Chapter 478 Admonishment
"No need to dress up on purpose, as long as it is not rude."
Chu Junlan looked at himself in the Western Beauty Mirror, chose a golden silk hairpin that suited his identity and inserted it on his hair. He also chose a pair of jade bracelets with good water heads and put them on it. He took the light pink silk handed over by Zi Yan and walked out.
"No one wants to see a young and beautiful girl over her, especially at the age of Concubine Rushu."
Zi Yuan and Zi Yan nodded and quickly followed Chu Junlan's pace.
Stepping along the neat bluestone bricks along the way, you will walk through the not-so-wide back alley, and quickly walk through the hall to the garden, and passing through the two crabapple doors is the front yard.
Chu Junlan saw from a distance that the female family members in the family had gathered outside the Yimen Gate, forming two groups with Princess Zhang and Princess Cai as two centers.
Because Prince Gong inspected the borders on behalf of the emperor and was not in the capital, Xiao Xu never came back in the Crown Prince's Army, so on the other side were Xiao Yunpeng, Xiao Yunguang, Xiao Yuncheng and Xiao Yunfei.
Seeing Chu Junlan coming, the female relatives gradually stopped talking in a low voice, either openly or secretly looking at Chu Junlan.
When Xiao Yunpeng saw Chu Junlan, his eyes seemed to have ignited two flames, staring at her with a stare. He was like a hungry beast who had been hungry for a long time and wished he could pounce on him and bite him when he saw the weak prey.
Chu Junlan just pretended that he could not see Xiao Yunpeng's ugly appearance. Before he got close, he saluted Princess Zhang and Princess Cai, and greeted four sisters, Xiao Zilan, Xiao Ziqi, Xiao Zihui and Xiao Zixin.
Xiao Zilan looked at the sky with her eyes squinted and turned a blind eye to Chu Junlan. Xiao Ziqi, Xiao Zihui and Xiao Zixin saw this and gave a little blessed look, then stepped aside, and did not whisper in a low voice.
Chu Junlan didn't care about this, but instead turned Zi Yan and Zi Yuan's faces red.
However, for a long time, a servant rushed in outside the mansion with his legs flying.
"Reply to the two princesses, the masters' words, the Luan Concubine Shu's phoenix will be ready with a cup of tea. Please prepare for it."
King Zhang's smile was stiff.
Princess Cai elegantly repaired her long skirt and told everyone behind her, "Let's go, let's go outside to greet her."
"Yes." The concubines, concubines, and maids all agreed.
Chu Junlan took Zi Yuan and Zi Yan to go out with the team and stood on the clean street.
In addition to the two concubines in Prince Gong's mansion, there were eighteen concubines, all of whom were there at this time. Chu Junlan directly passed over them, stood behind Princess Cai and Princess Zhang, and left the other girls behind.
Xiao Zilan was dissatisfied, but because she knew that Chu Junlan was right, she could only pout and sulk.
At this time, there were mixed footsteps coming from far to near.
Everyone stood with their heads down according to the rules, without saying much.
At the intersection of the street, a group of insults wearing round-necked sunflower shirts and female officials wearing purple jackets and red skirts each carried whisks and lanterns. The sixth brother was neatly surrounded by a luxurious brocade tassel red wheelbarrow.
Behind the carriage were followed by twenty inner court guards holding swords and halberds.
"My wife and wife will help us welcome the concubine!"
Princess Zhang and Princess Cai spoke in unison and saluted side by side.
The rest of the people knelt down and bowed with them, saying "Wanfu".
Concubine Shu's luxurious Zhu Rotto Su car slowly stopped in front of her. The two female officials carried the curtain cages left and right, and saw Concubine Shu wearing a red-breasted palace skirt with an emerald green Shu brocade horse-faced skirt, with high green hair tied with green hair. There were three pairs and six phoenix-mouthed gold hairpins on both sides. When walking, under the jewelry spirit, Concubine Shu's noble status was more and more prominent.
"Forget it." Concubine Shu waved her hand lazily, and a golden light flashed across the two golden hollowed-out thin armors on her right ring finger and tail finger.
Chu Junlan followed behind everyone and stood up with his head down.
Princess Cai and Princess Zhang came forward and served Concubine Shu on the left and right.
Princess Cai held Concubine Shu's arm intimately and said with a smile: "Empress, Empress, these are the daughters of the royal palace."
Except for Xiao Zilan, Xiao Ziqi and his concubines looked at Princess Cai with gratitude and took the opportunity to salute.
As illegitimate children, they always go to the palace to celebrate the holidays and pay tribute to their mothers. They can’t help themselves whether they show their faces in front of the Tian family. Xiao Ziqi and Xiao Zihui have just passed the age of going to the age of overcoming the New Year. They are both at the age of discussing marriage. If they can get a compliment from the emperor’s favorite Concubine Shu, it will be of great benefit to their future negotiations.
Concubine Shu will naturally give Princess Cai this face. She stopped with a smile, swept the four girls in the royal palace with beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "It's true that the four girls are so well-conditioned that I can like it when I see it."
Concubine Shu said, then looked at Princess Zhang and said gently: "Thanks to Princess Zhang for many years, she has not only managed the prince's house in an orderly manner, but also taught the children so well," she took Princess Cai's hand to approach, "This sister in the palace is young and has grown up spoiled at home. If she does anything that is inappropriate, please give more advice to Princess Zhang."
Princess Zhang felt flattered and was uneasy. Concubine Shu said this as if she had put her on fire. She didn't have much time to enter the palace on weekdays, but this time she was praised by Concubine Shu, which was really uneasy.
"The concubine praised her, and her wife was dull. Thanks to Sister Cai, she often mentioned that since Sister Cai came to the mansion, the big and small things in the mansion were also thanks to Sister Cai, otherwise her wife would have been too busy."
Concubine Shu smiled and nodded. Princess Cai held Concubine Shu's arm with both hands, followed her arrogantly and went straight to the front hall of the palace.
The inner supervisor and the female official, and the inner court guards naturally followed Concubine Shu closely. As a result, Princess Zhang and the children of the royal palace, the concubines and maids were all left behind and could only follow from a distance through the ceremonial guard.
Chu Junlan felt it didn't matter, but Princess Zhang gritted her teeth in hatred and barely kept smiling on her face.
When they arrived at the front hall, Concubine Shu sat upright in the first seat and everyone saluted again.
Concubine Shu smiled and asked everyone to stand or sit according to their identities, and then she looked at the royal mansion.
The beautiful eyes swept over Xiao Yunpeng, Xiao Yunguang, Xiao Yuncheng and Xiao Yunfei, and finally fell on the oldest Xiao Yunpeng.
"Is this the second young master? He is really a handsome talent."
Although Concubine Shu is nearly 10 years old, she has maintained her well, with exquisite makeup and plump figure, and has a charm that ordinary girls do not have. In addition, she has been pampering in the palace for many years, and she has a delicate and lazy charm in every move. Xiao Yunpeng has already been a little confused. After hearing Concubine Shu mention him, she came back to her senses and hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you for the praise of the concubine."
Concubine Shu smiled slightly, picked up the blue and white bowl of carp playing with lotus, held up the golden hollow armor and twisted the orchid fingers, and brushed off the foam on the surface with the cover of the bowl.
"But I think that the second young master should be like Lingzun, learn more about his predecessors, study hard, study martial arts diligently, and work hard to serve the court. Young people, don't always listen to women's opinions and wander around in the inner house."
