The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Chapter 118



Another year, when the beauties entered the palace, countless carriages pulled the beauties into the palace. After layers of screening, the beauties left behind could finally see the emperor in the royal garden.

Xu Jia's father is just a servant of five grades. Although she was not born very well, she has outstanding appearance and is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since entering the palace, she has not suffered any difficulties, and she has walked all the way smoothly to the emperor's personal election.

When she was in her boudoir, she had heard of the great fame of Princess Zhao, and had secretly read some biographies about the emperor and Princess Zhao. However, she knew that these biographies were written by some down-to-earth scholars, for fear that they didn't even know where the Palace door was opening.

The emperor is affectionate and the beauty is easy to grow old. She doesn't believe that the emperor will treat Princess Zhao as usual. In the harem, what is missing is not a woman, but a woman who wants to make progress.

Although the weather is not so good today, most of the women are still dressed elegantly and standing neatly in the cold wind.

First came several concubines in the harem, including Rou, Shu and Xian. It's said that the virtuous imperial concubine was once a noble imperial concubine. Later, after the fourth prince was born, she was somehow reduced to imperial concubine and was not valued by the emperor. Although she had imperial concubine status, she was not as noble as the soft imperial concubine.

Lady Shu doesn't care about the affairs of the harem now. Although she's here, she doesn't pay attention to the women, and doesn't care about the women.

"Here comes Princess Zhao!"

The women in the election got a boost. This is the most beloved concubine in the legend. They bent their knees deeply and could only see the long skirt on the ground.

After listening to several concubines salute each other, Xu Zhen hears the voice of Princess Zhao. She stands up and takes the opportunity to take a look at Princess Zhao. For a moment, she is surprised. Concubine Zhao looks really good, but she is not as arrogant as concubine Shu and concubine Rou, but she looks very young, her skin is very white, her hair is dark as ink, her eyes are smiling, and she is not as arrogant as concubine pet should be.

"There are a lot of beauties in this year's selection," Zhuang Luoyan sat down opposite to Princess Shu, took the tea presented by the palace maid, looked at it with a smile, stroked the emerald earrings in her ears, and turned to Princess Rou, "what do you say, Princess Rou?"

The soft imperial concubine glanced at the eye bottom, sneer a, "count is to have a few to take to hand." After that, no matter what these women would think, they continued, "there is no shortage of such beauties in our harem."

Standing below, Xu was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute. He just hung his head like other women.

Another quarter of an hour later, they heard the eunuch report that the emperor and queen had arrived.

Xu Zhen's face turned red with excitement, but he could only kneel down on the ground and bury his head low. He could only see the pattern of the bluestone slab in front of him.

The emperor's voice is very low, also very good to hear, Xu Jia's face is more red, she has begun to imagine, the emperor is a how handsome person.

Feng Jin and the queen sat down at the top. He looked at the women kneeling down and said to the queen, "let's start. I have something else to do at noon."

The empress knew that the emperor was going to have lunch with Princess Zhao and the fourth prince at noon. She nodded and motioned to the eunuch who read the pamphlet to start. She took a sip of tea and looked at Zhuang Luoyan. She saw that although she was smiling, she had a reluctant taste. She sighed helplessly and said, "Princess Zhao, the dishes you sent to our palace a few days ago are very good, but it's just this The cook of the palace can't make that smell. He stayed in the Japanese palace for a few days and asked him to learn from you. "

"If the empress likes it, I'll let the cook go to your palace. Where can I use this trouble?" Zhuang Luoyan said with a smile. "A few days ago, I asked you for a cook. This is for you."

"The palace will take it. Don't worry about it at that time," the queen said and laughed. She looked at the following women. She had already retired from three groups, and she didn't see the emperor order one. She didn't want to take care of it. Instead, she continued to talk with Zhuang Luoyan.

"Xu Jia, the daughter of Xu Jia, was sixteen years old."

"My courtesan, meet the emperor, empress, ladies." Xu Ying Ying bowed down, and the smile on his face was just right. He was almost bored with more than one point, and slightly light with less.

Feng Jin waved his hand to let people back down. After seeing that there were not many women to choose, he nodded slightly and motioned to stay.

Xu Jia's heart is a joy, but on the face of the wind light cloud light line of a gift, just back to one side, she is the first to be left to choose female, at least can prove that the emperor saw her in the eyes.

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the chosen woman, took the cup and said, "the emperor really has a good eye. What a beautiful woman."

The empress followed to see one eye, said with a smile: "is not."

Feng Jin looked at the two people, waved his hand, let the next group of people back, and casually ordered a person, then said: "don't choose, these people all go back."

For a moment, people were surprised that only two beauties were chosen in this election? However, seeing the emperor's impatience, people did not dare to say more and began to arrange for the unselected women to leave.

"Both of them are gifted people. If you arrange the residence for the queen," Feng Jin stood up and said to Zhuang Luoyan, "let's go."Zhuang Luoyan followed with a smile, but did not look at the two selected new concubines.

Xu Zhen watched the imperial chariot leave. It was the emperor. She was so handsome and dignified. She stroked her reddish cheek and felt that it was a little hot.

The soft imperial concubine just sees her this action, peep out to sneer at of smile.

Today, the Xihe palace is a little busy. The fourth Prince Feng Qi, who is nearly four years old, is just curious. At this time, he is asking Feng Jin why the moon is not bright even at night. The Pearl and the candle are bright at night.

Emperor Chengxuan was baffled by the Yellow haired children. He thought for a long time before he said, "because the sun is bigger than the moon, but the sun is far away from us, so it looks the same."

Zhuang Luoyan picked an eyebrow on one side, which seems to be a good reason. Unfortunately, people here don't know that the moon doesn't shine at all.

"Why is it that even if the big candle is far away from us, it doesn't look as bright as the small candle near us?" Feng Qi continued to ask. Wu Liu's eyes blinked and he looked up at Feng Jin. Obviously, in his eyes, his father is omnipotent.

“……” Feng Jin regretted that he had told the child so many so-called "fetal education stories", otherwise he would not fall into the crisis of too narrow knowledge.

"Because the moon is sleeping at night, so the light is not bright enough." Zhuang Luoyan decided to restore his dignity to Feng Jin.

"But the moon doesn't come out during the day. Why do you sleep at night?"

"Because the moon is lazy," Zhuang Luoyan said solemnly, touching his head, "so people can't be lazy. Otherwise, like the moon, it's not bright enough at night."

Feng Qi looked at his mother's serious expression and nodded solemnly, "well, don't be lazy!"

"Well behaved," Zhuang Luoyan continued to take photos, and lazily sat back in the chair of the imperial concubine, "then have a meal. After taking a nap in the afternoon, Huang Yang will take you to see the flowers you planted. After your father and Emperor come, you can learn to write."

Feng Qi nodded obediently again, and did not let anyone hold him. He sat down next to Zhuang Luoyan, then turned to Feng Jin and said, "father, I want to eat more. My mother said you are very hard."

Feng Jin sat down beside Zhuang Luoyan, and after smiling at her, he said, "then we have to eat more steamed buns. When we grow up, we will protect our father and mother."

"Well!" Feng Qi's head was heavy.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the two father and son with a smile and began to wash his hands. For a man, let him know that he is very important in the hearts of women and children, he will often do better, this is the incentive policy.

The two talented people who had just entered the palace were soon forgotten. After all, the emperor had not summoned them for a month. It can be seen that the new couple could not make any progress.

Xu Jia lives in the lonely Changtian building. I heard that she once lived here with a beloved concubine, but now only she and another talented person who has just entered the palace live here. Every day, apart from being in a daze and having dinner, they are not qualified to go to the Queen's house, and they dare not go anywhere else, for fear of bumping into a noble person.

On the Qiqiao Festival, all the imperial concubines, big and small, finally went out of the palace, dressed up, just to meet the emperor by chance.

Xu Jia dressed up carefully and showed up in the imperial garden with her maids. On the way, she ran into many low ranking concubines. These women were older than her and not as beautiful as her. She straightened her clothes and tried to make herself more natural.

But before she could get far away, she saw the fake maids in front of her pushing away like a tide. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was the emperor and Princess Zhao who came with her. She hurried forward and said, "I've seen the emperor."

Feng Jin looked at the woman in pink in front of him and frowned slightly: "who are you?" Didn't you hear Gao Dezhong's high fives to show his retreat?

"I'm new to the palace..."

"I don't know the rules. Drag it down," Feng Jin frowned in disgust when he saw her like this. "A little talented person is wearing such a neat dress. He's reduced to the last class. He can't appear in front of me in the future." Then, regardless of the other's face, he walked away.

Zhuang Luoyan followed him and looked back at the talented person. She was in a panic and knelt on the ground.

She faintly smile, look, is another one to die.

Looking back at the figures in front of him, Zhuang Luoyan had a faint smile on his lips. He often knew the current affairs to live better. Xu Cairen even forgot who he was.
