Lin Wanwan turned around and saw that on the stone path, a eunuch was holding a lamp in front, a maid was holding an umbrella on the side, and a woman in a gorgeous dress was walking elegantly surrounded by three or four maids and eunuchs. , through the alternating light and dark lights, the woman's appearance and demeanor can be vaguely seen.
She is about in her early twenties, wearing a palace dress with begonia brocade and colorful embroidery, and a cape trimmed with light vine and white fox. As she moves, the golden phoenix tail inserted diagonally in her bun swings with her steps. She is surrounded by a dazzling array of pearls and emeralds.珰. The whole person is like a delicate flower blooming in spring, which makes people sigh secretly. Liu Yaotao is so enchanting and Pingting is graceful and charming.
When Yun Chun saw the person coming, her palms trembled slightly, she quickly gathered up the brocade handkerchief, lowered her voice and reminded in Lin Wanwan's ear: "Girl, this is Concubine Hua, you need to be more careful with what you say later."
Seeing that Yun Chun's face turned a little pale, Lin Wanwan knew in her heart that this noble concubine was probably a difficult person to deal with.
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, then lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. She and Yun Chun knelt down and saluted, "Lin Yuewan, a commoner girl, has met the noble concubine."
Hua Qiong walked up to Lin Wanwan, looked at her for a moment, and then lazily said: "Get up."
After Lin Wanwan and Yun Chun thanked them, they straightened up but did not raise their heads. Instead, they looked downcast.
"Are you the woman that the Queen Mother summoned into the palace today?" Hua Qiong closed the gilt copper heater in her hand, her tone was calm and casual, making it difficult for people to understand why.
Lin Wanwan nodded and said yes.
Hua Qiong half-eyed her, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes, "Raise your head and let me take a look."
Lin Wanwan obeyed and slowly raised her head, and Hua Qiong's delicate oval face came into her eyes.
The moth-like eyebrows are covered with a thin layer of pink and white, the nose and lips are as bright as peony to welcome the spring, and the young are like begonias soaking in the rain. They are as beautiful as they are charming. A pair of phoenix eyes are naturally charming, but their eyes are a bit fierce, and there is power in the charm, making people unable to look away because of her appearance.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this gorgeous concubine was truly a beauty that would conquer the entire country. It was no wonder that Emperor Dehui favored her.
But the moment Lin Wanwan raised her eyes, Hua Qiong's eyes froze slightly.
Three or two snowflakes fell between Lin Wanwan's brows, making her body of ice and jade bones reflect the snow. Her dark hair was crow-green, her red lips were dotted with crimson, and her porcelain skin was as pure as the snow. Reflecting half of the snow-colored pure beauty, she was like Lu Li was half-lit with a lamp, and every stroke of color that fell on her body turned into a stunning color, flowing and condensing in the cold snowy night, and the light was discerning.
The flawless and startling face is as bright as an immortal in the clouds, and as slender as a demon under the moon. Its image is unparalleled and its beauty is endless; the five colors coexist and cannot be lost. Not only does she live in the Qiong Palace outside the Heavenly Palace, but she also dances like a human being without being stained by dust.
For a moment, Hua Qiong felt a little dazed, and couldn't help but recall that person in the old days. Back then, that person was also so demon-like, eye-catching, and dazzling.
A strange color flashed in Hua Qiong's eyes, and then she curled her lips and said, "You are indeed quite pretty. No wonder Prince Rillu and Yanzhi were jealous of you that day."
There was a hint of disdain on her slightly raised lips, and the sarcasm was palpable.
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she slightly lowered her head and replied calmly: "I may have misunderstood, Prince Lu and Mr. Hua are both outstanding young talents, and common people's daughters are no more than the beauty of a willow, so how can they be so virtuous?" The two of you had a dispute over the girls of the people? It was just a misunderstanding that day, Mr. Hua is also a man of great virtue, so he did not argue with the girls of the people."
Lin Wanwan's words made Hua Qiong a little speechless. She used "a misunderstanding" to briefly describe the cause and effect of the matter, but it was impossible to refute. She entered the palace on the order of the Queen Mother. If she continued to hold on to this matter, it would not only be a public disgrace to the Queen Mother, but also disrespectful to the Queen Mother. It would also appear that the Hua family was arrogant and arrogant. Furthermore, she knew very well what kind of virtue her incompetent brother had. If she really pursued it, I'm afraid it wouldn't make sense, and would instead involve more of the bastard things he had done before. This girl chose to pass it off, which not only saved the face of the Hua family but also gave herself a chance to step down. She is a smart person. However, the words "a gentleman carries his virtues" were originally meant to promote praise, but when applied to Yanzhi, they were more like insinuations, but he couldn't deny it.
She has sharp teeth and looks soft and submissive, but there is no trace of humility in her, but she is somewhat similar to that person.
Hua Qiongfeng's eyes were slightly narrowed, and her eyes were so deep that it was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger.
She stared at her for a moment, then lightly opened her sandalwood lips: "The Queen Mother specially arranged for you to come here to enjoy the plum blossoms. It's really a pity that no matter how beautiful the plum blossoms bloom, I will be the only one with you in the imperial garden tonight." Rewards, please don’t feel lonely.”
Lin Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her guess was not wrong. Ever since she knew that the Queen Mother had planted "Bai Mei Sheng" in the flower stamens, she had guessed that the Queen Mother might still have some backup plans. When she saw Hua Qiong At that moment, it suddenly dawned on her heart that the Queen Mother had never planned to let her go from the beginning.
It was true that the Queen Mother wanted to send her to Emperor Dehui's dragon bed, but there was also a dictatorial Concubine Hua in the harem. There were always intrigues and intrigues in the palace, and there were many spies. If Concubine Hua got wind of it, she would do everything possible to mess up the matter. The purpose of the Empress Dowager adding the love potion to the flower stamens was, on the one hand, to allow her to have sex with Emperor Dehui, and on the other hand, even if Emperor Dehui was held back by Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua would definitely send some troops to stabilize her position. People come to warn and threaten her, and when they see her with the charm drug in her body, even if she has a hundred mouths, she will not be able to argue. She had already offended the Hua family because of Hua Yanzhi's incident. Naturally, Concubine Hua would not let her go. She would definitely punish her for being a prostitute in the harem, and then execute her in accordance with the law, so that the Queen Mother could live without blood on her hands. If someone borrows a knife to kill someone, even if Luo Huaizhou asks, he can still kill him cleanly.
What made her a little confused was that the dose of "Bai Mei Sheng" was not too heavy. Otherwise, how could there be no difference if Yun Chun was so close just now? Could it be that the Queen Mother was afraid of causing unintended consequences, so she reduced the dose? Dosage? But in this case, how can we ensure that she can get this charm medicine?
However, it can be heard from the tone of Concubine Hua that she and the Queen Mother do not seem to be at odds with each other. It was once said that the current Queen is the niece of the Queen Mother, but she is not favored, while Concubine Hua is favored firmly and the Hua family is deeply loved. Because of Emperor Dehui's favor and trust, she already covered the sky with one hand in Nanling. The Queen Mother might have hated Concubine Hua and the Hua family to the bone. The Queen Mother dedicated herself to Emperor Dehui, probably so that she could compete with Concubine Hua for favor and consolidate her power in the middle palace.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Wanwan's lips, and she replied: "The imperial concubine is shining brightly in all directions. With you in the imperial garden, the whole garden is full of glory, how can it be deserted? Being able to enjoy the plum blossoms with the imperial concubine is really a blessing to the people." A woman’s blessing.”
Her tone was calm and calm, and Hua Qiong did not catch any unpleasant emotion in it.
Hua Qiong glanced at her lightly and thought to herself that this girl was not only smart but also very knowledgeable. If she really let the Queen Mother send her to the Emperor, her position would be in jeopardy.
"You guys just wait here while I take her to the Merlin."
Hua Qiong handed the gilded copper heater to the palace attendant beside him. After giving instructions, he walked towards the depths of the plum forest.
Yun Chun felt anxious and was about to follow Lin Wanwan, but was stopped in place by Hua Qiong's glance back.
Yun Chun looked at Lin Wanwan worriedly, but saw her giving him an indifferent smile, as if to tell her not to worry.
Seeing this, Yun Chun had to give up and silently clenched her fingers.
