Chapter 36 There are no waves hidden surging
Lu Qianmo? Is the newcomer always there? Somehow, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a little want to laugh. What kind of world is this? My imagination is not enough at all. Who would have thought that the peasant girl who had been teased in the temple and had rough clothes would appear in the Zhaoyang Palace of the mother of the country - as an emperor's woman!
Look at the girl at this moment, oh no, Mo Chang is here now. I saw her black and smooth green silk as long as her waist, with a few strands of thin hair hanging in front of her chest, mixed with a few thin transparent fan strips in the middle, a pink and white brocade skirt, and a narrow belt of the same color tied around her waist, outlining the beautiful curves of women. The cuffs are embroidered with small oleander peaches, and there are not too many other decorations. I am fresh and refined, and very beautiful.
She didn't look too much panic or euphoria on her face. She was very calm and full of waves like the endless waves of the lake, which was completely different from the appearance of panic, pear blossoms and rain, and panic like a deer at that time. But Ling Xiao will never make a mistake with his beautiful face and exquisite facial features.
When Ling Xiao arrived, she had already said good to the queen. After that, she sat on the side and didn't open her mouth, so Ling Xiao didn't notice her until now, which was really unexpected.
"Hir, Sister Ling, my sister and sister are both from Phoenix. Now they live in the same palace. It's really fate. I wanted to go to see her yesterday, but unfortunately my sister went out." After the salute, after everyone sat back to their seats, they probably found Ling Xiao looking at her. Lu Qianmo nodded slightly and took the initiative to say hello. Calm down, abide by etiquette, and there is no difference.
"Good sister Mo. You're welcome. My sister likes the things you gave her very much. How about going back to your sister's palace?" Ling Xiao covered the strange color in his eyes and smiled generously and decently.
"Of course it's good. My sister can't ask for it." Lu Qianmo replied with a smile.
At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice came from the door: "The noble concubine arrived, the ice concubine arrived, and the noble Xuan arrived--" The ending was long.
Why did Lin Xuanyu and Xie Guifei come together? Ling Xiao was very puzzled, but he saw a gorgeous beauty in his eyes. If Bingfei belongs to the kind of cold-faced beauty that makes people look cold, then Xie Guifei is a warm and beautiful person. The two stand together, which can be said to be interesting. Lin Xuanyu's appearance was not bad, but he was dressed too ordinary and his head was very low. Standing beside the two concubines was really dwarfed.
"See the Queen." The noble concubine just made a simple salute. Before the queen flattened her, she had already stood up straight and walked to her seat. The ice concubine is just a light blessing, but because she is cold, it doesn't make people feel rude. Only Lin Xuanyu knelt down respectfully and made a big salute.
"Sisters, sit down. Today is a good day. Many new sisters enter the palace and are happy to see it. The palace will be more lively in the future." The queen smiled dignifiedly.
"With so many newcomers entering the palace, is the queen really happy or in the face?" The noble concubine sat on top and drank tea leisurely without raising her eyelids.
Ling Xiao was shocked and knew that the noble concubine was favored. He also heard that the noble concubine had always been domineering, but he didn't expect it to be so unconcealed. Is this Qianxi harem the queen or her noble concubine? However, seeing that the old man in the original palace looked as usual, it was probably not surprising to see such presumptuous words as the noble concubine.
The queen seems to be used to it. Hearing such sarcastic words, she was not angry at all. She still smiled and said, "My sister has always loved jokes. Naturally, I am really happy. There are so many people who help me share it together. The emperor is busy every day. After a busy day, he can see a few new faces, and he must be much more relaxed. If the emperor is happy, I will be happy.
The noble concubine's face was ugly. Although the queen was respected by the emperor in the palace, she was not favored. The emperor only arrived at Zhaoyang Palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Naturally, many newcomers in the palace did not have much impact on her. But it's different in the noble concubine's palace. Originally, she always had seven or eight days to accompany the king in a month, and she would be spoiled in the future.
"What the queen said is very true. What's more, there are too few children in the palace, and there are more sisters to help the royal heirs. This is a contribution to the society." The medicine concubine glanced at the charming peach blossom eyes and smiled gently. Although she is slightly inferior to Xie Zhiqing in the favor of the king, she has always felt that it was because of her family background. In the emperor's heart, no one could pass her. Although she doesn't want so many newcomers to share the favor, in contrast, she prefers to see the unhappy appearance of the noble concubine.
"If the medicine concubine really wants to make contributions so much, why don't she fight in person?" The noble concubine looked a little careless, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, with a trace of sarcasm.
What she said was a little explicit. The medical concubine's face was a little bad. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was different from the noble concubine's publicity. She really couldn't say such words. She just gently "hummed" and stopped talking.
"My sisters haven't seen the noble concubine and the ice concubine yet." The queen opened her mouth and finally broke the deadlock.
Hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and knelt down together, "I've seen the Noble Concubine, I've seen the Ice Concubine."
"The emperor is blessed with so many sisters like flowers." The noble concubine drank tea leisurely, with no intention of calling everyone to get up.
"Yo, I heard that there were not so many sisters, and one of them was left by you personally." When the medicine concubine saw Lin Xuanyu on one side, she suddenly said.
"I don't have that ability. Who doesn't know that the palace election was hosted by the queen and the emperor together." The noble concubine snorted coldly.
"Oh? Didn't you send a bowl of lotus seed soup, sister? I happened to see a sister who was going down. The medicine concubine is a little unrelentless.
"So what? It is the duty of the people in the harem to select beautiful women for the emperor. Even if I am not qualified to sit in the draft with the emperor, it does not mean that I am not even qualified to make suggestions. Xie Guifei is not so easy to be stung. These words are irrefutable at all.
"What the noble concubine's sister said is very true. If I remember correctly, that day in Qianyuan Hall..." The queen glanced at the crowd one by one, stayed on Lin Xuanyu and asked, "Is this sister?"
"It's the concubine." Lin Xuanyu heard that the topic shifted to himself and bravely replied, "My concubine is a nobleman."
"Raise your head and let me have a good look."
Lin Xuanyu couldn't do it, so he had to raise his head, but his eyes were still looking down. Ling Xiao looked at her and was secretly worried. The medicine concubine didn't like her. Isn't she going to do something about her this time?
"The noble Xuan is really qualified. It was late that day, and he didn't really see it. The emperor almost missed the beautiful woman. Fortunately, the noble concubine had good eyes and better vision." The queen praised.
Other people echoed one after another. Only the Ice Concubine, in addition to greeting the queen, did not say a word from beginning to end, as if she was indifferent, or as if she was too lazy to do it on the surface.
Ling Xiao stroked the broken hair around his ear, and the back of his hand gently touched the still faintly painful cheek. Yu Guang glanced at the ice concubine.
Hearing the queen's appreciation, there was a faint irony in the noble concubine's eyes and said, "This palace is just for the emperor. As the queen said, the emperor is happy, and I am happy."
"Since the noble concubine's sister is happy, why don't you let your sisters get up?" Just as Ling Xiao felt that his knee was sore, the queen finally opened her mouth.
"Yo, where are you still kneeling?" The noble concubine looked like she almost forgot, but her tone was very plain. Naturally, she had arrogant capital.
"Thank you, Lady." Everyone thanked in unison.
Will it be like this every day when greetings in the Queen's Palace in the future? Even if you don't say a word, even if the weather is not hot yet, just sitting here can make people sweat.
"You sisters have been sitting here for a long time. You must be tired, so go back and rest." The queen's words made Ling Xiao feel like an amnesty. "I'm also a little tired. Come and talk to me next time."
"It's good to have a good rest. If you can't keep it, the emperor will turn over whose brand is it today." As soon as the noble concubine said this, everyone's face looked different.
However, since the queen said that she was tired and wanted to rest, everyone naturally said nothing more, but because of the last words of the imperial concubine, she was secretly troubled.
Originally, Ling Xiao was worried about what would happen. When he walked out of the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She and a group of low-level concubines walked behind the comparison and briefly saluted several palace concubines around her. Seeing that Lin Xuanyu was not too obvious, but the care and worries in their eyes still warmed each other's hearts.
"Sister, whose sign will the emperor turn over tonight?" A somewhat timid voice that couldn't resist curiosity and a little expectation came from behind.
"Sister, please be careful. How can we speculise the holy meaning without authorization?" This one is a little serious, and I think he is cautious.
Indeed, tonight is of great significance to everyone. I don't know who can win the first place. Ling Xiao doesn't care very much. He just hopes that it's not him. No, not only tonight, it's better for the shanging emperor to never think of her.
Naturally, she also knows that this is not realistic. After all, it is not the Palace of Empress Qin. The possibility of "thirty-six years without seeing" is too small. According to the old example in the palace, for a new woman who enters the palace, unless there is a special situation, it is unlikely that she will be put aside without being lucky. Now it can only be delayed for a day.
Ling Xiao had lunch, turned around in the garden in Yilan Palace, and then went back to rest for a long time. When she woke up, she wanted to go to the Xixi Hall, but she felt that she had been close to people when she first entered the palace. I was afraid it was not a good thing, so she gave up the idea.
When he didn't know what to do, Erlan came to inform that Mo Chang was coming.
"You all go down. Mo and I are often chattying." Ling Xiao took a look at the green fog and motioned her to go down together.
There were only two of them left in the room. Ling Xiao smiled and quietly looked at the stranger in front of him, waiting for her to speak first.
"I didn't expect to see you in the show girl." Lu Qianmo did not hide the fact that she had already recognized Ling Xiao. "Moreover, she was the identity of the magistrate's daughter, and even assisted the imperial envoy to find out the murder of the actress."
"Yes, who would have thought that the two depressed girls in the temple that day would appear in front of each other as emperor women at the same time today." Ling Xiao didn't ask her why, but she was quite emotional.
"Where is he?" Lu Qianmo didn't answer, but there seemed to be countless waves hidden in his seemingly calm eyes. After a long time, he suddenly asked these two words.
Ling Xiao was stunned at first. When he reacted, his heart suddenly sank, but he smiled and said, "What is my sister talking about?"
"Although I'm not sure if it's him, I know..." Lu Qianmo came over, approached Ling Xiao's ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your heart is not here."
The very soft voice made Ling Xiao jump every time he heard a word, and he couldn't help oozing fine sweat on his forehead. What does this Lu Qianmo mean?
Ling Xiao dares not say how much kindness he is to her, but he is also a person who lends a helping hand in times of crisis. Even if he doesn't ask for anything in return, he should not repay him, right? But in fact, who knows, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Seeing Ling Xiao's reaction, Lu Qianmo smiled without surprise, and suddenly changed his relaxed tone and said, "Sister, don't worry, my sister won't hurt you."
"Jingru, let's go back." Lu Qianmo gave a salute and left, leaving Ling Xiao, who was still suspicious.
Although people will change, today's Lu Qianmo is too much worse than before. Can a person really change so much in such a short time? What on earth did she go through?
Lu Qianmo has no evidence of what she does to Ling Xiao, but it is also true that she has others in her heart. After all, she is still a little guilty. What's more, they live in the same palace. If they really have some ulterior motives, they can't guard against them.
Just as everyone in the harem was guessing which palace concubine would get on Fengluan Chun'en car tonight, Ling Xiao completely forgot about this matter and was all about it.
During the dinner, Qingwu was a little eager to talk, and Ling Xiao didn't find it at all. Until the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up. Tonight, whose sign did the emperor turn over?
