Chapter 24 The beauty of heaven and country

Hearing this, the concubine Jing smiled and said: "The Queen has wronged me. What I look forward to most every day is to come and pay my respects to the Queen. How can I envy the Queen? The Queen said this just because she saw the newcomer.

My younger sisters stuffed their beautiful bodies one by one, are you tired of looking at my concubine’s old face?”

"What a fool you are!" The queen shook her head and said, "But you are right about one thing. The new sisters who entered the palace this time are indeed very charming. I like them very much."

An Bin, who was sitting third from the right, heard this and said with a smile: "The new sisters are all as tall as flowers, and they are still young and young, just like the flowers that have just bloomed in the imperial garden.

Not to mention you, the Queen, I also like it very much."

An Concubine Changqiao was the maid who was assigned by the then Empress, who is now the Empress Dowager, to guide the Emperor when he came of age. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he named her Concubine An.

Concubine An is two years older than the emperor, and is currently the oldest among all the concubines. She is nineteen years old this year.

Maybe it's because she doesn't pay attention to maintenance. If you look closely, you can see that there are faint fine lines in the corners of her eyes. She is wearing a blue dress and only has a plain gold hairpin on her head. She looks bigger than she actually is.

is slightly older.

Concubine An once gave birth to the eldest prince for the emperor. It is said that the eldest prince was smart and liked the emperor very much. Unfortunately, he died when he was about two years old.

After An Bin finished speaking, Lu Wanning and the others, who were originally the target of everyone's attention, suddenly attracted more attention.

The handkerchiefs in the hands of most of the concubines were already wrinkled, and the jealousy on the faces of the concubines who had poor control and easily exposed their emotions could not be concealed.

Concubine Jing glanced at Lu Wanning and the others, rolled her eyes, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister An Bin said that all the new sisters who entered the palace are like flowers, so what do you think of these flowers?

The ones that bloom the best?"

An Bin smiled and said: "Looking at what Concubine Jing said, since all of you sisters can be chosen by the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Empress, then naturally all of them are good!"

Concubine Jing snorted, dissatisfied with An Bin's answer, but she didn't hold on to An Bin anymore. Instead, she looked in the direction of Lu Wanning and said directly: "I heard that the imperial concubine's sister is beautiful and beautiful.

She was praised by the Queen Mother and also praised by the Queen Mother. For this reason, the Emperor specially named her a beauty of the sixth grade."

"The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have always had good taste, and they all praised her like this. I guess Lu Meiren is the most beautiful flower among the sisters who entered the palace this time, right? Who is the imperial concubine's sister, Lu Meiren, too?

Stand up and let us all see what kind of beautiful face you are like?"

From the moment Concubine Jing's eyes fell on him, Lu Wanning knew that he probably wouldn't be able to escape. Concubine Jing had never dealt with the concubine since she entered the palace.

Both of them were daughters of generals and were equally favored by the emperor. The imperial concubine came to the emperor a few years earlier than the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine gave birth to an older princess than the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine was one level higher than the imperial concubine.

After all these years of fighting, Concubine Jing is still slightly defeated.

Now that he is the cousin of the imperial concubine, he has obviously been angered by the imperial concubine. This incident by the imperial concubine Jing will bring a lot of hatred to him.

However, Lu Wanning had expected this all year round. She did not panic, stood up and saluted Concubine Jing, "My concubine, Lu Wanning, has met Concubine Jing."

Concubine Jing looked Lu Wanning up and down, twitched her lips and said, "She is really beautiful from heaven, no wonder she is praised by the Queen Mother and the Empress."

Lu Wanning said respectfully: "Jing Fei is too praised. Only a person as graceful and noble as the Queen, with both virtue and appearance can be worthy of such words as the beauty of the country. My concubine is only a bit beautiful. I feel ashamed to be praised like this by Jing Fei."

Don’t dare to take it seriously.”

If the queen's appearance was average, then Lu Wan Ning would never dare to say that. If she really did, it would be flattering, not praising the queen, but mocking the queen. But the queen is also very beautiful.

So there is no problem at all when Lu Wanning says this.

Concubine Jing paused for a moment, and looked at Lu Wanning with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that the imperial concubine's cousin was as difficult to deal with as the imperial concubine. She had said so, could he still refute that she was wrong? In fact, the empress was not

A person who is graceful and noble, with both virtue and appearance is not worthy of such words as heavenly beauty and national beauty. Or can I say that she is more beautiful than the empress? I can't.

"You are quite eloquent." Concubine Jing said calmly and gave up for the time being to continue to embarrass Lu Wanning.

The queen watched a play and then put down the tea cup in her hand and said to Lu Wanning: "Go back and sit down quickly."

Lu Wanning responded and sat back.

The queen asked again: "Have you ever visited the imperial concubine after entering the palace?"

Lu Wanning said: "I haven't said anything back to the Queen."

The queen nodded and said, "You are the imperial concubine's sister. When you have time, go and talk to the imperial concubine."

Lu Wanning responded: "Yes, Queen, I have remembered it."

After that, the queen gave some lectures to the newcomers, saying things like serving the emperor well and striving to give birth to a prince as soon as possible. Then she said she was tired and let everyone leave.

Although Lu Wanning had blocked Concubine Jing's words just now, Concubine Jing's words still attracted a lot of jealous eyes to her. However, Lu Wanning didn't care very much. She had outstanding appearance, even in this harem.

She was very outstanding. Even if it hadn't been for what Concubine Jing said just now, her face alone would have attracted a lot of jealous looks.

After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning stood there, trying her best to ignore the various looks that fell on her. When the high-ranking concubines were almost gone, she took Qingzhi all the way to Zhaoyang Palace.

When Lu Wanning arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial concubine was stretching out her slender white hands to ask the eldest palace maid Chi Su to apply koudan on her nails while listening to Hong Jian telling her about what happened in Fengyi Palace during today's greetings.

When she heard Lu Wanning coming, the expression on her face did not change, and she did not let Chi Su stop what she was doing. She just said: "Invite people in."

"Yes, your Majesty." The little palace maid who came in to report responded and went out to invite Lu Wanning in.

After Lu Wanning came in, she bowed to the imperial concubine first, "I have met the imperial concubine."

When the imperial concubine asked her to sit down, she sat down on the chair beside her with some restraint.

"Originally, my sister wanted to come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother yesterday, but considering that she has not yet paid her respects to the Queen Mother, she can only wait until today to pay her respects to the Queen Mother before coming to visit the Queen Mother. I hope the Queen Mother will not be offended."
