In the main hall of the 'Lianyue Palace', Xiao Min, a virtuous concubine who had just been canonized and rewarded, sat on a chaise longue, wearing a jasper bracelet on her wrist that Gonggong Qin had been rewarded, and her slender jade hand was holding a white jade tea bowl, and she was leisurely tasting tea

Xing'er looked at her master, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, since Qin Gonggong left for an hour, her mouth has never been closed, when the palace maid outside the palace sent the fruit in, she hurriedly stepped forward to take it, handed it to Xiao Min, and said: "Princess, you can taste this, this is also a reward from the emperor, it is said that in this harem, except for Qin Zhaorong, who is pregnant with the imperial heir, no palace concubine can taste the winter plum fruit from the tribute of this 'Ziyun Kingdom'" said, then put a plate of delicate red plums on the table next to him, and said: "Princess, Since the emperor can say those words at the banquet, and Qin Zhaorong is pregnant and unable to serve the emperor, maybe in a few days, the emperor will favor Miss Lucky."

Xiao Min glanced at the dishes and bowls on the table, but there was no joy on her face, she pursed her lips and pulled out a wry smile, sighed slightly, and said: "I didn't expect that Qin Zhaorong has thousands of favors from the emperor, and he is pregnant with the emperor's heir, but he didn't advance, but I, the princess who came to make peace for the country, can be promoted to the concubine position" After that, he put down the tea bowl, stood up with his bare hands on the table, flicked his long sleeves, and walked outside the hall

Looking up, Xiao Min looked at the afterglow of dusk, tightened the silk handkerchief in his hand, and sighed lightly: "The emperor deliberately filled the position of the four concubines, so that Qin Zhaorong could not yield to the throne of the concubine, he was born as the prince, and even if the prince's mother could not successfully become the queen, in the future, she would definitely be the queen mother" After speaking, Xiao Min closed his eyes and smiled, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Everything the emperor did was for Xiao Tong, he had already cut off everyone's retreat, and I could be named ' 'Concubine Xian', it's just his strategy to kill two birds with one stone."

Xing'er was shocked, the smile on her face had long since disappeared, she lifted her skirt and stepped forward, her face turned pale, and she stammered a little: "What does the princess mean, is that the reason why the emperor will canonize the young lady is to appease the 'Purple Jade Kingdom', and secondly, to raise Qin Zhaorong to a higher position?" "In this way, isn't the princess and the 'Purple Jade Country' the ladder for the emperor to help Qin Zhaorong to the back position?

Xiao Min opened his eyes, his eyes reflected the red sun at dusk, staring at the entire 'Lianyue Palace' was immersed in this dim yellow and red light, and he suddenly remembered that day at the banquet, the emperor said that she was similar to the 'Chende Concubine', and her heart couldn't help but be more bitter

"Sister is so interested" Suddenly, there was a coquettish reprimand at the door of the 'Mercy Palace', Xiao Min was slightly stunned, and then saw Allure dressed in a red skirt enchanting, with a glass jade hair, extraordinarily luxurious and walked into the hall, when he saw Xiao Min's slightly surprised eyes, he pursed his lips and smiled, and the jade finger walked up the stone steps with a long skirt, flicked the robe draped over his shoulders, walked to Xiao Min's side, stretched out his hand to look at the gold armor on his little finger, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister on today's promotion, it seems that the emperor's favor is not far away"

Xiao Min was unusually humble and jerky, pulled his lips and smiled, and said with a slight raised eyebrows: "It should be my sister to congratulate Sister Defei, 'Leng Xiao Guo' is strong and strong, and my sister is like a fairy, if you want to get the emperor's pity, it must be easy, and my sister I, even though I am canonized as a 'virtuous concubine', but I am just serving the country" said, ignoring Concubine De, turned around and walked into the main hall, leaning back on the concubine chair

Concubine De's complexion changed slightly, her eyes looked at Xiao Min who was sitting on the chair with a little coldness, pursed her lips, walked slowly to the table, brushed her clothes and sat down, but reluctantly smiled: "Where does my sister say, we are married to the same husband, and we should serve the emperor wholeheartedly, now that Qin Zhaorong is pregnant, it must be a lot of inconvenience for the emperor, and my sister happens to be promoted today, it is better for my sister to ask to see the emperor."

"Concubine De, please use tea" Xing'er brought the brewed tea to Concubine De's side, and then walked to Xiao Min's side, who was tightly screwed with beautiful eyebrows, pulled her long sleeves, and signaled her to agree to Allure, however, Xiao Min pursed her red lips, got up and said: "Sister Defei's love, my sister has it in mind, but this kind of thing, it is better to continue the schedule by generation, sister in the 'Xuanwu Gate', didn't you just order Qin Zhaorong to stand by my side" said, pinched the silk handkerchief and got up, no longer looked at Allure, turned around and walked to the bedroom, and said coldly: "Today's sister is a little tired, I won't talk to my sister, Xing'er, send Concubine De on behalf of the palace."

Allure's face suddenly turned pale, her eyes shone with anger and she got up, her jade hand slapped on the table with a snap, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Xiao Min's stopped figure, her chest continued to rise and fall and scolded angrily: "Xiao Min, don't toast and don't eat, eat and drink, do you really think that if you are promoted to the fourth concubine, the palace will not dare to do anything to you?" ”

The corners of Xiao Min's mouth melted and smiled, his eyes slowly closed, and then opened again, and then turned to look at Allure, whose delicate face was a little distorted, and said with a smile: "If Sister Concubine De is seen by the emperor, I am afraid that she will not be able to sleep in this life, but my sister heard that the emperor likes Zhuang Yi's smart woman the most, not a wicked woman" Saying, he looked back with his eyelashes, pushed the door and walked into the bedroom

"Xiao Min, you" Concubine De was furious, and when she saw the bedroom door closed, she swept the tea bowls and fruits on the table to the ground, only to hear a bang, and those delicate red plums rolled down everywhere

After the "princess" left in Allure, Xing'er walked into the bedroom with red eyes, and Xiao Min, who was standing on the couch, said aggrievedly: "Princess, Concubine De is really too deceitful, do you just endure it?" Anyway, you are also the fourth concubine who was only promoted by the emperor today, and her actions are really contrary to the harem law taught by Concubine Shu at the beginning."

Xiao Min closed her eyes, but she didn't care about flicking her long sleeves, stretched out her hand to support her forehead, and said softly: "Concubine Shu has been saving her relatives for a few days, according to the law of the harem, any concubine visit must go back and forth on the same day, as a harem law enforcement concubine, why should she put the law of this harem in her eyes?" Saying that, Xiao Min waved his hand and sighed: "That's it, if Xing'er feels wronged, it's the 'Heart Palace' to let the maid in front of the palace tell Qin Zhaorong about today's events."

"Qin Zhaorong?" Xing'er was stunned, then twisted her eyebrows, and said embarrassedly: "Princess, Qin Zhaorong has lost her memory, even if she knows about it, I'm afraid."

"As long as Ji Zhaorong knows, are you afraid that the emperor won't know?" Xiao Min interrupted Xing'er's words, and then said a little tiredly: "I'm tired, you can also go and rest, you don't have to wait" Xing'er opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but when she saw that the princess had turned sideways, she could only answer yes, a little, and withdrew from the bedroom with her head down

In the back garden, Qingyi sat in the long pavilion, when a maid in front of the palace hurriedly left, her pink lips pursed a meaningful smile, she reached out and picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then handed the tea bowl to Xiao Tong, who was waiting on the side, and said softly: "I didn't expect that there is another talented and intelligent woman in this palace, the emperor is really a blessing."

Xiao Tong looked at the tea bowl in his hand, but he twisted his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the figure of the imperial maid who had disappeared, and said a little unhappily: "This little princess originally had a good temperament, but she was a little afraid, but she didn't expect that once she was promoted, she became a lot smarter, and she even knew that she would inform the young lady of her grievances, and then use the young lady to tell the emperor."

Qingyi got up, her eyes were calm, she looked up at the sky, and said with a light smile: "She knows that if she endures this matter, she will be wronged by herself, if she can't bear it, she won't be able to see the emperor at all, so she passed the word to me, a woman who is as smart as Ouyang Hongyu, worthy of the emperor's imagination of the two of them" said, then stepped down the steps, pursed her lips and said: "Xiao Tong, these **** don't have to follow me, presumably, an old man has been waiting for me for a long time to see me."

Old friend? Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, then put down the tea bowl, lifted his skirt and followed Qingyi, and said with some puzzlement: "Miss's old friend refers to" Saying, Xiao Tong's heart was already counted, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Miss be careful, the lord of Leng Guo is not ordinary, especially when we meet this time, the slave always feels that he is more difficult to guess than before."

Qingyi chuckled, reached out and stroked the white jade bracelet on his wrist, pursed his lips and said: "When Allure and Xiao Min saw me returning to the palace, they went to the 'Imperial Study' to ask to see the emperor, and sent it back by letter to comfort the heart of the country.

Leng Guyun's mind is unpredictable, and his heart is even more unknown, his person is indeed similar to Yu Haoxuan, but he is not righteous enough, and he is more than ruthless, if he really came because of her, presumably, this trip to the imperial capital, she can't escape no matter what

Xiao Tong listened to Qingyi's words, her whole body couldn't help but shudder, she clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said worriedly: "Miss, it's better to inform the emperor of this matter first, so as not to take it seriously, and besides, Miss is now pregnant with the emperor's heir, and it is not appropriate to use force" If there is any accident this time, then the emperor

Qingyi lowered her eyelashes, and her hand couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen, and the haze just now has dissipated a lot, but her heart is still like a tight string, a little, she closed her eyes, and said lightly: "The matter of the cold country lord, I have my own measure, you go and spread the matter of Concubine De's immorality today, and force Concubine Shu to return to the palace to deal with this matter quickly" Saying, the voice paused, and said: "Concubine Shu has not returned for a few days, in case the night is long and dreamy, and it is not good for me, you have to be extra careful" The voice fell, and he no longer stopped walking towards the direction of the dormitory

In the hall next to the 'Heart Palace', the lights have been brightened everywhere, and the long shadow of Qingyi flickered under the swaying of the candle flame, she looked at the deep hall that seemed to have no end, and couldn't help but stop a little lost, took a deep breath, turned around and walked in the direction of the 'Palace of Eternal Life', but saw that Gonggong Qin seemed to have been waiting at the door of the palace, and when he saw her, he bowed his head and said: "Zhaorong Niangniang, the emperor has been waiting for a long time"

Xiu's eyebrows moved, Qingyi looked at the dim candle flame reflected on the door with some doubts, pursed her lips, and said as if puzzled: "The emperor came back so early?" Didn't you just go two hours ago when you were invited by the Prime Minister to discuss government affairs? "Today, I accompanied the emperor in the 'imperial study' for a day, but I didn't want to see Prime Minister Ouyang Chi in a hurry at dusk, saying that she had something important to see, but in order to prevent her from falling into the mouth, she avoided it." Back to Zhaorong Niangniang's words, the emperor had already come back about two pillars of incense, but he saw Niangniang and Mu Xiaozhu enjoying the plum blossoms in the back garden, so he didn't bother" Qin Gonggong said with a smile, and then shook the dust in his hand, and said: "Niangniang, please come in, the meal has been arranged"

Qingyi responded with a light smile, then reached out to push the door, stepped in, and when she looked up, she saw Yu Haoxuan leaning on the edge of the window, her eyes were deep, but her thin lips were staring at her with a little smile.

Closing the door, Qingyi walked into the hall with a smile, walked in front of the emperor, and said softly: "What happy event did the emperor encounter today, so happy?" ”

Yu Haoxuan looked at Qingyi who was standing in front of him, and did not speak, but smiled and took her hand, took her into his arms, and then took off her coat, kissed her hair, and said in a low voice: "It should be me who wants to ask my Qingyi, if there is anything to tell me today?" ”

Qingyi raised her eyelashes and looked at the emperor's unfathomable eyes, her eyebrows moved, she pursed her red lips, stretched out her hand to push away the emperor's embrace, and said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't know that the emperor also likes to care about the affairs of the harem, or has the virtuous concubine already come to cry to the emperor when the palace is away?" As he spoke, he turned and walked to the bed, ignoring the emperor.

Yu Haoxuan's eyes were deeper, he walked to the bed with a smile, looked at Qingyi's unwavering eyes, sat beside her, and said with a smile: "Is Qingyi angry?" Maybe Qingyi is jealous? Saying that, before Qingyi had time to refute, he hugged her body and said with a low smile: "Don't punish me for not touching you, everything else will depend on me."

Qingyi was slightly stunned, and then covered her lips and smiled, but she still didn't want to pay attention to him, a little, when she was away at noon, she said a little coldly: "Then punish the emperor to sleep on the couch today, and don't share the bed with the concubines."

The smile on Yu Haoxuan's face suddenly condensed, he turned Qingyi's body violently, looked directly at her, and said with a little anxiety in his eyes: "Qingyi, we said okay, don't cheat, no matter what you are punished, you are not allowed to be punished, you are not allowed to see you, you are not allowed to meet, you are not allowed to talk to you."

Qingyi's face was a little moved, but then he put aside his face, pursed his lips and said: "Then punish the emperor for approving a one-night concert" said, looking at the emperor with a little playfulness, and said with a light smile: "The concubine is pregnant, the emperor should not let the concubine accompany him, so that the agreement will not be violated."

”

"Qingyi" Yu Haoxuan twisted his sword eyebrows and looked at the woman who was smiling in his arms, and couldn't help but close his eyes, and then hugged Qingyi on his lap, wrapped it tightly, and sighed in a low voice: "My Qingyi really hurts me"

Qingyi snuggled in the emperor's arms, smelling the reassuring smell of ambergris on his body, the corners of his lips smirked, and said, "Did Concubine Xian really come to appeal to the emperor?" ”
