From Zhen Huan

Wept bitterly, and then wished I could do my best to dress me up beautifully, so that I could finally get it after two full years of silence. This rare opportunity to appear on the stage successfully amazed everyone.

I rejected the kindness of the two maids, and together with Jin Xi, I chose a blue dress with dots of white pear flowers embroidered on it, allowing me to be dignified and quiet without losing the innocence and loveliness of a girl.The old man will never like a flamboyantly dressed vixen, but he will also not like a concubine who is too quiet to be sad, and my dress is just right, which matches the image I have always shown in front of the queen mother.

"See the empress dowager, I wish the empress dowager a thousand years of auspiciousness." I silently bowed down, but I did the simple movements very focused and pious.

"Get up, you really are a well-behaved child." Listening to the tone, the Queen Mother was obviously satisfied with me.

I stood up and stood there quietly, lowering my head and never looking around.I could clearly feel the Queen Mother's eyes looking up and down on me.

"Give me a seat." Then two little maids brought a stool over, and I sat down respectfully.Then I heard the Queen Mother say: "It's a pity that such a handsome person has been ill for so long, is he all right now?"

I replied: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, it's all over."

The queen mother asked again: "Did you ever serve in bed?"

As soon as I heard it, my face turned red, and my lowered head lowered for an instant, and then I replied embarrassedly: "I never went to bed."

The queen mother joked: "The emperor is going to be disappointed. He missed such a good event. The Ai family should remind the emperor that you can't let Jing nobles wait."

"Return to the Empress Dowager." I knelt on the ground, my tone was calm but firm: "I am not willing to sleep with you."

The Empress Dowager seemed a little unhappy, and her tone became severe, and she asked, "Oh, why is that?"

I kowtowed to the queen mother first, and then slowly replied: "I have a deep relationship with my mother, but it is difficult to see each other as soon as I enter the palace, and since I entered the palace, I have regarded the queen mother as a concubine The emperor has three thousand beauties in his own harem, so there are few people to take care of them, so I just want to accompany the queen mother, even if I can only copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother, I will be satisfied."

"Hey!" The Queen Mother sighed, "Get up, you are a good and filial child, but how could the Ai family have the heart to delay your golden years?"

I stood up and said with a firm expression: "It is my blessing to serve the Empress Dowager, there is no delay."

In this harem, the empress has never been the most terrifying woman, but the empress dowager Zhu Chengbi is the most scheming and powerful woman in this harem.I also know that what I have done has failed to convince this woman whose interests are above everything else, but people have flesh and blood, and I only hope to get her maintenance and support on the premise that I do not touch her interests.

Next, no matter whether the queen mother is concerned or tempting, I have firmly expressed my determination not to serve the bed.Afterwards, I still copied Buddhist scriptures in the afternoon, and went to the Empress Dowager’s Palace in the morning to chat with her to relieve boredom, or talk about Buddhist scriptures, or tell some jokes and stories that conformed to the rules. thing.

I serve the Queen Mother very carefully, and I often cook some nourishing and delicious medicinal supplements for the Queen Mother.And whenever the Queen Mother's legs and feet hurt on cloudy and rainy days, I took the trouble to help her apply hot compresses and massage her.

This year, the autumn rain was lingering, and the Queen Mother couldn't sleep all night because of the pain. I stayed with her and took care of her all the time. After half a month, the Queen Mother recovered, but I fell ill instead.

After I recovered from my illness, a decree came down, and I was promoted to a fifth-rank concubine because of my meritorious service in taking care of the empress dowager.

I thanked you, but I didn't seem very happy, I still just served the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and the Queen Mother finally got a lot closer to me, it seemed a bit like a loving mother and daughter.

This morning, I was chatting and joking with the Queen Mother when Aunt Fangruo came and said that Xuan Ling was coming to the palace.I said to the queen mother: "I will go and refill some hot water for the queen mother."

Although I serve the Queen Mother every time, whenever Xuan Ling comes over, I will use various reasons to avoid it in advance, so I haven't seen Xuan Ling a few times in the two and a half years since entering the palace.And the queen mother pretended not to know about it before, letting me avoid it until today.

But this time the Empress Dowager disagreed: "It's just that there is still a shortage of people who serve tea and water in Aijia Palace."

I still want to persuade, but I can't control the Queen Mother's thoughts, so I have no choice but to give up.After a delay like this, Xuan Ling came in, and I had no choice but to salute according to the rules, and said: "See you, Your Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty."

Xuan Ling greeted the Queen Mother first, then turned to me and said, "This is Concubine Jing, I've never seen her before."

I didn't dare to look at Xuan Ling, I lowered my head and said shyly: "Back to the emperor, I will be Concubine Jing."

What I am wearing today is a crimson brocade jacket with white hems, the waist is very tight, and I am wearing a red plum belt with a white background. The sleeves are wide and elegant.After more than two years of unremitting exercise, my body is slender and light, my waist is soft and slender, my legs are slender and straight, and my hair is like ink, which complements my well-maintained skin as delicate as white porcelain and as warm as warm jade.

Because I lowered my head, Xuan Ling could only see my gracefully curved neck, but that alone was enough to make his heart move.

It left an impression in Xuan Ling's heart, and the next thing is to serve the bed.Then that night, the Queen Mother's leg disease recurred due to the sudden drop in the weather, and for the next half month, I only served the Queen Mother wholeheartedly.

In the past half month, whenever Xuanling is free, he will come to visit the queen mother, so I have more time to meet Xuanling, and during these times, I have not only taken care of the queen mother's leg problems, but also successfully displayed a beautiful face in front of Xuanling She has a kind and filial nature, a beautiful appearance, and a soft and graceful demeanor as a good girl.

Half a month has passed and the New Year is approaching. Xuanling is busy with business and rarely comes here, let alone pampering his concubines. However, at the inner court banquet on New Year's Eve, I was still conferred the title of Consort Fourth Rank for my service to the Empress Dowager. Wanyi.It is an unprecedented honor in the harem for me to be promoted to three levels in a row without serving the bed, but after I was promoted, I only went to the Empress Dowager's Palace except to thank the queen, and stayed quietly in the Tangli Palace for the rest of the time.

After the first month, Xuan Ling gradually got some free time. It wasn't until February that the news that I was allowed to sleep in finally came.

For women, the first night is less joyful and more painful. I don’t know how other women behaved, but I didn’t suppress my emotions. When I was in pain, I would tremble, tearful, and even the voice of crying out for pain was weak and lingering. Tactfully.Xuanling felt fresh about my unusual performance, so he recruited me to sleep with me that night, but at this time my period came unexpectedly, so I had no choice but to give up.

More than ten days later, I went to bed again. I didn't just cooperate with Xuan Ling blindly, but I tried to make myself as comfortable as possible, which actually made the emperor feel interesting.

After serving the bed this time, I was once again promoted to the fourth rank of Rong Hua.

Contrary to Mei Zhuang's joy for me, Concubine Hua hated me like a thorn in her side, but I have the support of the Empress Dowager, so I only encountered some soft knives in words for the time being.

Occasionally, Xuan Ling would come to my Tangli Palace to sit for a while. I didn't treat him as respectfully as I treated the Queen Mother, but a little more casually.I never intentionally please the emperor, even in Tangli Palace, I mostly focus on my own preferences, rather than accommodating him too much.Sometimes when I was reading, he would come over. After I saluted and said hello, I would continue to read. At this time, he would also hold the book in his hand, but I felt that he was not reading, but was in a daze.

I have always been indifferent to Xuan Ling. I don't love him and I don't want to pretend to love him. For me, grace is enough now, and I can live comfortably, but there is no need for rich clothes and good food.

Maybe Xuan Ling really needs a place to daze, so although I don't have many days to serve my bed, Xuan Ling often comes to my Tangli Palace to daze.

Sometimes we would talk about some ancient books and poems together, and sometimes we would argue endlessly when we met different opinions. Whenever I refused to give in at all, if he was in a hurry, he would not come again for three to five days.

In any case, I have worked hard for a long time to leave a good impression in front of the Queen Mother and Xuan Ling, just to live a more comfortable life. In the big aspects, I am a virtuous and filial concubine, but in these small aspects, I hope that I I can be independent, blindly inviting pets is not my original intention.

So half a year passed, and before another draft, because of Xuanling's birthday, most of the concubines were promoted to a higher level, and Mei Zhuang went from Hui Fenyi to Hui Ronghua, and I became Jing Jieyu.But there are also some who have become the new grievances of this deep palace, such as Mrs. Xihua who once spoiled the Sixth Palace and was very prosperous for a while, but who would feel sad for them!

Before everyone had time to rejoice, the draft came again, and many girls with dreams in their hearts were about to enter the harem battle.

5. Under the Palace

I didn't pay attention to the newcomer entering the palace, because my body was slightly uncomfortable, and the menstrual event did not come.Due to the short time, I couldn't get the pulse, and I finally confirmed it after two months.

Mei Zhuang couldn't help being overjoyed when she found out, but at the same time she was a little disappointed. Although she was promoted to Ronghua after being in favor for three years, she also lost a child as the price.

The news of my pregnancy made the palace even more lively, the queen was held back by the draft, and other people couldn't touch me who was under the protection of the queen mother, and I was able to deal with the calculations of some vicious Musk and the like.In this way, when all the newcomers enter the palace, I have been pregnant for four months, and the fetal image is stable, which is easy and difficult.
