Chapter 109 Indisason
Qin Yunuan imagined the appearance of Jing Concubine many times, but did not expect it to be more eye-catching and gentle than she expected.
From afar, I saw a blue and white soft sedan chair slowly coming surrounded by the palace eunuchs. The transparent beads falling on their heads were so crystal clear that people always thought that the person in the sedan chair should also be a wonderful person with exquisite thoughts.
As soon as Princess Shuhua heard the name of Concubine, she suddenly calmed down. Her face was full of the coquettishness of her little daughter's family and immediately greeted her: "Mother Jing, you are here. Shuhua has been waiting for you for a long time. The lotus nectar you sent last time is really good. Is there any more? Shuhua is cute to eat it. "
Qin Yunuan looked slightly and looked at the way Princess Shuhua acting coquettishly towards Jing, knowing that the relationship between the two must be unusual. Leng Changxi once warned her not to get too close to Jing Concubine. Although it did not explain the reason, Qin Yu Nuan still believed Leng Changxi's words. After all, she knew this man. Her heart has been filled with her and always thinks about her.
"The minister has met the quiet concubine." Qin Yunuan saluted slightly through the bead curtain, and could also see the outline of the quiet concubine on the other side of the bead curtain. Looking at the slender neck and high but elegant bun, she knew that this woman was unusual.
Jing Concubine, she is as exquisite as a person who came out of the painting. Her face and big eyes are full of dignity and elegance between her hands and feet. At the age of 25, she not only has the shyness and softness of her young daughter's family, but also has an indescribable vulgarity and elegance. No wonder the emperor has frequently spoiled this past recently. The most unfavorable talent even upgraded her directly from the position of a talented person to a concubine.
This is the first time Qin Yunuan saw Jing Concubine. I have to say that she was also stunned by Jing Concubine's beauty, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Jing Concubine's face seemed a little unnatural. More importantly, I heard that Concubine Jing entered the palace at the age of 16, but why was such a great beauty was not favored until the age of 25 nine years later? What happened during this period?
"Are you... the third girl of the Qin family who made General Leng kiss a while ago?" Jingcubine slowly opened her mouth, and the eunuch beside her raised the curtain knowingly and welcomed Jingcubine out. The pink and apricot-like petite lips, the white skin, and the long black hair like midnight seemed to take everyone's attention away in the sun for a moment. Even the monks who watched the door couldn't help but understand some dust. , the eyes always subconsciously look this way.
Jing Concubine's words are quite courteous. She did not deliberately add the word "common daughter" before Qin Yunuan's name, but directly called her the third girl.
Thinking of Leng Changxi's instructions, Qin Yunuan just smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
Concubine Jing also smiled kindly: "Sure enough, she is beautiful and dignified. I also have some connections with General Leng. I knew that the people he like will not be bad."
Qin Yu's warm face is still calm: "The Empress praised it." But in my heart, I heard it clearly. What Concubine Jing wants to explain is just the word "oribe". It seems that this concubine Jing is to Leng Changxi...
"Ok, it's getting late. Everyone comes for the well-being of the Empress Dowager. It's not good to delay the time." Concubine Jing smiled and eased the atmosphere. She knew what Princess Shuhua was thinking just by looking at Qin Yunuan's eyes. She smiled and stroked Princess Shuhua's hand and smiled, "Shua is really a childish temper, that is, the Empress Dowager and I love you. In the future, if it comes out Marrying is a worrying thing.
When Princess Shuhua heard this, she was not annoyed, but shrugged into Jing's arms: "Jing Niangniang is the best for Shuhua. In the future, I have to watch Jing Niang give birth to a baby before I can get married at ease."
Concubine smiled, stretched out her white finger and pretended to poke Princess Shuhua's forehead and said angrily, "You just love to make me happy. All right, I know you are doing for those cans of lotus nectar, Xiao Anzi. After returning to the palace, you go to the warehouse to check how many lotus nectar we still have, and send them to our Princess Shuhua. In the past.
Concubine Jing and Princess Shuhua said a word, as if Qin Yunuan did not exist, but Princess Shuhua was very proud. From time to time, she raised her head and looked at Qin Yunuan provocatively, as if announcing that her rescuers were coming. Qin Yunuan could no longer bully her, but Qin Yunuan just turned a blind eye and stood aside quietly. Although she didn't say anything, it was certain that when Princess Shuhua mentioned that she let Jing have a baby, Jing's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and cruelty. Although she only stayed for a moment, she was clearly seen by Qin Yunuan.
"Look, we only talked, but forgot Miss Qin San." Jing is very good at reconting the atmosphere. "Miss Qin, it's not early now. Everyone still has to go back to the room to rest. For the next 49 days, they will burn incense and recite scriptures every day, which is tiring enough."
Qin Yu warmed her body: "It is appropriate to be tired to pray for the Empress Dowager." If you want to get a little bit of things out of her Qin Yunuan's mouth, don't even think about it. She won't say tired or tired words in front of so many people.
The concubine smiled slightly, her eyes flashed, and she went to the mountain gate with the maids and eunuchs beside her.
Since Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, it is naturally the largest and most magnificent temple in the suburbs of Beijing. There are two wing rooms, which are divided into the east wing, the west wing, and the northernmost side is a dense forest. The whole temple faces south, and the feng shui is excellent. Otherwise, it would not have chosen this place as the royal temple to worship the sky.
Qin Yunuan, Princess Shuhua and Concubine Jing were arranged in the east wing with better lighting. Because of the location problem, Qin Yunuan was assigned to the northernmost wing. Although it was said to be the worst of them, they were all shocked when Tonger Man'er pushed the door in to prepare for cleaning.
"Wow, this is no worse than our room in the lieutenant's mansion. Three girls, come in and have a look." Tong'er called Qin Yunuan to come over happily.
"Look at you, I'm always shocked. Now we are in the wolf's nest. Do you think we are still in the warm hometown of the captain's mansion?" Man'er followed behind and persuaded Tong'er with a smile.
Tong'er lowered her head, covered her mouth, and stopped talking.
Qin Yunuan looked at Tong'er with a smile, but when she walked into the room, her heart also trembled violently. From the screen to the small coffee table, from the bed to the cup, whether it was large furniture or small things, they were perfectly arranged, and each piece was in line with Qin Yunuan's heart.
Touching the slippery mattress like a cloud gauze, Qin Yunuan was stunned. She didn't know anyone in Xiangguo Temple. Who would bother to do something for her?
At this time, a little sami came in from outside the door, stood outside the threshold, and said very sensiblely to the inside, "Master, let me ask if the layout of this room is satisfactory?"
"Who is your master?" Man'er touched the cute little Sha Mi's head and asked softly, which was also what Qin Yunuan wanted to know most at this moment.
Little Sami's head tilted and did not hide it: "My master's name is Xuanzhi. How many female benefactors have ever heard of it?"
Xuanzhi? Qin Yunuan suddenly turned her head and looked at the little Shami. She remembered that when she was in Wan'an Temple, it was Leng Changxi who finally invited Xuanzhi, a high monk from Qi who traveled everywhere, to give a Buddhist lecture to temporarily calm everyone's emotions.
It turns out that it's still him.
At the thought of Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan's face suddenly turned red. She got up and smiled brightly at Xiao Shami: "Thank your master for me, just say that Yu Nuannuan will remember this."
Little Shami nodded loudly and ran out of the wing quickly.
In the evening, Qin Yunuan received another news that Li Weijun, a girl of the Li family, suddenly died at home. It was said that she died very suddenly. It was okay to eat with a family. She just went back and ate an almond cake. After less than half a cup of tea, she suddenly lost her breath.
Qin Yunuan knew very well that the almond cake was given to Empress Chen after summoned Li Weijun alone in the hunting ground. According to Li Weijun's nature, she must have shown off for a long time when she came back, but even if everyone knew that this almond cake was rewarded by the queen, no one dared to hold the queen accountable. It was knowing that Li Weijun must have angered the queen before he suffered this disaster. What he didn't understand was that the bereaved dog of the Li family is now even more depressed, and the only hope of rising has been dashed.
The Li family can only suffer from this mute loss.
Early the next morning, Qin Yunuan got up early. Today is the first day of praying for blessings. According to the usual rules, Qin Yunuan should first go to Jing's yard to say goodwill, and then follow Jing's concubine to Wanxiong Hall to fast and bathe together and burn incense to pray for blessings.
And when Qin Yunuan arrived outside the courtyard of the concubine, Princess Shuhua also happened to come, with joy on her face. It seemed that she was extremely happy to think that she would see the concubine later.
It seems that this quiet concubine is really good at buying people's hearts. Even the most fierce princess in the palace is subdued by her. Looking at Princess Shuhua, she looks the same to others, but when she gets along with the quiet concubine, she looks completely different.
Seeing Qin Yunuan coming, the smile on Princess Shuhua's face immediately restrained, raised her head slightly, full of conceiving and pride: "It's even later than my princess, and I don't know how the tutor in the captain's mansion is so bad."
Qin Yunuan smiled and replied directly, "Compared with the meritorious nobles of the Wu family, a small family like the Qin family is naturally unable to stand on the table." The implication is that Princess Shuhua said that the Qin family has no tutor, but what about her? As soon as she was born, she was an orphan girl, and there was no tutor at all.
Sure enough, Princess Shuhua frowned and was about to make trouble, but the door of the wing opened suddenly, and the concubine had stood dignifiedly at the door.
