If a wall-head grass like Zhao Yunniang really stays, sooner or later it will cause trouble.

Now you have to find a suitable opportunity to hold her firmly in the palm of your hand, or ......

"You go and get ready, I have something to do to go to the palace." Tuoba Yuan's expression suddenly turned grim, and he said.

The secret guard behind him responded, turned around and hid in the vast night.

Half an hour later, in the splendid palace.

Out of concern for safety, every meeting between Zhao Yunniang and Tuoba Yuan would be carried out in the name of visiting Concubine Li.

The palace people served the tea and retreated, Concubine Li stared at her with a ruddy face, and her eyes became more and more embarrassed.

"Concubine Yun has recently been favored again, why didn't you ask the emperor to promote your position?" Concubine Li's red lips opened slightly, and the contempt in her eyes was undisguised.

"The concubine doesn't care about the rank," Zhao Yunniang lowered her eyebrows, and when she heard the displeasure in her words, she thought about how to please her, "The emperor will come to the Niangniang Palace when he is free, and the concubine got some new oranges a few days ago, and then ordered someone to send them over." ”

Oranges are generally grown in the south, and it takes a lot of work from picking them to carefully selecting them and transporting them.

Although it is said that the amount of tribute paid every year is quite large, but after the distribution of the ministers of the previous dynasty, it is very rare to be able to reach the harem concubines.

Only favored concubines can get one or two.

Besides, there are frequent droughts this year, and I have never heard the emperor say that he wants to reward oranges, but I don't want to go to her palace.

Concubine Li was a little unhappy in her heart, and moved her lips, not wanting to worry about her.

But Zhao Yunniang poked her sore feet again and again, "The emperor said that this orange is the most nutritious, and it is of great benefit to the growth of the fetus, so I specially let the concubine eat more." ”

"Then Concubine Yun don't let down the emperor's kindness, this orange is so valuable, if you miss the dragon fetus, this palace really can't stand it."

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Yunniang realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly calmed down and changed her words, "Where is this child's mother's body important?" It is precisely because this orange is hard-won and precious that it can be worthy of the identity of the mother. ”

Concubine Li's face softened a little when she heard this, and she reluctantly accepted the orange, picked it up and rolled it in the palm of her hand.

There was joy in his eyes that couldn't be concealed: "Well, even if you have some intentions, I won't teach this palace to protect you for nothing these days!" ”

Tuoba Yuan was not interested in any of this, watching the communication between them, but he didn't care at all about what was going on.

The top priority was to get rid of Tuoba Jun, and the rest was of no importance to him at all.

With his mediocre brain, how long do you want to occupy the position of prince?

"Now Concubine Yun is a palace person next to her father, I'm afraid that no one in this palace will dare to respect you. Tuoba Jun's wings are growing, I don't know what you plan to do next? Tuoba Yuan tapped his finger on the edge of the table, and there was no abnormality on his face.

The implication in these words couldn't be more obvious, Zhao Yunniang is not a fool, knowing that pretending to be stupid at this moment is not good for herself.

"Then get rid of Tuoba Jun's wings one by one. The concubines are powerless to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but in this harem, they can no longer let Tuoba Jun appear. Zhao Yunniang chuckled and nodded in response.

Although her ability may not be enough, but with Concubine Li, what are you afraid of when you join forces?

"Don't worry, I have the business of the previous dynasty. You just need to work with my mother and control the harem. Tuoba Yuan was obviously very satisfied with this, and he was no longer restrained, and simply spoke openly and honestly.

"As long as I give birth smoothly, if His Royal Highness can promise my mother and son the safety of the future, and the rest of my life will be prosperous and rich, it is feasible to ascend to this throne......" After Zhao Yunniang finished speaking, she saw Concubine Li's face suddenly change dramatically.

She picked up the teacup full of hot water and threw it over, her expression a little incredulous, her voice sharpened with annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a great sin of rebellion! ”

The former prince is a lesson from the past.

If it really touches the emperor's scales, even if it is his own son, it will not end well.

Not to mention her feelings for the emperor over the years, she is also reluctant to risk her son.

Zhao Yunniang didn't expect that what she said was wrong, and immediately knelt down with a panicked face, not daring to say a word.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yuan on the side helped her up, his thin lips opened lightly, quite seductive, "I really didn't see the wrong person." As long as you can help me sit on the throne, I can agree to your current request! ”

"Yes." She didn't hesitate at all, and her heart was a little nervous.

In order to show his sincerity, he nodded directly, and then found a reason to go back.

Tuoba Yuan saw all this in his eyes, became more and more firm in his previous thoughts, and turned to comfort Concubine Li: "Mother concubine, my father is now old and frail, and he has countless concubines over the years, we should also think about our future plans......

Concubine Li didn't know this, a husband and wife for a hundred days, if it wasn't for the end of the corner, she would not change her mind.

Tuoba Yuan sighed slightly, still unable to bear to break her illusions.

Concubine Yun returned to the palace, and the smile on her face cooled down.

She stretched out her hands and massaged her temples, a tired look on her face.

Today's events can be regarded as a warning to myself.

Since you have chosen this path, why don't you know that Tuoba Yuan is only using himself?

Once her chess piece is useless, she will be kicked away quickly, and Concubine Li will give her a face again and again, is it hard to guarantee that she has not thought about the throne?

"Heh, this mother and son are really calculating!" Zhao Yunniang snorted coldly, picked up the tea on the mahogany table, took a sip and found that it was cold tea, and then asked people to step forward to add tea.

They are just a cooperation of interests, and whoever can give her the most favorable conditions, of course, she can take refuge in whomever she wants.

Man does not perish for his own sake.

If Tuoba Yuan does not agree to her conditions in the future, she will also pull him off the throne at all costs!

Either way, it's always a good idea to leave yourself a trail out......

Zhao Yunniang wrinkled her brows and thought about it, she already had another plan in her heart.

She ordered someone to make the flower cake and took it to the imperial study herself.

Although the emperor had not let her come here before, he did not explicitly forbid her to appear here.

When the eunuch at the door of the house saw her, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly trotted over: "Yo, Concubine Yun is still pregnant, why did she come here on this hot day?" ”

Now this one in the harem is pregnant, and the emperor is still very important, if he can successfully give birth to a prince in the future, then ......

"I'll send some pastries to the emperor......" Zhao Yunniang nodded with a smile, and asked the maid behind her to send the pastries over.

The eunuch looked at her, and then his eyes fell on those delicate and small pastries, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed: "The emperor is holding a meeting with the Minister of Military Aircraft, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to see you at this time." ”

The smile on her face froze, and her dark eyes suddenly opened up to wipe displeasure, but it was fleeting.

But he still had a gentle smile on his face: "I understand, and I hope that my father-in-law can accept the pastries and send them to the emperor later, and it will not be in vain for me to go." ”

"This is natural," the eunuch nodded in response, and then he glanced at the little eunuch behind him, and took the pastry in the maid's arms, "Concubine Yun has to pay attention to her body, the emperor still has you in his heart." ”

After Zhao Yunniang finished delivering the pastries, she stuffed a small bag of gold leaves into Fang Cai's father-in-law before turning around and leaving.

If she first entered the palace, she might still believe these words of the eunuch, but now she only feels hypocritical.

This so-called favor, I'm afraid it's just a disguise, aren't you counting on the meat in your stomach?

She knew this in her heart, but she wouldn't say it easily on her face.

Whoever is in this palace, who is not a personal essence, the respect and respect that seems on the surface are all fake, and no one knows what it will be like behind the scenes.

If there is really no scheming city, it will only end up miserably in the end, just like the previous Le Yan.

Even if he is good-looking, what can he do if he can seduce a man, and in the end, he will not end up with no bones?

Passing through the flowers of the Imperial Garden, perhaps because it had rained a few days ago, some moss has grown on the path now.

It looks like it's eerie and damp outside, which makes people feel scared.

Zhao Yunniang was afraid of the fetus in her womb, so she prepared to take a detour back.

"Niangniang, these chrysanthemums can be very beautiful." The maid followed behind her, thinking about how to please her, so she proposed, "The slave maid heard that the chrysanthemum tea clears the heat and relieves the heat, and I saw my mother do it at home when I was a child, but Concubine Yun wants to pick some back?" ”

Zhao Yunniang glanced at those words, but ignored her words, raised her feet and walked out two or three steps, as if she remembered something in her mind, and turned back.

"I think it's been hot recently, and the emperor loses his appetite every time he eats, and he eats less, if you know how to make chrysanthemum tea, then pick some back."

"Yes." The maid was overjoyed and immediately began to pick chrysanthemums.

At dusk and sunset, the emperor had dinner in Concubine Li's palace, and then went to Zhao Yunniang's palace as usual to take a look.

The candles in the room flickered, and the faint warm light reflected two female figures through the papier-mâché window lattice.

"Think about it carefully, how are these tiger head shoes embroidered, if the embroidery is good, I will naturally reward you." Zhao Yunniang frowned slightly, holding a needle and thread in one hand, and her eyes fell on the tiger head shoes that were only half-embroidered on her knees.

The embroidery girl pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak, so she embroidered some pearls and jade on the tiger head shoes, and forgot the next stitch, and couldn't help but sweat profusely.

"What do you do needlework at night, and I'm not afraid of my own eyes." The Emperor walked in from outside the room with a doting look in his eyes.

It seemed that she was in a good mood, Zhao Yunniang put down the tiger head shoes in her hand and threw herself into his arms with a smile.

"Concubines always want to do something for their children, this is the first time concubines have come into contact with these things, and they don't know what to do, and it's always right to be prepared. Although I don't know if it's a prince or a princess, ......"
