There is a big sister in the harem

Chapter 70

"Let's go!" Dressed in fancy clothes, when she turned around, she was a little embarrassed.

Li Yan stared straight at the two people in the hall, a certain part of her heart began to throb again, her ten fingers dug into the edge of the tray, and when she regained consciousness, Feng Feiyue had already walked a long way.She stepped back, looked at the selfless two people in the hall, took a deep breath, and followed Feng Feiyue away.

"Niang Niang..." After a long time, Li Yan dared to call out.

Concubine Feng put her hands down by her sides, and her hurried steps slowed down. When she caught up, she stopped with a whoosh, and the people behind almost bumped into her unsuspectingly, "Queen..."

She turned around, her eyes fell on the tray in the woman's hand, she stared at the bowl of lotus seed soup that had already cooled down, and said in a toneless voice, "Is it heavy?"

Li Yan didn't understand, so she opened her eyes and said, "No, it's not heavy."

"Stupid." She picked up the celadon bowl casually, "It's cold, what are you doing?"

Seeing that there seemed to be movement in her hand, Li Yan hurriedly stopped her and said, "No, ma'am, it's you..."

Before the words were finished, the bowl of lotus seed soup had been thrown far away. Although it was cold, it still had some warmth. When it fell on the snow, it also melted the pure color.The celadon bowl circled on the ground and didn't stop until it hit the corner of the wall.

"Your Majesty..." Li Yan suddenly felt regretful, she froze with one hand in mid-air and did not take it back.

"What's the use of keeping things you don't need?" Feng Feiyue said resolutely, the two stood under the goose-yellow gauze lantern, and the red dress covered their bodies, which was no longer as gorgeous as Yuqiao said, on the contrary , but with a few shadows.Goose feather snow fell on his shoulders, and it didn't take long for half of his body to feel cold.

"Go back to the palace." She dusted off the snowflakes and flicked the corners of her skirt a few times. Half of the corridor was covered with snow, while the other half was still covered with cold bluestone slabs.Feng Feiyue didn't look at her steps, she walked on the thick snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Stepping on it, the sunken snowflakes are enough to wrap the entire ankle, and the coolness rushes from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Li Yan remained silent, following behind with an empty tray.

Concubine Feng did not return directly to Fengyu Palace when she said she would go back to the palace.

She walked through the harem along the ten-step corridor.The solitary lamp raised her palm, and the bustling courtyards were imprinted in her eyes, and they were already countless.Concubine Feng would stop every time she passed by, and read the plaque on the bedroom hall silently.It is said that there are 36 palaces and 72 courtyards here, but the waiting is the same man?
"Ma'am, shall we go back?" Li Yan's legs were sore and she could barely walk.

Feng Feiyue stopped in front of a palace gate. Inside, candles were brightly lit. Even the pagoda trees in the courtyard were hung with palace lanterns to guide the way. All you need to do is follow the light when you walk in. "Li Yan, what do you say?" Can these people wait for the emperor?"

The woman standing behind her wished she could nod her head, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have seen too much. Born in the harem, the wealth and glory are endless, but if you are unlucky, I am afraid that it will be in this life." It’s hard to see the emperor.”

Inside, a melodious and mournful sound of the pipa suddenly came. Feng Feiyue stood in front of the hall, her lips twitched suddenly on her beautiful face, but her smile was extremely indifferent.

"Go back to the palace!" She repeated again, Li Yan didn't know where she was going this time, but obediently followed behind, all the way back to her bedroom.

The next day, Li Yan took care of Concubine Fengyue carefully, but saw that she had a normal expression on her face, as if she had forgotten what happened last night, so she calmed down a little.

Walking out of Fenglian Palace, I heard the voice of my aunt's teaching all the way. She was strict without losing her prestige. Concubine Fengyue stood in front of a palace gate and saw a group of young girls of similar age standing in a few rows, looking docile.

"What is this for?" she asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this is an annual talent show. These are all beautiful girls sent from outside the palace. They have to be trained by each aunt before they can face the saint and accept the emperor's bestowal."

Once a year, aren't you afraid that the harem will be overcrowded?

The two walked forward one after another, passing by a hall, a woman hurriedly ran towards them, and happened to bump into Concubine Fengyue.

"Ouch..." The woman yelled out first, staggered and hit the wall.

"How did you walk?" Li Yan frowned and shouted.

Seeing Concubine Fengyue, the woman looked flustered, bowed her knees and bowed, "Ministers see the empress."

"Are you a show girl?" Looking at her clothes, Feng Feiyue raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes... Minnv is right." She was apprehensive, and she prostrated herself on the ground.

"It's Xiu Nu, why isn't it in Chu Xiu Palace?" Li Yan pointed at her, "Sneaky, what are you doing?"

"No, Minnv..." She clasped her hands, and after her fingertips pierced her palms, she felt a slight pain, which forced herself to settle down, "Minnv just lost her way for a while, and I'm afraid it will delay the time, so I'm doing this now." Like a fire."

Li Yan obviously didn't believe it, and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but was blocked by Concubine Feng beside her, "Okay, get up, now in Chuxiu Palace, my aunt has already started teaching etiquette, if you want to come, you are the only one missing."

"Yes, Madam Xie." The woman smiled sweetly, Concubine Feng looked at the beautiful face in front of her, and asked casually, "What's your name?"

She was startled immediately, and hesitated, but she had no choice but to say, "Minister Zhixuan."

Concubine Feng read and heard this, she rolled her lips and smiled, then nodded, "Good name, are you going to Chuxiu Palace?"

Zhixuan saw that she had a friendly look and she didn't have the airs of a queen, so she bowed and saluted, "Minister, hurry up now."

Feng Feiyue stretched out her hands that were tucked in her wide sleeves, pointed to the distance and said, "Go straight ahead, turn the right corner and you will be there."

When the woman heard this, her expression seemed unexpected, she smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, my lady, I will leave."

Turning around, it wasn't until the woman walked a long way and turned the corner according to Feng Feiyue's instructions that Li Yan was puzzled, "Mother, the Chuxiu Palace is not in that direction."

She smoothed the folds of her cuffs, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "Would a beautiful woman entering the palace not even know which direction Chuxiu Palace is? Even if she doesn't know, she can still walk around like this at will? She doesn't know the rules , could it be that my aunt never even taught me such a trivial matter?"

"Indeed." Li Yan took the words, "A beautiful girl entering the palace for the first time, the first thing I will explain is the dormitory where the empresses of each palace live, and the temperament and preferences of those favored concubines. , how could she get lost here."

Concubine Feng looked at the direction she ran from before, and saw that the front door was ajar, as if she was in a hurry and forgot to close it.She walked forward, Li Yan followed beside her, opened the door of the palace with one hand, and walked in.

Inside, it is not full of things like the usual halls, on the contrary, it is empty. On the opposite side, there is a table that is as long as a person, full of scrolls of picture albums.

Concubine Feng Yue went up the steps, stroking the Xuanhua tied up above her head with her palm.

"Your Majesty, these should be the portraits of all the beautiful women." Li Yan followed, watching her pick up one of them and open it.

"The daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment..." She muttered silently, looking at the portrait carefully.

"This is the rule in the palace. Attach a book of portraits, and beside it, you must indicate the identities of the beautiful women, so that the emperor will know when he canonize it."

She withdrew her hand and tied the ribbon, "The emperor's canonization, doesn't it depend on the identities of these beautiful girls?"

"Your Majesty, this is natural." Li Yan has lived in the palace for a long time and knows a lot about nature. "Sometimes when the emperor chooses a concubine, it depends on which side needs to be strengthened. Even the marriage of relatives of the country is the same."

Concubine Feng Yue picked up another picture. It seems that Jun Yue became the queen because of this relationship.

The girl who caught the eye was only considered pretty in appearance, but she had an aura of her own.

Putting down her hands, Li Yan tied the straps back on the pair, and Feng Feiyue opened the side parts to look at them, and she really saw a few beauties, one of them had crimson lips that were not tinged with red, skin like creamy fat, and a plump figure. Looking at that face again, it was the Zhixuan who bumped into her just now.

"This portrait is a bit more beautiful than me."

"Your Majesty..." Li Yan chuckled, "I must have bribed the painter. Even if the Emperor sees it, he won't blame him."

Concubine Feng read it clearly, and after rolling up the portrait, she didn't put it back on the table, but just stuffed it into the wide sleeve.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Li Yan didn't expect her to act like this, and she was dumbfounded.

Concubine Feng read with a calm demeanor, and it was stated on the portrait that Zhixuan was the daughter of Li Shangshu, and Li Shangshu was the empress dowager's descendant, so she must not contribute to the influence of the two empress dowagers. "It's just a painting, so forget it if you throw it away."

Li Yan could understand it after thinking about it carefully. Moreover, the emperor and the empress dowagers of the two palaces were naturally at odds.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Li Yansheng urged after arranging the picture scrolls on the table neatly one by one, fearing that things might change suddenly.

Concubine Feng nodded, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the two of them had just stepped down the long white marble steps, when they heard a creaking sound from the door of the hall, there was nowhere to hide, and saw an elderly eunuch walking in step by step.Looking at the two with inverted triangular eyes, he stepped forward a few steps until he saw the figure clearly, then he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "I see the empress."

She folded her hands in front of her body, and the long and narrow picture scroll was hidden in her sleeves, but there was no trace of it showing, "Get up."

"Thank you, ma'am!" The eunuch stood up, not daring to stand in front of him, so he moved to the side.

"Did you see the bird that the Empress raised just yesterday?" Li Yan suddenly had a quick wit, and even Concubine Feng Yue was stunned. Click to give some thumbs up.

The eunuch didn't know, he went in, blinked his eyes for a long time, and then replied, "Slave, I didn't see it."

"Your Majesty, we've been looking all the way, and we probably aren't here, so let's look elsewhere." Li Yan stepped forward and supported Concubine Fengyue's wrist, "It's getting late, the emperor can't wait for you, so we should be in a hurry Got angry."
