In the main hall of Yixiang Palace, the concubines and concubines sat on both sides in an orderly manner according to the order of position, the queen mother didn't like Concubine Wan, so she made an excuse and resigned from the banquet, and the queen also said that she was unwell and had not arrived, but even so, it was enough to prove the status of Concubine Wan in the harem.

In addition to the queen in the harem, the birthdays of other concubines have never been so grand, even if the concubines set up a banquet, it is just a banquet for the palace people, like this fanfare banquet full of palace concubines, there are only a few concubines, the emperor sent someone to reward a lot of treasures has expressed his heart, and Concubine Wan is naturally quite face-saving.

Concubine Wan sat alone in the center of the main hall, wearing a pair of red heart-saving begonia auspicious clothes overlapping shades, moon white butterfly dancing double chrysanthemum bandeau breast, the bottom of the peach background complex and gorgeous gold line long swing phoenix tail skirt dragged on the ground, the dancers and singers in the center of the hall sang and danced, and the concubines laughed and greeted each other. And Yi Guifei sat lazily in the front row, her expression was extremely indifferent, and she looked completely contemptuous, and then her eyes stopped at Ning Guiren, her eyes were full of unshaven color, if it weren't for Qin Yuan's arrival today, how could Yi Guifei not come to participate in Concubine Wan's birthday.

At this time, I only heard the eunuch outside preach in a long voice, "Concubine Hui has arrived in ......"

As soon as the news was transmitted, the singing and dancing girls in the hall hurriedly stopped, and then they all bowed down to spread a way for Concubine Hui, and the concubines also stopped talking, and their eyes were all curious looking at the door.

Then I saw Qin Yuan walking in slowly, the kind of lofty and invincible face, so that all the concubines and concubines were bright, and even forgot about jealousy, and then in the hall except for Yi Guifei, everyone got up together, respectfully walked the handrail and squatted and said, "Concubine/concubine/concubine, please give Hui Guifei Niangniang, Hui Guifei Niangniang Wan Fu." ”

Qin Yuan's pace was extremely slow, ignoring the concubines on both sides, her eyes kept facing straight ahead, looking at the unwilling concubine Wan above the main hall, she couldn't help but have a trace of contempt in her heart, and then walked to the front of the main hall, slowly squatted down and squatted on the handrail, "The concubine asks for peace to the concubine Yigui." ”

Concubine Yi, who originally had an indifferent expression, now turned into a color of joy, and said softly, "Take a seat." ”

"Xie Yi Guifei Niangniang." , Qin Yuan then thanked him for getting up, turned his head slightly indifferently, and said softly with a touch of softness on his lips, "Today is Concubine Wan's birthday, all the sisters don't need to be polite, let's get up." ”

After all the concubines and concubines thanked her, they sat silently in their respective positions, Qin Yuan's sudden arrival made the original lively hall very quiet, and now Qin Yuan has been in the palace for a year, compared to when she just entered the palace, now she has faded away from the pure and soft, a little more skillful and mature, now Qin Yuan's status in the palace, for the concubines, can be said to be unattainable, the eyes of the concubines are all looking at Qin Yuan, for a while the concubines have different hearts, jealousy, fear, Mo Luo, envy......

At this time, Concubine Wan, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, had long since disappeared with a smile like a flower, and her face was tense and showed a trace of displeasure, thinking that she would treat Qin Yuan as a monarch and minister in the future, and great shame came to her heart.

Qin Yuan sat down next to the concubine Yi, looked at the concubine Wan in the hall, Dan Xuanjiang lowered, picked up the teacup on the table, slowly scratched the tea cup Fei leakage hibiscus pattern heavy flower cover, Ling Ling said, "Today is the birthday of Concubine Wan, the palace is here to congratulate the birthday, this gold inlaid jasper all the way to the wishful pendant, is the palace outside the palace to ask for the baby, its jade is delicate, color jasper, I hope Concubine Wan likes." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows and tasted a sip of tea, her demeanor exuded a bit of elegance, and Zhang Dehai behind her held a red sandalwood brocade box in his hand, and went up to the front of the palace to give it to Concubine Wan.

And although Concubine Wan was smiling at the moment, she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, her cold eyes turned, as if a cold light shot out, her eyes looked directly at Qin Yuan, her light tone, but it seemed to contain everything, and there was a luxurious atmosphere in her coldness, "The concubine thanked Hui Guifei Niangniang, hey, but Hui Guifei Niangniang is now terminally ill, and she has just recovered from a serious illness and came to participate in the concubine's birthday. ”

Qin Yuan didn't get angry when she heard this, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, like a poppy blooming, "Concubine Wan doesn't have to be so polite, the emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, if it wasn't for the emperor's special order to come to the palace last night, the palace would not have come." ”

A short and clear sentence made Concubine Wan's original smile disappear in an instant, replaced by a look of disdain, the golden armor was slightly warped, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was clenched, her eyes were full of indifference.

At this time, Concubine Yi on the side slowly raised her lips and said in a sharp tone, "If this palace is not mistaken, the emperor will come every year on Concubine Wan's birthday, right?" ”

Qin Yuan then said, "The palace is still short to enter the palace, but I heard that on Concubine Wan's birthday last year, just because Concubine Wan borrowed the scenery to make love, she composed a poem for a while, and the emperor tried his best to plant a pond full of lotuses. sighed that Jun didn't know, and was ashamed to beg for mercy to Dongjun. ', Concubine Wan, this palace is right, right? ”

Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Wan, and her lips hooked up with a sneer, "Sister Hui remembered this when she said this, why didn't Concubine Wan tell everyone the story behind this poem?" ”

The singing and harmony of Concubine Yi and Qin Yuan made Concubine Wan's face extremely ugly, and she couldn't wait to step forward and break the two of them into pieces.

Concubine Yi then smiled indifferently, "Hey, if Concubine Wan wasn't so impulsive at the beginning, how could she be treated coldly by the emperor?" Qin Yuan pretended to be interested for a while, "Oh? Why is Concubine Wan impulsive? Why doesn't this palace know the way? Sister Yi said to listen to it. ”

Concubine Yi smiled softly, "Originally, there was an An promise in Concubine Wan's palace that she was fortunate to be pregnant......

"Smack!" , The sound of a teacup breaking instantly interrupted Concubine Yi's words, only to see Concubine Wan's face flushed red with anger at the moment, fine green tendons bulging out at the snow-white neck, her eyes were as big as copper bells, and her eyes were full of endless anger.

Qin Yuan stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist at this moment, the pear vortex sank slightly, and she smiled lightly, Yi Guifei flew coldly in an instant, a few traces of anger fainted on her face, and said bitterly, "Is Concubine Wan falling into the palace?" Concubine Wan's eyebrows became angry, and she said aggressively, "If Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui come to stir up the situation, then the concubines are not welcome, Xiuzhu, send off!" ”

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth instantly rose obliquely, "This palace and Concubine Yi just talked about Concubine Wan's past, why does Concubine Wan need to be so mindful?" Since Concubine Wan did it blatantly, why should she be afraid of people saying it? ”

At this time, I only heard a bright voice in the distance, "Today is the birthday of Concubine Wan's mother, it should be lively, why should the two mothers be so afraid of each other?" When Qin Yuan heard the reputation, it turned out to be Ning Guiren, who had never looked at her since she entered the hall, and the hatred in her eyes was imperceptible.

Concubine Yi glanced at Ning Guiren contemptuously, "This palace is talking to Concubine Wan, which round will get you a little nobleman to interject." ”

"Concubine Ji just wants the two ladies to take care of the overall situation."

Concubine Yi wanted to say something, but was preempted by Qin Yuan, "Come on, Ning Guiren confronted the palace in public, violated the palace rules, and pulled down and hit the thirty boards!" ”

Qin Yuan's sudden punishment made everyone in the hall shocked, and then the eunuch walked in and stepped forward to capture Ning Guiren, Ning Guiren resisted for a while and said, "Let go of me!" Concubine Hui, you punish concubines so indiscriminately, aren't you afraid of the concubines? Qin Yuan sat indifferently in place, as if she hadn't heard it at all, and ignored Ning Guiren at all.

"Who dares to move Ning Guiren to try!" , Concubine Wan couldn't control her anger anymore, and quickly got up from her chair, "No one wants to be wild in my Yixiang Palace today!" ”

Not to be outdone, Concubine Yi quickly got up and roared loudly, "Presumptuous! Concubine Wan, the emperor is used to you, but the palace is not used to you! ”

Qin Yuan didn't show a trace of panic at the moment, "Concubine Wan, is this going to resist the decree of this palace?" Concubine Wan smiled very unsparingly, "Hmph, Concubine Hui, don't think that the emperor and the queen mother are afraid of you when the palace spoils you!" In this Yixiang Palace, but my Concubine Wan has the final say, but she is just a young girl for a year, and she has come to the head of the palace, and when the palace is with the emperor, you are still coquettish in the arms of the nurse in the mansion! ”

Qin Yuan suddenly clenched her fists, looked at Concubine Wan angrily, and wanted to open her mouth to argue, but she heard a strong voice from a man at the door, "Concubine Wan, Hugh is rude!" I saw Qing Cang standing majestically at the door, and all the concubines were shocked, and for a while, except for Concubine Wan, they all got up and saluted.

Qing Cang then slowly entered the main hall, walked to Qin Yuan's side, slowly leaned over and helped Qin Yuan up, Qing Cang instantly said softly, "I knew that Lu Dao was like this, so I wouldn't let me come." As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Qing Cang was so anxious that he forgot to use the word "I" in his title, and there was no one around on weekdays, but now it is indeed a little inappropriate in front of many concubines.

Qin Yuan disagreed, "The concubine is incompetent, and the birthday that was originally good has made the concubine's stubborn temper disturbed." Qing Cang slowly shook his head, "I heard it outside, I don't blame you." ”

Qing Cang then said to everyone, "Let's all be flat." Everyone got up and stood nervously in place, and no one dared to sit down.

Qing Cang then looked at Concubine Wan in the palace and said indifferently, "Why don't you salute me?" Concubine Wan stood unruly, her face tense and did not answer, Qing Cang then raised her voice and said, "I'm asking you, can't Concubine Wan hear?" ”

Concubine Wan said indifferently, "The concubine can hear it." Qing Cang was even more angry for a while, "Then why don't you answer?" Concubine Wan, am I pampering you too much? ”

Concubine Wan raised her lips and chuckled, "Is the emperor too indulgent to Concubine Hui now?" ”

"Presumptuous! Come on, declare my will, Concubine Wan ignored the palace rules, disrespected me, and immediately moved to the Pure Heart Palace and was grounded for half a month! The Pure Heart Hall is a place used by the harem to stop the concubines who have made mistakes.

At this time, Ning Guiren said in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the ins and outs of the matter?" ”

"I've heard everything, what else is there to ask!"

"The emperor just heard one-sidedly, Concubine Hui Guifei simply continued to come today."

Qin Yuan was not to be outdone at this time and said, "What Ning Guiren said made the palace feel wronged, if it wasn't for the emperor last night ordering the palace to come today, do you think the palace would come?" What will the palace continue to do in public? This palace fined you thirty boards, is Ning Guiren not convinced? ”

Before Ning Guiren could argue, Qin Yuan then pleaded, "The concubine begs the emperor to return to the position of the concubine Hui Guifei, now the position of the concubine can't even be tamed by a nobleman, I really don't know what the meaning is to deserve it." Qing Cang hurriedly leaned down again and helped Qin Yuan up, "How can the concubine who is sealed by me be meaningless?" ”

Then Qing Cang yelled at the eunuch who captured Ning Guiren, "You don't understand Concubine Hui's words, do you?" After the punishment, send it to the Pure Heart Temple! Seeing that Qing Cang was angry, how dare they slack off, they hurriedly escorted Ning Guiren down, and several eunuchs walked to Concubine Wan's side, Concubine Wan's lips curled slightly, "What?" Do you still dare to bet on this palace? ”

The eunuch obviously showed a hint of meaning, and Concubine Wan couldn't help but sneer, "That's it, the palace will leave by itself!" Then his face became extremely ruthless, and his diameter crossed that of Qing Cang and Qin Yuan, and slowly walked out of the main hall......
