Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 114 How can the master ignore it?

When Princess Huaiqing saw that it was Concubine Li and Huai Shu, the smile on her face faded.

She slowly got up and stepped aside, looked at Mu Nan, and said to Concubine Li: "This is the third princess of Anxi... Mu Nan."

Mu Nan also stood up, and because the lady didn't speak, she smiled and stood beside Princess Huaiqing.

She glanced at Princess Huaiqing lightly, seeing that her smile was fading away but she didn't salute, she was a little curious about who it was.

Taking a closer look, she saw that the noble lady in front was wearing a Shu brocade palace dress with engraved gold thread buttons and peony patterns.

Just by looking at this charm and posture, one can guess that she is not of low status, but looking at the palace attire, it is not the empress dowager's fancy attire.

Princess Huaiqing is the eldest princess, but she only seems to have a face for her.

And look at the red jadeite dripping bead phoenix head golden step shaker on her head, the phoenix head swaying slowly with her steps is lifelike, and the pearl pendant held in the phoenix head is crystal clear and round.

After Mu Nan's gaze stayed on her for a while longer, his smile on her became even stronger.

Looking at the girl who was one step behind her, the girl was of medium build, with fair complexion, bright eyes and white teeth, and she was wearing a relatively bright court gown in a long silk embroidered dress made of juan gauze.

Her face is somewhat like that of a noble lady, and she is also a pleasant and handsome appearance.

But... those who can appear at this kind of state banquet... must not be simple characters.

Seeing Princess Huaiqing's lukewarm attitude towards her, Concubine Li just glanced at her. She was already familiar with Princess Huaiqing's attitude.

Concubine Li, who still had a smile on her lips, still took a few steps forward with a graceful stride.

When she got in front of Mu Nan, she smiled and said: "Today, I am late. Is it my fault that Huaiqing and the third princess have been waiting for a long time?"

Princess Huaiqing's face remained unchanged, "You are welcome, Concubine."

Mu Nan smiled coquettishly, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, and said: "So it's the empress dowager, just call me Mu Nan."

Concubine Li saw that Princess Mu Nan gave her face so much, so she said with a leisurely smile: "I must have a relationship with Mu Nan. When I see Mu Nan, I like it very much. I can't let go of it." After the banquet is over, Mu Nan will go to Linqiu Hall with Ben Gong to sit down."

Mu Nan nodded and said with a smile: "The concubine, don't dislike Mu Nan for being dull. This is the first time I came to Luoyang...it's very different from Anxi...Mu Nan is afraid of making jokes."

Concubine Li smiled with satisfaction when she saw her innocent and pleasant appearance, and she respected her so much.

As she said that, she glanced at Huaiqing again, and said with a stronger smile: "I heard that there are distinguished guests today, so I asked people to clean up the Yihe Hall early in the morning. Mu Nan, look, the big red sandalwood How about the green and green bronze tripod placed on the carving table? I found this from the storeroom of Linqiu Palace on purpose, but I made a fool of myself."

Mu Nan smiled and said: "The concubine really favored Mu Nan, this bronze tripod is about three feet high, which Mu Nan has never seen before."

Hearing Concubine Li's words, Princess Huaiqing's complexion became a little darker...

Heh... Concubine Li, what does this mean?
Is it to show off her power in assisting the harem in front of her?

Her eyes darkened.

If it wasn't for the vacant seat in the harem, how could she, Concubine Li, have such confidence?

A concubine still wants to be the queen mother? !
It really makes no sense!
Although the change in Princess Huaiqing's face was subtle, it certainly did not escape Mu Nan's eyes.

After these few words, Mu Nan also got a general idea of ​​the situation in the palace.

This concubine is not an ordinary character. As a concubine, she can manage the arrangement of the state banquet...

According to my understanding of the Great Zhou royal family, the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not passed away yet, right?
Looking at the radiant Concubine Li again, she thought to herself that the royal family of the Great Zhou had something interesting...

Princess Huai Shu on the side had already lost the mood to listen to gossip.

She has been confined in Yingxia Palace for more than a month.

After finally getting out of the Yingxia Palace, I didn't expect such an extremely enchanting Princess Anxi to come to this palace!
Princess Huai Shu looked at Mu Nan who was smiling, and curled her lips slightly.

So what if you look good?Does Israel serve?

The majestic princess is not the number one in the flower building!

Although she was disdainful, her eyes were looking at the pair of wishful hairpins with white jade inlaid with red coral beads in Mu Nan's bun...

I'm afraid that my most precious jewelry can't compare to this red coral Ruyi hairpin, right?

There was also the glittering golden dress, which dazzled her eyes under the illumination of the palace lantern.

Is this made of gold and silver threads?
Here, the state banquets in the Hall of Yihe and the Hall of Yonghe have already been full of joy and joy, and the monarch and ministers are having a good time.

In the Lixiu Palace, some of the new ladies who entered the palace were standing outside the palace gate listening to the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, or some were packing their dresses and jewelry in the inner room.

Before there are no ranking points, everyone wants to live in this Lixiu Palace.

In the inner room, He Lan was about to take out the banana-leaf qin that Jiang Jinyan had given him and wipe it.

Suddenly, a sweet voice came from behind.

"Sister, this piano looks really good!"

He Lan was surprised for a moment, then turned around and saw behind her was a woman wearing a pleated phoenix-tailed skirt with long sleeves that stretched to the floor, with a pretty face and delicate eyebrows.

She secretly thought that this is also the beautiful girl who entered the palace together, and then said with a smile: "I made you laugh."

The woman also smiled and said, "Sister, I'm from Jiangnan, Wen Chunxiao, sister just call me Chunxiao."

He Lan put the banana leaf piano in the brocade bag in his hand on the small mahogany table beside him.

She raised her head and smiled and said, "I'm from Dingzhou, you can just call me He Lan."

He Lan saw Wen Chunxiao staring at the banana-leaf qin on the small mahogany table again, so he stepped aside and said, "You know the qin too? Do you want to try it?"

Wen Chunxiao smiled sweetly at her, and sat behind the small mahogany table, stroking the strings of the qin with both hands, the melodious sound of the qin was already flowing in the inner room.

He Lan was slightly surprised that it was Jiang Jinyan who asked him to practice Guangling San!

Just as I was amazed, a teaching nun in a brown palace dress came in from outside.

Priestess Yin didn't bother to come to Lixiu Palace.

Because this Lixiu Palace is the place where the not-too-high-status ladies stay, but she thought about the order sent by Concubine Li, so she didn't dare to be careless anymore.

This He Lan is the beautiful girl that Concubine Li told her to take extra care of, so she must be flying to the top!

Most of the beautiful girls in Lixiu Palace will become nobles in the future, and at most they will only reach the status of Jieyu.

It's just that I don't know, what kind of luck can this Miss He family who has been taken care of by Concubine Li do?
The nun looked at the two beautiful women in the inner room, and said with a smile: "Which young lady is Miss He from Dingzhou?"

After being stunned for a moment, He Lan stood up and saluted, "Did Madam ask me for something?"

Wen Chunxiao also stopped what he was doing, and looked at the teaching mother with a smile.

But now that nanny is only focusing on currying favor with He Lan, so she naturally turns a blind eye to Wen Chunxiao.

Wen Chunxiao was not annoyed, she still smiled sweetly.

The nanny smiled at He Lan: "Young master, you can go with the old man."

He Lan didn't know why, but seeing her easy-going attitude, she smiled and walked out of the inner room with her.

Wen Chunxiao, who was behind him, smiled when he saw the two of them walking away, and plucked the strings under his hand.

The chaotic sound of the piano came out of the inner room sharply, and the beautiful girls in the yard frowned and stared at the figure they saw in the window...

At this time, in Wutong Garden, the winter sun was shining warmly on the courtyard.

Jiang Jinyan, who was dressed in a plain snow silk skirt, was sitting on a stone bench covered with a thick fox fur mattress. The sunlight reflected on her jade-like face, which immediately became brighter.

At this time, Yuxiang from Broken Yuxuan announced and entered Wutong Garden.

She held a brocade box and said: "Before Miss Biao left, she sent her servants to send it to Missy. Miss Biao also said that she would like to thank Missy for taking care of her these days."

Seeing that it was Yuxiang who was talking back and forth, Jiang Jinyan knew that He Lan had brought Yuwen into the palace.

She took the brocade box, raised her eyes and asked, "Miss Biao is not missing anything?"

Yuwen shook her head and said: "Miss Biao said that everything is complete, and she also took away the banana leaf piano that the eldest lady gave her."

Jiang Jinyan nodded, but secretly thought that he should find a time to hand over Yuwen's contract of sale to He Lan.

She can feel more at ease in employing people in the palace.

Jiang Jinyan glanced at Yuxiang, "Okay, you can step back, and I will take good care of my aunt in the future."

Yuxiang quickly saluted in response, bowed and retreated.

Opening the brocade box, it turned out to be a few exquisitely embroidered kerchiefs, which indeed took a lot of thought.

"Is Jin Yan doing better now?"

Yu Qingqian, who was dressed in a flowery skirt, walked into the yard, walked towards Jiang Jinyan with a smile.

Jiang Jinyan just closed the brocade box, looked at Yu Qing in front of him with a slight smile and said, "I didn't expect...the Miao Chun Tang opened today, you are a busy person and came to my place first."

Xue Yan was coming out of the inner room with a brocade-studded woolen cloak, when she saw Yu Qingqian coming, she said, "Miss Yu is here, but our miss was..."

Jiang Jinyan smiled helplessly, "Xue Yan... You'd better go to the kitchen and have a look at the jujube and barley soup, don't get confused again."

Xue Yan said angrily: "Miss Yu, take a look..."

After hearing what the two of them said, Yu Qingqian understood that Jin Yan must be feeling unwell.

She sat down solemnly, and put her hand on Jiang Jinyan's wrist.

"It is true that you are weak from the pulse condition. You are not in good health. The injury last time was really serious. If you don't make up for it..."

Jiang Jinyan said with a helpless smile: "I know...the root cause of the disease will fall...This warming and tonic medicinal material is something I dare not forget every day."

As she said that, she said to Xueyan beside her: "I have to go back to Miaochun Hall for whatever I say today."

Xue Yan pouted.

Yu Qingqian chuckled, "Forget it, there may not be many people here today, just go and have a look."

As she spoke, she instructed Bai Zhi who was beside her: "Go to Miao Chun Tang and talk to shopkeeper Huang first, and I will go with Miss Jiang later."

Bai Zhi hurriedly nodded and retreated.

At this time, in the bamboo forest side courtyard of Duke Anguo's mansion, a man dressed as a clerk made a notification and entered Xu Junyan's study.

He cupped his hands and said, "Master, near the Miaochuntang that opened today... it seems that there are people from Anxi."

Xu Junyan behind the desk suddenly raised his head when he heard the words Miao Chuntang.

Miaochuntang is also the original Pinxiangxuan in Jiang Jinyan's hands.

After hearing this, Xu Ming knew that the master would not be going to the Suzaku camp today.

Miaochuntang is the newly opened medical clinic of Miss Jiang, if something goes wrong in this medical clinic, how can the master ignore it?
