The sedan chair had already been prepared, and when he arrived at the Zihuan Palace, the yellow door in front of the main hall was stunned when he saw Xia Ruoqing. However, the yellow doors in front of the palace were all elf characters, so they immediately concealed the different colors on their faces and hurriedly entered the palace to report.

got the communication, Xia Ruoqing entered by the way. She hadn't been here for more than a year in this purple hall, and the furnishings inside were as before, and it seemed that time had stood still here. Emperor Nanzhao had just returned from the imperial study, sitting in the warm pavilion to eat, although the dishes on the table were exquisite, they were not luxurious.

Xia Ruoqing knelt on the ground and made a big salute. Emperor Nanzhao sat on the top, the ivory chopstick in his hand was not put down, and he looked at Xia Ruoqing with interest, so she knelt like this.

As soon as the two of them went up, they were silent for a long time, and Emperor Nanzhao laughed and said, "Concubine Jing came dressed up today, I don't know why?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Yuanshuo's body felt cold on the day, and she missed the gift of He Xin, and there were a number of rudenesses. It's a good day, and the concubine came to ask the Queen Mother and Her Majesty for guilt. ”

"Oh, that's it. Illness comes like a mountain, no one can control it, and it's no wonder you. This is not a big deal, you don't have to go to the Queen Mother's side. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Nanzhao paused, a sneer lifted at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Except for this matter, Concubine Jing really has nothing to do?" ”

"The concubine came today, just to invite Yuan Shuo's sin. The concubine is stupid, I really don't know what His Majesty is referring to? ”

Emperor Nanzhao snorted quietly and said, "Raise your head." ”

Xia Ruoqing raised her head as she said, her eyelids drooped slightly, her eyes were supple, and she looked at Emperor Nanzhao's gaze and did not avoid it for a while.

"Concubine Jing, you must know that this Purple Hall is not as good as before, and you can come here if you want to. If there is something, it is better to make it clear. ”

"The concubine is really stupid, I don't know what His Majesty means."

"Xia Changze and your mother's younger siblings were all detained in the Wind and Thunder Prison, could it be that Concubine Jing wanted to protect her life and didn't plan to intercede for her parents and siblings?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare. The Xia family has received the grace of Nantang in the past dynasties, and is in an important position in the court, and should have tried their best to relieve His Majesty's worries, but his father went astray and did not follow the right path. His Majesty ordered the Criminal Department to check it several times, and there was evidence and evidence, and he did not wronged his father for half a point, how could the concubine continue to defend her father without distinguishing between black and white? The Xia clan is glorious and food, all of which are given by His Majesty, and a qiē Angelica belongs to His Majesty. And the way to govern the country is based on the law, and His Majesty disposes of it according to the law, where can the concubine be pecked? Although the concubine is the daughter of the Xia family, she has read several sage books since she was a child, and she still understands this truth. With the grace of His Majesty, the concubine is still the palace concubine who waits for His Majesty in the harem, and she should do the work of the palace concubine. On the day when he atoned for the sins of his parents, the concubine would ask His Majesty to demote and give Aya, which was the only way to fulfill the two righteousness of loyalty and filial piety. ”

Emperor Nanzhao listened quietly, the expression on his face gradually softened, and he nodded: "You are sensible, and you will not spoil you for many years, just get up." ”

Xia Ruoqing stood up as she said, still standing in place with her head down. Emperor Nanzhao couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing so far away from me, is it possible that I will bite someone?" Come here. ”

Waiting for Xia Ruoqing to walk to the side, Emperor Nanzhao looked at the painting on her face, raised his eyebrows lightly, raised his hand and rubbed it left and right a few times, but it was not as pasty as usual, and there was no painting powder on his hand, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This painting on your face is very exquisite, isn't it painted with pastel?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, the painting on the concubine's face is embroidered with silver needle patterns."

"Silver needle?" Emperor Nanzhao twisted his eyebrows, chuckled, and said: "In this way, the day of Jinggui Concubine Yuanshuo is not just as simple as contracting the wind and cold, right?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, how dare the concubine deceive His Majesty? On the day of Concubine Yuanshuo, she was indeed infected with wind cold, and later induced cold rashes. The concubine's cold rash appeared on her face, and she couldn't tolerate itching, so she scratched some scars. The wounds on the face of the concubine after the cold rash healed hindered the view, and the paintings made with painting powder at the meeting of the concubine on Chinese New Year's Eve were not resistant to high heat and easy to fall off, so they simply let people embroider half of the face makeup with silver needle lines on the face, one to cover up the flaws, and the other is also considered the concubine's selfishness, hoping that His Majesty smiled. If you don't like it, the concubine ...... And so he retreated. ”

"Oh, I see." Emperor Nanzhao replied: "Concubine Jing is careful. This silver needle is pierced in the face, I am afraid that it is painful, and it is difficult for you. ”

"The concubine's body is affected by her parents, but her parents were born in the realm of Nantang, and both inside and outside are subject to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty is happy, that little pain is nothing. ”

"Good, good. Ruoqing, you are the most talkative person in this palace, and it makes me feel comfortable listening to it. The makeup painted with pastel is really unbearable, not to mention shoddy, I sometimes make my hands full of powder when I stroke my face, and the painting is also pasty, which is very disappointing. By the way, if you come here at this moment, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. Come and add a pair of chopsticks to Concubine Jing and accompany me to eat. ”

The waiter next to him hurriedly responded to the yellow door and went down to prepare. Xia Ruoqing sat sideways at the bottom of Emperor Nanzhao, with low eyebrows and a light smile, and her words were gentle, if others didn't know the inside story, where could they see that the people close to her were in prison at the moment, and they would be in great trouble?

Emperor Nanzhao's every move touched the hearts of thousands of people, and the news of Xia Ruoqing's return to favor spread throughout the harem the next day. The concubines in the palace were angry and jealous, and there were not a few people who gritted their teeth, but few people dared to really learn from Xia Ruoqing's move to move needle patterns and embroider pictures on their faces. The case of the Xia family is extremely involved and widely known, and the file of the Criminal Department is clearly displayed, and the result is a foregone conclusion, and there is a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace for a while, and they all want to see how Xia Ruoqing will end up in the end.

The harem of Nanzhao is like a river of water, with an undercurrent rushing. However, even if the undercurrent is turbulent, there are always a few dead corners that are stable and unwavering, such as Yufeng Palace, which is as calm and leisurely as ever.

However, this calm and leisurely is also divided into time periods, when Su Lingyu is not there, it is quite quiet, once Su Lingyu lives, the concubines who come to greet him in the palace are endless, even if Jun Yihuang is solemn and cold, he is also a little unbearable.

On this day, it was easy to send Zhao Fangyi, who came over to say hello, and as soon as Jun Yihuang entered the warm pavilion, he saw Su Lingyu lazily leaning on the corner couch to eat grapes, his eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked so carefree.

"You'll hide here and leave everyone to me." Jun Yihuang took off his outer hat, waved the maid out, and sat on the corner couch to keep his hands on the charcoal stove to keep warm.

"You know I've been tired lately, and I don't have the energy to talk to them. What's more, this is Yufeng Palace, you are the master and I am the guest, so it is naturally appropriate for you to block people. ”

"You're tired, you're out of energy?" Jun Yihuang looked at Su Lingyu sideways, and the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching slightly, "Why didn't I see it, but you don't have to ask for good morning now, and you don't have to wait, you eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, but in just twenty days, the whole person has grown white and fat, and even the clothes of the past are tightened on the body......"

A grape was stuffed into Jun Yihuang's mouth at the right time, blocking her next words. Su Lingyu's face was about to burst into laughter, full of lai skin: "Where did I get fat, it was obvious that those clothes had become smaller after the boiling water." Junjun, you taste it, this grape is a tribute from the Xitai Clipper, and you don't even need to peel the skin, it's sweet. ”

Jun Yihuang glanced at Su Lingyu, pushed the grapes away, and asked, "Negongsi just sent it?" How did I not know? You just stuff it in your mouth? Have you seen it? ”

"Hey, I've seen it, Yihuang, don't worry about it all day long, I'm not stupid." Su Lingyu fussed the grapes on her fingertips needlessly, "Mama Xi has checked it, and Nianzhen has also tasted the rosary, no problem, you can eat it with confidence." ”

After saying that, Su Lingyu persevered and sent the grapes back to Jun Yihuang's mouth. This time, Jun Yihuang didn't refuse again, opened his mouth and swallowed, his teeth closed lightly, the thin skin cracked, and the rich and sweet grape juice inside overflowed into the cavity in an instant, and it was really the best fresh Western Regions horse □□.

"Yihuang, isn't it sweet?" Before Jun Yihuang swallowed the grapes in her mouth, Su Lingyu had already picked the second one and fed it to her mouth, and the whole person knelt beside her like a cat, her eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"I said that the fetus is not stable in less than three months, and you must be careful when entering and exiting. Look at whether you sit or not for a day, you are all a mother, how can there be half a rule! Get up and lean on! Jun Yihuang said angrily with half-truths and half-falsehoods, dragged Su Lingyu up and leaned on the soft pillow, and lifted the brocade quilt next to her to cover it for her, "Also, I said that you are not allowed to call me Yihuang, no up, no down, no big or small." ”

"It's so delicate." Su Lingyu was wrapped into a round dumpling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was very honest and didn't struggle.

"Not delicate, why did you faint on the main hall on Chinese New Year's Eve." Jun Yihuang glanced at Su Lingyu, "I don't even know if I'm pregnant, how Qingxuan takes care of you!" This kind of trouble is that everyone knows that you are pregnant, and you can't hide it. ”

"I have a lot of menstrual troubles, how did I know that I was pregnant this time...... Besides, if this kind of thing really wants to be known, where can it be hidden? That Jing Guifei tried her best, didn't she save it in the end? ”

Jun Yihuang sighed lightly, knowing that Su Lingyu was right. Moreover, just after Chinese New Year's Eve, in the early morning of the third day of the new year, an urgent good news came from the north, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Feiyang, the main general of the Ziyu army, lured the main army of Beidi into the Pansnake Gorge with a trick, severely defeated the main army of Beidi, wounded the main general of Beidi Huyange with arrows, burned most of the grain and grass of Beidi, and forced the Beidi army to retreat more than 100 miles to the north. In addition, the Queen Mother had a long-lasting illness, always had a headache in the morning and evening, and I don't know if it was a New Year's weather, but I didn't commit it for more than 20 days after the year. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Nanzhao pulled these things together with Su Lingyu's pregnancy on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they all thought that this was an auspicious child, so that Su Lingyu was cared for in every way, and the usual etiquette should be dismissed, and Su Lingyu was made a noble concubine, and the two imperial doctors took care of the fetus, and checked the pulse three times in the morning, noon and evening. Su Lingyu's father, Su Hong, was also overjoyed, and immediately picked two medical girls from outside the palace and two grandmothers into the palace to guard Su Lingyu. Jun Yihuang also brought all Su Lingyu's clothes and accessories into Yufeng Palace to be washed, and no longer handed them over to the palace to be washed. Such protection is comparable to the treatment of a queen, and there will be no more problems in the future.
