Chapter 9 Concubine An looks like a person

"Okay, then let's go back," An Mengjie rubbed a few more times and followed Momo towards Qingxinyuan.

In 258 BC, King Zhao bribed Fan Sui to alienate the prime minister of Qin, which made King Qin suspicious.

In 257, the prime minister of Qin hanged himself, and the entire Qin government died unexpectedly. King Zhao met a beautiful woman on his march.

In the same year, King Zhao led his army to fight against Qin and won a great victory!

King Zhao was very happy and made the beauty his concubine An, and gave the daughter of the beauty's brother the title of princess.

When Concubine An arrived at Zhao Palace, she stayed in the side hall and went out for everything. Her biggest wish was to take good care of Meng Jie. She didn't care at all about Zhao Guo's celebrations, including the interactions between the concubines. However, today Early in the morning, the king sent someone to deliver two pairs of clothes, saying that the queen mother wanted to see them.

An Ning didn't expect that the Queen Mother would summon them one day. She had lived in the mansion for several years and had never encountered such a thing. So with the help of the maid, she changed into clothes, and An Ning also changed into one for An Mengjie.

The green gold silk embroidered robe, paired with the white colorful embroidered pleated skirt, looks extremely fresh and elegant when worn. The headdress is also very beautiful, with green nephrite on it. The maid tied An Ning's long hair into a bun. Beautiful bun, pinned with a hairpin.

An Ning finished dressing, took Meng Jie with her, and followed the maid out of the side hall. The sunlight cast a faint halo on her slender figure, her clothes were flying, and her whole body was like a flower waiting to bloom in the morning light. Jiu Gui, her soft and beautiful grace makes her unlike anyone else in the world.

Concubine An followed the maid to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, where it was very lively.

Looking from a distance, the beauties and attendants in various costumes are like moving flowers. A piece of splendid skirt, various colors, various embroidery patterns, is like a newly unfolded picture scroll, revealing The fresh and fragrant smell is overwhelming, and it is magnificent, like the gorgeous rosy clouds filling the sky in the summer evening.

Accompanied by the maid, An Ning quickly took her seat. After a while, King Zhao walked over with the Queen Mother, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids.

An Ning raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother Zhao. She had regular features and a beautiful face. She should have been a beauty that stunned everyone when she was young. But time is not forgiving. As time goes by, some fine lines have appeared on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. Pattern.

Next to her, there was King Zhao. He sat down with the Queen Mother, leaning lazily on the chair, wearing a large robe made of Qushui brocade, with dark and deep eyes, phoenix eyes and starry eyes. With a single swipe, the whole person exuded a kingly aura that shocked the world.

"You are Concubine An." In the room, the Queen Mother, sitting on the imperial concubine chair in the middle, was wearing an orange silk gown with a pattern of five blessings and longevity, a full set of forehead ornaments of the same color on her forehead, and an amethyst imperial phoenix hairpin inserted in the back. Her skin was coated with a light layer of rouge.

"Meet the Queen Mother," An Ning quickly took An Mengjie down from her seat and bowed down on the cushion placed in the middle.

At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a lotus color long-sleeved round-neck silk dress with gold hairpins in her hair smiled, took the initiative to come over, helped An Ning and An Mengjie up, and looked her up and down. , smiled and said: "Queen Mother, look, this girl is so good-looking!" After saying that, he glanced at An Mengjie who was standing aside, "I really want to congratulate the Queen Mother on the addition of another beautiful princess."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. She slowly looked at An Mengjie and said: "This is the little princess that Your Majesty mentioned. She is indeed good-looking. Come here quickly and let the Ai family take a closer look.

Take a look."

The corners of An Ning's eyes twitched, but a submissive smile appeared on her face. She gently held An Mengjie in her arms and walked past Aunt Luo who had just helped her. She walked up to the Queen Mother in a dignified manner and said, "The Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother stretched out a well-maintained white and tender hand and touched An Mengjie's little face: "The little guy is very lucky, no wonder Your Majesty likes it!"

An Ning's face turned slightly red, and her hands holding An Mengjie were trembling.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, frowned and said, "You kid, why are you wearing such thin clothes and freezing like this?" She waved her hand and said, "Bring over the crane cloak from the Ai family."

"Me," An Ning declined and was about to refuse.

The Queen Mother glanced at the maid behind her and said coldly: "These two little girls around me really don't know how to take care of people. Zi Yan, from now on you will follow Concubine An and take good care of her."

A graceful girl with willow-leaf eyebrows and red phoenix eyes came out of the queue and bowed respectfully to Concubine An.

"Your Majesty, you see that Concubine An has a gentle personality and doesn't have anyone who can help her. Now I'm going to make up for it first, and I'll ask Aunt Luo to send it to her when there's a good one in the future." The Queen Mother said like this, looking like a loving mother.

In front of everyone, she even personally put on the crane cloak for An Ning.

The crane cloak is light and warm. The red silk cover is embroidered with peony patterns with gold thread, and the edges are outlined with gold thread to outline cloud patterns. The ermine lining inside is all made of mink fur, making it look very warm.

An Ning's face flushed slightly and she said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

An Mengjie knew that not only the Queen Mother was watching at this moment, but also the concubines and maids on the side were watching, watching the butterflies fall from the dishes, not to mention that the palace had been a place of right and wrong since ancient times, and overt and covert fights between each other were inevitable.

.For newcomers to be peaceful, establishing a firm foothold is the most important thing.

Sporadic laughter came from where the women were sitting.

King Zhao glanced at An Ning with some pity: "Stop bowing, such a young child doesn't know any etiquette."

"You have to learn the rules in the palace!" The queen mother's face turned cold.

"Sister Lu..." A person next to her tried to smooth things over. She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at An Ning's appearance. She turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Look, does this Concubine An look like the same person? I still remember Yun'er's face."

Eyes are also born like this."

That person was wearing a large peony flower, emerald green smoke gauze and Bixia Luo, with inlaid pearls and jaspers on the side. This kind of dress was unique in this room, and her noble status was self-evident. Sure enough, the person beside the Queen Mother

People also followed suit and advised: "What Concubine Yao said is very true, it's really similar."

The Queen Mother's eyes were red: "Sister Yao, I was thinking of that girl Yun'er, but she was so unlucky and so young... If I let go now, I would be... abandoning the prince..."

King Zhao's face darkened and he sat there silently for a while.

Someone nearby advised: "Isn't the Prince protected by His Majesty the Queen Mother? Don't be sad, Queen Mother. Not to mention the person in front of you, even Your Majesty will be uneasy."

"No..." The Queen Mother coughed lightly and smiled: "I think this child looks very cute. The weather is good today and the Ai family is happy, so why not give him something?"

The Queen Mother waved to her and said, "Come here."

An Ning walked over, and the Queen Mother smiled at Her Majesty: "She has been here for several years and has suffered a lot of grievances. Shall I give this to her?"

The person next to me recognized him, and after a while he brought out a valuable carved box. When he opened it, he saw that there were many precious jewelry inside.

An Ning was very surprised. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who obviously didn't like her, would send so many things. She felt like she was walking on thin ice.

In An Mengjie's heart, she was full of gratitude to the Queen Mother at this moment. She had caused An Ning to miss her great years and wasted her youth. Now, by doing this, the Queen Mother was obviously telling everyone and acknowledging An Ning's status.

Concubine Yao reluctantly took An Mengjie over and said, "Well, let's take a look at this child. It's the first time I've seen him grow so big." She then took off a bracelet from her wrist: "Although the bracelet is small, it is precious. , this is a reward from the late emperor."

An Mengjie looked at it - the mutton-fat white bracelet that the late emperor rewarded was valuable.

Why do these people always like to give jewelry? Is it okay to give something else? She ran outside and was hit by the fragrance that filled the room. She almost vomited.

Suddenly someone behind me said: "Is this Princess Xiao Meng'er?"

An Mengjie turned her head, and there was a little girl looking at her with a smile. She was very delicate, about eight or nine years old, with her hair combed and wearing pink clothes.

Someone nearby told An Ning: "This is Princess Zhao's family."

Ge grabbed Mengjie's hand and said, "She's so cute. Call me sister."

The Queen Mother smiled and waved her over: "Li'er, why are you here? Where is your father?"
