Empress' Marshal's Concubine

Chapter 228 Competing for Favor

Although the main hall of Funing Palace is astonishingly magnificent, this is the first time it has played its role after the completion of Funing Palace.

It also made it a rumor that the Funing Palace, which was comparable to Wu Zetian's Shangyang Palace in terms of size and decoration, was finally verified by the concubines who came to pay their respects with their own eyes. The rumors were not exaggerated or untrue. , but everything is more than that.

Not to mention that the ground in the main hall is paved with water-blue colored glaze, and the table table placed on the main seat in the room is basically made of the dragon book table in Empress Wu Zetian's Yang Palace, the difference is only This table case is not made of gold, but the pattern of the phoenix nirvana chime polished with purple glaze, not Wu Zetian's dragon soaring purple cloud.

It’s almost summer, although it’s still spring, the morning wind is still a bit chilly, the men and women who came to pay their respects were all wearing cloaks, but they entered the main hall of Funing Palace, and they were led by maids wearing costumes representing Shangyang Palace. After they sat down according to their positions, they realized that it was just dawn outside, but the main hall was as bright as day and warm as spring without the slightest chill because of the white glazed lamps placed around the room. Sitting on the chair representing his status, after a while, he felt a little hot, so he took off the cloak on his body, and let the maid who accompanied him hold it for him.

I don't know which concubine in the palace, picked up the teacup brought by the maid who just ushered her in, opened the lid of the teacup, she let out a small exclamation, and attracted the attention of men and women who were sitting in the main hall of Funing Palace .

"This, this, this is the white peony that a foreign country paid tribute to a few days ago."

"According to ancient books, white peony is a kind of white tea. It is named because of its green leaves with a silvery white heart, which looks like a flower. After brewing, the green leaves hold tender buds, just like buds. It is made from one bud, one or two leaves of short shoots of tea tree or narcissus, and it is the best white tea."

"And it is said that white peony tea can delay aging, whiten and beautify the skin."

All of a sudden, everyone in the room was talking about the tea in his own cup on the table.

There are quite a few celebrities and elegant officials here, even if they are not refined scholars, most of them are from famous families, even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they have all seen the introduction in ancient books.

White peony is rare, and this kind of white tea is extremely rare, especially after brewing, it can bloom like a white peony.

Normally, they don't even have such good tea in their own palace, let alone bring it out to entertain people.

Treating guests like this is enough to prove the status of the master of Funing Palace in the harem.

Even in Concubine Shu's Green Bamboo Garden, they had never drank such a rare tea.

Not to mention that in the palace of Concubine Shu Di Lewu, I have never seen the servants and maids of Shangyang Palace busy in and out, so we can see who His Majesty favors.

On weekdays, it was rumored that Concubine Ning of Funing Palace was proud of being favored, which made Longyan furious, and she was out of favor from then on and was imprisoned.

But now it seems that the rumors are self-defeating.

This is not to be favored, it is clearly like Wu Zetian's will, Ning Concubine is not feeling well and needs to rest!

Look at this Funing Palace, the beautiful scenery is no worse than the Royal Garden, the plum fragrance spreads on the pavement as soon as you enter the palace gate, refreshing your heart.

Look at the servants in this palace are all served by Shangyang Palace on weekdays. The charcoal fires in other palaces have been removed shortly after Lichun, but the charcoal fires in Funing Palace are still burning very vigorously. The charcoal is different from other palaces. The charcoal here is made through a special procedure, and the spices of plum fragrance are added in the process of making it. With the burning of the charcoal fire, the room is full of plum fragrance.

"Concubine Ning is here." Xiao Xiangzi stood at the entrance of the main hall of Funing Palace, bowed his body, lifted the brocade curtain of the main hall of Funing Palace, and at the same time said loudly in the sharp voice that is unique to palace people.

The men and women in Empress Wu Zetian's palace who were present in the room stood up and saluted one after another.

Yun Ganhan wore a bright red golden phoenix peony tube top dress, covered with a light red tencel double-breasted open tulle palace dress, which was as long as the floor. With three thousand green silk combed into a gorgeous bun, purple jade hairpin and east bead tassels in the hair, and a pair of gold earrings inlaid with red round diamonds on the earlobes, paired with the charming but hideous silver Shura mask, it is even more awe-inspiring. Majestic, magnificent and graceful, with an incomparable pride in his cold eyes.

The pearl on the toe of the water-red brocade shoes on her feet, following her lotus steps, is faintly visible under the red palace dress that drags the floor.

The bursts of elegant plum fragrance followed Yun Ganhan into the main hall of Funing Palace surrounded by a large group of court ladies and maids, and drifted in the air.

Yun Ganhan put his hand on Nanny An's arm, those who looked at the embarrassment with her crystal clear and fair skin, and looked at her young masters in the harem with their heads, were secretly jealous of her flamboyant skin envious.

This is the so-called darling of heaven.Not only is it favored by His Majesty, but it also has such smooth skin that does not require deliberate maintenance.

Even though she was wearing a mask and couldn't see her face, the red phoenix robe on her body that represented the main palace had already told these people that the identity of this person was definitely not that they were a few ranks higher than them.

It's that this person is the master in the harem of the Wushi Dynasty, who really doesn't involve a trace of falsehood.

Look at his posture, His Majesty, who doesn't ask about the harem, decreed that they, the servants in the harem, should come to Funing Palace every morning to pay their respects.

Look at the people who are yelling and hugging, but they are all served by Shangyang Palace. They are the masters on weekdays, they have to be polite, who dares to order them like this!

Although she is not a queen, she dares to wear a phoenix robe that only queens can wear. The air pressure on her body is only possessed by the kind of superiors who are proud and condescending.

Although Yun Ganhan's clothes and accessories are expensive and dazzling, but the weight is directly proportional, even so, she is still tall and straight, with a soft and swaying waist, walking on the brocade shoes that would be a bit embarrassing for her to walk alone , holding Nanny An's arm, she walked steadily to the main seat covered with white fox fur and sat down firmly.

As soon as she sat down at the main seat, a very handsome maid wearing a sky-blue palace attire that only Shangyang Palace would wear, knelt on the side of the purple glazed desk with a tray in her hand. Seven delicate desserts came out, two fruit plates made of fruits tribute from foreign countries, and a plum-shaped teacup carved from white jade, which were placed on the purple glazed desk in front of Yun Ganhan's main seat.

"Your Majesty, please." After placing all the items in the tray, the maid said softly, stood up from the ground, stepped back and took the tray, and backed out.

Because Yun Ganhan didn't wake up, he was quarreled, and he was wearing heavy and beautiful clothes, hypocrisy and snakes, and all the unhappiness and dissatisfaction could be found at any time to find an excuse to vent his dark emotions, instantly disappear.

The temperature in the room is exactly the temperature that she doesn't feel cold in the clothes she wears now. Even if the room is full of people, they all have their favorite incense, but they are all covered by the plum fragrance in the room. It can be seen that Wu Zetian treats herself very well. I really cared about it, and I didn't waste myself last night, performing a virtuous and caring performance.

Picking up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, glanced at the handsome men and beauties below who were all polite, and Yun Ganhan gently opened his red lips, "They are all serving His Majesty, please excuse me!"

"Thank you, ma'am." The voices of men and women were uneven.

Yun Ganhan didn't seem to be distracted by them in the slightest, he just picked up the silver chopsticks on a glass plate of coconut cakes that Yun Ganhan liked very much in terms of appearance and taste, and picked up a Putting the coconut cake in front of his lips, he took a bite and chewed carefully. The coconut milk in his mouth was full of sweetness, which made Yun Ganhan's cold and beautiful face under the mask smile with satisfaction.

"Sit down!" Yun Ganhan said that since she returned to the palace and ate coconuts once, she liked them very much. All the coconuts brought in as tribute from foreign countries were left to her, so this coconut cake is of course only Yun Only in Funing Palace where Gan Han is located.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to find, the coconut cake made with coconut milk, milk, and bird's nest is a delicacy that cannot be bought no matter how much gold and silver you hold in your hand.

Yun Ganhan ate all the coconut biscuits on the chopsticks before speaking coldly, which was completely opposite to her expression under the mask at the moment.

When Yun Ganhan said this, everyone in the room who came to pay his respects was stunned.

They came to pay their respects, and if they didn't pay their respects, they would sit down.

Discontinued?

Or test?

No matter how you look at it, Concubine Ning doesn't seem like a person who doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so is it because she has never come to pay her respects before, but only greeted Concubine Shu Di Lewu to express her displeasure?

The corners of Yun Ganhan's eyes glanced at the men and women in fancy clothes with different expressions in the hall, and the corners of his mouth curled up with disdain and mockery.

Fight me, your morality is still far behind!

But speaking of it, Wu Zetian is really a very careful person!

Now that you know how to get someone to prepare food for you in advance, you know that this is a waste of energy!

Although the coconut cake tastes great, the method is cumbersome and time-consuming, so this coconut cake probably started to be made by Wu Zetian after he fell asleep, and it will be ready to serve.

Speaking of which, a lot of new faces really came to the harem during this period of time!

Many people have never seen it themselves!

But the old faces are basically still there. It seems that the forces behind them should still have value to Wu Zetian.

I just don't know how many of these remaining people are really just serving their own family, struggling in the big dye vat of the harem for the glory and wealth of their family, and how many of them are serving their master for the country they belong to , and in this harem endure humiliation, steal information, and strive for the best interests of their own country...
