Chapter 205 Where did you find this smart person?
A new person entered the palace, so it shouldn't have been so peaceful, but the empress was ill, so she didn't have to greet the emperor in the morning, and she also exempted them from the greeting ceremony.
On the day they entered the palace, the emperor did not summon anyone to sleep with him, but stayed in Yanning Palace.
The two masters of the former dynasty and the harem seemed not to take the two of them seriously, and naturally, the people in the harem would not take them too seriously either.
It wasn't until the day of the little princess' naming ceremony that the two of them finally showed their faces in public.
Taking into account the frailty of the little princess, the naming ceremony was not grand, and no royal relatives were invited. Even the empress dowager did not come. It was more like a small family dinner.
The location is also set in Fengyi Palace.
After a few days of clear weather, the sky became a little gloomy today.
Yun Qin got off the guard, looked at the sky, and said to Rong Xin who was supporting her: "They say spring rain is as precious as oil. Maybe it is the blessing of our little princess."
Lan Ying, who had come out to greet the guests, happened to hear what she said. She was slightly startled, and her smile towards Yun Qin became more genuine.
Yun Qin came with a grand ceremony, but she was dressed rather simply, wearing a green long bodice, her hair pulled up into a bun, a phoenix-shaped hairpin in her hair, and pearl strings and tourmaline beads hanging on her temples, making her look light yet elegant.
"Greetings to Concubine Xi." Lan Ying bowed and her gaze inadvertently fell on her cuffs. Next to the wide sleeves, half of a jade bead hung, as rich as purple clouds, yet moist and translucent, with excellent water content.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had never seen such a good thing even after entering the palace for so many years.
Even if this person appears to be low-key and pure, any little bit of his charm that he inadvertently reveals is beyond the reach of others.
Thinking that she was once just a little palace maid, Lanying's heart couldn't help but be filled with resentment. But then she thought that now there was a little princess in Fengyi Palace and the Empress smiled more often, and her resentment gradually subsided.
When I looked up again, everything was calm.
She smiled and said to Yun Qin, "You must tell the Empress what you said just now. She saw that the weather was bad today and has been unhappy since this morning."
These past few days, Huo Jinchi has been complaining that there has been too little rain since the beginning of spring. Yun Qin was inspired by this when she saw that it looked like it was going to rain today. Now it really sounds like a compliment to her.
Today is the little princess' big day, so saying a few auspicious words won't mean much.
Yun Qin smiled at her, "I was also inspired by this..."
As they were talking, a sedan stopped at the gate of Fengyi Palace and Lady Shen got out.
She is now seven months pregnant. Her belly is not too big, but she is plumper. She looks very healthy and her face seems to be covered with a soft glow. She seemed even more charming before she got pregnant.
Lan Ying hurried over and said, "Meet Lady Shen."
"Aunt Lanying, you're too polite." Lady Shen smiled and helped her up, then raised her eyes to look at Yunqin and was about to salute her.
Rong Xin hurried forward to support her, and Yun Qin also said, "No need to be so polite."
Although they didn't say anything, the two of them came together tacitly.
Yun Qin glanced at her belly, feeling a sense of panic, and whispered, "It's so noisy here, you might as well not come and join in."
"The Emperor and the Empress value me so much, I must come and show my face." Lady Shen rubbed her belly subconsciously, a gentle smile in her eyes.
Yun Qin knew that she was a law-abiding person, so she didn't say much, just said: "When we go in later, just follow me."
"Then I would like to thank Concubine Xi." There was some teasing in Lady Shen's eyes.
Yun Qin glanced at her.
As they were talking, the two of them stepped into the hall.
With a quick glance, he saw two unfamiliar faces in the hall.
A cute girl was sitting next to the queen, teasing the little princess in her arms with an intimate look.
And the other one...
Yun Qin raised her eyebrows slightly. She had heard that this Nie Daying was the granddaughter of General Fu Yuan and grew up on the border.
Her facial features are three-dimensional and deep, with narrow and long eyes. From time to time, she seems to be a little sarcastic, cold and arrogant.
Yun Qin thought she would be a hot-tempered person, but unexpectedly, she was an icy beauty of Sister Yu's type.
If she hadn't known it beforehand, she would have thought that this Nie Danying was the Queen's sister.
Yunqin and Concubine Shen saluted the empress, and both stood up to salute them.
"Greetings to Concubine Xi, and to Lady Shen."
"Get up."
While Yun Qin and Shen Meiren were looking at them, they were also secretly looking at the two of them.
The beauty of Concubine Xi was known to everyone, but seeing her in person today, everyone could not hide their amazement.
Especially Fang Danying, she has lived in the capital since she was a child and has seen many young ladies from aristocratic families, naturally there is no shortage of beauties.
I have seen many people who have a good reputation but do not live up to the reputation.
So she naturally thought that Concubine Xi might not be as beautiful as the legend said, but she was just very capable and had the Emperor under her spell, which was why others complimented her so much.
But when I saw it today, I realized how wrong I was.
Xipin was indeed a fairy-like beauty, and it seemed that she had made Nie Danying, who she had just been a little jealous of, look like a fool.
This is also a beauty that was nurtured by the emperor's grace and favor. She is dignified and graceful. Standing in front of her, one will feel restrained and dare not raise his head.
Even when she met the Queen, she didn't have this feeling.
Although Fang Danying felt frustrated, she also felt a burning warmth in her heart. This was honor, this was the charm that power gave to women. One day she would be like her!
Driven by such ambition, Fang Danying couldn't help but talk.
"I've long heard that Concubine Xi is a goddess, and today I see that she is indeed so. Compared to her, I look like a country girl."
She has a clear voice with a girl's innocence, and speaks frankly, which naturally makes people like her.
Yun Qin glanced at her and couldn't help but look at the Queen again.
Where did the Fang family find such a smart person? It was obvious that they found someone who was the opposite of the Queen's personality. I wonder what the Queen would think.
Regardless of whether Fang Congying is truly simple-minded or just pretending to be, Yunqin intends to give her a good look.
It is because she is a member of the Fang family that no matter how nicely they are put now, it cannot change the nature of their natural opposition.
"Fang Danying is too modest." After saying this, Yun Qin turned to the empress and said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better? This spring is dry. I have some excellent loquat paste. I'll send someone to bring it to you tomorrow."
She didn't have to target them deliberately. The Fang family tried every means to send someone in just to replace the empress. As long as she flattered the empress and made friends with her, it would be enough to slap Fang Danying in the face.
Sure enough, after hearing her speaking so attentively to the Queen, Fang Danying's smile immediately faded a little.
The queen raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Qin, smiling, "You are thoughtful."
After saying that, she glanced at Fang Danying with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Xipin is such a smart person, how could she not see through her little tricks?
She thought that her father and aunt had carefully selected this person, but it turned out that he was also a fool who thought he was smart.
