His Majesty passed Feng Ling into the palace for breakfast, and not long after Feng Ling arrived at Ruyi Palace, the royal breakfast was carried over by several eunuchs. Feng Ling sat in the main hall of the main hall, and there was a round table carved of mahogany on the right side of the main hall. A eunuch stood at the table, took out the jade plates containing food in the food box, he gently arranged them in turn, and when the round table was full of jade plates, several eunuchs bowed and retreated.

Feng Ling stood up and looked at the breakfast on the table, she pointed out a few things and said to Hongmei: "This concubine will use these things, the three of you will pick some of your favorite food, and reward the others to the palace people outside, don't waste it."

Hongmei took the food that the three of them ate, and asked the other palace people to come in and take the rest of the food. Feng Ling sat at the table to eat, and she said while eating: "Extravagance and waste also delay the concubine's food." "Everyone should not have heard it, this kind of disrespectful words is that if someone goes to inform, they will not be good.

Just after breakfast, when the palace people were packing up their belongings, a group of palace people walked towards Ruyi Palace. A eunuch guarding the gate of Ruyi Palace hurriedly walked into the main hall and saluted Feng Ling: "Princesses Bing, Concubine Niangniang is here." Feng Ling said: "Please concubine Niangniang." ”

Feng Ling took Hongmei out of the main hall, and when she walked to the gate of Ruyi Palace, Concubine Shu walked in with a group of maids and eunuchs. Feng Ling greeted her, she made a junior salute, and said, "Concubine Niangniang." Shufei Le helped Feng Ling up, she smiled and said, "I'm bothered, you should let you have a good rest." ”

Feng Ling held Concubine Shu's hand, and the two walked side by side to the main hall. Feng Ling said: "It was supposed to be Erchen who went to see Concubine Shuniang, but Erchen was rude." ”

Concubine Shu is a little blessed, her round face and body are also round, it may be that she is no longer contested for favor, and she is also calm about her own appearance, she is more dignified now.

She said in the tone of an elder: "Ling'er, if you enter the palace and lack anything, tell the palace, and tell the palace what you want to eat." Feng Ling nodded in agreement.

She invited the lady concubine to take a seat, let the tea be served, and the two talked about the time of a cup of tea, and the lady said: "This palace is going to say hello to the concubine, does Ling'er want to go with the palace to meet the concubine today?"

Feng Ling looked at Hongmei who was cleaning up the palace with the palace maids, and she was idle in the palace, so it was better to go out for a walk. She helped Concubine Shu, and the two went out of the Ruyi Palace together, with a large group of maids and eunuchs. One of the big eunuchs of Concubine Shu ran to Zhaoyang Palace to inform the concubine Niangniang, and then Concubine Shu and the crown princess would go to see her.

Concubine Shu pointed to the nearest road along the way and told Feng Ling that Ruyi Palace came out and walked left through Meilin to Zhaoyang Palace. Feng Ling thought in her heart, she hadn't seen a beautiful concubine like a fairy.

When the group walked to the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, a eunuch stepped forward, saluted respectfully, bent over and said, "Welcome to the lady concubine and the crown princess." The concubine is waiting for the two of you in the main hall, please go with you. Concubine Shu nodded, she took Feng Ling's hand and followed the eunuch into Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhaoyang Palace, such as the Yi Palace, is twice as large, and there are rows of peony trees planted on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and the half-human-high peony trees are playing flower buds, and the sun will warm up for a few days, and this peony will bloom. Concubine Shu saw Feng Ling looking at the peony tree, and she said, "In a few days, let's come here to see the peony flowers." His Majesty ordered the Yangzhou Imperial Merchant Wang family to collect every variety of peonies in the world, planted in this courtyard, it is said that this year there are varieties of two-color peony flowers, one plant is worth a thousand gold......"

"Sister, my sister is unwell and didn't come to greet you, so don't be angry with your sister. A delicate voice interrupted Concubine Shu's words.

Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "Oh, the concubine is killing the concubine." She crouched down to salute, and a pair of small hands grabbed her.

"Sister, what are you doing, don't salute. ”

"The rules of the palace must be observed, let the concubine be courteous. ”

The concubine was helpless, and the concubine and the crown princess saluted her respectfully. The concubine held Concubine Shu with one hand and Feng Ling in front of the other. She looked at Feng Ling and said with a smile, "This is a little beauty." ”

Feng Ling hurriedly said: "In front of the mother, the retainer is a tofu roll, the mother concubine is fragrant, and the fairy and jade appearance make the retainer envious." In her opinion, the appearance of the concubine is really unparalleled in heaven and earth, and there is something more beautiful than the concubine, but she is not as charming, she is charming, and she is not as delicate...... The concubine is beautiful and delicate, with charm from the bones.

The concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, she thought to herself, this is really a beautiful and cheerful little woman.

Concubine Shu pretended to be unhappy and said, "You two boast about each other, forgetting my existence. ”

The concubine shook her hand and coquettishly: "Good sister, you can forgive your sister for being snubbing." ”

Feng Ling saw that the concubine was seated, and after the concubine sat down on the left, she sat on the seat on the right. A group of palace maids brought tea and gently placed it on the small coffee table in their hands.

The concubine asked the palace people to retreat outside the door, and she said softly, "I have it again." ”

Concubine Shufei's hand holding the teacup retracted, she stood up, took a few steps forward, and asked excitedly, "Really?

The concubine said, "It's been two months. His Majesty said that giving birth to a child hurts the body, and if I want to give birth, I will not have another child. ”

Concubine Shu retreated and sat down gently: "Your Majesty really loves you." It's good that you have two children. ”

Feng Ling listened to them, drank tea slowly, and didn't say a word.

The concubine chuckled: "Sister, we have a total of three children." ”

Concubine Shu nodded: "The children in the palace are not easy to raise, especially boys. Sister really hopes that you, this is a daughter, and she can be by your side. ”

"I also think this baby is a daughter, but if it's a boy, our Zhang family will be more relaxed. ”

She reached out and picked up the teacup, uncovered the lid, she blew lightly on the tea, and put the cup to her mouth. Feng Ling stood up from the seat with the teacup she was drinking, quickly moved to the upper seat, reached out and grabbed the cup from which the concubine was drinking, and sniffed it. The concubine and concubine were stunned by Feng Ling's behavior, and didn't understand why this little girl acted like this.

Feng Ling quickly changed the concubine's teacup, and she returned to her seat. She whispered to the two ladies who looked at her in amazement: "This tea has been drugged. ”

The concubine was shocked, and the concubine was frightened: "Who, who is so bold?"

Feng Ling pointed to the tea and said, "Niangniang will give this to Your Majesty." If today's incident didn't happen, let Your Majesty investigate it slowly. ”

"Guifei Niangniang, you are pregnant now, drinking this medicine will make the child stillborn, and the adult will also die of failure. ”

Concubine Shu scolded angrily: "It must be that evil woman, how many lives she has killed, she will definitely go to eighteen layers of hell in the future." ”

Feng Ling nodded, she thought to herself, the queen's behavior is indeed going to the eighteenth layer of hell, and she will never be reincarnated again.

The concubine was frightened and said, "The people here are all placed by His Majesty, how can there be people who have been sold and poisoned?"

Concubine Shu sneered: "Whether it's for money or being forced, there's always a reason." ”

Feng Ling said softly: "Don't startle the snake, don't know anything, let people think that you have drunk medicine." ”

Concubine Shu was anxious: "Has my sister drunk it before, and has it affected the child in her womb?"

Although the concubine is not her own sister, in the heart of the concubine, the concubine is closer than the two sisters in her own family. The concubine always took care of the Zhang family, and her father rose step by step, all with the help of the concubine. Now that he has the power of his harem, he no longer needs to look at other people's faces to act, and he lives a chic and free life because of the concubine's kind words in front of His Majesty. If there is no concubine, Concubine Shu will only have a more and more difficult life in the deep palace.

Feng Ling stepped forward to check the pulse of the concubine, and then said, "Niangniang's body is non-toxic, and today is the first time to take medicine." ”

The concubine and the concubine were relieved, and she said to the concubine, "My sister brought the princess today to save me." She turned to Feng Ling and said, "You saved me and my child, and I will repay you for your kindness." ”

Feng Ling shook her head: "Niangniang, you don't have to be polite, the child in your belly is also my husband's younger brother or sister." ”

The concubine and the concubine calmed down for a while, and the three of them talked about interesting things in the palace when nothing happened, and after a while, laughter sounded in the palace.
