Qi Jingqin glanced at Liang Huanqing beside him with a slightly sideways face, didn't say anything, and bowed to the ladies seated: "Erchen meets the concubine." Mother Wanfu Jin'an. ”

Liang Huanqing, who was beside him, took half a step back, avoiding standing side by side with Qi Jingqin, and then followed Qi Jingqin to salute and say goodbye.

Xia Rongxin looked left and right at the concubines under the seat and smiled proudly.

has also been in the harem for so many years, and now only she has both children under her knees, and she is in a high position, and now Qin'er has obtained such a powerful helper, which naturally makes the other concubines envious.

Xia Rongxin looked proud and proud, and when she saw the pair of beautiful people standing in front of her, her expression seemed as if she had sat on the throne of the queen mother.

The concubines under the seat looked even more wonderful, some were expressionless, some were envious, and some were gritting their teeth, only hating that it was not themselves who sat on it.

Xia Rongxin smiled, raised her hand and said weakly, "Flat." ”

His posture is pretentious, as if he is showing off to them.

In the end, it is a woman who has been in the palace for most of her life, and she will not be so unbreathless, and several concubines have also suppressed their emotions one by one, and looked at Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing with a faint smile as an elder.

Qi Jingqin took a step forward and straightened up, and Liang Huanqing followed suit, and the Wanfu gesture in his hand was still held steadily.

Aunt Yun Xi brought two cups of tea, Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing stepped forward to take one cup each, walked to Concubine Mei, knelt on her knees obediently, and served the tea in front of her forehead: "Please use tea for the concubine." ”

Xia Rongxin really wanted to laugh from ear to ear, she took the tea in turn, took a sip of each, took their hands and said with a smile: "Your father and emperor were unable to come to watch the ceremony due to busy state affairs, but all the ladies and sisters are also here, and they should be respected as elders." ”

Qi Jingqin nodded, got up and bowed to the concubines present: "Erchen greets all the mothers." ”

Several concubines nodded and pretended to smile, but no one knew what Concubine Mei wanted to show off: Isn't it just that she has a son, what's the big deal, in the end, as long as there are new concubines in the palace, she will still be alone in the empty room like us.

Although I think so in my heart, I still have to pretend to be kind on the surface.

They smiled and praised Qi Jingqin for his young and promising young man, and his wife was so good, and they also took off their close-fitting gold and silver jewelry to reward Liang Huanqing.

Zhao Peiyu sat on the side and slowly sipped tea, quietly listening to the flattery of the women in front of her who had been in the harem all their lives.

"The crown princess." A concubine of her age suddenly called out to her.

Zhao Peiyu put down the teacup in her hand, smiled dignifiedly, and said, "Concubine Yan." ”

The concubine who was called the concubine was the same age as the crown princess Zhao Peiyu, and she was a little princess who married from the grassland tribe and the imperial court and relatives, and she was one of the most favored concubines in recent days, and she shared the favor with Concubine Mei Niangniang.

Among the concubines, except for the emperor and the queen mother, the status of the crown princess is the highest, and now Concubine Mei is uncrowned, Zhao Peiyu respects her as a matter of course, but Zhao Peiyu naturally doesn't take it seriously.

Concubine Yan smiled: "Princess Jing is also the concubine of the crown princess, she should be commensurate with sisters, why don't you even say hello when you see them now?" ”

Zhao Peiyu's eyes stared straight at Liang Huanqing, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, and then the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "Does Concubine Yan think that the emperor's favor for you can connive at you to cause chaos in the government?" ”

Concubine Yan's beautiful and delicate face changed greatly, and she slowly turned her face away and stopped deliberately talking to Zhao Peiyu.

Yan Concubine's hometown is in the grassland tribe, which is a subsidiary of the Celestial Empire, and her father dedicated her to the emperor of the Celestial Empire as a concubine, just so that the Celestial Empire can reduce the taxes on them and send troops to repel the surrounding Daliang people who have repeatedly invaded for them.

But it has been a year and a half since Concubine Yan married into the palace, and the Celestial Empire has no intention of helping them.

Concubine Yan also kept blowing the wind on the pillow, but the person sitting on the dragon chair was like a wood, and he just refused to send troops to help.

When I was in the Qishan Palace earlier, I saw Zhao Peiyu and Liang Huanqing not dealing with each other, but it must not be because of my own reasons.

Later, I learned that Liang Huanqing was the fiancée of King Jing, and the prince and King Jing were fighting to the death in the court, and the two were evenly matched.

Concubine Yan hated the emperor's refusal to send troops to help, so she wanted to further intensify the contradictions between the princes and make the court of the Celestial Empire in a stalemate.

She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she is a concubine from the grassland, so she naturally has no foundation in the court, so she thought that she could intensify the rift between the crown princess and the princess and further deteriorate the relationship between the prince.

Today, Liang Huanqing entered the palace to ask for peace, the crown princess didn't have to come, but Concubine Yan sent someone to invite her, pretending to be summoned by Concubine Mei, Zhao Peiyu is not stupid or stupid, Concubine Mei usually thinks she is too late, where will she be sent over on the big day.

Someone must have cheated her, Zhao Peiyu also wanted to see who was so calculating her, so she also came to Concubine Mei early in the morning to say goodbye, and pretended to observe the old man for a long time, but Concubine Yan couldn't bear to show the fox's tail.

Zhao Peiyu looked at Liang Huanqing like the stars holding the moon, smiled and shook her head, she had been reflecting in the East Palace for more than half a month, and if she wanted to do things for the prince, she naturally couldn't be as reckless as usual, so she held back her edge and waited until the time was ripe.

After Concubine Mei felt tired, she left Qi Wangshu to serve, dismissed everyone, several concubines got up to say goodbye, Qi Jingqin wanted to go to the Qinzheng Hall to face the saint for official reasons, so he asked Liang Huanqing to go back to the house first.

At the gate of Yichun Palace, Zhao Peiyu followed behind Liang Huanqing, and the two of them walked out of Yichun Hall one after the other.

"Princess Jing." Zhao Peiyu called out loud.

Liang Huanqing paused, turned his eyes and looked straight at Zhao Peiyu through the female official behind him.

Fang Cai felt strange in Concubine Mei's palace, Zhao Peiyu specially came to greet Concubine Mei, and sat aside to drink tea without saying a word, which made Liang Huanqing feel a little puzzled, and now Zhao Peiyu called her, which made Liang Huanqing's nerves tense instantly.

"See Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Liang Huanqing relieved himself and curtsy.

Han Yao helped Zhao Peiyu to walk towards Liang Huanqing, her posture was pretentious, and she was slightly provocative, she was very disgusted with Liang Huanqing.

"Hmm." Zhao Peiyu responded arrogantly, "In early spring, the imperial garden is full of flowers, and its rare treasures are not seen outside the palace, it is still early to come, if my sister doesn't dislike it, accompany my sister for a walk?" ”

Before Liang Huanqing could answer, Zhao Peiyu walked straight to the Imperial Garden.

Liang Huanqing naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to follow her.

The two of them were speechless, each with a ghost in their hearts.

"How is King Jing treating you?" Zhao Peiyu asked.

His tone was as if his sister was asking her sister who had just married, just like Qin Ruilan and Liang Huanqing.

Liang Huanqing was shocked, and while thinking about Zhao Peiyu's intentions, he replied: "King Jing treats his concubines very well. ”

"Very good..."Zhao Peiyu sighed softly, she could obviously feel that Liang Huanqing had changed her temperament, contrary to the appearance of Qishan Palace at that time.

Liang Huanqing was puzzled and didn't understand the intention of Zhao Peiyu's sigh, but she didn't continue to ask.

After a long time, Zhao Peiyu felt tired, so she went back to the palace first.

Liang Huanqing naturally wanted to go back to the palace.

On the way out of the palace, Yuebai saw that there were no outsiders around, so she secretly asked: "Princess, what is the intention of the crown princess?" ”

Liang Huanqing shook his head: "I don't know, I always feel that she is pitying me." ”

But I don't know what I'm pitiing.

◎

In a blink of an eye, from early spring to midsummer, Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing have been married for more than five months.

Liang Huanqing was chilling in the Duguang Pavilion by the lake in the backyard of the palace, she counted the days carefully, and now she has not seen the prince for ten days, two days more than the last time.
