The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 785
In the early morning of the second day, the new concubine entered the palace, and Empress Ulanara Jingmin brought all the concubines into the Yonghe Palace to invite An Wanlai.

When I came, I saw that the concubines were serving with maids, so I ordered: "The Queen Mother doesn't like crowds, you all wait outside."

The maids agreed to go down, at that time Wanyu was putting on makeup and changing clothes in the bedroom, Shuangruo told everyone to wait for a while.

After she explained the matter, she entered the bedroom. The queen sat down and said: "Today we are here to greet the queen mother for the first time. There are some things that you can understand in your heart. You must have a door on your mouth. If the queen mother is not hesitant, pass it on It's not good to be in the ear of the emperor."

The noble concubine Nian Xiyao, who was seated next, drank a cup of tea and said calmly: "The empress is taking care of us. Normally, if you don't mention this matter, no one would dare to say it. Now that you mention it, it will make us paranoid."

Xiyao and the Empress used to have a lot of quarrels in the Qian Mansion, Xi Concubine Niu Hulu Ruoxian saw it, she smiled and said nothing, she just went to the tea on the table and watched coldly.

On the contrary, Qi Concubine Li Wanzhen has always been on good terms with the Empress, and hearing Xi Yao's words were thorny, she had to chime in a few words: "The Empress's sake is for us, and it's a crime for you to say."

Xiyao raised her eyebrows to look at her, and said with a wanton smile: "I think it's who is talking, it's Concubine Qi. If you don't say it, I forgot. There is a word 'wan' in your name, which is the same as the empress dowager's boudoir. There are so many conflicting words, the emperor asked you to change this name a few days ago, why did your old name still be written on the board of the entrusted residence yesterday?"

She let out two soft 'tsk's, leaned back on the chair loosely, and sighed: "Wanzhen? I thought your name was a bit vulgar when I entered the Qiang Mansion, but you were just Yong The side Fujin of the Prince's Mansion didn't matter at first. Now she has become a serious imperial concubine, and everything she does is in the emperor's face, don't make a joke, it will really be a crime."

"You..." Wanzhen was secretly angry, turned her face away with a muffled snort, and ignored her.

Xiyao looked around the palace, Yang Juan pressed the powder floating on the tip of his nose, coughed twice and said, "Empress Empress, this is the first time I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager's Palace today, why don't you see Concubine Yu?"

The queen said: "I didn't see her when I woke up in the morning, and I have ordered the palace people to go and see her. She is weak, and she was moved from the hidden mansion to the palace in the past two days. Maybe she is sick."

"Sick?" Xiyao snorted twice, and said with a strange air: "Oh, she took up this most unlucky thing by herself, but it's true."

"The queen mother is here."

Halfway through her words, the voice of entering the ceremony came from the bedroom.

Everyone immediately silenced and turned their gazes to the main door of the dormitory.

Seeing Wan Lai wearing a dark red Baifu Tuan Shou Xian Crane Cloak, hairpins on the sideburns and He Er Xian walking, crane hair and red lips slowly walking in with Shuang Ruo's support, her eyes are not angry and majestic, the queen hastily got up Standing up, he led all the concubines to kneel down to worship Fuli and said: "The ministers (concubines) and concubines please ask the Queen Mother to be safe and blessed."

Wan Lai took the first seat, and after receiving three kneeling and nine kowtows from everyone, she said calmly, "Ping Shen."

Everyone thanked En and got up and sat down again, Wan Yu first fixed her eyes on the queen: "You are new to the palace, are you still used to living there?"

The Queen replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother Lao took care of the arrangement, everything is fine."

Wanyu nodded, and took another look at Xiyao.

Xiyao met her gaze and Luxiao wanted to speak, but Wanyu quickly shifted her gaze to Wanzhen, and asked, "Concubine Qi, I haven't seen San Elder Brother for a long time, but you're getting stronger again?"

Wanyu left Xiyao aside, only caring about gossiping with Wanzhen, she naturally became secretly angry, and forcibly held back her silence.

Wan Zhen also saw Wan Lai's thoughts, took advantage of the situation and glanced at Xi Yao with a smile on her face, before replying: "The Empress Dowager is caring, she is stronger."

Wan Yu smiled warmly and said: "Hongshi used to be liked by the late emperor, and Ai's family too. If there is nothing to do on weekdays, tell him to come to the palace to visit Ai's family often." At this point, her eyes gave her a deep wink : "Wanzhen gave birth to a good son for the emperor."

The sound of Wanzhen is very deep, how can everyone in the audience not understand the meaning of Wanzhen?

It was nothing more than to tell Wanzhen that her name did not offend her, so Xiyao's name change, which he had been talking about for a long time, became vernacular.

Wanzhen was overjoyed, and responded repeatedly: "Wherever it is, it all depends on the blessing of the Empress Dowager."

Wan Lai gave an 'hmm' and ignored her, then looked at Concubine Xi Ruoxian, and said, "Look at Concubine Xi, she doesn't look quite like her when she was young." (It's really the introduction of the next book! Knock on the blackboard! Focus!)
Ruoxian caressed her cheek, and said softly: "It's not as good as when you were young. Ama often said that maybe Qiandi has been pampered and respected for many years, and she has become plump."

Hearing her words in Xiyao's ears, she made her laugh out loud, she glanced at Ruoxian's curvaceous Chu palace waist, then at Song Wenjiang, the concubine with big ears sitting beside her, and said ironically: " If Concubine Xi is plump, what is a concubine? It's not that she's plump."

This Song Wenjiang is also a slender woman, and she is quite good at dancing, she is a real beauty.

However, when he was in the residence for Ge Ge, he was seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, the root cause of the disease did not disappear, but he fell into the bad habit of greedy mouth.

On weekdays, I can eat three bowls of rice just for lunch. After a few years, I will become a round and fat woman.

She had low self-esteem because of this matter, Xi Yao made a mockery in public, causing the concubines to laugh everywhere, her cheeks immediately turned red as if scalded by boiling water, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to get in.

Wan Lai saw it in her eyes, cleared her throat and said, "Imperial Concubine, I have newly got lip balm, my eyes are red and I look at the festival, I think it suits you very well." Then she ordered Shuang Ruo to get it.

After hearing this, Xiyao got up happily and thanked her: "My concubine, thank the Queen Mother for her love."

Wan Yu looked at her with a smile, and only waited for Shuang Ruo to hand over the lipstick to Xi Yao before saying, "Try it and see if it suits you."

Xi Yao responded, and soon added new lip makeup.

Beauty is beauty, but the lip balm is a little greasy, if you don't pay attention while speaking, it will stick to the white teeth, making it ugly in an instant.

Xiyao looked at herself in the mirror for a while, frowned and said to Wanyu: "Queen Mother, this lip balm is good, but look at it." Her bright teeth were slightly exposed to Wanyu: "It is very easy to get on the teeth."

Wan Yu smiled and said: "If you don't speak, it won't be able to touch your white jade-like teeth."

Although Xiyao is not the most intelligent person among all the concubines, but when it comes to this point, how can she not hear the meaning behind the euphemism?
So she lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The concubine respectfully obeys the Queen Mother's instruction."

"Well, what are you doing?" Wan Yu smiled even more, and wrote lightly: "Your brother Nian Gengyao has made great contributions to the country, and you serve the emperor with all your heart. The reward from the Ai family is to love you, how can it be a teaching? "

Hearing this, Xi Yao was startled, and made a timid promise, and then sat down on the chair peacefully, without saying anything more.
