Empress Qin took the tender red belly pocket handed by the maple at night, looked at the lotus flowers embroidered with dewdrops and the green lotus leaves, and smiled with satisfaction, "It is said that Dashun's embroidery skills are good, and at this time, it is true." Look at this dewdrop, just like the real thing, as if it was about to roll down in a flash. ”

"It's good if the queen mother likes it, the concubine is a habit of being lazy, before the queen mother's womb is born, the concubine will embroider another ......" Ye Tingfeng took the opportunity to turn back and take the account book, and looked at the proud fragrance in his eyes.

The belly pocket is self-embroidered with incense.

"Zhaoyue, you're not only a lazy person, you're also a stingy person." Empress Qin gave the balsam that came from the side of the belly pocket, and smiled at Ye Tingfeng, "Right now, the dragon heir in the womb of this palace is only five months old, and there are still many months before birth, and you actually only embroider a belly pocket." ”

"Then ......" Ye Tingfeng bit her red lip and said with a smile, "Then the concubine will add another purse." The queen mother, there can't be any more, and there are no more concubines. ”

"You!" Empress Qin burst out laughing, "It's like a child, and it doesn't look like it's grown up at all." ”

Ye Tingfeng tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "The concubine is a child." ”

"Then, you big child, how can you add a child to the emperor?" Empress Qin looked at Ye Tingfeng and laughed.

"The queen mother has started to make fun of her concubines again." Ye Tingfeng gave the account book in his hand to Queen Qin, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, this is the account book in winter, it is all done, and the concubine will bring it to you." ”

Balsam hurriedly put down the flower bandage and belly pocket in his hand and took the account book into his hand.

"As soon as I get down to business, you get out of the way." Empress Qin said with a smile.

Ye Tingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, and chatted a few more words. Seeing that Empress Qin's eyelids were slightly lowered, he knew that Empress Qin was tired, so he got up and said goodbye.

Empress Qin didn't keep her, and ordered the balm to be sent out.

After Balsam came back from outside, he stood on the other side of the charcoal basin and said softly to Empress Qin, who had a trace of tiredness on her face, "Queen Mother, every time Lady Zhaoyue comes, I can make you laugh for a while, it seems that Lady Zhaoyue must be tied up in the Guanju Palace." ”

Balsam thought that this would please Queen Qin, but she didn't want Queen Qin to close her eyes and sigh, and said, "No wonder the emperor likes her, this kind of temperament, this palace likes it." ”

Qin Balm didn't answer anymore.

Since half a year, Emperor Jianning has gone to Fengyang Hall more and more times, and gradually, it has exceeded the number of times all the concubines in the harem combined.

"It's okay...... Empress Qin opened her eyes and said, "It's her, better than others." She is a princess who is kind, what can the emperor do if she favors her? ”

"That's what the Queen said." Balsam echoed with a smile, "Even if Lady Zhaoyue gives birth to a prince, it will have no impact on the harem. ”

Hearing the word prince, Empress Qin's brows furrowed slightly, "Balsam, you go and bring Imperial Doctor Liu into the palace, and the palace has something to tell him." ”“

Empress Qin is not worried, she is now five months pregnant. By the time the imperial heir in the womb of Le Chongrong and Yun Ronghua was born, she was seven months pregnant, close to eight months.

By then, it would be too late for her to do anything.

She asked the balsam to make the imperial doctor Liu angry, just to determine whether the imperial heir in the womb of Chong Ronghua and Yun Ronghua was a prince or a princess.

She had already counted in her heart, and she had prepared early.

On December 20 of the third year of Jianning, Imperial Doctor Liu finally gave Empress Qin a clear word.

The royal heir in Le Chongrong's womb is a princess. Because of the joy of being pregnant, the body is extremely weak, and it is far-fetched to want to be born safely.

And in Yun Ronghua's belly, there is eighty percent certainty that he is a little prince. Moreover, it is very healthy, as long as there are no accidents, it can be born safely.

With Imperial Doctor Liu's words, Empress Qin's heart was put in her stomach.

With the prince in Yun Ronghua's womb, she can sit back and relax and give birth to the royal heir in her womb.

The only thing to do now is to look at Yun Ronghua firmly.

On December 22 of the third year of Jianning, the palace maids on the side of Le Chongrong and Yun Ronghua doubled, nominally Le Furong and Yun Ronghua's month is older, so be careful everywhere, beware of the lessons of Zhen Niangzi and Wen Chongyuan.

Empress Qin's approach shocked Le Chongrong, who was already flustered.

She didn't want the child in her womb who might take her life, but now Empress Qin is so strict that she feels that the child in her womb is a prince.

In the midst of the horror of Empress Qin, Lady Yu, Le Chongrong, and Yun Ronghua, the Chinese New Year's Eve of Emperor Jianning's third year came.

Listening to Feng at night, she was also frightened, she was not afraid of the concubines in the harem, she was afraid of fate.

She didn't know if Emperor Jianning's love for her in this life would allow her to escape that tragedy.

The palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was held in the Chengguang Hall of Jianzhang Palace.

On the palace banquet, in addition to the pregnant Queen Qin, who attracted much attention, there were three young ladies from the Xie family, the Qin family, and the Lu family.

Less than half an hour after the palace banquet, Queen Qin, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing heavy hairpins on her hair bun, lost her energy and retired.

Without the presence of the mother of the country, coupled with Emperor Jianning's intention, the palace banquet became a competition between the three young ladies of the family.

Qin Ruolan, the daughter of the Qin family, not only presented a pipa dance at the palace banquet, but also secretly sent autumn waves to Emperor Jianning on the main throne, full of charm.

In this regard, Xie Yuanxing was so angry that he glared at him, and he drank himself with a cup.

The Xie family uses martial arts to talk about high and low, and has always been unaccustomed to the pedantic atmosphere of literati. At present, this Qin family Ruolan is not as good as the pedantic atmosphere of the literati, just like the prostitute in the moon building, which really makes Xie Yuanxing look down on it.

Xie Ruyu sat upright on her seat, her head tilted high, although she was combing her weak daughter's clothes, there was a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes.

Looking at Qin Ruolan's charming appearance, she vomited from her heart.

Lu Miaoer is just like her name, she is really a Miaoer person. Her appearance is not as charming as Qin Ruolan, but she is delicate. Compared with Xie Ruyu, her temperament is a little more poetic and bookish, and she is completely like a beautiful girl.

Halfway through the palace banquet, Xie Yuanxing's eldest son Xie Donghua saw that Qin Ruolan had taken the limelight on the palace banquet, and he was a little anxious about his daughter, afraid that she would not be able to enter the eyes of Emperor Jianning.

So at his suggestion, Xie Ruyu put down the wine cup in his hand and jumped on the high platform in the middle of the palace banquet with two short guns.

These two short guns are specially made, and they are the weapons that Xie Ruyu uses to practice martial arts on weekdays. The gun body and gun head can be divided into groups, all of which are made of high-quality fine iron. Where the heads of the guns meet, there is a red tassel like a flame.

After jumping on the high platform, Xie Ruyu thought that the wide skirt and sleeves were in the way. Holding a short gun in her right hand, she swiped hard, and the long sleeves 'hissed' into short sleeves, and the long skirt was raised by her hand and tied around her waist, and the baby pink pants under the long skirt loomed.

The concubines at the palace banquet all exclaimed in their hearts.

What woman would dare to be so bold as to tear her gorgeous dress with a short gun and lift up her long skirt!

This move is unseemly to do in your own boudoir, let alone on top of the royal family's palace banquet!!

When Xie Yuanxing saw Xie Ruyu's move, his already angry face became even more angry, and his gaze at his eldest son Xie Donghua was as sharp as a knife!

He couldn't look down on Qin Ruolan's charm anymore, and he knew that Xie Ruyu's bold actions would not be able to enter the palace!

Xie Ruyu doesn't care what her grandfather thinks, she doesn't have silk and bamboo, she doesn't need drums, she is holding two guns, guns and guns are windy, and the two red tassels are like two flames, floating in front and behind her.

After dancing heroically for a while, Xie Ruyu raised her hand, and the short spear in her right hand took off her hand and stabbed straight into the cowhide drum ten zhang away from her and used to accompany the moon.

'Bang', the cowhide drum, broken, in the center.

At the palace banquet, it was quiet. The concubines who sat close to the drum already showed a look of horror on their faces.

Xie Ruyu stood on the high platform, her eyes shining, her chest rising and falling slightly, and her cheeks were flushed. She glanced at Qin Ruolan contemptuously, and a provocative smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

Xie Yuanxing stood up from the table and shouted angrily at Xie Ruyu, "Ruyu, you are presumptuous!" ”

Xie Ruyu looked back at the angry Xie Yuanxing, and called out in surprise, "Grandfather ......"

Xie Yuanxing waved his hand at Xie Ruyu, and Xie Ruyu jumped off the two-foot-high platform.

Xie Yuanxing took Xie Ruyu's hand, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Jianning, and said to Emperor Jianning, "The old minister taught his descendants that there was no way, and he asked the emperor to punish him severely." After going back, the old minister will definitely discipline him strictly. ”

Xie Ruyu's actions made Xie Yuanxing give her up in his heart.

Although Xie Ruyu also knelt down with Xie Yuanxing, she shrugged indifferently.

She didn't want to be in the limelight, she just couldn't get used to Qin Ruolan's coy appearance.

"General Xie, please get up," Emperor Jianning smiled at Xie Yuanxing, "Xie Jiarongma, I have always known." But I don't want to even the young lady of the Xie family, the same is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows. Good, good! Emperor Jianning high-fived and asked Xie Ruyu, who was kneeling below, "What you are holding in your hand is a short spear?" ”

Xie Ruyu raised his head and replied loudly, "If you go back to the emperor, it is a short gun." ”

Some palace people had already taken down the short spear on the cowhide drum and presented it to Emperor Jianning.

Emperor Jianning took it in his hand and smiled at Xie Ruyu, "This short gun is lighter." ”

"No matter how heavy it is, I can move!" Xie Ruyu said unconvinced.

Xie Yuanxing turned around and glared at Xie Ruyu angrily, successfully making Xie Ruyu stop his voice. Xie Yuanxing bowed his head to Emperor Jianning again and said, "There is no way for the old minister to teach, and there is no way for the old minister to teach." ”

"It's okay, Miss Xie can have such a temperament, it's a blessing for General Xie." Emperor Jianning handed the short gun in his hand to the palace man on the side, and said to Xie Ruyu, "Since you like short guns, then I will reward you with one." Lu Zhi, "

Lu Zhi hurriedly bent down and said yes.

"Let the craftsman make a golden short gun in this size." Emperor Jianning pointed to the short spear in the hands of the palace people, "It's ready, send it to the Xie Mansion, and reward it to Miss Xie Jiayan." ”

Xie Yuanxing was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Xie Ruyu to thank him.

Xie Ruyu was blessed by misfortune, although she could not enter the palace as a concubine, she received supreme honor.

After this short episode, the palace people changed their faces to new drums, and the silk and bamboo drum music continued to sound.

When the palace banquet was over, the three ladies of the family who entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, Qin Ruolan and Lu Miaoer, stayed in the palace, and Xie Yuanxing happily led Xie Ruyu back.

Before Ye Ting Feng left the Chengguang Palace, he glanced at Emperor Jianning and smiled.

Others thought that Xie Ruyu couldn't enter the palace because of her shocking behavior at the palace banquet, but they didn't know that such a result was decided a few days ago.

Xie Ruyu is Xie Yuanxing's granddaughter, how could Emperor Jianning let her enter the palace and become a concubine. Even if Xie Ruyu didn't dance at the palace banquet, Emperor Jianning would find some unwarranted reason to let Xie Yuanxing take him back.

Qin Ruolan must enter the palace. Whether she looks like a fairy and is like the sea or looks like Dong Shi and doesn't know etiquette, she must enter the palace.

Because the Xie family and the Qin family already have a disagreement.

Moreover, Empress Qin is a concubine, and the Qin family sent in a concubine at this time, which is a thorn in Empress Qin's heart.

Qin Ruolan entered the palace as a concubine, which had more advantages and fewer disadvantages for Emperor Jianning.

As for Lu Miaoer, it was an explanation to Lu Boyun.

Although the Lu family is a family, it has been attached to the Xie family in recent years, if you want Lu Boyun to be truly owned by Emperor Jianning, then you must give the Lu family a reason to become strong.

The daughter of the Lu family entered the palace as a concubine, and it was natural.

These were discussed by Emperor Jianning and Feng at the same night. In front of the government and government, what is a beauty, is it really important?

Not at all, the most important thing is to have useful value.

After returning to the Fengyang Hall to bathe and go to bed, it was almost time. Listening to Feng lying on the bed at night, all he recalled in his mind was the picture of Xie Ruyu dancing the gun.

One move and one style are in place, and they are not muddy and watery at all. Unlike her two blows, they are all fists and embroidered legs.

Raising his white jade hand and dancing twice in the air, Ye Tingfeng felt that if he danced with two guns, he should be able to dance.

The short gun is not as good as the long gun, and it is difficult to control the strength, and the dance is also flexible. In short, it was much stronger than the dagger and hairpin she was carrying......

In a daze, Ye Tingfeng decided to find a time to talk to Emperor Jianning, learn to dance the gun, and defend himself in the future......"

On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning gave the harem concubines a reward.

Because last year, Emperor Jianning gave Ye Tingfeng a string of jade bracelets polished by novices, so Ye Tingfeng has special expectations for this year's reward.

Holding back the smile on his face, Ye Tingfeng carried the tray containing the reward to the dormitory.

After sending Cai Xiang and Wen Qing out, she looked closely at a phoenix hairpin made of gold with a ruby pendant, a pair of agate bracelets, and a jade pendant of fine color carved with a phoenix.

The ruby phoenix hairpin is a long-term object in the palace, and I can't see anything.

Ye Tingfeng set his eyes on the pair of agate bracelets and the jade pendant carved with a phoenix.

She closed her beautiful eyes and held the bracelet in her hand and touched it carefully. Feeling the coldness of the tentacles, I listened to the night and wanted to find a flaw in it.

Emperor Jianning has a lot of opportunities, and it is impossible to practice the craft of grinding jade every day, and the things he polishes will definitely have shortcomings.

Ye Tingfeng touched the pair of jade bracelets several times in a row, but failed to touch the slightest flaw, and finally put it down.

She took the jade pendant in her hand again and touched it carefully, but as soon as she got her hands, she put it down.

The phoenix carving on the jade pendant is vivid, as it is true, and it cannot be from the handwriting of Emperor Jianning.

Disappointment rose in my heart, and the good mood of listening to Kaede at night was gone.

She repeatedly said to herself in her heart that Emperor Jianning, as an emperor, was so busy, Xu forgot about it, and Xu didn't have time.

The two are tired of being together almost every day, but there are no gifts and nothing.

After saying such words to himself over and over again, Ye Tingfeng's heart calmed down slightly.

But when her beautiful eyes inadvertently swept to the tray containing the reward, nameless annoyance suddenly surged into her heart, and she was overwhelmed.

Cai Xiang and Wen Qing walked in from the outside, Cai Xiang was holding a pale green palace dress in her hands, and Wen Qing was holding a pure white cloak made of fox skin.

"Princess, you should have enough fun stealing." Cai Xiang said with a teasing smile, "Hurry up and change your clothes, you have to go to the Guan Ju Palace to greet the queen." ”

Ye Ting Feng took the Jinpa off his face, and remembered that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the concubines of the harem were asked to go to the Guan Ju Palace to greet the queen.

She was in lockdown last year, so she skipped the process.

said that it was to invite peace, but in fact, it was to bring the jewelry newly rewarded by Emperor Jianning, and it was just a matter of fighting beauty.

After Wen Qing put down the cloak, she walked to the bed, looked at the phoenix hairpin with the ruby as the pendant and smiled, "Master, this phoenix hairpin is really gorgeous." ”

Cai Xiang walked up to Ye Tingfeng, took Ye Tingfeng's hand and helped Ye Tingfeng up, and said, "Princess, if you don't change your clothes, it will be too late, although you don't need to arrive early as a lady, it shouldn't be too late." ”

Listening to Kaede's long sigh at night, he stood up and asked for incense and Qingqing to change his clothes.

The pale green palace dress brought by Cai Xiang is more solemn than the palace dress on weekdays, and it is three points more noble to wear on the body. The baby pink embroidered butterflies and the gorgeous brocade ribbon embellished with broken jade soften the strength of the palace costume and outline the tenderness of the little daughter.

Otsuki doesn't have such a thing as a grade hairpin, and the things he brings are rarely graded. I want others to see the dignity and humility just from the dress, and all look at the beauty of the costumes.

So Wen Qing gave Ye Tingfeng a high bun and wore a pearl emerald. The phoenix hairpin newly rewarded by Emperor Jianning is the most conspicuous place on the right bun.

The green daisy thrush, rouge lips, and a little peach blossom pollen make Ye Tingfeng's face tender and white with a hint of ruddy.

Two green jade earrings were dotted on the side of the ear, trembling slightly with the movement, falling on the cheeks, generating a slight coolness.

After dressing up, Cai Xiang draped the fox fur cloak on Ye Tingfeng's shoulders, and took a small hand stove to let Ye Tingfeng hold in his arms.

As soon as he stepped out of the Fengyang Palace, he listened to Feng looking at the hot sun in the sky at night, and said to Cai Xiang, "Today, it's very warm." ”

The big moon is short in winter, the weather is changeable, when there is rain, the cold wind blows, the cold enters the heart, and when there is no rain, the sun comes out, just like spring.

Cai Xiang glanced at the drip in the main hall, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Princess, hurry up, it's getting late." ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded, and took Cai Xiang and Yao Yuan to Guan Ju Palace.

At this time, the Guan Ju Palace was already full of concubines. They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, full of pearls.

Seeing that Ye Tingfeng was coming, they all asked Ye Tingfeng to be safe, and then made a way to the innermost part of the palace.

The dark air is blowing, and at the end of the path lined with red brocade, there is a jade lady in a beautiful dress standing in Shenghua.

Mrs. Yu was wearing a blue palace dress, the style was the same as that worn by Ye Tingfeng, but in terms of color, it was three points calmer, which matched Mrs. Yu's age.

Holding the high bun, the hair ornament on the bun showed a purple jade step with the stars holding the moon.

When Mrs. Yu saw Ye Tingfeng, she took a few steps forward, took Ye Tingfeng's hand affectionately, her eyes swept over the ruby phoenix hairpin, and said with a soft smile, "The emperor rewarded my sister's phoenix hairpin, it is really gorgeous." ”

Ye Tingfeng pursed her lips and smiled, held Mrs. Yu's hand back, and said with a smile, "Sister's purple jade step shake, it's really beautiful, crystal clear, it's so beautiful." ”
