It was late at night, the lights of the Jinling Imperial Palace were decreasing, and some dormitories and buildings began to turn off the lights, only the promenade and the sentry pavilion corner tower, the lanterns were hung high, and they were never extinguished.

Qixiang Hall is the dormitory of Concubine Wei.

The Southern Tang Dynasty was a small country, so it was impossible for the concubines in the harem of the Southern Tang Dynasty to gather the huge number of four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one imperial wives as the real Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu's harem is only the only one in the harem, Queen Zhou, and there are two concubines, one is the virtuous concubine Jiang Yingxue, and the other is the concubine Wei Huan, and the concubine and the concubine are vacant.

And Huang Baoyi and Liuzhu are among the nine concubines, Qiao's, Qiushui, and Yiai are just talented people and royal maids, and they are not high in the rank of the harem.

Speaking of this, Concubine Wei Shu also has a great background, because he is the granddaughter of Wei Cen, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Wei Cen was very favored and trusted in Li Jing's dynasty, and when Li Jing was still the prince, he was the prince of the East Palace. After Li Jing ascended the throne, he appointed his old cronies, and Wei Cen served in three departments in the six ministries, and Chen Jue, Feng Yanji, Feng Yanlu, and Cha Wenhui were combined into the Five Ghosts of the Southern Tang Dynasty by the people of the Tang Dynasty, which was also considered to be a time of power.

It's just that after the loss of the thirteen states in Jiangbei, Li Jing woke up and realized that the Song party was very talented and sparse, and twice conquered Chu and Minyue, which made the soldiers tired and the treasury seriously depleted, so that he could not form an army when resisting the attack of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which made the imperial court collapse from then on.

Therefore, in the later period of Li Jing's reign, he began to alienate himself from the Song Party, and these five ghosts suddenly fell out of favor, some died of illness, and some were degraded, but they were not completely erased, because that would cause great turmoil in the imperial court, offend the interests of too many Jiangbei officials, and was not conducive to the balance of various forces in the imperial court, so Li Jing finally left a group of Song Party people, and they were not cleaned up.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he still began to continue to use the people of the Song Party, but he also did not want the people of the Sun Party to dominate and be difficult to control.

Concubine Wei Shu is twenty-five years old this year, and her appearance is quite pretty, but compared with Emperor Zhou E, she is still much inferior, so before the queen is not sick, Li Yu rarely visits Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, and they all sleep in the Yaoguang Hall after the Great Zhou.

"How's the news going?" Concubine Wei asked her personal maid and confidant palace maid Luzhen.

The palace maid Luzhen said: "Back to Concubine Shuniang, Su Chen seems to have found out that someone poisoned the prince, and he touched the melon and found the eunuch Xiao Guizi, but Xiao Guizi has been wiped out, and there is no proof of death for the time being." ”

Concubine Wei frowned, with a hint of jealousy on her face, and said in an indifferent tone: "The kid surnamed Su really has some ability to find out this step." ”

Lu Zhen asked worriedly: "Concubine Shuniang, at present, the official family has summoned the three divisions for interrogation, and this matter is being thoroughly investigated, so what are we going to do next?" ”

Concubine Wei played with Yu Ruyi in her hand, and said with a cold smile: "Don't do anything, wait and see, the more you do, the more you make mistakes, that's it." ”

"Oh, good!" Midori nodded slightly, and said no more.

………

Southern Tang Palace, Jade Palace.

Princess Li Ziyan of Yongning was wearing a lilac skirt at this time, with lotus-colored narrow sleeves and a slender figure.

Empress Dowager Zhong is quite fond of Yongning, although she was not born by herself, but Yongning's mother died early, and she was raised by Empress Zhong for ten years at the age of six, so the relationship is also deep.

A few days ago, Empress Dowager Zhong was still joking with her, saying that Yongning's age was not young, and when she reached the marriageable age, she planned to find a suitable champion of the first list or the eyes of the list, Tanhua and the like from Jinshi and No. 1 in the coming year, and recruit her as a concubine.

Yongning was shy and reluctant, but he was also looking forward to what his future husband would be like?

In the past, she thought about her husband, who was a capable person with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and no girl wanted the man she married to be a wreck, but what it looked like was all out of imagination.

However, since two months ago, after reading Su Chen's poems, I saw the legendary history he wrote, as well as "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", and I was completely moved by the talent of Jiang Zuo Sulang, who had never met, even if I was in the palace, I was looking forward to seeing each other one day.

Unexpectedly, the first meeting was so sudden, Su Chen entered the palace to treat the queen and the prince, which was full of waves, and there were situations against him step by step, but Su Chen was resolving them one by one, not chaotic in the face of danger, calm and wise, Princess Yongning felt that after getting along with him, she felt more admiration.

It's better to be famous than to meet, Jiang Zuo Sulang, worthy of the name.

Princess Yongjia walked over and saw Yongning sitting at the table, holding her chin with one hand, her expression was weird, as if she was shyly laughing.

"Sister Huang, what are you thinking, so distracted?"

Yongning came back to her senses and saw Xiao Yongjia walking into her bedroom, and said with some astonishment: "Yongjia, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

Yongjia walked over, sat down at the table, and said a little nervously: "I saw the hanged little eunuch this afternoon, in the dormitory, I slept alone, I was a little scared when I closed my eyes, and I couldn't fall asleep after turning over, so I came to sleep with the imperial sister tonight." ”

After Yongning heard this, he reached out and stroked Yongjia's green hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, just live with me, have a companion." ”

"Hee-hee, it's been a long time since we've slept together!" Yongjia laughed and sighed again: "Too many things have happened in the past two days, all of them are related to this Su Chen, and I don't know if he can cure Empress Zhou and Xiao Zhongxuan!" ”

Yongning said with a firm face: "Yes, he is very powerful!" ”

"Is the imperial sister so confident in him?" Yongjia was a little puzzled.

Yongning's eyes were shining, and he said with great interest: "Poetry, medical skills, and things, all proficient, isn't such a person amazing?" It can't be described as a genius, it's just a demon, you've seen the previous champions, who has such an all-round talent as him, he can't even write poetry, let alone medical skills and knowledge of things. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Yongjia seemed to be moved by the words of the imperial sister, and after thinking about it, he also recognized this Jiang Zuo Sulang.

The more Princess Yongning spoke, the stronger the desire to see each other in her heart, and suddenly proposed: "He is now in Zhongxuan's dormitory, staying up all night to guard, I heard that he was ambushed on the way two days ago, and his body has been injured...... Let's bring some pastries and reward him, and by the way, see if Zhong Xuan's illness has an attack? ”

"Ah, send pastries?" Yongjia pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, go over and take a look, supervise what Su Chen is doing, whether he is lazy." ”

Princess Yongning glanced at her sister, in her mind, Su Chen was not such a lazy person.

The two sisters and princesses were very decisive, they did what they said, and instructed the palace maid to prepare some fine pastries, and they were about to go to the second prince's bedroom.
