The king couldn't sleep all night in the Qinzheng Palace, his mind was full of the usual Chu Xue's gentle and gentle appearance in his arms, and after an unbearable night of tossing and turning, he finally barely survived the dawn. However, on the night of the second day, there were still two new concubines waiting for him, he first chose the Qutai Palace where Concubine Wan Zhao Jing was, just like the night before, after a few words of simple condolences, he returned to the Qinzheng Palace.

Concubine Wan, who was full of excitement, was suddenly dumbfounded, she wanted to take the opportunity to meet Song Chen for the first time, but the king didn't give her this opportunity, and before she could say a few words, she turned around and left. Although she is not as good as Concubine Yi, she is also a beauty after all, is her graceful virgin body so unattractive?

After the king left, Concubine Wan lay alone in the empty dormitory, and for a long time, she stomped her feet in annoyance.

On the third night, Song Chen came to Lanlin Palace.

Concubine Ning, who reapplied her makeup after bathing, was extremely nervous, she had never been alone with a foreign man, and she didn't know how to please a man in dressing, but the palace maids and grandmothers sent to her palace by the Queen Mother understood, and under their urging and guidance, she waited at the palace gate like this.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With a loud transmission, Gu Pingjiao's heart beat extremely violently. The strange man is coming, how to call him, how to salute him, whether in the mother's house or in the palace, has been repeatedly taught, but the girl is docile and timid by nature, and it is inevitable to be nervous at this time. There was no time for her to think about it, and the king of brocade robes had already stepped into the temple.

"Concubine, see, I've seen the emperor." Gu Pingjiao trembled and bowed, Xu was overthinking, a simple sentence, and practiced countless times in her mind, she finally made a mistake.

Song Chen looked down at the girl who was saluting him, and frowned.

"Get up." His tone was not full of joy or anger, but made the girl even more frightened.

She was so afraid that even the hem of her skirt was trembling slightly, seeing this, the grandmother who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, Song Chen was even more puzzled, did she look fierce? To make this girl so afraid?

When the girl stood up, Song Chen looked at her clearly, and her eyebrows wrinkled even tighter. This appearance, this size, how can it look like he is only twelve or thirteen, and it seems that he is not as tall as Song Chi.

"How old are you?" He asked in a deep voice.

He suddenly opened his mouth to ask such a question, which made the girl even more uneasy, and Gu Pingjiao trembled and whispered: "Back to the emperor, the concubine, the concubine's Mid-Autumn Festival's birthday, this year's sixteenth." ”

Sixteen? How does it look so small?

When he first heard that the queen mother had chosen a girl from her grandfather's family for her, he was already a little surprised, but when he thought that the queen mother just wanted to keep a person from her mother's family in the palace, Song Chen didn't say anything. Coupled with the fact that he saw the girl's too immature appearance at this time, and the panic when he saw him, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, but still just casually said a word of concern, and hurriedly turned around and went back to the Qinzheng Palace.

Looking at the departing figure of the king, the palace maids in the first hall couldn't help but sigh, but the protagonist Gu Pingjiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, the Queen Mother learned about the scene of Lanlin Palace last night, compared to the grandmother who sighed again and again beside Gu Pingjiao, the Queen Mother was very indifferent.

The female official Ning Yuan asked her puzzled, but saw that the Queen Mother said unhurriedly: "Concubine Ning looks small, and the emperor's reaction is reasonable, but as long as you are in the palace, do you still have no chance?" Concubine Ning is a beautiful embryo, and she will definitely amaze the palace after a few years, and in the past few years, there is nothing wrong with An An learning the way of life in the palace. ”

Ning Yuan was relieved, it turned out that the Queen Mother had a long-term idea. But isn't it, now Concubine Ning is the youngest in the palace, the emperor is not keen on the draft, I think there will be no more in the future, and when Concubine Ning grows up in a few years, she will be the youngest master in the palace, men like young people, such as the current Concubine Yi, and look at it in a few years, only Concubine Ning is the best age, and with the support of the Queen Mother, she will definitely have a bright future!

~~

Fengyi Palace.

After looking for a quiet morning, Queen Xu Jinhe specially summoned Concubine Wan Zhao Jing to talk. After a few words of greeting, Xu Jinhe went straight to the point and asked about the scene when the king arrived at Qutai Palace that night.

She flipped through the king's living notes of the inner court supervisor and found that Song Chen only went to the newcomer's place to take a look, but did not stay overnight, which made Xu Jinhe very incomprehensible.

Concubine Lifei Yushang is a beauty with alien blood, Song Chen is not pampered, maybe it is not good, Concubine Ning is petite and born with a baby face, Song Chen doesn't like it and can understand it, but the concubine in front of her is sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the best age for a woman, and she is tall and bright-eyed, and she is also a genuine fair beauty, why didn't Song Chen take a fancy to it?

But seeing Zhao Jing lowering her eyes and biting her lip, she said with difficulty: "Queen Bing, maybe the concubine is mediocre, it is difficult to get into the eyes of the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jinhe secretly sneered. Zhao Jing is a prominent figure among the nobles in the capital, otherwise she would not have been chosen, if she is mediocre, it is really a big joke!

The person in front of him wanted to do things for himself, Xu Jinhe didn't plan to hide his feelings, and sighed and said: "The emperor is like this, probably because of his relationship with Concubine Yi." ”

Zhao Jing came over suddenly.

She didn't believe that the emperor would look down on her appearance, but now that the queen mentioned it, she figured it out, and sure enough, the strangeness was because of Concubine Yi. This concubine, who has always been favored by the emperor, should be jealous of her youth and secretly threaten the emperor with her past affection.

"But what about the concubines?" Zhao Jing looked at Queen Xu expectantly, eager to ask for help.

Empress Xu thought for a long time and sighed, "This palace should also think of some ways for you, the sacred heart is unpredictable, don't be in a hurry." ”

Zhao Jing nodded silently.

But although Xu Jinhe comforted her so much, she also understood that Song Chen's temperament was the same, and she was not good at interfering openly, so she could only think of a way in secret.

Women, each has its own good, but if he refuses to even taste it, how can he understand it?

In any case, I have to do my best to let Zhao Jing overcome the first level with Song Chen.

~~

After four days of separation, this night, Song Chen finally didn't have to go anywhere else, and after finishing his busy business, he came to Yufu Palace early.

Xiao Le'er may not have seen her father for a long time, but at this moment, she suddenly saw her father stepping in, and immediately danced excitedly, calling to him "ah, ah".

Song Chen finally saw the little man he missed, and hurriedly lifted Le'er, who was standing on the wooden railing bed, into his arms.

Le'er had a new ability a few days ago, and she was in a hurry to show off, so she took advantage of the time when she was picked up and took a sip on her father's face.

The father was happy and immediately returned her a fragrant kiss.

Seeing the interaction between the father and daughter, Chu Xue smiled and stepped forward to salute, just as dinner was served, and the family of three sat down to eat together.

Le'er can eat some soft food now, Ruyue made fish porridge, Chu Xue took her into her arms and fed her spoonful by spoonful. When Song Chen didn't come over a few days ago, only the two of them had dinner, and Chu Xue served her daughter like this.

It was like returning home after a long journey, looking at the warm mother and daughter, Song Chen finally relaxed, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

After eating and playing for a while, Le'er yawned, and the nurses stepped forward to take the princess to sleep, and only the two of them were left in the palace.

Song Chen pretended to be angry, pulled her over and said, "I haven't been here for three days, and you don't ask as soon as I enter the door, where have I gone?" How are you doing? ”

How could Chu Xue not know, even if she didn't go out of the palace by herself, the well-informed Yanling around her would have already come to report to her, and she would know the news that he hadn't spent the night with any newcomers.

While she was relieved, she secretly admired him, and sure enough, she did what she said.

She smiled and said: "The emperor can't come, there must be something important to be busy, although the concubine and Le'er miss it tightly, but there are palace people around you to serve, and the concubine doesn't dare to disturb, let alone ......"

She stopped talking and sold off.

He asked, "What's more?" ”

She smiled softly and said coquettishly: "The emperor wants the concubines to believe in you, and the concubines will definitely believe it, so as long as you serve the emperor well, why do you need to ask more?" ”

She was smart and cunning, and her smile made his heart flutter, and he had been sleeping alone for three days, so he would not let go of this opportunity tonight, and without saying anything, he picked up the beauty and entered the tent.

After a night of ups and downs, Chu Xue sincerely felt that he was really suffocated.

Just as the Yufu Palace was □□, a person from the Fengyi Palace sneaked into the treasury of the inner official and eunuch at night.

Not long after, one night, the imperial study room of the Qinzheng Palace was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.

Today's government affairs are particularly busy, Song Chen has been busy from morning to night, and when he sees that he has entered Haihai, he still can't get up from the bookcase.

In front of the luxurious bookcase, a heavy silk carpet was spread on the smooth floor in the center of the imperial study, and a bronze incense burner was placed on it.

Gradually, he felt a little hot, and now it was only late spring, why was the weather already stuffy to such a point?

Feeling a little tired, he put down his pen and gently rubbed the corner of his forehead.

Seeing this, the personal eunuch Liangxi hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's not early, you are tired for a day, and it is time to rest and rest, although the state affairs are heavy, you also have to pay attention to the dragon body." ”

Song Chen also felt that for some reason his heart suddenly couldn't calm down, so he simply got up, went to the couch on the side, and leaned down to rest for a while.

He had just rested when he heard a woman's voice outside the hall, and he asked, "Who is outside?" ”

Liangxi hurriedly bowed down and went out to check, and came back after a while to reply, "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Wan asked to see her outside the palace, saying that she made sweet soup for you." ”

"Concubine Wan is ......"

Song Chen frowned and asked.

Liang Xi was speechless, this emperor is good, there are only a few concubines in the harem, and he can't even remember who is who......

But the belly slander is the belly slander, Liangxi bowed down and smiled: "Your Majesty, it's the lady of Qutai Palace."

Song Chen finally remembered.

Seeing that the king finally remembered, Liangxi, as a personal eunuch, couldn't help but speculate about the holy will, and he asked: "Concubine Wan Niangniang said that she made a lily lotus seed soup for you, do you want to taste it?"

For some reason, Song Chen's mind was a little wandering at this time, and when he heard Liangxi say this, he was also interested in the sweet soup sent by the visitor, so he nodded and said, "Call her in." ”

Liangxi bent down and went to the door to lead the people.

In a moment, I saw a graceful woman stepping into the temple. "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Zhao Jing saluted gently.

"Let's be flat." Song Chen's voice was faint, he wanted to ask her what sweet soup she was sending, but he looked at it, but he was facing the woman's eyes, the woman's beautiful eyes were shining, and he was smiling shyly, and he suddenly shook his head.

His mind seemed to be gradually foggy, he felt that he was in Yufu Palace at the moment, and the beauty in front of him was his Xue'er, he suddenly couldn't help but be emotional, and wanted to reach out and pull her into his arms, but before he could take action, he heard the voice of good joy.

Liangxi trembled and said: "Your Majesty, Yufu Palace came to report, the little princess suddenly had a high fever and was falling asleep." ”

"What?"

Hearing Xiao Le'er's name, Song Chen sobered up for a moment, and then ignored the woman in front of him who was waiting for him with hope, got up from the couch and hurried to Yufu Palace.
