On the second day, Qing Cang still left before Qin Yuan woke up, after Qin Yuan got up and washed, Aunt Lan waited for Qin Yuan to dress and dress, the golden cloud smoke shirt embroidered with elegant orchids, the yellow antique double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand water inner skirt mopping the floor, and the mist veil of Bixia Luo peony in her hand. The clouds are ethereal, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin, the face is as charming as the moon, and the eyes are full of anticipation and seductiveness.

Qin Yuan came to the palace of Fengxiang Palace, sat down in the seat after asking for peace one by one, and waited for the queen to arrive with the concubine, at this time, Qiao Guiren not far away glanced at Qin Yuan with a little displeasure, and whispered to Ning Guidao beside him, "Look at Hui Concubine's appearance of dressing up in flowers, wearing a golden cloud smoke shirt, she is also worthy!" Ning Guiren glanced around cautiously, and then said, "You speak carefully, there are many people here, and you are not afraid of reaching the ears of Concubine Hui." ”

Qiao Guiren ignored Concubine Hui, and then gently stroked her lower abdomen and said, "What about reaching her ears?" Now that Bengui is not what she used to be, are you afraid that she will not succeed? Ning Guiren stretched out his hand and grabbed Qiao Guiren's hand and said, "Can't you keep a low profile?" ”

This move was seen by the sharp-eyed Concubine Yi in the distance, and before Ning Guiren finished speaking, Concubine Yi said loudly, "Qiao Guiren, Ning Guiren, what are you muttering about?" Why don't you speak up and let everyone hear about it? After Concubine Yi finished speaking, all the concubines around looked at Qiao Guiren and Ning Guiren, Ning Guiren was slightly embarrassed to let go of Qiao Guiren's hand, and then smiled and said, "Concubine Ji saw that Concubine Hui was so beautiful, so she chatted with Sister Qiao, but I didn't expect Sister Qiao to also feel that Concubine Hui was extremely beautiful, and she was really envious." ”

Concubine Yi immediately said with a straight face, "This palace doesn't see any envy when I look at the actions of the two of you. Concubine Wan smiled slightly with deep meaning on the side, "Even the woman is extremely beautiful when she looks at it, let alone in the eyes of the emperor, otherwise how could the emperor stay with Concubine Hui for two nights in a row." ”

Qin Yuan said with a smile, "Concubine Wan Niangniang's words are serious, how can the concubine's appearance be as good as Concubine Wan's Niangniang, the emperor also told the concubine last night that Concubine Wan's dignified Shuya is a model of the concubines in the palace, and the emperor said that you like gold the most, so the concubine only wore this cloud smoke shirt today." ”

Concubine Yi smiled indifferently and said, "Yes, for so many years, the emperor has always remembered Concubine Wan in his heart, and every year on Concubine Wan's birthday, the emperor does it himself, and such an honor is beyond the reach of all the sisters here." There was a look of provocation in Concubine Yi's eyes.

"The queen drove to ......"

With the eunuch's report, the queen walked out slowly, and everyone got up and said hello, "Say hello to the queen." ”

"It's all excused."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After everyone sat down, the queen opened her mouth leisurely, "Yesterday, the palace told everyone that it will soon be the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony, and the concubines will perform a smile on the Queen Mother's birthday. ”

At this time, Concubine Yi said, "The dance room (the department dedicated to court performances) is naturally arranged, and the concubines don't need too many performances, just one from each palace." The queen nodded slightly in agreement, "Concubine Wan, Concubine Shu, Concubine Duan, Concubine Xianggui, you can arrange it yourself." ”

The four of them responded in unison, and then Concubine Yi smiled lightly, "There are many talented people in Concubine Wan's palace, but you have to choose carefully." At this time, Concubine Shu continued, "Qiao Guiren's song "Guan Shanyue" can win the applause of the audience. Everyone looked at Qiao Guiren, only to see Qiao Guiren pretending to be coquettish and said, "Concubine Ji seems to be going to disappoint Concubine Shu, Concubine Ji is unwell, and Concubine Ji can't show her singing voice." ”

"Why?" The corners of Concubine Wan's mouth raised slightly at this time, "Yesterday, Qiao Guiren felt unwell, and the imperial doctor went to Qingzhi Pavilion for diagnosis and treatment, Qiao Guiren has been pregnant with a dragon fetus for three months." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the queen mother was suddenly overjoyed, "Really? Is Concubine Wan's words true? Concubine Wan replied, "Imperial Doctor Zhu personally diagnosed and treated, but he could still be wrong." ”

The queen suddenly closed her mouth happily, "Great! That's great! The emperor and the queen mother must have been very happy to learn about it. Concubine Duan also said with a happy look, "There has been no joy of the emperor's heir in the palace for a long time, this is really a great joy." ”

The queen nodded again and again, "Noble Qiao must pay attention to the dragon fetus, this palace will instruct the imperial dining room to prepare a good meal, and send more people to serve in your palace." Qiao Guiren smiled proudly, "Thank you for the grace of Queen Mother." ”

At this time, Concubine Wan said again, "Now that Qiao Guiren is pregnant with a dragon fetus, it is a great joy in the palace, and the queen is so caring that there will be no mistakes, but the Qingzhi Pavilion where Qiao Guiren lives faces north, and now it is winter, I am afraid that it will be cooler." ”

After thinking for a while, the queen said, "Can there be concubines in the Chengfu Hall of Yixiang Palace?" Concubine Wan replied, "No, it's idle now." The queen nodded and said, "Guiren Qiao is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, so let's move to Chengfu Hall tomorrow, Concubine Wan, you will send more people to help you tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the concubine should take care of the noble Qiao as a good student."

At this time, Qiao Guiren hurriedly knelt down and thanked him excitedly, "Concubine Ji thanks the queen for her grace." ”

The queen hurriedly motioned to the Empress Dowager Qiao to get up, "Get up quickly, don't kneel down if you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, you will have a good birth and raise a fetus in the Chengfu Hall from tomorrow, and you don't have to come to the palace every day in the future. ”

Qiao Guiren said with a look of great joy on his face, "Yes, Concubine Xie is the queen mother's care." ”

The queen instructed Qiao Guiren to do a lot of things before everyone dispersed and returned to the palace, Qin Yuan did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the Longevity Palace to greet the Queen Mother.

"Yuan'er greets the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother sat on the couch and said softly, "Sit down." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Qin Yuan straightened up and sat opposite the Queen Mother, Aunt Liu poured tea for the two, and the Queen Mother smiled lightly, "It's been two days since you entered the palace, but you still have adapted to life in the palace?" The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth curled slightly, "Empress Dowager Xie is worried, everything is fine with Yuan'er, and the emperor also loves Yuan'er." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "It's naturally good to be favored, you have a comfortable life, and the mourning family can be regarded as having an explanation for General Xue and your mother, the emperor has stayed with you for the past two days, and he must have some attachment to you." Qin Yuan smiled slightly, her face slightly bitter, "Noble Qiao is now happy with the dragon, presumably the emperor will rarely come to Yuan'er in the future." ”

The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully, "Whether the emperor has a heart for you or not, it is not about going to you or not, there are many concubines in the palace, and the emperor naturally wants to be wet with rain and dew, no matter how the women around the emperor change, there will always be you in his heart, and you can sit back and relax." Qin Yuan showed a wry smile on her face, the Queen Mother saw the clues, and then said in a serious tone, "Let go of the past, people always have to look forward, you are a smart person, there is no need to say more about the mourning family, the mourning family and your mother were good friends when they were young, the mourning family promised your mother to take good care of you, if you are not a smart and blessed person, the mourning family will not agree to you enter the palace." ”

Qin Yuan's eyes showed a hint of consternation, it seemed that the Queen Mother knew about herself and Prince Mu, and instantly turned to say calmly, "Yuan'er understands." ”
