Xining pulled the last few grains of boiled sparse millet porridge: "The others are not appetizing, so I went back." ”

Returning is a waste, where is thrift? Concubine De choked.

Concubine Xian glanced at it, picked it up with a smile, and put aside the topic: "Niangniang first came to Liangzhou, it seems that there is something unpleasant. ”

Xining finished eating at this time and put down the bowl: "It's very good, but there are some things I don't want to eat in the past two days." ”

The smile on Concubine Xian's face was a little solidified, why didn't this aunt queen play her cards according to common sense? Without saying a word, the sky was talked to death, how can people continue happily?

A group of palace maids stepped forward to wait for the queen to rinse her mouth, wipe her face and hands.

Linglong stepped forward to help with her makeup, and Concubine De took the opportunity to stand up: "Excuse me, wait for the concubine to come back to say goodbye." ”

"Soon enough!" Xining didn't dare to speak with her mouth wide because her lips were smeared with rouge, and her words were vague: "Look at the tea." ”

The queen didn't let her go, and Concubine De had to sit down again.

I don't know if anyone else will come, but the tea is still brewed in advance, so that when the king or princess comes, there will be tea. So I hurriedly brewed two more cups, and after the second cup was brewed, I added some hot water to it.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian could only pick up the tea, drink it and wait.

Four more beauties came, Xiao, Lin, He, and Qian Meiren. Seeing that Concubine De and Concubine Xian had already come, he first asked them for peace and then stood there waiting.

After Xining finished dressing up, she walked out with Linglong's support. Seeing two beauties who were either twenty-eight or double ten, after saluting, after glancing at her, although she lowered her head, her eyes still flashed with a little smile.

What else, see that she looks old.

In the previous plot, these six concubines didn't come over, and they never saw them. At this time, it should be the time when the owner asked Xue Pinggui to accompany her all day and all night, and the entire Zhaoyang Courtyard was decorated with lights and sang. The king is here, and no one will come to say goodbye, as if he came to compete for favor.

Xining gave a seat and instructed to serve tea.

This made it difficult for the palace maid who served the tea, and she had to take two more sets of tea sets, even half of the tea she had just brewed, and add hot water, for fear that the tea would be too hot, and continue to use cold water, so that the four cups of tea were served.

Six concubines are relatively large for the official eunuchs. In ancient times, it was not as easy as imagined to take a concubine, and the common people had to be over forty years old and had no children before they could apply for a concubine from the government. As for the concubines of officials, the higher the official position, the greater the number of concubines they can accept. The official to the prime minister can accept four concubines, and his parents and wife must agree to marry. Even if Wang Baochai's father only has one concubine, he still gave birth to a concubine and was raised as a concubine, and the concubine was fostered in the name of Wang Baochai's mother.

Of course, there are regulations for concubines, but maids who have sex and aunts who have opened their faces are not counted.

For one king, six concubines are too little.

looked left and right at the six beautiful concubines and beauties, and immediately understood. Concubine De and Concubine Xian were naturally born into powerful families, and the four beauties only have this title without backing. The beauty is away from the position of the fourth concubine, and there are nine concubines and nine Jieyu in the middle; Behind the beauties, there are talented people, world women, royal maids, and women, but all of them have given such unequal beauty titles.

Xining said with a smile: "Look at the beauty and dazzlingness of the country, even if it is me, my eyes have to see flowers." ”

The four beauties only laughed and didn't dare to respond, anyway, there were still two concubines, how could it be their turn to speak with beauties who were three levels apart.

Concubine De smiled: "Praise Niangniang everywhere for her benevolence, virtue, and loyalty." Israel serves the king, it can't last long, how can we be vulgar and vulgar fans, how can we compare with the virtue of the mother. I'm so ashamed! ”

Concubine De is really good at talking, she is old and dry, and she has a yellow-faced woman, so she pulls on the virtuous virtue, and people know that they are all lies, but they are also very comfortable.

Concubine Xian's eyes rolled and she interjected: "When it comes to appearance, how can the concubines compare to Princess Tortoiseball." ”

Just waiting for her to sink her face and run to the tortoiseshell's scheming watch to blow the wind?

Not fooled, Xining still smiled: "It's true, there are really few people in the world who can compare to the princess." Even if the favored mothers in the Tang Palace, most of them will be ashamed of themselves when they see the princess. ”

One of them, Qian Meiren, pretended to be bold and said: "When we went to the Splendid Palace just now, the princess just got up, and the cloud brocade was said to be the clothing rewarded by the Tang King. After saying that, everyone's eyes looked at the dress on Xining's body.

Although this dress is also elaborate and embroidered with complicated patterns, it is still far from Yunjin compared to Yunjin. Yunjin has always been exclusively for the royal family of the Central Plains, a piece of cloth one hundred taels of silver, ten taels of gold, and the gold and silver thread is even more priceless, and cannot be spread to the market.

Xining still smiled, without a jealous expression at all, and said lightly: "Only Yunjin can be worthy of the princess." "The old lady can't get it, and you can't get it? Isn't it just a cloud brocade dress, anyway, this old face won't be much more beautiful after wearing it, so you should be greedy.

After finishing speaking, she deliberately asked: "How many years have the six younger sisters been in the palace?" ”

So the six people answered one by one, the longest was Concubine De, who had been in the palace for nearly ten years, and entered the palace in the second year of Xue Pinggui's reign. seems to be a double ten, but in fact he is 26 years old. While others are three or five years.

Xining asked again: "Do you have an heir?" ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere sank and calmed down, looking a little awkward. After a long time, Concubine De slowly said: "I am blessed and shallow, and I have no heirs." "A beautiful face, miserable and white.

Xining shook her head slightly: "This is not good, it is the responsibility of being a concubine to spread the branches for the king." ”

He also sighed long: "I originally had a son, but the cold kiln was hard, and he died before he was three years old, and I cried for my life!" After saying that, he raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes.

The six concubines all cried out, and most of them should have really shed tears. It's not that I pity the owner, but I think of myself.

Tortoiseshell is domineering, and will definitely not let other women give birth to the heir to compete for her son's position. Presumably, the commonly used drink here is shunzi soup, and the commonly used spice is musk, even if you are pregnant, it will fall; Even if you are born, there is a way to die.

Xining pretended to cry while secretly watching these women tear up. Hehe, come on, who's afraid of whom, didn't she turn a corner and say that she was old, and now she was heartbroken, right?

He wiped the corners of his eyes again, and persuaded kindly: "I'm also old now, and the water will soon be exhausted." But you are still in your youth, and you have a man and a woman, and you will have something to rely on in the future. ”

These words made them full of sadness one by one, who doesn't want to, but who dares! Don't talk about the life of a child, even if the life of an adult is going to be gone, what can you rely on?

Xining turned to smile: "When you have it, just come over and take a walk, my old woman, when she is old, she wants to see the child." It's best if each of you has three or five births, so that this place is lively, and I like it. ”

"Yes, I will follow my mother's will." Six people stood and saluted.
