Under the leadership of Aunt Na, Lisha walked through the corridor, crossed the flowers and arrived at the imperial garden. There were already some family members waiting in Nali, hoping to make a good impression on the Queen.
Lisha had seen the dignified and general concubine De, the gentle and virtuous concubine Chen, the bitter concubine Liang and some concubines.
It was the first time for the queen to meet her.
Queen, it is said that she fought with the current emperor. In those days, gold and iron horses, that was something that a woman would not give up to a man. However, it is said that even so, he still did not win the emperor's heart. And the queen was just a concubine at that time, and now she has long been the mother of the world. If I recall the past, I am afraid that I will not feel very happy.
However, her son was canonized as the crown prince. Since then, the Helan family has become a powerful family in the imperial capital, with power pouring into the government and the public. Empress Helan's elder brother, Nalanhe, was the prime minister, and Helanji's son, Helancheng, served as a bodyguard with a knife in front of the imperial palace, and commanded the imperial guards in the palace.
Lisha really wanted to get acquainted with this Empress Wu. Although she didn't win the emperor's heart, she commanded thousands of troops and swallowed mountains and rivers with arrogance. Li Sha felt admiration in her heart, what she wanted to be was such a woman, not for the favor of the emperor, but for the wish of her heart.
"The empress is here!"
The eunuch's soft voice interrupted Lisha's thoughts. Lisha looked at the entrance, and sure enough, she saw a middle-aged woman walking in with a crowd of thousands of people. I think it's Empress Helan.
Empress Helan wore a red pomegranate dress inlaid with gold and embroidered with hundreds of flowers, with wide sleeves hanging down to the ground, and a phoenix about to fly was shown on the two sides of the skirt, embroidered with several auspicious clouds. Inside is a dark red cinnabar long skirt with a corset and a belt of the same color. On the arm is a golden sand silk drape, embellished with silver threads, which can be seen faintly under the scorching sun. Wearing the nine phoenix golden step that symbolizes the queen. With a calm expression on his face. Nobility is everywhere. The queen is indeed extraordinary. Behind the lower left of the queen is the concubine De in an embroidered plum dress. On the right is Concubine Chen, who is dressed in a golden dress and has a simple bun.
However, the concubine Liang who has always been flamboyant is not seen.
"Concubine, my daughter-in-law pays homage to Empress Empress, Empress Defei, Empress Concubine Chen, empress is a thousand years old!"
The queen nodded in satisfaction, passed the kneeling female relatives, was sitting on the high seat, glanced disdainfully at the people kneeling on the ground, and said, "Ping Sheng, I invite you to a banquet today. You are all my courtiers." My family, at that time, there was no need to be polite."
Although the queen said so, how many people would really be so rude. Risha is funny, she obviously wants to tell others that she is superior to others, but in this way, does it mean that the older you are, the more vain you are.
Or tell Concubine De and Concubine Chen that the position of empress or even the position of prince is not something they can covet?
The queen sits in the center, with Concubine De on the right and Concubine Chen on the left. Concubine Chen's status in the palace was always inferior to that of Concubine De. Not only does it mean that Concubine De is the head of the four concubines, but her son, the third prince, King Zhaoyou, is in control of the power even though he is stationed far away in the frontier.
Even the queen would not dare to underestimate it.
"Let me guess which of you is Concubine De and Concubine Chen who is smart and beautiful like a fairy Lisha?"
The queen inspected the crowd. When the gaze fell on Li Sha, she could only see the light smoke-colored flowing dress stretching a bit, the crescent white skirt with a breast lift, a knot at the waist, and the corners of the skirt falling straight down, draped in silk of the same color. Concise and yet, her identity looks like an elegant fairy in an ink painting. Looking at the little face, the queen suddenly stopped looking.
"you you¡¡!"
The queen snapped suddenly and shattered the teacup beside her.
Attracted Concubine De and Concubine Chen's puzzled gazes. It was strange why the always calm queen was so panicked. Concubine Chen caressed the Queen's hand and was shocked, it was so cold.
Following the eyes of the queen, everyone noticed that there was a beautiful woman standing beside them, and they were all surprised.
But seeing the empress lose her composure so much, I don't understand why.
After all, the queen fought with the emperor in the first half of her life. What kind of storms and waves have you never seen? How can he be so panicked when facing a woman, although this woman is indeed beautiful, it is not heard that the former noble concubine Meifei and Diji are even more beautiful. If it weren't for this piece of glass yarn, it would be even better.
"My daughter-in-law Duan Lisha kowtowed to the empress! The empress is a thousand years old!"
Duan Lisha has always been aware of etiquette, the only point is related to her background. Growing up in the family of famous generals and ministers since childhood, he has been warned by strict teachers since he was a child. And Lisa is well aware of the truth.
"she is Duan Lisha!"
The queen turned her head suddenly, her tone was sharp, Concubine Chen replied softly, "Yes, empress, she is the granddaughter of Lord Duan, Lisha!" Looking at Concubine De, she said, "Sister De Concubine has seen her too!"
"Yes, empress, I have seen the concubine and the concubine Liang a few days ago, herShe is indeed Duan Houye's granddaughter, her identity is true! Concubine De took a few steps forward to support the queen, she was also surprised why the queen was so surprised.
Both Concubine De and Concubine Chen thought that the Empress did not believe that the woman in front of her was Duan Lisha, so they explained one after another.
The queen looked left and right at Concubine De and Concubine Chen, and then fixedly at Lisha.
"She is Duan Lisha? The granddaughter of Lord Duan?" The queen still couldn't believe it, because she looked too similar, even if she was reduced to ashes, she, He Lanwei, could still remember what that woman looked like .
"Sister, she is indeed Duan Lisha. Sisters, there is no way to hide your gift. Whether she is Duan Lisha's concubine or concubine De knows, and the crown prince has seen her, it is true! "
The queen frowned deeply, looking at Lisha repeatedly. Although Lisha was strange, she couldn't make a sound, so she could only let the queen scrutinize her.
The queen kept looking at it like that, Concubine Chen and Concubine De both felt that this was inappropriate, and said softly, "Your Majesty!"
Only then did He Lanwei calm down. In fact, she also understands that the deceased is gone, and she will not be the same person back then.
After all, she was the one who killed her back then.
Forget it, she, Helan, is really afraid of a girl's family.
"Get up!"
Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Empress Empress!"
Li Sha closed her eyes, her eyes were deep. The queen's behavior made her very strange. Could it be that she really looks like someone imagined? Then why are the Concubine De and Concubine Chen who are in the palace, and the concubine Liang who appeared today, are not as good as the Queen? As for the expression, does the queen have any secrets?
The queen sat down again, brushed off her sleeves, and her face softened.
"Okay, there is nothing special about my palace's banquet today. It is just to clean up the dust for everyone on behalf of the emperor. There is no need for so many red tapes. You can tell me some new things outside the palace! I haven't left the palace for more than ten years, and I have long forgotten what it looks like outside the palace!" The queen's words made Concubine De and Concubine Chen feel sad.
Once entering the palace, they are as deep as the sea. They are nothing more than concubines. Although they bear children for the emperor, the rules of the palace are the rules of the palace.
How could he break the palace rules for a woman? Although the high-walled red courtyard is magnificent and splendid, with rich clothes and fine food, it always lacks aura and freedom of ordinary people's homes.
"That's right, my sister hasn't been out of the palace for many years, and the days in the general's mansion seem to be just like what happened yesterday!" Concubine Chen is docile by nature and doesn't like intrigue. Of course, I like the days when I was a concubine in the general's mansion, so it's good to be safe.
"Then Lisha will tell the ladies how beautiful the scenery of Duanji City is!"
"Well, I have been to Duanji City more than 20 years ago, but I still remember the beautiful scenery of Duanji City very clearly. Why don't you tell the two sisters, come and listen to me, is there a better place? Better than before!"
"yes!"
Lisha talked about the blue rivers and mountains of Duanji City, and some people in Concubine De were fascinated by it. It is heard that Duan Muyou, the only son of Concubine De, left the palace a few years ago, stationed at the frontier, and did not return for many years. Concubine De was always lonely, now that Lisha was talking about things outside the palace, she listened intently, and couldn't help but think of her son outside the palace, it was inevitable that she felt a little sad.
On the contrary, it was the queen who looked at Lisha from time to time, looking suspicious. When meeting Shang Lisanna's clear and gentle eyes, she was slightly taken aback, full of doubts.
Lisha met the queen's gaze without avoiding it, and nodded to the queen while talking.
"This king believes that no matter how beautiful the mountains of Duanji City are, they are no more beautiful than Miss Lisha!"
All looked towards Shengyuan.
Lisha sneered. Such a glib tone is completely different from yesterday's aggressive appearance.
The prince walked slowly to the queen, and the eunuch who was waiting on him brought a chair, and the prince sat beside the queen happily.
"Prince, this is the granddaughter of Duan Houye, Lisha, I am very happy with her!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
