The Wei family, the Dayu family, and Mrs. Yuan came over together, and Mrs. Yuan saw that only He Linwan was here, so she couldn't help asking, "Where did Xiang'er go?"

He Linwan was stunned when she heard this, and then remembered that she had just come back and had been thinking about Ye Yining, and had forgotten about Yuan Xiang, and Yuan Xiang was not in the main hall at this time.

He Linwan was about to ask the palace people, but Yuan Xiang suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

Mrs. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Where have you been?"

Yuan Xiang glanced at He Linwan and said to Mrs. Yuan, "Grandmother, I asked someone to take me to the toilet." ”

Mrs. Yuan didn't say anything more.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Yuan's efforts to enter the table in front, Yuan Xiang leaned over and quietly asked He Linwan: "Why didn't you run away without saying a word?" I just went to look for you and didn't find it. ”

He Linwan said apologetically: "People have three urgency...... Originally, I asked a palace maid to lead me to the clean room, but the palace maid was called away by the people in Concubine De's palace on the way, and I got lost, and unfortunately I met the evil star of King Kangjun again......"

"......I see," Yuan Xiang nodded.

It happened that Mrs. Yuan beckoned Yuan Xiang to come over, and Yuan Xiang followed Mrs. Yuan to the table. He Linwan was with Wei.

It didn't take long for the emperor to arrive, and He Linwan got up with everyone. The Emperor and Empress walked in side by side, while Concubine De and Concubine Xian followed behind the Empress Emperor.

When the emperor and empress and concubines were all seated, the emperor said to everyone: "Sit down." ”

After everyone was seated, the queen's eyes swept over several young girls in the hall, and said with a smile: "Today is the begging festival, it is the festival of girls, so this palace banquet The palace specially invited you to enter the palace with the elders, you don't have to be restrained today, the daughter's day should be lively." ”

Saying that, the queen looked at the people present again, and asked Concubine De and Concubine Xian in some surprise: "Why don't you see Chunyang and Huyang?"

At this time, a crisp and lively voice said: "Queen Mother, Huyang is here!"

Princess Huyang, who had left with Ye Yining before, jumped in from outside the hall, and Ye Yining followed behind Huyang.

Concubine Xian frowned and reprimanded softly: "Such a big person." Why are you still so reckless? I can't come to salute His Majesty and the Queen. ”

Princess Huyang stuck out her tongue and obediently stepped forward to salute.

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay! Didn't the queen say that you don't need to be restrained today?"

Princess Huyang smiled sweetly at the emperor. The queen beckoned to Princess Huyang, Princess Huyang glanced at Concubine Xian, saw that Concubine Xian did not speak, and immediately ran to the queen. He shouted with a smile: "Queen Mother!"

The queen touched Huyang's head lovingly, and pointed to the desk next to her: "Is it okay to sit here with your mother?"

Princess Huyang immediately nodded obediently: "Okay." After a pause, he glanced at Concubine Xian, and added in a low voice, "There are too many rules for the concubine." Huyang likes to sit with his mother. ”

The queen was immediately amused by her, and Concubine Xian pretended not to hear, shook her head and ignored her.

Princess Huyang's innocent temperament is very much liked by the queen, when the palace is holding a banquet, as long as it is not a particularly serious occasion, the queen likes to let Princess Huyang sit beside her.

Concubine De said: "Chunyang is not feeling well today, so I let her rest in the palace." ”

The queen nodded, and after a few words of concern, she didn't ask anymore.

The emperor looked at the empress: "A few days are festivals, so the matter of Concubine De will also be announced here." ”

The queen's face did not change when she heard this, and Concubine Xian still sat upright. However, everyone still noticed that the faces of the younger concubines were different.

The queen smiled and said to everyone: "Concubine De has a meritorious contribution to giving birth to the prince, and she has done her best to assist the palace in managing the harem over the years, but the division has not changed for so many years, and the palace has discussed with His Majesty, and intends to promote Concubine De to the imperial concubine, and after today's dinner, the imperial concubine will return to the palace to receive the decree." ”

Some people think that in addition to the imperial concubine under the queen, there are four concubines, generally speaking, the emperor's harem queen is basically promoted to the concubine position, and if there is a change in the position, then you must be the queen mother. It's a concubine.

Concubine Ande got up from her seat and thanked the emperor and empress.

The emperor personally helped Concubine Ande up, and the young concubines in the harem were red-eyed, wishing that they were Concubine Ande at this moment.

The emperor today is not a man who is obsessed with women. Although there is a draft every three years according to the regulations, there are not many emperors themselves included in the harem, he has reigned for nearly twenty years, and the total number of women in the harem is only about twenty, and excluding those who died of illness for various reasons and entered the cold palace, there are now only a dozen concubines in the entire harem.

Although the number of women in the harem is already very small. But it doesn't mean that these women have more opportunities to serve the emperor.

Everyone in the harem knows that in the past ten years, the emperor has slept in Concubine Ande's palace for one-third of each month, and another one-third of the days have slept in the emperor's own bedroom.

And the remaining ten days on the fifteenth day of the first month will be left for the queen, two days for the virtuous concubine, and then the biological mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Zhou Hui, will also go for one day, and the rest of the young concubines will take one or two turns every month except for the relatively favored concubine, and the rest can only depend on luck.

So there is no woman in this harem who is not jealous of Concubine Ande.

There are also people who secretly look at the queen's face, although the queen has no difference on her face, but everyone knows that the imperial concubine is equivalent to the deputy queen, originally because Concubine De was favored, the power in the palace can compete with the queen, and now that Concubine De is promoted, the situation of the queen in the harem will be more difficult in the future.

At this time, Princess Nanyang, who was sitting below, glanced at the queen gloatingly, and took the lead in smiling: "Congratulations to the imperial concubine." ”

Everyone else reacted and followed to congratulate Concubine Ande.

Concubine An De also had a happy smile on her face, and he looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you have a drink together?" ”

The emperor bowed his head, and the palace maid who stood immediately stepped forward to pour wine.

He Linwan's gaze couldn't help but fix on the wine jug in the palace maid's hand.

Before the old eunuch revealed that he wanted to poison the emperor, Ye Yining also said that he had already arranged it, so if he wanted to poison him, he must start with the wine that the emperor drank. Because the emperor of this kind of banquet usually does not eat, the only thing he will definitely move is wine.

He Linwan couldn't help but glance at Ye Yining.

Because Princess Huyang was sitting next to the queen, and Ye Yining was standing beside Princess Huyang, he was very close to the emperor now.

And at this moment, Ye Yining was also staring closely at the wine jug in the hand of the palace maid who poured wine for the emperor, so he didn't notice that the wine in his cup overflowed when he poured wine for Princess Huyang.

Princess Huyang shouted softly.

The queen, the virtuous concubine, and those sitting close couldn't help but look at Princess Huyang.

Concubine Xian immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Huyang was afraid that Ye Yining would be punished, so she immediately covered it up and said, "I just found out that what was prepared for me turned out to be fruit wine!

The queen laughed and joked to her: "Your little amount of wine, even if it is fruit wine, you must pour three glasses." ”

Princess Huyang pouted and coquettishly told the queen, and this paragraph was revealed.

He Linwan frowned, she felt that there was something wrong with Ye Yining.

At this time, the emperor took the wine glass handed over by the palace maid, raised his glass and said to everyone: "Let's drink this cup together." ”

The emperor himself toasted, and everyone present stood up.

He Linwan also got up with a wine glass, but she was not so calm in her heart.

Could it be that this glass of wine in the emperor's hand is really poisonous?

Seeing that the emperor brought the wine glass to his lips and was about to drink it, Ye Yining nervously forgot to lower his head, and he didn't even notice that Princess Huyang pulled his sleeve, he just watched the emperor's movements.

He Linwan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

At this moment, an attendant who was originally standing behind Concubine Xian suddenly rushed out and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty, this wine is not-"

He Linwan didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted: "There is an assassin!

Ye Yining's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at He Linwan.

He Linwan didn't look at Ye Yining, but threw the wine glass in his hand fiercely as he spoke, and threw it on the back of the waiter who suddenly appeared, and the waiter fell at the emperor's feet with a "poof".

This change made everyone present stand in shock, the emperor's reaction was quite fast, and he immediately retreated, and the queen pulled the princess of Huyang, who did not react, aside, and shouted: "Escort!

Some of the timid concubines and officials immediately screamed, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

The waiter who was knocked to the ground by a cup of He Linwan was stunned, struggling to crawl forward, Ye Yining flashed forward in front of the emperor, raised a foot and stepped on the neck of the waiter, the waiter turned his head desperately and looked at Ye Yining with a frightened face, he struggled to say something.

At the same time, a palace maid who was originally standing behind Concubine De suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards the emperor.

"Dog Emperor!

Ye Yining stepped on the death hole on the neck of the waiter with an expressionless face, and the waiter died without spitting out half a word, and then Ye Yining immediately turned around to stop the palace maid who was stabbing, Ye Yining had learned some kung fu with fists and feet, but his kung fu was only enough to strengthen the body, and the palace maid's skills were extremely good, but Ye Yining stopped him with his life, and he was stabbed twice in his arm and chest, but he didn't let the palace maid rush to the emperor and queen.

At this time, the guards who were not far away also rushed in, and when the palace maid's knife was almost stabbed into Ye Yining's neck, a guard stopped the palace maid.

"Keep your mouth alive!" the emperor said loudly when he saw that the scene was already under control.

Ye Yining's face was pale and shaky due to excessive blood loss, and finally he couldn't hold on and knelt on the ground, just kneeling next to the corpse of the servant.

Sorry, I came back too late today...... 555.
