Looking at the Jiayuan Emperor's sword eyebrows and eagle eyes at the top full of concern, Ning Wanqiu smiled decently and generously, but the bottom of his eyes was cold for a flash.

She and Xie Xianyin were pregnant one after another, but they were only a few months apart.

But Xie Xianyin has been cared for and cherished since she was pregnant, not only Emperor Jiayuan held it in the palm of her hand like a pearl, but even the other people in the palace were idle and courteous to her.

On the other hand, his Yuanfu Palace is just deserted.

There is no harm without comparison.

Especially the other person is still a good sister in his boudoir.

In such a miserable comparison, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to Ning Wanqiu's indisputability with the world.

Later, Xie Xianyin died in childbirth, and Li Guifei was also implicated because of the Li family's affairs, which gave Ning Wanqiu a chance to come out.

If you want to be gentle, there is Xie Xianyin in front of you, and she will never be able to compare.

If you want to be beautiful, there is a Li Guifei in front of her, and she will never be able to surpass her.

Even the brutal is Qi Zhengxi, the humble is Cao Shuying, and the deferential is Jiang Caiwei...... Someone has already done this, others are trying hard to learn, but they can't get over, even if they try their best, they can't escape Dong Shi in the end, which makes people see jokes.

Therefore, a long time ago, Ning Wanqiu had a good positioning for the role she played in the palace.

Be empathetic.

Ice is clear and jade.

Facts have proved that her choice is indeed right, there are not a few women in the palace who have come and gone over the years, this one is favored today, and that one is happy tomorrow, but she is respected by Emperor Jiayuan all the time, and her status is not only as stable as Mount Tai, but she has risen to the top, and she has become Mrs. Ning who is now in charge of the harem.

Who would have thought that Ning Wanqiu was almost divorced back then.

Time flies, and Emperor Jiayuan is a little old.

is no longer as handsome and gentle as when he was young, and the years seem to take special care of Emperor Jiayuan, leaving a lot of small wrinkles on his angular face, and even Wei'an's sturdy figure is slightly chubby.

It's just that...... It's still the past, and the maturity and calmness left by Emperor Jiayuan after years of precipitation can be regarded as slightly covering up his shortcomings.

Unconsciously, the corners of Ning Wanqiu's lips raised a sneering arc.

In the past, when Xie Xianyin was there, Emperor Jiayuan's heart was partial to Xie Xianyin, and now Xie Xianyin is dead, and her Changyu and Changyan are still not as good as Gao Changle.

As a father, it is indeed reasonable for the emperor to plan a colt for his soon-to-be-adult princess.

However, her long feather is as big as Gao Changle, and in Emperor Jiayuan's heart, there has never been a place for long feathers.

Really......

It's funny.

Ning Wanqiu is graceful and elegant, and under the backdrop of a gorgeous dress, her temperament around her body is more and more elegant and dignified, as if she is ...... Born to fit the phoenix position in general.

"Magpie, you go to Changle Hall to have a look, is the eldest princess ready?"

"Go and urge, and say that the emperor's birthday banquet is about to start, and Changle can't miss it."

The magpie bowed down and retreated respectfully, Emperor Jiayuan pursed his lips with satisfaction and nodded lightly, and at the same time, Ning Wanqiu also got up happily and bowed to Emperor Jiayuan Yingying, "Your Majesty, those women and wives in the capital have already arrived, and the concubines will take the first step to entertain and greet them a little." ”

"Go ahead."

"Late autumn, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Jiayuan motioned for Ning Wanqiu to step forward and took Ning Wanqiu's slender jade hand, "Thanks to you." ”

Over the years, since Ning Wanqiu was still a nobleman, he began to take care of the affairs in the palace, and many ministers in the court proposed that the harem should not be left without an owner for a day, and after the death of the Empress Yuan, the emperor should select a new queen to succeed to the throne as soon as possible to manage the six palaces.

Among them, the highest voice is Ning Wanqiu.

The Ning family is also the hairpin family of the Great Wei, not to mention that Ning Wanqiu's grandfather used to be a prince, and now Ning Wanqiu's brother and younger brother also have a pivotal position in the military camp.

Moreover, when the first emperor was alive, the crown princess who had appointed Emperor Jiayuan was Ning Wanqiu.

It's just that at that time, Emperor Jiayuan liked Xie Xianyin in his heart, and he insisted on marrying Xie Xianyin in disregard of the emperor's orders and opposition.

However, Emperor Jiayuan likes it, and the lintel of the Xie family is not low, but Xie Xianyin's personality is a little inappropriate, but if the people under him help to support, it is not unknowable, and the first emperor did not hinder it too much.

In the past, Emperor Jiayuan married Xie Xianyin because of his own preferences, and after Xie Xianyin was sealed, the ministers in the court didn't feel anything, let alone have any whispers.

But now that Xie Xianyin is dead, is it possible to keep the queen's position behind?

At that time, there was a lot of trouble in the court.

Emperor Jiayuan was even more intolerant of the powerful ministers of the court for a time.

Later, Ning Wanqiu arrived in front of Emperor Jiayuan, personally asked Emperor Jiayuan for the holy decree and returned to the Ning family, kneeling in front of the old lady Ning calmly, claiming that she definitely did not have the slightest idea of being a queen.

With Ning Wanqiu's refusal, the Ning family kept silent and didn't talk about the future.

None of the parties were willing, and the voices of the ministers in the court gradually faded away.

But it is precisely because of this that although Emperor Jiayuan did not canonize Ning Wanqiu, he handed over the power of managing the harem to Ning Wanqiu, even if he was not the queen, the power in Ning Wanqiu's hands was like the deputy queen.

For a while, the scenery was immeasurable, and she was the most noble woman in the harem of the Great Wei.

Although it is a pity that she failed to become the justifiable queen, Ning Wanqiu's knowledge of advance and retreat not only made Emperor Jiayuan very grateful, but even the ministers in the court praised Ning Wanqiu's generosity.

It can be described as fame and fortune.

It seems that Ning Wanqiu has suffered a loss and retreated, but in fact, it is much better than her forcibly becoming the queen and angering Emperor Jiayuan.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, these are what concubines should do."

The smile on Ning Wanqiu's face was still respectful, "As long as the emperor doesn't dislike the stupidity of his concubines, and they will always do wrong things, then the concubines will be very content." ”

Emperor Jiayuan was amused by Ning Wanqiu's words, and patted Ning Wanqiu's shoulder heavily.

——

Inside the Changle Palace.

A gentle breeze blows.

As the summer passed, the heat faded, and the late autumn nights were very cold, and there were already faint signs of winter.

Gao Changle wore a crimson embroidered rhombic long skirt, the cuffs and skirt outlined a few auspicious clouds with silver threads, and the waist was tied with soft smoke, which made the waist even more slender and unbearable, and the upper body casually leathered a cloak embroidered with sea water patterns, the face was like a hibiscus, and the eyes that were more charming than peach blossoms were very attractive.

After nightfall, the sound of silk and bamboo in the Changning Hall came faintly.

Everyone in the palace had already prepared earlier, and they rushed towards the Changning Hall with great excitement.

But Gao Changle, an important role in the rumors, is good, not only is he not in a hurry, but after dressing up, he sits comfortably by his window and eats sugar steamed cheese and various pastries.

"Celestial Princess, it's time for us to go."

"The magpie beside Mrs. Ning has already come to urge twice, and now they are waiting outside the dormitory, if they don't go over again, I'm afraid it will be delayed."

Cailan's voice has improved a lot after Imperial Doctor Xu's attentive training, and now she seems to be able to speak, but her timbre is still slightly hoarse, and she sounds a little old-fashioned.

Cailan is the oldest of the many palace maids.

I didn't want Gao Changle to look at the anxious Cailan and shook his head with a smile, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

"I'm going to wait here and now!"

"Besides, if you go to the banquet, it's still the same, and then you see a familiar person, and then talk to it, isn't it normal that the banquet is busy dealing with others."

Gao Changle shook his head, and Liu Mei couldn't help frowning, she had always hated these contacts the most.

I always feel tired.

Needless to say, those concubines and princesses, even the daughter of the big family has learned to see people with a mask and a smile since she was a child.

Even on the occasion of a banquet, everyone can greet each other because of politeness, but in fact, it is really difficult to say who thinks who thinks who behind the scenes.

Whether it's true or not is unknown.

Instead of going early, it is better to eat some pastries in the dormitory and enjoy Li Shao's craftsmanship first.

"Tell the magpie that this palace will be fine soon, let her go and talk back first!"

That's what Gao Changle said twice ago, it's too late.

It's been almost half an hour.

Cai Lan shook her head helplessly, seeing such an unhurried Gao Changle, she could only go outside to prevaricate with the magpie, but it was also strange to say, looking at the personality of the eldest princess recently, it seemed that her personality had really changed a lot.

The previous Gao Changle was easy to be happy and sad.

More easily irritable and angry.

Right now...... Gao Changle is really much better, not only has a lot of smiles between his eyebrows and eyes, but even his personality has become a lot kinder, in fact, think about it, Gao Changle was not so rude and willful when he was a child, but he was later led astray by Cao Shuying intentionally or unintentionally, and he left a bad reputation in the hearts of everyone in the palace.

Cai Lan thought so, but Gao Changle didn't react in his heart.

She only discovered the change when she was born again.

"By the way, hasn't Li Shao come back yet?"

At this banquet, what Gao Changle wanted to see most was not the young talents who were invited, she wanted to watch the play.

If Li Shao doesn't come back, even if he goes, it's in vain.

"Eldest princess, the slave was about to tell you about this matter, but Manager Li just sent a message to Tuopei, saying that he couldn't leave in front of the palace, and asked you to go directly to Changning Palace."

The crested ibis thought about Pei Yuan's words seriously, and then added, "Oh, by the way, Pei Yuan also said, Manager Li said, don't worry, princess, how did you plan before, let's do it now, and it won't be delayed for half a minute." ”

"Good!"

"Then let's go!" Gao Changle was a little sorry, Li Shao couldn't come back, so she gave Li Shao medicine and then went to the birthday banquet together.

I think it's autumn.

However, the injury on Li Shao's arm not only did not improve, but faintly deteriorated, and the wound was much heavier than a few days ago.

Gao Changle suddenly got up from the big kang near the window, and regardless of the eyes of Cailan and Crested Ibis and others, he directly gathered the cloak on his shoulder, stepped into the boundless night, and ran towards the Changning Palace.

When he turned around, Gao Changle didn't forget to tell Cailan Crested Ibis and others behind him, "Don't forget to bring the congratulatory gift to your father......"

Don't forget......

Thanks to Gao Changle, he still remembers that today is Emperor Jiayuan's birthday, and remembers to prepare a congratulatory gift for Emperor Jiayuan, otherwise Cailan and Crested Ibis always feel that Gao Changle has more thoughts on Manager Li than on the emperor.

"Yes......"

——

Qingyu Palace.

Gao Changhuan was wearing a royal blue dress embroidered with blue sky and auspicious clouds, his waist was restrained with a jade belt, his sideburns were tied in a bun with a golden silk begonia, his face was plain and elegant, and his dark eyes were like water.

Compared with Gao Changle's bright and delicate, Gao Changhuan is quiet as water, calm and peaceful.

"Are you all ready?"

Gao Changhuan looked at the pastries and the things in the lower layer of the red lacquer food box again, frowned and asked Pu Jia, "Do you bring the sachet I have embroidered for a long time?" ”

"Bring it, the slaves and maids are ready for you, you don't have to worry about the fourth princess."

It was late autumn.

The weather is getting colder.

It's okay for them to be princesses and palace maids, they stay in the dormitory when they have nothing to do in their spare time, even if they walk around with other princesses and concubines, they are all in the dormitory, and they can't blow any wind, let alone catch a cold.

It's just that the eunuchs and guards in the palace are different.

Especially like ......

Li Shao walks around in front of the palace and Changle Hall all day long, so he needs to be prepared for the cold.

At dawn at night, Gao Changhuan made knee pads and wrist pads, not to mention the exquisite embroidery, it was more comfortable to wear, in addition, Gao Changhuan embroidered a sachet for Li Shao, when he met Li Shao in a hurry a few days ago, he saw that the sachet he was wearing around his waist was very immature and rough, and the corners had faded, thinking that it was because it had been too long.

It's time for a new one.

After checking the things one by one, to make sure that nothing was missing, Gao Changhuan's face slowly showed a smile.

Today is Emperor Jiayuan's birthday banquet, and everyone's eyes in the palace are on Emperor Jiayuan, and for others, they are naturally relaxed.

It just so happened that she could also take advantage of this free time to talk to Li Shao for a while, and give Li Shao the things she had embroidered with stitches and threads.

Even if Li Shao refuses to accept her feelings, it's nothing.

Gao Changhuan can wait.

OK...... Little by little, wait......

Moreover, you can also take the initiative to separate Li Shao and Gao Changle.

"That's good."

"By the way, do you have the other scald ointment you ready?"

Gao Changhuan tilted his head, his eyebrows were frowning, when she saw Li Shao a few days ago, she found that the injury on Li Shao's wrist where he was burned because of saving Gao Changle was not healed.

Those minions of the Imperial Pharmacy were really too bold.
