As soon as Concubine Wan entered the palace, she was directly named a concubine, and her position was second only to the queen.

She was born in the Cui family in Qinghe, and she is the daughter of the head of the Cui family, and her status is noble, surpassing the queen who was born in the Ruan family. Because although the queen was born in the Ruan family, she was separated from the head of the Ruan family, King Fenyang, by a room.

The emperor respects and favors Concubine Wan, and also attaches great importance to the prince she gave birth to, and it is even rumored that the reason why the emperor has not established the crown prince for so many years is because the emperor wants to establish Ling Chengxi, the sixth prince born by Concubine Wan, as the crown prince. Therefore, Concubine Wan has infinite scenery in the harem, and she is almost on par with the queen.

But she never thought that the emperor would not give her face several times today.

Concubine Wan looked at Ling Botao, who looked impatient and low, and the queen with a faint smile on her face, and only felt that the queen's smile was really dazzling.

Although she was annoyed by the emperor's attitude, she still blamed the queen for the reason, thinking that the queen must have stumbled and said bad things about her and Xi'er in front of the emperor, making the emperor angry with herself.

Concubine Wan was very angry and ashamed, she felt that her face was hot, and she lost face in front of everyone, and when she saw that the emperor didn't give her face, she could only forcibly hold back her shame, hurriedly saluted, and returned to her seat.

Concubine Wan is arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and other concubines tolerate and curry favor with her everywhere for various reasons.

However, there are no fools in the harem, even if Concubine Wan was disliked by the emperor this time, no concubine obviously showed schadenfreude, but continued to pretend not to see that she should eat and drink.

But Concubine Wan was sitting there, but she still felt that other people were watching her jokes, and she was ashamed for a while before she remembered Ling Chengxi's matter.

I don't know what happened to Xi'er, she was absent at such an important moment as Chinese New Year's Eve, and was sent back to the prince's mansion, wouldn't it make the emperor more biased towards the third prince's side?

Concubine Wan Guifei was anxious and worried when she thought of this, thinking that the emperor and queen obviously didn't want to say much about this matter before, and even more felt that there was a problem, she couldn't sit still, and her mind was full of thoughts about sending someone to find out the news.

The queen picked up a piece of pastry, tasted it slowly, and caught a glimpse of the scene of Concubine Wan ordering her palace people out of the corner of her eye, she lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and her suspicion of Concubine Wan's already small amount became weaker and weaker.

The queen mother was old, and she couldn't stay up before she was a child, so she went back to her palace to rest first.

Ling Botao also gave extra kindness, allowing some older wives and young princes and princesses to go back to rest in advance, but after the people left, the hall was a little empty, and some vacant seats would not be so conspicuous.

The process of the banquet also came to an end, and when it was the middle of the hour, the palace people served a glass of Tusu wine to each seat.

Ling Botao took the lead in raising his glass, and everyone stood up together to raise their glasses and say a greeting speech, congratulating the emperor and the queen and welcoming the New Year.

The congratulatory message is the same every year, but when it comes out of hundreds of people, it looks magnificent and shocking.

What Ling Botao enjoyed the most was this kind of moment, he stood in front of the dragon seat, looking at the people who were toasting together below and the Nanning mission, and he was full of pride and ambition for a while.

A carriage drove out of the palace in a hurry, although it was late at night, but the streets outside the palace were still lively, and everywhere was very festive.

Ruan Tingge gently opened the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked outside.

The air at night was very cold, and a cool breeze blew across Ruan Tingge's cheeks, blowing away her tiredness a little and sobering her up a lot.

Looking at the lively scene of the New Year outside, she couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.

It's the New Year, and I don't seem to have seen what the New Year is like for a long time.

In the past few months of rebirth, she has been thinking less and less about the events of her past life, because she doesn't want to immerse herself in the black emotions of the past.

But tonight's New Year's scene suddenly reminded her of the days of her previous life.

Ruan Tingge quietly looked out the window for a while, and then slowly lowered the curtains.

......

From the first day to the fifth day of the new year, every house is busy, and the Fenyang Mansion is no exception, and the Ruan family is one of the three major families in Dongyun, with lush branches and many branches.

There is no princess in the Fenyang Palace, and Fang Jirou, as the princess, is a little embarrassed and justifiably entertains relatives from all walks of life as the hostess of the palace.

She has only been married for a few years, and although she has the ability, she really can't cope with so many things, and she has been a little busy these days.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yide was in good health, and when she saw that her granddaughter-in-law was a little anxious, she also helped a lot.

Ruan Tingge really didn't care about these things, and he didn't want to deal with those unfamiliar relatives, so he hid in Cui Yuhuai's courtyard.

Cui Yuhuai's cough is good and bad, some time ago, the cough was scary, and these days it is much better.

Just looking at his face becoming more and more pale, with a sickly face, wearing a thick robe still looks empty under the robe, and he can't be thin.

Cui Yuhuai did not enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, but stayed in his own courtyard.

Although Mrs. Yide and the King of Fenyang asked him to enter the palace together several times, he still refused, saying that he didn't want to make it difficult for his grandmother and uncle, after all, the Cui family was also there.

Ruan Qingge saw that even if it was the New Year, no one from the Cui family came to find Cui Yuhuai, so he knew that there should be a big problem between Cui Yuhuai and the Cui family.

Thinking of his previous speculation, Ruan Tingge faintly felt that Cui Yuhuai might really have a secret hidden in him.

However, Cui Yuhuai's personality seems to be gentle, but in fact, he is stubborn and cold, and it is extremely difficult to know any secrets from his mouth.

Although Ruan Tingge felt that Cui Yuhuai's secret was very important to her mission, she had no other way, but she planned to contact Cui Yuhuai more to see if the system could issue another task.

She has been staying in Cui Yuhuai's yard for the past few days, although she has the idea of temptation, she is not disgusted with getting along with Cui Yuhuai.

Because he often communicates with Cui Yuhuai in the days of recuperation, and Cui Yuhuai's painting skills are superb and can guide Ruan Tingge to paint, this is also a teacher and friend, and the relationship between teacher and friend is more tacit and close than others.

In the past few days, Ruan Tingge didn't let Cui Yuhuai teach himself to paint again, but just stayed with Cui Yuhuai with the book, and the two of them looked at each other.

Cui Yuhuai glanced up at Ruan Tingge, who was sitting next to the chair by the window, and saw that the book she was holding was looking at it with relish, and took a closer look at the title of the book, only to see that there were five big characters on it, listening to what Fengge had seen.

There seemed to be a line of small words under the title of the book, and Cui Yuhuai was about to take a closer look, when he heard Ruan Tingge's voice sound, "Cousin, what are you looking at?" ”

was discovered by Ruan Tingge, Cui Yuhuai was a little uncomfortable, but still said, "The name of the book you read is a little novel. ”
