Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Among the noble ladies of the imperial capital, Ke Chaoruo belonged to the kind that was both conspicuous and inconspicuous.

What was inconspicuous was that after being a military commander, and after being a military commander who defended the frontier for many years, she only returned to the Imperial Palace with her family last year.

It's a bit like when Gu Zhen was a teenager.

Even if you put on the most gorgeous clothes, the most precious jewelry, and learn the manners and rules of the emperor and noble ladies assault, there is still the uneasiness of being restrained in the bones.

Because of this, he is incompatible with his companions from the very different growth environment.

Yun Fenghuang noticed that this Miss Ke has been staring at the Jinxi Princess beside her since she was seated.

Jinxi picked up the tooth chop with vegetables, she also quickly picked up the tooth chop with vegetables; Jinxi took a light sip of Jin Zun, she quickly lifted the Jin Zun and took a big sip... and then suddenly reacted like a guilty conscience. He looked around, cautiously, took another sip.

Seeing that Princess Jinxi had already played with a fruit, she... she looked at the fruit plate in front of her, and quickly picked up a similar fruit, with a dazed expression...

Obviously, it is rare for girls who grew up in the frontier to do such a leisurely move.

Several times she wanted to stuff the fruit in her mouth, but because Jinxi turned her head to the second emperor and chuckled in a low voice, Ke Chaoruo abruptly held back, maintaining a somewhat stiff smile, looking forward to Princess Jinxi's next step.

...And Jinxi County Lord didn't notice her at all.

After all, Ke Chaoruo is not a familiar face in the imperial capital.

Although she came back to the Imperial Capital last year, it is absolutely impossible for the Ke family to make her lose face in public as soon as she came back... Correction is to go public as soon as she came back to expose the family's free-range daughters.

After some surprise training, she has participated in only a handful of palace banquets so far.

Although it is obvious from the seat that she was born not bad, but also because the seat is close to the front, she is surrounded by distinguished ladies who are not worse than her.

On such occasions, no one wants to leave an impression of "involving in flames" to the maidens who secretly observe, and they are self-reserved.

Not to mention that Princess Jinxi came here to join in the fun. Her marriage has been decided. Even if it is not decided, there is no need to show favor to Ke Chaoruo, but she talked and laughed with the emperors, very happy.

So at this moment, looking down from upstairs in Zezhi, Ke Chaoruo was particularly lonely and embarrassed.

The conspicuous place, of course, is that she is a girl from the Ke family.

Since the death of Long Pinghou, Ke Cong quickly replaced Gu Fangshu at the time and became the first new general in the Chunjia Dynasty.

Ke Jia's theory is actually inferior to Gu's.

But the rut of the past is just ahead, and Ke Cong naturally has to learn his lesson. He was originally an extremely cautious person. Long before Gu Fangshu's death, he had done justice to destroy his relatives and defiled himself to protect himself... These operations showed that Ke Cong was more cautious than Gu Fangshu.

For this reason, in the past few years, although Ke Chong's children have received more and more attention, Ke Cong has not only failed to be pets and coquettish, but has become more cautious in his words and deeds.

Including but not limited to rectifying the door style from time to time, restricting family members and the nobles, especially Gong Wei, etc...

Therefore, in the past two years, a new generation of children of the same age have grown up, and they have become famous. As the newest nobles of the dynasty, the Ke family has become silent.

But it was Ke Cong who managed to climb to his current position. He was afraid that he would be involved in the national dispute. He had toiled for several generations. Without saying anything, he had to ruin all his previous efforts.

However, as the military commander who is currently the most trusted by Chunjia, he holds the military power, no matter how he thinks about being out of the way, how can he not be looked at?

Whether Yun Fenghuang, the queen, and other concubines with ideas, all regard Ke Chaoruo as their primary goal.

Although from the example of Ke Ding that year, Ke Cong may not be a person who cared for his heirs.

Even if they hired Ke Chaoruo as their daughter-in-law, Ning Guogong might not stop here, and shed blood and blood for their descendants to seek the position of the crown prince... But they are not good stubborns. It would be fine if they could not marry Ke Chaoruo. When he got married, he would naturally try to tie Ke Cong to his side, and force him to do his best.

All in all, Ke Chaoruo is the first competition target for this banquet.

In other words, her competition is also the prelude to the battle between the crown princes.

Those who don't intend to fight for the East Palace, and those who are self-aware and don't expect, will avoid her with interest.

"By the way, it is said that there are three talented women in Emperor Jing. Only two of them were mentioned. What about the third one?" The concubines skipped Ke Chaoruo, and she was about to pay attention to the male guest. At this time, Jing Jieyu suddenly asked in a low voice. Sentence, "Is it not coming or is it?"

Jing Jieyu enters the palace late and has not given birth yet.

The people in her palace gave her an emperor. Chunjia landed at the end of the seventeenth year, ranking twelfth.

The emperor is only four years old this year, and of course it is far from the time to recruit a consort.

Jing Jieyu will be here. One is that she is young, so she can’t help but want to come over to see the excitement; the other is that she has been in the palace for several years without children. Even if the twelve emperors are not her own birth, they still regard her as if she had come out. It was love, and worried that I was born in a humble background, so that when I chose the emperor's horse, I didn't think about it well, so I came to steal the teacher in advance.

"I'm here, but that's a distant concubine." De Fei has a clear goal today. In addition to continuing to hold the noble concubine's thigh, she uses her eyesight to choose a good husband-in-law for her three emperors.

Therefore, at this moment, the eyes have been fixed on the outstanding children of the male guest.

Seeing that it was Jiang Mingdan on his side who asked, he smiled and said, "Look at the girl in the back seat over there who is wearing a light blue shirt, combing a bun with a lotus hairpin in a bun? That is, Shi Lang's. Clan niece, her boudoir name seems to be Xiyan."

The Wei Shilang she was talking about were six Wei Changkong rare in ancient times.

When he was first employed by Chunjia, he was responsible for teaching the emperor's heirs. In the first two years, Chunjia almost investigated and thought it was okay, so he transferred him to the dynasty.

Now he is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Wei Changkong, who was born in Wei Changkong, originally had a prosperous writing style. Although there were no high-ranking officials in this dynasty, there were no shortage of scholarships.

Otherwise, he won't be able to teach these six poems.

At this moment, there is a talented girl in the clan, but it is logical.

It's just that people who know Cui Nanye and Wei Shuhan's details can't help but look subtle, wondering if this Miss Wei Jia is also a similar "talent"?

Although Webster’s name is quite good, there are more children and uneven aptitudes. Maybe this girl who was introduced is also an embroidered pillow, but does she act more like it?

Jiang Mingdan stared at Wei Xiyan for a moment, a little disappointed, and commented: "It's a beauty."

That's it, I didn't see any other bright spots...The manners were all quite satisfactory, not to mention brilliant, let alone the grace that a talented woman should have.

"It's still polite at the moment." De Fei smiled and said, "After the third round of drinking, you can watch it again."

Inviting these people over today is not specifically for entertaining them for drinking and having fun, and there must be an assessment.

Thinking of the problems that he and others had come up with, Wei Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and a kind of inexplicable sympathy emerged spontaneously: Fortunately, I didn’t have many flowers in the palace when I was a teenager... Well, she was a concubine in the palace. Rather than competing with the prince and concubine...In short, if she had been in the current situation at that time, she felt that Princess Weide would not be there anymore in this palace.

Confused, the concubine De Fei saw that no one was talking about Wei Xiyan anymore, and she brought the topic to the male guest: "Speaking of these nobles today, Gu is the most energetic. The material of the robe looks familiar. Was it a tribute in the early spring? Such bright colors make the young people of their age dressed up and straight. Because of this, the concubine didn’t save a foot for herself, so she made all the dresses for her. I don’t know who I learned from. I actually fell in love with Su Dan in the past two years. I have never touched it once in the past two years, and I have not touched it once. I will be young next year. I am really angry. Now... Looking at the way Young Master Gu is dressed, the concubine must ask this child at night, do you regret it?"

The same as the previous comments on girls, this time is also tacitly followed: people in the palace are mentioned from high to low according to the position of the relatives in the palace; people who are not in the palace are arranged according to their family background.

The queen stood up again to be humble for the younger generation: "You really praised him by what you said. The material and color are quite good, but the child is the same. Before going out, I must have carefully checked it out, not at this moment. Even if everyone’s eyes are tainted, when it comes to prominence, Cui Shi Wei Shi will teach the children even more."

He paused and said, "Shafer forgetting is also becoming more and more distinguished, and the charm between the charms is like a peaceful horse back then."

When Gu Zhen said these words, he was actually quite exhausted.

Because there is really nothing outstanding in this class of nephews...Although they are honest and sensible and work hard, they are limited by their qualifications, and they lack a lot of people like the lintel.

After all, the other lords are not working hard.

"The empress empress is absurdly praised, and the nephew of the concubine body is also unbelievable." The concubine Shu and Concubine De concubine both humbled themselves on behalf of the younger generation, and the concubine sighed in her heart.

The lintel of the Xie family is cold, and the most prosperous male heir is Xie Wuzheng.

Therefore, according to the unspoken rules, complimenting male juniors is said to have Xie Wuzheng's demeanor back then.

In fact, Shafer forgets that there is a big gap between Xie Wuzheng and Xie Wuzheng regardless of appearance and temperament... If this nephew really looks like Xie Wuzheng in the city, she doesn't need to worry about it.

Because there are fewer emperors in the palace than the princes, and it is necessary to look for princes, Zhaoqing, the second emperor, and the third emperor.

The four emperors at the bottom are eleven years old this year, but they are not in a hurry.

Moreover, because the emperor had been exposed to smallpox when she was a child, her face had marks on her face. As she grew up, she became more inferior. She didn't like to see people. Her heir Jia Pingye had been in the palace for many years and had nowhere to go, so she was very fond of her. Drowning, but now I dare not rashly mention the marriage, so as not to touch the pain of my daughter.

In other words, Yun Fenghuang and Defei are the only ones who have the need to recruit sons-in-law.

They sifted and sifted the noble sons of the emperor's capital a long time ago, but today they just have to take a look in person.

So chatting and discussing about the children, there are elders in the palace, that must be a few words of praise.

There are no elders, just like the female guest, the discussion is more straightforward:

"Although his appearance is good, his gaze is frivolous. Although he dare not openly pay attention to Princess Zhaoqing, he did not take the time to peek at the beautiful maidservants around him, which shows that his temperament is wrong. Whose child? Don't care about anyone, such a person. He is determined not to marry with golden branches and jade leaves."

"Niangniang, please look at the scarlet-robed young man over there, but he is full of energy!"

"It's good, but it's good for boys and girls. I'm afraid that they will be softer than girls when they are dressed in women's clothing. My palace looks at Weishi and feels depressed." De Fei curled her lips and said, "Forget it."

Her three princes are so honest that they are almost weak, and the prince is also a spoiled one. Although there is no need to worry about him in privately bullying the three princes in the future, the problem is that the three princes have suffered a loss outside, and this prince is also a bad one. She's useless and can't protect the three emperors, then...what's the point of her picking such a consort?

"Where is that green robe? Looks very heroic."

"His appearance is masculine, but if you look closely at his behavior, it seems that he is a bit drunk." This time Yun Fenghuang shook his head. "Although we haven't shown up today, only Zhaoqing will preside over him. They are free and don't want to be too restrictive... But before they come, can the family tell them what is going on? This hasn't even started seriously, so I'll be greedy for this. Either it's just a lack of proportions, or you have no intention of marrying. Royal. Now the emperor in the palace, from Zhaoqing to Ruyi'er to Zi'er, who is not Jin Zunyu, a good boy with both talents and appearance? What is he who dares to take this Joe?"

Needless to say, it must be crossed out.

The imperial concubine and De concubine were the main concubines, and the concubines helped to advise. Even Gu Zhen couldn’t help but intervene. He recommended to the three emperors a Tanhua Lang who was born similar to the eight-year champion Wang Linglai of Chunjia. The concubine was vague, but also excited.

They were discussing vigorously here, and over there they saw Zhaoqing put down the drink, looked around, and said loudly: "I thank you for not giving up, come to this literary meeting hosted by this palace..."

After being polite as the host, the princess naturally said that since it is a literary club, of course, it must be worthy of the name, and the literary will make friends, so she plans to play a few small games next to help the wine.

Everyone knows that the so-called mini-games are the focus.

Can you stand out from the crowd and make the high-ranking court officials who are secretly observing see themselves? I'm afraid it's just in these few games.

So while he suddenly agreed, he was probably gearing up and looking solemn.

Princess Jinxi glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "Please also your Highness to write a question?"

"My palace is very simple, and there are just a few topics back and forth, but it's meaningless." Princess Zhaoqing shook her head slightly and smiled, "So before the banquet today, I specifically asked the queen mother and concubines to help out. A few questions..."

While she was speaking, a maidservant from Caiyi Palace walked to her with an ebony lacquer tray. Everyone looked over and saw four kits on the lacquer tray, which seemed to be of different sizes, but in different colors.

The princess took one, and while tearing it apart, said with a smile: "This is the topic that Concubine Demu helped out. Let me see what it is?"
