The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 310 Calendula
The next day, Lin Lan paid a visit to the new queen at Kunning Palace.After performing Liusu's three-kneeling and three-prostration ceremony, they bowed to Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Xian respectively. After the ceremony was completed, the queen gave her a seat, and all eyes were on her.

All the concubines were somewhat unhappy because of Lin Lan's sudden conferment, but most of them didn't explode on the spot because of Wannao's face.

On the contrary, Luo Fu and Rou Jiaguan had nothing to hide from their mouths, and they sneered a lot.

Although Yide reprimanded them, it was not good to hurt the face of the old ones for the sake of the newcomers, as long as they did not speak too much, they were allowed to do so.

Lin Lan served Empress Renxiao in the past, but Luo Fu kept muttering about it.

At that time, everyone was quiet, and she was the only one who flicked her nails boredly, and said with a three-pointed sarcasm: "The vision of the concubine Wan is not as good as that of Queen Renxiao. I heard that Lan promised to serve Queen Renxiao in the past. At that time, he was just a coquettish person, thinking of seducing the emperor, he was sent to Xinzheku by Empress Renxiao's insight. Concubine Pianwan was so courageous that she dared to accept someone into your palace. No, he picked up Gao Zhi'er Then he climbed up and wanted to sit on an equal footing with us."

Wan Yu smiled indifferently, and the double-branched golden plum hairpin on her head trembled slightly: "How can this palace stand shoulder to shoulder with Empress Renxiao's virtuousness? No one knows, Empress Renxiao is the best at seeing opportunities, and is the most farsighted in the palace. Lord."

Hearing this, Rong Yue sneered slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, it is a pity that it is difficult for a sage to heal himself, and there are not many fortune tellers. How far-sighted Empress Renxiao is, she never expected that the Li family had evil intentions in the past. Take her life."

"Young concubine, please be careful!" Luo Fu said with a look of hesitation, "How can the former empress allow you to talk about it?"

Rong Yue said indifferently: "Speak carefully? Now the queen is sitting on the phoenix throne, if Mrs. Luo understands the word "Shen Yan", you should stop talking about your poor elder sister."

Rong Yue's words were somewhat offensive to the former empress, not to mention Luo Fu, everyone's expressions were embarrassing.

Yide saw that the atmosphere in the hall became more and more frozen, so she couldn't help changing her color, her willow eyebrows were furrowed with a smile, which made her look more dignified: "Yesterday, I was discussing with my sisters, what are some delicate thoughts about the New Year's Eve?" And speaking with Ben Gong, because Eunuch Liang brought us the good news of adding a newcomer, the discussion was put on hold in half. Now that there is anything left to say, let’s talk about it together, and let’s discuss it.”

Rou Jia said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a good idea. Yesterday the concubine asked about it, and heard that Lan agreed to be favored because she danced the emperor's heart in the Qianqing Palace, and she got this great blessing If not, let Lan agree to dance again, which will also open our eyes. If it is excellent, we will perform a dance on the New Year's Day, and the emperor and the two empress dowagers will be happy."

Xiuyan tilted her head slightly, and the velvet flowers dotted on her temples hung down with fine tassels, floating gently above her dimple: "The concubines mentioned by Yibi are also a little curious. It is said that there are not a few people who are good at dancing in the palace, so I say yes." Concubine Xi is well, she used to be favored by the emperor for a long time because of her graceful dancing posture, but I wonder who is better than Concubine Lan?"

Xi Concubine Hesheli Chunying hurriedly waved her hand, and made a short and sad gesture: "Sister Rong, don't laugh at my sister, after all these years of being pampered in the palace, it is not as good as Lan Xu's slender and light body, and now this ugly appearance , and dance again, I don't know how the emperor will dislike concubines."

"Nalan agrees, you can dance." Luo Fu raised Juan Zi to cover her mouth and smiled: "It is not fun to come to the Empress's Palace every day to pay her respects, since you danced well with the Emperor, let us have a look. "

After the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

Lin Lan is the concubine personally appointed by the emperor, not the maidservant whom she used to call around.

The cynicism and ridicule of the crowd, driving ducks to the shelves, is just thinking that she is mocking her as a dancer, how can they think highly of her?

Wanyu looked at Lin Lan, lowered her voice and said, "Lan agrees, you can dance if you want, if you don't, no one can force you."

Lin Lan nodded, and suddenly stood up and said respectfully: "The concubine is showing her shame in front of all the sisters. In the past, the concubine Er Niang taught the concubine the skill of 'tea dance', how about dancing now?"

Luo Fu was surprised when he heard the words: "What kind of cheap dance is that? I've never heard of it before. Just hearing the name makes me feel vulgar."

Lin Lan glanced at the slightly cool teacup on Luo Fu's table, took two steps forward to pick it up, and replied respectfully: "Lord Luo's marigold tea is half cold, if you don't mind, I will use it as a cup of tea." Dance." She said, got Luo Fu's tacit consent, picked up the teacup and began to dance.

Standing in the palm of the hand, the teacup dances with Lin Lan, but it is as stable as Mount Tai. The half-full tea does not spill a drop, which is really amazing.

Just dancing in front of Wanyu, Lin Lan suddenly raised her eyebrows and winked at Wanyu, Wanyu was wondering what she meant, and saw Linlan's eyebrows sweeping over her toes, and then looked at Luo Fu's seat, her heart immediately fell apart. After understanding a little bit, he secretly smiled.

When Lin Lan danced around and jumped to her side again, she suddenly tripped over Lin Lan's feet, the trip didn't actually touch Lin Lan, but she jumped straight forward with an 'ahh' Go, the cup of calendula tea in his hand splashed drippingly on Luo Fu's face.Even on the delicate forehead hair, there are now many withered marigolds.

Everyone roared with laughter, Luo Fu was very angry, with one hand fiddled with the marigolds on her hair, and with the other, she pointed at Lin Lan who had fallen to the ground and cursed: "Bitch! You did it on purpose!"

Rong Yue's white and slender fingers swayed slightly on the delicate tip of her nose, she suppressed a bit of sneer and said to Wan Yu: "Concubine Wan, why did you make a move to overthrow Lan and agree?"

Wannai widened her eyebrows and pretended to be suspicious: "Your concubine was joking, I didn't mean to make a mistake, but it's just that I feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time." She got up and helped Lin Lan, and asked with concern: "Is it okay for Lan to promise?" , did you fall?"

Linlan looked at Wanyu with a full face of grievance, shook her head cowardly, but made a face when her eyes met her, and then said sadly: "The concubine is fine, it is Luo Guiren"

Luo Fu's makeup was all over her face, her clothes and sleeves were full of tea stains, and the marigolds on her forehead didn't fall off as she fiddled with them, but instead stuck to her hair, she looked like a street shrew, The chest heaved violently, pointing at Linlan and cursing: "You poor maid, look at me killing you!"

She was about to have a fit as she spoke, but she raised her hand halfway, and then Yide stopped laughing and said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, is Luo Guiren confused? I'm still sitting here, what are you going to do?"

When I was in trouble, Xiuyan laughed even worse: "Lord Luo, I see you, I'd better go back to the palace to clean it up first, and then dry it under the sun to get rid of the mildew. I didn't get the marigold flower." It is really a wonderful sight to take root and sprout between your temples. Where do you need to prepare any programs during the New Year's Eve, and where do you stop, the emperor and the two empress dowagers will not be happy to bloom?"

Luo Fu gave up in shame and indignation, covered her face and wept and left Kunning Palace.
