Xia Rongxin seemed to have a long dream.

She dreamed that she had returned to her twenty-eighth year, and after entering the palace to choose a concubine, she was given flowers to leave the palace and returned to her hometown Qinhuai.

I haven't been back for a long time... Qin Huai in the dream is still the same as when she left home...

The lights on both sides of the river are bustling, and the boatman holds the boat to ferry and carry passengers, and at night, Qinhuai is another unique scene.

Now in Shangjing City, which is more prosperous than Qinhuai, and bigger than Qinhuai, but Xia Rongxin has not had time to travel, but he only remembers that after coming in from the city gate, he stayed in an inn in the city for a day.

I still remember that it was called Tongfu Inn.

Later, all the way to the imperial city, since she walked in through the vermilion studed gate, Xia Rongxin has never gone out, and her soul has never been able to get out of this imperial city.

If she hadn't been selected as a concubine, which lady would Xia Rongxin be?

According to her talent and appearance, the person she marries will definitely not be worse than Yang Suying's Liang Fengmian, right?

He must be a hero of the world.

…

"Mother... Mother... Why don't you wake up, mother..."Qi Wangshu cried and called her, but she didn't want to wake up from her dream.

After a while, Xia Rongxin opened her eyes dimly, with a little teardrop in the corner of her eye, she turned her face sideways to look at Qi Wangshu who was crying beside her bed.

Xia Rongxin stretched out her hand and touched Qi Wangshu's face, and asked like when she was a child, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Qi Wangshu saw that his mother had finally woken up, so he wiped away the tears on his face and said with a crying voice: "Lu Huiling is really too deceitful..."

◎

After Xia Rongxin heard what Qi Wangshu said, she was furious, she didn't expect that Lu Huiling would dare to be so arrogant now, and she didn't take her as a deputy queen in her eyes at all!

After Aunt Yun Xi dressed up for Concubine Mei, she went to Minghuatang with Qi Wangshu to find Lu Huiling to settle accounts, and before leaving, she also deliberately took the silver phoenix seal given by the emperor.

The two sedan chairs fell in front of the door of Minghua Hall at the same time, the main gate of Minghua Hall was open, Lu Huiling was waiting for them to arrive in the main hall, and asked Xu Lan to go to the Qinzheng Hall to invite the emperor, she was sure that this time would not only make Liang Huanqing bitter and unspeakable, but also make Concubine Mei deflated.

"Lu Huiling!" Aunt Yun Xi helped Mei Guifei to step into Minghua Hall, and Mei Guifei shouted loudly.

The eunuch guarding the door of Minghuatang saw that Mei Guifei looked domineering, and he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, although he relied on his favorite concubine Lu Huiling behind him, it was Mei Guifei who was in charge of the harem after all.

Lu Huiling was leaning on the concubine's floor and peeling grapes, and when she heard Xia Rongxin calling her outside, she pinched the grapes and threw them in the fruit bowl, then wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and sat up straight with a smile.

The palace maid guarding the door of the main hall saw Mei Guifei, and followed the instructions of Concubine Ming to stop her: "The slave maid visits Mei Guifei Niangniang, Concubine Ming is in..."

"What are you! Dare to stop this palace too?! Xia Rongxin scolded sharply.

Rong Fu raised his foot and kicked down the two palace maids who were blocking in front of Concubine Mei.

No matter how barrier-free there was in front of her, Xia Rongxin walked straight into the main hall, and stopped when she saw Lu Huiling, Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling, and the hand holding the handkerchief was tightly clenched, and the handkerchief was crumpled into a ball, which showed how angry she was.

When Lu Huiling saw Xia Rongxin, he got up lazily, smiled at Xia Rongxin, and curtsied: "Concubine see Concubine Mei." ”

"Hand over Huanqing and her maidservant!" Xia Rongxin looked around, seeing that there was no figure of Liang Huanqing, and she was not polite to Lu Huiling.

"It's really strange today, one or two of them have come to the concubine this Minghuatang dignitary..."Lu Huiling turned around and sat back in her place, touched her face, the slap that was slapped by Liang Huanqing just now still hurts faintly, she must let Liang Huanqing return it doubly!

"What kind of place is this Minghua Hall when the concubine is there?" Lu Huiling fiddled with her nails, not looking at Xia Rongxin at all.

"They just don't see you here, this palace doesn't look for you, are you looking for the emperor?!" Xia Rongxin pointed to the seat and asked sharply.

This Lu Huiling doesn't take her seriously now, obviously she is in charge of the harem and holds the silver phoenix seal, and now outsiders look at it as if Lu Huiling is in charge of the harem, but according to this situation, her power is afraid that sooner or later it will be hollowed out by Lu Huiling, and she must not sit still!

"Who is looking for me?!" A strong voice suddenly came from outside the door, only asking lightly, but it contained a tone that could not be ignored.

Lu Huiling raised her head, her eyes crossed Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu, and looked straight at Qi Bingyu at the door, with a slight smile in her eyes, she slowly got up, walked towards him, and Shi Shiran curtsied: "The concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Hmm."

Xia Rongxin heard this familiar voice, and her body was inadvertently stunned for a moment, she seemed to have not seen Qi Bingyu for a long time, she never thought that Qi Bingyu would come over so late.

Lu Huiling helped Qi Bingyu to sit on the upper seat, and Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu returned to their senses and saluted: "The concubine (son) see the emperor (father), and the emperor (father) Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Qi Bingyu sat on the main seat, staring at them, and Lu Huiling stood aside and looked at them, smiling triumphantly.

"Let's be flat." I don't know how long it took for Qi Bingyu to speak slowly.

Xia Rongxin stumbled when she got up, Qi Wangshu and Yun Xi hurriedly supported her, she looked up at the emperor embarrassedly, and quickly lowered her head and said nothing.

"It's so late, you don't stay in your palace, what are you doing in Minghuatang?" Qi Bingyu frowned, Xu Lan of Minghua Hall hurriedly came to the Qinzheng Palace, saying that Concubine Ming had an accident, he hurried over, but saw Mei Guifei and the princess asking domineeringly here.

"Father... The mother concubine is..."Qi Wangshu couldn't get used to his father's attitude towards the mother concubine, so he wanted to speak for the mother concubine.

"I haven't said anything about you yet, it's been four or five days since you left the palace, why did you come back?" Qi Bingyu frowned and scolded Qi Wangshu, then looked at Xia Rongxin again, "This is the good daughter you taught?" Just returned to the palace and came to Minghuatang to make trouble? ”

"Father, the son and mother did not deliberately come to Minghuatang to make trouble! It's clearly Lu Hui... It was Concubine Ming who deceived people too much, not to mention the maid who killed Princess Jing, and now even Princess Jing has been detained by her! Qi Wang was very relieved, she told everything in one go, she didn't understand why her usually rational father had become so one-sided now.

Qi Bingyu only heard Xu Lan say that Lu Huiling had an accident and asked him to come in person, but he had never heard of such a thing, and it was just a few days ago that he killed two palace maids with a cane, and he completely regarded it as a discouragement for her, but why did he kill Princess Jing's maid now, and where did Princess Jing provoke her?

Qi Bingyu turned his head to look at Lu Huiling, and his expression was indeed a little happy.

"Princess, don't spray people with blood!" Lu Huiling knelt down at Qi Bingyu's feet aggrievedly, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine was walking in the imperial garden this afternoon, but she accidentally saw Princess Jing's maidservant, she didn't recognize the concubine for a while, so she inadvertently collided with the concubine, the concubine, as a concubine, should take the lead in rectifying the harem, if there is such an ignorant girl in the palace, she will naturally have to discipline her well." ”

Lu Huiling looked at Qi Wangshu again, and then said: "The concubine saw that the maidservant and the maid was not there, so she thought about taking her back to Minghuatang and locked her in the side hall, and when the time came, she would wait for Princess Jing to come to the door, and it would also avoid letting that maid continue to collide with other concubines and cause trouble." But when the princess and Princess Jing came to the door, they framed the concubine and killed the maidservant, and the emperor and the concubine didn't dare to do that again.

Then the princess went to Mei Guifei to say that she wanted to uphold justice, and Princess Jing stayed in Minghuatang, and the concubine thought that Mei Guifei was in charge of the harem, and she wanted to enforce the law impartially, so she was kind enough to entertain Princess Jing, after all, before entering the palace, we were also sisters. But Princess Jing still refused to forgive, slandering the concubine and killing her maidservant, so the concubine simply wanted to take her to the side hall to find it, but Princess Jing suddenly slapped the concubine and pinched the concubine's neck... She... I want to kill my concubine... The people of Minghuatang Palace have seen it with their own eyes, if they hadn't come in time, the concubines would probably be separated from the emperor's yin and yang, and the emperor would have been asked to call the shots for the concubines! ”

Lu Huiling cried as she spoke, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, which made people feel pity.

Qi Bingyu listened, his brows furrowed more and more, and he reached out to lift Lu Huiling's cheek, and he could indeed clearly see the clear anthurium prints, and there were also two red and clear strangulations on his neck.

Qi Bingyu slapped the table case angrily and scolded Xia Rongxin: "This is the harem you rectified, such a big thing happened, you are too late!" Liang Huanqing's girl was accustomed to being rude and willful, after marrying into the palace, you, as the princess of Queen Jing, should be disciplined! But it's still doing it now! I really don't know what you're busy with when you're in charge of the harem all day long! ”

"Your Majesty..."Xia Rongxin stared at Qi Bingyu's angry appearance with wide eyes in astonishment, and couldn't help kneeling down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine... is indeed dereliction of duty, but this is just a small fight between their children's families, and Huanqing must not be as serious as Concubine Ming said. ”

Qi Wangshu also looked at Lu Huiling with a shocked face, the bruises on her face and neck were clearly visible, if it was really Liang Huanqing's act as Lu Huiling said, then Qi Wangshu really couldn't understand why Liang Huanqing did this.

"Your Majesty, the concubines and Princess Jing are not children anymore, how can it be a small fight between children, if Concubine Mei wants to excuse Princess Jing, please find a better excuse." Lu Huiling knelt aside, and the pear blossom said with rain.

"Father, Huanqing is definitely not such an impulsive person, this must be what Concubine Ming said to provoke Huanqing to do something with her, Huanqing's father and husband are loyal to the country, and please also ask my father to treat Huanqing well, and observe this matter, don't hurt the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals!" Qi Wangshu saw that Lu Huiling was aggressive, and he also stepped forward and knelt down and said to the emperor.
