Concubine Li Xian glanced at her and said indifferently: "What did she tell you yesterday?" ”

can be the most valued maid around Concubine Li Xian, Yan'er has a very good set of skills, and she can always remember what others want to say to her master.

Hearing Concubine Li Xian's question, she repeated, "It's just that I still have a lot to say with the queen mother today, and the queen mother left me for dinner, and I can't go to Changchun Palace." Fortunately, the emperor kept me and the prince in the palace, and then I had to stay in the palace for a few days, so I naturally had time to see her. ”

Even his tone and demeanor imitated Xue's.

Concubine Li Xian pursed her lips when she heard this, and suddenly sneered, "Also, what she said is that she has time to see me, not that she will come to Changchun Palace to see me, it seems that I am not worthy of her big move." ”

If she didn't want to listen to Yan'er stir up the fire yesterday, today she was really annoyed by the Xue family.

Thinking of Xue's lukewarm appearance towards her in the past, Concubine Li Xian's heart gradually became indifferent.

Yan'er saw that she seemed to be really angry, and she didn't dare to interject, so she whispered for a long time: "Does that lady want to make up again?" ”

"Comb, why not?"

Concubine Li Xian looked back at her, "Be sure to comb it smoothly and neatly, and be meticulous." ”

……

Concubine Li Xian dressed up and went to Kunning Palace in a sedan chair.

She knew that her appearance in the harem was not outstanding, but she still had to dress up, not for beauty, but to make her look more dignified and noble.

For this purpose, she deliberately wore her most valuable jewelry-

After entering the palace, he met the Queen Mother for the first time, and the Queen Mother rewarded him with a peach jade flat golden hairpin.

Concubine Li Xian sat on the sedan chair and staggered, stretched out her hand to support the golden hairpin with sideburns, and her face gradually changed from calm to faint smile.

There was a hint of awe-inspiring in this smile.

……

"Queen Mother, Concubine Li Xian has arrived."

The palace maid came in to report, and then Concubine Li Xian walked in from outside the hall and bowed down to the top blessing, "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye." ”

She raised her head and saw Queen Zhou and the second princess sitting opposite each other, seemingly drinking tea and talking.

When the Xue family saw her coming, they stood up, and Concubine Li Xian and her were blessed, "I haven't seen the second princess for a long time, and I haven't congratulated you on your wedding." ”

Concubine Li Xian opened her mouth first, and her address was different from before.

Xue's kindness is like a stream, "Concubine Xian is happy, and I should have congratulated me a long time ago." ”

Concubine Li Xian smiled when she heard this, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Empress Zhou said: "What are you doing standing?" Let's all sit down and talk. ”

Xue sat down again in his original position, and Concubine Li Xian paused, so she had to sit down first.

This position obviously made her a little uncomfortable.

It is said that the princess and the concubine are of the same grade.

But because the concubine is the emperor's concubine, she is generally courteous and respectful, which makes the concubine position higher than that of the prince and princess.

Now that the Xue family did not give courtesy to Concubine Li Xian, but sat down on the top by himself, it seemed unreasonable.

Xue Shi looked at Concubine Li Xian, and suddenly stood up from his seat, "I forgot, please sit here!" ”

She looked like she had just reacted.

Concubine Li Xian frowned slightly, a little hesitant, and at this moment Empress Zhou smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down quickly?" You are a guest, Concubine Xian and I are the hosts, so naturally let the guests sit on the throne, sit down! ”

When Concubine Li Xian heard this, she had no choice but to say, "Yes, you are a guest, or you can sit." ”

Xue Shi looked embarrassed, "Since that's the case, then I'll sit down." In the past two days of entering the palace, the prince and I have been treated everywhere, the emperor is like this, the queen is like this, and now even the virtuous concubine is too, which really flatters me. ”

Concubine Li Xian secretly thought about these words in her heart, and she always felt like she was beating herself.

The emperor treats the second prince very hospitablely, which means that he values them and his wife, so does the Xue family dare to be rude in front of her?

I couldn't grasp the big mistakes, which made Concubine Li Xian extremely uncomfortable.

Queen Zhou waved her hand, Dan'er stepped forward to serve a few plates of snacks, Concubine Li Xian glanced at it, and knew that it was the same as the one placed on the first table.

These dim sum are really exquisite, and they are all good dishes in the palace's imperial dining room, and you may not be able to eat them if you want to eat them outside.

For example, what lotus shortbread, small jasmine crystal cake, cardamom beauty cake......

It seems that Empress Zhou did prepare refreshments carefully, and Concubine Li Xian was glad that she didn't bring the snacks from Changchun Palace, which would only make her too arrogant and perfunctory in comparison.

She picked up the teacup casually and sniffed it, and the aroma was fragrant.

This is not the tea that Queen Zhou is used to drinking on weekdays.

Queen Zhou likes to drink Lushan Yunwu and Southern Fujian Tieguanyin on weekdays, but today's tea is extraordinarily sweet, Concubine Li Xian frowned slightly, "This tea is so fragrant, is it jasmine tea?" ”

"It's jasmine mixed with West Lake Longjing to make flower tea."

Queen Zhou said with a smile: "Two days ago, the queen mother sent someone from the imperial garden, saying that someone offered a lot of jasmine flowers to the queen mother, and the two aunts of Chunhua and Chunjing took it to make a lot of snacks and flower tea. The queen mother tasted it and thought it was good, so she sent some into the palace for me, and there was only a small jar in total. I was reluctant to drink it, so I took it out to serve you today. ”

It was the queen mother's reward.

Concubine Li Xian felt a little surprised in her heart, not only did this reward not reach her, she had never even heard of it.

Xue said with a smile: "I got up early this morning and heard from the fourth and fifth princes that they also drank this jasmine tea from the eldest princess. It seems that the last time the eldest princess went to the imperial garden, she happened to bump into the two aunts in the making, so she asked a few words casually. The queen mother said that when it was ready, she would send it to the palace with the queen's mother. ”

It turns out that even the eldest princess has it.

Concubine Li Xian's heart became more and more unsettled, is she not as good as a queen, nor as a princess?

What made her even more delicious was that Queen Zhou and the Xue family had a mother, they were both serious daughters-in-law of the Queen Mother, so they could be called so-

Only she, Concubine Li Xian, can't.

The concubine cannot be judged by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Concubine Li Xian suddenly felt that she was sitting here, and she was really shorter than the two of them.

Queen Zhou didn't notice it, and only responded to Xue with a smile, "Yes, the eldest princess said that the taste is ordinary, but she asked Aunt Chunjing to dye her nails in the Imperial Garden, and she also said that she would teach Dan'er to dye it for me when she went back!" I think this jasmine tea is good, but it's too little, and I don't want to drink it on weekdays. ”

She smiled sweetly, and Concubine Li Xian understood it at a glance.

Where is jasmine tea good?

Queen Zhou was born in everyone, what kind of good tea baked by skilled craftsmen has not been drunk? Will this kind of joke be rare?

It's just that this heart from her mother-in-law makes her like it.

Concubine Li Xian finally couldn't help but open her mouth, "The queen mother also has a small jar, if the concubine doesn't come to the mother, she won't even be able to smell the taste." ”
