When the concubines saw Concubine Rou like this, they also had some understanding.

Yo, Concubine Rou and the emperor are angry!

Seeing Concubine Rou's actions, she inexplicably felt that Concubine Rou was a little funny.

Then, she had no conscience and wanted to laugh.

But because there were many people around, she quickly lowered her head and took a piece of lily cake and took a bite to hide her conscienceless snicker.

The palace fight drama never disappointed her.

There is a drama on this day, some are sad, some are exciting, and some are funny, and some of them have to be watched by her.

She thought she was sitting in the back, and she was also very low-key at the banquet, and no one noticed her actions.

never thought that the way she couldn't help but snicker just fell into Ying Zhan's eyes.

Ying Zhan originally glanced at the hall at random, and found a special figure.

She is not like the concubine next to her, she is dressed thin and gorgeous, but like a zongzi, wrapped in layer after layer.

From afar, he looks like a stupid bear!

Thinking of this, the man withdrew his eyes, and his thin lips hooked into an imperceptible smile.

It was at this time that Qian Yan remembered that she was patronizing and snickering, not paying attention to the emperor's reaction.

So as soon as she looked up, she saw the emperor, who had always been indifferent, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a beautiful arc.

Qian Yan was thinking, isn't it the emperor who eats Concubine Rou?

In this way, there was a little misunderstanding between Tanyan and the emperor.

Because Concubine Rou's actions were too eye-catching, few people paid attention to the emperor's micro-expression.

Concubine Shu saw the emperor's actions in her eyes, and couldn't help but turn her eyes slightly.

About half an hour later, Ying Zhan got up, left the table with Concubine Shugui, and returned to the apse.

Seeing this, Concubine Rou was so angry that her liver hurt.

She originally wanted to compete for favor today, but she was so angry that she couldn't do it.

However, tonight is still early, and she still has a chance later.

Last time, didn't that Shuguifei just clearly see that the emperor planned to stay in her Roumeng Palace, or did she let people talk about it?

Qian Yan had already guessed that the emperor would favor Concubine Shu tonight, so everything was in her expectation.

After eating and drinking, she went back to the pear hall to freshen up, and then hid in the quilt and read a book before sleeping.

The next morning, she stretched her waist before getting up.

Pulling her shoes and getting out of bed, Xiaolian and Aunt Qin came up to serve her.

"Master, last night, in order to take revenge on Concubine Shugui, Concubine Rou knew that the emperor and Concubine Shugui stayed in the Longxuan Palace, and she also let people spread the word, saying that she was unwell and wanted to cut off her beard."

Xiaolian will tell the fresh gossip to Tianyan every morning.

There was such a big thing last night, Xiaolian said with her eyebrows fluttering, "Guess what?" The emperor didn't pay attention to Concubine Rou at all! ”

Tilting her face and raising her eyebrows, you can almost imagine how angry Concubine Rou is.

Aunt Qin put on thick clothes for Qian Yan, "Concubine Shu has three princes under her knees, which is naturally different from Concubine Rou, and although Concubine Shu has a cold personality, she is still better than Concubine Rou in terms of dealing with people." ”

"Besides, Concubine Shu is the princess of Dongdan Kingdom, her identity is unspeakably expensive, and yesterday was her birthday, of course the emperor is more inclined to Concubine Shu."

I don't know what others think, anyway, Aunt Qin can't get used to Concubine Rou's soft appearance......

Soon after Concubine Shugui's birthday, there was news in the palace that Concubine Shugui's mother's home, Dongdan Kingdom, was going to war with Beilin Kingdom!

As soon as this news came out, the harem concubines gloated.

No, in the morning, the concubines were in front of Concubine Wen, and it was not easy to chew the root of their tongues.

After the morning province was dispersed, Concubine Rou invited Concubine Hui, Concubine Jing, Concubine Li, and Shi Guiren to enjoy the plum blossoms in the imperial garden together.

Concubine Rou just wanted to avoid Concubine Wen, so she didn't invite Concubine Wen.

At the same time, Concubine Rou felt that she was with Concubine Shugui, and she didn't invite her.

After the morning province dispersed, he looked at the concubines and the others to gather in the plum garden, and always felt that they were not just as simple as appreciating the plum blossoms, but they were glad that they could stay away from right and wrong.

At this moment, in the plum garden, the concubines stepped on the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms, led by Concubine Rou Hui, and the rest of the concubines followed according to their positions.

The minions held umbrellas for the masters, and a group of people were mighty.

As Qian Yan guessed, Concubine Rou was under the guise of appreciating plums, but in fact, she invited everyone to count the concubines.

Concubine Rou said to Concubine Hui beside her: "Sister has heard, Concubine Shugui's mother's family is going to war with us in the north." ”

Concubine Hui nodded, "I've heard of this." ”

This matter has caused a stir in the harem, and if you say that you haven't heard of it, it will inevitably seem a little hypocritical.

Shi Guiren: "Is this true?" ”

Concubine Rou: "This news came from the previous dynasty, can it be fake?" ”

It is said that harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics, but few of them really do it.

Which concubine doesn't want to use the power and resources of her mother's family to gain a firm foothold in the harem and find out the direction of the wind in the front and harem, but she just does it more secretly.

Now listening to Concubine Rou say this, the concubines remembered that Concubine Rou's father was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and this news must not be fake.

Concubine Li, who was following behind, heard that the news was reliable, so she said, "Didn't she cut off her beard everywhere?" Now it's okay, the two countries are at war, I see how she treats herself, the emperor will get tired of her sooner or later! ”

As soon as these words came out, the concubines had different thoughts.

As we all know, harem concubines are closely related to the previous dynasty.

Shu Guifei was able to go to the position of the concubine, in addition to her appearance and posture, the Dongdan Kingdom of her mother's family also accounted for part of the reason.

The emperor favored the concubine, not to give face to the Dongdan Kingdom.

Now that the Dongdan Kingdom and the Northern Neighboring Kingdom are turning against each other, I am afraid that Concubine Shugui's favor will also come to an end.

"Isn't she tall, and now she can still be tall?" Concubine Rou hated Concubine Shu so much.

Jing Concubine: "What's the use of what you say about this, it's better to think about it, it will be the emperor's birthday in a while, what kind of congratulatory gifts should be prepared!" ”

This is a bit of a "Instead of chewing the root of the concubine's tongue behind your back, you should prepare congratulatory gifts to compete for favor".

Concubine Jing has always spoken straight, and she can't see the concubines' small names in the open and in the dark.

I thought that Concubine Rou called them here, and she really enjoyed the plum blossoms.

Seeing that Concubine Hui had given Concubine Rou face, she also came.

Who knew that these women called her to say this?

I don't know if Concubine Jing said the point of everyone's attention, or if her words were out of place, all the concubines looked at Concubine Jing together.

In this regard, Concubine Jing blessed her body without changing her face, "In this winter, the sisters are interested in appreciating the plum blossoms elegantly, but I am afraid of the cold, so I will not accompany them!" ”

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the plum garden and left.

Looking at Concubine Jing's back, the concubines have long been accustomed to Concubine Jing's temperament.

"That Jiang Qianyan is with Concubine Shugui, Concubine Jing is with Concubine Jiang with Concubine Jiang, and the three of them are all in a group, so it's no wonder Concubine Jing can't listen to us talking about Concubine Shu." Concubine Li said disdainfully.

Shi Guiren: "So what, recently Concubine Shu also intercepted her concubine's hu!" ”

Listening to Shi Guiren's words, all the concubines laughed.

It's just that I was reminded by Jing Concubine in my heart.

I want to say that it will be the emperor's birthday for a while, and the harem will gather together for a meal, and they will be able to see the emperor.

It just so happened that Dongdan Kingdom and Beilin were at war, and Concubine Shugui was about to fall out of favor again, so they had hope.

However, the truth is about to disappoint them.

Because within a few days, there was news in the palace that the Dongdan Kingdom and the Northern Linguo were making peace.

As soon as this news came out, everyone knew that it was Concubine Shu who played a very good role in it.

I just don't know that it was Concubine Shu who persuaded the Dongdan Kingdom not to go to war.

It was still Concubine Shu who persuaded His Majesty the Emperor not to be an enemy of the Dongdan Kingdom.

Or, perhaps, both sides persuaded.

And since the peace between Dongdan and Beilin, Concubine Shugui has not collected at all, or has she cut off her beard everywhere, not giving the concubines next to her a chance.

I don't know if it was because Concubine Shu persuaded and made meritorious contributions, or because she was quite favored, or because of something else.

Anyway, the emperor also indulged in Concubine Shu, which caused Concubine Shu to become more and more intense, and she tried and failed.

Unless the emperor is very busy, the rest of the time he stays in Shuyun Hall almost every day, and he also works in Shuyun Palace.

Otherwise, it is to summon Concubine Shu to Longxuan Palace.

At the beginning, Xu Shuguifei still needed to cut off her beard.

But later, although His Majesty the Emperor would wander around the harem, he would just go through the motions.

Even if they all pampered a certain concubine, they didn't need Shuguifei to let people cut off their beards, and His Majesty the Emperor would directly change his route to Shuyun Palace.

He is like a prodigal son who has lived among thousands of flowers, and he must remember to go home after all.

And Concubine Shu is like his destination.

And what he did made the concubines envious, jealous and hateful.

Everyone said that Concubine Shu wanted to crown the harem, but the emperor only had Concubine Shu in his heart, and he wanted to favor Concubine Shu alone.

Some people also say that Concubine Shu bowed her head to the emperor.

Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been indifferent, why was he so fascinated by her, that he didn't even care about the rules of the harem.

If you don't have to weigh the pros and cons, it is estimated that you will not even have to go through the motions in the harem.

At the end of October, the emperor, as in previous years, took his concubines and the empress dowager to Zhuangzi to escape the cold.

However, Concubine Shu got special treatment again.

The emperor directly took Concubine Shu to live in Longquan Villa.

The concubines and the queen mother lived in Yuquan Villa.

In this way, the concubines who originally wanted to take this opportunity to compete for favor could not even see the emperor's face, and became a group of widowed women.

After sheltering from the cold in the villa respectively, as the concubines guessed, their Emperor His Majesty didn't even bother to leave the scene.

In this absence of an emperor, the harem concubines spent unhappy days together.

Not only that, but until November, when the emperor's birthday was approaching, the concubines and concubines started to fight again, and as a result, they were poured a basin of cold water on the end.

The emperor made it clear a few days in advance that everything was simple, and that he would not do much of it, and even the palace banquet would be exempted.

In the eyes of the concubines, His Majesty the Emperor just wants to talk to you and me with Concubine Shu in Longquan Villa!

But that doesn't stop them from competing for favor.

The emperor doesn't hold a palace banquet, they can send gifts to Longquan Villa.

Otherwise, they don't even want to see the emperor this year!

When the concubines were trying their best, they could only sit in the inner room all day long, reading books, baking fires, and there was no movement at all.

On this day, Xiaolian saw that her master was not in a hurry at all, and couldn't help but tell her about the market in the harem.

"Beauty, it will be the emperor's birthday in a few days, I heard that all palaces are secretly preparing gifts for the emperor, and it is said that Concubine Hui personally sewed a pair of leather gloves for the emperor."

"Concubine Wen also personally sewed a pair of dragon pattern boots."

"And the noble Shi next door also embroidered the bag with his own hands!"

Leaning Yan raised his head, "This kind of well-known thing, can it also be called secret?" ”

Xiaolian smiled, "The ladies are secretly preparing gifts, but the slaves below can't help but spread it everywhere, anyway, the emperor is in the Zhuangzi next door, as long as the emperor doesn't know, it's called secretly preparing gifts!" ”

At the end, Xiaolian also added, "So, do you want to secretly prepare a birthday gift for the emperor?" ”
