Chapter 17 This person is not simple
When they arrived at Jingren Palace, the Queen was giving a lecture, but Nian Shilan interrupted her proudly:
"Isn't this palace too late?"
Everyone turned around and saluted her respectfully, and she glanced at them.
[Vulgar! Old-fashioned! Petty! None of them can compare to this palace! The emperor's vision is no more than this! ]
No one could match her temperament, so Nian Shilan was naturally happy.
[Today, your hair is well combed, your kingfisher hairpin is very beautiful, and your clothes are very well matched to my liking. I am in a good mood, so I will give the Queen a favor and bow.]
She ignored everyone and went straight to the hall to pay her respects to the empress.
Today she was really waiting for the Queen to say "No need to bow" before she stood up.
It turns out that being in a good mood can make you more respectful.
The queen looked at the jewels and jade on Nian Shilan's head and felt that there seemed to be no room for her to show off her skills. She decided to go back and make her some clothes. The bright red color would suit her tacky taste.
It must be said that in this palace, there is indeed no one who can wear those tacky clothes as seductively and ostentatiously as she does.
No wonder the emperor likes it. I am also pleased to see it.
As soon as Nian Shilan sat down, Concubine Qi spoke:
"Sister Hua Fei, you came so late, are you feeling unwell?"
"The emperor was late reading the memorials yesterday, so I was late with him. The emperor refused to let me get up early this morning, so I was late." Nian Shilan pretended to understand and said, "The queen is not angry, right?"
The queen saw that her little thoughts were written all over her face. This Jinjiner look really made people hate her to the point of itching teeth - but also inexplicably adorable.
In fact, if Concubine Qi hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble, Concubine Hua had no intention of causing any trouble.
It turns out that she is nothing more than a firecracker. She won't explode if she's not lit, but she will explode once she's lit.
"If the emperor likes it, then naturally he can show me more favor than he deserves. The concubines are all sisters, so it doesn't matter if the younger sister comes to see the older sister earlier or later."
The Queen smiled warmly and said, "Just now I saw that all the sisters were very cautious after entering the palace, but now they are more relaxed. This is all thanks to you, Concubine Hua."
Jiang Fuhai shouted, "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen," and the newlyweds knelt down.
Borjigit and Fucha were given the title of noble ladies because of their high birth, and they were in the front row. Although Shen Meizhuang was also a noble lady, she was of Han descent, and she stood in the second row with Fang Jiachunyi, followed by Zhen Huan and Sun Miaoqing, and An Lingrong stood in the last row.
These were all taught by the teaching nanny.
The newlyweds kowtowed to the Empress, and then bowed to all the concubines in the harem one by one. Concubine Duan was not feeling well and did not come, so Concubine Hua was the first to be bowed to.
After they knelt down, she glanced at Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and others.
[A bunch of bastards! You will all oppose me in the future, so kneel down now.]
Nian Shilan used the ready-made excuse to talk to the Queen about jadeite.
The queen thought that these people would kill her in the future, so she might as well take the opportunity to give everyone a warning, so she talked to her about Dongzhu.
She said that jadeite makes people look old, so she wanted to give it to the Empress. The Empress, who was used to being told that she was old by Concubine Hua, simply accepted it and said that she would make her a pair of oriental pearl earrings and a set of clothes as a return gift.
The two of them went back and forth, and the newlywed's legs trembled.
After finally finishing her words and asking everyone to stand up, Nian Shilan originally didn't want to ask anyone or tell anyone, but when she thought about how Sun Miaoqing was reborn, she was afraid of being exposed, so she just went through the process.
Didn't she take over Xia's position?
Then just pull it out and slide it around.
"I remember there was a lady named Sun in the selection, she was from Jiangnan."
Sun Miaoqing wore a sky-blue palace dress with a simple bun, and stepped out of the crowd like the first tender lotus emerging from the water in early summer. She said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"I am Sun Miaoqing, the concubine of Yanxi Palace, and I am here to see the Empress Hua."
I didn't notice it during the palace selection, but I always felt that her face looked different from the one I had seen before. She was whiter and thinner, and her expression wasn't as bitter and resentful.
Temperament...
[She has the temperament of a nouveau riche, she is incomparable to me, but she is more than suitable for the Fourth Master. She is so thin that her chin is pointed. I don’t know how long she has been hungry. She doesn’t look lucky at all. If she walks out with the Fourth Master, an old man and a devil, the Qing Dynasty will be finished. ]
Queen: Concubine Hua is really braver than the sky.
Jingpin Feng Ruozhao was sitting not far from her. She vaguely heard those few words and was frightened out of her wits:
This Concubine Hua is so bold that she actually wants to marry the Emperor's concubine to one of her four uncles. If the Emperor knew about this, wouldn't he definitely kill her entire family?
Nian Shilan didn't know what Chun Yuan looked like, so she glanced at Zhen Huan for reference.
[The Emperor's favorites all have one characteristic. Sun Miaoqing... doesn't look like that. She doesn't have the qualifications to enter the family, and she has a connection with the Nian family. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to be favored.]
Others did not understand what this meant, but the Queen knew very well:
Sun Miaoqing's appearance was not outstanding. If the emperor favored women in the harem based on the standard of gentleness, then Sun Miaoqing was indeed hopeless.
[I don’t know whether Sun Miaoqing is truly reborn. I have to find a way to test it.]
"Mr. Sun is very simple and pure. The material of your clothes is good." Nian Shilan started.
Is Sun Miaoqing really reborn? !
The Queen had already guessed something, and when she heard that Concubine Hua had the same suspicion, she confirmed it instantly.
The word "pure and simple" made the empress even more alert. Wasn't Zhen Huan, who was unwilling to enter the palace, also very pure and simple?
Is Sun Shi imitating Zhen Huan?
She knew that Zhen Huan won in the end, so she wanted to replace Zhen Huan?
But didn’t Concubine Hua say that she had never entered the palace in her previous life?
How could she know what was going on in the harem if she hadn't entered it?
After losing the election, he was unwilling to accept the result and sent someone to inquire?
The Suzhou Weaving Factory is considered to be a close confidant of the Emperor and is in charge of the Imperial Merchants. It is not difficult for it to find out what is going on in the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Sun Miaoqing said nothing more.
The queen took a closer look and thought that the Sun family had no shortage of good materials. Even Song Jin, who was coveted by others, could probably be used as a rag in her family.
But Sun Miaoqing's outfit was not really outstanding, just ordinary brocade.
But she neither said it was unusual nor luxurious, nor did she take the opportunity to flatter Concubine Hua.
Rather than being cautious, it would be more accurate to say that she is trying to draw a clear line between herself and the Nian family.
This person is not simple.
