The concubine was smiling, like a spring breeze.

"It's not early this morning, the father-in-law in charge of the emperor's side came to Yuxiu Palace, that battle, it was really grand, originally the concubine didn't like to listen to other people's palace things, but this matter, it happened that Ling Guifei's palace maid, not a burst of yin and yang woke up the concubine, no, the concubine got up and went to Yuxiu Hall to see what was going on, but who would have thought, what happened?" When the concubine said this, her expression suddenly gloated: "Guess what's going on?"

"Oh, sister, don't sell it, you can't guess it if you want my sister to guess!" The young concubine's face was full of curiosity.

Seeing this, the concubine waved her hand: "That's it, I won't sell Guanzi, the father-in-law in charge brought the emperor's will!" ”

The concubines exclaimed: "The emperor's will? Could it be that the emperor wants to promote Ling Guifei again?! "Hearing this, all the concubines are both surprised and red-eyed, many of them are old people who have been in the palace for many years, most of them are still from noble backgrounds, and they have not made the concubine's position high, and now if the emperor wants to promote the concubine, it really chills the hearts of the concubines.

Concubine Ji raised her eyebrows: "All the ladies laughed, now that Concubine Ling is already a concubine with a title, how can she be promoted?" ”

Everyone suddenly realized: Yes, this makes the concubine already the imperial concubine, and even has the title, if she is promoted again...... Then there is only the queen's seat...... The concubines trembled in their hearts and looked at the queen reflexively.

The concubine in the Yuxiu Palace's face changed, and hurriedly said, "What do the sisters think!" What this palace wants to say is actually that the concubine Ling has been demoted by the emperor this morning! ”

"Isn't it a promotion! Really, sister, why didn't you say it earlier, my heart trembled when I hurt my sister. A concubine grinned while holding her heart.

"Wait! Are you saying that Concubine Ling was demoted?! The other concubine swallowed, suspecting that something was wrong with her ears.

The concubine who spoke before nodded: "Exactly, this morning's will, the concubine was stripped of her title and demoted by one level, and now she is Concubine Li." ”

Concubine Li?

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions were a little surprised.

Doesn't this emperor love Concubine Ling the most? How can you say that degrading a concubine is degrading a concubine? also stripped the title, this is undoubtedly not the slightest face for Concubine Ling?

No, now it's Concubine Li.

The queen's eyes darkened, it seems that the emperor has probably learned about it, otherwise he would not have been so angry, but the emperor really disliked Concubine Li like this? The queen is not sure, but the emperor's visit to the Jiaofang Palace last night was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill to her, and the queen's thoughts were flying.

Concubine Hui sneered: "The concubine is still wondering why she didn't see the trace of the Yuxiu Hall today, it turned out that this happened to her, and it was really evil and evil." ”

"Sister Hui, this is in the Jiaofang Palace, Shen Yan." The concubine next to Hui Concubine hurriedly reminded carefully, for fear that Hui Concubine would accidentally cause trouble with one of her words.

"I'm sick and weak now, what are I afraid of her?!" Concubine Hui gritted her teeth, with an expression of longing to be able to slash the enemy.

The concubines were silent...... Indeed, Hui Concubine's hatred for Concubine Li is not groundless, Hui Concubine is gentle, very gentlemanly, very the style of the original queen, although she entered the palace late, but she was very favored by the emperor, who expected that day you were swimming in the lake by Concubine Li's palace maid "accidentally" bumped into the cold lake, since then the illness is half a year, the emperor is afraid that he has long forgotten that there is such a person as Hui Concubine in the palace......

Thinking of this, all the concubines were silent.

"Okay, today is to discuss the emperor's birthday, so don't talk about other irrelevant things." The queen spoke lightly, breaking the silence.

Concubine Hui bit her lip: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

The queen nodded, her face gentle: "Concubine Hui is the best at waist dancing, and now that you are sick, you can't be absent from this birthday celebration for the emperor." ”

Concubine Hui looked up in surprise, her face was excited, and she couldn't speak for a while.

"What are you doing? I haven't thanked the queen yet. The concubine next to her hurriedly poked Concubine Hui's elbow.

Concubine Hui seemed to wake up like a dream: "The concubine thanked the queen!" ”

The queen still had a faint smile on her face: "Get up, the biggest thank you to the palace is to behave well on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, and don't live up to the heart of the palace." ”

"Yes." Concubine Hui sat down gratefully.

"Okay, everyone talks about their thoughts, and this palace can make a choice." The queen looked at the concubines.

All the concubines are happy, the queen mother's words mean that she can recommend herself, and the concubines who don't have the opportunity to show their faces on weekdays are even more overjoyed.

"Liu Guiren, your embroidery is a must, but what good talent do you have?" A concubine who was good friends with Liu Guiren asked with a smile.

Liu Guiren looked shy: "Thank you sister for lifting up, the concubine's embroidery art was handed over to the concubine by her mother, and the concubine has insisted on it for many years, so she should be able to take out one on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet." Liu Guiren looked happy, hoping that the emperor would notice her because of this.

The queen smiled when she heard this: "In this case, on the day of the birthday banquet, Liu Guiren will bring embroidery to congratulate." ”

In a few words of understatement, Liu Guiren was arranged.

Liu Guiren gave a slight salute: "Concubine Xie Queen Mother!" "Since I saw the emperor on the night I entered the palace, I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, if I can get the emperor's appreciation for the birthday banquet, maybe the emperor will look down on her because of this.

"This palace is just giving you a chance, but the final result still depends on your personal creation." The Queen's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

As if remembering something, the queen looked at a person.

"An Changzai, I heard that your dancing skills are unique, do you have the idea of dancing?"

A woman in a pale green palace dress sitting at the back of the center hurriedly got up and saluted when she heard the words: "Back to the queen's words, concubine, concubine's leg was twisted a few days ago, I'm afraid it ......"

"In that case, it's better to take care of your injuries." A look of disappointment flashed on the queen's face, this An Chang has not slept after entering the palace, and he looks at this girl pleasing to the eye, he originally wanted to help this little girl more, but he didn't think that he actually hurt his leg, it seems that this time it will not be possible.

"Sister Yun, your calligraphy and painting are very outstanding, why don't you perform a calligraphy." A concubine proposed.

Concubine Yun was slightly surprised, but she smiled and refused lightly: "The concubine has not moved for a long time, and she has forgotten everything, how can she be ugly on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet?" The concubine thought about it, but it was just that. ”

The concubine who had proposed earlier was silent when she heard this.

The queen was stunned when she heard this, and then skillfully covered up the past, and smiled to relieve the siege: "Since Concubine Yun has said so, then it's okay, it's okay to give gifts instead." ”

"Concubine Qi, what talent do you have to dedicate to the emperor?" The queen asked.

Qi Concubine was the one who had proposed that Yun Concubine offer Mobao before, and at this time she was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, her face changing slightly.

"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine has no talent."

The queen looked realised: "In that case, you can also give gifts with your sister." ”

"There are still some palace affairs to deal with in this palace, so let Ziqing stay here for me, everyone is enthusiastic, even if you have any talent, even if you talk about Ziqing, this palace will consider it carefully." The queen rubbed her temples, handed her hand to Midori, and slowly got up and walked towards the inner sanctum.

All the concubines got up one after another and said, "Yes, the concubines send the queen mother." ”

Ziqing stepped forward and picked up the manual on the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any specialties or programs, you can talk to the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids will be registered one by one and presented to the queen, and the queen will finally decide."

As soon as the queen left, all the concubines were very active, for fear of falling into this good opportunity to be in the limelight, and they all rushed to sign up......

Concubine Ji's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hanxing, let's go."

Hanxing put down the teapot in his hand that was about to add tea to Concubine Ji: "Princess, let's leave like this?" ”

Concubine Ji laughed angrily: "What are you doing here if you don't leave?" "Although these concubines respect the queen, but the queen is not enthusiastic when she is there, the queen mother said that she wants to deal with palace affairs, and the front foot has just left, all of them are like a different person, they are all scrambling to sign up, in the end, they are still worried about the queen, afraid that the queen will think that they want to compete for favor. But which of these women in the Ninefold Deep Palace doesn't want to compete for favor? Concubine Ji smiled.

"Oh, yes, princess." Han Xing saw that Concubine Ji was a little annoyed, so he hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand and hurriedly followed Concubine Ji out of the Jiaofang Palace.

The sun had risen slightly, but the dense flowers and plants were still full of shadows, and the master and servant walked on the way back to Shushu Palace, unusually quiet.

"Princess, why did you say that the emperor degraded Concubine Li?" Hanxing finally couldn't help it and asked tentatively.

Concubine Ji raised her eyebrows and looked: "What do you think?" ”

Hanxing was shocked when he heard this, and his heart trembled slightly: "Could it be because of the incident that happened in the back garden last time?" ”

"Is there anything else?" Concubine Ji asked again because she was carelessly flicking her fingernails.

Hanxing still couldn't understand: "But doesn't the emperor love Concubine Li so much, just demote her to Concubine because of the silver thing?" ”

Concubine Ji was slightly silent, in fact, she could understand Hanxing's unbelievable heart, but although the emperor is a man, he is even more of an emperor, if it is an ordinary man from an ordinary family, it is possible to pamper the concubine and cover up, but he is the emperor, once he wants to show favoritism, he has to risk being scolded by the world, after all, this punishment is to be punished.

"If you violate the palace rules, you will naturally be punished as you deserve." Concubine Ji said lightly.

"Yes, slave maid understands." Seeing that Concubine Ji didn't want to say much, Hanxing retracted his curiosity in time.

"Drop ~ the host pays attention to concealment." The voice of the system popped up.
