On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifteenth year of Qianlong, a banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace as usual, and all the harem concubines were present. Ying Yun naturally accompanied the emperor to sit on the side of His Majesty, and the rest of the first palace could compete for a table, and then the nobles, Chang Zai, promised, etc., could only sit at the round table from a distance, and they couldn't even see their appearance clearly.

Yingyun sat bored, secretly counting the heads, in addition to the concubines, concubines, and concubines, how many women did our Qianlong Emperor have?

I don't know if I don't know this, but I was shocked by the number, there are about twenty little masters.

The emperor glanced at her and asked softly, "What do you see?" ”

Ying Yun said with a smile: "Look at the huge number of people in the emperor's harem!" ”

The emperor snorted coldly, picked up the tea bowl and took two sips.

Ying Yun smiled narrowly, and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a question, there are so many people, have you slept with the emperor?" ”

"Poof-" The emperor couldn't hold back, and a mouthful of tea squirted out, spilling all over the table.

In front of everyone's eyes, the emperor has never had such a gaffe, which attracted a pair of beautiful eyes to cast one after another.

Ying Yun hurriedly wiped his clothes for him, and said with a smile: "Don't be excited, the emperor doesn't get excited, the concubine just asks, if you don't want to answer, just treat the concubine as if you haven't asked." ”

The Emperor stopped her messy hand and glared at her.

Yingyun occasionally gets naughty and teases him, and it's really funny to see him angry and unbearable.

However, before he could retaliate, she could still stop in moderation.

Yingyun sat upright, obediently enjoyed the song and dance, and no longer annoyed him.

After a while, the singing and dancing stopped, and Li Yu announced: I hereby respect the Empress Dowager's mercy, Jin Ying is a concubine, Lu Chang is a concubine, and Lin Chang is a nobleman.

It is also customary to confer concubines in Jin, and most of them issue edicts on Chinese New Year's Eve or Mid-Autumn Festival, and canonization ceremonies are performed half a year later.

Because among the concubines, there are only two concubines and concubines, and now there are two new ones, and the four corners are complete.

The three of them lined up in turn, knocking on Longen, and their faces were full of joy.

Tonight, the most depressed are E Changzai and Bai Changzai, the two of them have been in the palace for a long time, and it stands to reason that they should also be promoted to the first position, but who let them offend the queen. At that time, when the Queen Mother discussed with Yingyun, Yingyun wiped out the names of the two of them with a stroke of her pen.

The emperor has no objection to this, which shows that it will be even more difficult for the two of them to get ahead.

After the palace banquet, the night was already deep.

The emperor ate the wine, his steps were slightly frivolous, Li Yu carefully helped him, and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going to rest?" ”

The concubines looked forward to him one by one, looking at him with blank eyes.

The emperor didn't think about it, and said, "Go to Yikun Palace." ”

Li Yu was about to pass the driver, but Yingyun stopped him first, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work tonight......"

The emperor sank his face and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yingyun said: "The concubine has read the yellow calendar, and it is advisable to fast from tonight to tomorrow, and you can get tens of thousands of merits." Therefore, the concubine agreed to Lafayette to go to the Buddhist hall to observe the New Year. ”

She inquired clearly a long time ago, generally on Chinese New Year's Eve, the empress wants to share a room and enjoy the pleasure of husband and wife. Therefore, she racked her brains to come up with such a trick, which could refuse his request to sleep in a high-sounding manner.

"Fasting?" The emperor was suspicious and said, "The queen is so pious, then I will accompany the queen." ”。

"Huh? No...... No need...... Let's ......" Before Yingyun finished speaking, she was pulled away by the emperor.
