The emperor's "slap in the face" Xu Ying this time is not ruthless. Since being demoted to the concubine position, Xu Ying has been stunned for a month without leaving the house, she has no face! Now the harem can't tell what kind of joke she has laughed at! And these are all thanks to the queen! Xu Ying cursed Feng Wu thousands of times in her heart.

"Don't get too angry, mother, we must have a chance to turn over!" In addition to demotion, the emperor did not make any practical punishment for Xu Ying, which is already a blessing in the middle of nothing.

"Do you think that all this palace cares about is the name? What the palace is worried about is what the emperor thinks! She was afraid that Duan Yulin wouldn't say anything, but she had doubts about her in her heart.

"What the emperor thinks is not something that others can control, so let's relax. Look at the bubbles in the corners of your mouth, and when you dissipate one, another bubble will pop up. Mu Mei distressedly handed over a clear chrysanthemum tea.

"Annoying! Bengong can even imagine the smug face of the fourth concubine laughing at Bengong! In the past, the main palace always pressed them, but now they are a head shorter than them. Tell me, can this palace be happy? Xu Ying poured chrysanthemum tea in a big gulp, but she couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart.

"Then the slave maid said two 'good news' to make the mother happy?" Although Xu Ying is closed, her eyeliner still pays attention to the wind and grass outside all the time.

"What's the matter?" Unless the Emperor can restore her position immediately, what good news can make her smile?

"Wei Meiren, died. When I found out this morning, my body was hard! I guess it wasn't in the middle of the night last night. "The imperial doctor predicted that Wei Nan would live for half a year at most, who would have thought that since the last time she returned from Fengwu Palace, her body had deteriorated, and she would die in less than a month!

"The Ten Thousand Dynasties Meeting is about to be held, and the missions of various countries have also arrived in Beijing one after another. She is so desperate that she is gone at this time, which is really unlucky! Xu Ying was not interested in this "good news", she wanted to hear the news of Lu Yezhen's death.

But Mu Mei will not disappoint the master, the second "good news" is from Jinseju. Mu Mei pinched Xu Ying's shoulder and said, "Concubine Zhen is completely crazy. She cursed her mother through the gate of the dormitory every day...... Empress. ”

Afraid that Xu Ying would be angry, Mu Mei changed her words in time: "Coincidentally, I was heard by Chen Guiren, who had a good thing!" Chen Guiren went to the queen to complain. In a fit of rage, the queen reduced the concubine's regular dishes, and only gave one vegetarian dish and a bowl of brown rice for each meal. So the concubines went on a hunger strike, and today is the third day. Listening to the subordinates of Jinseju, she is so hungry that she has no strength to get up! If it goes on like this, it won't take two days, and the concubine will go with Wei Meiren! The two happened to be companions on Huangquan Road.

"Humph! I'm afraid that the queen is not the only one who will be scolded by Lu Xizhen, right? Xu Ying glanced at Mu Mei, even if she deliberately avoided it, she could guess that Lu Yezhen would definitely be the first to scold her first.

"Oh, don't worry about these little details! The important thing is that Lu Yezhen is about to die! As soon as she dies, won't the mother sit back and relax? Mu Mei coaxed her master not to think about unhappy things.

"Alas, I'm afraid that this palace won't be able to sit back and relax in this life!" Xu Ying closed her eyes in exhaustion......

Duanxiu was playing with the parrot in the garden of Jingyi Palace, and suddenly heard the hearty laughter of the concubine.

"Hehehe, Lingyu of this palace, come to the concubine!" Ji Yeguang wore a crow-blue ink gold silk moon dress, which looked refreshed.

"Why is the mother so happy?" In my impression, it seems that since the imperial concubine was demoted to Concubine Xu, the mood of the mother concubine is particularly comfortable.

"Good daughter, guess what?" Ji Yeguang stroked Duanxiu's bun.

"Mother won't be for Concubine Xu's business, right?" It's been a month, and you can still be excited like this?

"Oh, Concubine Xu is unlucky, and the mother concubine is naturally happy! But that's not the case today. You see what this is? Ji Yeguang gave Duan Xiu a picture album.

"What? The mysterious ...... "Duanxiu is not defensive, and when he opens the book, he is understood the intention of the concubine." She immediately closed the album, pushed it back to Ji Yeguang, and said shyly: "The mother concubine hates it!" How do you show this to your daughter? Ignore you! With a red face, he turned around and continued to tease the parrot.

"Yo, you're still shy? What's so embarrassing about a man getting married and a woman getting married? In this album, all the children of the family carefully selected by the mother concubine, whether it is appearance or talent, they are all as good as our Lingyu! Ji Yeguang pulled his daughter with a smile, opened the roster and pointed to one of the young men: "Look at this, he is the eldest son of the cabinet bachelor's family, named Zhang Chen." He is eighteen years old this year, and his appearance and character are all first-class...... Ay? Lingyu! Lingyu, where are you going? This kid! Before she finished nagging, Duan Xiu ran away without a trace.

Duan Xiu ran back to his dormitory and closed the door. Seeing her flushed face, the maid Liujin was startled, and asked her worriedly, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" If your face is so red, is it sick? ”

"Not really! It's all to blame on the mother, who always pulls me to say something 'strange'! As soon as he thought of the booklet full of portraits of young talents, Duan Xiu was ashamed!

"Oh-" Liujin deliberately pulled a long voice: "Concubine De must be chasing the princess to choose a horse again, right?" Liujin smiled wickedly.

"You bad girl! Dare to laugh at me? Duanxiu chased after Liujin and her itch, and the two laughed and made a mess. Liujin was selected as Duanxiu's close attendant at the age of eleven, and after three years, the relationship between them has surpassed that of the master and servant.

"Princess, spare the slave! , the slave maid will never dare again! Liujin couldn't stand the itch and raised his hand in surrender. She said seriously: "Actually, Concubine De is also for the good of the princess." The queen is looking for a husband for Princess Ruiyi! After the eldest princess gets married, it will be your turn to be the princess, and I don't blame our mother for being in a hurry. ”

"I know, but I just don't want to get married so early. I can't bear to ...... my mother," Duan Xiu leaned on Liujin's shoulder and muttered.

"The princess is only reluctant to give up her mother, so she is willing to give up the slave?" Flowing brocade eats taste.

"Stupid! When this princess comes out of the cabinet, she naturally wants to bring you to marry, what else is there to be reluctant to? Duan Xiu also laughed evilly and ridiculed Liujin, and Liujin also made a big red face!

"The princess is playing tricks on the slave!" Liujin suddenly remembered something serious: "By the way, the slaves and maids forgot to say it......" She suddenly faded her smile and whispered to Duan Xiu: "The concubine is dead." "And starved to death!

"Hunger strike? She can be regarded as a backbone ......" Duan Xiu also became serious, she couldn't help but pick up the light mark cream at hand and play with it: "I don't know if the scar on her face is lighter in the end?" ”

There were two concubines in the palace in a row, which is not a good sign. The Queen Mother was old, and her health was sometimes good and sometimes bad, so she became superstitious about the supernatural. In order to appease the queen mother and everyone in the harem, the emperor simply invited a wizard to carry out a grand exorcism ceremony.

The ceremony was held in the square in front of the North Palace, and the idle concubines, princesses and palace people came to watch. The square was surrounded by water.

Yu Furong hugged Yingche and stood on the city tower closest to the square. The view here is wide and not crowded, and it is a good location for viewing.

Jade Furui shook the rattle and teased the child: "Yingche, look here, look here!" What is this? Tell the mother. Apparently the child was far more attracted to her than to the chaseman.

Yingche grabbed the rattle and said clearly: "Drum! ”

"That's right! It's a drum, a rattle! Our Yingche is awesome! As she spoke, she kissed him on the little cheek.

"Concubine Rong is very flattering, this is really a good place to watch the ceremony!" looked at the voice, but it was Wang Zhiying who took the maid up the stairs.

"Didn't Concubine Sakura also find this 'resort'?" The two of them exchanged equal etiquette. Yu Furui swept Yingche's little hand and taught him to call someone: "Yingche, this is Yingche, this is Yingche's concubine, quickly ask 'Hello Yingniang'!" ”

Yingche sucked her fingers, looked at Hibiscus, and then looked at the bright and moving Shibazakura, and shouted a little shyly: "Sakura Niangniang, good!" ”

"The Nine Emperors are so good!" Shibazakura stretched out her jade fingers like fresh lotus roots, and gently poked Yingche's face: "Sister is really blessed, to have such a cute and sensible child!" ”

"Yes, I thought I would have no children and grandchildren in my life. I never thought that God had mercy on me and gave me a Yingche as compensation, and I had nothing else to ask for. "Jade Furui, like Wang Zhiying, has been in the palace for many years but has never been pregnant. But she is more unfortunate than Wang Zhiying, she is neither childless nor favored. At least Wang Zhiying has been in favor for several years, and sooner or later the child will have it.

"My sister has a son and everything is enough. Speaking of which, the Nine Emperors really have a fate with their sister! There are also many concubines without heirs in the harem, and there are also those with higher rankings than their sisters, but the emperor chose his sister! "Yu Furui has always been just a concubine before, but after adopting the Nine Emperor Princes, she was immediately promoted to a noble concubine, which can be described as a double happiness! Shibazakura shook her fan and smiled, unable to tell whether it was envy or jealousy.

"It's all fate." Jade Fluffia lovingly touched Yingche's brain.

"When my sister adopted the Nine Emperor Princes, he was two and a half years old, right? I don't know my life at all when I get along with my sister? "In two months, the child will be three years old.

Children who are almost three years old already have the ability to remember for a short time, and they have lived with their nurses and grandmothers for so long, and there is always a sense of dependence. Now he suddenly wants him to leave, and he is forced to give him a strange concubine, but the little guy doesn't seem to be used to it at all! This strong adaptability can't help but be amazing.

"Yes, Yingche is very obedient. It's like...... He was originally my own! This is true at all, her relationship with her adopted son is like her own, and now Yingche has accepted her wholeheartedly and relied on her.

Yingche suddenly flattened her small mouth, as if she was about to hold back her tears, and asked in a particularly aggrieved tone, "Yingche...... Not a concubine...... Pro-son? He may not understand the difference between biological and adoptive, but he intuitively feels that "adoption" is no better than "biological". He wants to be the best son of his mother, so he must be "biological"!

"Of course Yingche is born to her mother! Don't be sad, Sakura Niangniang is teasing you! Yu Furong squeezed her eyes at Wang Zhiying.

Wang Zhiying also responded with rare cooperation: "Yes, Sakura Niangniang lied to you!" You are your mother's own son! "Anyway, Yingche has never met his mother who died early, let alone has any feelings. Isn't it the same who to recognize as a "mother-in-law"?

Wang Zhiying funnily pinched the tip of the kid's nose. I was not in the mood to continue watching the ceremony, so I had to leave and go back to the palace.

"Why is Concubine Sakura leaving? The best part of this exorcism is about to begin! "Yu Fuhui didn't know why, but she was kind enough to keep it.

Wang Zhiying waved her hand with her back to their mother and son, leaving a sentence with a deep meaning: "It is not the moon of the winter season, and the stars return to the end of the year; It is not the beginning of spring, and everything recovers. What are you doing? It's simply out of place. It's boring, so don't watch it. ”
