The Favored Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(80)

King Jin was displeased, but when he saw her drooping eyebrows, the words he almost blurted out changed in his throat, and he changed his words: "I should put my husband first. Do it twice..." After a pause, "Do it for that little brat."

Hearing King Jin describe Xiaobao as a little boy, Yao Niang was a little reluctant, "He is not called a little boy. He is called Xiaobao if he is famous."

King Jin snorted, thinking that the adults would not care about the faults of the villains. He was a majestic king, but he had no sense to care about the little brat. He couldn't help but his eyes rolled around Yao Niang's belly, then returned to her face: "Just rest."

Yao Niang hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up.

After he stood up, he realized that his movements were too hasty, as if he was eager for him to stop. Sure enough, when she raised her eyes, she saw that the corner of his mouth was curled up. Yao Niang wanted to explain, but she didn't bother to explain now. It was just a misunderstanding.

And this night is destined to be very long.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside, and King Jin was no longer there.

I vaguely remember that when he got up before, he seemed to have woken up, but for some reason he fell asleep again. Yao Niang felt a little uncomfortable and asked Yu Chan to prepare water for her to bathe.

She was still a little unfamiliar with Hong Silk and the others, and was not used to having them serve in such personal matters. In fact, she had already been served once last night, which was the most embarrassing moment for her. However, she was not in a clear mind at that time, so she pretended that nothing happened.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I was humiliated last night.

After that, she came out and asked the red silk servants to dress and make up. When she saw that there was nothing wrong with them, Yao Niang felt relieved.

Asked what time it was, Hongdie replied that Chen hour had just arrived.

Yao Niang couldn't help but feel a little confused. According to the rules of the palace, Prince Jin's concubines had to go to Siyi Courtyard to pay respects to the princess at every hour and quarter every day.

Should she go or not?

It stands to reason that she has become the concubine of King Jin, and she should pay her respects to the princess on the day after the big day and receive instructions.

But it's not impossible not to go. She has many excuses, such as not settling in yet, or being too tired from serving King Jin last night. The princess is a decent person, so it is impossible for her to scold her for this matter.

But Yao Niang knew clearly that this day would always come, and she could not avoid it all the time. King Jin could protect her for a while, but he could not protect her for a lifetime.

"Pack up and go to Siyi Courtyard."

It seemed that she didn't expect her to say that, and the girls were a little surprised.

Hong Silk probably knew what was going on, and understood how difficult it was for Yao Niang to make such a decision, so she couldn't help but say: "Actually, Madam, you don't have to go today. It's not impossible to wait a few days before going."

Yao Niang could also see that this girl had good intentions, and just as she was about to say something, Yu Chan said, "This trip, Madam, should go, sooner rather than later."

Yaoniang nodded and asked several girls to help her dress up.

During this period, Yu Chan said to her: "Madam, don't be afraid that someone will say bad things." As she said that, she told her what happened in the house yesterday.

After hearing this, Yao Niang had mixed feelings in her heart. She thought that the King of Jin would not care about such a thing. After all, he had always felt like he was overbearing and overbearing, and he never cared about what she would think. He never expected...

But then she thought about it no longer. Maybe he was just doing it for himself. After all, it would not sound good for a dignified prince to get under someone's bed and be caught in the bed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yao Niang had no time to think about it, so she hurriedly led people to Siyi Courtyard.

Such a turmoil happened yesterday. When they came to Siyi Courtyard to pay their respects, most of the people headed by Concubine Hu looked unhappy.

The princess usually arrives late and only waits for everyone to arrive before she comes out.

In Hu Fangfei's words, this was trying to show off her princess's airs. She might have gotten up early and sat inside to watch the jokes made by outsiders. But even if this is the case, others can't say anything. You come to say hello and the princess sees you, that's to give you dignity. The princess doesn't see you and leaves you alone, and can't say anything else.

Who said that someone is a big woman, a real wife, and she should be superior to others.

Concubine Hu was sitting on the first chair on the left. Beneath her was Concubine Xu, and below her were Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao. Opposite her, Concubine Liu was sitting there alone.

Concubine Liu seemed a little out of place since she entered Prince Jin's Mansion. Concubine Hu was doting on her, Concubine Xu was getting close to her, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao didn't want to offend Concubine Hu. Naturally, she was sitting wherever she was earlier, and now she was sitting there, which made her appear to be particularly isolated from others.

However, this person always has a noble character. Even if others talk to her, she seems to be indifferent. The more times she does it, the less likely others will pay attention to her.

As for the other concubines who had just entered the house, because they were in a humble position and were not as old as Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tao, they were standing beside the King of Jin. Even Zhang Dunzi was not allowed to sit down.

"The princess is here."

There was only a sound of bead curtains clashing, and Princess Jin walked out of the inner room. He is still as elegant and elegant as ever. Princess Jin always likes to be pure, but at times like this, she usually shows off her majesty as a princess.

As soon as Princess Jin sat down on the first seat, someone came to report: "Princess, Mrs. Su is here."

This name sounds a bit strange at first, and many people can't react. It wasn't until Princess Jin called in and the person slowly walked in from the door that everyone was surprised that Mrs. Su was actually Nanny Su.

She was wearing a light red narrow-sleeved double-breasted jacket, paired with a lotus-colored twelve-piece silk skirt. Her waist was extremely narrow, making her willow-like waist look even more slender. Because of her thin waist, her figure looked like a gourd, with a bulging chest and a round and beautiful buttocks.

She had an exquisite reverse-bun butterfly bun, with a red gold exquisite curling hairpin inserted diagonally at the end of the bun, and a red gold filigree hairpin inlaid with red jewel butterfly flowers in the side position.

She swayed three times with every step, full of romantic charm. Although she looked humble and pleasing to the eye, she could never be associated with low-key and introverted.

One would only think - what a style of a concubine!

Those who had not seen Yao Niang were surprised by her peerless elegance, but those who had seen her in person were astonished. This person used to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, and what's the honest look, he is not as good as me... All of this is like one slap after another, slapping Concubine Hu's face hard, catching her off guard.

Even Concubine Xu looked like she was facing a great enemy, staring at the woman with half-drooped eyebrows but giving people an infinite sense of threat.

On the contrary, the Princess of Jin, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at the faces of the people below, and a smile flashed in her eyes. This smile became bigger and bigger, and she even had the urge to laugh out loud.

"Come here, take a seat."

No one would ignore the smile in the voice of the Princess of Jin. At first, they were a little surprised, but then they thought that this woman was stuffed by the other party to the side of the little princess, and suddenly they had a sudden realization. In this game, the Princess of Jin is the biggest winner?

Yao Niang did not show off her favor. She respectfully saluted the Princess of Jin, and then saluted the three concubines, and then sat down next to Concubine Xu under the guidance of the maid.

The atmosphere in the field was a little weird, and no one spoke for a while.

It was Concubine Hu who couldn't hold back and took the lead: "Nanny Su is so generous, I never thought that you and I would become sisters."

That is to say, the title of Nanny Su was clearly meant to be shameful. Everyone was waiting for this impatient Madam Su to jump out and fight with Concubine Hu, preferably with both sides hurt and angering His Highness.

But Yao Niang sat there, as if she didn't hear it.

"Could it be that Nanny Su disdains to talk to me as a sister?"

Yao Niang then raised her head and said timidly and hesitantly: "Concubine, I don't know what to say."

This is the truth, how can she respond to such words? So she might as well say nothing.

At this time, Princess Jin spoke.

She said with some displeasure: "Concubine Hu, you are the elder sister, so you should be tolerant. Concubine Su has just arrived and has just served His Highness. If there is anything she does not understand or is wrong, we, who are a little older than her, can give her more advice. There is really no need to be so aggressive."

After saying that, she paused, looked around at the beauties and said: "Harmony should be the first priority in the harem, and everything should be done to serve His Highness with all our heart and soul, and to continue the heirs for His Highness and the Zhao royal family. Don't be jealous and cause trouble for no reason. Do you understand?"

"Follow the instructions of the princess." Almost in unison, they all bowed their heads and responded regardless of whether they were willing or not.

Princess Jin is the wife of Prince Jin, so she has the responsibility to manage the women in the inner house. And generally speaking, Princess Jin has always done a good job, and it is almost impossible to find fault with her.

"This is only the first time for Concubine Hu. You are the biological mother of the little princess and should set an example. Concubine Su..." Princess Jin's eyes moved to Yao Niang, and her tone was obviously much softer: "You are loved by His Highness. You should serve His Highness wholeheartedly and give birth to a little prince for His Highness as soon as possible. At that time, I will personally submit a petition to the court to request that you be given a concubine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Yao Niang.

Concubines are different from concubines. They are concubines who are listed in the imperial book. They not only have ranks, but also receive annual salaries from the court. According to the system, a prince can only have four concubines at most. Now three of them have been taken. If the remaining position is really given to Yao Niang, even if the King of Jin has another concubine who is loved by him in the future, there will be no more positions to be promoted.

The Princess of Jin said this, obviously she values ​​Yao Niang, maybe she doesn't need her to give birth to a little prince, maybe in the future, the position of concubine will be in her pocket.

Although the Princess did not say it explicitly, her words were all about this. For a moment, the others felt mixed emotions, Madam Li and Madam Tao, who had been out of favor for many years, were so jealous that their eyes turned red, and the new concubines wanted to pull Yao Niang down so that they could be favored by His Highness and valued by the Princess.
