Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's fine, I'll see them tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan agreed, Li Tengkong smiled and took the initiative to cuddle up, and the two of them were affectionate without mentioning it. [com]
After the morning court the next day, Zhang Xuan returned to the Imperial Study Room to read the memorial, and then ordered the eunuch to pass over the four newly canonized concubines Guo Fu, Pugu Lingguang, Zhang Ying and Hulan.
When they heard that the emperor had summoned them, the four daughters Guo Fu were very excited.
They quickly dressed themselves up, dressed in gorgeous feather robes and neon palace skirts, and entered the imperial study one after another with colorful flowers and branches, and bowed down, "I, my concubine, will pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The four girls knelt on the ground and spoke softly.
Zhang Xuan stared at the four girls and said calmly, "Get up. Come and sit down."
The four girls Guo Fu sat cautiously on both sides. Some did not dare to look into the emperor's eyes, some were shy, like Pei Mian's niece Hulan; The daughter has a strong spiritual light. There are also some who sit silently, with a dignified expression, looking at their nose and heart, like Guo Fu.
To be honest, the four girls Chunlan Qiuju each have their own merits, and they are all top beauties according to the aesthetic standards of this era. Even from Zhang Xuan's modern aesthetic point of view, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she is a little plump.
Pugu Lingguang is a little wild and should be the lively and outgoing type; Hulan is gentle and shy, just like a traditional lady. Zhang Ying is more charming, especially those eyes that are so captivating. Guo Fu, on the other hand, exuded a heroic spirit despite her delicate appearance, which may be related to the fact that she was the daughter of a general and had both civil and military skills.
As a concubine, the four girls should be said to be very qualified; and as an emperor, Zhang Xuan should not be dissatisfied.
Zhang Xuan smiled as gently as possible and began to take a seat. Among the four girls, he also knew Guo Fu.
"Kang Fei Pu Gu Ling Guang one by one" Zhang Xuan called out softly, Pu Gu Ling Guang quickly got up and bowed, "Concubine Pu Gu Ling Guang!"
Zhang Xuan nodded, "Okay, sit down."
"Chen Fei Zhang Ying~1"
"Pingfei Hulanyi"
Zhang Xuan called the names one by one, and finally cast his eyes on Guo Fu, "Concubine Duan"
Guo Fu stood up silently and bowed down, "Guo Fu pays homage to your majesty. After many years of separation from Long Shuo, your majesty is even wiser and more powerful."
As soon as Guo Fu said these words, the three girls of Pugu Lingguang looked at each other in surprise and thought: It turns out that Concubine Duan and Your Majesty have known each other for a long time." Listening to these words, it seems that they are relatively familiar with each other.
When the three girls thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a little envious, or slightly jealous.
When Zhang Xuan heard what Guo Fu said, she couldn't help but smile, "Your father and I left Longshuo and marched into the Central Plains. It's been more than a year now." Yesterday, I was still thinking about marrying Zhang Mei, the little princess of Qinghe County Prince's Palace, to your brother Guo Yao, I was about to mention it to your father, what do you think? "
Guo Fu was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said with a respectful smile, "Your Majesty granted me the marriage, and I am very grateful. It is my brother's blessing to be able to marry the little princess of Qinghe County Prince's Palace."
Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will talk to your father tomorrow. However, the matter of marriage between a man and a woman still depends on the wishes and fate of both parties. Even I cannot force it. I am going to host a banquet for Guo Yao and Zhang Mei to meet."
"Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty." Guo Fu bowed down.
The three girls looked at Guo Fu with envy in their eyes.
It has not yet been revealed whether Guo Fu will be favored or not when she enters the palace, but the emperor actually wants Guo Ziyi's son to marry his uncle, which shows that the emperor thinks very highly of the Guo family. In this way, Guo Fu is still very likely to be favored.
Pugu Ling¡¯s bright eyes flashed.
Before she entered the palace, Pugu Huaien sent someone back to Beijing from Fan Yang to deliver a letter. In the letter, she repeatedly told her to do her best to please the emperor, strive for favor, and add power and glory to Pugu Huaien and her family. Although Pugu Huaien is the founding father of Zhang Xuan, his family background is worse than that of Guo Ziyi and others, and it is even inferior to some famous noble families.
Allowing her daughter to enter the palace as a concubine is an important means for Pugu Huaien to enhance her "confidence". Whether he can replace Guo Ziyi in the future depends on her daughter's performance.
When she thought of this, Pugu Lingguang's look at Guo Fu became a little complicated. From this moment on, she had to regard Guo Fu as a potential competitor.
Zhang Xuan did not pay attention to the subtle changes between the four women. Even if he finds it, he doesn't bother to care. Anyway, he has no intention of doting on the four girls for the time being.??.
"I'm calling you here today to meet and talk."
"You are all the daughters of my important ministers. Now that you have entered my harem, you can be regarded as my concubine. I hope that you will abide by the rules in the harem and obey the queen's arrangements. In a few days, I will go on a personal expedition, which may take a year. It will take half a year to return to the palace. If you are lonely in the palace, you can go back to your hometown and reunite with your relatives."
"But, you are my concubines after all. Even if you are outside the palace, you cannot break the rules." "Do you understand what I mean?"
Although Zhang Xuan¡¯s voice is soft, it is powerful and awe-inspiring
The four girls couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but they still stood up respectfully to accept the order.
"Okay, I'm a little tired. You can go back to the palace."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Without any hesitation, Guo Fu stood up together with Hulan and Zhang Ying, bowed before Yingying and left.
Pugu Lingguang was slightly hesitant and hesitated to leave.
Zhang Xuan glanced at her and said calmly, "Concubine Kang, do you have anything else?"
"Your Majesty, I have entered the palace as a concubine. It is my duty to serve Your Majesty. I dare to ask Your Majesty to keep me by your side and serve you
Pugu Lingguang knelt down with fiery eyes.
Zhang Xuan was startled and thought, this girl actually took the initiative to beg me for sex? This is really bold and bold He could tell at a glance that this woman was somewhat scheming, and she was very lively and extroverted.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help coughing twice.
He looked at Pu Yin Lingguang with some embarrassment, and was about to refuse, but then he thought again. After all, she was a newly canonized concubine and the daughter of Pugu Huai'en. It would be inappropriate to embarrass her too much.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and smiled, "That's fine, you can just stay in the imperial study room and review the memorial with me."
Pugu Lingguang was overjoyed and fell to the ground, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"Get up. When you are with me from now on, remember the rules. Don't bow to me at every turn. I don't like it." Zhang Xuan smiled calmly, picked up a memorial, and began to review it.
Pugu Huaien immediately stood up and entered the role. She turned around obediently and went out to serve Zhang Xuan tea through the palace maid. Then she stood silently on one side, waiting for Zhang Xuan's instructions at any time.
Outside the imperial study, the three girls couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that Pu Gu Lingguang had taken the initiative to stay to accompany the emperor.
Hulan is introverted and quiet. Although she is envious in her heart, she cannot say it out loud. Zhang Ying turned back to stare at the imperial study room, and smiled softly at Guo Fu, "Sister Duan Fei, this Concubine Kang is really brave, and dares to stay with His Majesty No wonder people say that Hu Nu is passionate. It seems that in the future, Concubine Kang wants to be pampered, "","
Pugu Huaien is a Hu person, so Zhang Ying is said to be a "Hu girl".
There was obviously a hint of jealousy in Zhang Ying's voice. Guo Fu smiled calmly and said, "We enter the palace as concubines. It is our duty to serve His Majesty. It is normal for Concubine Kang to stay and serve His Majesty. Let's go, Ping. My dear sister, come to my palace to talk?"
Hu Lan nodded lightly.
Guo Fu and Hulan left side by side.
Zhang Yingyou turned around and looked in the direction of the imperial study, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
Pugu Lingguang stayed in the imperial study for an hour or two, talking to Zhang Xuan from time to time, and the unfamiliar barrier gradually disappeared a lot. And Pugu Lingguang is an outgoing woman who is good at communication and is very flattering. She quickly became acquainted with Zhang Xuan, and in the end she had the courage to sit next to Zhang Xuan and help Zhang Xuan grind. .
Zhang Xuan laughed secretly in her heart, but she didn¡¯t point out anything.
He is not afraid that Pugu Lingguang has scheming intentions. There is nothing wrong with her being obsessed with being favored. As long as she abides by her duties, it is understandable that she should be favored appropriately. As a concubine, who doesn't want to be favored by the emperor?
In the evening, Pugu Lingguang served Zhang Xuan after dinner and refused to leave. She finally managed to open up a situation with Zhang Xuan, so how could she give up halfway.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief and didn't let her leave even after thinking about it. It's just that Zhang Xuan dealt with state affairs until early morning that night, and in the end Pugu Lingguang didn't have the chance to get close to the emperor, so he couldn't help but be disappointed.
On the morning of the next day, Zhang Xuanyouji changed his clothes due to his spiritual aura and the palace maids waiting for him. He glanced at Pugu Huaien, whose eyes were red and swollen, obviously from not sleeping all night, reached over and squeezed her little hand, and said with a smile, "I want to go to court early. You can go back to the palace and catch up on your sleep. Don't hurt yourself."
"I am a concubine" Pugu Lingguang sighed faintly and prostrated on the ground, "I am a humble concubine who cannot serve your majesty. I am sincere in my heart."?Sincerely afraid. "
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing her somewhat self-pitying words, "Okay, go back and rest. If I have time in the future, I will send you a message."
Zhang Xuan floated away and went to court.
Pugu Lingguang had no choice but to leave quietly.
"I heard that the newly arrived Concubine Kang stayed with the emperor for one night and was not favored. Queen Cui Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In Cui Ying¡¯s view, her husband, the emperor, never plays by common sense and has his own unwavering principles. If these new concubines want to be favored, they must at least have time to get along with Zhang Xuan and develop feelings. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Zhang Xuan to accept such a nearly stranger woman.
And the eunuchs and maids beside the emperor felt even more incredible. With such a delicate and beautiful concubine standing in front of him, the emperor was not moved?
These maids and eunuchs all came from the Chang'an Palace. They were accustomed to the scenes of indulgence and pleasure of the Li and Tang royal family in the palace, which formed a sharp contrast with the current palace.
