Chapter 210 Greetings
Chapter 210 Greetings
The original body and Wen Changwan lived together in Ziming Palace, and the head of the Ziming Palace was Concubine Zheng Xianfei.
Apart from the most honorable Queen Wang, there were Concubine Li and Concubine Zheng in the palace.
There were very few princes in the palace, and now only three are alive.
Concubine Li gave birth to the eldest prince and the eldest princess, Concubine Zheng gave birth to the second prince, Concubine Liu gave birth to the fourth prince, and Concubine Rou gave birth to the second princess.
Any concubine who has given birth to a child in the palace will be appointed as the head of the palace.
Queen Wang’s third prince had just passed away.
Originally, the third prince had been a definite candidate for the title of crown prince, but unfortunately he was weak and died of a cold a few months ago.
Queen Wang did not forget her duties because of the loss of her son. She arranged the affairs of the newcomers entering the palace in an orderly manner.
However, there were inevitably some personal grudges involved. For example, two new people were sent to the palaces of Concubine Li and Concubine Zheng to annoy them.
Everything had been arranged in the side hall. Xianxian packed up simply and took Fuliu to the main hall.
The purpose was to be polite and pay respects to Concubine Zheng according to the rules.
Wen Changwan arrived just as she did, and the other party saw a flash of surprise in Xianxian's eyes.
The original body's appearance was indeed beautiful, not as delicate as a willow in the wind, nor as beautiful and charming as a beauteous woman. Rather, it was a kind of cold and aloof appearance.
She wore a water blue dress, her hair was in a bun with a pearl hairpin, and two blue ribbons hung on her shoulders.
There was a cinnabar mole the size of a red bean between her eyebrows, and her eyes were slightly long and cold.
Her lips are like cherries, pink and plump, as if she is holding a small jade bead.
The other person had a faint smile on his face, but he seemed distant and polite.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be in a daze, Xianxian frowned slightly and reminded him softly.
"Beauty Wen."
Wen Changwan bowed and saluted, "Meet the noble lady Shen."
Xianxian nodded and signaled the other party to stand up, and subconsciously fiddled with the white jade Buddhist beads on her wrist.
Wen Changwan stood aside and looked at him secretly, thinking that the other person had an outstanding temperament.
Most beauties wear jade and gold bracelets on their wrists, but the beauty in front of me has a Buddhist necklace wrapped around her wrist.
It's really rare in the world.
At this time, a palace maid walked out of the hall. She was Liuli, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Zheng.
"Lady Shen, Lady Wen, the Second Prince is not feeling well today. The Queen is very worried about this matter. I really don't have time to see you. Please go back first."
"It's getting late, the two masters should have a good rest."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Thank you, ma'am."
In the main hall, Concubine Zheng was fanning the second prince.
Liuli's soft voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, I have already informed Concubine Shen and Concubine Wen. They have already gone back."
Concubine Zheng tucked the quilt for the second prince, stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.
She sat in the upper seat, picked up the teacup and asked softly, "How is it? Is there anything wrong with these two people?"
Because the person was arranged by Queen Wang, Concubine Zheng had to treat him with caution.
Ever since the third prince passed away, Queen Wang has become unscrupulous and is just like a mad woman.
Liuli stepped forward and whispered in Concubine Zheng's ear, "I think Lady Shen is more beautiful."
"It's a pity that he looks like a Buddha. Your Majesty will not like it."
"Lady Wen has clear and innocent eyes, just like the queen did in her youth. Queen Wang is really good at scheming."
After hearing what Liuli said, Concubine Zheng raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, then put the teacup down forcefully.
"What good intentions can the Queen have? Don't bother with her. Just keep an eye on Concubine Shen and Concubine Wen."
"Yes, the servant understands."
Without seeing Concubine Zheng, Xianxian was able to have some peace and quiet.
Tomorrow morning, you have to pay your respects to Queen Wang. Only after that will the Emperor flip the name card.
Xianxian asked Fuliu and Bodhi to bring the scriptures she brought into the palace.
"Master, we have already entered the palace, why do we have to continue chanting?"
Bodhi asked curiously while burning incense.
The original body had practiced with hair uncut in Qingguan Temple for ten years.
This is because the abbot of Qingguan Temple asserted that her fate was weak and difficult to support.
Originally, her parents didn't want her to enter the palace, but she was ambitious and wanted to become the most noble woman in the world.
The original purpose of chanting scriptures is to suppress the desires in one's heart.
"Bodhi, wherever you are, you must be calm and focused. Only when you have Buddha in your heart can you know the way forward. Don't speak nonsense."
Compared to the mature and steady Fu Liu, Bodhi is two years younger and more naive.
But she was smart and naturally understood the warning in Xianxian's words.
Bodhi knelt on the ground, bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"I dare not say anything more."
"Get up, you and Fuliu go out together."
She stroked the scriptures delicately and recited softly, and her delicate face looked even more sacred.
There was pity and coldness in her eyes, as if nothing was pleasing to her eyes.
Here, Bodhi and Fuliu walked out of the room together. Bodhi was stunned when he heard the chanting in the room.
"The young lady has become a different person since entering the palace. She even looks a bit disillusioned with the secular world."
Fu Liu patted her head gently.
"You don't understand. The young lady hasn't changed. It's just that after entering the palace, she can no longer act as she pleases as before."
"Go and boil some water. The young lady likes to wash her face before going to bed."
"it is good."
After reciting the scriptures, Xianxian clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and concentrated. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the bright moonlight falling on the scriptures in front of her.
They come, the security.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, the Ziming Palace became busy early.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, one has to pay respects to the Queen. Today is also the first time the newlyweds meet the Queen, so it is an extremely important day.
Fuliu and Bodhi prepared their clothes early in the morning, still wearing light-colored, plain skirts.
She is slender and beautiful without any makeup.
After getting dressed, Xianxian took Fuliu to the main hall to pay her respects to Concubine Zheng in advance.
When Concubine Zheng saw Xianxian, she was slightly stunned.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the other person's beauty, and it could be seen that the other person was cool and taciturn.
Wen Changwan's personality is not at all likable, and it seems that she has no hope of being favored.
Your Majesty likes women with distinct personalities.
Concubine Zheng had a brief conversation with the two of them and then took them to Kunning Palace.
Due to their low status, the two could only follow Concubine Zheng's sedan chair on foot.
Wen Changwan was cautious and didn't dare to speak carelessly, and Xianxian was even less likely to take the initiative to talk to her.
Inside Kunning Palace.
The concubines were sitting below listening to the lecture. After Queen Wang finished her lecture, she glanced at the concubines below.
"You must serve His Majesty well and strive to have more children for His Majesty. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Queen Wang nodded with satisfaction, and it was obvious that she really enjoyed the feeling of being superior.
She was not a great beauty, but she came from a prominent family and was married to him by the late emperor, so she was the original wife of the current emperor.
Concubine Li had a beautiful face, red lips, and a graceful figure like an alluring fairy.
But when Queen Wang saw Concubine Li's charming face, a trace of disgust immediately flashed across her eyes.
At that time, the concubine entered the palace first. Concubine Li used her charm to seduce the emperor, who was still a prince, and gave birth to the eldest prince early.
This is the thorn in Queen Wang’s heart.
"Li Guifei, since there is a new person in your palace this time, you should set a good example for the other concubines and stop being petty. Do you understand?"
