Concubine Wan was favored suddenly, Zheng Zhaoyi fell out of favor suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang also summoned the Zheng family later, how could Yingxue more or less make Zhu Yuanzhang feel unhappy, so the pipa in the palace gradually fell silent.

Yizhen's grace, although it is as conspicuous as the two of them, can still summon luck four or five times in a month, counting the imperial service pen and ink, there are a lot. Although there are a few days of no fortunate service, but often give food when eating, the palace people tend to be inflammatory, seeing this situation, they have to Wan'an Palace to deliver things diligently, openly and secretly show goodwill.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, that is, the second day of Zhu Hu's birthday, Ah Xiu took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's lunch in Kunning Palace to ask Jin to seal Yizhen as a concubine. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he put down his chopsticks and muttered for a while, and asked, "How did the queen remember the position of Jin Feng Yizhen?" ”

"Yizhen is the righteous daughter of Marshal Ma Shixiong, His Majesty and Marshal Ma have always been friends, Yizhen is an old man in the palace, although there are many concubines, she is the only one with both children. Hu'er is seven years old, the poetry and writing are good, naturally thanks to the cleverness of the biological mother, Your Majesty is gracious to Yizhen, it is a matter of course, if Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, it should only be a concubine. Ah Xiu said sincerely.

"The position of the concubine is the same as the vice-queen, if you belong to her, it will be her!" Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the corners of his mouth, rinsed his mouth, got up to leave, and Ah Xiu said again: "The concubine has a reluctant invitation." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her: "Oh? What else? ”

"Huilan has been grounded for a long time, if Your Majesty's anger has subsided, let's solve it." Ah Xiu stood up and saluted and said. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, as if he was displeased: "She dared to murder the emperor's heir, leaving her alive is already a gift, but you ask for favor for her, the queen is too merciful." ”

"The harem and the former dynasty are one, General Li Jie only has such a daughter, and now if His Majesty doesn't like her, it's just a matter of not seeing her, and it's not good after being grounded for a long time. Moreover, when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne, when he ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, he did not lift her grounding, and now for the sake of several princes, please ask Your Majesty to have two more mercy and give her the right to be lenient. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Since the queen has an idea, why bother to ask me?" Just do what you want. Command a messenger to go. He turned around and took the chamberlain away.

Su Xin stepped forward to help Ah Xiu: "The queen mother asked Jin to be the concubine, Your Majesty is already a little unhappy, why mention the unpleasant person of Concubine Hui?" ”

"General Li Jie has repeatedly played on the front line, and has repeatedly asked his wife to enter the palace to visit his daughter, but His Majesty has always refused to allow it, and the time is too long, after all, it is not appropriate. For the sake of a woman who is not favored, it chilled the hearts of the former dynasty officials, and it is useless to comment on His Majesty. After all, this unpleasant thing is only for me to say. Your Majesty wants to annoy me, it's just that he doesn't want to see me for a few months, as he did before. ”

Yizhen sealed the concubine, Huilan lifted the ban, two things caused a sensation in the harem, Wan'an Palace Shou'an Palace, and it became a fragrant dumpling for a while. Needless to say, Yizhen came to thank her, but Huilan heard that the emperor and queen were at odds because of her own ban, and she was puzzled for a while.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the population of the harem is the most complete, and Ah Xiu is still the same as in previous years: Mao is accepting the bow of the concubine, and the arrangement has been assigned to stop before the hour. At noon, the dinner is full of ingredients; In a matter of seconds, the kitchen began to make time-consuming dishes; The tables and chairs of Shenshi were furnished, including colored silk and flowers, were arranged; Youzheng, the stage on the square outside started, the singing and dancing in the palace began, and the palace banquet began.

Yizhen and Lian'er sat on the left and right of the closest seat, followed by Zhilan and Qingyun, they were still the two quietest and indisputable, then Huilan and Wanfei, followed by Zheng Zhaoyi and Qiuqin, and the other two Li Jieyu and Zhang Cairen, who were promoted by the show girl, sat at the bottom.

Everyone took turns to toast, Hui Lan toasted, Zhu Yuanzhang drank with his head in an unprecedented way, Hui Lan was overjoyed and sat down happily. Concubine Wan was toasted by her first, and she was not displeased, and she picked up the wine glass: "The concubine respects Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, raised his glass and drank, it was Yingxue's turn, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was too strong to drink, and left alone, but called Yizhen to accompany him. Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then beckoned everyone to continue eating and drinking.

Yingxue couldn't toast, a little unhappy, seeing that there was an extra Hui Concubine out of thin air, sitting above herself, and asked with the strength of the wine: "Sister Hui Concubine, I heard that you were grounded because of something before, I don't know why?" ”

Far away, there was singing and dancing on the side, Ah Xiu didn't pay attention, but Wan Concubine listened carefully, sneered in her heart, and pretended not to know. Huilan was asked about the sore spot by a little girl, glared angrily, and did not answer.

"What is my sister staring at me like this? Although Yingxue is one level lower than my sister, His Majesty loves my pipa very much, and I just want to ask casually, lest my sister repeat the mistakes of the past, and I am afraid that I will not have such good luck at that time. Yingxue's wine swelled up, and her words became more and more frivolous.

Huilan smiled coldly: "My sister asks casually, but I can't answer at will, my sister is favored, how can she follow in my footsteps?" Yingxue was about to speak again, and Huilan asked Wan Concubine in a loud voice: "My sister is the lord of the Taiji Palace, this one is the person in your palace, probably drunk and talking nonsense, does my sister want to restrain her and send her back?" ”

Seeing her difficult, Concubine Wan smiled gently: "Sister Yingxue is indeed a person from my Taiji Palace, but I am so far away from her, I don't know how she collided with my sister, but I am the head of the first palace, so I naturally accompany my sister for her, and my sister forgives her sins." After speaking, he turned around and told Lu Yi to go to the opposite side to help Yingxue go back.

Lu Yi was ordered to go around and reach out to help Yingxue, but Scarlet Sleeves slapped her hand down: "If you don't need my sister to do it, we, the slaves who carry it, will help our own masters." Lu Yi looked at Wan Concubine, Wan Concubine beckoned, and Lu Yi came back without saying a word.

Seeing that Lu Yi and Concubine Wan were deflated, Hui Lan provoked: "It turns out that I haven't come out for too long, and I don't know who is the master of the Taiji Palace." Concubine Wan's face turned red, and she didn't say much. Ying Xue was angry when she heard this: "Sister doesn't have to stir up trouble here!" I just asked why you were grounded, and I provoked you to let Concubine Wan suppress me! Queen Hengzhi is still there, and I can't assign you the matter of the Taiji Palace! ”

Ah Xiu asked Wan Concubine in a loud voice from Huilan, and withdrew from singing and dancing, listening to them come and go for so long, she coughed unhappily: "What day is today, there is a quarrel here!" Wan Concubine, you are the head of the first house, and your people are drunk, so they naturally want you to take care of it. “

Concubine Wan bowed her head and responded: "It's the concubine's rudeness, I'll let someone send her back now." Seeing that Ah Xiu nodded, she instructed the scarlet sleeves and blue clothes: "Since you said that you don't need my people to help you, now that the queen mother has said, you can help back by yourself!" ”

The scarlet sleeves heard Ah Xiu angry, and saw Wan Concubine speak, so she lowered her head and promised to pull Yingxue out, Yingxue blushed and struggled to fall down. (To be continued.) )
