Changzai felt a little unhappy. She was downgraded to Changzai in the end because of Jiaorong.So Ma Changzai couldn't help but replied: "Sister Zhuo is right. When Sister Wu Ya was a maidservant, the emperor spoiled her very much, and even lowered my position for her sake. We really can't compare. what."

Hearing Ma Chang mentioning these past events, the other concubines didn't dare to say anything more, after all, these two are not easy to provoke, and anyone who is provoked will be killed.

Just when Ma Changzai was about to continue to sneer, Concubine Zhaogui in front suddenly cleared her throat: "Okay, I have one more thing to say today."

Hearing this, Ma Changzai snorted coldly, hating Jiaorong, but didn't say anything else.Concubine Zhao waited for the rest to calm down before slowly opening her mouth and said: "I see that Ma Chang has contributed a lot to conceiving the prince, so I would like to ask the emperor to restore her status as a nobleman. Since it is a resettlement, there is no need for a canonization ceremony. Sister Ma returns to the palace. Receive the monthly tribute according to the nobleman's share."

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.Ma Guiren looked at Concubine Zhao, and was a little stunned for a while, she frowned slightly, and asked: "Isn't the emperor asking for my position?"

Concubine Zhao turned her head to meet Ma Guiren's eyes, and said firmly, "This is not the emperor's intention, but the palace's intention. Ma Guiren has given birth successively, and has made a lot of contributions to the royal family's blood. This is also the palace's intention. A sympathy."

Regarding this, Ma Guiren gritted his teeth, seemingly a little unconvinced.When Concubine Zhao was not a noble concubine, she and Concubine Zhao were considered to be on an equal footing, but now Concubine Zhao has firmly grasped the power of the Six Palaces, and can even determine her position at will, how can this make Ma Guiren balance ?

After a while, Ma Guiren took a deep breath, and his voice became slightly harsh: "Then sister really thanked the imperial concubine for her kindness."
