Xiang Hongxuan looked at the wooden leaf cup in his hand, and inadvertently shook between his fingers, and the light movement of the yellow leaves in the wooden leaf cup immediately reflected in Xiang Hongxuan's eyes, Xiang Hongxuan smiled slightly, and said: "The tea here is so interesting, I'm afraid I forgot to take the time to manage the harem." ”

Ling Xi's face froze, since the conflict between Feng Yingying and Xiao Xiangxiang, Xiang Hongxuan spent most of his time with the sick and injured Xiao Xiangxiang, he hadn't been to the harem for a long time, and he hadn't come to Qingfeng Yuan for a long time, as soon as he came, he said such things, what did Xiang Hongxuan mean?

"Your Majesty, the concubine was infected with the cold in winter, and her body was sick, the harem may have been negligent, and the concubine must pay special attention to the harem in the future."

Qin'er slowly walked into the house, holding the refreshments in her hand, Ling Xi took the refreshments in Qin'er's hand, and respectfully presented them to Xiang Hongxuan, Xiang Hongxuan took one of Ling Xi's hands, it was indeed a little cold, he frowned, put the refreshments in Ling Xi's hand on the side of a few cases, and said: "The queen's body is delicate, these things will be done by the palace people in the future, and the queen must take care of her body." ”

Ling Xi's hand was wrapped in Xiang Hongxuan's warm palm, which was extremely warm, Ling Xi smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine's body is fine. It's Concubine Shu, who is almost 5 months pregnant, and stays in Xiyan Palace all day, I'm afraid it's not in a good mood, if Your Majesty is not busy, go and see her, or let her go out for a walk, it's good for the child. ”

Xiang Hongxuan, who was still smiling, immediately lowered his face, he silently withdrew his hand, and said faintly: "Concubine Shu's affairs, the queen still don't worry about it, I think she is the best to stay in Xiyan Palace, with her suspicious heart, if she is allowed to mess around, my prince will not be born safely." ”

Ling Xi was taken aback, Xiang Hongxuan was still angry with Feng Yingying, it seems that Xiao Xiangxiang has been saying bad things about Feng Yingying in front of Xiang Hongxuan during this time, if Feng Yingying is not pregnant, Xiang Hongxuan is afraid that she will not only be grounded.

"Your Majesty, then let King Lin'an enter the palace to accompany Concubine Shu, when a woman is pregnant, it is most likely to be restless, in case Concubine Shu is in a bad mood and affects the prince in her womb, it will be bad." Ling Xi said cautiously again.

Xiang Hongxuan picked up the wooden leaves on a few cases, as if he thought of something, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said: "It's still the queen who thinks carefully, then let King Xuan Lin'an enter the palace, and before Concubine Shu gives birth, often go to Xiyan Palace to accompany Concubine Shu." ”

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty for Concubine Shu." Ling Xi said happily.

Although she can't change Xiang Hongxuan's opinion of Feng Yingying, and she can't debunk Xiao Xiangxiang's lies, let Feng Xiaotian enter the palace to accompany Feng Yingying, Feng Yingying has relatives by her side, Feng Yingying should be relieved.

Xiang Hongxuan shook the wooden leaf cup in his hand a few times, and said casually: "Queen, there are many newcomers in the harem in winter, is the old man in the harem going to be promoted to the next position?" ”

Ling Xi lowered his head and sneered, the only palace concubines in the harem who can be promoted are Zhao Xinyue and Xiao Xiangxiang, although there is still a Qiao Xinyou, but she is a palace person, not a palace concubine, she should not be the old man who said to Hongxuan, and Zhao Xinyue did not have a child, she can't be promoted to the concubine position, and only Xiao Xiangxiang is left, this may be what Xiang Hongxuan said about managing the harem.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how you plan to enshrine the palace concubine?"

Xiang Hongxuan put the wooden leaf cup in his hand on the side of a few cases, he took Ling Xi's hands again, and said softly: "Queen, forget about the others, but Xiao Nu Shi was slandered when she entered the palace, and she was wronged in the harem some time ago, I want to make her a wife, what do you think?" ”

The palm that originally made Ling Xi feel warm suddenly made her feel gradually cooled, and a chill flowed to the bottom of Ling Xi's heart, she looked at Xiang Hongxuan's eager eyes, she knew that Xiang Hongxuan wanted a word of agreement, but she didn't know if it was because she was angry at Xiao Xiangxiang and Zhao Xinyue's scheming, or because she felt empathy for Feng Yingying's grievances, Ling Xi said lightly: "Your Majesty, if you insist on making the concubine Shi his wife, the concubine has nothing to say, but if you ask the concubine if it is appropriate, then the concubine thinks it is inappropriate." ”

Xiang Hongxuan's face stiffened, and his palm unconsciously let go of Ling Xi's hand, he looked at Ling Xi with an incredible look, and said, "The queen said something wrong?" ”

"The position of the women in the Dongyu harem is either related to the family lineage, or related to the heirs, the history of the Xiao girl has neither the merit of childbirth, nor the background of a serious child, the identity of the daughter of the dead country enters the palace, if Your Majesty gives her the title of a three-grade wife, how should the women in the harem deal with themselves?"

Maybe it was because Ling Xi was the first time he ran into Hongxuan for the affairs of the harem, he stared at Ling Xi for a long time, and said faintly: "Is it the woman of the harem who doesn't know how to deal with herself?" Or the Queen? ”

Ling Xi also sneered at Xiang Hongxuan, and said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty thinks that the concubine is jealous of the history of the concubine?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"The concubine thinks she has a clear conscience, and she treats anyone in the harem equally, including the history of the Xiao girl, but the facts are the facts, and the concubine really can't see any merits that she can be praised." Ling Xi said angrily.

"Is it true that the history of the Xiao Nu has no merits to be seen by the queen, or is it that the queen turns a blind eye to her merits because of the prejudice in her heart, just like when the queen's brother-in-law openly criticized the history of the Xiao Nu in the main hall, you all have prejudice against the history of the Xiao Nu as the daughter of the dead country."

Ling Xi looked at the paranoid Xiang Hongxuan in front of her, Xiang Hongxuan at this moment was really like Ling Xiao in her impression, and it was useless to say anything.

"Your Majesty, the concubine said, if you have to give Xiao Nushi a lady title, the concubine has nothing to say."

After saying that, Ling Xi bowed her head and was silent, she stood silently in front of Xiang Hongxuan's eyes, she said everything she had to say, although it was very irrational, and she might not be able to change the ending, but she didn't know why, she wanted to say, she wanted to say, she didn't want to be like when she was a child, she couldn't do anything, she wanted to give it a try, even if it was just for comfort.

Xiang Hongxuan's face gradually leaked a painful expression, he looked at Ling Xi's resolute expression, and said: "When did you start, whether it is my former dynasty or the harem, you are becoming more and more self-assertive, queen, you have changed. ”

Ling Xi raised a pair of big eyes, looked at Xiang Hongxuan, and said bitterly, "Has the concubine changed?" The concubine doesn't feel that the concubine's heart has always been the same, but His Majesty has changed. ”

"Presumptuous."

Xiang Hongxuan roared angrily, he got up and quickly came to Ling Xi's eyes, and asked, "Empress, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"The concubines have always known, only His Majesty doesn't know." Ling Xi replied coldly.

Xiang Hongxuan, who was furious, turned around sharply, and threw the wooden leaves on several cases to the ground, and with a bang, the black porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground in an instant, emitting a little black light under the faint light in the room.

Ling Xi leaned over and picked up a piece of black porcelain, and suddenly a tear was sprinkled on the black porcelain piece in her hand, Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, and the anger just now was also consumed in this little bit of black light and tears, he frowned slightly, and said: "If the queen insists on this, I will do what you want." ”

After saying that, Xiang Hongxuan strode out of Qingfeng Garden, Ling Xi stood in the room in a daze, as if she didn't care about Xiang Hongxuan's goings or stays, she stared at the wooden leaf cup in her hand, silent.

Aunt An and the other palace people heard the movement in the house, and saw Xiang Hongxuan leave with some anger, they hurried to the house, only to see that the house was scattered with black porcelain pieces, Aunt An picked up the black porcelain pieces on the ground distressedly, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this peerless rare product is broken like this." A good pair, only one remains, and it has become a unique product. ”

"One of a kind." Ling Xi muttered to himself.

.....................................................................................................................

Zhaoqing looked at Xiang Hongxuan without saying a word, pouring wine into a cup, and seemed to have a lot of depression in her heart, she asked softly: "Brother Huang, I don't know if the wine in my mansion is too good, or Your Majesty has a good idea, as soon as you arrive at my princess's mansion, you are about to drink a jar of wine, Brother Huang, are you worried about anything?" Something happened again in the previous dynasty? Or did Xihua have an accident again? ”

Xiang Hongxuan poured himself another glass of wine, he raised his head and drank it all, he had a drunken dream of death, he said drunkly: "There is nothing to do in the previous dynasty, the imperial sister's suggestion is excellent, I have planned to send Feng Xiaotian back to Xihua to compete for the throne at the right time, and today there is a military report that Emperor Kangqing's health seems to have improved, and those princes in Xihua have their own ghosts, as long as there is a good time, I will send Feng Xiaotian back to Xihua again, and the battle for the throne in Xihua can be staged, absolutely wonderful." ”

After speaking, Xiang Hongxuan poured himself another glass of wine and laughed proudly.

"Then it seems that the royal brother is hungry for my wine." Zhaoqing continued to ask Xiang Hongxuan tentatively, she didn't believe that Xiang Hongxuan drank so badly, just because the wine in her house was better than the harem? It's not the previous dynasty, it's the harem, for her, the more chaotic the harem, the better.

Xiang Hongxuan put down the wine glass in his hand and asked seriously: "Imperial sister, you say, how can a woman say that she can change?" ”

"Brother Huang, which harem beauty has you been hurt by?"

Xiang Hongxuan bowed his head and smiled bitterly, he drank another glass of wine, and said: "The Xiao Nu Shi around me has been sick for a long time because she is not suitable for the winter of Dongyu, and she had a misunderstanding with the Shu Concubine some time ago, and she was greatly wronged, but unfortunately she is the daughter of the dead country, and I can't think of any good way to make the Xiao Nu Shi stretch her heart for a while. ”

Xiang Hongxuan avoided the important and trivialized, did not mention the matter of Jin Feng Xiao Xiangxiang, let alone the unhappiness in Qingfeng Yuan just now, these things are too sensitive, for Zhaoqing, a princess who has already set foot in the previous dynasty, Xiang Hongxuan still feels that the less Zhaoqing knows about the affairs of the harem, the better.

Zhaoqing came to Xiang Hongxuan's side, filled Xiang Hongxuan with a glass of wine, and said: "This thing is not easy to do, I heard that Pingcheng, the old capital of Nanxi, is a place without winter, if Your Majesty takes Xiao Nu Shi Nan on a tour, I am afraid that Xiao Nu Shi will be well for any illness, and Your Majesty doesn't want to go to Pingcheng Military Camp to see?" ”

Xiang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he immediately came to the spirit, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, this idea is really good, it is said to be a southern tour, but it can be justified to go to the Pingcheng military camp to have a look, and count it in one fell swoop.

"The imperial sister has a good idea, and when I go back, the imperial sister will go out on patrol with me, and it just so happens that the imperial sister can go to Pingcheng to meet the concubine."

Zhaoqing sneered, and said without interest: "Your Majesty's southern tour is far away, I can't bear this hardship, so my sister won't go." ”

As soon as he saw Xiang Hongxuan drinking in the house, he immediately lowered his head, neither dared to exit the house, nor did he dare to continue to walk forward, standing in the house, very conspicuous.

Zhaoqing glanced at the panicked Qiao Qi, and was startled at first, but soon she chuckled calmly and said, "Qiao Lang, quickly pour wine for Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Qiao Qi heard this, he immediately knelt respectfully in front of Xiang Hongxuan, picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine for Xiang Hongxuan, Xiang Hongxuan looked at the white-faced little student in front of him, he was very delicate, and his body was thin, if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was a young lady.

Xiang Hongxuan raised the wine glass in his hand, staggered Qiao Qi's pour, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xiang Hongxuan's question made Qiao Qi even more overwhelmed, his hand holding the wine jug stopped in mid-air, he secretly glanced at Zhaoqing, Zhaoqing immediately said: "He is a servant in my mansion, and his skills are superb. ”

Saying that, Zhaoqing glanced at Qiao Qi again and said, "Qiao Lang shouldn't pour wine for Your Majesty soon, wait a while, you can play a song for Your Majesty." ”

Qiao Qi immediately respectfully poured wine to Xiang Hongxuan again, Xiang Hongxuan looked at the wine glass in his hand, sneered, got up and left the table, and when he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Imperial sister, this servant is not suitable to stay in the princess's mansion, let him out of the princess's mansion." ”

As soon as she heard this, Qiao Qi was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees, trembling all over. Zhaoqing looked indifferent, and said softly: "Your Majesty, are there no other women in the military camp of the concubine?" ”

"How dare he?" Xiang Hongxuan roared angrily.

Zhaoqing smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Of course the horse dares, because I acquiesced, there are military camps in the north, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of military camps in Pingcheng, Your Majesty don't be surprised, this is the way of my husband and wife with the horse." ”

Xiang Hongxuan let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Nonsense." With that, he strode out of the princess's mansion.

Zhaoqing picked up Qiao Qi, who was still trembling, and said softly: "Qiao Lang, don't be afraid, you don't have to sneak around in the future, wait, it won't be long before I can get you a former court official, okay?" ”

Qiao Qi raised his breathtaking Danfeng eyes, looked at Zhaoqing in surprise, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course, Princess Ben said that it will make you a human being for a while."
