The top of the heavy eaves of the Qianqing Palace, the golden glazed tiles shine brightly, walk through the layers of white marble steps, there are already eunuchs who open the door of the Sanjiao Liuling flower, and raise the bright yellow brocade curtain to wait for the emperor.

The palace is paved with gold bricks, the hall is open and bright, a screen is set up between the two golden pillars, a throne is set up in front of the screen, and several officials wearing court clothes stand under the throne.
The emperor stopped at the gate of the palace, turned his head to stare, Ling Han's gaze as far as his eyes could see, and the cold lingered on Qingling's face for a moment before moving to the eldest prince.
The emperor and the eldest prince entered the main hall, and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs bypassed the side of the main hall and went to the back to serve.
The entourage of the eldest prince could only walk to the front of the steps, while Qingling and Jasmine were blocking the door of the palace, Jasmine pulled Qingling back a few steps, stood under the wide pillars in front of the hall, and opened a distance from the guards guarding the Qianqing Palace, before whispering, "The eldest prince can't come out for a while, let's wait here." ”
Qingling nodded, thanking Jasmine for her suggestion. Jasmine stared at Qingling's hand wrapped around the bright yellow silk handkerchief, and a pair of eyes full of doubts carefully examined Qingling from head to toe.
It is said that there are hundreds of palace maids in the harem like Qingling who are dressed in dim-colored palace clothes, why did the emperor stop by her side just now by the Taiye Pool, ask her name, and bandage her wounds with a silk cloth?
I knelt in a hurry just now, not only Qingling's hand was bruised, but Jasmine's hand was also bruised, Jasmine was on Qingling's side, why did the emperor see Qingling alone in his eyes?
And Qingling for the first time to see the emperor's residence, eyes are attracted by the magnificent building of the heavenly family, carefully look at the single warped double ang seven step on the bucket under the heavy eaves of the gilt color decoration of the golden dragon and the color of the heavy color of the color of the painting, the painting is delicate and fine, nine golden dragons are vividly wrapped between the bucket arches under the heavy eaves, full of magnificence, honor and dignity.
On the spacious platform in front of the hall, there are copper turtles, copper cranes, and sundials on the left and right, and the gilded incense burner is emitting slow smoke.
There was a delicate chuckle at the bottom of the steps, and several brightly dressed palace ladies surrounded the two beautiful concubines and slowly walked up the steps with small steps.
"Sister Yue, the concubine is a little scared, let's not go, what if I make the emperor unhappy?" The woman with a white mink coat on the outside of the goose-yellow undergarment stopped, her hands lightly covering her chest, and she was panting.
"What's there to be afraid of, I just want to take a look at the talented champion of the Great Qianchao from a distance, why is Yu Guiren afraid?" The moon concubine was like water, with a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, and said sarcastically, "Didn't Yu Guiren ask the concubine to come here, and the concubine didn't know that a champion had entered the palace today?" ”
"Where do the concubines dare to deceive my sister," Yu Guiren's face was slightly red in the warm winter sun, and her pretty face was like a spring bud, "My sister is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, doesn't the concubine want to touch my sister's grace?" ”
Concubine Yue's heart was as sweet as an exploding honey flower when she was flattered by Yu Guiren, took Yu Guiren's arm, and said with a coquettish smile, "Just your little mouth will coax people, and the concubine thinks that your little hoof is so happy in private, and the concubine's face is burning." ”
As soon as the two concubines walked up the steps and stood still, they saw another palace concubine coming up on the steps, violet embroidered with a gold-rimmed pleated skirt, a touch of white fox fur on the neckline, more and more noble and dignified, the complexion was smooth and delicate, and two golden steps were inserted on the high-pull Lingyun Wangxian nine mustaches to show the noble status.
Concubine Yue and Yu Guiren saluted sideways, "Concubine Hui has seen Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui Niangniang Wan'an." ”
Concubine Hui's eyes swept over the two women who were lower than herself, and nodded lightly, unable to hide the cold arrogance between her complexions.
Concubine Hui's personal palace maid Lu Ping held Concubine Hui with one hand, and was about to push the palace door with the other. Gui Yu, the little eunuch in front of the emperor, hurriedly bent down in front of the door, and said with a smiling face, "Concubine Hui, the emperor is discussing with the courtiers, please wait outside for a while." ”
Lu Ping lowered her face, "Gui Yu, the imperial doctor just diagnosed that Niangniang is more than three months pregnant, don't you come to report the good news to the emperor, you are tired outside the station and your mother's noble body, can you afford it?" ”
Lu Ping looked over and recognized that one of the two palace maids standing on the side was Jasmine next to the imperial concubine of Fengzao Palace, and she deliberately lit her crisp voice.
A loud voice floated over, Jasmine's face changed, the imperial concubine and Concubine Hui did not deal with each other, they had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they didn't want Concubine Hui to be pregnant.
Gui Yu's eyes drifted over Concubine Hui's lower abdomen, her smiling face was stunned, and her waist bent lower and lower, "Niangniang forgives her sins, Niangniang will wait, and the slave will go to the emperor." ”
The door of the hall opened and closed, and when it was opened again, three men wearing court clothes with a round neck and a silver silk jade belt retreated to the door, turned around and walked out one after another, and raised their heads when they went out, under the black gauze hat were three young and handsome scholar faces, Qingling saw that the man who walked at the end held a Huai Wat in his hand, covered his knees with a brocade ribbon, raised his eyes and sword eyebrows, his demeanor was extraordinary, and his familiar face seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Great prince, slow down, cross the threshold." Followed by Gao Zhen bent over, holding the small hand of the eldest prince in his hand, he walked to the door and reminded loudly.
"Great Prince, slow down!" Qingling and Jasmine trotted over and waited outside the door, holding the eldest prince out of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace one by one.
Gao Zhen saw Concubine Hui Niangniang standing by the door, and laughed, "Concubine Huiniang, you are here, the emperor asked you to go in." ”
Seeing the emperor's henchmen and eunuchs, Concubine Hui had a soft smile on her face and curtled her knees, "There is Lao Gao's father-in-law." ”
Concubine Hui, who was originally in the main hall, withdrew her feet, turned around, and a wisp of bright yellow floated in her eyes.
Drinking to the two palace maids who were leaving with the eldest prince, "Stop." ”
Concubine Hui picked her eyes, stepped forward, held up Qingling's hand, tore off the bright yellow silk handkerchief in her hand, and shook it away. The corner of the bright yellow blood-stained ayapa is embroidered with a few orchid leaves, and one of the leaves is rolled up, embroidered with a small Hui character.
Concubine Hui raised her hand, and a loud slap fell on Qingling's face, printing a red handprint, "The Ayapa used by the emperor is also something that you can abuse as a palace maid?" ”
Qingling's eyes widened in astonishment, Concubine Hui's exquisite makeup, beautiful face, and dark jade-like eyes flashed as fiercely as a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood.
"Hui Niangniang, how can you hit someone casually?" The eldest prince's little face was tense, blocking in front of Qingling.
A strong and slender hand held Concubine Hui's raised wrist, "Concubine Hui, what are you doing?" "There was a majesty in the low coldness.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Hui was coquettish, "How can the silk cloth embroidered by the concubine for the emperor be in the hands of the cheap maid?" Saying that, he snuggled into the emperor's arms.
The emperor frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Qingling's cheeks, and half of his face was marked with a few red fingerprints.
He pushed Concubine Hui away, his eyes fixed on Qingling's face, and his cold eyes seemed to be frozen, which made the concubines and palace people present feel cold.
"Ahh Concubine Hui screamed.
Because the force was too strong, Concubine Hui couldn't help but sit on the edge of the platform, leaned around, and just rolled down the steps.
"Ah,!" Concubine Yue and Yu Guiren were already frightened, and Lu Ping chased down the steps with a scream.
Yu Guiren shouted in a lost voice, "Your Majesty, the concubine is pregnant with a dragon ......."
"Blood, blood, Niang Niang is bleeding, please ask the doctor, please ask the doctor......" Lu Ping's heart-rending cry came from under the steps.
Qingling clenched her fists, the wound on the back of her hand that had not healed oozed blood, and the pain spread to her heart, she hugged the villain in front of her in fear, leaning her head on the young body of the eldest prince and hugging it tightly.
She heard that there was only one princess before the emperor ascended the throne, and the harem was filled up one after another after ascending the throne, and after nine years on the throne, there was only one heir of the eldest prince.
It's so hard to survive in the harem! It's hard to dodge from the sky, and you can't hide from it! Just got out of Fengzao Palace and caused trouble for the imperial concubine, even if she could escape this catastrophe, could Concubine Hui let her go?
Qingling let go of the eldest prince, raised his head, and took a deep look at the emperor, cold, arrogant, cold and sharp eyebrows, and saw a trace of pity flash from his eyes, fleeting, just like the first time he saw Qianlichi.
Tears welled up from the depths of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks, "The slave and maid are guilty, please ask the emperor to execute the slave and maid?" ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, he covered his face with his hands, raised his head with great pain, blinked his eyes, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, "Take the emperor back." ”
The affairs of the Qianqing Palace seemed to have grown wings, and it spread throughout the harem before it was dark. Concubine Hui, who favored the harem, folded in the hands of a palace maid, was pushed down the steps by the emperor and slipped the fetus.
The imperial concubine in Fengzao Palace had just come out of the bath, leaning on the soft couch, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her jade hand was slender, stroking the delicate and small finger sleeve of her little finger.
Fang Fei carefully wrapped the imperial concubine's long hair with a cotton handkerchief, and slowly wiped it, "Niangniang, Concubine Hui is really secretive, it's been three months, the fetus is sitting firmly, if it weren't for today's coincidence, Niangniang would still be in the dark." ”
"Hmph," the imperial concubine snorted disdainfully, "The emperor saw that Tian'er was resting in her palace, and there was only a little movement at this time, and there was no time to rejoice and disappear, and she didn't give birth to the prince's life, so the emperor treated her like this." ”
Fang Fei changed a cloth towel, slowly rubbed it in her hands, thought about it, and said strangely, "Niangniang, on weekdays, Concubine Hui was almost held to the sky by the emperor, but this time the children are gone, and I don't know how to be sad." ”
"If it's gone, it's gone, in this harem, are there still few people who want to give birth to an heir to the emperor? Fang Fei, you go to see Qingling, comfort and comfort her, but don't let her think of any more trouble. The imperial concubine pulled out her finger sleeve and threw it casually, and the finger sleeve rolled to the side.
Fang Fei stopped, picked up the finger sleeve and put it in the jewelry box in front of the dresser, and glanced at the imperial concubine carefully, with a smile on the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth, she pretended to ask casually, "Niangniang, it's strange that you said it, there was such a big deal in Qingling, and the emperor let her come back without even saying a word of seriousness." ”
