[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus
Chapter 84 Day 84 of Gongdou
After a while, all the show girls picked out jewelry.
After seeing the jewelry they each selected, everyone couldn't help showing meaningful expressions on their faces.
Four of the show girls selected very good jewelry, among them was Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu. Concubine Gao looked at Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu with deep eyes. Her face turned pale, but Suo Chuo Luoxiu Nu didn't dare to back down, let alone regret it, she had just taken the first step, if she backed down at the first step, then the empress might not reuse her in the future.
Sure enough, the queen sized Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu lightly, nodded calmly, and said with a smile: "Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu looks pretty, and this plum blossom jade hairpin I picked is just right."
Suo Chuoluo Xiu Nu suddenly felt like hearing the sound of nature, her slightly pale face turned rosy, her eyes sparkled, and she bowed her knees with restrained joy and restraint, "Xiu Nu thanked the empress for her compliment."
The queen nodded with a smile, and then looked at the others. Although the other three beautiful women were inferior to Suo Chuoluo's beautiful women, they all had their own merits.
She is quite pretty, and her future is uncertain. She thought about it and praised a few words, but she didn't say a word about others.
Concubine Gao and the others quietly wrote down the names of these beautiful girls. Gu Qianqian noticed that the beautiful girl Niu only picked one silver hairpin, and this beautiful girl was the first one to pick, and she had no intention of taking refuge in her at all. What the queen meant was really not to give the queen any face.She thought about it, and vaguely guessed what this beautiful girl was thinking. She probably felt that after entering the palace, the queen mother was behind her, so she didn't have to bow down and sell herself to the queen, that's why she was so careless.
This is true, Gu Qianqian's tongue touched her palate, her eyelids drooped, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and the smile in her eyes was covered up.
Is there a vase with beauty but no brains?
Just as she was thinking like this, she heard Concubine Gao talking to her with a smile, "Sister Concubine Xian, the empress has given you jewelry, do you have any gifts for the ladies here?"
Gu Qianqian raised her eyelids, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled up. She smiled before saying a word, her eyes turned, and she looked at the beautiful girls, "Although the concubine brought some meeting gifts, it's just a little flimsy. I'm afraid that the beautiful girls won't like it." .”
All the beautiful girls here have heard of Concubine Xian's reputation before entering the palace, and they even met Concubine Xian during the primary election, but at that time they were all nervous and apprehensive, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. I have seen Concubine Xian's appearance.
This time when they really saw it, everyone just felt their eyes flashing, and they were instantly fascinated by it. The jade is clean and beautiful, with icy muscles and bones. Although it is dressed in a simple and elegant lotus blue lotus pattern flag dress, it does not damage the beauty in the slightest.Even among the concubines who are fat, swallows and thin, everyone can only see her face at a glance.
What is the beauty of the country, this is the case.
Both Niu Yulu Xiunu and Suo Chuoluo Xiunu have always been proud of their appearance, especially Niu Yulu Xiunu. She has been favored by thousands of people because of her appearance since childhood. In the family, even she Her older brothers were not as favored as her. After entering the palace, even if she saw Suo Chuo Luoxiu, Niu Gulu Xiunv would not take her seriously, but now, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Concubine Gao Guifei saw the staring looks of the beautiful girls below, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth secretly, they were all trash, they just met face to face, they were so useless, how could they be expected to fight against Concubine Xian in the future.
"Cough cough." Concubine Gao cast a look at Nanny Song, and Nanny Song coughed heavily, and all the beautiful ladies came back to their senses, and after realizing the reaction, they couldn't help but blushed and lowered their heads.
Niu Yulu Xiunu seemed to want to win the game, and said seriously: "The gift from the empress must be good, how can Xiunu not like it."
The smile on Gu Qianqian's lips deepened, she nodded to Du Juan and Gui Zhi, and they went down holding the box, "I have prepared these palace flowers, including peonies, peonies and lilies, which must be very suitable for you ladies."
The format this time is not for the ladies to choose, but for Du Juan and Guizhi to walk over one by one and take out palace flowers and deliver them to the ladies.
After the distribution was over, the show girls held the palace flowers in their hands and secretly admired in their hearts, the palace flowers are rare, but for them, show girls from rich and noble backgrounds, it is not a rare thing.But today the palace flowers rewarded by Concubine Xian all have a floral fragrance, which is fresh and elegant, far better than the sachets, and I don't know what method Concubine Xian used to make the palace flowers have such a graceful fragrance.
When Suo Chuo Luoxiu was lowering her head and sniffing the fragrance carefully, she caught a glimpse of Niu Gulu Xiunu next to her holding two peony palace flowers in her hands from the corner of her eye. The girl swept across her body, and when she saw other people, either peony or lily, she couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
She has already noticed, how come the queen and others don't know about it?
The empress and Concubine Gao had meaningful expressions on their faces. Everyone else took the lily and peony, but Niu Yulu Xiunv got the peony. Could it be that Concubine Xian wanted to put the treasure on Niu Yuluxiu's body?
"My sister's palace flower is unique, but why are there only two of these peonies?" the queen asked softly, her attitude was extraordinarily soft.
Niu Coluxiu shook her hands, and her eyebrows and eyes quickly flashed surprise and worry. The peony flower she liked just now suddenly became a hot potato, and she couldn't take it or throw it away.
"This peony is the king of flowers, so naturally it should be matched with the most beautiful girl." Gu Qianqian felt more and more happy when she saw Niu Yulu's beautiful girl who looked like she had seen a ghost, "Therefore, the concubine only prepared two .”
Niu Coluxiu's face first showed pride, and then she was a little distressed. Although she liked Concubine Xian's words very much, Concubine Xian was someone the Empress Dowager hated. She was favored by Concubine Xian, but she had nothing to eat.
"Concubine Xian, Xiu Nu is afraid..." Niu Gulu Xiu Nu thought over and over again, but dared not take the palace flower.
But before she finished speaking, the queen interrupted her directly, "Since Concubine Xian has given you all the flowers, you can take them with peace of mind. When you re-election, remember to wear this palace flower, which is also worthy of Concubine Xian." Empress's mind."
The queen's words have come to this point, how can Niu Gulu Xiunv refuse, she can only nod and say yes.
Concubine Gao Gui was at the side, looking at the situation with thoughtful eyes.
After a while, the embroiderers came to tailor the clothes for the beautiful girls. It was supposed to be the time for the beautiful girls to be happy, but now, everyone was a little absent-minded, and their thoughts were all around the beautiful girls Niu Yulu.
There is no first in this article, and there is no second in martial arts.This time, everyone in the draft is rushing to stay in the harem and make a fortune. Everyone thinks that they are not bad, and they are secretly competing. But now, the beautiful girl Niu Yulu has won the peony of Concubine Xian and the approval of Concubine Xian She is the most beautiful among them, how can this make them feel good?
Some beautiful women are secretly planning in their hearts, and the meaning of Concubine Xian is so clear, is it possible that they want to recruit Niu Yulu's beautiful women?If this is the case, then if they join forces, the harem will not be the two of them.
However, Xiunu, who knew about the relationship between Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother, was completely confused, not knowing what Concubine Xian was planning, just like the queen and Concubine Gao now.
The queen was drinking tea, and her eyes fell on Gu Qianqian involuntarily. She really didn't understand what the purpose of Concubine Xian was this time. She was not surprised that Concubine Xian recruited anyone, but she found it unbelievable to recruit Niu Coluxiu. .
She wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Concubine Xian was just a whim, but she didn't believe that Concubine Xian was really optimistic about Niu Yulu Xiunv, among other things, the chances of Niu Yulu Xiunv staying in the harem were very slim. Son, she doesn't believe that Concubine Xian can't see through.So, what good does it do for Concubine Xian to make friends with such a beautiful girl who will soon be dismissed from the palace?Is it just to appease the Empress Dowager?
The more the queen thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand. She looked at Gui Zhi, who was waiting beside Concubine Xian, and gritted her teeth secretly. She thought that she would be able to figure out Concubine Xian's arrangement today, but now it seems that she just messed up the situation. more complicated.
Guizhi stared at the burning gaze of the queen above, and did not dare to lift his head.
After a while, all the show girls took their quantity, and Concubine Gao kept them for tea and snacks. Other concubines also took this opportunity to talk to the show girls. The girls leave.
Today's result can be regarded as a happy event for the host and guest. Except for the concubine Xian's matter which confused everyone, everyone else has satisfied their goals.
The show girls were tense when they were in Zhongcui Palace, but they relaxed after they arrived at Chuxiu Palace.
This has been in Zhongcui Palace for more than an hour, they just feel that life is like a year, and it is more difficult than learning the rules in Chuxiu Palace.
"It can be regarded as coming back. Just now in the Zhongcui Palace, my legs were so weak that I could barely walk." Qi Jiaxiu put the things in her hands on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead .
It's already June, and they're still sweating, which shows how scared they were in Zhongcui Palace just now.
"What are you afraid of?" Ning Xiunv took a sip of the tea cup, and glanced at Niu Gulu Xiunv, "Niu Gulu Xiunv didn't say anything, we people have nothing to be afraid of."
The pace of Niu Yulu's show girls paused. The draft has its own rules. The four show girls live in the same room. It's not too much to deal with, and the two people's family backgrounds are not bad, so they are not afraid to show Niu Coluxiu's face. Seeing Niu Coluxiu's big limelight today, I am already unhappy in my heart.
She turned her head and looked at Ning Xiunu with a sullen face, "What do you want to say?
Captured by her eyes, Ning Xiunv was stunned, she pulled the corners of her lips, not only did not flinch, but also pushed forward, "We didn't say anything, if Niu Colu Xiunv is not satisfied with what we said, then And please don't take it to heart."
"Sister Ning, you are too polite. She just put on a face when we said a few words casually, and if you don't know, she thinks we are her servants." Qi Jiaxiu said with a sneer.
The more Niu Gulu listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. If it was normal, she would definitely have a good fight with these two lowly maidservants, and she would not let it go until she got justice, but this time she was in a mess, and she didn't want to Talking to these two people, he glared at them viciously, put down the things in his hands, turned and left.
She thought in her heart, it's all the fault of Concubine Xian, who praised her well for what she did and caused so many troubles for her!
How did Niu Gulu think that this was just the beginning, and in the next few days, Changchun Palace sent a lot of things to Chuxiu Palace, such as pastries, rouge powder, etc. Although the gifts were given to all the beautiful women , but Niu Colu Xiunv often gets the best.
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.
Under such circumstances, even Suo Chuo Luoxiu felt jealous of her.
"The pair of emerald bracelets were given to Niu Colu Xiunu?" Concubine Gao was admiring the makeup just done, and upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at Bu Shiren.
"Yes." Bushren replied.
"Tsk." Concubine Gao raised her brows, she put down the mahogany comb, and frowned, showing puzzlement and doubt, "I don't understand what Concubine Xian is doing now, could it be that she wants to arouse the attention of other beautiful girls?" Niu Yuluxiu's jealousy, let them attack Niu Yuluxiu?"
Busch Ren thought for a while, then shook his head, "Mother, if that's the case, then Empress Xian has made a wrong calculation. No matter how jealous Niu Coluxiu is, no one will attack her."
Just kidding, Niu Yuluxiu is behind the queen mother, if she is found out, there will be no good fruit to eat, and she will end up with her head on the ground.Unless you're an idiot, you would never want to do that.
"That's why I haven't done anything these days." Concubine Gao curled her lips and said, if she was the one who didn't want Niu Yuluxiu to enter the palace, she was the only one in the harem.Concubine Gao knew that the Empress Dowager had always been very fond of her, but that was because the Empress Dowager had no other choice, and because the Empress Dowager asked for help from their family, she would always help her.But if the queen mother's grandniece enters the palace, the situation is different.Niu Guluxiu is young and beautiful, and she is also a relative of the Queen Mother. At that time, the Queen Mother will definitely help Niu Guluxiu in every way. This is not what Gao Guifei wants to see.
But even though she was aware of the situation, Concubine Gao did not do anything to Niu Coluxiu these days. Others did not know the Queen Mother. After all, Concubine Gao had been with her for so many years, she naturally knew the Queen Mother far better than others.Over the years, Lord Long Live has been restricting the power of the Empress Dowager, unwilling to let the Empress Dowager extend her hand into the harem, but she can guard against it on the surface, but her secret methods are hard to guard against.Now she doesn't know who is the queen mother's person in the harem, and which eunuch and maid of Chuxiu palace is the queen mother's eyeliner.
Maybe the Queen Mother would know everything before she even made a move, and that would be more harm than good.
"Your Majesty, the re-election is coming soon. No matter what Concubine Xian's plan is, we will know on that day. Now, our most important thing is to win over those beautiful women." Buschren reminded in a low voice.
Concubine Gao Guifei glanced at him, then lightly raised her finger, "What does Qi Jiaxiu say..."
"You seem to have taken good care of the Chuxiu Palace these days." After the ups and downs, Qianlong's body was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his well-defined muscles trembled slightly with his breathing. , lying lazily on him, "Long Live Lord is here to ask."
Hearing these words, Qianlong couldn't help laughing, his voice was hoarse and masculine after the cloud and rain, "Listen to what you said, but I'm looking forward to asking you?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Qianqian played with Qianlong's fingers. His palms were wide and his fingers were well-articulated. They were covered with calluses from riding and shooting. I went to find you, so you can only come to find my concubine."
Hearing her nonsense, Qianlong only felt annoyed and amused, "What's the reason for this? You come to find me, and it's the same as when I come to you, isn't that the same?"
Gu Qianqian blinked her eyes, "What's the matter? You come to ask the concubine about this, so that the concubine can pretend to be flustered and tell the lie that the concubine has prepared, so that you will believe me, Lord Long Live."
The more Qianlong heard it, the more he felt that it was not good. He pinched Gu Qianqian's face, propped himself up, and looked down at her, "Now I am more courageous, and I don't even want to lie to me."
Gu Qianqian wrinkled her nose, "Okay, okay, then the concubine will try to deceive you." She lowered her eyebrows and showed a pitiful look in an instant, "Long live, this concubine is doing this to alienate you. The love between Coluxiu and the Empress Dowager, I want Niu Coluxiu to help my concubines in the future."
Seeing her like this, Qianlong was silent for a moment, then let go of his hand pinching her face, "This is a lie, what about the truth?"
"Is it the truth?" Gu Qianqian's eyes rolled, and the pitiful look disappeared instantly, replaced by a shallow and calm smile, "The concubine caressing Niu Coluxiu like this is to solve the problem for the Long Live Lord."
"Nu Guluxiu is a hot potato to Long Live Lord. You don't want to keep her, but if you don't keep her, you will hurt the Queen Mother's face, so the concubine wants to be the villain herself and marry Niu Guluxiu Be a side Fujin for big brother."
"Yonghuang?" Qianlong was startled, as if he just remembered that he had such a son.
Gu Qianqian shook her head secretly in her heart, no wonder people say that the emperor is ruthless, this first son can be ignored so much, that elder brother is really pitiful, she nodded slightly, just pretending that she didn't realize that Qianlong had forgotten about this son , softly said: "Elder brother has reached the age, it is time to start a family and start a business. Originally, this matter should be worried about by the elder brother's mother, but Zhefei left early, and the concubine can only take the liberty to ask."
Qianlong had a look of embarrassment on his face. If Concubine Xian hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it. Speaking of which, did Yonghuang ever send a maid to teach personnel affairs?
When Qianlong thought of this, his heart became more and more guilty. He felt that the answer would probably embarrass him. After all, such things are usually asked by the elders, and he was too busy. It's gone, probably no one will take the initiative to talk about it, this is really embarrassing, he quickly covered his expression, said: "You have done a good job, I also have this plan, but I don't know which girl to choose That's good."
I want to believe you, I'm a pig, Gu Qianqian thought in her heart, this big pig's hoof obviously just remembered this son just now, and she's still pretending.She smiled, "Long live Lord really cares about my elder brothers, it seems that the concubine is unnecessary."
"No, no." Qianlong immediately shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. He would not bring Niu Yulu Xiunu into the harem, but if he didn't want to hurt the Empress Dowager, he had to arrange for Niu Baolu Xiunu. There is no way out, and the elder brother just reached the age to arrange a marriage.With Niu Yulu's beautiful daughter's family background, it's not enough to be a first-born Fujin for the big brother, but it's just right to be a side Fujin.
Qianlong nodded his head and praised: "You have a good idea. From my point of view, other beautiful women are not as good as Niu Yulu's beautiful women. Letting her be Yong Huang's side Fujin is not wronging Yong Huang."
Gu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "The concubine also thinks so."
This idea is a good idea for everyone, especially for her.
"Qianqian is really pure and honest," Qianlong stroked her hair in satisfaction, "I know all about your good intentions."
Gu Qianqian leaned in Qianlong's arms, "The concubine just did what she was supposed to do, how can she be so praised by the Long Live Lord." Her plan from the beginning was very simple. She was originally on Qianlong's side, so she naturally had to work for Qianlong , and offend the Queen Mother once, or twice, does it make any difference to her?Therefore, she simply took this opportunity to give herself a good impression. It is estimated that Qianlong now thought that she was willing to take the risk to offend the Queen Mother in order to help him solve the problem.
This big pig's trotter must have been extremely moved in his heart.
But apart from this purpose, Gu Qianqian also has another purpose, which is to use Niu Gulu to cover up the beautiful woman she really wants to keep. In the past few days, Chuxiu Palace has been fighting openly and secretly, and everyone has tried their best to kill the opponent's superior.At this time, the more prominent you are, the greater the risk. Didn't you feel scared when you didn't look at that Suo Chuo Luo show girl?
But not all show girls are as immobile as Niu Colu's show girls.
"Long Live Lord, I have something to ask you..." Gu Qianqian raised her head and said, "Chen Qie only lives in the Changchun Palace. Changchun Palace?"
"What's the matter, do you have a beautiful girl?" Qianlong asked.
"There is a Yehra show girl..."
……
The night is fading away.
The day of re-election came very quickly. On this day, Qianlong, the queen mother and empress all gathered in the imperial garden.
Historically, most of the drafts are held in the Imperial Garden, for no other reason. This draft is really too boring. Four or five women in a row will make their appearances, roll their names, and then leave signs or post signs. Although they are all beauties, there are many people. It's really boring, and I can't have a song and dance performance like the later generations. Therefore, whether I can leave a sign, many times I really don't look at the face, but the family background.
Niu Guluxiu and Suo Chuoluo Xiunv happened to be in the same row, and they stepped forward together with other Xiunv, bowing their knees to salute.
The eunuch in charge began to roll the names, and the first one to be called was Niu Gulu Xiunv: "Niu Guluxiu, the eldest daughter of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, at the age of sixteen."
Many concubines on the seat looked at her. These days, Niu Yuluxiu has a great reputation in the harem. Everyone in the harem doesn't know her, but when they heard that Ama was just a foreigner from the Ministry of Industry, they all revealed A look of regret.
Most of the positions given to this show girl at the beginning were based on her family background, but a daughter of Yuanwailang, even if she is related to the Queen Mother, is probably the highest and only a permanent presence.
"Raise your head and let me have a look." Qianlong said in a leisurely manner, rubbing the teacup.
Niu Yuluxiu clenched her hands nervously. She raised her head and looked at the Lord of the World, the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Her breathing was a little short. She seemed to have seen her own bright and beautiful future. Well, who in the harem has a queen dowager to rely on like her. With a queen dowager, no matter how low her status is, she will become a concubine or even a queen sooner or later.
"It looks very virtuous and cautious, what does the empress think?" Qianlong looked sideways at the empress and asked.
The queen glanced at Niu Colu's beautiful girl. The beautiful girl was already blushing, and she was probably complacent. She thought about it and said, "Long Live Lord is very true."
"In this case, let's keep the sign," Qianlong nodded decisively and said with a smile on the Queen Mother's face. She was about to say a few words to praise Niu Yulu's beautiful daughter, so as to help Niu Yulu Xiunu made a fuss, and Qianlong continued to say: "Yonghuang has reached his age, Niu Gulu Xiunu should be Yonghuang's side Fujin."
Everyone was stunned for an instant.
The queen mother lost her composure even more rarely, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Qianlong, "Long live Lord, this..."
"Empress Dowager, I think this arrangement is very good. With Niu Gulu's family background, Yonghuang is worthy of being a side Fujin." Qianlong said without explanation.
The Empress Dowager's face turned blue and green. She didn't mean that Niu Gulu was not worthy of the position of Fang Fujin, but that she was unwilling to arrange Qianlong's arrangement.The Empress Dowager would not care even if this beautiful daughter of Niu Yulu became Yonghuang's heir to a Fujin, she knew her son like a mother, how could the Empress Dowager not know that Qianlong didn't value Yonghuang's eldest son at all, so if she became a Fujin for him, what would she do in the future?It's better to give Qianlong a promise, if she gives birth to a prince in the future, maybe the mother is more expensive than the child, and it's not sure to be a queen!
The Empress Dowager was full of reluctance, but after Qianlong had spoken, she couldn't say much, and she had to smile, "The emperor is right, this marriage is not bad."
Niu Guluxiu's eyes were red, she was about to cry, and she had to follow Xie En.
The other show girls were secretly happy.
It's great now, leaving Niu Colu Xiunu, they will have one less rival.
Except for Niu Yulu's show girl, the next draft progressed very quickly. Qianlong only kept the brands of seven show girls this time. The other show girls will stay in the harem in the future, and the six show girls are overjoyed. Among them are Qi Jia show girls and Suo Chuo Luo show girls. The queen and Gao Guifei are very satisfied with the result.
With today's result, it is estimated that everyone in the harem is very happy except for the empress dowager who is not happy.
"That's great, why did Lord Long Live suddenly think of giving Yaliqi to Yonghuang as a side Fujin?" After the Queen Mother returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she was furious.
Qian Momo thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, "Empress Dowager, could this be what Concubine Xian meant?"
The queen mother was stunned, and then she realized in an instant that Concubine Xian might really be responsible for this. She said why Concubine Xian treats Ya Liqi so well these days, if it is to betroth Ya Liqi to Da Ah Brother, it all makes sense!
"It's Concubine Xian, that bitch again!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth angrily, this time calling Concubine Xian what she wanted, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"The empress dowager calm down, you are so angry that your body is ruined, it's not worth it. You have to deal with concubine Xian, it's just a matter of one sentence, the time is long, it won't work this time, there will be another chance in the future." Seeing the empress dowager, mother Qian was so angry Too much, quickly relieved.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, nodded her head, took a deep breath to suppress her anger, and said, "Go and call Mother Zhou, the Ai family has something to tell her."
"Yes." Qian Momo immediately agreed. She knew that the Queen Mother probably wanted Zhou Momo to transfer and teach others. This time, Niu Colu Yaliqi would not succeed. There will be more opportunities in the future. Zhou Momo is best at It is to train and teach the Yangzhou skinny horse, as long as the girl she teaches, there will be no girl who does not please men.
After seeing the jewelry they each selected, everyone couldn't help showing meaningful expressions on their faces.
Four of the show girls selected very good jewelry, among them was Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu. Concubine Gao looked at Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu with deep eyes. Her face turned pale, but Suo Chuo Luoxiu Nu didn't dare to back down, let alone regret it, she had just taken the first step, if she backed down at the first step, then the empress might not reuse her in the future.
Sure enough, the queen sized Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu lightly, nodded calmly, and said with a smile: "Suo Chuo Luo Xiu Nu looks pretty, and this plum blossom jade hairpin I picked is just right."
Suo Chuoluo Xiu Nu suddenly felt like hearing the sound of nature, her slightly pale face turned rosy, her eyes sparkled, and she bowed her knees with restrained joy and restraint, "Xiu Nu thanked the empress for her compliment."
The queen nodded with a smile, and then looked at the others. Although the other three beautiful women were inferior to Suo Chuoluo's beautiful women, they all had their own merits.
She is quite pretty, and her future is uncertain. She thought about it and praised a few words, but she didn't say a word about others.
Concubine Gao and the others quietly wrote down the names of these beautiful girls. Gu Qianqian noticed that the beautiful girl Niu only picked one silver hairpin, and this beautiful girl was the first one to pick, and she had no intention of taking refuge in her at all. What the queen meant was really not to give the queen any face.She thought about it, and vaguely guessed what this beautiful girl was thinking. She probably felt that after entering the palace, the queen mother was behind her, so she didn't have to bow down and sell herself to the queen, that's why she was so careless.
This is true, Gu Qianqian's tongue touched her palate, her eyelids drooped, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and the smile in her eyes was covered up.
Is there a vase with beauty but no brains?
Just as she was thinking like this, she heard Concubine Gao talking to her with a smile, "Sister Concubine Xian, the empress has given you jewelry, do you have any gifts for the ladies here?"
Gu Qianqian raised her eyelids, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled up. She smiled before saying a word, her eyes turned, and she looked at the beautiful girls, "Although the concubine brought some meeting gifts, it's just a little flimsy. I'm afraid that the beautiful girls won't like it." .”
All the beautiful girls here have heard of Concubine Xian's reputation before entering the palace, and they even met Concubine Xian during the primary election, but at that time they were all nervous and apprehensive, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. I have seen Concubine Xian's appearance.
This time when they really saw it, everyone just felt their eyes flashing, and they were instantly fascinated by it. The jade is clean and beautiful, with icy muscles and bones. Although it is dressed in a simple and elegant lotus blue lotus pattern flag dress, it does not damage the beauty in the slightest.Even among the concubines who are fat, swallows and thin, everyone can only see her face at a glance.
What is the beauty of the country, this is the case.
Both Niu Yulu Xiunu and Suo Chuoluo Xiunu have always been proud of their appearance, especially Niu Yulu Xiunu. She has been favored by thousands of people because of her appearance since childhood. In the family, even she Her older brothers were not as favored as her. After entering the palace, even if she saw Suo Chuo Luoxiu, Niu Gulu Xiunv would not take her seriously, but now, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Concubine Gao Guifei saw the staring looks of the beautiful girls below, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth secretly, they were all trash, they just met face to face, they were so useless, how could they be expected to fight against Concubine Xian in the future.
"Cough cough." Concubine Gao cast a look at Nanny Song, and Nanny Song coughed heavily, and all the beautiful ladies came back to their senses, and after realizing the reaction, they couldn't help but blushed and lowered their heads.
Niu Yulu Xiunu seemed to want to win the game, and said seriously: "The gift from the empress must be good, how can Xiunu not like it."
The smile on Gu Qianqian's lips deepened, she nodded to Du Juan and Gui Zhi, and they went down holding the box, "I have prepared these palace flowers, including peonies, peonies and lilies, which must be very suitable for you ladies."
The format this time is not for the ladies to choose, but for Du Juan and Guizhi to walk over one by one and take out palace flowers and deliver them to the ladies.
After the distribution was over, the show girls held the palace flowers in their hands and secretly admired in their hearts, the palace flowers are rare, but for them, show girls from rich and noble backgrounds, it is not a rare thing.But today the palace flowers rewarded by Concubine Xian all have a floral fragrance, which is fresh and elegant, far better than the sachets, and I don't know what method Concubine Xian used to make the palace flowers have such a graceful fragrance.
When Suo Chuo Luoxiu was lowering her head and sniffing the fragrance carefully, she caught a glimpse of Niu Gulu Xiunu next to her holding two peony palace flowers in her hands from the corner of her eye. The girl swept across her body, and when she saw other people, either peony or lily, she couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
She has already noticed, how come the queen and others don't know about it?
The empress and Concubine Gao had meaningful expressions on their faces. Everyone else took the lily and peony, but Niu Yulu Xiunv got the peony. Could it be that Concubine Xian wanted to put the treasure on Niu Yuluxiu's body?
"My sister's palace flower is unique, but why are there only two of these peonies?" the queen asked softly, her attitude was extraordinarily soft.
Niu Coluxiu shook her hands, and her eyebrows and eyes quickly flashed surprise and worry. The peony flower she liked just now suddenly became a hot potato, and she couldn't take it or throw it away.
"This peony is the king of flowers, so naturally it should be matched with the most beautiful girl." Gu Qianqian felt more and more happy when she saw Niu Yulu's beautiful girl who looked like she had seen a ghost, "Therefore, the concubine only prepared two .”
Niu Coluxiu's face first showed pride, and then she was a little distressed. Although she liked Concubine Xian's words very much, Concubine Xian was someone the Empress Dowager hated. She was favored by Concubine Xian, but she had nothing to eat.
"Concubine Xian, Xiu Nu is afraid..." Niu Gulu Xiu Nu thought over and over again, but dared not take the palace flower.
But before she finished speaking, the queen interrupted her directly, "Since Concubine Xian has given you all the flowers, you can take them with peace of mind. When you re-election, remember to wear this palace flower, which is also worthy of Concubine Xian." Empress's mind."
The queen's words have come to this point, how can Niu Gulu Xiunv refuse, she can only nod and say yes.
Concubine Gao Gui was at the side, looking at the situation with thoughtful eyes.
After a while, the embroiderers came to tailor the clothes for the beautiful girls. It was supposed to be the time for the beautiful girls to be happy, but now, everyone was a little absent-minded, and their thoughts were all around the beautiful girls Niu Yulu.
There is no first in this article, and there is no second in martial arts.This time, everyone in the draft is rushing to stay in the harem and make a fortune. Everyone thinks that they are not bad, and they are secretly competing. But now, the beautiful girl Niu Yulu has won the peony of Concubine Xian and the approval of Concubine Xian She is the most beautiful among them, how can this make them feel good?
Some beautiful women are secretly planning in their hearts, and the meaning of Concubine Xian is so clear, is it possible that they want to recruit Niu Yulu's beautiful women?If this is the case, then if they join forces, the harem will not be the two of them.
However, Xiunu, who knew about the relationship between Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother, was completely confused, not knowing what Concubine Xian was planning, just like the queen and Concubine Gao now.
The queen was drinking tea, and her eyes fell on Gu Qianqian involuntarily. She really didn't understand what the purpose of Concubine Xian was this time. She was not surprised that Concubine Xian recruited anyone, but she found it unbelievable to recruit Niu Coluxiu. .
She wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Concubine Xian was just a whim, but she didn't believe that Concubine Xian was really optimistic about Niu Yulu Xiunv, among other things, the chances of Niu Yulu Xiunv staying in the harem were very slim. Son, she doesn't believe that Concubine Xian can't see through.So, what good does it do for Concubine Xian to make friends with such a beautiful girl who will soon be dismissed from the palace?Is it just to appease the Empress Dowager?
The more the queen thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand. She looked at Gui Zhi, who was waiting beside Concubine Xian, and gritted her teeth secretly. She thought that she would be able to figure out Concubine Xian's arrangement today, but now it seems that she just messed up the situation. more complicated.
Guizhi stared at the burning gaze of the queen above, and did not dare to lift his head.
After a while, all the show girls took their quantity, and Concubine Gao kept them for tea and snacks. Other concubines also took this opportunity to talk to the show girls. The girls leave.
Today's result can be regarded as a happy event for the host and guest. Except for the concubine Xian's matter which confused everyone, everyone else has satisfied their goals.
The show girls were tense when they were in Zhongcui Palace, but they relaxed after they arrived at Chuxiu Palace.
This has been in Zhongcui Palace for more than an hour, they just feel that life is like a year, and it is more difficult than learning the rules in Chuxiu Palace.
"It can be regarded as coming back. Just now in the Zhongcui Palace, my legs were so weak that I could barely walk." Qi Jiaxiu put the things in her hands on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead .
It's already June, and they're still sweating, which shows how scared they were in Zhongcui Palace just now.
"What are you afraid of?" Ning Xiunv took a sip of the tea cup, and glanced at Niu Gulu Xiunv, "Niu Gulu Xiunv didn't say anything, we people have nothing to be afraid of."
The pace of Niu Yulu's show girls paused. The draft has its own rules. The four show girls live in the same room. It's not too much to deal with, and the two people's family backgrounds are not bad, so they are not afraid to show Niu Coluxiu's face. Seeing Niu Coluxiu's big limelight today, I am already unhappy in my heart.
She turned her head and looked at Ning Xiunu with a sullen face, "What do you want to say?
Captured by her eyes, Ning Xiunv was stunned, she pulled the corners of her lips, not only did not flinch, but also pushed forward, "We didn't say anything, if Niu Colu Xiunv is not satisfied with what we said, then And please don't take it to heart."
"Sister Ning, you are too polite. She just put on a face when we said a few words casually, and if you don't know, she thinks we are her servants." Qi Jiaxiu said with a sneer.
The more Niu Gulu listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. If it was normal, she would definitely have a good fight with these two lowly maidservants, and she would not let it go until she got justice, but this time she was in a mess, and she didn't want to Talking to these two people, he glared at them viciously, put down the things in his hands, turned and left.
She thought in her heart, it's all the fault of Concubine Xian, who praised her well for what she did and caused so many troubles for her!
How did Niu Gulu think that this was just the beginning, and in the next few days, Changchun Palace sent a lot of things to Chuxiu Palace, such as pastries, rouge powder, etc. Although the gifts were given to all the beautiful women , but Niu Colu Xiunv often gets the best.
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.
Under such circumstances, even Suo Chuo Luoxiu felt jealous of her.
"The pair of emerald bracelets were given to Niu Colu Xiunu?" Concubine Gao was admiring the makeup just done, and upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at Bu Shiren.
"Yes." Bushren replied.
"Tsk." Concubine Gao raised her brows, she put down the mahogany comb, and frowned, showing puzzlement and doubt, "I don't understand what Concubine Xian is doing now, could it be that she wants to arouse the attention of other beautiful girls?" Niu Yuluxiu's jealousy, let them attack Niu Yuluxiu?"
Busch Ren thought for a while, then shook his head, "Mother, if that's the case, then Empress Xian has made a wrong calculation. No matter how jealous Niu Coluxiu is, no one will attack her."
Just kidding, Niu Yuluxiu is behind the queen mother, if she is found out, there will be no good fruit to eat, and she will end up with her head on the ground.Unless you're an idiot, you would never want to do that.
"That's why I haven't done anything these days." Concubine Gao curled her lips and said, if she was the one who didn't want Niu Yuluxiu to enter the palace, she was the only one in the harem.Concubine Gao knew that the Empress Dowager had always been very fond of her, but that was because the Empress Dowager had no other choice, and because the Empress Dowager asked for help from their family, she would always help her.But if the queen mother's grandniece enters the palace, the situation is different.Niu Guluxiu is young and beautiful, and she is also a relative of the Queen Mother. At that time, the Queen Mother will definitely help Niu Guluxiu in every way. This is not what Gao Guifei wants to see.
But even though she was aware of the situation, Concubine Gao did not do anything to Niu Coluxiu these days. Others did not know the Queen Mother. After all, Concubine Gao had been with her for so many years, she naturally knew the Queen Mother far better than others.Over the years, Lord Long Live has been restricting the power of the Empress Dowager, unwilling to let the Empress Dowager extend her hand into the harem, but she can guard against it on the surface, but her secret methods are hard to guard against.Now she doesn't know who is the queen mother's person in the harem, and which eunuch and maid of Chuxiu palace is the queen mother's eyeliner.
Maybe the Queen Mother would know everything before she even made a move, and that would be more harm than good.
"Your Majesty, the re-election is coming soon. No matter what Concubine Xian's plan is, we will know on that day. Now, our most important thing is to win over those beautiful women." Buschren reminded in a low voice.
Concubine Gao Guifei glanced at him, then lightly raised her finger, "What does Qi Jiaxiu say..."
"You seem to have taken good care of the Chuxiu Palace these days." After the ups and downs, Qianlong's body was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his well-defined muscles trembled slightly with his breathing. , lying lazily on him, "Long Live Lord is here to ask."
Hearing these words, Qianlong couldn't help laughing, his voice was hoarse and masculine after the cloud and rain, "Listen to what you said, but I'm looking forward to asking you?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Qianqian played with Qianlong's fingers. His palms were wide and his fingers were well-articulated. They were covered with calluses from riding and shooting. I went to find you, so you can only come to find my concubine."
Hearing her nonsense, Qianlong only felt annoyed and amused, "What's the reason for this? You come to find me, and it's the same as when I come to you, isn't that the same?"
Gu Qianqian blinked her eyes, "What's the matter? You come to ask the concubine about this, so that the concubine can pretend to be flustered and tell the lie that the concubine has prepared, so that you will believe me, Lord Long Live."
The more Qianlong heard it, the more he felt that it was not good. He pinched Gu Qianqian's face, propped himself up, and looked down at her, "Now I am more courageous, and I don't even want to lie to me."
Gu Qianqian wrinkled her nose, "Okay, okay, then the concubine will try to deceive you." She lowered her eyebrows and showed a pitiful look in an instant, "Long live, this concubine is doing this to alienate you. The love between Coluxiu and the Empress Dowager, I want Niu Coluxiu to help my concubines in the future."
Seeing her like this, Qianlong was silent for a moment, then let go of his hand pinching her face, "This is a lie, what about the truth?"
"Is it the truth?" Gu Qianqian's eyes rolled, and the pitiful look disappeared instantly, replaced by a shallow and calm smile, "The concubine caressing Niu Coluxiu like this is to solve the problem for the Long Live Lord."
"Nu Guluxiu is a hot potato to Long Live Lord. You don't want to keep her, but if you don't keep her, you will hurt the Queen Mother's face, so the concubine wants to be the villain herself and marry Niu Guluxiu Be a side Fujin for big brother."
"Yonghuang?" Qianlong was startled, as if he just remembered that he had such a son.
Gu Qianqian shook her head secretly in her heart, no wonder people say that the emperor is ruthless, this first son can be ignored so much, that elder brother is really pitiful, she nodded slightly, just pretending that she didn't realize that Qianlong had forgotten about this son , softly said: "Elder brother has reached the age, it is time to start a family and start a business. Originally, this matter should be worried about by the elder brother's mother, but Zhefei left early, and the concubine can only take the liberty to ask."
Qianlong had a look of embarrassment on his face. If Concubine Xian hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it. Speaking of which, did Yonghuang ever send a maid to teach personnel affairs?
When Qianlong thought of this, his heart became more and more guilty. He felt that the answer would probably embarrass him. After all, such things are usually asked by the elders, and he was too busy. It's gone, probably no one will take the initiative to talk about it, this is really embarrassing, he quickly covered his expression, said: "You have done a good job, I also have this plan, but I don't know which girl to choose That's good."
I want to believe you, I'm a pig, Gu Qianqian thought in her heart, this big pig's hoof obviously just remembered this son just now, and she's still pretending.She smiled, "Long live Lord really cares about my elder brothers, it seems that the concubine is unnecessary."
"No, no." Qianlong immediately shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. He would not bring Niu Yulu Xiunu into the harem, but if he didn't want to hurt the Empress Dowager, he had to arrange for Niu Baolu Xiunu. There is no way out, and the elder brother just reached the age to arrange a marriage.With Niu Yulu's beautiful daughter's family background, it's not enough to be a first-born Fujin for the big brother, but it's just right to be a side Fujin.
Qianlong nodded his head and praised: "You have a good idea. From my point of view, other beautiful women are not as good as Niu Yulu's beautiful women. Letting her be Yong Huang's side Fujin is not wronging Yong Huang."
Gu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "The concubine also thinks so."
This idea is a good idea for everyone, especially for her.
"Qianqian is really pure and honest," Qianlong stroked her hair in satisfaction, "I know all about your good intentions."
Gu Qianqian leaned in Qianlong's arms, "The concubine just did what she was supposed to do, how can she be so praised by the Long Live Lord." Her plan from the beginning was very simple. She was originally on Qianlong's side, so she naturally had to work for Qianlong , and offend the Queen Mother once, or twice, does it make any difference to her?Therefore, she simply took this opportunity to give herself a good impression. It is estimated that Qianlong now thought that she was willing to take the risk to offend the Queen Mother in order to help him solve the problem.
This big pig's trotter must have been extremely moved in his heart.
But apart from this purpose, Gu Qianqian also has another purpose, which is to use Niu Gulu to cover up the beautiful woman she really wants to keep. In the past few days, Chuxiu Palace has been fighting openly and secretly, and everyone has tried their best to kill the opponent's superior.At this time, the more prominent you are, the greater the risk. Didn't you feel scared when you didn't look at that Suo Chuo Luo show girl?
But not all show girls are as immobile as Niu Colu's show girls.
"Long Live Lord, I have something to ask you..." Gu Qianqian raised her head and said, "Chen Qie only lives in the Changchun Palace. Changchun Palace?"
"What's the matter, do you have a beautiful girl?" Qianlong asked.
"There is a Yehra show girl..."
……
The night is fading away.
The day of re-election came very quickly. On this day, Qianlong, the queen mother and empress all gathered in the imperial garden.
Historically, most of the drafts are held in the Imperial Garden, for no other reason. This draft is really too boring. Four or five women in a row will make their appearances, roll their names, and then leave signs or post signs. Although they are all beauties, there are many people. It's really boring, and I can't have a song and dance performance like the later generations. Therefore, whether I can leave a sign, many times I really don't look at the face, but the family background.
Niu Guluxiu and Suo Chuoluo Xiunv happened to be in the same row, and they stepped forward together with other Xiunv, bowing their knees to salute.
The eunuch in charge began to roll the names, and the first one to be called was Niu Gulu Xiunv: "Niu Guluxiu, the eldest daughter of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, at the age of sixteen."
Many concubines on the seat looked at her. These days, Niu Yuluxiu has a great reputation in the harem. Everyone in the harem doesn't know her, but when they heard that Ama was just a foreigner from the Ministry of Industry, they all revealed A look of regret.
Most of the positions given to this show girl at the beginning were based on her family background, but a daughter of Yuanwailang, even if she is related to the Queen Mother, is probably the highest and only a permanent presence.
"Raise your head and let me have a look." Qianlong said in a leisurely manner, rubbing the teacup.
Niu Yuluxiu clenched her hands nervously. She raised her head and looked at the Lord of the World, the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Her breathing was a little short. She seemed to have seen her own bright and beautiful future. Well, who in the harem has a queen dowager to rely on like her. With a queen dowager, no matter how low her status is, she will become a concubine or even a queen sooner or later.
"It looks very virtuous and cautious, what does the empress think?" Qianlong looked sideways at the empress and asked.
The queen glanced at Niu Colu's beautiful girl. The beautiful girl was already blushing, and she was probably complacent. She thought about it and said, "Long Live Lord is very true."
"In this case, let's keep the sign," Qianlong nodded decisively and said with a smile on the Queen Mother's face. She was about to say a few words to praise Niu Yulu's beautiful daughter, so as to help Niu Yulu Xiunu made a fuss, and Qianlong continued to say: "Yonghuang has reached his age, Niu Gulu Xiunu should be Yonghuang's side Fujin."
Everyone was stunned for an instant.
The queen mother lost her composure even more rarely, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Qianlong, "Long live Lord, this..."
"Empress Dowager, I think this arrangement is very good. With Niu Gulu's family background, Yonghuang is worthy of being a side Fujin." Qianlong said without explanation.
The Empress Dowager's face turned blue and green. She didn't mean that Niu Gulu was not worthy of the position of Fang Fujin, but that she was unwilling to arrange Qianlong's arrangement.The Empress Dowager would not care even if this beautiful daughter of Niu Yulu became Yonghuang's heir to a Fujin, she knew her son like a mother, how could the Empress Dowager not know that Qianlong didn't value Yonghuang's eldest son at all, so if she became a Fujin for him, what would she do in the future?It's better to give Qianlong a promise, if she gives birth to a prince in the future, maybe the mother is more expensive than the child, and it's not sure to be a queen!
The Empress Dowager was full of reluctance, but after Qianlong had spoken, she couldn't say much, and she had to smile, "The emperor is right, this marriage is not bad."
Niu Guluxiu's eyes were red, she was about to cry, and she had to follow Xie En.
The other show girls were secretly happy.
It's great now, leaving Niu Colu Xiunu, they will have one less rival.
Except for Niu Yulu's show girl, the next draft progressed very quickly. Qianlong only kept the brands of seven show girls this time. The other show girls will stay in the harem in the future, and the six show girls are overjoyed. Among them are Qi Jia show girls and Suo Chuo Luo show girls. The queen and Gao Guifei are very satisfied with the result.
With today's result, it is estimated that everyone in the harem is very happy except for the empress dowager who is not happy.
"That's great, why did Lord Long Live suddenly think of giving Yaliqi to Yonghuang as a side Fujin?" After the Queen Mother returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she was furious.
Qian Momo thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, "Empress Dowager, could this be what Concubine Xian meant?"
The queen mother was stunned, and then she realized in an instant that Concubine Xian might really be responsible for this. She said why Concubine Xian treats Ya Liqi so well these days, if it is to betroth Ya Liqi to Da Ah Brother, it all makes sense!
"It's Concubine Xian, that bitch again!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth angrily, this time calling Concubine Xian what she wanted, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"The empress dowager calm down, you are so angry that your body is ruined, it's not worth it. You have to deal with concubine Xian, it's just a matter of one sentence, the time is long, it won't work this time, there will be another chance in the future." Seeing the empress dowager, mother Qian was so angry Too much, quickly relieved.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, nodded her head, took a deep breath to suppress her anger, and said, "Go and call Mother Zhou, the Ai family has something to tell her."
"Yes." Qian Momo immediately agreed. She knew that the Queen Mother probably wanted Zhou Momo to transfer and teach others. This time, Niu Colu Yaliqi would not succeed. There will be more opportunities in the future. Zhou Momo is best at It is to train and teach the Yangzhou skinny horse, as long as the girl she teaches, there will be no girl who does not please men.
