"As soon as Concubine Ji saw me mention this matter, her face changed, it was obvious that she knew something, and she quickly drove me away, but she didn't want me to continue asking, for fear of revealing the truth. But if it is someone else's hand, why is Concubine Ji so afraid, but she has always been attached to Concubine Ling, and the princess's future life events may need Concubine Ling's help, except for Concubine Ling, I can't think of anyone who can let Concubine Ji cover up. ”

"And at my banquet last year, not only was Min Chang there, but Concubine Ji also came, she shouldn't have come, I'm afraid it was Concubine Ling who asked her to inquire about the child in my womb." Hua Ying went through the causes and consequences of the matter, and only felt that it was the closest to the truth, but how did Concubine Ling get involved with Niu Hulu Linyue?

After saying what she was half-guessing and half-reasoning in one breath, Hua Ying really felt that she was a little physically and mentally exhausted, and when Huixin saw this, she went out and got a pot of warm tea: "Niangniang can't drink cold now, drink some water, don't be too anxious." ”

Seeing that her mood calmed down a bit, Qingxu asked: "What should the lady do next, if it is really Concubine Ling, it is not something that can be rash." ”

"Of course not." Hua Ying slipped her cup, her eyes were complicated: "All this is just my speculation according to what Ji Concubine and the minions said, let's go and find out first, what is the origin of my two light gauze brocades." ”

There are many people under Fang Jia's hands, all of whom are under Baoyi's banner and are on errands in the palace, and now Hua Ying wants to use it, it is naturally easy, but if it is really Concubine Ling who did this, it is not so simple, Hua Ying clearly understands in her heart that there is a Fucha family behind Concubine Ling, unless she really makes a big mistake, the emperor also turns a blind eye, and Hua Ying is not sure whether she can find conclusive evidence, and now she can only ask her family to investigate secretly.

At the other end, the emperor of Qingliangyuan didn't know, and was drinking the newly brewed osmanthus sweet wine with other concubines who followed, surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, who seemed to be very comfortable, but in his heart he was still annoyed that Hua Ying's child could not be born smoothly, and drank the wine sullenly, ignoring the concubines who said this.

Concubine Jiang saw that the emperor had something in his heart, and she also expected that because of Hua Ying's matter, the emperor did not have many heirs, and she hoped that the heirs would be prosperous, not to mention that Concubine Yun would be favored, so she persuaded her: "Your Majesty, with our sisters by your side, don't think about those unpleasant things, the concubine respects you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Min Chang smiled coquettishly: "The sisters in the palace are still young, and the emperor is also in his heyday, so he will definitely add a few more princes to the emperor." ”

"I don't think you're sad about Concubine Yun's dragon fetus at all, so don't be in front of me." The emperor put down his wine glass and was extremely displeased with Min's words.

Wen is often clever, and when he saw the emperor like this, he knew that the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's leg, and hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't mean that, it's just that the concubine is worried about Yun Niangniang, but she feels sorry for the emperor, and the emperor misunderstands the concubine." "In the end, she is also a woman she likes, and the emperor doesn't care, Min Changzai is able to speak after all, and the emperor who coaxed him in a few words turned the matter over.

The Shun nobles on the side listened to these heartless words, and wanted to drop the cup and leave, and remembered Hua Ying's instructions before leaving, they always felt that their hearts were not smooth, and they felt that the emperor was not good, and they did not punish these heartless women: "It's hard to be here, and this little master will thank you for your care for my sister." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine has recently learned a new dance, why don't you dance it to the emperor?" Naidu, who spoke, agreed, and the words were sweet, and the others didn't expect that people like children would also compete for favor.

"I always see that she is a child, and she talks like a little sister at home, but I didn't expect that she still has such skills." Concubine Jing lived close to her in Qingliangyuan, and she didn't see anyone when she looked up, and she occasionally talked together, but now seeing her like this, she felt that she was not interested at all.

Concubine Jing has been brought up very well since she was a child, and there are few concubines in her mother's family, and there are few people who can compete for favor, so she can't see this kind of scene, she just thinks that she should fulfill her duties as a concubine to the emperor according to her grandmother's teachings.

"Sister Jing Concubine has been in the palace for so long, don't you understand, there are more such people, one in front of one and one behind the back, just to climb up by unscrupulous means." Yu Guiren sat next to her and snorted coldly, Yu Guiren has not been in the palace for a long time, but he talks like an old man, Jing Concubine smiled, and she didn't feel offended, this girl is always rectum, she doesn't know the twists and turns at all, and she is a master who offends people.

"Let's just talk about this between our sisters, can you be quiet, forget that you were warned by the Queen Mother last time?"

Yu Guiren wilted at this time: "Hey, this palace is troublesome, this can't be said and that, in the end, it's not interesting, Sister Jing Concubine has been mentioning this matter, I knew that I was sitting next to Shun Guiren." ”

Opposite them are Xuan Guiren and Ning Guiren, since the last time they embroidered flowers, the two have become familiar with each other, and Ning Guiren always teaches Xuan Guiren something she doesn't understand, especially the needlework girl, who came and went, and chatted.

"The emperor likes this, but I don't dare to do it." Xuan Guiren sighed, what she was referring to was just to attract the emperor with some talents, in fact, there was no shortage of ladies in the palace, who didn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, these were all from elementary school, but they didn't put down their bodies in front of everyone.

Looking at the Du promise in front of him, he was smiling and singing and dancing, but in fact, he was not as good as Xuan Guiren dancing in the boudoir, and his skills were not a few points, but he was better than pleasing people, and the emperor was happy, and finally showed a smile.

The emperor actually knows in his heart that these people from big doors will not easily show people as dancing girls like this, even if they performed last time Ning Guiren, they were also able to get on the stage, generous and elegant, and there are not many people like Du Yuwen who often compete for performances every once in a while.

But the emperor eats more than one dish, and always wants to change the tricks, the women in the palace are like clouds, there are all kinds of things, there are extremely dignified and elegant queens, there are also interpretive flowers like Concubine Jiang, Concubine Ling is a little pampered, and a few people with cold personalities, such as concubines and nobles, who are homely and natural, and Hua Ying, who is different from outsiders, and who is very comfortable doing things, and he doesn't mind having a few who can accompany him for entertainment.

"Sister Xuan, I don't understand, when the Queen Mother asked me to train me, she said that the women in our palace, sometimes, have to be more open, so as to catch the emperor's favor." Ning Guiren seemed to complain when she heard her like this, her eyes rolled, and she talked about her own affairs: "I can't let it go, this man has no impression of you." ”

"How do you let this go? I don't like to do something like that. "Actually, if you are familiar with Xuan Guiren, you know that she is actually a good talker, Ning Guiren secretly thinks that Xuan Guiren is cold and cold on the surface, like an ice beauty, and she is easy to talk in her bones, unlike the other concubine......

Speaking of the concubine, Ning Guiren almost had a cold shiver, the last time I passed by the concubine's room, I saw that there were few people inside and outside the house, and I saw only one imperial doctor entering, so I was aroused for a while, and when I stole the corner of the wall, I heard that it seemed to be talking about the third princess, but I didn't expect to be caught by Yun Concubine and Jing Concubine, and the face of the concubine was cold as if she was going to be eaten alive, but there must be something in this, she had to find time to find out clearly.

Thinking about it, Xuan Guiren called her worriedly, it turned out that seeing her expression became more and more wrong, this made Ning Guiren return to reality.

"What's wrong with you not talking? Are you feeling unwell?" Xuan Guiren regarded her as a friend, so he was a little concerned.

Ning Guiren shook his head: "It's okay, I was thinking about how to tell you just now, you put your ears closer, don't let others hear, this is taught by the Queen Mother's subordinates." ”

So the two whispered for a long time, and without Xuan Guiren, he was still a little worried: "You can't do this way, what you said makes people blush and heartbeat." ”

"Of course, you will come to my place from tomorrow, I will teach you how to do it, and then I will give you things, which will definitely make the emperor unforgettable."

Ning Guiren's cunning eyes blinked, and Xuan Guiren had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then thank you sister, I'm a little embarrassed to always bother my sister these days." ”

"Didn't I say it last time, my sister and I are like sisters, so I don't need to talk about thanks."

After chatting, Du promised to finish the dance, which made the emperor's heart beat soft, and he forgot some unpleasant things, so he personally pulled her up: "Concubine Ai danced well." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du promised a child's face, but flashed two blushes, shy like water, and a childish coquettish salute, the emperor was even more interested in his heart, so he decided to let Du promise to sleep tonight, so many days have not turned over the card, the first time is Du promised, many people envy Du promise's blessing.

The queen watched unhurriedly on the stage, after so many years of getting along, she almost knew what the emperor wanted to do in her every move, Qian Guiren and Qin promised to be gone, although she didn't win over anyone on the surface, but what she should do in the open and secretly was the same, this is her shrewdness.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are tired and want to go back to rest first, the emperor and the sisters continue."

Concubine Jiang stood up and saluted, knowing that the emperor had a new love, and she was not interested in talking to them. The emperor also readily agreed, feeling that this banquet was almost here, and there was no interest in the future, so he said: "It's not too early, all the concubines should go back to the palace to rest." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired."

Shun Guiren walked on the bridge that must be passed on the way back, and watched the reflection of the moon on the water surface being stirred by the sparkling waves of fish scurrying around: "It's over, my sister is not there, my heart is not stable, the emperor is really a ruthless person, my sister is so sad, it's only been a few days, and I'm playing with new love and old love." ”
