The moonlight is bright, the insects are chirping, and the palaces in the Forbidden City have been lit with lights, and under the backdrop of the lights, the entire palace looks very bright and beautiful.

"Niangniang, during this time, His Majesty loves Niangniang very much, and Niangniang's status as the queen is unshakable." Sticking a golden hairpin on Empress Zhang's head, Xiaohuan said with a smile.

Shaking her head gently, Empress Zhang said with a serious face: "Xiaohuan, whether it is outside or in this palace, there is only one way for a woman to keep her status, and that is to give birth to a son." Although I am the queen now, and the emperor also dotes on me, it is because of the newlywed Yan'er, but what about five years later? What about ten years from now? When I'm old and decrepit, I won't be able to tell. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Xiaohuan smiled and said, "What is this?" Niangniang will definitely be able to give birth to a son, and that will be the future prince. ”

Glancing at Xiaohuan behind her, Empress Zhang said with some emotion: "Xiaohuan, you have been by my side since you were a child, and I am very reluctant to you, but Bi Jing in this palace is not a place where you should live." So be it! I'll talk to the emperor in a few years and let you go home! I'll write a letter to my dad and ask him to find you a good family to marry and get married! That's the life that women should live. ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid does not leave the maiden, for so many years, the slave maid has always been by the side of the maid, how can I give it up!" Although Xiaohuan was moved, there was a look of reluctance on his face, and he said a little sadly.

"Silly girl, that's the day women should be, look at those palace maids in this palace, what kind of life are they living! Now I still have to be favored, and I still have status, but who knows what will happen in the future? Let's get out of the palace! Find a good marriage, that's the destination of a woman's life! Seeing that Xiaohuan was about to speak again, Empress Zhang waved her hand lightly, and then said: "Don't talk about it, let's just say that the concubines who were selected into the palace this time, in addition to me, Concubine Chun, Concubine Liang, there are more than forty." Look at the emperor today, thinking about the country and the country, and thinking about the emperor who is a saint. But for these women, it is not necessarily a good thing. I'm afraid that there will even be people who won't be able to see the emperor in this life. ”

Seeing what Queen Zhang said sadly, Xiaohuan smiled and said, "Niangniang, this may be Ming!" Some things are predestined and no one can change them. ”

Shaking her head gently, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Maybe!" Xiaohuan, don't worry! I will write a letter to my father, you are my side, and the family will definitely find you a good home, don't worry! ”

"I'm not leaving, if I leave, then the mother will not be in the side, and she will not be in to say anything considerate." Xiaohuan shook his head vigorously, and his attitude was very resolute.

Seeing Xiaohuan's attitude, Queen Zhang had no choice but to shake her head and smile bitterly, not saying anything!

When Empress Zhang was preparing to go to the banquet, she may not have any burden in her heart, but for the other two, she was very nervous. One of these two is Concubine Duan Chun, who lives in Changchun Palace.

"Niangniang, the clothes have been smoked, and the best red sandalwood is used!" A palace maid came to Concubine Duan Chun's side with a piece of clothing in her hand and said respectfully.

Sniffing it gently, Duan Guifei frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this fragrant?" Ling'er, how did you get it? ”

The maid on the side smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Niangniang, the slave maid has already inquired, the emperor doesn't like things that are too fragrant, and in the emperor's bedroom, he never lights incense." So this dress is just right, it's too much, if it's too fragrant, it will make the emperor bored, then the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Glancing at the maid behind her, Duan Guifei smiled and said with relief: "It's good to have you by your side, after so many years, you are the most intimate." ”

The maid smiled, saluted Duan Guifei, and then said respectfully: "Slave and maid thank Guifei for your praise." ”

"Okay, come and wait for the palace to get dressed." Beckoning the surrounding maids to come over, Duan Guifei smiled lightly, then turned her head and asked, "Who is there this time?" Is there a Lan Guifei? ”

"Hui Niangniang, no. The slave asked the eunuchs who came to deliver the decree, only the queen and the mother, and the princess Wang. The maid smiled softly and replied respectfully.

Nodding slowly, Duan Guifei sighed and said in a deep voice: "As soon as we entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and I don't know if the emperor was dissatisfied with us. ”

After taking Duan Guifei's headdress, the maid smiled and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid has inquired, when we didn't enter the palace before, the emperor only favored Concubine Lan in this palace. But after the emperor's wedding, he loved the queen very much, and even now he is taking the queen's approval. So don't worry, there is a rush to join. ”

Glancing at the maid, Duan Guifei smiled lightly and said in a deep voice, "What do you know?" If Concubine Lan can give birth to a son for the emperor, it will be the eldest son of the emperor. If the queen has no son, she is the crown prince. Even if the queen has a son, the status of the emperor's eldest son cannot be low, so as long as she can give birth to a son, the status of Concubine Lan will not be active. Unless the emperor wants to do it, but according to the emperor's favor for her, I'm afraid there will be no time. ”

"But the slave maid heard that the emperor doted on the queen very much, and rarely went to Concubine Lan. No one can say what will happen after this, and if it dies, it will be uncertain. The maid lowered her voice and whispered in Duan Guifei's ear.

Shaking her head slowly, Duan Guifei smiled and said, "You! Don't think that everyone is a fool, the emperor is wise! Back then, my father told me that I was afraid that there would be no master in this unfortunate thing, and as long as there was a master in it, I would not dare to rob it. When the beasts in the mountains run out, there will be countless chases, but after being killed, they will not be robbed, why is that? That's because he has the Lord. Before we entered the palace, the emperor favored Concubine Lan, and no one could say anything, because the emperor was such a woman. ”

Glancing at the maid, Duan Guifei sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "But it's different now, the emperor's daughters are too much, and everyone wants to get more favor." But the emperor is just such a one, and he spends most of his time on military affairs. Then some fights are inevitable, just like my father once said, wolves have more meat and less o! ”

Frowning slightly, the maid said with some puzzlement: "What does that have to do with Your Majesty's current attitude?" ”

"You have been with me for so many years, and it is not uncommon to see you at home, how many concubines does the master have? Have you ever seen a fight? Fight each other, who dares to cause big things? Who would dare to find trouble with their husbands? Duan Guifei looked at the maid and asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I didn't dare to find trouble with my husband, and I didn't dare to do anything excessive, because the relationship between the master and my husband is so good, and they respect each other like guests." Suddenly, Yahuan was stunned, looked at Duan Guifei in some surprise, and said in disbelief: "Niangniang is saying!" ”

Nodding slowly, Duan Guifei said in a deep voice: "That's it, what the emperor is doing now is consolidating the status of the queen." If the emperor still favors Concubine Lan at this time, once Concubine Lan gives birth to a son, there will be a battle for the throne. Although the queen's son is rightly named, are there still fewer queens who have been deposed throughout the ages? At this time, the emperor snubbed Concubine Lan and doted on the queen, and even ignored our two concubines, there was only one purpose, that is, to consolidate the queen's position. The emperor wants all of us to know that the queen's status is unshakable, and we don't have any extraordinarily thoughts. This family banquet tonight should be the emperor to see if we understand! ”

nodded as if she didn't understand, and the maid said in disbelief: "There are so many things in this, how did Niangniang see it?" ”

Shaking her head gently, Duan Guifei just smiled indifferently, but did not speak. Naturally, she wouldn't tell the maid, this was her mother telling her that her father did this back then. Every person who just enters the house will be cold, let her know that things are not easy to come by, and they must cherish them well, and they should not think about anything wrong. However, Duan Guifei was a little curious, how did this young emperor understand this?

"Niangniang, can Concubine Wang Liang understand?" The maid asked curiously while putting the shawl on Duan Guifei.

"The three of us this time are all from fairly well-to-do families, and we know about all of them, so I don't understand them." Duan Guifei smiled lightly and said indifferently.

Gently turning on the lights, Chen Hong slowly came to Emperor Yaoqi's side, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, the three mothers have already come." Your Majesty is not in the past? ”

Rubbing his forehead gently, Emperor Yaoqi smiled bitterly and said: "As the so-called three women into one play, this time I got the three women together, I don't know if there will be a good show to watch, okay, let's clean up here!" I'm going to take a look. ”

When Emperor Yaoqi came to the back, the three women were already waiting here, not knowing what they were talking about, and laughter could be heard from a long distance.

Walking into the room slowly, Emperor Yaoqi's expression was a little strange, he glanced at it a few times, and said with a smile: "What are you guys talking about?" ”

"The concubine is the emperor!" Sanjin saw that Emperor Yaoqi was coming, and hurriedly stood up to give a salute.

Waving his hand at Sanjin, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "Don't take care of so much when husband and wife are together, you have been in the palace for a while, I am too busy, and I have neglected you a little, don't take it to heart!" ”

A few people sat down, and Duan Guifei said with a smile: "The emperor wants to be the king of the prosperous world, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of opportunities, how can the concubines be angry!" ”

Looking at the delicate Duan Guifei and Wang Guifei, Emperor Yaoqi suddenly had an evil idea, is it okay.

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi's gaze was not right, Duan Guifei suddenly looked at Empress Zhang, who was asking for help.
