Chapter 199: Joy

Hearing that it was the Duke of Dingguo and the eldest princess of Anping who had entered the palace, Concubine Liu Xian's heart tightened slightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the favor she has received over the years is not as good as that of Concubine Zheng Guifei, she is also the first person under Concubine Zheng, who dares not to take her in the eyes of the whole palace.

If you really want to say that there is, it will be the eldest princess of Anping.

Emperor Yuanchang's own sister, the only daughter of Empress Dowager Ning, the eldest princess of Anping is indeed worthy of a proud daughter of the sky, in this palace, even if Queen Xu who sits firmly in the middle palace, and Zheng Guifei, who is constantly favored, in the face of the eldest princess of Anping, although she does not say that she retreats, it is definitely courteous.

In addition, the eldest princess of Anping is also married to Ning Jingchang, the prince of Dingguo, who not only has military power in her hands, but also holds the Jinyi Guard, for King Duan and King Ning, who have almost turned against each other for the storage position, the eldest princess of Anping is naturally very valuable, and correspondingly, Queen Xu and Concubine Zheng Guifei have also used their own means to win over the eldest princess of Anping.

The eldest princess of Anping has never had an obvious bias between Queen Xu and Concubine Zheng Guifei, but she is always unaccustomed to seeing Concubine Liu Xian, and every time the two meet in the palace, there is always a-for-tat confrontation.

Although Concubine Liu Xian is a palace concubine, she really can't have any sense of superiority in front of the eldest princess of Anping, so in recent years, she has lost face here with the eldest princess of Anping.

Even Concubine Liu Xian herself didn't know why the eldest princess of Anping was targeting her alone, she recalled again and again, and she didn't remember that she had done anything that annoyed the eldest princess of Anping.

It can only be said that there is a certain number of people between people, whether they are good or evil.

Fortunately, even if the eldest princess of Anping doesn't look down on Concubine Liu Xian, she only picks her thorns at most, but she has never secretly stumbled.

Concubine Liu Xian originally wanted to take today's opportunity to cry to Emperor Yuanchang, her request was not excessive, she just wanted to ask for the will of marriage for Chu Chengqi, and as soon as she asked, Emperor Yuanchang was very likely to come down.

However, the eldest princess of Anping was also present, and it was difficult to say whether the eldest princess of Anping would deliberately do bad things because of her inexplicable ill feelings towards her.

With such thoughts, Concubine Liu Xian went all the way to the octagonal pavilion where Emperor Yuanchang and Ning Jingchang were located.

At this time, the sun was high, the air was full of dry heat, although the octagonal pavilion was not big, but there were a few ice basins in it, and Concubine Liu Xian felt a pleasant coolness as soon as she walked into the pavilion.

In the octagonal pavilion, Emperor Yuanchang and Ning Jingchang were playing against each other, and Princess Anping was sitting on the sidelines watching chess.

The eldest princess of Yuanchang Emperor Chang'an Ping was seven or eight years old, and the men's temples that had entered the age of not being confused were a little frosty because he was worried about state affairs all the year round, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon dress, his bearing was as calm as a mountain, and his eyebrows were mighty, even if he did not say anything, he also had a momentum of not being angry and self-authoritative.

Ning Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, who was sitting opposite Emperor Yuanchang, was wearing an official uniform embroidered with a unicorn and Bai Ze, he was a few years younger than Emperor Yuanchang, and he was more like an immovable boulder under the momentum of Emperor Yuanchang.

Emperor Yuanchang dropped the white piece in his hand, and the chess pieces touched the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

Then, Emperor Yuanchang glanced at Concubine Liu Xian, "Concubine Ai is here." ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the food box in Concubine Liu Xian's hand, with a slight smile in his eyes.

can give some attention to Concubine Liu Xian during the game, and Emperor Yuanchang treats her a little differently.

Concubine Liu Xian looked at Emperor Yuanchang, saluted first, and then narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon, and her voice was coquettish that did not match her age: "Your Majesty, the concubine was originally here to bring you ginseng soup, but she didn't want to disturb you playing against Dingguo Gong." ”

Then he and Ning Jingchang and his wife exchanged salutes.

The eldest princess of Anping frowned when she heard this.

is obviously already a middle-aged woman, but she always makes some little daughter gestures, which is what she is most unaccustomed to, so over the years, as long as she has the opportunity, she will always stab Concubine Liu Xian a few words, plus Ning Zhiyuan was later affected by Chu Chengqi's reputation, and she looked at the mother and son even more unpleasantly.

It is also thanks to the eldest princess Anping who grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she is well versed in the survival of the court, even if she sometimes deliberately targets Concubine Liu Xian, it will not make Emperor Yuanchang unhappy.

"It turned out that Concubine Xian Niangniang came, I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang did not forget to send ginseng soup to the imperial brother every day these days, but I don't know, after drinking the ginseng soup sent by Concubine Xian, what does the imperial brother have to reward?"

Concubine Liu Xian's naivety and not being good at hiding her mind are also well-known in the palace, whenever she wants to ask Emperor Yuanchang for something, she will always be more attentive than before, such as this time.

Xu Shi likes her appearance, and when Concubine Liu Xian asks for something, Emperor Yuanchang has always responded.

Concubine Liu Xian had something hidden in her heart, so naturally she would not conflict with the eldest princess of Anping in front of Emperor Yuanchang, and in the face of the unkindness of the eldest princess of Anping, she didn't say much, so she stood behind Emperor Yuanchang with a food box.

At this time, the chess game ended with Ning Jingchang losing a son, Emperor Yuanchang laughed and ordered someone to clean up the chessboard, and Concubine Liu Xian hurriedly took out the ginseng soup that was still warm in the food box and placed it in front of Emperor Yuanchang.

Emperor Yuanchang took a sip of ginseng soup before saying to the eldest princess of Anping: "Anping, after so many years, you haven't changed your temper. ”

I didn't say anything else.

The eldest princess of Anping is the younger sister of Emperor Yuanchang who grew up, and he is naturally a little more tolerant of her.

As for Concubine Liu Xian......

Emperor Yuanchang has been on the throne for many years, and there has been no mistake or omission in handling political affairs, so naturally he will not be an old-eyed and dizzy person, and the face of the woman in this palace in front of him is true or false, he can still see it.

But so what?

He is the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and so many concubines in the palace are also his women, what are they doing in order to please him and get his favor?

What's more, like Concubine Liu Xian, in order to gain his favor, she has maintained her disguise for decades, and even almost turned herself into another person, she worked so hard, and he, the emperor, spoiled her more, so she was regarded as a reward for pleasing him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanchang pushed aside the already empty ginseng soup, took Concubine Liu Xian's hand and asked her to sit beside him, and then quipped: "Aifei, you have also sent this ginseng soup for so many days, if there is really anything you want to ask me, you can say it now, right?"

Concubine Liu Xian lowered her head when she heard this, and her cheeks, which were as white as jade, were dyed with a little blush, "Your Majesty, you are also laughing at the concubine." ”

After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu Xian was about to open her mouth to ask for help, but when her eyes swept to Ning Jingchang and Princess Anping, who were sitting on the side, she suddenly closed her mouth again.

The eldest princess of Anping is here, and she is still a little worried that she will deliberately mess with her own affairs. (To be continued.) )
