Concubine Biography

Chapter 11

After one month in the mansion, Fu'er has already gotten used to the indifference of everyone when paying her respects.Also, facing a concubine who fell out of favor, it's really not worth spending too much attention on.

Fu'er sat in her seat, silently concealing her figure, the whole main room appeared harmonious amid everyone's deliberate fun, the only quieter place was Fu'er and Huang's side.

Fu'er's slightly lowered eyes fell on Huang's hands folded on her knees. The skin was as thick as fat, and the white jade was flawless. Her slender fingers were placed peacefully, and her nails were neatly trimmed.

A woman like Huang's just sits here and has her own air. Even if she keeps silent, everyone's eyes are still involuntarily attracted to her.

A sharp gaze captured her, Fuer sensitively felt the gaze from above, Fuer lowered her head again, shrunk herself even lower, that gaze did not give in at all, the oppressive Fuer could hardly breathe angry.

Huang's body moved slightly, and she turned to Fu'er's side, that gaze suddenly moved away, and Fu'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up slightly.

Sitting obliquely above her were Su Shi and Yang Shi.Fu'er swept over lightly, but felt something was wrong again, and took another look, and there was another person, Yuan Shi who was standing behind Su Shi.

After greeting each other every day, you have to have breakfast at Su Shi's place. Su Shi is considered a generous mistress. Originally, except for the side concubine, the rest of the concubines had to stand and wait on her, but at Su Shi's place, there are only two concubines. Yuan Shi and Wang Shi were not allowed to eat together at the table, and Fu'er and the others could have breakfast before leaving after setting up chopsticks.

But if Li Jiarong stayed overnight, the next day's greeting would be skipped.Li Jiarong stayed in Wang's room last night, so he didn't see Wang this morning.

It is important to eat without talking while sleeping. After eating in silence, everyone will chat with Mrs. Su for a while according to the usual practice.

After rinsing their mouths, the maidservants brought out some tea, Su had used it, then she glanced at the crowd and said, "The emperor rewarded me with a pot of rare and top-quality peacock chrysanthemum, but I didn't dare to do it alone, so I planned to give it to you at ten." In the future, we will invite a few princes and concubines to come to our mansion to appreciate chrysanthemums, this kind of banquet is rarely held in our mansion, nothing can go wrong, it’s just that it’s a little too thin to just appreciate chrysanthemums, what can my sisters do?”

Li Jiarong's eldest son, Li Peiyuan, had a cold again recently, Yang took care of her all night, Su spared her greetings for several days, and when Li Peiyuan got better, Yang's greetings resumed.

Maybe it's because she's too tired, Yang Shi didn't look very energetic today, even the makeup couldn't hide the bruises under the corners of her eyes.

Fu'er is a little funny, she has been in the mansion for more than a month, but she has never seen Li Peiyuan.

Yang's eyes lit up, "Will Princess Min come too?"

Su Shi looked at her with a smile, "Princess Min will definitely come. You two sisters have always been close. If I have a younger sister to greet Princess Min for me, I can rest assured."

Liu's eyes rolled, "My lord, are only the concubines here?"

If only the concubine came, then concubines like them would not be eligible to attend.

Su smiled kindly, "Of course it's not just the concubine, the side concubines will come. There are also wives and young ladies from various prefectures, you should also help greet them."

Mrs. Liu immediately agreed with a smile, "Princess Wang please don't worry, I will definitely handle my errands well."

Mrs. Su nodded in satisfaction, looked at Mrs. Huang for a while, and then said as if thinking of something, "Sister Huang has outstanding looks and is good at playing the piano. Why don't you show it off to show that our palace is full of talents."

She actually treated Huang as a family actress to add to the fun at the banquet!

Fu'er noticed that Huang's fingers shrunk, concubines like them were nothing in the eyes of the mistress.

Fu'er suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

"Oh, it's good to be daring. Younger sister Huang has such a color, what's the fun in just playing the piano, how about performing a dance again, wouldn't it make it more obvious that the mother knows how to use people well." Yang laughed contemptuously aside.

For so long, Fu'er has discovered that Mrs. Huang is the target of Mrs. Su and Mrs. Yang in the ring. Mrs. Huang's beauty makes her always be teased and ridiculed by others. Mrs. Su hates her, Mrs. Yang fears her, Everyone has to talk about her appearance, for fear that others will not know that Huang is a womanizer.

I don't blame Su and Yang. The other women in this mansion are either married by the emperor or have a political marriage. Only the Huang family is a woman brought back by Li Jiarong when he passed by a small county on an official business. And not only that, I heard that the Huang family It was originally intended to be given to Ping Guogong by his father, but Li Jiarong happened to pass by. Huang did not want to be given to an octogenarian, so he successfully brought himself to Li Jiarong's side with a piece of piano.For her, Li Jiarong and Duke Heping still look at each other with disgust.

Chunlan had inquired about these things from Nanny Liu. After hearing this, Fu'er found it inconceivable that with Li Jiarong's desolate temperament, he would offend his clan for a woman?
"How to know people and make good use of them?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Fu'er was thinking wildly when Li Jiarong strode in.

Su Clan stepped forward to salute, and the whole room knelt down on the floor. Before Fu'er could react, she just froze for a moment, and her body spontaneously knelt down with everyone.

Li Jiarong's cold eyes swept across her, and seeing Fu'er's blank face and dull eyes, he couldn't help being angry, this woman is still so blank!

Li Jiarong walked by with strides, and Mrs. Su went up to serve tea in person, and then sat down under Li Jiarong.

"What were you talking about just now?" Li Jiarong raised his hand, and then everyone stood up and sat down.

Mrs. Yang smiled coquettishly, "The concubine is arranging a chrysanthemum appreciation party in a few days. The empress knows how to use people well, and she plans to ask sister Huang to present a qin and dance for fun."

Mrs. Su glanced at Mrs. Yang coldly, looked at Li Jiarong's expression, and said cautiously, "Master, it's a little monotonous for me to just appreciate the chrysanthemums. Why don't I make a lottery on the day of the chrysanthemum appreciation, and the women's families of all the prefectures chanted Composing poems and composing music, even if you think about it, it has a special taste. Sister Huang's piano skills are outstanding..."

Li Jiarong raised her hand and stopped her words.Su's eyes were lowered, and she hated Yang to death in her heart.

"What do you think, Mrs. Huang?" Li Jiarong looked at Mrs. Huang.

Everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Huang. Fu'er looked at Li Jiarong and then at Mrs. Huang, not understanding what Li Jiarong was going to do.

Huang raised her head slightly, her eyes were calm, her red lips parted lightly, "I will obey the prince's orders in everything."

The sound is like pearls and emeralds.

Fu'er looked at Li Jiarong, only to see Li Jiarong drooping her eyes in thought for a moment and said, "My concubine's method...Since that's the case, you should prepare well that day, and let's sing and dance for fun."

Fu'er was stunned.

Ecstasy flashed in Su's eyes, and he looked at Yang proudly.Yang Shi bit her lower lip resentfully, and lowered her head.

Li Jiarong looked around for a while, his eyes stayed on Fu'er for a moment, then he looked at Su Shi and said, "What else is there to arrange?"

Mrs. Su quickly replied, "Master, this time the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting needs to be carefully prepared. I think that the concubines and wives of each mansion will be entertained by me and Sister Yang, and the ladies of each mansion will ask Sister Liu to put more thought into it." Sister Chen, she..."

Su Shi hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Fu'er. Fu'er really didn't want to participate in this kind of banquet. Seeing Su Shi looking over, Fu'er immediately knelt down tremblingly, and said hesitantly, "Master Hui, concubine, concubine I always feel unwell these days, I'm afraid I've caught the wind and cold, so I don't dare to bump into the nobleman."

Li Jiarong frowned, and looked at her coldly, "Do you feel unwell?"

Fu'er tightened the handkerchief nervously, her voice trembling a little, "Master Hui, yes... yes."

Li Jiarong's brows were deeply twisted into a "Chuan", disgust flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Since you are not feeling well, stay in your own yard and don't come out if you have nothing to do."

Fu'er heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down Nuonuo.

Li Jiarong looked at Yang Shi again, "How is Peiyuan doing?"

Yang said with a charming smile, "Thank you for thinking about it, Peiyuan has been feeling much better recently, but I just want to see my father every day, and this morning I said that I dreamed of my father last night."

After all, Yang looked at Su's pale face with satisfaction.

Li Jiarong didn't notice it at all, and his tone softened a lot, "I'll have lunch in your room later."

Yang's face was full of joy, and she repeatedly said yes.

Fu'er sat watching her eyes, nose, nose, nose and heart, Li Jiarong quickly glanced at Fu'er, and then moved away.

After a few gossips, Li Jiarong left. As soon as Li Jiarong left, Su Clan immediately lost her mood and brought tea directly.

After leaving the main room, Mrs. Liu smiled and said to Mrs. Yang, "Your Majesty has been working very hard to take care of the eldest son recently. I have been thinking about a new pattern these days, so I want to make some pairs of socks for the eldest son. Tomorrow Then send it to the empress, if the eldest son likes it, I will make more."

Yang smiled slightly, "Then thank my sister first."

As usual, Fu'er stood with her hands down and waited for Yang's departure, but today Huang was uncharacteristically walking past Yang with her head held high and her chest held high.

Watching her leave, Mrs. Liu rushed up and said, "This Mrs. Huang really thinks of herself as someone else, and thinks that the Lord is looking up to her by letting her go to cheer her up? Don't you think of her as a third-rate... …”

Fu'er frowned slightly.

Mrs. Yang turned her head and gave Liu a cold look, "Sister Liu, you should be more careful when you speak in this mansion."

Mrs. Liu got a cold face, and retreated with a smile.

Yang Shi walked away gracefully, Fu'er didn't want to face Liu Shi, so she greeted her and left in a hurry.

Back in her courtyard, Fu'er rubbed her forehead, feeling that each of the women in the mansion was more complicated than one, and she had to escape earlier.

Chunmei came back with her greeting, and seeing that Fuer had nothing to say, she packed up Fuer's clothes and went out.Although there is a laundry room in the mansion, Chunmei and Chunlan have to wash Fu'er's personal clothes before sending them to the laundry room.

They don't mention Fu'er, but they understand that it is because they are afraid that others will find out about her childhood and make trouble in the future.

Fu'er opened a copy of the "Heart Sutra" and read it silently. Being content and always happy is her strength, but keeping a pure heart is also her homework that she must do when she is depressed.
