The Legend of Nanshan Jun

After the fire in Nanshan Pavilion, I stayed in Cui Minglang's Donghua Pavilion.

Master, when I meet the Empress Dowager later, there will be a female concubine present, how about this servant girl change into this moon-white palace robe for you? "Dieyi whispered in my ear.

The outfit Dieyi made for me was thoughtful. The female concubines in the harem are all complicated and luxurious, but the male concubines are much simpler.

And this brand new moon-white palace robe was bestowed by the emperor when I was canonized some time ago, it perfectly matches my temperament, low-key but not simple.

"Is the Queen Mother surnamed Wang?" I asked suddenly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother is Wang Guifei's aunt."

"Is the emperor not the empress dowager's parent?" I asked again.

Dieyi nodded, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the master suddenly ask this question?"

"Help me change into a more flamboyant palace robe, bright and elegant but not vulgar." My finger pointed to the Linglong dot emerald crown in the dowry, "The ribbon wrapped around the bun should be embroidered with gold and auspicious clouds."

"This..." Die Yi hesitated, "The Empress Dowager doesn't like the harem concubines dressed up too enchantingly, what is the master's plan for dressing up today?"

Facing the bright and refined self in the mirror, I nodded with some satisfaction.

Then I painted carefully in front of the bronze mirror, which added a different kind of style.

"The empress dowager monopolizes the power of the harem. Naturally, she wants to support the noble concubine, but the empress dowager's own son is the first emperor, and the first emperor was the emperor... What do you think the empress dowager has in mind for the emperor? Naturally, the empress dowager does not like beautiful concubines competing for favor in order to protect the king and noble concubine. The male concubine... has no worries about heirs, and can fly to other female concubines. The Queen Mother is happy to see it, and will not refuse. Otherwise, I trespassed on the Palace of Longevity, and caused the Nanshan Pavilion to catch fire. Many incidents will definitely make the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable Reasons to punish me, and if you see that I have the qualifications to compete for favor, it will be a different calculation."

In this harem, the most troublesome thing for the Empress Dowager should be Concubine Shu. Seeing a male concubine who can make Concubine Shu lose color should be something that the Empress Dowager is happy to see.

"It's still the master who is thoughtful, and the servants admire it."

"Remember not to fall into the vulgar, otherwise it is not fighting for spring, but stupid." I reminded.

"Master, don't worry, Dieyi understands."

Because Cui Minglang had something to do and was going to be late, I went to Yanxiang Palace alone.

It was the first time I formally came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. I deliberately dressed neatly and waited outside the palace gate early.

I want the Empress Dowager to see that I am outstanding in appearance and can be cultivated, but I must not be arrogant or rude.

After a while, several concubines came one after another, all female concubines.

I rarely walk around in the harem, and I have never been in contact with concubines. Just looking at their faces and accessories, I can't accurately judge their status. Fortunately, Dieyi saluted them one by one before me, and I was able to make no mistakes. .

"Slaves send greetings to Ye Meiren and Zhao Cairen."

They all bowed slightly to me, "Mr. Xigui is polite."

According to the rank, I am a noble gentleman of the third rank, one level older than the talented people of the fifth rank and the beauties of the fourth rank, so I don’t need to salute, but when I first met them, I politely returned the salute, "You two sisters are polite."

A sneer came from nowhere, "Sister, that's really affectionate."

Dieyi whispered in my ear, "Master, this is Concubine Shu."

I just raised my head and looked at the person coming.

This is a beautiful and bright woman, her eyebrows are slightly raised, making her look a little arrogant, but the little beauty spot at the end of her eyebrows adds a touch of charm, which is unforgettable.

This kind of appearance is also rare in this harem, and it is not unusual to be favored.

I just don't like her character.

I gave her a slight salute, and said lightly, "How old is this gentleman, it is reasonable to call me younger sister."

Concubine Shu smiled lightly, seeming to be disdainful, "Let's forget it, my sister's whole body is shaking when I hear Mr. Xigui's voice. Could it be that's how she serves His Majesty?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Our concubines are not as skilled as Mr. Xi Gui, who can enter the Palace of Longevity to seduce Your Majesty." Mo Cairen beside her echoed, with disdain for me in his eyes.

I closed my eyes to hide the displeasure in my heart.

I know the eloquence of concubines, it is useless to argue with them, it will only leave the impression of narrow-mindedness.

Someone suddenly asked, "Concubine Shu, I wonder how Mr. Xigui's appearance compares to Brother Ling?"

Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly, she raised her head to look at me carefully, and sneered haughtily, "We Ya'er dare not compare with Mr. Xigui."

I lowered my head and said nothing, I don't know what she meant, I just smiled wryly in my heart.

Mo Cairen said with a charming smile, "Your younger brother's appearance is unparalleled in the world, but it's a pity that he never entered the palace, otherwise what a feast for the eyes of the courtiers and concubines."

"Yeah," said another person, glancing at me, "otherwise I wouldn't be the only one out there."

"What is Lin Xiuyi talking about, talking nonsense in front of the imperial concubine?" Concubine Shu De, Wang Guifei, Wang Jieyu and others came.

Concubine Wang smiled gently, Lin Xiuyi and Mo Cairen hurriedly saluted Concubine Wang and Concubine Shu De.

Lin Xiuyi hurriedly replied with a red face, "Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty is graceful and luxurious, and all the sisters have their own fragrances. It is the concubine's slip of the tongue."

Wang Guifei waved her hand and gave me a slight agreement.

I also saluted her back.

These women are all talented and beautiful, among them, Wang Jieyu and Wang Guifei have similar eyebrows and eyes, presumably they are related by blood.

It's just that compared to Wang Guifei's peacefulness, Wang Jieyu's expression towards me is not friendly.

She didn't look at me directly, but just smiled at Fang Shengze who was walking over, "Fang Guijun, your male concubine is so rude, you didn't even salute me when you saw me."

"That's right, and the male concubine is more beautifully dressed than our female concubine, it's really unmanly!"

"Masculinity?" The two looked at each other and giggled coquettishly.

"You two have sharp mouths," Fang Shengze sighed helplessly, but he wasn't even half annoyed. When he looked at me, he looked at me with an inexplicable search, "Mr. Xigui really shines today."

He was talking about Mr. Xi Gui, a very common but reasonable title.

Presumably he is also very dissatisfied with my recent favor.

I lowered my head slightly, "Fang Guijun is also unparalleled in handsomeness."

Compared to my beauty, Fang Shengze's appearance has profound features, and since he was young, he has been well-maintained in brocade clothes and food, so he looks even more handsome under the imprint of this male concubine's palace robe.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Jun En is so profound, and now I see you again, and you are actually a different person." Then he whispered in my ear, "It's hidden very deeply!"

I only smiled implicitly. I expected his words. Back then I deliberately changed my appearance to be mediocre, but now I deliberately painted it into a bright color. The difference between the two is insignificant, and I have never had a deep friendship with him. Of course I won't go into details.

"Brother Ling Xi, long time no see." Sima Qingyan walked over gently and patted my shoulder, "The fire at Nanshan Pavilion didn't hurt you, did it?"

"After a few days of recuperation, it's all right now."

"That's good!" Sima Qingyan, with his lively personality, talked to several female concubines in a short while, as if he didn't notice the change in me, and there were many male concubines gathered around Fang Shengze.
