Empress and concubine

At first, I thought that Princess Li Guoqing and others would come at least after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but who knew that they would arrive half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I had to make new preparations. As for looking hectic.

Chu Yao had already promised that she would not go there, so she was so busy that she was dizzy, but she only sent Hong Zhu to help, and she took Hua Ying to help Bo Liangren pack her clothes at the Queen Mother's place.

But at the beginning, Bo Liangren had already changed five or six sets of clothes under the instructions of the Queen Mother. Chu Yao was a little tired after watching it for a long time, and seeing the Queen Mother's enthusiastic appearance, he felt a little disappointed.

If the Empress Dowager really wants to choose clothes for Liangren Bo, that's not necessarily the case. She probably dresses up Liangren Bo as a big doll. It will appear, but the Empress Dowager is in high spirits, Mrs. Bo is also very happy, Chu Yao also talks, just as a companion, so as not to disturb other people's interest, which is not good.

Chu Yao was a little thirsty, so she wanted to drink some tea. Who knew that as soon as she touched the teacup on the table, she realized that the tea in the cup was already cold, so she didn't move any more. Fortunately, the servants who were serving her went out quietly. , Chu Yao couldn't help laughing when a new refreshment came in, "Sure enough, it's the person serving by your mother's side, but his eyesight is a bit better than others."

When the queen mother heard that Chu Yao praised the people around her, she felt a little satisfied, and then looked carefully at the palace and said, "She is Wan's niece, she is sensible, and she lives up to Wan's teachings."

Aunt Wan is the only one who can be regarded as a Wan family in the Queen Mother's mouth.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yao knew in her heart that this palace man was Xia Yunjing's nail.Therefore, the smile on his face deepened, and he complimented the queen mother, "It turns out that she is Aunt Wan's niece, and I said who can teach such an excellent girl," Chu Yao said again, "I didn't know in the past That's all, now that the empress has said it herself, of course I want to reward it, Huaying."

Hearing this, Huaying immediately took a few steps forward from behind Chu Yao, took out a green purse embroidered with bamboo knots from the caged sleeve, and gave it to the palace man as a reward, and then continued to retreat behind Chu Yao. .

"You want to enjoy these things," the queen mother was very happy when she saw it, but on the surface she had to act as if you wanted to show her the reward, and then the queen mother said to the palace, "Concubine Shu rewarded you, you Then, when Concubine Shu comes in the future, you should also say a few more good words for her, lest one day she provokes me and gets annoyed by me, and there is no one to help her."

As soon as the queen mother said this, it was not what the palace people should say. Chu Yao knew that the little Wangong was from Xia Yunjing, so naturally she would not embarrass her, nor would she embarrass the queen mother. Well, it's just that Yao'er is so well-behaved and obedient, how can I make you so angry, Niang Niang?"

After hearing Chu Yao's words, the queen mother's face did not improve much, but her smile was a little bit bitter, "It's not that there is such a person, who used to be very well-behaved and sensible, who knows that he became like this later, but I can't wait to be with him." Old and dead have nothing to do with each other."

As soon as Chu Yao heard this, she knew that this was probably talking about Xia Yunjing, her face stiffened immediately, and she forced a smile, "Look at what your mother said, it's so serious." Just as Bo Liangren came in from the outside, Chu Yao saw Liang, "I used to have a slender waist, a light body, and a sense of immortality. The ancients did not deceive me. This set of clothes for Mr. Bo is very suitable."

Chu Yao's efforts to praise her finally attracted the Queen Mother's attention a bit, but when she saw Mrs. Bo who walked in, the rest of the points naturally followed.Out of the corner of her eye, Chu Yao caught a glimpse of the little Wangong man quietly getting up, still standing by, and couldn't help feeling satisfied.Regardless of who she is, just because she can see her position clearly, she is a very qualified member of the Great Xia Palace, but unfortunately, she cannot be used for herself.

The clothes that Mrs. Bo is wearing this time are mainly moon white, with bamboo embroidered on the bottom skirt and a few clusters of golden chrysanthemums. Because the tube top corresponds to the skirt, it is also made of bamboo and golden chrysanthemum, embroidered on the moiré Shu brocade, and the moon-white gauze from Xiliang is wrapped around a pair of bare chests. It is equipped with royal blue tulle outside, but the tulle material is thicker than usual, and now the tulle is also draped over the shoulders, so it doesn't look like the clothes are light and solemn.

Bo's hair was also carefully tied back and coiled up carefully. It didn't look like the common bun at palace banquets. Jade hairpins were often used on it, which was rare and precious. It was the black chrysanthemum corolla, the whole body Rumo is the rare treasure that even the Queen Mother can find here, so it can be seen that the Queen Mother has spent all her money this time to get Bo's family out.

"That's right," the queen mother finally nodded, which relieved the slightly nervous Mrs. Bo.

"It's all thanks to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu that this servant has the opportunity to wear such brocade clothes today." Mrs. Bo said cautiously.

"Liangren Bo is too modest. This piece of clothing has different auras when worn by different people. It is Mrs. Bo who has an elegant temperament that has such an effect," Chu Yao said to her after thinking for a while. , "One more thing, Mr. Bo Liang, you will definitely not be able to call yourself a slave in the future."

"That's right," the Queen Mother also became serious, "You are now the emperor's beloved man, not a palace servant back then, and you can no longer call yourself a slave, but when you meet a high-ranking concubine, you should also call yourself a concubine." He said, "You should also order to go down and set up the title. You can't let people look down on you."

"Slave maid... I can save it, thanks to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu for teaching me," said Bo with a very grateful expression on his face.

The queen mother suddenly said, "The emperor saw you today, and he must be promoted to you in two days. Your title should have been remembered long ago. If you like it, you should go to the table and tell the emperor earlier. In order not to get a title you don't like in the future, it will only make you unhappy."

"It's better for the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress to make the decision, and I don't dare to..."

"Why don't you just think about it for Mrs. Bo. My son sees that Mrs. Bo is very thin-skinned. Mrs. You ask her to tell the saint herself, I'm afraid she will only end up with the saint in the title drawn up by the people below. It's time to pick one," Chu Yao advised sincerely, "It's better to think of a backup for Liangren Bo first, and if you meet someone that Liangren Bo doesn't like, it can just solve the 'urgent need' Woolen cloth."

"Nonsense," the Queen Mother glanced at Chu Yao with a smile in her eyes, "Is it possible to use 'Urgent Urgent' in this way? I never saw you speak like this in the past, but now it's becoming more and more confusing, and even allusions are used indiscriminately."

Chu Yao stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and then looked at Bo, "What do you think?"

Although Bo has something good in his heart, he is eager to ask the Queen Mother to think of it for himself. Even if he tells it, it will be more rare than what he asked for, so naturally he only replied, "Good."

The queen mother took a closer look at Mrs. Bo, but saw Chu Yao's eyes widened, and she looked a little empty-handed. She couldn't help being a little funny, "There are tens of thousands of titles available, and it's a bit difficult to choose one that suits you. , Yao’er, I think you’ve been thinking about it for a long time, why don’t you tell me about it so that I can refer to it in detail.”

The empress dowager's rare taste made Chu Yao a little embarrassed, but the title matter really couldn't help Chu Yao. Isn't the word "Yun" a ready-made answer? Personally asking Xia Yunjing for it, it can be proved that Bo's love for this word is extraordinary, and it is good to sell Bo at this time, and it can only be regarded as "heart-to-heart".

"How about the word 'Yun'," Chu Yao quickly replied, "Speaking of which, Bo Liangren's temperament is very similar to the green bamboo in the mountains. Yao'er thought that the word 'Yun' couldn't be more suitable. .”

"But," the Queen Mother saw that Liangren Bo was a little dazed and seemed to be confused, and said, "Bo, you don't like this word? But it's okay, just change it."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Bo Liang hurriedly interrupted, "I like it." After saying this, he felt a little disrespectful, and hurriedly explained, "As for the queen mother, my concubine has liked the word 'yun' very much since she was a child. In the old days, I thought that when I asked my mother to take the small characters, I would definitely use this character. Now that Concubine Shu is talking about it, my concubine..."

Seeing that the depths of Bo's eyes really flashed and continued to shed tears, Chu Yao was a little surprised, her eyes couldn't help flickering, and hurriedly said, "It's just me who hit it by mistake, as long as Mr. Bo likes it," and smiled at the queen mother Said, "Now that I have done such a great favor to my empress and Bo Liangren, my empress will reward me."

"You," the Empress Dowager shook her head with a broken smile, tapped Chu Yao's forehead, and said, "Go and get that five-tailed eight-treasure gilt step from my palace." Chu Yao held his hand, and sighed, "If Princess Li hadn't come this time, the palace would definitely have protected you as a noble concubine, but now, the queen is still here, and the imperial concubine who is the deputy queen will naturally be vacant , you have been wronged now, I just want you to be more at ease, this five-tailed phoenix hairpin is my favorite, and now I gave it to you, just to let you know, so there is no imperial concubine title, except you, no one Others can afford this hairpin."

"Your Majesty is pity, I shouldn't have resigned, but the five-tailed phoenix hairpin is the honor of the imperial concubine, and the empress will keep it for now. When the imperial concubine enters the palace, then..." Chu Yao felt a little chilled when he spoke. She likes herself and wants to stand up for herself. Now that she is giving this hairpin, she is setting herself up as a target. No matter who becomes a noble concubine in the future, she will definitely regard herself as a thorn in the side. After the Jin seal is passed, no matter how much the queen mother protects, the attention allocated is very limited. It really is easy to calculate, and people can't refuse one move. You have to be forced to wear it in public and slap the imperial concubine in the face.

Resignation once, resignation twice, but resignation can't be repeated again and again, this hairpin is still in Chu Yao's hands, like a hot potato, it is hot to touch, but it can't be transferred, it is not good for people to sit or stand, it really is the Queen Mother's hand. respect.
