MTL - The Concubine is Covering the Vest Every Day-Chapter 7
The next day, a faint sound came from inside the house, and Tang Yunian was immediately awakened. Looking in the direction of the bed, the princess opened the curtains to get up.
"Will the concubine not sleep for a while?" the princess asked.
"No," Tang Yunian shook his head. When she entered the palace, the princess got up nearly an hour early to dress up, but she didn't need to dress up for that long. While talking, Yunxiang came into the house with a fish wash, and Tang Yunian quickly put away the quilt.
After a while, Yunxiang picked up the comb and was about to dress Wei Yubing, but when she turned around, she found that Tang Yunian was still in the house, "Master Consort, do you want to wait outside?"
What does this mean? Tang Yunian was puzzled, but did not ask directly. He went to the outside world with doubts, and Dong Xue waited there early. When Dong Xue finished dressing himself, Tang Yunian asked him quietly.
Dong Xue didn't answer her right away, but instead asked, "Do you really know what the concubine means?" Tang Yunian asked again in a hurry, and then Dong Xue smiled and followed his ears. She explained.
Since I was going to the palace, breakfast was much simpler today. Tang Yunian and Wei Yubing can also see the morning light when they leave the house together. Stepping on the wooden ladder, Tang Yu lifted up the carriage in a young and easy way, and stretched out his hand to help Wei Yubing.
"Princess." Seeing that the princess hesitated for a while, Tang Yunian took it lightly. Wei Yubing finally gave her his hand, "Thank you, concubine."
"Princess, you're welcome." Tang Yunian smiled. The two sat firmly, and the coachman pulled away the wooden ladder, pulled the reins and walked forward.
The exterior of the carriage was simple. When I first saw Tang Yunian, I didn't see any difference. It was only when I entered the carriage and saw the decorations, I realized once again what a royal bearing was.
However, compared to the things in the princess's mansion, things are insignificant. After watching it for a few days, Tang Yunian's heart was not disturbed, and he sat upright like Wei Yubing.
This sitting position is really not suitable for him. If conditions permit, Tang Yunian prefers to lean on it, and it is more comfortable to lie down. Fortunately, the Princess Mansion was only a quarter of an hour away from the Imperial Palace, so Renyi Ren passed by.
When he arrived at the palace, Tang Yunian saw Wei Yubing pick up the mirror and looked at it again. "Princess is so good," Tang Yunian answered without asking. She didn't seem to expect Tang Yunian to make a sound, and the princess seemed to dodge shyly to the side.
"Really," Tang Yunian said sincerely, "Actually, the princess looks very good in the morning without wearing Fendai," Tang Yunian added, "Of course, the princess is also good-looking at this moment."
At this moment, Tang Yunian already understood why the princess avoided him in the morning. The person who does not look good without makeup refers to both outsiders and husbands. According to the meaning of Dongxue's words, he is not good-looking, but the appearance of the princess is there, without losing the natural beauty of Fendai. The rouge is added with pearl hairpins to add a bit of bright color, but it is gorgeous and not vulgar, which is more in line with the identity of the princess.
But Tang Yunian forgot one more thing, here, generally only praise for other people's beauty will only come from Fireworks Lane.
"Concubine," Wei Yubing paused for a while, but did not get angry, and said lightly, "It's just for the sake of etiquette." This is also true, seeing the palace approaching, Tang Yunian is also wearing his clothes to make himself look better.
The carriage stopped, Tang Yunian got off the first, and then went to help the princess down. The two walked side by side, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Tang Yunian saw a plaque with three big characters "Chengqian Palace".
"The princess is here." Knowing that the princess and the concubine were coming, the maid next to the queen had been waiting outside the palace for half an hour. "Consort, please come in."
"This is Mother Chen." Wei Yubing took the opportunity to introduce her. Charity on the face, it seems to be easy to get along with, I don't know how it compares to Mama Li, Tang Yunian said hello while making estimates.
Before reaching the main room, a female official came out of the hall, "Princess, concubine, the concubine is greeting the empress, please wait a moment for the princess concubine." Not long after sitting down, another older woman came out of the hall.
"Princess, concubine," the man saluted and smiled, "the concubine said that she has not yet congratulated herself on the big day, and today she is destined to invite the concubine to enter the hall for a chat."
"Princess, the concubine that Your Majesty the Queen personally chose for you has never been seen by everyone in the harem. I hope the princess will not hide it so that everyone can see it."
The latter sentence was naturally addressed to Wei Yubing. "Niangniang Yue is worrying too much," the princess said, "Yu Bing originally planned to take her concubine to Lanyuan to meet her."
The atmosphere didn't seem right, at least one or two of the female official's face could be seen, Tang Yunian responded to what the princess said, and then entered the main hall with the princess.
Although he was already prepared, as soon as he entered, he saw all the women gathered together, each with their own beauty, and Tang Yunian was still a little surprised. Fortunately, she should have bowed her head, and the princess was leading her, so she walked up to the empress without compromising etiquette and said, "My son, please give my mother the best of luck."
After getting up on his knees three times, Tang Yunian heard a voice from above, "Huang'er, come over and show the queen mother."
The princess took two steps forward, Tang Yunian stood there, and suddenly heard a laughter from the front right, "This palace seems to have improved a lot from Her Royal Highness."
Before anyone could answer, she added, "Bengong heard that the concubine came from that desolate place in the south, and when I first heard that Your Majesty gave her a marriage, Bengong was still worried about the princess, but now it seems that Bengong is puzzled by His Majesty's Empress. My heart. Presumably the concubine will take good care of the princess, without any slights, Queen sister, you should really thank the concubine."
Silent. Sitting in this position, and daring to speak like that, must be Concubine Yue. Emperor Wei only enshrined this noble concubine. She had two princes, two princesses, four princes and three heirs, and she was also the half-sister of the queen. Tang Yunian turned around and saluted, "I have seen Concubine Yue Gui."
She took another step back, politely bowed to the rest of the concubines, and then slowly replied, "Your Majesty bestowed the marriage, this minister is overjoyed, it's just a matter of the princess, the minister does not dare to be self-reliant, the princess's body is thanks to your majesty and the empress. Arrange for everyone to serve, the minister has just entered the princess mansion, the food and daily life in Yueqing is very different from that in Beijing, and the minister still needs to learn."
"The minister should thank the queen mother for giving the princess to the minister," Tang Yunian said and gave another big gift, "The minister will love the princess in the future."
"Get up," the queen hurriedly asked Chen mama to help her, "good boy, I naturally know your character, otherwise why would I trust the emperor to hand over to you. This palace chose you just because of you. Just take good care of Yu Bing, the family background and so on are just outside the body, why do the married daughters of the Tian family only go to those false names?"
The smile on Concubine Yuegui's face couldn't hold back immediately. What did the queen mean by slapping her face brightly, meaning that she would only sell her daughter and only know how to pave the way for her son? She was about to open her mouth when the girl beside her stopped her, and Concubine Yue Gui gave her a hateful look.
"Chen and concubines respectfully follow the teachings of the Empress." The concubines and concubines below said in unison. Many people have tacitly understood what the Empress said. Many of the concubines here have princesses, and the criteria for choosing a concubine have long been calculated in their hearts.
Concubine Yue Gui quickly came over, smiling brightly, and generously and decently rewarded Tang Yunian with a lot of things, just like a kind elder. The other concubines and concubines with qualifications also sent their meeting gifts.
The hall was peaceful until the female official just walked in and said a few words to the queen. "Concubine Yue, the younger sister is responsible for Ye Zhaoyi's entry into the palace. Now she has been in the palace for more than half a month, you don't seem to have arranged it?"
"Sister Queen," Concubine Yuegui said casually in the face of the Queen's questioning, "My sister also wanted to arrange it, but this sister was too weak, so she went to the palace the next day to ask for an imperial doctor. Taking care of her, who knows that it will not get better at all. Yesterday, Imperial Physician Zhang replied that she only said that Younger Sister Ye needs to rest, and she is also worried that she will be angry with Your Majesty, so she removed her brand."
"Empress Empress, it's true, the concubines also went to see it." There was another person below.
The matter has come to this point, the queen has no more to say, and after a few more chats, everyone in the harem greets her.
"Emperor," the Empress said to the two of them as soon as they left, "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, Huanger, take your concubine over there to have a look, and stay here for lunch at noon."
"Erchen retire." Wei Yubing greeted politely, followed by Tang Yunian. What puzzled her was, shouldn't the queen have a good conversation with the princess after everyone retired? How can I think differently.
There are also people from the harem. I heard Wei Yubing say that Concubine Yuegui is the queen's half-sister. Tang Yunian predicted that the relationship between the two of them would not be very good. Although Wei Yubing's description is objective, the truth is there. She had to think about it, but it was the case when she saw it today!
"It's a pity that Ye Zhaoyi." Tang Yunian shook his head, very sorry.
"Why did the concubine say this?" Wei Yubing asked.
Did she accidentally say it? This is not a good habit. Tang Yunian could not wait to cover his mouth. Looking back, he saw that they had walked a few hundred meters away from Chengqian Palace and had not seen any outsiders, so he was a little relieved.
"Just thinking that she entered the palace alone and unfortunately contracted a disease, that's all, that's all." Tang Yunian thought for a moment. It's okay to get sick if the luck is bad. Looking at this situation, I'm afraid that someone will plot against it. There were a lot of fights in the palace, but I never thought that I would encounter it as soon as I entered the palace.
"Ye Guogong passed away due to illness, leaving an orphaned daughter under his knees. The royal father couldn't bear it, so he deliberately let her enter the palace, and sealed Zhaoyi as the second only concubine to live in the Qingyi Palace. He didn't want to fall ill just after entering the palace. "
"Have you seen the princess?" Tang Yunian asked curiously, how did he know so clearly.
"Never," Wei Yubing shook her head, "Bengong was busy preparing for her marriage when she entered the palace. I just found out today that she was ill on the second day after entering the palace. That's why I didn't see her at her mother's place."
"So it is." Tang Yunian nodded and didn't talk further.
"Can the concubine go to the pavilion?" Wei Yubing asked softly, shaking her finger. During the sweltering heat, Tang Yunian realized that he had let the princess walk so many distances with him during his conversation.
