Jing Xuan saw that she was still so cautious in her own palace, and naturally felt a little unhappy in her heart, stood up and walked to Jixiang and Ruyi's side, leaned over and teased the two children, and said: "Jixiang and Ruyi are hungry, the two little gluttonous cats will eat more later, your father specially called the Shangshan Room to make red dates and chestnut cakes and puff pastry cheese for you, which are very delicious." ”

When Xiao Jixiang heard that there was something delicious, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he clapped his hands and shouted: "Jing Niangniang, are all the delicious food at Sister Xueqing's, she won't eat it all." ”

The younger sister Ruyi next to her immediately stood up to defend Xue Qing and said: "Sister Xue Qing is not as gluttonous as you, if you have good things, you will keep them for us soon." Jing Niangniang, don't you say? ”

Jing Xuan lightly tapped Xiao Jixiang's head with his finger and said with a smile: "You, it's better for your sister to remember your sister." Xue Qing is in the East Pavilion, and she will see her father with her sister later, so let's eat delicious food with her. ”

As he was talking, he heard the emperor's voice from outside the hall: "Wang Bao'er, your mother came so quickly, I estimated that she would come late, but I didn't want to rush to the front of me." Auspiciousness and wishful thinking are also coming together, right? ”

Jing Xuan hurriedly straightened up, and joined Wanrong to welcome out of the hall, and Jixiang and Ruyi also ran out with a sway.

The emperor waved his hand to signal that the two concubines did not need to be polite, walked forward quickly, hugged Jixiang and Ruyi in one hand, and asked with a smile: "You are in a hurry to run out, do you miss your father, or do you come to greet the king?" ”

Jixiang was suddenly asked by the emperor, flashing a pair of big eyes still in a daze, Ruyi had affectionately hugged the emperor's neck, and said in a milky voice: "Jing Niangniang said that as soon as the father arrives, you can find Sister Xueyan to eat red dates and chestnut cake and puff pastry cheese together." ”

The emperor was amused by her, and strode towards the hall, and Xie Liangchen, who was following behind him, ordered: "Just according to what Jing Niangniang said, let's eat immediately." ”

When Ying'er retreated with the two babies of auspiciousness and wishful thinking, and went to the East Pavilion to eat with Xueqing, the attendants of the dining room served a plate of delicacies like a lamplight, and the emperor raised the wine bottle and said to Jing Xuan and Wanrong: "Since I ascended to the pole, I have been busy with state affairs, and I have never been reunited with the two concubines like today. After that, he raised the bottle and drank it all, without waiting for Jing Xuan and the two to get up and return the salute, and then said: "Since I am already the Son of Heaven, and the two concubines are still the identity of the crown princess, although it is because during the great funeral of the first emperor, the harem is not suitable for canonization, but after all, the two concubines have been wronged, and I will punish myself again." ”

Jing Xuan and Wanrong hurriedly left the table and said: "The concubine has no resentment, please ask the emperor not to drink more, take care of the dragon's body." ”

Jing Xuan stepped forward, took the wine bottle from the emperor's hand, gently put it on the case, and asked: "Please forgive the concubine for being presumptuous, the emperor came to Yuxiu Palace today, not just for a family reunion, right?" If the emperor is sent, please give an order, and our sisters are willing to share the emperor's worries. ”

Wanrong was unwilling to fall behind Jing Xuan, and also walked closer and said: "Yes, the emperor, the concubine has the same mind as her sister, and she is willing to be driven by the emperor to relieve the emperor's worries." ”

The emperor looked at Jing Xuan, and then at Wanrong, and saw that both of them were powdered and frosty, and they looked like they were leading the court, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing!" At present, although the country is and the palace affairs are complicated, it is far from the point where you have to bother the two concubines to go out.

I have come here today to have lunch with the two concubines, and in addition to apologizing, there is indeed one thing to discuss with the two concubines. Since you are all in a hurry to receive errands from me, as the saying goes, 'If you are not right, you will not be right,' then I will start by naming your name.

In a few days, the period of the emperor's funeral will come out, and the canonization of the harem is urgent. Since the time of Taizong of the National Dynasty, the harem has implemented the system of one queen and four ladies, and the four concubines of Gui, Shu, De and Xian are divided under the middle palace to assist the queen to govern the harem.

When he arrived at Gaozong, he thought that the four ladies of the first queen were not in line with the ancient rites, so he changed it to the third lady of the first queen, and there were three concubines under the queen, including Fenghui, Li and Hua.

I have lived in the East Palace for many years, during which the inner room has withered, and I have suffered many disasters, so far only two concubines have accompanied me, I want to posthumously present the late princess Yang as the queen, and I am afraid that the two concubines have been wronged......"

When the emperor said this, he deliberately stopped, picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots, and chewed it carefully while putting it in his mouth, while observing Jing Xuan's graceful expression and reaction.

Jing Xuan sat in front of the dining table, looking relaxed and calm, as if everything the emperor said had nothing to do with him. Wanrong, on the other hand, had a ruddy face, and it was obvious that her mood had begun to ripple.

"Xie Liangchen, come and listen to the two mothers." The emperor was a little disappointed by Jing Xuan's indifference, and for a moment lost the interest in continuing.

Xie Liangchen walked in front of Jing Xuan first, bowed down and said, "The emperor intends to promote Niangniang to be Concubine Hui. Walking in front of Wanrong again, Shi Li said: "The emperor intends to promote Niangniang to be Concubine Li." ”

Jing Xuan and Wanrong stood up to thank the emperor. Although Jing Xuan felt that the emperor made an exception to promote the two of her as concubines, she had never attached much importance to the title and title, so she had nothing else to say except thanks.

And Wanrong muttered in a low voice: "Isn't there still a concubine living in the palace?" ”

"Today is not an official canonization, I am just moved by the loyalty of the two concubines who are enthusiastic about doing errands, and I will first tell you the name of the proposed canonization."

The emperor stared at Wanrong and explained, "Before you are sealed, I will issue an edict to take away the title of the first emperor Li Guifei, and only call her the concubine, Wanrong doesn't need to worry too much." ”

Wanrong's face turned red, she had always been favored by the prince, and she claimed that her name was not suitable for Jing Xuan, and she was annoyed that her name was the same as the biological mother of King Ying who had just been degraded and released, and she was quite suspicious of picking up people's teeth, so she dared to ask the emperor: "The emperor only mentioned the story of the harem of the previous dynasty to the concubines, and told the concubines in advance the name he wanted to seal, can he consult the concubines' wishes?" ”

The emperor smiled: "Wanrong doesn't have to have any scruples, it doesn't hurt to have something to say." ”

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor to re-give the title. Even if it is a lower-ranking concubine, the concubine is willing. ”

The emperor knew where her heart was, so he patiently persuaded: "Erya Guangyan" has clouds: Li, two also; I gave this title to the concubine, which is taking the meaning of husband and wife. Jing Xuan is older than you, and on the night of Qingming Dynasty, he personally led the sergeant to the stable courtyard to welcome me into the palace, and he had the skill of escorting, and his position was listed before you, which is also a due righteousness. Besides, the two of you have the same rank and rank, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, so wouldn't it be better to be in charge of the harem for me together, and have a discussion in case of trouble? ”
