Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, because the empress dowager is ill, the emperor is not in the mood to hold a banquet, so the empress Jianyì emperor went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the ancestors to show filial piety.

The emperor agreed and ordered Yousi to prepare for the altar of heaven to worship the ancestors. The queen and the emperor walked together, and the affairs in the palace were temporarily taken care of by the imperial concubine Ling. The holy decree was given, and the imperial concubine felt heavy in her hand after the holy decree.

On this day, the imperial concubine came to the back garden but saw Qiao Molan standing under the osmanthus tree with her stomach upright, a noble peacock pattern red palace dress, and a phoenix hairpin with seven phoenixes and rising sunrise on her hair bun. ”

Qiao Molan looked back, exempted the imperial concubine from the courtesy, and apologized: "Sister Ling has worked hard these days, why do you and my sister have to be so polite, this palace sees that this osmanthus tree has withered, isn't it?" ”

Only then did Ling remember that Qiao Molan also liked the osmanthus tree very much, and remembered the queen mother's illness, so she showed her face: "According to the concubine, this osmanthus tree is not withered, and it will be full of flowers next year, and then the mother can enjoy the style of osmanthus again." ”

Qiao Molan stretched out her hand, but there were a few pieces of withered yellow in her hand, accompanied by tears, which fell silently, and the imperial concubine couldn't help but persuade when she saw it: "If Niangniang is tired, go to the pavilion next to you to rest, standing here is windy." ”

Qiao Molan was shocked to lose her temper and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Sister Ling is so estranged from her sister, but she is still angry with her sister because of the matter of Jifu?" ”

The imperial concubine said with a smile: "What Niangniang said there, the matter of auspicious clothes has passed, how can the concubine be arrogant, now Niangniang is in a high position, and the concubine should be greatly respected, not to mention that Niangniang is pregnant with Liujia, and the concubine can only protect Niangniang well, this imperial garden is cold, but the concubine heard that the queen mother built a flower house in Yilan Garden, and there are many kinds of flowers in it, it is better to go and see, if the body of the mother is on business if the body is out of the pool, the concubine can not explain to the queen mother and the queen. ”

"What my sister said is," Qiao Molan lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, which was pitiful, "Now that my sister's body is getting thinner and thinner, is there any way my sister can help my sister?" ”

The imperial concubine saw Qiao Molan's emaciated jaw pointed, her figure was no longer as beautiful as before, and her jade hands were also skinny, but she didn't know why: "My sister is pregnant, and it is legitimate to be emaciated." ”

Qiao Molan said quietly: "My sister said yes." ”

The imperial concubine saw that her face was sallow and had some brown pregnancy spots, and she couldn't help sighing: "Niangniang is so good to recuperate." Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and after the Spring Festival, the emperor and queen will come back in two days. ”

Qiao Molan heard the imperial concubine sigh, her heart was sad, tears slowly burst out of her eyes, turned around and left. When the imperial concubine saw her at this moment, she felt even more uncomfortable for her.

Thinking of the rumors she heard in the past, the imperial concubine was puzzled: "Could it be that Qiao Molan really has a relationship with Yanshun people?" This sudden pregnancy was also something she didn't expect, the emperor once swore not to let Qiao Molan give birth to an heir, it seems that the man's words are really better than what the ghost said.

On the first day, the imperial concubine came to Cining Palace, and the situation in Cining Palace was not clear, and the emperor explained when he left that no one was allowed to enter or leave Cining Palace, but this was the first day, and the old man of the Queen Mother was very eager for Qiao Molan to go in to see the Queen Mother.

The imperial concubine was about to leave, but she saw the Yuan Imperial Concubine walking alone, her emaciated figure was pitiful, and the falling flowers were ruthless, turning into spring mud to protect the flowers. Seeing her affectionate and compassionate, the imperial concubine said: "Don't be too sad, the concubines have sent some of the best food and medicinal herbs in, and the emperor has a ......."

Before she finished speaking, Emperor Yuan interrupted coldly: "My sister knows." The palace came here just to kowtow to the Queen Mother and his old man. ”

"Niangniang is pregnant with the emperor's heir, this is to trap the concubine in injustice, if there is a mistake, the emperor will come back and ask the concubine, Niangniang can know, how much hope the queen mother has for Niangniang?" The imperial concubine almost told the rumor, but she swallowed it raw, she didn't want Qiao Molan to think that she was envying her, in fact, it didn't make any sense.

"Sister, are you watching the jokes of the palace now, once the queen mother dies, there will be nothing in the palace, what Lin Guifei, what Yuan Huang Guifei is begged by the queen mother, this palace doesn't care about these, this palace likes the emperor, this palace has been in the palace for 18 years, and I have known the emperor since I was a child, but why does he only have you in his eyes?" Qiao Molan finished her words in one breath, obviously speaking eagerly, and coughed twice.

The imperial concubine fell to her knees with a thud, which was as hard as a stone, as cold as an ice cube, and bitterly cold: "Ask Niangniang to return to the palace." ”

Qiao Molan saw the imperial concubine kneeling down, and snorted coldly: "This palace really doesn't understand why the emperor has a soft spot for you, but he is stubborn." ”

Go off in a huff.

When she left, the imperial concubine stood up: "Today's matter, this palace doesn't want others to know." ”

Scarlet Spring and Scarlet Autumn said yes.

The flowers are getting more and more charming, and the eyes of the shallow grass can have no horseshoe, this winter is longer than in previous years, and the imperial concubine looks at the sunset slowly falling on the horizon, hoping that the queen mother's illness will recover soon.
