Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 133: The Women in the Palace (3)
"Hey, haven't the empress and imperial concubine come?" Xuan Haiyue asked suspiciously.

Princess Kang Ning and Concubine Duanmu Shu glanced at each other, and Concubine Nangong De said, "Princess Princess has already sent someone to invite her. The empress has been busy with marriage affairs recently and has no time to come. The concubine has gone to the emperor's place."

Xuan Haiyue said softly: "So that's how it is."

"Princess Qi, Princess Xintong, Concubine Zheng, and Yang Zhaorong are here." A court lady came over and saluted.

"Let them come over." Princess Kang Ning couldn't help but frowned, obviously not very fond of the visitors.

After a while, three women in Chinese costumes walked over.The leader is Princess Xintong. Today, Princess Xintong is wearing a purple-red peony azalea-patterned topless double-breasted skirt, with a pair of slender phoenix eyes that outline a bit of enchantment.Concubine Zheng behind him has a charming appearance and an exquisite figure, with a bit of coquettishness in her brows.And Yang Zhaorong was dressed in a pink veil embroidered with plum blossoms and inlaid with gold trim, coupled with exquisite makeup, it was also bright and charming, full of radiance.

This was the first time Xuan Haiyue saw Yang Zhaorong. Yang Zhaorong's boudoir name was Yang Yuyao, she was Yang Yuting's eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, she entered the palace at the age of 16 and became the emperor's concubine, and now she has a son under her knee.

Among the three, Princess Xintong and Princess Kangning are equal, so naturally she does not need to salute, and Princess Xintong is also Xuanyuanhang's imperial sister, so she only needs to salute the queen and queen mother in the harem.

"Emperor Sister Kang Ning is also here," Princess Xintong said with a smile.

"Greetings to Princess Kangning, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De." Concubine Zheng and Yang Zhaorong saluted.

"Excuse me, why is Xintong imperial sister free to enter the palace today?" Princess Kang Ning asked.

"Seeing the weather is fine today, I went into the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. When I came out, I ran into Concubine Zheng. I heard that the Queen has invited many concubines and noble ladies to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. I have nothing to do, so I came here together." Xin Tong said The princess looked at Xuan Haiyue at the side, and said, "Concubine Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xuan Haiyue smiled and said, "Yes, long time no see for Princess Xintong."

Princess Xintong raised her eyebrows and said, "It's been a long time. I didn't talk to you much at my brother's wedding last year. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye." After saying that, Princess Xintong gave Xuan Haiyue a close look. , walked to Concubine De and sat down.

"Why are Concubine Zheng and Yang Zhaorong here?" Princess Kang Ning asked.

Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing the eldest princess, but I heard from Sister Yang that Princess Feng is also here. I have admired Princess Feng for a long time, and finally I want to come to see Princess Feng if I have this."

Xuan Haiyue said with a light smile: "I dare not be a concubine when I see you, congratulations to Zheng Zhaoyi for being promoted to concubine."

Concubine Zheng was startled, and looked at Xuan Haiyue who was sitting on the side.Most women are always a little hostile to women who are better than themselves. Concubine Zheng turned out to be Zheng Zhaoyi. Although Zheng Zhaoyi is ranked first among the nine concubines, she has never had the chance to meet Xuan Haiyue.The Zheng family was always loyal to the emperor, but now that the emperor had a rift against the Yang family, and the Yuwen family was getting more and more popular, the emperor would support the Zheng family. In addition, Zheng Zhaoyi originally had a prince, so the emperor made her a concubine.

Concubine Zheng was favored in the first place, and naturally knew the situation of the concubines around the emperor well. Although she is now a concubine, she has not yet provoked the empress and Concubine Yuwen beyond her capabilities, but she already has her own momentum, and she is very fond of the emperor. The jealous Xuan Haiyue naturally paid more attention.

When I came here today, I thought I would see a woman as graceful and noble as a queen, or as glamorous and lofty as Concubine Yuwen, but I didn't expect...

The woman in front of her is wearing a bixia skirt with narcissus scattered flowers and green leaves, and a thin emerald smoky veil of large golden lotus flowers.The drooping sideburns are inserted obliquely and inlaid with pearls and jasper, and the beautiful appearance is as fresh and beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, elegant and refined.Compared with the ladies with gorgeous costumes and exquisite makeup around them, they are a bit more gentle and casual.

Looking at Xuan Haiyue in front of you, it is really difficult for you to connect her with the rumored woman who fights against water monsters and slays demons.What is even more unimaginable is that Feng Wang is very fond of this princess.

"This is Concubine Feng. I almost forgot that Mrs. Yang is Concubine Feng's uncle. Concubine Feng and Sister Yang are distant relatives. Princess Kang Ning, I want to sit next to Concubine Feng, okay?" Concubine Zheng Jiao Yan Zhukai said with a bright smile.

Princess Kang Ning nodded and said, "Of course." After hearing this, Concubine Zheng happily sat beside Xuan Haiyue.

"That's right, Concubine Zheng is right, Ben Gong and Concubine Feng are cousins." Yang Zhaorong's eyes flickered slightly, and he sat happily beside Concubine Zheng.

"I've been married for nearly a year, and this is the first time I've seen Lady Zhaorong. Is Lady Zhaorong okay?" Xuan Haiyue said to Yang Yuyao with a smile.

"My palace is very good, and Princess Laofeng is concerned. If I have free time in the future, I would like to get together with Princess Feng and enhance our cousin relationship." Yang Zhaorong looked at Xuan Haiyue, hiding other meanings in his words.In fact, she has always wanted to chat with Xuan Haiyue alone, but there are too many people now, which can only mean that it is difficult to get to the point with polite words on the surface, so she can only look for other opportunities.

Concubine Zheng said curiously: "The concubine heard from the emperor that Princess Feng wiped out the water monsters on the Lianyi River during the Lantern Festival last month. Can the concubine tell us about the situation at that time? The concubine is very skilled in martial arts, no wonder she can beat Princess Xiliang .”

Xuan Haiyue said with a slight smile: "Concubine Zheng was joking, but the prince was worried about the safety of the palace, and asked the palace to learn a few simple kung fu. It is the prince, not the palace, who really eliminated the water monster."

Concubine Zheng laughed and said: "My concubine is too modest. The emperor said that if it wasn't for her, the entire capital would have been destroyed by the water monster. The concubine owes much to China. It's a pity that the concubines who have lived in the deep palace for a long time can't be as good as the concubine." It is really a pity in my life that the country contributes."

"Eh? Concubine Zheng also wants to contribute to Huaxia? Why don't I ask Father to let you learn martial arts? Father will be happy if Concubine Zheng is so loyal to Huaxia." The crisp childish voice came from outside. Come over, everyone turned their heads, a pretty little girl in a pink dress blinked her big bright eyes and smiled as she watched Concubine Zheng walk over.

Concubine Zheng forced a smile: "The princess was joking, this concubine...is weak...not suitable for martial arts." Even if she was favored by her family and reused, Concubine Zheng would not dare to provoke this Princess Jinghan.Princess Jinghan is the only daughter of Concubine Duanmu Shu, and also the eldest princess of the emperor. Concubine Duanmu Shu is the granddaughter of Duke Anguo. Beloved, although Princess Jinghan is a concubine, but because of the emperor's love for Concubine Shu, her status is by no means lower than that of a concubine.If she really talked nonsense in front of the emperor, Concubine Zheng would be in trouble.

Princess Jinghan rolled her eyes, gave Concubine Zheng a disdainful look, and said, "Then you are still talking nonsense, and I thought you were too embarrassed to tell my father. It just so happened that Uncle Feng was also in the imperial study. Help you beg your father, maybe your father will agree as soon as you are happy."
