Madam Hou

Chapter 5

The emperor came out of the rockery leisurely, followed by Eunuch Li.

To be honest, the emperor is not ugly, with a big square face, thick eyebrows, wide nose and thick lips, and a figure of more than 170 centimeters by visual inspection. An unobtrusive passerby.It's just that for readers who can find beautiful men as soon as they flip through the novel, apart from being satisfied with power and power, the emperor's other external conditions are disappointing.

In fact, Emperor Jinghui cannot be blamed for this.It is said that Dayan's founding emperor was extremely ugly, and his queen was married when he was a cowherd before his development, and her beauty was limited. The throne was only passed down to the fourth generation of Emperor Jinghui, and there is no time to use beautiful women in the future. to neutralize the genes.

After Yanniang exclaimed in surprise, she saw the emperor leisurely coming out of the rockery, she was only in a daze for a while, then knelt down on both knees to salute the emperor.Yu Momo taught Yanniang the rules of saluting to the emperor, but at that time Yanniang felt that it was not necessary, so she didn't study it seriously. The salute was not so standard, but it was just a small flaw that didn't hurt.

As for why Yanniang recognizes the person in front of her as the emperor, it is necessary to mention the know-it-all.Yu Mo said, an adult man who can walk freely in the palace and doesn't look like his father-in-law is the emperor except the emperor.Yu Momo also said that in the territory of Dayan, there is no one else who can wear yellow embroidered five-clawed dragon clothes except the emperor.

The emperor saw the beautiful woman standing in the imperial garden for the first time, and felt that she had red lips, brows and eyebrows, as if he had seen her somewhere before.Looking at it a second time, I remembered that this was the woman I met in Hanyun Temple that day.The third time I saw her kneeling down and saluting in panic but trying her best to be calm, I felt that she had a graceful figure, incomparably beautiful, and the garden was full of exotic flowers and plants, all of which lost color in front of her. What he imagined was even more beautiful.A beauty is always pitiful, not to mention that the beauty in front of her is still trembling with trembling shoulders, like a snowy plum blossom trembling on a branch in winter, which is even more pitiful.

Eunuch Li, who was behind the emperor, waved the Buddha dust in his hand from his left hand to his right hand, and pretended to be stern with a sharp voice, "Who are you, how dare you trespass on the faint garden."

Yan Niang quickly replied: "Ministers dare not, Minnen followed Mrs. Yongning Hou to celebrate Concubine Shu's birthday, and the servant who came to welcome me and Mrs. asked the little palace maid to take me to Yilan Courtyard. I never wanted to get separated from the little maid, and the daughter of the people lost her way."

When Emperor Jinghui himself was the prince, he was able to defeat two half-brothers and four half-brothers to sit on the throne when he was not a direct son and had no direct sons. Out of other people's three tricks and eighteen bends.It's just that other people's scheming made him very happy, so he didn't care too much about it, but gave Eunuch Li a warning look.

The emperor walked one step away from Yanniang, helped Yanniang up with one hand, and wanted to touch Yanniang's snow-white face with the other.But the side of the beauty's face escaped his hand.

The emperor has been an emperor for a long time, and he is used to being obeyed. That is, when he was a prince in the past, except for the emperor's own father at that time, the current emperor and the current emperor who needed him to be obedient, most people usually listened to him.Now being rejected by Yanniang for a while, he was stunned for a moment, but in the end he used his power to rule, forcibly lifted Yanniang's chin and moved her face back, looked carefully, and then said: "It really is like a hand The catkin is soft, the skin is like creamy fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a gourd rhinoceros, and the head of a moth is like a moth's eyebrows."

Yanniang's heart was so thumping that she was about to jump out in fright. The hand pinching her chin seemed to her to be not a big hand with distinct bones, but a hand that was winding and circling around her face. A poisonous snake, as long as she moves, he will bite her to death.

Yanniang thought about the strange things that happened recently, if she didn't know what was going on, then she would not be the Chen Yanniang who could be praised by Yu Momo as smart and regarded as the successor.

Perhaps the emperor saw her somewhere on that day and fell in love with her. The servants in the palace who were good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts joined forces with Mrs. Linhou, and the two of them curry favor with the emperor and bought her. He even counted the money for Mrs. Lin Hou.

Yanniang suddenly remembered the story about the farmer and the snake that her second sister Yinniang had told her.It is said that a farmer saw a frozen snake. Seeing the snake was pitiful, the farmer rescued it and brought it home to keep warm and heal the wound. However, the first thing the snake did after healed was to kill the snake who rescued it. farmer.

In the Chunhe Palace on the other side of the palace, Concubine Shu was dressed up noble and gorgeous, sitting at the head of the main hall of the Chunhe Palace, accepting the congratulations and flattery of the wives and low-ranking concubines with a happy face.

Speaking of which, Concubine Shu actually has the capital to be proud of herself.Concubine Shu came from Ningguo Duke's Mansion, with a noble status and a noble status. She was the "old man" who served Emperor Jinghui when he was in his residence. Even if the other concubines give birth to sons in the future, the age gap between her son and the eldest prince will be too big. I'm afraid her son has already established a mansion, and the other princes still call their mothers everywhere with snot in their noses.As long as this state continues, her son is likely to inherit his father's will and become the next emperor. If she is still alive when the emperor dies, she will be the empress dowager.

Concubine Shu moved her stiffly sitting body, listening to the official opera singers on the stage singing "Ma Gu's Birthday Blessing", she felt that the world is really facing the sea, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

But this kind of mood was only maintained until her confidant lady hurried in from the outside, whispered a few words in her ear, and her breezy face immediately condensed.I scanned the bottom and found Mrs. Lin Hou in the third row from the left, and gave her a cold look.

Mrs. Lin Hou didn't dare to face Concubine Shu directly this day, but when Concubine Shu cast her cold eyes, she still felt a chill from her head to the soles of her feet, and her body trembled involuntarily, but soon returned to normal , took the handkerchief in his hand and gently wiped his cheeks, then sat there as if he didn't know anything and continued to watch the opera.

Madam Lin Hou also felt bitter in her heart. If possible, she did not want to offend Concubine Shu, but it was better to offend Concubine Shu than to offend the emperor.

Returning from the palace to Yongning Hou Mansion, Yan Niang immediately took her bag and packed her things to go back to Linping County.She didn't even bring the gold and silver jewelry that Mrs. Linhou gave her back then, but only folded a few clothes that she brought from home when she came to Beijing.Behind her was a group of maids chattering and telling her to calm down.

No matter how calm you are, you may lose your life!

Yanniang is not stupid, although she likes beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry, wants to marry a good family, and wants to live a life of slaves, but all of this must be based on the condition that she can live a long time to enjoy these things .A daughter like her who came from the Cheng family in Bapin County, a poverty-stricken county, has no family status, no support, and no support. If she enters the palace, she will be killed by cannon fodder, and there will be no place to bury her bones. nothing.

She was crazy to be the emperor's concubine who didn't even know her number.
