Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 6 Hello Queen!

Shocked by the "fact" that "Concubine De is really cruel and merciless" early in the morning, Wanzhao decided that it would be best to stay with Concubine Yi for the next activities, so as soon as she entered the door, she greeted the empress dowager and the empress who were sitting in high positions Afterwards, Wan Zhao quickly returned to Yipin's side with a visibly elegant posture and an unseen speed - she was not a high-ranking person, so she didn't have the qualifications to sit for the time being.

Wu Yashi's Yonghe Palace didn't have the main seat, but she was very favored. According to Kangxi's intentions, she might also be promoted, so the queen simply arranged for her to sit at the bottom.Before her were several concubines who had not yet been titled, including the Hesheli family and the Niu Hulu family.

Wan Zhao carefully noticed that many historically famous harem concubines were there.Master Kang's four heavenly kings, the future Empress Xiao Yiren, the current Concubine Tong, the birth mother of the ten elder brothers, Concubine Wen Xi, who is now the concubine Niu Hulu... What Wanzhao cares about the most is naturally the dignified queen, Niu Hulu, who has the same father and mother as concubine Niu Hulu, is Empress Xiaozhaoren who has only sat on the throne for one year.

She is extremely beautiful, and Wanzhao saw that she was only about 23 or [-] years old, wearing a big red flag dress embroidered with phoenix and peony, and the flag dress was embroidered with the same pattern with gold thread, very luxurious.The gilt-dotted emerald phoenix hairpin on the head is swaying and shining brightly, holding an orange silk handkerchief and wearing two pairs of gold-inlaid red coral red agate armors.It's just that her complexion is not very good, and the red rouge can't hide her fatigue.

The queen is ill... Wanzhao recalled what Concubine Yi said when she crossed over back then. It turns out that the queen's illness has never recovered, and now she is still insisting on attending the banquet. Isn't she afraid that her condition will worsen?

"Don't look around, be careful of the rules of others staring at you." Yibi reminded in a low voice.The shape of her mouth still maintained a smile, but the voice really reached Wanzhao's ears.

Wan Zhao pursed her lips and lowered her head.

But even though Yipin had reminded her, someone had already set their sights on Wanzhao.The empress coughed, and glanced at the empress dowager who was sitting upright as a wooden figure. The empress glanced at Yipin meaningfully, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Guo Chang here, how are you living in the palace?" Habit?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. Everything is fine. My sister is taking good care of me, and the sisters in the palace are also very kind." Wanzhao's defensive attribute was suddenly activated. Seeing the queen's question, she naturally answered impeccably, "Aunt Cuizhu before. When I came here, the maidservant also asked, but the master is not well, so the maidservant did not dare to visit without permission, for fear of disturbing the cultivation of the empress."

These words were meaningless at first, and most people would not make up their minds.But the queen was almost choked up, and felt in her heart that Wanzhao's words were purely to scare her, saying that she was not in good health and shouldn't be here.Fortunately, she has also been immersed in the harem for many years, the expression on her face has not changed at all, she just smiled and said: "It's just an old problem, how can it be as serious as you said? I feel happy when I see you, in the future Come to Kunning Palace often."

I didn't say that your illness is very serious, empress, do you misunderstand what I mean?But forget it, you are the proprietress, I just listen to you.Wan Zhao blinked her eyes, and said obediently: "Yes."

The queen felt that it was boring, why did this younger sister, Yipin, keep silent like a muffled gourd, she and Yipin had completely different temperaments, fortunately she still wanted to take advantage of Yipin on Guo Changzai.In fact, in terms of background, the empress is much taller than Yipin and Wanzhao. After all, the empress is the daughter of Ye Bilong, one of the four auxiliary ministers. Except for the surname, nothing else can compare with the queen.But Kangxi just liked Yipin, but he was always indifferent to the empress, which was also because the empress was the adopted daughter of Aobai.

Wanzhao stood silently, recalling the history of the harem battles that the heavenly king and mother had made up for her these days, guessing that the queen probably thought she was the second princess of Guo Luoluo's family, so she deliberately played against her.It's a pity that she is soft-spoken and can only see one step at a time.

The evening banquet is the most important thing.The gift prepared by Wan Zhao was presented early, and the queen mother took a look at it, but didn't say much, and only rewarded her with a string of tourmaline beads.Wanzhao is very rare, after all, she still rarely sees beautiful bracelets.So I only focused on admiring the graceful appearance of the tourmaline bracelet, and completely failed to notice that all the concubines who received the reward, except the concubine Hesheli, the concubine Niu Hulu, she and Wu Ya, were all the heads of the first palace .

When the queen came from Kunning Palace, she had already changed into a red flag dress, and the decoration on her head was not changed, but a little more gold ornaments were added, it was like a small mobile treasury.Wanzhao complained in his heart, calculated how much the thing on the Queen's head was worth, and got up to salute and greet her.

What needs to be explained is that Uncle Kangxi is already sitting in the chair, chatting with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.The queen was the one who was long overdue.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager, Wanzhao was also in a turbulent mood, a real filial piety!Although she is old, she can still see wisdom and kindness from her face.This is the strong woman who trained the emperors of the two dynasties!Wan Zhao glanced excitedly, then looked away, and glanced again.

"What is my sister looking at?" Wan Liuhashi, who is also always there, asked curiously.Like Uya nobleman, she was born in wrapping clothes, but she was taken into the harem by the emperor and was fortunate to become the emperor's woman, so she was very polite to Wanzhao who was born in Manchuria.

"It's nothing, I just feel that tonight's banquet seems to be a little richer." Wanzhao rolled her eyes and said nonsense.

"My sister doesn't tell me I don't know yet. It really doesn't look like us who are often able to use seats." Wan Liuhashi is more familiar with the status of Chang Zai than Wan Zhao, after all, she has stayed in this position for two or three times. It's been a year, "Maybe the empress specially arranged it for the empress dowager."

"It's also possible, but it's none of our business." Wan Zhao stroked her protruding belly.I made too many snacks before I came here, and I'm still full.Fortunately, Master Kong didn't show any signs of moving his chopsticks, so she could sit and wait for the snacks in her stomach to digest.

Seeing this, Wan Liuha smiled quite understandingly.

In fact, it was not only Wanliu Hashi and Wanzhao who found the banquet too extravagant, Kangxi also noticed it.It's just that this banquet was organized by the empress herself, she is his first wife, and after all, she and the Niu Hulu family behind her have to give face, so at this time, she couldn't bear it.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager still remembered that Wan Zhao was always there, and after asking the people around her, she called Wan Zhao to her side to talk.For a moment, Wan Zhao could be said to be "unmatched in the limelight", and all the concubines focused on her, as if they wanted to see through the strengths of Chang Zai, who seemed to be very popular with the Empress Dowager.

"The one you wiped the forehead of Aijia, Aijia likes it very much." Although she has lived in the capital for many years, the Empress Dowager is still used to speaking in Manchu or Mongolian.Thanks to the education of Guo Luoluo's family, Wan Zhao's mastery of these two languages ​​is much better than the English that gave her a splitting headache.

"The servant just thought that the queen mother must have seen a lot of good things, and probably looked down on the jewels and jadeites sent by the servant, so she thought about embroidering a few foreheads for the queen mother, which can be regarded as the filial piety of the queen mother. It's just that the servant Clumsy hands, in the past ten days, only one piece has been embroidered. There are two half-embroidered designs in the Yuanhe Palace, and the slaves will send them to the Queen Mother when they are done." Wan Zhao felt the Queen's scrutiny. , Hastily activated the defensive attribute again and replied half coquettishly and half sensiblely.

Sensing the Queen Mother's affirmative gaze, Wanzhao cheered inwardly: Thank you, Mother Wang, for your lines!

Kangxi also felt that Wanzhao's gift was very reliable. Compared with the empress's emerald emerald pearl face, the things Wanzhao sewed with care were the most thoughtful.It was obviously the most important time for San Francisco, so such extravagance was unacceptable. If the soldiers at the front knew that they were celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday with great fanfare in the capital, they would be chilled.

"You've done a good job," Kangxi said to Wanzhao tenderly, "Some things don't have to be expensive, as long as you have a heart, they are good things." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the queen, and then took a sip of his wine.

Wanzhao noticed that the queen's face faded rosy in an instant.She didn't know why, and after chatting with the Queen Mother for a few words, she was sent back.
