--------------Fengming Palace-----------------
Bai Yu waited for Li Xiaoxi to get up, Li Xiaoxi had already dressed, but she was slowly dragging out the time.
Bai Yu filled Li Xiaoxi with another cup of tea and looked at the sunshine outside: "It's already noon for the Queen Mother, aren't we going?" If Niangniang didn't want to go, presumably Concubine Yun wouldn't dare to say anything. ”
Li Xiaoxi put down the tea and said slowly: "It's just swimming in the lake, it's nothing, even if the mourning family is late, no one dares to say anything, but the mourning family is also idle in the Fengming Palace, and taking a look at it is also to give face to Yun Guifei when he comes back." ”
"Then why doesn't the Queen Mother go?"
"This naturally has the intention of the mourning family, and the mourning family wants them to know that the mourning family is not easy to mess with." Some time ago, the turmoil caused by her and Mo Yu still caused some impact, and the concubines in the harem all began to deal with her, not only making things difficult for her everywhere when she usually asked for peace, but now he also made these things to give her a threat, but who would he be afraid of.
The scenery of the Huxin Pavilion is very beautiful, it is a great beauty in the imperial garden, when Li Xiaoxi and Bai Yu came to the Huxin Pavilion together, it was already full of people.
Yun Guifei is wearing a large peony emerald green smoke veil Bixia Luo today, a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt mopping the floor, and a thin gold silk smoke emerald green veil. The low-hanging sideburns are obliquely inserted and inlaid with pearls and jasper, and the flowers and moon look out of the water hibiscus, and the whole person looks really neat.
This is the most uniform day for the palace concubines of the harem, looking at so many concubines of various styles, Li Xiaoxi really sighed that Mo Yu was very blessed.
There are small jasper types, rich peony flower types, and quiet reading people.
But the thought that these were her future competitors made her heart uneasy. The people in the harem are all here, and naturally there will be a fight, so isn't this the beginning?
"I heard that the emperor temporarily handed over the right to counsel the queen mother to manage the harem to my sister, and my sister is here to congratulate my sister first." Lou Guiji said in a weird manner behind Yun Guifei.
She can't be said to be angry when she says this, she is a noble concubine of the second grade, and she Xue Bitao is a noble concubine from the third grade, but the difference in rank between the two is one level, but relying on the emperor's favor, let her get the right to this harem, how can she not be angry!
Yun Guifei was also quite annoyed when she heard this, but although she was annoyed, her face did not change: "Sister Xie Jiyan, my sister must strive to keep this right by my sister's side." ”
"This tone is clearly provocative, it seems that this Yun Gui Concubine is not very ambitious." Li Xiaoxi, who was watching from the sidelines, was naturally a bystander.
Yun Guifei snorted coldly.
Just as the two were talking to each other, a sedan chair in Huxin Pavilion came slowly, and a child wearing the prince's costume ran down from the car.
This makes Li Xiaoxi a little confused, Lord Wang? Child? It seems that there is no such number one person in the Star Country.
"Who is this Bai Yu, why have I never heard of it?" Li Xiaoxi turned to Bai Yu beside him and asked.
"He is the child adopted by the first emperor, the first emperor named Mo Hua, the origin of this child, the explanation given by the first emperor, this is the orphan of the first emperor's brother, the first emperor has a deep love for his brother, so he adopted him, but he has been raised in the fief and has only recently returned."
"Oh, I see." Li Xiaoxi watched the child walk towards her step by step.
"The retainer greets the Queen Mother." Mo Hua smiled at Li Xiaoxi, obviously wanting to have a good relationship with Li Xiaoxi.
Li Xiaoxi doesn't have much feeling for this child, she is a little jealous of these royal children, saying that she has watched too many palace fighting dramas or has recently experienced it herself, anyway, she has no afterthoughts about this.
"Queen Mother, everyone is here, let's get on the boat first." Yun Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, waving a handkerchief and exhaling. The wind by the lake was blowing, and her hair was slightly raised in her ears, but she looked extraordinarily beautiful and made the concubines jealous.
Recently, the emperor has favored Yun Gui Concubine, and she has the most opportunities to sleep, and she is one of the most proud concubines in the harem recently.
The pavilion in the middle of the lake is very beautiful and atmospheric, and the scale is also very large, and when you get off the boat, when you walk to the center of the pavilion, you are walking on the ground, and your feet are also very steady.
This ancient building technology is really superb, even modern people are not so easy to do, this lake pavilion must be regarded as an island-like existence, the bottom must be connected to the bottom of the lake, Li Xiaoxi sat down on the highest seat.
At this time, I found that an uninvited guest appeared, "Why did Wang Jingya, who was beaten into the harem by her, come out, could it be that Mo Yu released it?" "After this harem, Mo Yu's holy decree can overpower her edict.
However, Wang Jingya's complexion didn't look very good, and her pale face was also full of turbidity in her eyes, which made Li Xiaoxi sigh that the cold palace was really a grinding place, but she was really curious about how she came out.
Li Xiaoxi said with a look of surprise: "The mourning family remembers that Ya Zhaoyi shouldn't be here." Could it be that Ya Zhaoyi disobeyed the will of the mourning family. ”
Today, Wang Jingya was wearing a plain and loose clothes, and after listening to Li Xiaoxi's question, she said respectfully: "It was the emperor who released the concubine, probably because he felt that the concubine was pitiful." Now Wang Jingya has faded from her pride and feels that she is about to go to the green lantern to accompany the ancient Buddha.
"Oh, I see, Ya Zhaoyi can't be like this in the future, otherwise the emperor's kindness will not be sent twice."
After finishing speaking, the whole environment was cold, Li Xiaoxi felt bored, took the teacup and walked to the waterfront position, it was very cool here, and the slightly moist wind blew in his ears, and it was finally much quieter.
"The Queen Mother must not like to stay in a crowded place." Lou Guiji didn't know when she stood behind Li Xiaoxi.
Li Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "It's okay, but I prefer to be quiet." ”
Lou Guiji glanced at the lake: "Queen Mother, look, there are still fish in this lake, you see how satisfied these fish are after eating fish food, but if the concubine keeps feeding them, they will keep eating until they die." ”
"The mourning family doesn't know what Lou Guiji means by this?" Li Xiaoxi originally wanted to stay for a while and leave, but she didn't expect to kill a Lou Guiji halfway and keep playing dumb riddles with her.
Lou Guiji saw that Li Xiaoxi didn't want to say more to her, and suddenly said: "Isn't the Queen Mother worried that the rights in her hands will be snatched away?" ”
"This seems to be a matter of the mourning family, Lou Guiji is not too lenient."
"Queen Mother, the emperor has handed over the power to Yun Guifei and has been so fond of Yun Guifei recently, isn't this revealing a message?"
"What's the message?"
"Naturally, the emperor wants to establish the message, the queen mother, you think that the status of this Yun Gui Concubine's father and brother in the court is not low, and there are faint signs of promotion. If she becomes the emperor, not only will your position be in danger, but you will also have to consider your father and brother. ”
Hearing these words, Li Xiaoxi's face suddenly turned cold, but she didn't want to know what the purpose of this Lou Guiji said this, and in what capacity this Lou Guiji came to talk to her.
The heart of the noble concubine on this floor is too big, and Li Xiaoxi doesn't want to say anything about this kind of concubine who puts her identity too high and can't think clearly.
"Doesn't the Queen Mother want an ally? Concubines are naturally the best choice. ”
Li Xiaoxi smiled lightly and said, "I don't know if Lou Guiji has heard that the harem can't be in politics, and the mourning family doesn't need allies." ”
Li Xiaoxi thought like this, but her body was suddenly bumped, and when she was trying to stabilize her footing, she added another weight to her unstable body.
With a "bang", the lake splashed upward, and Li Xiaoxi fell into the water all of a sudden.
