Murong Jing presented a brocade box to the emperor: "Father, the son got a piece of beautiful jade, which was engraved by the famous jade artist Huang Yinshi, which was exquisite, and spent a lot of money to present it to his father." ”

Murong Lin opened it and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a good sword technique, and this jade is also a good jade, so it is perfect for giving it to Concubine Rou." ”

"If you can get the love of your father and Concubine Rou, this piece of beautiful jade can be regarded as living up to its value." Murong Jing slapped his ass without a trace.

Murong Lin was very satisfied, and he couldn't wait to send it to Chu Qianrou immediately, but when he saw the mountains of twists and turns, he had to give up and let Li Neiguan send them to Yuxiu Palace.

Since Chu Qianrou broke out that she was pregnant, she was tired every day, and Murong Lin couldn't bear to let her read the folds anymore, but it was really boring to look at these folds alone.

After sending off Li Neiguan, Chu Xianrou took out the jade pendant and looked at it: the round jade pendant was slightly smaller than her palm, and it was divided into two layers, the outer layer was the pattern of a hundred flowers, and the inner layer was a phoenix spreading its wings, which was lifelike. Whether it is jade or carving, it is a fine product.

Chu Xianrou sneered: "This jade concubine finally can't bear it, so the palace will go to play with her." Yunzhu, you go and find out about the whereabouts of the Jade Guifei recently. ”

Concubine Yu was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, and she was in a good mood in the past two days, because the equestrian skills of the eighth prince had made great progress and was praised by the emperor. On the other side, Yang Sheng, the household servant, had also joined forces with his protégés and was ready to deal with Chu Sui.

She saw that a pot of black chrysanthemum next to the rockery was growing well, so she stopped and stopped. The palace maid Red Lotus excitedly said: "No matter how many flowers compete in the spring, once it comes to this autumn, only this ink chrysanthemum blooms in the wind, not afraid of wind and snow." ”

"That's right," Yu Guifei showed a proud look, "Those self-righteous spring flowers, they won't be proud for a few days, as long as the cold wind blows, they will wither, I feel pitiful when I think about it!" ”

However, the conversation from behind the rockery swept away her good interest.

"Mother, Mama said, your baby will definitely be a prince. With the emperor's favor for you, even if you can't inherit the unification, you are still a happy prince. ”

"I, I just hope that the emperor can live a long life, otherwise let those princes inherit the unification, but I don't have good fruit to eat."

"They are jealous of your beauty, you are beautiful and favored."

"Who said it wasn't, look at that jade concubine, who was favored by the emperor before, she was so arrogant and domineering, and now she doesn't dare to touch a single hair of me? If I had three longs and two shorts, she wouldn't be able to afford to offend, and she would still be proud to think that she was still the favorite concubine? It's just that I'm old and decrepit, and I even came up with that bad idea, and found so many vixens from outside the palace, thinking that I could rob me of my favor, it's really stupid! ”

The sound insulation effect of the rockery is very poor, although the voice of the speaker is not loud, but it reaches the ears of Yu Guifei word for word. The person who spoke was triumphant, but Yu Guifei's face was already extremely difficult to see, she stared at the back of the rockery hatefully, and wrung her handkerchief vigorously to remind herself not to be impulsive. This fox can't move.

But the man behind the rockery seemed to be deliberately angry with her, and he was still chattering.

She didn't want to think about it, even if she really succeeded, those vixens were favored by the emperor, how could they put her in their eyes, didn't they make enemies for themselves for no reason? Besides, you see, the emperor has only been addicted for a few days, and he hasn't returned to my Yuxiu Palace, and he can't do without me, and he also made me pregnant with a dragon seed, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot? In my opinion, this old woman is stupid! ”

"Mother is very right!"

"And her stupid son, the emperor just praised the recent progress in equestrianism, so he was so proud that he couldn't wait to walk sideways in the palace, he was a crab in his last life? is so stupid, and still wants to compete with the prince for that position, what kind of mother gives birth to what kind of son, I don't know anything at all! ”

"Slut! I'll tear your mouth apart! Concubine Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed behind the rockery angrily. It's just to say that she's just that, she still talks about her Heng'er, she is such a son, this is her heart's meat!

"Concubine Niangniang, what are you doing?" Chu Qianrou put on an innocent look.

"What? If you dare to speak out, don't be afraid of being heard! Concubine Yu stared at her and said angrily.

Chu Qianrou continued to pretend to be garlic and said, "What did I say?" Don't spew blood! ”

"Bold! In front of the concubine, I dare to call myself 'me'! Is there still a palace rule in the eyes of Concubine Rou? Red Lotus helped the master reprimand.

"You're bold!" Yunzhu also did not show weakness, "Our mother is commensurate with me in front of the emperor, is it possible that the concubine is even older than the emperor?" ”

These words can be described as heart-wrenching, and Yu Guifei's face twitched with anger, and she slapped towards Yunzhu.

Chu Qianrou pulled the cloud bead away, and received a slap from the jade concubine, her fair face suddenly swollen, and the five red finger prints were extremely dazzling.

Chu Qianrou did not flinch, and argued with reason: "Guifei Niangniang, the concubine did not make a mistake, how can Niangniang casually punish the concubine just based on her personal likes and dislikes." Even if the concubine is not as good as the status of the mother, she is also the concubine of the emperor, and the mother has to look at the face of the Buddha even if she does not look at the monk's face. ”

Yu Guifei originally just wanted to pinch her with her words, and didn't want to completely tear her face, but after this slap, there was no room for relaxation. She stabilized her mind, and said inwardly: "You are a concubine, discussing major affairs in the court and the central government, and insulting the palace and the eighth prince, if this can be called a mistake, where are the palace rules?" ”

Chu Qianrou sneered: "Don't charge the concubine with the concubine, you must pay attention to evidence in everything, the concubine said that the concubine discussed the major affairs of the court and the central government, and insulted you and the eighth prince, where is the evidence?" ”

"The slave and maid are human witnesses, what Concubine Rou said just now, the slave and maid can hear it clearly!" Honglian stood behind the Jade Guifei, puffing up her chest with pride, thinking that you should be afraid this time!

But she didn't know that Chu Qianrou was deliberately here to find fault, and before she said those words, she had already thought of various countermeasures, so how could she be afraid.

Chu Qianrou's eyes blinked, and tears rolled down, just like magic: "I thought that the noble concubine Niangniang knew the righteousness, and I didn't want to wronged the concubine together with the palace people!" Niangniang, where did the concubine offend you, if you feel that the concubine has robbed you of your favor, the concubine can ask the emperor to let the concubine convert to Buddhism. It's not a disaster for your family, you charged your concubine with such a big crime, even if you have a higher rank than your concubine, but for the sake of your father, the concubine has to fight for it! ”

"You...... You slut! "Since she has already beaten, Concubine Yu is not afraid of another slap. She is arrogant enough on weekdays, and she has used a lot of means to suppress her opponents before, but it is the first time she has seen such a person who reverses black and white, looking at her pitiful appearance, she really thought that her Yu Guifei had bullied her to the point that she couldn't do it.

"Presumptuous!" A majestic voice came.

At the same time, Yu Guifei's wrist was tightly grasped and she couldn't move.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines!" Concubine Yu said aggrievedly.

In the past, when she encountered this situation, Murong Lin must have been on her side, but at this time, Murong Lin saw the dazzling palm print on Chu Qianrou's face, saw her crying with pear blossoms and rain, and recalled what she saw just now, and his face immediately sank. With a strong shake in her hand, Yu Guifei was forced to take two steps back.

Murong Lin said angrily: "You slapped Concubine Rou with my own eyes, Concubine Rou hasn't shouted injustice yet, but you shouted first?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!" Yu Guifei hurriedly explained, "It's Concubine Rou who is disrespectful in the first ......"

"Even so, you can't punish at will, in case you hurt the child in her belly, can you afford it?" Murong Lin stepped forward to support Chu Qianrou, "Aifei, how are you, do you feel any discomfort?" ”

Chu Qianrou didn't say a word, leaned on Murong Lin's arms and cried. Tears wet his dragon robe, and wet his chest through silk, making Murong Lin feel distressed. He had never seen her cry so sadly, which showed how much she had been wronged. With such an idea, where else could he listen to Yu Guifei's explanation.

Concubine Yu was trained by Murong Lin to stay in place, maintaining a saluting posture Murong Lin did not call out, and it didn't take long for her legs to tremble, seeing Chu Qianrou reversing black and white like this, Murong Lin did not distinguish between right and wrong, and was even more angry.

"Your Majesty!" Once again, she wanted to exonerate herself.

Murong Lin glared at her fiercely: "You've already bullied Concubine Rou like this, what do you want?" It's just that I used to be too used to you, and my temper has grown as I get older. Go back and rest, and think about how to be a model for this harem. ”

"Concubine...... Congratulations to the Emperor. Concubine Yu was angry, but in the face of the emperor, she couldn't say anything, so she had to swallow this breath hard.

Murong Lin helped Chu Qianrou: "Concubine Ai, let's go back." ”

Chu Xianrou nodded, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably, and Murong Lin hurriedly took a handkerchief to dry her. Taking advantage of Murong Lin's turn, Chu Qianrou gave Concubine Yu a look of disdain, where was there still a little grievance, it was clearly provocative: "How can you, an old and decrepit old woman, fight with me!" ”

Concubine Yu was sulking again and couldn't get out, so she returned to the palace, but she thought that her anger was getting worse and worse, and she fell ill that night.

It is said that after Murong Lin accompanied Chu Qianrou back to Yuxiu Palace, he sent all the palace people away, leaving only Li Neiguan and Yunzhu. Murong Lin stepped forward and coaxed: "Concubine Ai, I know that you are taking care of my face, and you can tell any grievances now." ”

Chu Qianrou still didn't speak, but Yunzhu couldn't look at it, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, you don't know, when Niangniang went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers just now, she met the noble concubine Niangniang. Niangniang just claimed the word 'I', and the palace maid Honglian of the concubine Niangniang reprimanded Niangniang for having no rules and wanted to punish Niangniang......"

"Bastard, a little palace maid dares to reprimand my beloved concubine, she really eats the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard!" Murong Lin was furious.

"That's right! So the slave and maid explained, Niangniang also called me in front of the emperor, please don't worry too much about the concubine. Who knows...... I didn't know that the concubine slapped the mother! Niangniang...... "Yunzhu knelt down and pleaded, "It's the slave and the maid who are not good, it's the slave and the maid who have affected the mother, and the mother has been wronged!" ”

Murong Lin's face sank: "You are also loyal to the lord, I don't blame you, I only blame some people who really think that they are the master of this harem." ”

"Not only that, but the noble concubine and the red lotus also insisted that our concubine was discussing major affairs in the court, and insulted the noble concubine and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Yunzhu continued to add oil and vinegar, "What kind of temperament our mother is, the emperor, you know best." Niangniang has always only had the emperor in her heart, and she never cares about any government affairs, let alone arguing! ”

Murong Lin said distressedly: "Concubine Ai, I really wronged you, does it still hurt?" ”
