Chapter 362 Meng Jingxian (9)
The speaker was a second-class eunuch from Jingren Palace. He was also smart. He greeted people and started lining up. Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan subconsciously stood in the first row. The eunuch frowned and hesitated to speak, but suddenly thought of Jianqiu. I turned a blind eye to what my aunt told me to do.
In this way, the first row is Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, the second row is Fu Chagui and Meng Jingxian, the third row is Fang Jiachunyi and Xia Dongchun, and An Lingrong is alone in the last row.
"Sister Fucha, you are a noble, how come you are in the same row with me, a little Chang Zai?" Meng Jingxian looked at the noble Fucha, with a look of surprise on her face, which made the noble Fucha glance at Meng Jingxian, and then raised her eyes. He glanced at Zhen Huan and finally said nothing.
Meng Jingxian was a little surprised by Fu Chayixin's reaction. Logically speaking, with Fucha Yixin's temper, once someone revealed it to her, wouldn't she be allowed to cause trouble?How could it be so bland?
As for Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, they were talking small talk, so they didn't pay attention to what happened next.
After everyone was lined up and Yixiu had expressed his condolences to the old people in Qiandi, he announced the newcomers into the hall.
Rows of newcomers walked into the inner hall and saluted Yi Xiu: "Concubine, I pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity."
"Sisters, no courtesy." The queen said kindly.
"Thank you, Queen." The newly promoted concubines said respectfully.
"My sisters came so early today, are you still used to life in the palace?" the queen asked again.
All the new concubines said: "Thanks to the queen's care, everything is fine."
"It's not too late for me to come, right?"
Just when the Queen excused herself from the ceremony and everyone stood up, a charming and arrogant man walked up to the Queen, bowed perfunctorily, and then sat down in his seat.
"Sister Concubine Hua, you are so late, are you feeling unwell?" Concubine Qi Li Jingyan has always been straightforward, and she didn't say this out of concern for Concubine Hua, so she asked directly.
Nian Shilan glanced at Li Jingyan and said arrogantly: "The emperor was late to read the memorial last night, so I was a little late with you. This morning, the emperor refused to let me get up early, so I was late. ." After saying that, he turned around and looked at the queen.She smiled sweetly and said, "Queen, please don't be angry."
Although the queen was unhappy in her heart, she still said generously and virtuously: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs for many days, and it is inevitable that he will neglect his sister, so he must love her more. Since I have met all the new sisters today, we will also see you more in the future. A companion."
Seeing Concubine Hua's appearance, Xia Dongchun slightly pushed Chun Changzai beside him, and said softly: "Who is this Concubine Hua doing to show her such a powerful act?"
Chun Chang glanced at Xia Dongchun in confusion at Fang Jiachunyi, and then quickly lowered his head. Seeing Fang Jiachunyi's appearance, Xia Dongchun curled his lips in boredom and stopped talking.
After Concubine Hua heard this, she straightened her clothes, glanced at Xia Changzai, and said nothing.
Seeing that all the empresses were ready, Jiang Fuhai shouted: "All the young masters bow down to the empress!"
All the new concubines began to perform a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and bowing nine times: "May the Queen be blessed with peace of mind."
Yi Xiu glanced at the proud Concubine Hua, with a professional fake smile on his face: "Everyone, get up."
All the young masters: "Thank you, Queen."
"Sisters, please also meet the concubines." Yi Xiu motioned to Jiang Fuhai with his eyes. Jiang Fuhai also immediately understood what the queen meant. He mentioned that Concubine Duan was not feeling well and that everyone could not see her today. Concubine Hua's His face looked ugly to the naked eye. This was Jiang Fuhai's way to please the queen to avenge him.
The queen asked Jianqiu to go and see the sick Concubine Duan. When the new mistress heard this, she felt that the queen cared about the concubines in the harem and acted like a mother to the world, so she developed a good impression of the queen.
Meng Jingxian raised her eyes slightly, and then quickly lowered her head. She had to sigh that these two speakers were very skilled.
Then it was time to meet Concubine Hua. The newcomers performed the proper etiquette towards Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua did not call out and left the newcomers alone, and instead started talking to the empress.
Concubine Hua said to the Queen in a show-off manner: "The green jade sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year is a little floating and not transparent at all."
On the surface, she dislikes the delicate color of jade and is not suitable for herself to wear. In fact, she is showing off to the queen and other mistresses that only Concubine Hua has high-end jade earrings. It also demonstrates her power. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is all about good things. Let her pick up what she needs first.
The queen only showed off as a concubine, and did not want to argue with her, so she took advantage of the situation and said: "Sister, at your current age, you don't need jade. The color of the jade chosen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is naturally greener!"
Afterwards, Concubine Hua and the Queen fought in the ring with Jade and Dongzhu for a while, and Concubine Hua ended up losing. The Queen once again acted as a good old lady and reminded Concubine Hua that it was time to call in new people.
Concubine Hua then said with a smile: "Hey, I was so busy talking to the queen that I forgot that you were still polite. Get up."
What can the new young master say? She can only say thank you to Concubine Hua. In fact, several of her legs are starting to tremble. Meng Jingxian uses the spiritual spring to maintain her health and exercises a lot. At this moment, she is not as uncomfortable as others.
Concubine Hua also mentioned Xia Dongchun, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan.
The former complimented the Queen and completely offended Concubine Hua, while the latter cleverly took out the concubine in a few words, but also attracted attention.
The Queen got the order from the Queen Mother and did not have to go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects, so she dispersed.
Recalling the Yi Zhang Hong incident, Meng Jingxian deliberately slowed down her pace and was the last one to walk out of Jingren Palace. She was still very slow. When Meng Jingxian walked out, Concubine Hua had already dealt with Xia Dongchun and left. As for Zhen Huan and others, they were nowhere to be seen. .
Originally, Meng Jingxian wanted to save Xia Dongchun. After all, the Xia family's connections and power were excellent. Wouldn't it be great if they could be used for her, but... Meng Jingxian didn't dare to bet on whether Xia Dongchun's stupidity would implicate herself. , so in the end we can only let the plot develop. As for Xia Dongchun, Meng Jingxian will take more care of her secretly and prevent people from dying. Maybe it can be used in the future.
"Baozhu, you can use those people." Meng Jingxian is not without connections. In this harem, there are naturally connections accumulated by the Meng family over the years. Although they are not serving in important places, even if they are in various palaces, they are not It's just a rough move.
Baozhu said yes and returned to Chengqian Palace with Meng Jingxian. Not long after, news came that Xia Dongchun had been killed by a zhanghong, Zhen Huan met Paofu in Shenmeizhuang by chance, and Zhen Huan even fell ill when she returned. However, there was no An Ling in the story this time. Allow.
Thinking about it, in the original plot, An Lingrong received a gift of earrings and hairpins from Zhen Huan, and later even invited her to live with him. He always thought of Zhen Huan, but after Meng Jingxian's suggestion, most of them followed Fu Cha. The relationship between nobles and Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang is not so close.
Some slaves secretly set up a bet on who would go to bed first. Someone spent a lot of money on Shenmeizhuang, which had to make those slaves feel rich.
