The summer in Wei is always so short, the curtain of the greenhouse hall has not been changed for a long time, and the northwest wind begins to blow in the morning and evening. For the sake of Concubine Yue's birth, Emperor Wei specially allowed Shen Taiyang to temporarily live in a separate room behind the side hall of the greenhouse hall before the concubine gave birth, so that he could take care of it from time to time, and although he himself would sit every few days, and sometimes accompany Jiang Yingyue to have lunch or dinner together, he never spent the night in the greenhouse hall.

Since then, the Evergreen Palace has opened an era of Li Jiaoqian's favor, and for a time there was no other in the limelight, and everyone was happy to be able to tie up the Yiyuan Palace, compared to the situation of the Empress Dowager Yang in the palace back then, it was simply better. Originally, with Wen Zihua's accession to the throne, those who had been dormant in the court for many years in Jiangmen no longer hidden, and gradually even some of them had a dominant momentum, and now the old department of the Yang family relies on Li Jiaoqian's favor, coupled with Emperor Wei's seemingly intentional or unintentional support and the Yang family's already all over the Wei country, and now the Jiang family has become a posture of confrontation. The other clans waited and watched the wind, some chose to take sides, and some tried to stay alone, hoping to offend both sides. In the midst of all kinds of battles between these people, who are either unconcealed or undercurrent, there is a pair of eyes that are observing their movements, and a pair of hands are secretly pushing and controlling the court. Knowing that the foundation of the Wei State was lacking, he quietly took advantage of the struggles between the two factions and the middle forces again and again, taking the opportunity to promote the agriculture, commerce and animal husbandry that had been neglected for a long time during the reign of the old Wei Emperor, reducing taxes, vigorously encouraging the people to return to the farmland, and actively participated in the trading market opened by the dense forest in Wangcheng, the junction of the Qingling Mountains, and even planned to open up a maritime business road through the dense forest.

Naturally, this person is Emperor Wei Wen Zihua. He seemed to have forgotten the path of flowers that had amazed the entire Evergreen Palace and Hedu in the heavy snow, the arrogant woman who slowly walked towards him under the red fireworks and finally broke away. He is an energetic, wise and intelligent emperor, but also a handsome and affectionate monarch in the harem, he never refuses every affectionate look at him, and he seems to have lived up to the heart of a beautiful woman, his harem seems to be the most beautiful garden of Dawei, there are bright and bright smiles everywhere, delicate and graceful body, even if it is under the favor of Li Jiaoqian, it can't stop the women who admire the imperial power from competing to enter the Evergreen Palace and compete to be reflected in Wen Zihua's eyes.

However, no matter how the situation in the harem changes, who is newly favored, who is secretly sad, and who is troubled by the Yuan concubine because of Emperor Wei's closeness, Qingyun Hall is always a special place. There are always one or two days a month, Emperor Wei will stay here, Ye Taili and Ye Lixin The two sisters have always had little contact with the concubines in the palace, except for the slightly more to the pregnant concubine Yue, the two of them are talking and embroidering in the Qingyun Palace on weekdays. The same woman from the Li Dynasty, although these two people have no grievances with Li Jiaoqian, who has just been promoted to the Yuan Gui Concubine, but in the Penglai Pavilion that day, the two were obviously on the side of the lord of the Xiaonan Domain, and this matter is still gossiped by people from time to time in the harem, and some people boldly speculate: Yuan Gui Concubine must be very dislike the Xin Concubine and Shen Concubine who are out of the Li Dynasty royal family, so now that she is so powerful, Xin Concubine Shen Concubine is avoided in the palace, if there is no emperor's favor for a few days a month, I am afraid that I would not know where to be arranged by the always arrogant Yuan Concubine。

Changqing Palace has always attached great importance to the Double Ninth Festival, and there are many etiquettes in the palace on this day, and Wen Zihua is also a little tired after being busy all day. Chongyang was supposed to stay in the middle palace, but the back position has been vacant, and it is not convenient for Yue Guifei to accompany him with a dragon fetus, so he walked to Qingyun Palace, and the palace people passed it on the one hand, and welcomed Emperor Wei into the main hall on the one hand, seeing that the two sisters had not had time to change out of the dress palace clothes to participate in the ceremony, Wen Zihua said: "Go and change your clothes first, and then come to talk to me." ”

Ye Taili said respectfully: "Your Majesty cares about the concubines, but how can the concubines let Your Majesty wait." It is better to let the concubine accompany His Majesty to the inner hall to drink tea first, and wait for the sister to change her clothes, and then the concubine will go. ”

"Well, you always think it right, and it's up to you. Wen Zihua stretched out his hand to help her up, and when Ye Li bowed and retreated, he took Tai Li's hand and walked towards the inner hall.

"Today's ceremony was arranged very well, and the concubines were very satisfied with the Queen Mother, and specially gave the sisters in the palace some special Chongyang cakes in the Queen Mother's dining room, which were very delicate and delicious snacks. Ye Taili was cooking tea, and smiled at Emperor Wei and said: "Even if the birth date of the concubine is not far away, although this year is colder than last year, and it snowed early, everything is always smooth in the palace, it must be a good year for Ruixue Zhaofeng." ”

"You always pick the good ones and say them. Wen Zihua returned her with a gentle smile, "A few days ago, the Li family was a noble concubine, and I heard that there was a banquet in the Yiyuan Hall that night, and she embarrassed you again?"

"Zuo is just that the two concubines and concubines are familiar with each other, so they say some jokes, and it's not embarrassing. ”

"No! not ......"

While the two were talking, Ye Lixin, who had changed into a magenta shirt embroidered with a hundred flower patterns, walked in timidly, although her face was a little nervous, her eyes were a little red. Seeing this, Ye Taili frowned slightly, got up and said, "Why did Concubine Xin come in and not salute the emperor, but say some foolish words-"

"This doesn't sound confusing, Concubine Xin, you come to me and say it. Shen Concubine, don't stop her. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Seeing Wen Zihua say this, Ye Taili didn't want to make a sound, but she didn't change her clothes, she just stared at Ye Lixin deeply, but the sister who had always been timid didn't seem to see herself at the moment, just lowered her head and walked to the two, knelt down and saluted first, and then said: "On that day, on the Yiyuan Palace, Yuan Guifei suddenly said that her sister's face was sad, because she couldn't see her concubine, and deliberately put on a face. Before my sister had time to explain, the concubine said that the concubine bowed her head and said that she must have some bad intentions, and the concubine didn't know how to answer for a while, so my sister spoke for me, and the concubine said that my sister grabbed the words and wanted to be her master. The concubine said a lot that night, and when she saw that her sister no longer defended, she asked her to stand outside the door and think about it, and did not allow the maids to serve beside her. It was windy outside at night, and my sister was thinly dressed, so when she came back, she caught a cold and coughed all night......"

Wen Zihua listened to her calmly, then glanced at Ye Taili on the side, and said lightly: "Are you still coughing?"

"It's been a long time coming, Emperor Xie cares. Ye Taili smiled rarely, her face looked gentle and lovely in the candlelight, she gently pulled Ye Li's heart, and pressed her hand hard in her sleeve, "Your Majesty knows, Concubine Xin has always been timid, and her words must be a little exaggerated." ”

"I promised her to be kind to you, so...... If you find it unbearable, you must tell me. ”
