The crown prince's wedding is scheduled for November 27, while Princess Zhaorong's wedding date is the third day of October.

These two holy decrees came down, but they were busy with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace people of the four divisions. In the past hundred days, two marriages have to be prepared, and the prince's wedding or the marriage with Xiao Guo is the most important thing, and no one dares to slack off.

Concubine Li summoned the four divisions and said, "The palace expects that you are already busy now, you don't have to worry, everything is prioritized by the prince's wedding." Marriage with Xiao Guo must not lose the dignity of my Great Qin. Princess Zhaorong's marriage is simple, there is no need to be extravagant, and the furnishings of the princess's mansion are also simple. ”

"Niangniang, I'm afraid this will be rude." Lao Shanggong didn't understand what Concubine Li meant, so he cautiously and tentatively said.

Concubine Li said with a smile: "It's okay, you can do it boldly with confidence, the palace and the princess have never cared about these false courtesies." If the emperor asks, you will go back to this palace and ask for it. ”

"Slave, thank you for your compassion!"

Out of the main hall, they found Zhou Neiguan and Huang Ying respectively, and after stuffing the silver, they quietly inquired about the purpose of Niangniang's statement, but the answer was the same: "Our concubine Niangniang has always been kind-hearted, sympathetic, and straightforward, I don't like to beat around the bush, and I don't like to play any conspiracy." Whatever the mother says, there is no need to wonder. ”

A few people left with peace of mind, and it seemed that the concubine was really sympathetic to them. Come to think of it, with the status of the concubine Niangniang in the palace, who do you really want to deal with, it is not a matter of one sentence, and there is no need to use any means at all.

Although Concubine Li said that everything was simple, the emperor's order was to make the princess's wedding a good one, which could only be slightly inferior to the prince's wedding, so they only dared to cancel some cumbersome but not very necessary processes. The things in the princess's mansion are only equipped with the most basic according to the requirements of the mother, and the rest will be put forward as needed after the princess moves in. Even so, it still makes them a little less stressed.

The princess got married, ten miles of red makeup, and the people of the capital rushed to watch. The bride sprinkled happy money along the way, and the whole world celebrated. According to the prior agreement, the princess was married to the Lei family from the Frost Cloud Palace, and after the three dynasties returned to the door, she moved into the princess's mansion.

"Look, I'll just say you don't have to go to the Imperial Study!" Xue Qing heard Yimeng's laughter from a distance, "It's lunch time, and my father will be in the Guanju Palace." ”

"Okay, you're the smartest!" Lei Jingyun coaxed.

Xue Qing smiled and watched the two of them come hand in hand, and teased: "It turns out that you are not only thinking about my lunch here, but also thinking about how to be lazy, do you come back like this?" ”

"Mother, don't wronged me, I'm afraid that I will disturb your rest if I come early." Yimeng replied confidently.

Qin Yixuan said with a smile: "You guessed wrong this time, knowing that you came back today, I am afraid that you will have to wait for you to come early, but your mother got up early for the first time......"

Xue Qing's face did not change, and the hand hidden in his sleeve secretly pinched his waist, and he immediately stopped talking.

"Father, mother!" Yi Meng was about to step forward as usual, but was pulled by Lei Jingyun, and suddenly understood, and changed his words, "Please take a seat!" ”

Qin Yixuan led Xue Qing to sit down, Lei Jingyun pulled Yimeng forward, knelt down uprightly, and kowtowed three times respectfully. Subsequently, Lei Jingyun presented a pair of jade Ruyi. His father-in-law and mother-in-law lacked nothing, so they had a good fortune and offered jade Ruyi, hoping to be safe and happy from now on.

Qin Yixuan pulled Xue Qing to stand up, stepped forward to help the two of them up, and took the lead in sitting down at the table. There were already snacks and cold dishes on the table, and seeing them seated, Huang Ying and the others got busy and served the hot dishes one by one.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li, tomorrow I will take Yimeng to Wanjian Villa. I always hear her mention that Wanjian Villa is like a fairyland, and I really want to see it with my own eyes. ”

Qin Yixuan said with a smile: "Go ahead, bring the gift I gave to the national teacher for me, and greet the national teacher for me." ”

"Yes!" Lei Jingyun arched his hand.

Xue Qing then said, "You can go back with You Yan, with him, I can protect you well." ”

"Mother, I know, we have already agreed." Yimeng replied with a smile.

"Red Sakura ......" After Yimeng left, Xue Qing hesitated for a long time and still spoke.

Qin Yixuan hugged her waist, and said helplessly: "You go, go back to Wanjian Villa." ”

"You ......" Xue Qing looked at him incredulously, why did she agree so quickly, thinking that he would try her best to keep it, and she also prepared a lot of rhetoric. But when he agreed so readily, there was a trace of melancholy and dissatisfaction in her heart.

Pulling her falling hair behind her ears, Qin Yixuan said softly: "You, don't tell me if you're pregnant, when do you want to hide it from me?" ”

"You...... You know everything......" Xue Qing looked up at him in shock.

Qin Yixuan said with a smile: "I have everything about you in my heart. I'm not an ignorant teenager, and I know you haven't been here for two months. ”

Xue Qing lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Actually...... I also...... Not so sure......"12

"I'll show you the trusted Imperial Doctor in a while, if you're really pregnant, you can go back to Wanjian Villa with Yimeng tomorrow."

"Red Sakura ......"

"Since you entered the palace, I have been spoiling you, even if I push you to the forefront, I will spoil you alone, that is, I am sure that I can keep you safe. Now that you're pregnant, those people are going to be ready to move. It is safest to return to Wanjian Villa. ”

Xue Qing leaned on his arms and said coquettishly, "Are you willing?" ”

Xia Hongying was overjoyed, hugged her, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I can't help it, but I can't think of any other better way." Although I was in a hurry, I was relieved by Youyan's protection. ”

Xue Qing pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "You can ground me again!" ”

"Hehe, I want to. It's just that I've spoiled you to the sky, and you're notoriously domineering. If you are obedient, it will be even more suspicious. ”

"Hmph, you're just willful!" Xue Qing stopped doing it and pounded him in the chest with a small fist.

Qin Yixuan clenched her fist: "Okay, I'm willful, I'm domineering, okay?" When you go back, you have to take care of our flesh and blood, and you have to take care of yourself, you know? ”

"Hmm."

Qin Yixuan suddenly looked directly at her and said solemnly: "Xueqing, you give me some time, and I will take care of everything." When I pick you up at Wanjian Villa, there will only be you Li Xueqing by my Xia Hongying's side, believe me! ”

"Hmm!" Xue Qing nodded vigorously, and then rubbed it in his arms again.

The person in his arms was so obedient and well-behaved for the first time, and Qin Yixuan's heart turned into a pool of spring water. He couldn't help but kiss her, and he couldn't help but inch in. It shouldn't matter this month, just be lighter.

Two days later, there was a news in the Great Qin Palace: Concubine Li was willful and domineering, and even the emperor didn't pay attention to it. I don't know why, after a big quarrel with the emperor, I secretly ran away alone. And the emperor didn't chase after him, but only went back to the imperial study sullenly.

That night, the emperor ordered that the Guanju Palace be closed, and the palace people who were originally waiting were transferred to the East Palace. Since then, Guan Ju Palace has been empty, and there is no more concubine Li in Daqin Palace.

Hearing the news, the harem concubines were all jubilant. Finally, the obstructive concubine was gone.

If you want to say that this concubine is the only favor of the emperor, she doesn't take anyone in her eyes, and she doesn't eat oil and salt. The palace people around her are also loyal to each other, so they have no chance.

If you want to explain that you are stumbling and give her a dismount, not to mention that her position is not as high as her, and she can't beat her, just the emperor is so short-sighted, who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

The concubines can only grit their teeth with hatred in secret, or secretly prick the villain, but they have nothing to do with her, and they have to be respectful and amiable on their faces.

Now, this common enemy of everyone is gone, the world is peaceful, and the emperor is everyone's emperor again.

Soon, however, they were not happy. After Concubine Li left, the emperor did not set foot in any of the concubines' residences except for the fifteenth day of the new year when he would visit the queen. The emperor has been locking himself in the imperial study, busy from morning to night, receiving some ministers from time to time, and often calling the prince to discuss matters.

The concubines began to curse Concubine Li again, this person can still make a mistake when he is gone, and he has taken away the emperor's heart, and the current emperor only cares about government affairs, and there is no harem at all.

On November 28, the day after the prince's wedding, the Daqin Palace once again came out with shocking news: the emperor was scheduled to give way to the crown prince in the spring of the twentieth year of his accession to the throne in the twenty years and three years of spring, and named himself the emperor and the queen as the queen mother.

Concubines who have children can receive a sum of silver according to their position and move to live with their children, or they can stay in the Great Qin Palace to receive a monthly salary, which is managed by the queen mother. Concubines who have no heirs can choose to leave the palace to live again after receiving a sum of silver according to their position, or stay in the Daqin Palace to receive a monthly salary, which is managed by the queen mother.

As soon as this news came out, it set off another storm in the Great Qin Palace. The concubines came to the door of the imperial study in groups to cry, but it was the prince who came out. The prince said, the emperor has moved to Guanju Palace, and the emperor considers himself the emperor.

The concubines cried and cried again to the Guanju Palace, but the queen was already waiting there.

The queen smiled: "You came just in time, and it saves the palace from going to you one by one." Go or stay, you can choose for yourself, line up, and come over to register and draw. ”

The concubines looked at each other, was this calculated by the emperor and the queen? After thinking about it, no, this is Guan Ju Palace, so ...... Damn Li Guifei!

The results soon came out, and the concubines who had children chose to move out to live with their children. Those who have no heirs, except for a few who are very young, have a very low status, and have not been pampered, chose to go out of the palace to find their intended person, and the rest of the concubines chose to stay in the palace. Because those high-ranking concubines are all daughters of the minister's family, they will also stay in the palace for the sake of the dignity of the family.

The Great Qin Palace became busy again, and the Ministry of Rites and the Four Divisions were secretly complaining. The wedding of the prince and the princess kept them busy for several months, and they didn't have time to take a breath, and they had to prepare for the succession ceremony of the prince, and they also had to relocate the existing concubines and concubines, and move the female dependents of the East Palace into the harem.
