"Oh?" Yinzhen was in a good mood today, stopped holding the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of grace the queen wants to ask for?" ”

Wu Yashi and the concubines below also looked at the queen with exquisite makeup with curiosity, they were all guessing what the queen's so-called grace was, only Ling Ruo vaguely guessed a little, and the piece of meat that was being chewed in his mouth suddenly became tasteless.

"Concubine Xi prayed for the Qing Dynasty that day, left the palace for half a year, and has been eating mushrooms and fasting, this intention is really commendable, and it should be rewarded, so the concubine wants to ask for a grace for Concubine Xi's sister and promote her to a concubine." When Nala said this, he kept wearing a bright smile, as if it was really for Ling Ruohao.

Wu Ya's eyes were cold, and the look that was still a little smiling just now gradually cooled down, but Yin Zhen was thoughtful, as for the other concubines, they didn't dare to say anything about this matter because of their identity, they just looked at Ling Ruo with jealous eyes. Concubine, how many people can't get close to this position in their lives, and can only be forced to look up. Niu Hulu's He De can not be paid attention to by the emperor, and the queen has to look at it differently.

For a while, the entire Chuxiu Palace was silent, Nian Shi clutched the ivory carved chopsticks, trying not to let the anger that gradually gathered in her heart erupt, as for whether her face was good-looking or not, she was already flawless, and Dai Jia's body, who was sitting next to her, involuntarily leaned to the other side, for fear of being contaminated with her anger.

Wen Ru and the Guerjia clan invariably showed a worried look, the position of the concubine seemed to be beautiful, but Yu Ling Ruo was like sitting in a volcanic crater, and the magma that would erupt at any time was enough to incinerate her to the point of no bones, and she said it in front of the Queen Mother and the Nian family, the queen really "hurt" Ling Ruo to the bones.

For Ling Ruo, it was not the first time that she had gathered everyone's eyes in one body, but this time, it was like countless steel needles constantly piercing into her skin, making her feel pain all over her body.

"What does the emperor think?" Yin Zhen frowned with a slight wrinkle, as if he did not approve of this. He naturally liked Ling Ruo in his heart, but not now, and Su Yan would never be willing to be Ling Ruo and her. Thinking of this, Yin Zhen subconsciously glanced at the place where Nian's was, although she couldn't see her expression clearly because of Nian's bowing head, but it could be seen from her clenched chopsticks that her heart was not calm.

Wu Ya's eyelashes moved slightly, and the next moment she put the chopsticks on the table and said nonchalantly: "The emperor knows that the mourning family has never been very concerned about the affairs of the harem, the affairs of the concubine, the emperor and the queen can discuss it, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, they are all concubines in this palace, and the most important thing is to serve the emperor well, respect the queen, and don't overstep your duty." ”

As soon as Wu Ya's voice fell, there was a sudden "click" sound in the banquet, following the prestige, but it came from Nian's side, and as Nian's right hand slowly loosened, the chopsticks that were broken into four appeared in her palm, and then rolled down on the tablecloth embroidered with the golden boy jade and jade New Year's picture.

"What's wrong with the concubine?" Nala asked with concern, but he was not feeling well.

Nian Shi hid his trembling hands in his sleeves, and barely squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, "Let the queen worry, the concubine is fine." As for what the chopsticks will break, she didn't say, and she didn't need to say it, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Nala took his eyes off her casually, and looked at Yinzhen with a smile, this grace was what she asked for for Ling Ruo, so naturally there was no reason to object, so it was just Yinzhen who agreed.

Nala waited for a while, but never saw Yinzhen speak, and his surprise flashed under his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

"Ruo'er." At this time, Wen Ruyan called Ling Ruo in a low voice, and took the opportunity of raising his sleeves to cover it, and shook his head slightly at Ling Ruo. Although Concubine Yu didn't speak, she moved the chopsticks placed side by side on the table, so that the two chopsticks were crossed, and the meaning was self-evident.

Ling Ruo stroked away a trace of water stains that had been stained on her skirt at some point, got up in the eyes of everyone and walked to the table of Wu Ya's family, knelt down and said, "The concubine has something to say." ”

"Just say it, do it on your knees, get up." Yin Zhen said this, but Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "Please allow the emperor to allow the concubine to kneel and speak." ”

Before Yinzhen could speak, Wu Yashi suddenly spoke: "Since Concubine Xi said so, let's reply on our knees." ”

"Xie Huang Eniang!" After Ling Ruo kowtowed to the Wu Ya clan, he turned to kowtow to the Nala clan, and said, "The concubine thanks the queen for her love, but the concubine is immoral and incompetent, and she really doesn't dare to occupy the position of the concubine." ”

Nala smiled and said: "Concubine Xi is really sorry, you gave birth to the fourth elder brother for the emperor, and prayed for the Qing Dynasty for half a year, if Concubine Xi is useless, then the full of concubines, which one is considered meritorious?" ”

Ling Ruo kowtowed again, and the skirt of the purple silk embroidered peach blossom pattern spread out behind him, and the beauty was unusually beautiful under the lantern, "Raising Brother and sharing worries for the emperor is all within the concubine's responsibility, how dare to take credit, is to ask the queen to take back her life, otherwise the concubine would rather kneel here for a long time than dare to get up." ”

Nala's long eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little displeased, "What does Concubine Xi mean by such a prevarication?" ”

"Queen." Before Ling Ruo could answer, Wu Yashi spoke: "Since Concubine Xi thinks that she is not qualified to occupy the high position of a noble concubine for the time being, then let's hold off for a while, and when she really has this qualification, there is no need to rush this matter." ”

When Yin Zhen heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "What the emperor said is that this matter will be discussed later." ”

Seeing that both of them said this, the Nala clan had to agree, and bowed in the chair and said, "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." Then he turned his face again and said, "Okay, Concubine Xi has heard it, get up." ”

Ling Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked her and got up, and went back to her chair to sit down, she was really afraid that Yin Zhen would agree with Nala's words just now, but fortunately not.

Nala covered up the strangeness in his eyes by bowing his head and stroking his skirt, Yinzhen's attitude made her very strange, Yinzhen favored Niu Hulu, this is undoubted. But why did he disagree, originally according to her guess, Yin Zhen should be happy to see his success in this matter, did he have any doubts about himself?

No way! As soon as this idea popped up, she vetoed it, and if she really had suspicions, she couldn't have noticed it, and there should be another reason for it.

Seeing that Yinzhen did not mean that Jin Lingruo was a concubine, Nian's face slowed slightly, but he didn't have the heart to eat this meal anymore, and finally survived until the banquet fell, Wu Ya's left first because of his poor body, and Yinzhen and Nala lit the fireworks that had already been placed in the courtyard.

Once ignited, the sparks spread to all the leads, and then countless brilliant fireworks rushed into the night sky, turning into the night sky for a moment of eternal beauty.

The snow was still falling, looking at the dazzling streamers, Ling Ruo's thoughts unconsciously returned to that night nineteen years ago, which was the same, but she was outside the palace at that time, but now she is in the palace. It was on that night that she saw Yinzhen's helplessness and despair with her own eyes, and began to entangle with him.

Inadvertently turned around, and happened to see Yinzhen looking over, his eyes intertwined, and both of them unconsciously showed a smile.
