Chapter 315 New Noble
Lin Junxue asked, "What's the background of this Zhou Wanqing?"
Qiao Xin said, "I have already learned about this. This Zhou Wanqing is the daughter of Zhou Fa, the Jiangnan textile manufacturer. I heard that she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented woman in Lin'an. She has an outstanding appearance. She also helps the poor people and gives them porridge on a daily basis. In Lin'an, she is not only a talented woman, but also a kind person. Among the people, she is well regarded."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly. She hadn't met the person yet, so she didn't comment.
As for what kind of person this is?
Wait a minute, according to the rules, Zhou Wanqing was conferred the title of noble lady, so she should come to pay her respects to the queen. You will know after you meet her.
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, last night, the Emperor was drunk. When he was in the garden, he met Zhou Wanqing who was playing the piano. The Emperor was attracted by her piano music and took her back. This morning, he made her a noble and gave her many good things."
Danzhen looked worried
The Emperor and the Empress have been at odds for nearly a month, and now, Zhou Wanqing, the daughter of the Jiangnan Weaving Master, has shown up out of nowhere.
However, after serving the emperor once, she was conferred the title of noble lady, which shows that the emperor was still satisfied with Zhou Wanqing.
Guyu said, "My queen, how about..."
Obviously, without Guyu's next words, Lin Junxue also knew what the three of them meant. They wanted her and Xie Yu to give in.
Lin Junxue curled her lips and continued to pick up the chopsticks to eat her breakfast.
When Guyu and the other two saw this, they understood what Lin Junxue meant and said no more.
When the concubines came to pay their respects and chatted, they couldn't help but mention Zhou Wanqing, the newly-appointed noble lady, and naturally looked down on her in their words.
This kind of chance encounter in the garden has been used by countless women in the harem.
The women in the harem use all sorts of tricks to win favor, and no one would believe Zhou Wanqing if she said she did it unintentionally.
Lin Junxue was sitting in the main seat and listening. Everyone knew that this was a carefully planned encounter, so how could Xie Yu not know?
From this perspective, Zhou Wanqing's methods were not very clever, and it could even be said that she had lost the demeanor of a noble lady.
Chen Mi returned to his previous indifferent appearance, and did not speak, but just listened quietly.
Zheng Jin had just been favored for a few days when Zhou Wanqing suddenly appeared. He was very upset and looked unhappy.
Just now, Sun Manrou deliberately said something sarcastic to her to embarrass her.
Saying that she sang and danced in public that night was not presentable.
At this moment, Danzhen came in
"Your Majesty, the evening noble is waiting outside to pay his respects to you."
As soon as this word comes out
The concubines who were chatting just now looked at each other and stopped talking.
Today, Zhou Wanqing will come to pay her respects according to the rules. This is something everyone knows, and they are all waiting here.
Lin Junxue said calmly, "Let the noble lady come in."
Danzhen agreed, and soon Zhou Wanqing walked in.
Everyone looked over and saw that Zhou Wanqing was wearing a turquoise long skirt with a snow-white beaded ribbon tied around her waist, looking fresh and elegant.
There were no expensive or complicated hair accessories on her head, but a royal blue peacock hairpin was inserted in her hair.
It was obvious that the workmanship was from the palace, and it was clearly a reward from Xie Yu this morning.
Zhou Wanqing has a gentle appearance and her every move is graceful and elegant, like a Jiangnan woman.
She stepped forward, bowed her head, knelt, and saluted
"I pay my respects to the Queen, and to all the ladies."
Then she raised her head. Her appearance was indeed outstanding, but she was not a peerless beauty. She could only be said to have a superior appearance.
Lin Junxue said softly, "Get up, my dear."
Zhou Wanqing stood up and looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting in a high seat. She paused slightly, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Everyone said that the queen's beauty was the most beautiful in the world and she was stunningly beautiful, but I thought the rumors were exaggerated.
Seeing her today, she knew what he said was true.
Zhou Wanqing's eyes were open and frank, and Lin Junxue became somewhat interested.
Playing the piano in the garden at midnight to attract Xie Yu, using this method, he became a nobleman
But today, I saw that this person's eyes were extremely clear, and they couldn't be deceived.
However, this behavior is really inconsistent with me, which is a bit interesting.
Lin Junxue retracted her gaze and asked Guyu to give Zhou Wanqing the reward she had prepared long ago.
Zhou Wanqing kneels down to thank
Everyone looked at Zhou Wanqing, and Zhou Wanqing calmly walked to her seat and sat down.
Sun Manrou said, "Last night, the noble lady was playing the piano in the garden. She was so leisurely and carefree. She happened to be seen by the emperor. She is so lucky."
At this moment, Sun Manrou wouldn't be herself if she didn't make a few sarcastic remarks.
There were already many women in the harem, and now Zhou Wanqing was named a noble lady.
The emperor has been thinking about Zhou Wanqing recently.
Zheng Jin saw Sun Manrou speak and finally got his chance.
"What the Empress Chen said is true. I think our Wan Guiren's piano skills must be superb, otherwise how could she attract the emperor?"
Zhou Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, and said softly, "Empress Chen, last night, I was just bored, so I went to the garden to play the piano, and I didn't run into the emperor passing by. I am grateful for the emperor's favor."
Then, Zhou Wanqing looked at Zheng Jin again.
"As for my piano skills, they are not worthy of being performed in a high-class venue. Naturally, they cannot compare to Jin Ronghua's dance and song a few days ago."
Zheng Jin's face froze
Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen looked at each other. This late noble lady was quite interesting.
He choked back the words of the Concubine Chen without being humble or arrogant, and made Jin Ronghua suffer a loss. It seems that he is a powerful character.
Chen Mi looked at Zhou Wanqing unexpectedly
Lin Junxue said, "Okay, from now on, you will serve the emperor, everyone just get along well. If there is nothing else, please leave."
The concubines stood up, paid their respects and left. Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen did not leave, but stayed.
榻上
Zhang Yuyan said, "Your Majesty, this noble lady, no matter how I look at her, I don't think she is someone who would do something like what she did last night."
Li Shiwen also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that this noble lady is not someone who can seduce the emperor with such low-end means."
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, her eyes deepening.
Even Shiwen and Yuyan had noticed it, so it seemed that this late noble lady had a lot of secrets hidden in her.
Li Shiwen hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it has been almost a month since you and the Emperor met. Now, the Emperor has conferred the title of Lady Wan on this concubine. I am afraid that this Lady Wan will be favored for a while. You have been in such a stalemate with the Emperor. When will it end? You must not let anyone take advantage of you."
Lin Junxue looked at the two people in front of her who were worried, knowing that they were kind-hearted.
"I know you two are doing this for my own good. Don't worry. I know what's going on. Okay, have some cakes."
the other side
Zhou Wanqing had just returned to the courtyard when Gao Chengji came to convey his order for her to serve Mo.
Zhou Wanqing looked at Gao Cheng with a cold expression, and she didn't seem very happy. Then, she followed Gao Cheng to Xie Yu's study.
In the study
Zhou Wanqing was grinding ink. Xie Yu put down his pen, looked at her, and said casually, "You went to pay your respects to the Queen today. Did the Queen say anything?"
