The second day after Feng Gui's concubine gave birth was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Hua Langying nested in his palace and never went out, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor stayed in Fengyi Palace.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I had to get up early and go to the queen to ask for peace, there was no queen mother in the palace, and the queen was the largest in the harem, but today the emperor and queen jointly accepted the concubines' invitation to bow down.

The concubines were already discussing Hua Rongying's delivery to Feng Guifei, and at this time, there were many nice words, and Hua Rongying didn't care how exaggerated the words were, she only smiled faintly.

On the second day of the first month, it was the third of the four princes, and the queen was also lively, and the concubines prepared some gifts for the four princes. The flower made the shadow remind, and also wrote a message to send, but this gift is not good or bad.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the emperor went to the palace of Wei Guifei, and came to the Yuehua Palace on the fourth day of the first month.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng still has a cold face of "This person owes me three hundred taels", obviously he would not be so cold in the past, Hua Rongying wondered if he had reached menopause.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng seemed to teach his son a lesson, and said, "You just do something out of tune all day long, and you will be fifteen years old after the New Year." ”

Flower Shadow: ......

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "There is no personal appearance yet. ”

Hua Langying was stunned and spit out: "I'm not human, is it difficult or a ghost?"

The palace maid brought the tea, Hua Langying took it and handed it to him, he took the tea and took a sip and put it on the table.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said, "Where did this bird come from?"

Hua Rongying said: "The day before yesterday, it flew to my windowsill, I gave it food, and it stayed." ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "You caught it." ”

Hua Langying said: "No, this bird is afraid that it was raised by a human, and it flew to the wrong place, and it can't find food outside, so I'm good with it, and it's good with me." ”

The shadow of the flower opened the birdcage, and the bird flew out, and flew around the house for a while, and the shadow of the flower learned to call at it, and reached out to tease it, and it landed on her hand again.

"Isn't it very good? I don't know who raised it. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "Better than you, you are not as good as a bird, it knows who is good to it, you don't know." ”

Hua Rongying smiled: "Why does the emperor always hurt me? I don't think I'm so bad." Hua Langying understood his words, but turned his head away, with disapproval between his eyebrows.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng looked at her for a long time and said, "You are also embarrassed to send a message to the child." ”

Hua Rongying said: "Aren't I good at handwriting? ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "Reluctant to pay?"

Flower Shadow put the bird back in the cage and said, "That's right." ”

"I'm hungry for you?"

"There's no need for the emperor to blame me for this. I don't have much to do with that kid, and I'm good at writing. ”

She only smiled faintly, but this smile made him feel bad, no woman smiled like this in front of him.

"You delivered the baby with your own hands. ”

"So he had to give me money, not me give him. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "Concubine Feng has a meritorious child, and I plan to promote her to the title of 'Concubine De'." Xuanyuan Ling Heng did it on purpose, because he knew that she wanted to be Concubine De.

Hua Rongying turned her head at this time, stayed for a while, and said, "I don't need to give gifts, do I?"

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said: "On a big day, I always have to go to say goodbye." ”

Hua Rongying said, "Let's talk about it then." ”

Neither of them delved into the issue anymore and lived quietly.

But at night, he put down his cold face and dragged her in when he bathed, which was especially tossing.

He was full of nightmares, so he hugged her and lay in his arms, stroking her hair, over and over again.

He suddenly said, "I had a dream yesterday that you were gone and never looked back. ”

Hua Rongying said: "What kind of dream is this, where can you go in the backyard of this deep palace." ”

"Yes, you understand that you can't go anywhere, you can live a little bit and live a serious life, can't you?"

Hua Langying felt that she had to explain: "I am very peaceful, and I have been living a serious life, has the emperor listened to any slander?"

Xuanyuan Ling Heng took a deep breath, was silent for a long time, and said, "Are you still blaming me?"

"What's the blame on the emperor?"

Xuanyuan Ling Heng paused and said, "It's strange that I favor Feng Guifei. ”

Hua Langying shook his head: "I can't do such a stupid thing, in fact, what kind of fate a person bears has no inevitable relationship with others, and fate is caused by himself." ”

"Doesn't it matter if I'm okay?"

"Does it matter then? I am happy or sad, like it or not, after all, the emperor can't understand it. ”

"So whether I'm happy or unhappy doesn't have anything to do with you?"

"The emperor enjoys the charm of the harem, I'm afraid I can't appreciate Tongxi, and if I can't save Feng Guifei that day and lose my life for this irrelevant person, the emperor won't feel my sorrow. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng straightened her face, looked at her and said, "Do you think I will really want your life for Concubine Feng?"

"It's not important, I don't want to be a problem. ”

"So what's important? Why do you always have so many surprises? Why do you want to be so kind to me?"

Hua Rongying was taken aback, and wanted to get up, but was suppressed by him, Hua Rongying said: "Your Majesty, where did the concubine displease you again?"

Xuanyuan Ling Heng opened his mouth slightly but couldn't say it for a while, but he thought that a woman who would not be sad for him, would not be upset because of his disposal, and showed a light smile to him, didn't take him to heart at all.

"If you're not happy, you can tell me. ”

"I ...... Not unhappy. ”

Xuanyuan Ling Heng stroked her face, ruffled her hair, and said, "Have you ever loved me?"

"What?" Hua Langying met his gaze, nodded again, and said with a smile: "Love, the emperor is wise and martial, how can he not love?"

Xuanyuan Ling Heng hugged her at this time, stroked her head, and said lingeringly: "I ...... I...... I love you, and I love you. ”

So, she couldn't understand his love at all, all she saw was that he liked to come to sleep with her.

"I don't blame you, you can tell me if you like it or not. ”

"And then?"

"What, then?"

"I said I liked it and I didn't like it, so what?"

“……”

"I don't have so many likes and dislikes, and I can't change anything by talking about it, which only adds to my troubles. ”

"How so?"

"I love the emperor so much, of course I like to be the emperor's wife, right?"

“…… Being a queen is not so simple, don't tell others, it's dangerous. ”

"I know, the emperor said that I can say what I just said, otherwise I won't even say it to the emperor, and I won't say it in the future. ”

As she spoke, she yawned, drooped her eyelids, and fell asleep.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, he could see that she knew that he was "incompetent", so she began to ignore her desires, likes and dislikes and emotional reactions, and lived a harmonious life. In fact, she can get it, she is so smart and so beautiful, but she doesn't show what a concubine should be.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng broke free from the kind of frustrating little man's thinking again, his handsome eyes were cold, and he hated in his heart: You don't even bother to give me a little normal woman's emotions! I am rich all over the world, can't I conquer you as a woman? If I can't, how can there be a man in the world who is capable?

……

Hua Rongying fortunately didn't take the man's words in bed seriously, she really didn't feel any "love", he often had a cold face, loved to find fault with her, and still needed to walk around the harem.

In the previous lives of the old fish's soul, the man she remembered was affectionate and gentle, humorous, romantic and knew how to please her, even if it was like a flower, it was better than this.

It's like doing a cloze in the blanks, and it's hard for Hua Rongying to fill in the blanks in her heart as a standard answer. Maybe it's not easy for someone like him.

Is there any variability in her plan to confuse the monarch with beauty, support the family, hook up with adulterers/husbands, befriend foreign courts, give birth to princes, and help her son to become the queen mother?

She didn't mean to be a bad guy like this, according to the heroine of the popular modern TV series "XX Biography". Although she doesn't watch this kind of TV series, she loves to watch bad reviews, so she guesses most of the plot.

She is now only beautiful and confusing, hooking up with adulterers/husbands. There's a long way to go.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the hundred officials entered the palace to pay homage, and after the New Year's ceremony, Xuanyuan Lingheng announced that he was happy with the news of the emperor's fourth son. and said that Feng Guifei had a meritorious child, and was named Concubine Hui, and when Chaoyun General Feng Shan was also overjoyed, Feng Guifei was his daughter.

Although the other people in the harem who have granddaughters and daughters and sisters are jealous in their hearts, they can't oppose it.

However, the emperor then announced the promotion of Lady Mingyue to "Concubine De", which surprised the ministers of the palace. Xuanyuan Ling Heng loves and hates Hua Langying, but he can't let go of it in his heart, and he still has to honor the title of "Concubine De", although he will be cold to her, he is a little afraid of his wife in his heart, but he must maintain his husband and prestige.

The imperial historian came out of the column and admonished, and said: "The emperor, Mrs. Mingyue has been in the palace for less than a year, and there are no heirs. ”

Xie Zhixiao was also taken aback, as the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, he himself was named the Marquis of Su Yi, and now although he is not leading troops outside, he can go to court. When Xie Zhixiao wanted to wax the moon, the emperor punished her, and at this time she was honored again. But I think they have an awkward relationship between lovers, otherwise how could the emperor have hurriedly hugged her in the first place. If a man in this world can marry her, how can he not love her.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng expected this, and said: "On that day, Feng Guifei fell and gave birth prematurely, but it was difficult to die on the front line, and the medical woman was not proficient in medical skills. Feng Guifei was promoted to the title of living and was promoted, and Mrs. Mingyue should be rewarded. ”

Yu Shi said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Mingyue has been ranked as the fourth lady, and it is not too late to give birth to the imperial heir, and she can be rewarded separately." ”

"The ministers seconded!" a few more courtiers bowed.

Xie Zhixiao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Mingyue's merit is not enough to be promoted to the title of 'Concubine De', but on the day of receiving the envoy from Tubo, when the school competition was held, Mrs. Mingyue helped me win the victory of the warriors. ”

Zhenguo Gong Xie Qingjiang couldn't help but look at his son, he was really surprised, this harem matter, his son would speak in the court. The Xie family is also a relative of the emperor, and the mother of Zhenguo Gong is Xuanyuan Lingheng's aunt and grandmother, the eldest princess Xuanyuan Xilin. Xie Jiaronghua has always been cautious, and rarely speaks explicitly on such occasions.

Xuanyuan Ling Heng said with a smile: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, the last time Mrs. Mingyue maintained my face and stabilized the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I have not been rewarded, and now I have made another contribution." And she is honest and pure, she fights with her life to save another concubine and the prince, who else in the harem can do it?"

At this time, the ministers also knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and the Xie family supported it, but I was afraid that many people in the clan would support it. And the ministers who have been to Chang'an know that Mrs. Mingyue has a good relationship with Jingyun Villa and the Sima family, and it is really stubborn to offend her, and it is not good for him.

……

Feng Guifei received the holy decree of Jin, and naturally she was overjoyed to accept the holy decree, and finally ushered in a turning point in her life. She thought she could be named a concubine or a lady, but she didn't expect to be named one of the four concubines "Concubine Hui" all of a sudden.

Generally speaking, it is normal to seal a concubine from the second rank. And being named the fourth lady and the fourth concubine, then the position is stable, with and without favor, in the harem, usually not too sad, as long as you are careful, even the queen is not afraid.

Feng Guifei, no, it should be called Concubine Feng Hui, she is in confinement, she can't go out of the house, so she doesn't have to go to Daming Palace to thank her, she is teasing the four princes.

Suddenly, the big palace maid Cailian came over, retreated left and right, and whispered: "Niangniang, I heard...... The ...... of Yuehua Palace"

Concubine Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "How is she?"

Cai Lian said: "I heard that because of his meritorious service in the Western Capital last time, this time he saved the mother and the prince, and was named 'Concubine De'." ”

Concubine Feng Hui's eyes darkened, she gave birth to a prince after nine deaths, and even let that person choose a bargain. Concubine Feng Hui is known for her success, the emperor's heirs are not abundant, the only prince who has a high-ranking concubine is the eldest prince, the second and third princes' biological mothers have a low status and die after giving birth, the two princes are not in good health, the second prince is raised in Yang Shufei, and the third prince is raised in Cui Roufei.

That person saved her, and gave her confidence and belief at that time, but the person is in the harem, and En may not remember it, but the obstacle must be remembered. She also took advantage of Hua Liangyuan's head to go back to Fengyi Palace to ask for peace, attracting the jealousy and jealousy of most of the concubines, and sent the news of pregnancy to the queen. After that, Hua Liangyuan quickly became Mrs. Mingyue, accounting for ninety percent of the favor, and also attracted the attention and jealousy of other concubines.

Concubine Feng Hui looked at the four princes and thought to herself, no matter how favored she is now, the foundation of the Hua family is shallow, and who will have the last laugh may not be able to say.

Queen Wang almost fainted when she got the news, Feng gave birth once, and there were actually two four concubines, and now the four concubines are all occupied.

Seeing that Queen Wang was sad, Mama Zhang next to her said: "Queen Mother, you must endure it, take care of your body, give birth to a son-in-law, and no one can go past Niangniang." ”

Queen Wang has only one daughter, when she gave birth, Xuanyuan Lingheng had not yet ascended the throne, and was marching north with Xuanyuan Linghao, the king of Jin, Xuanyuan Lingheng died for nine lives, and Queen Wang was frightened all day long, and her body could not be moved, and it was difficult to give birth to the eldest princess, and then she did not raise it well, and injured her body. When her body is a little better, she becomes the queen, and the harem will be even more lively, first there is her husband's life-saving benefactor, the young and beautiful Liu Yi, and then there is the world's first beauty, Wei Wushuang, the eldest lady of the Wei family.

Queen Wang said bitterly: "Since the Hua clan entered the palace, where is the emperor still looking at the palace?"

Mama Zhang said: "Wei Guifei was so popular back then, it's over, although this Hua clan is favored, the foundation is shallow. And she has long been the target of public criticism and does not know how to rein in, and the more rampant she is now, the worse she will fall in the future. ”

Queen Wang said: "Mama is only afraid that she doesn't know how powerful the Hua family is, and she looks stupid and offends everyone, but she can make the emperor not blame is her ability, and her young beauty is the capital that can be used." To put it mildly, they are also harem women, and if they are not offended, they are also offended, and they are born with this kind of opposing position, and there is nothing to make friends with. As the queen, the concubines below want to flatter the palace, but so what, what can the palace get? I heard that the Hua family, the eldest lady of Jingyun Villa, and the princess of Hui Xuehua are all close friends, look, this is a useful person, and she has not let go of any of them. The emperor asked Gao Lianxi to follow her, this is for the palace to see, but also for others to see. ”

Mama Zhang comforted: "Niangniang, the slave understands your suffering. ”

"And Concubine Feng, it's so good, she was actually born......"

"Niang Niang is cautious!"

The queen sighed and said, "Well, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

Hearing the sound outside, it seemed that the eldest princess was coming, and the master and servant stopped talking.
