"The emperor has never been there, except for Concubine Duanniang these days, but he is here with Niangniang." Although Tao'er was curious about how a Zhaoyi made her mother worry about it, she didn't dare to ask more.

"You go and arrange a competent one, go and see."

"Yes." Tao'er received the will, hurriedly went out of the hall, and went to find a competent eunuch.

The Flying Frost Hall lit the lamp early, and at a glance, it was red, so festive, it was specially prepared for Concubine Mei's birthday tonight.

The emperor Feng Moyu sat on the main seat, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, golden silk auspicious dragon boots, a handsome dragon face, eyes like water, a pair of thin lips were hanging with a big arc, and looked at the queen and Concubine Mei on his side with a smile and said, "This birthday banquet is good today, but I haven't seen a few of you sitting here together for some days." ”

"The emperor is really good at making fun of the concubines, but the concubines go to the queen's palace every day to say goodbye, why haven't they seen us?" Concubine Mei smiled coquettishly, dressed in a pink palace dress, her face was three points similar to the queen's face on the emperor's side, but three points more beautiful than the queen, and there were words in her words that implied that the emperor never went to the queen's bedroom, and a trace of displeasure flashed on the queen's face at that time.

"A few of you go to the palace every day, if the emperor wants to see the sisters together every day, wouldn't it be good to come to the palace of the concubines?" Although the queen was displeased, she still smiled generously and spoke generously.

On today's birthday, Concubine Mei and the queen sat beside the emperor, and Concubine Duan over there held a wine glass, looked at the emperor with a smile on her face, and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that our sisters have a good relationship and have snubbed you?" The concubines want to take their two sisters and give the emperor a glass of wine, it's the concubines! ”

"As long as you're an elf, it's a joke, and you can use it to beg for a drink." The queen's index finger painted with Kodan pointed in the direction of Concubine Duan, and a gentle smile appeared on her graceful and luxurious face, making it impossible to see her true thoughts in her heart.

A group of outstanding concubines in the hall danced, all of them took out their whole body skills, wanting to win the emperor's favor, even the leading concubine De Guifei put down the shelves on weekdays, and cooperated with several people seamlessly, the emperor was overjoyed, and greatly rewarded a few of them, and even the De Guifei who had not been seen for a long time looked a little more beautiful.

Concubine Mei is coquettish, and the easy-going queen is from the same vein, but she always has a charming taste, no wonder she has been favored in the palace for so many years, and the emperor is grateful to her for sacrificing her life to save Concubine Lan, and he has become a little more indulgent to her on weekdays.

Concubine Mei knows Concubine De's intentions, although it seems that she is celebrating her birthday, but what she is thinking about in her heart is really to surprise the emperor, no wonder, she seems to have not seen the emperor's dragon face for more than three months, and it is reasonable to take this opportunity to show it, but Concubine Mei does not intend to let her be favored, you know, in this palace, if you let Concubine De get her wishful thinking today, then she will no longer be favored tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Concubine Mei deliberately poured a few more glasses of wine from the emperor, just when Concubine De wanted to come forward to toast, but she had to hold back, and glanced at Concubine Mei fiercely, Concubine Mei knew that her efforts today were in vain, even if the emperor wanted to catch up with her, I am afraid that Concubine Mei would not let her.

Besides, here in Yaohua Palace, Xia Li heard the fairy music fluttering in the Flying Frost Hall over there, and there were bursts of laughter, but she was standing alone in the courtyard, dressed in white, her long hair was only pulled up with a jasper hairpin, her eyes were like water, and her red lips were bright.

"Mother, it's late at night, beware of the cold." Luo'er draped the shawl in her hand on Xia Li's body and said with concern.

She knows that after Concubine Duan left today, Xia Li has been sullen, and now at this time, the Flying Frost Hall is so festive, and they are so cold in the courtyard, it is really a little sentimental, she has been by Xia Li's side since she was a child, her own mother is a gentle and jade-like character, and she is also lively on weekdays, but now, as soon as she enters the palace gate, she has become like this, and her heart is really distressed.

Xia Li turned her head, a trace of desolation flashed on her beautiful face, and she said in a low voice, "Luo'er, is it right or wrong for me to enter the palace like this?" But all this is fate, I can't escape, the palace is full of hardships and dangers, the previous dynasty is in turmoil, if I keep silent in the palace, wouldn't it be in vain to teach my father for many years? ”

"Niangniang, you..."Luo'er looked at Xia Li in surprise.

"In this palace, if there is no favor, there will be no future, I am afraid that I will grow old and wait for death." Xia Li finally understood this, and the sadness on her face gradually faded, she couldn't just grow old in the palace in obscurity, she was only fifteen years old, and she was young.

The next day, Xia Li got up early to dress up, half of her black hair was pulled up, the pearl hairpin was decorated, half draped behind her head, the breeze blew, blowing up three thousand green silk, like a fairy, people can't take their eyes off.

At this time, the eunuch Xiao Mingzi hurriedly came to report, "Niangniang, the queen Niangniang, you continue to recuperate physically and mentally, and you don't need to ask for peace." ”

"Got it." Xia Li nodded, she guessed right, the queen's rewards were just routine superficial efforts, real battles, or let her continue to be in this palace in obscurity until she died of old age, no, to be exact, she might not live that day and be killed.

"Niangniang, this queen's decree is to continue to put you under house arrest!" Luo'er is also very worried, if his master is not favored, how can he continue to survive in this deep palace in the future?

"Sister, are you feeling better?" Duanfei was supported by the girl Xin'er and walked into Xia Li's courtyard, Xia Li was assigned to Duanfei's Yaohua Palace when she entered the palace, and Duanfei was the main seat of the first palace of this Yaohua Palace, and she went to Xia Li's courtyard for two days in a row, which is really a bit incredible.

"The concubine asks for peace to Concubine Duan." Xia Li was also stunned when she saw Concubine Duan, and hurriedly asked for peace.

"Get up, you and I are in the same house, although I am the lord, I am happy with my sister, don't have more of these cumbersome etiquettes in the future." Concubine Duan said as she pulled Xia Li into the inner hall, and when she saw her in plain clothes, she couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are so plain all day long, aren't you going to waste your youth in vain?" ”

"The concubine is rude, don't be surprised." Xia Li smiled slightly, stood beside Concubine Duan, and said respectfully.

Duanfei Feng smiled in her eyes, pulled Xia Li to sit beside her, and said, "There is one thing that this palace came to find my sister today. ”

"Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xia Li's expression remained unchanged and asked.

"The emperor will definitely come to the palace courtyard tonight." Concubine Duan said, and glanced at Xia Li with deep meaning.

Xia Li was slightly stunned, stunned for a while, and didn't understand why Concubine Duan said that the emperor was coming to Yaohua Palace without warning, could it be that Concubine Duan was showing off to herself? But looking at her attitude, it's not like it, isn't... Does Concubine Duan want to give herself a chance to meet the emperor?
