Chu Guiren's hand with red nails gently picked up the tea cup, brought it to his nose and took a sniff, his face calmed for a while.
The tea was good, but not enough to excite her.
This kind of thing in the northwest is not as exciting as the soul-hunting wine.
It's just that the person sitting in the seat is a noble concubine. As a noble lady who has just entered the palace, it's not easy for her to show off her temper in front of her.
With his eyes wandering, he looked towards the last seat opposite and saw Lin Wanyi, and suddenly he felt jealous.
Angrily, he said in Lin Wanyi's direction.
"It is said that His Majesty has received a new promise from a fairy, and I guess it is this Sister Lin. She is indeed so pretty, and you have outdone all the sisters in the Sixth Palace."
After saying that, he smiled, but his eyes were full of boundless indifference and hostility.
coming!
As expected, this favor will become the target of public criticism.
Let this stupid Chu noble take the lead, so that they can see what the new Lin's methods are like? Or what is the backer behind him?
Therefore, he raised his head to look at the Chu nobleman who had just been so angry, and replied to her with a tone that was three-quarters distant and six-cent generous.
They were people that Chu Guiren could not afford to offend, so even if she gritted her teeth, she could only swallow her breath angrily.
But now she was in the palace, meeting her for the first time. If she was stepped down, it would be difficult for her to stand up in the future.
One praised Concubine Lin, and the other secretly criticized Concubine Chu for being shortsighted.
So, he spoke in a gentle tone.
It has always been the behavior of the Chu nobles to be unyielding and unforgiving.
The patronage became bigger and bigger, and the matter of praising the concubine's appearance was pushed to the emperor and Princess Rongkang in one sentence.
"Sister, I was just quick-talking, and I didn't mean to do it. Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, has the kindest temper. She will definitely not blame your elder sister. I am young and ignorant, and I have made your noble elder sister angry. Please punish me, Your Imperial Concubine."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I made a mistake."
She represents the face of the Prime Minister and Concubine Lin. Even if it is just a mere promise, it is not a promise that can be violated by others.
"Sister Lin really has a clever mouth. Her few words made me offend the imperial concubine. Those who knew about it naturally knew that I was just praising my sister for her beauty. Those who didn't know thought that I was disrespectful to the imperial concubine.
My sister is really good at sowing discord as soon as she enters the palace!"
A critical moment.
With a wave of his hand, Qin He immediately brought out some palace flowers and diverted the topic away from him.
"So, sister, I think too much."
But now that the concubines are all here, if she doesn't protect Lin Wanyi, people will speculate that the people in their prime minister's house are estranged, go against her original intention, and cause some trouble, so she has to continue.
He is smart and beautiful. If he supports such a person to rise to power, he is afraid that he will make enemies for himself in the future.
He turned to Concubine Lin who was sitting on the throne and bowed down, her tone was much less intense than the pressing step by step just now.
In one word, I picked myself out.
"Thank you for your praise, sister. It's just that no one in the Sixth Palace knows that the noble concubine is so beautiful that she can conquer the country and the city, and her maids and concubines are so beautiful that they dare not compare with her."
"Thank you, empress."
Concubine Lin looked at the two people below who were obediently confessing their crimes, and she felt both happy and worried at the same time.
There was a smile on her lips, as if she was watching the cats and dogs having fun, but the warning in her eyes accurately reached Lin Wanyi.
With Concubine Lin as her support, Lin Wanyi lost a lot of respect.
Lin Wanyi's previous thought was to try not to stand out too much and to blend in if he could, but he didn't expect that not even a quarter of an hour after he sat down, the other party came over to provoke him.
In just a few words, he turned the situation around. Not only did he clear his mind, but he also forced Chu Guiren to bow his head and admit his mistake. It was really amazing!
If she doesn't have enough protection, anyone can come to her to show off her power, so how can she live a peaceful life in the future?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Concubine Lin sitting in the seat.
It was a relief to be defeated by Lin Wanyi's clever words.
The meaning behind the words is that everyone present is a human being who hangs out in the harem. Who doesn't understand the truth behind it.
"Sister, I have misunderstood. I have never had such thoughts. Your Majesty has praised the noble concubine for her heavenly appearance. When I was still at home, I often heard my grandmother and second aunt mention this matter.
That’s why I keep it in mind. As for what my sister complained about, you and I have no grievances. This is the first time we have met. It’s too late for me to make peace with you, so how can I sow discord?"
There was no room for weak people in the palace. After looking around at the concubines, Lin Wanyi knew what they meant.
Seeing how sincere and calm she was, if Mr. Chu didn't kneel down, he would probably be charged with contempt for the concubine.
Concubine Lin is still one step away from being able to aspire to the throne and become the most noble woman in the harem and even the world, so she must pretend to be virtuous.
Chu Guiren was so excited by her words that he almost broke the tea cup in his hand.
So if you don't look for someone to vent your anger to, you will probably get angry and sick if you relieve your boredom.
When he looked at Lin Wanyi again, there was no concealment in his eyes, and his disgust was obvious.
If Lin Wanyi had softened her heart at this moment, she would probably be crucified by Guiren Chu's words.
He said to Lin Wanyi word for word.
After saying that, he knelt down and bowed down to Concubine Lin. His words were calm, but with a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing.
"It's all just talk. You two sisters don't need to think too much. I'm not a petty person. Please get up."
The contempt in his eyes was clearly visible, and the other concubines were either watching the excitement or listening to rumors.
So I have to bow my head no matter how reluctant I am.
This Chu nobleman relied on his prominent family background, youth and beauty to offend many people during the month he entered the palace.
But Lin Wanyi's subtle use of strength made Lin Guifei a little afraid.
In the northwest, her father was honored as General Huwei, the most powerful general under the Marquis of the Northwest. Who wouldn't think highly of her when he saw her?
But when she entered the palace, this was also the empress, and that was also the empress. She was always a dwarf, how could she bear this leisurely attitude.
"I thank you for your kindness."
If she followed her past thoughts, she would naturally avoid it if she could.
"The weather is fine in April now. Yesterday, the people from the Imperial Household Department sent these palace flowers. I think they are quite timely. My sisters, take a look and see if you like them."
After that, he asked the maids to stand in front of the concubines with plates and let them choose.
The palace flowers are made of silk cloth. Not only are the flowers realistic in shape, but the texture and core of the flowers are also handled very vividly. From a distance, one might think they are real flowers.
In the Wei Dynasty, there was a custom of wearing hairpins. In the early years, freshly picked flowers were worn on the temples to highlight the appearance.
