Chapter 63: The Sycamore

In the New Year, the palace banquet was held in Zichen Palace, but this year Su Wanxi was unable to attend due to Feng Po's affairs.

In the Zichen Palace, Sheng sang and danced, and the biggest focus of the normal banquet was undoubtedly Concubine Chen, who was about to give birth, and countless people's eyes were secretly staring at her belly, not knowing whether it was a man or a woman who was born.

At the banquet, the concubines also tried their best to take a look at Bo Sheng. And what is unexpected is the Hua Concubine Li Ruyue, who has always been inconspicuous.

Li Ruyue was dressed in white and vividly performed a song of the Nine Heavens Dust and Snow Dance, which shocked all the men in the audience, and even made Shen Wen feel sorry for this peony fairy who had been forgotten by him for a long time, so he summoned Concubine Hua to sleep that night.

Ruyue's dance was planned by Su Wanxi personally, Su Wanxi knew Shen Wen's temperament very well, he liked freshness and excitement, but his heart was still quite nostalgic, so that Ruyue offered this fairy dance, just to remind Shen Wen of the feeling of seeing her in Peony for the first time.

As for Ruyue's bed, Su Wanxi also concocted a special fascination incense for her, as long as Shen Wen smelled the fragrance on her body more, she would definitely be confused and unable to help herself.

At night, the cold wind was blowing, and the stove was burning in Su Wanxi's room, which was extremely warm.

"Why, has it been too lonely to be alone in an empty room lately?" came an evil voice.

Su Wanxi didn't look back, lay quietly on the chair, closed her eyes and said, "This is not right, I don't want to flatter your father every day." ”

Shen Mingxu smiled and leaned over to Su Wanxi's side and said, "What's going on with that?"

Su Wanxi opened her eyes, propped her head and hooked up a weird smile and said, "Late spring~"

Shen Mingxu raised his eyebrows and said, "But you haven't been able to get close to your father in the past few months." ”

Su Wanxi smiled faintly: "I naturally have the means." ”

Shen Mingxu stepped forward and hugged her and said, "This king knows that you must have a way." ”

Su Wanxi also greeted HE: "This time, the prince is not just here to ask about this matter, right?"

Shen Mingxu said with a smile: "This king knows that he can't escape the eyes of Xiao Xixi, this king knows that it is very sad that something like that happened in your family, but General Su ...... it."

"Don't worry, there is no problem on my brother's side, the talisman is in my brother's hand, and you can do it at any time when you want to move. If you have time another day, you might as well meet him secretly. Su Wanxi said, and said, "But, what should I do on the queen's side, without the phoenix talisman, I am afraid that the transfer of troops in the palace will ......."

Shen Mingxu smiled confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, seeing that my father can't do it, the queen will definitely not be able to hold back." As long as she dares to move, the phoenix charm is in your pocket. ”

Su Wanxi raised her eyebrows: "Is it?"

Shen Mingxu smiled contemptuously: "The queen has been hiding the phoenix talisman, if it weren't for the phoenix talisman that has never appeared, it must have been mine." ”

"How?"

"You don't have to worry about this little shyness~" Shen Mingxu smiled evilly and began to be restless.

Su Wanxi did not refuse, but secretly thought in her heart, Shen Mingxu was confident about the ownership of the phoenix talisman, which could only mean one thing, he must have placed eyeliner by the queen's side......

The next day, in the Renming Palace, Su Wanxi and Concubine Chen sat by the stove and ate refreshments.

"The little guy in my stomach kicks me all the time. Concubine Chen stroked her stomach and smiled.

Su Wanxi took a sip of weak tea and said with a smile: "It's really happy." ”

Concubine Chen nodded slightly, but her face slowly became solemn: "But right away, isn't the bloody storm coming?"

Su Wanxi had a hint of joy in her eyes: "I really hope that day will come soon." ”

Concubine Chen frowned: "In this matter, if one detail goes wrong, I'm afraid the result will be unexpected." ”

"Heh, as long as it comes to the throne, they ...... You can't escape!"

After returning to the palace, the emperor ordered someone to take care of Wanxi day and night, and her body was well recuperated, and it didn't take long for the injuries on her body to be almost healed. After Su Wanxi's body improved, Shen Wen felt even more sorry, for fear that she would be hurt again.

In an instant, the autumn leaves are scattered, and in the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.

In the early winter, the grass and trees are sluggish, the cold wind goes back and forth in the imperial city, the air is dry, and although the climate is cold, it has not yet snowed.

In order to comfort the harem, Shen Wen specially explained to the queen and asked her to prepare a lot of winter clothes, and each person raised the monthly salary, and the concubines in the harem were happy. The queen also took this opportunity to call many concubines to gather in Ciyuan Palace.

When Wanxi received the queen's invitation, she didn't want to give her this face, but she had nothing to do in the middle of the hibiscus, so it didn't hurt to go over and take a look.

Due to the cold weather, Wanxi took a sedan chair, and a fire was placed in the sedan car, but the small space was very warm. It was noon, and when I opened the curtain and looked down, I just saw the ministers retreating from the court and going outside the palace one after another. Wanxi looked at the crowd and noticed a few quite familiar faces, those few people, she had seen them when she was in Su Mansion, and she thought that Su Ziyou must have gathered forces in the court......

Wanxi thought to herself, chuckled and slowly lowered the curtain, took a slight breath and leaned against the wall of the car, looking at the red fire and thinking a little.

Ciyuan Palace is very lively, many concubines are invited to come, the queen burned a lot of fires in the main hall, and then personally sent new winter clothes to others. When Wanxi entered, she happened to see the queen take the purple winter coat and go towards Qiu Zi.

"Look at this purple, it is very compatible with Qiu Shunrong. The queen's eyebrows were kind, and her smile was very kind.

"It also matches my sister's name. Wanxi said lightly, slowly walked to the queen and Qiu Zi, and did not want to salute when she saw the queen.

The queen smiled unhindered: "That's right, my sister said that I didn't think about it." My sister came from Fuyuan from afar, so let's sit down and drink a cup of tea to warm up. ”

Qiu Zi saw that Wanxi didn't want to salute, her face was cold, and she deliberately didn't look at her.

"Thank you sister for your concern. Wanxi smiled lightly and walked straight towards the vacant seat.

Wanxi sat down, only to see the queen take Qiu Zi to the other side, and gave her an extra winter coat, and then said a few words of greeting, looking at Qiu Zi's appearance, she was moved a lot by the queen's concern.

"Isn't that your little sister?" a mocking voice rang in his ears inappropriately.

Wanxi looked up, it was Concubine Chen who spoke, she was still wearing a golden-threaded cloak today, and it seemed that she had just arrived.

"What does this have to do with you?" Wan Xi didn't laugh angrily, but she thought a little in her heart, Concubine Chen has always been arrogant to the outside world, and it is strange that she is willing to come for a winter coat today.

Concubine Chen took off her cloak and handed it to the palace maid behind her, then slowly sat down on the chair next to Wanxi, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "My sister is so favored, but it's a pity that my sister is alone in the empty boudoir." She deliberately raised her voice, a shrill voice that was likely to be heard by the entire hall.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the main hall cooled down in an instant, everyone's voices became quieter, and in the end, only the imminent gunsmoke of Concubine Chen and Wanxi was left in the air.

And Qiu Zi, who was chatting with the queen on the side, changed his face greatly when he heard this, and stood in place with his head down, his hands clenched into fists.

looked at Concubine Chen with a solemn look, and didn't know how to refute it for a while. Concubine Chen really underestimated herself, found the gap at a glance, and then inserted a needle.

"Sister Concubine Chen is also here!" the queen said happily as if she had nothing to do, took two winter coats, and hurried in the direction of Concubine Chen and Wanxi.

Seeing this, the others also pretended to be nothing and started chatting with each other. In the harem, many women admire this queen, who has been unfavored all year round, but she is generous, even Concubine Chen and Concubine Su are rude to her, and she can be regarded as a queen. But it is her generosity and knowledge that make the emperor impeccable to her, and the queen's position is stable.

"It's good that my sister is here. You see, this is specially chosen by this palace for the two of you. The queen said, handing over the winter clothes to Concubine Chen and Wanxi respectively, which also eased the tension in the air.

Wanxi still has a shallow smile, but her mood is extremely bad, Concubine Chen is such a sharp woman, she is really a headache. "Thank you, sister, I still have something to do in the middle of the house, so I'll leave first. After that, without waiting for the queen and Concubine Chen to say anything, Wanxi handed over the winter clothes to Qing'er and turned to leave.

Back in Fuhui Ju, Wan Xi lay on the soft couch with a cold face, this concubine Chen, if it weren't for her lack of power now, and she hadn't found out her details, otherwise she would have been eradicated earlier, why would she be so eye-catching today!

"Don't be angry, you look at the clothes, they're pretty beautiful. After a long time, Qing'er saw that Wanxi's brows had been frowning, so she dared to step forward and say a few words.

Hearing this, Wanxi took the clothes from Qing'er's hand and said slowly: "The clothes are good." A thought flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly instructed Qing'er: "Later, you will go to Ciyuan Palace again, it is estimated that everyone has dispersed at that time, you see if the queen has any extra winter clothes, just say that Fuyuan is too cold, and ask her to take a few more for me." ”

"Yes. Qing'er replied happily, thinking that Wanxi was very good to herself on weekdays, didn't she want to ask the queen for a few more pieces and then reward herself, so she took the order happily, and ran to Ciyuan Palace after a while.

Qing'er brought back three more winter coats, and told Wanxi that most of the people had left when she went, but she saw that Concubine Chen and Qiu Shunrong were still in Ciyuan Palace, and when Qing'er went in, she happened to hear the words "Huafeng Pavilion".

Coupled with Wanxi's own, a total of four winter clothes, she sent Qing'er to give the four clothes to the wives of the four people, including the Hanlin Bachelor, the Captain of the Upper Cavalry, the Captain of the Light Car, and the Doctor Tongfeng, and she didn't say the reason, but asked Qing'er to send them secretly, and she didn't want to publicize them.

Qing'er accepted the order in disappointment, but she still completed it seriously, after all, Wanxi is the master, and what she said is irrefutable as a subordinate. However, Wanxi saw Qing'er's thoughts, and gave Qing'er a few hundred taels of silver and asked her to prepare some winter clothes for the palace people in Fuyuanju.

Wanxi is almost unapproachable in the eyes of the palace people, but now in one fell swoop, she has improved her status in the eyes of the palace people, and few people in the harem still think about the minions, and the people in the middle of Furui are grateful to her.
