Previous Chapter

"The queen mother doesn't know, Concubine Shu's screen has had a few twists and turns." The queen took the queen mother's hand and told Yun Zhaoyi's story, and heard the displeasure on the faces of the queen mother and Concubine Rong.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "That restless, mourning family and Concubine Rong heard her rumors in Hanshan Temple, and now they have hit the idea on Concubine Shu, who is pregnant with a dragon, and they should be punished!" ”

"Sister, don't be angry, according to the palace, the emperor has also given enough face to the previous dynasty, if it weren't for the urgency of the border war, I'm afraid that Yun Zhaoyi wouldn't even be able to save her life." Concubine Rong on the side said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, the emperor has been on the throne for five years, and the heirs are only one son and one daughter, and now that Concubine Shu is pregnant, it is a great joy for my dynasty, how can I let that restless person spoil a good thing." The Queen Mother slapped the table angrily.

"Now in the harem, there are four concubines and two concubines, and it's time to bring in some newcomers to open up branches for our royal family." Concubine Rong took the Queen Mother's hand and said.

The Queen Mother nodded again and again, and said, "But that's the case, next month it's time for the show girl to enter the palace for the draft, right?" ”

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "After returning to my mother, it will be next month." ”

"In this way, such an important matter, the queen must grasp it well."

"The concubine obeys the decree of the queen mother."

In the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the concubines gradually dispersed, Xia Li returned to her palace, and Luo'er whispered, "Niangniang, what you guessed is really accurate." ”

"The palace will not guess for no reason, now that the queen mother returns to the palace, she will inevitably install her own people in the palace, the current queen and Concubine Mei and others are not her cronies, she will also install a few around the emperor for her mother's family."

"Then Niangniang, what should we do?" Luo'er said with some concern.

Xia Li smiled lightly and said, "As long as the prince in the womb of this palace is safe and sound, and this palace is still a concubine, this palace will have a way to have a place in this harem!" ”

"Niangniang should be careful, now that the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong have returned to the palace, I am afraid that something will happen for no reason." Luo'er reminded in a whisper. She was worried about Xia Li's safety.

"The palace has its own arrangements." Xia Li looked confident.

Two days later, on the queen mother's birthday, the palace concubines were present, even Xia Li had never seen Rong Concubine, it was the first time to go out to see a guest, I saw her wearing a plain white long dress, covered with lilac tulle, her face was like a peach fairy, her posture was ethereal, her long black hair was only half pulled up with a jade hairpin, and the remaining three thousand green silk hung down on the back of her head, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off.

"Concubine Rong is so beautiful!" Luo'er is used to seeing Xia Li's delicate and bright, and now she can't help but praise Rong Concubine when she sees such fireworks that don't eat the world, and Xia Li on her side also feels the same way, it is the first time she has seen a woman who can be so dusty and so immortal.

Feng Moyu was stunned for a moment when she saw Concubine Rong, then smiled and beckoned her to sit beside Concubine Rong, and said with a smile, "The queen mother should have come back earlier, I haven't seen Concubine Rong for a year, and now on the birthday of the queen mother, Concubine Rong is willing to come out once." ”

"Concubine Rong is a good one, eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the palace all year round, in order to pray for my court, and now that she has come out, it can be regarded as relieving the mourning family, and the emperor wants to go to Concubine Rong more." The Queen Mother commanded.

Feng Moyu nodded hurriedly, "Erchen obeys the order." ”

I saw Concubine Rong over there smiling with her eyes, looking at Feng Moyu, raising the wine glass in her hand, and said softly, "The concubine worships the Buddha all day long, and has never performed the duties of a concubine with the emperor, so the emperor should not blame the concubine." ”

"Concubine Rong is kind-hearted and lenient to others, how can I be separated from Concubine Rong!" Feng Moyu looked at Concubine Rong's fairy posture, her eyes were full of surprise that could not be concealed, Xia Li's heart flashed with worry, and her little hand couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen.

Concubine Mei also took the opportunity to interject, "Concubine Rong's sister entered the palace with the palace, but she was devoted to the Buddha, and now it is rare to be willing to have fun with the sisters, and the emperor has to take good care of it!" ”

"You're a naughty one." The queen looked at Concubine Rong happily and said, "Concubine Rong is going to snub the emperor again, beware of the first palace not to allow you!" ”

"The concubine obeys the queen's decree." Concubine Rong smiled and saw Feng Moyu beckoning to her, so Lianbu moved lightly and sat beside Feng Moyu, where Concubine Rong had a satisfied expression on her face.

The concubine on Xia Li's side, looking at Concubine Rong's stunning posture, whispered, "When Concubine Rong entered the palace, she was a noble person like me, and later she was promoted to the position of concubine together, who knew that she would suddenly close the door and not see guests." ”

Listening to the words in Concubine Wan's words, Xia Li blinked and said softly, "Isn't it good now?" ”

"I always felt something weird." Wan Concubine's eyebrows furrowed slightly, muttered, and stopped talking.

Xia Li leaned on the chair behind her, looking at Concubine Rong without a trace, but Concubine Rong suddenly looked in the direction of Xia Li and smiled softly at her, Xia Li also smiled, but she always felt that this Concubine Rong had a cold temperament all over her, maybe she was thinking too much.

Feng Moyu summoned Concubine Rong that night, which did not surprise Xia Li, but she got closer to Concubine Wan recently, and found that Concubine Wan was also a cheerful person, sometimes she spoke smartly, but her heart was not bad, and it was difficult for her to survive safely in the harem over the years, I am afraid that she would also rely on the strength of her mother clan in the previous dynasty.

Probably because of the Queen Mother's return to the palace, some of the arrogant concubines on weekdays have also stopped a little, Xia Li goes to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace every day to settle the province in the morning and dusk, and the Queen Mother is not left behind, and the Queen Mother is also satisfied with her.

It's just that every time I see Concubine Rong, I finally feel that her eyes seem to fall on her, Xia Li has some doubts, but she can't always understand what Concubine Rong means.

Concubine Rong has a cold temperament, rarely competes for favor in the harem, she was favored by the emperor a few times, and she did not become arrogant, and she did not look pampered and arrogant, the queen mother was also satisfied with her, Concubine Rong was even more happy, and repeatedly asked the emperor to have a prince with her as soon as possible.

After Xia Li asked for peace today, he went back to the palace early, the weather was very hot, and the Internal Affairs Office sent some ice cubes on time, but it still made Xia Li feel extremely stuffy, Wei Wuxian was sent out of the palace by the emperor, it has been more than half a month, Xia Li has been worried about his news, and it is difficult to sleep and eat these days.

"Mother." Luo'er walked into the inner hall and whispered, "I heard that the emperor allowed Concubine Rong to give birth to a dragon son for him, and the imperial dining room sent a bowl of dumplings over this morning." ”

Xia Lixiu frowned, was shocked, and said, "So fast? ”

"I'm afraid it's what Concubine Rong meant." Luo'er whispered.
