Chapter 642 Greetings upon Entering the Palace
Hu Huanling walked in among a group of palace people, walking gracefully, her skirt barely moving, it can be seen that even though she is the daughter of a merchant, she has also learned the rules.
"Sisters, please forgive me!" She was the latest to enter the palace, and although she was the second in line, she was younger than them. When the queen entered the palace, everyone knew that she was a gentle and humble woman.
However, her humility did not gain respect, and her background was not good.
While speaking, someone shouted outside the door: "The regent princess is here, the eldest princess is here!"
Everyone looked over and saw that Xia Zi'an was wearing the court dress of the regent princess, the satin red fish pattern embroidered palace skirt was embellished with flying phoenix embroidery, the elegant silver dot emerald hairpin was inserted on the fallen horse bun, and two East China Sea hairpins were hanging on the earlobe. The pearl earrings are so simple, you know it is Hu Huanxi's handwriting.
The Eldest Princess is dressed in very plain colors today, the skirt is only dark moiré color, small begonia flowers are embroidered on the cuffs, and a few flowers are embroidered on the blue edge of the front, very elegant.
Hu Huanling did not expect Xia Zi'an's appearance to be so outstanding. In the past, she heard rumors about her superb medical skills and sharp methods, but she had never heard of her appearance being so outstanding.
She pinched the handkerchief in her hand, but maintained a decent smile on her face.
Zi'an's eyes also fell on the Queen, who was somewhat similar to Hu Huanxi, but the curvature of his face was softer than Hu Huanxi's, and there was a faint smile on his eyes and brows. Everyone is a lady, but Zi'an thought of Hu Huanxi's adjective, and couldn't help but secretly added an adjective at the end, "sweet mouth and belly sword!"
She looked over again, Concubine Yi was wearing a yellow dark cloud pattern embroidered oleander brocade dress today, her hands were covered in wide sleeves, she was lightly applied with makeup and powder, she was wearing a flowing cloud bun, and a long golden cloth with golden tassels fell down , shaking slightly beside the ear.
She looked indifferent, and stood quietly, and the Seventh Prince stood beside her, with the same expression as her.
Concubine Mei's makeup is a bit thicker today, but she can't hide the palm prints on her face. It seems that she was not only punished to kneel before, but also slapped.
She is wearing a blue palace dress today, with a ponytail on her arm. She doesn't stand out, and she doesn't dare to stand out. The third prince supports her, with a calm and forbearing face. Looking at him like this, Zi'an thinks of Lao Qi, perhaps, he was young That's it.
Zi'an walked in front of Hu Huanling, and smiled slightly, "Xia Zi'an sees the empress!"
Hu Huanling smiled and held Zi'an's hand, "Zian, right? I've heard of you a long time ago, you really look pretty and lovely."
Zi'an said with a smile: "The empress has won the prize, Zi'an's appearance is vulgar, how can there be a queen in case?"
Hu Huanling smiled even more, and a rosy glow flew up on his face, "Sister Zi'an is joking."
While speaking, I heard someone shouting, "Concubine Zhao is here!"
When everyone looked over, Zian found that many people had expressions of disdain, even contempt.
When I saw Sun Fang'er in the past, her dress was very simple, but today she was wearing a luxurious palace dress, embroidered with complicated and delicate patterns, her face was very fair, so white that there was almost no blood color, her facial features were beautiful, her eyebrows were slender, and her eyelashes were slender. Her nose is curved, her nose is neatly erect, and her lips are stained with lip gloss, which is indescribably light and attractive.
Even though I have seen Sun Fang'er several times, every time Zi'an is always shocked by her beauty, her beauty is like a fairy in the world, not stained with any dust, but she has fallen into this mundane world again, so she It looked out of place.
She walked up to the queen to pay her respects, her voice was indifferent and emotionless, "The concubine sees the empress."
"Sister, are you feeling better?" The queen looked at Sun Fang'er with pity, and sighed softly, "You really need to take good care of your health. Now that you are serving in front of the emperor, no matter big or small, you can't do without you. You have to take good care of yourself."
She has such a caring and considerate expression that no one can find any faults. She is clearly just a merchant's daughter, but she has the demeanor of a mother who loves the world.
Sun Fang'er bowed her head and lowered her eyebrows, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern."
Zi'an was standing beside the queen, so she naturally wanted to salute, she smiled slightly, "Concubine Zhao, Wan'an!"
Sun Fang'er raised her eyes slightly, looking at Zi'an, there seemed to be a trace of mockery in her eyes, but she immediately covered it up, with the same indifferent and gentle expression as before, "You're back!"
"Yes!" Zi'an sized her up. Although she had applied makeup on her face, she couldn't hide her pale complexion.
"I have a few words to ask you, can the concubine take a moment to speak?" Sun Fang'er asked.
Zian nodded, "Of course."
Zi'an walked aside with her, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw everyone staring at Sun Fang'er with resentment.
Just now I heard from the queen that Sun Fang'er served by the emperor's side, so why wouldn't people be jealous of this kind of "favoring the harem?" But, I am afraid that only Sun Fang'er will understand that it is not honor, but poison.
If it is said that everyone should be responsible for their own choices, then Sun Fang'er should also be the same.
If she didn't want to be involved in these right and wrong battles, she would definitely be able to live a good life when she left the capital, but she always wanted to prove something, and in the end, she could not choose from being able to choose.
Sun Fang'er twisted her handkerchief, almost biting her red lips, and then asked with a blushing face, "Rou Yao...what's wrong with her?"
Zi'an knew that she was asking about Rou Yao, but she thought she would ask after she turned around to say hello, but she couldn't wait to ask now, which shows that she also has a sister named Rou Yao in her heart.
"She's missing, life and death are uncertain!" Zi'an told the truth.
Sun Fang'er's face paled for a moment, and for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "You took her there, why didn't you bring her back safely? Aren't you very capable?"
Zi'an asked, "How did you know something happened to her?"
"I serve in front of the emperor, and you will report the news in Beimo every day by letter."
Zian knew that Lao Qi also reported back, but he didn't send letters every day. In other words, since the emperor left Beijing, he had been ordering people to secretly monitor them.
He learned everything about their situation in Beimo.
To say that the emperor has complete trust in Lao Qi in his heart is farting!
"Murong Jie didn't come back, did he go to find Rou Yao?" Sun Fang'er asked.
Zian was slightly surprised, "This matter..."
So, the emperor didn't know the reason for their return trip?
In other words, someone reported to him all their actions in Beimo, but no one reported what happened after they returned to Beijing. Could it be that the people from Beimo reported to him? Does the emperor have contact with people from Beimo?
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Sun Fang'er knew that she had said too much, so she said, "Forget it, I didn't ask, I didn't care about these things at all."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a person coming out from the corridor, shouting loudly: "The Empress Dowager invites all ladies, concubines, and concubines into the palace!"
Zian straightened his expression and was about to move his legs, when Sun Fang'er said softly: "Be careful with this empress dowager, she is not easy to deal with."
Zian didn't expect Sun Fang'er to remind her, and sighed in his heart, this Sun Fang'er is really elusive.
