Kunning Palace
It was already autumn, and the Empress, who had always valued the fragrance of flowers and fruits, ordered some rare flowers to be placed up and down the Kunning Palace, including large golden peonies, foxtail lilies that bloomed with water, and roses that were bright red and colorful...
When An Lingrong came, the concubines were waiting for the queen in the main hall of Kunning Palace, smelling the intoxicating faint fragrance of flowers.
The queen has always arranged carefully to place flowers of various colors behind the table beside each concubine. The faint fragrance makes the nerves relax the most. Regardless of the past and present, every time he comes to greet him, An Lingrong always feels that he has entered the Hundred Flowers Palace. There are several fairies sitting in the palace who are elegant or bright or noble or pure.
Concubine De sat upright, her posture was elegant, and she spoke softly with Concubine Hui who came earlier, while Concubine Li, who was on the side, interjected and mocked a few words from time to time, Concubine Xiang was silent and quiet like an invisible person, while others such as Xia Dongchun, who were not enough, were talking in small words.
"Concubine De, Concubine Li, Concubine Hui, Concubine Xiang, and Concubine Shen are courteous."
As soon as An Lingrong entered the door of the hall, everyone in the hall looked at her quietly for several times, and she felt that she had already treated her calmly by being noticed by everyone. Concubine Hui, Concubine Shen, and Concubine Xiang sat down calmly after a half-ceremony.
"Polite"
Concubine De's eyes were comforted. Today, she rarely wore plain crescent white clothes, and her temperament was so elegant that people's eyes lit up. She asked An Lingrong:
"Last night, there was a lot of rain and thunder. I'm not afraid when I'm old. On the contrary, it was the third brother who was so noisy that he couldn't sleep that broke my heart. The Jade Concubine has always been weak, so don't be afraid."
Concubine Hui, who was also worried, also comforted:
"This palace knows that you have always been weak and petite, sister Yu Concubine. It is going to rain in the early autumn evening these days. If you are really afraid, this palace will go to your Pear Snow Palace to accompany your sister with a shy face."
Xia Dongchun spoke:
"Concubine Hui is going to Rong'er's Pear Snow Palace, don't forget your sister."
Then, An Lingrong realized the benefits of quenching jade for the first time, and ironically received most of the unfamiliar concubines' concerns. Knowing that these concerns were not because of her personal charm, she enjoyed it very much. It turned out that it was a very happy thing to be cared about, and she showed a beautiful smile that was truly moved:
"Thank you for your concern, sisters and sisters. I never expected to be so comforted by my sisters and sisters one day. Sisters and sisters should rest assured. Although there is thunder at night, I can still sleep."
Everyone in the harem knew that the Jade Concubine was an understanding master. Similarly, the Jade Concubine was a beautiful woman who spoke sincerely. If she said yes, she must be. At least no one in the harem particularly hated her and was willing to believe her.
Concubine De put her worries back in her heart, held the delicate pink rose flowers in full bloom on the corners of her bun hair, and touched the delicate petals:
"It's good that the Jade Concubine is fine. I can't believe that the Jade Concubine has always been soft and weak and is not afraid of thunder."
Concubine Li covered her mouth and sneered:
"Thunder is a warning from the Lord of Heaven to the wicked. The Jade Concubine has always been understanding, how can she be afraid."
Concubine De's face turned black. In the past, she was unable to be favored because of her youth and color, and she was very embarrassed in the position of concubine. Even if Concubine Li, who was attached to Concubine Xianghua, stabbed a few words, she would not fight back, but now it is different. When the third brother grew up, there was only this adult man under the emperor's knees, and she was ranked first among the fourth concubines. Concubine Qu was naturally not afraid of Concubine Li and said:
"Concubine Li is really right, doesn't the lord love to use that thunder to fight the wicked today? Concubine Hui said that in the fall of these days, it is mostly thunderstorms. Concubine Li should not be afraid at night, there is this palace and all the sisters to accompany you!"
