The smile on Concubine Feng's face was very kind, and she patiently explained to her two daughters: "This is the seventh lady of Lin Xiangfu, and she is also the niece of Concubine Yu. The mother concubine mentioned to you this morning that the one who skillfully defeated the Nanyue princess with her ingenuity is this Sister Lin. ”

The eyes of the two little princesses looking at Lin Wan immediately sparkled, full of admiration. Holding hands, he walked to Lin Wan's side, looked up at her and shouted, "Sister Lin, you are so amazing!"

Lin Wan bowed her knees and said with a smile: "The fourth princess and the sixth princess have won the award." ”

And Zhou Lingqian, the fifth princess standing beside Emperor Liu's concubine, snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Look at the two of you who are unproductive, you have lost your identity as a princess in vain." ”

Zhou Lingyun and Zhou Lingxi turned their heads and glared at Zhou Lingqian coldly, and they didn't reply, and silently walked back to Feng Concubine and stood up, Feng Concubine was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say.

The queen put down the tea bowl in her hand and said lightly: "Concubine Feng, didn't you hear the emperor say yesterday that this matter has been revealed, don't you mention it again? This is related to the face of the princess of Nanyue and the relationship between the two countries, and you actually forgot it so quickly?"

Concubine Feng's face changed greatly, she knelt down with a "plop", and said hurriedly: "Please forgive the queen!" As she spoke, she leaned over and kowtowed.

Zhou Lingyun and Zhou Lingxi saw that their biological mother was like this, so they also knelt down and said in unison: "Please don't punish your mother and concubine." ”

The queen's face was still gloomy, she looked coldly at the three people kneeling in front of her, glanced at the other concubines and nobles, no one dared to come out to plead, only Zhou Lingwei walked out slowly, knelt in front of the queen, and said: "Queen Mother, Concubine Feng was careless for a while, please ask the Queen Mother to be gracious! Fortunately, I only told the two younger sisters, and it didn't make a big mistake." Although the two younger sisters are young, they also know that they are wrong, and they will never bring up the matter again. Today's first day of the Lunar New Year coincides with the day of the emperor's grandmother's fasting, and all palaces are also vegetarian today, and the queen mother is merciful, and she will definitely not want to punish Concubine Feng today. ”

The queen wanted to make an example of the monkey and give Concubine Yu and Concubine De a wake-up call, don't lose her sense of proportion in front of the emperor just because Lin Wan and Zhou Lingwei were in the limelight yesterday, and forget who is the master of the harem! Concubine Feng, for the sake of the third princess helping you intercede, I will spare you this time, go back and teach the two princesses well, don't be open-mouthed, if you break into a big disaster, the palace will not be able to protect you, understand?" The queen paused slightly, saw that Feng Concubine and the two princesses nodded again and again, and continued: "However, it is not that you will not be punished completely, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." Fasting for one month from today. Concubine Feng, this palace will punish you, can you be convinced?"

Feng Concubine hurriedly leaned down, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she kowtowed and thanked: "Feng Concubine is willing to be punished! Thank you for the queen's kindness, and thank the third princess for interceding." ”

The queen waved her hand, glanced at Concubine Yu and Concubine De, and said: "Okay, this palace will not investigate who told Concubine Feng about last night's incident, thinking that there were so many people at the banquet yesterday, you will not admit it, this matter will end here, go back and take care of the people around you, don't spread it to the emperor, it will anger Long Yan." ”

The concubines stood up and curtsied, and said, "Follow the teachings of the queen!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth princes have arrived!"

Lin Wan raised his eyes and saw that the crown prince Zhou Tianhong, who was wearing a purple brocade robe, strode in with his signature warm smile on his face. followed by Zhou Tianming, the second prince in the blue brocade robe, and Zhou Tianzheng, the third prince in the red brocade robe.

Lin Wan was very curious about Zhou Tianzheng, who was dressed in red, last night, but she didn't look closely, and when she saw it today, she really looked feminine, her beauty was better than that of a woman, her appearance was similar to that of a queen, but she was a little more beautiful than a queen.

Although Zhou Tianzheng and Zhou Tianhong are both from the queen, their appearance and temperament are very different, and the queen also has a headache when she sees this little son, and she only knows how to recite poems on weekdays. I had a poetry meeting with those poor students, and I got together all day long.

Because all the men in the poetry club are men, and Zhou Tianzheng's appearance is too feminine, so that there have long been rumors that the three princes are good men.

The fourth prince, Zhou Tiankai, was born by Concubine Shu, a burly figure, and served as the deputy commander of the Yulin Army. The fifth prince born by Concubine De died early before he was seven years old, and the specific reason involved royal secrets, which Lin Wan had not heard. The sixth prince Zhou Tianzhong is from Wei Concubine, fifteen this year, the same year as Zhou Tianqi, but half a head shorter than Zhou Tianqi, with a wooden temperament, he married the sixth princess in the spring of this year, and moved out of the palace to open another mansion.

The eighth prince Zhou Tianyi is eight years old this year and is from Liu Concubine, and the ninth prince Zhou Tianxing is seven years old this year and is from the imperial concubine. The two little princes are both young, calm and calm, and do not have the innocence of children.

Several princes have extraordinary appearances and different temperaments, and after meeting the ladies respectively, they all stood beside their biological mothers and whispered greetings, listening to their biological mothers' earnest concern and advice. Only Zhou Tianqi stood in the hall, silent.

Concubine Yu smiled slightly and said, "Qi'er, come over and let Aunt Yu take a good look, this child will be sick as soon as he returns to the palace, and I haven't been able to take a good look." ”

Zhou Tianqi came over in response and shouted: "Aunt Yu!" Because Concubine Yu and Concubine Chen are good friends, Zhou Tianqi has called Concubine Jade as Aunt Jade like Lin Wan since he was a child, and now because of the relationship between the two, he feels closer in his heart.

"Good boy, Aunt Yu is relieved to see that you are all well. When you were a child, you were cute enough to play in my palace, but now that you're older, you're estranged from Aunt Yu. I haven't been in my palace for so long. Concubine Yu reproached half-truthfully.

"Aunt Yu is too careful, she is really busy with business, and she doesn't have time to come out, and the apocalypse is empty to visit Aunt Yu often. Zhou Tianqi rarely opened his mouth to explain a few more words.

Concubine Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the palace was quiet, the crown prince Zhou Tianhong said: "The weather is good today, it is rare that there is nothing to do in the court, and I went down to the court early." Would you like to go to Lin San Temple to give the Buddha a pillar of incense?"

The second prince first expressed his approval, and said: "Big brother is so careful, he has been so busy these days that he has not even left the palace, so he is going to relax today." ”

Liu Fangyao also said: "Yes, I accompany my grandmother to Lingshan Temple on the first day of every month, and today because I didn't go to the palace, I feel uncomfortable, so I won't be ashamed of the Buddha." As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and made an expression of begging the Buddha not to blame.

The crown prince turned his head to look at the other princes, the third prince nodded, the fourth prince had official business and couldn't go, the sixth prince said that there was something in the palace and couldn't go, the seventh prince didn't say anything, and the eighth prince and the ninth prince were too young to go together.

"Where's Sister Wan'er?" Zhou Tianhong looked at Lin Wan, and the expectation in his eyes attracted everyone's attention. (To be continued.) )
