During the winter solstice, Kyoto is covered with snow.

Brother Jue was indulging in Princess Qianxi's busy schedule, and took the time to come to my Su Ning Palace, I haven't seen him in the past few years, I see him as consistent, and he is like a jade person on the tip of my heart. Now it has only been a few months in this palace, and I feel that he is a stranger, with a murderous awe-inspiring body, and his eyebrows and eyes are cold.

Deep in the bed curtain of the night silence, he embraced me and whispered in my ear, "Warbler, warbler." ”

This is the bond I have always dreamed of, but this bond is shared by all the concubines in the harem after all.

The next day he left early, and I woke up from a dream, and my pillow was empty, cold and cold. It was as if last night was a nonsensical Huaxu dream, and everything was my self-deception.

The new female official is named Qiao'er, with a clever name in it, but her personality is wooden and silent.

He has served me for nearly a year, and he has not spoken to me more than fifty words. She silently served me to freshen up and dress, and lightly prepared the pen and ink for me. Stand by my side silently and use your actions to implement the idea that silence is golden.

But today is different from the usual leisure, I am doing my daily pastime, painting.

The sudden arrival of Princess Qianxi of the neighboring country, before the sweeping slave at the gate of the palace could make a report, she led a mighty group of people straight to my dormitory.

According to her position, she is Concubine Xi, one level higher than me. I could only bow my eyebrows and get up and salute.

There was a distant view before, and Concubine Xi was beautiful and charming, and her style was infinite. A pair of eyes are especially beautiful. Her eye sockets are deep, her eyes are light green, and she only feels that she sees the beginning of all things, a fresh and pleasant spring, and everyone who sees it has to fall in love.

Concubine Xi stared at me fiercely with these extremely beautiful eyes, and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty came to my dormitory yesterday, but this demonic wind that came from nowhere blew him to the fox. Sister, do you think this fox should be punished? ”

A woman's jealousy and pampering and arrogance are truly extraordinary. The queen has not yet had the right to punish the harem concubines at will, but this concubine has gone beyond her bounds and taken the lead. I bowed my head and inadvertently swept her slightly bulging belly. It turned out that she was pregnant and had a dragon son, although she was so arrogant.

I smiled shyly," my sister said. ”

She intensified her efforts, and scolded me in a strange manner, saying a few words of shamelessness, telling me to do my own thing, and not to do something to confuse the king. After I nodded again and again, I bowed three times and four times, and walked away with my toes high.

Perhaps I got the satisfaction of vanity by showing off my might, and in the next few days, as long as I felt that my brother had stayed with the concubines, she would personally visit and greet them.

Because of her high position, she has neighbors to rely on. Some concubines are also like me, smiling humbly and politely on the surface, turning their heads to the sky, scolding fiercely, jealous woman, see how long you can be arrogant.

But there is always an iron plate. That's the other one of my rank, the Jade Princess.

Concubine Yu is the cousin of the current empress. Nian Fang is only fifteen years old, innocent and romantic, lively and lovely, but his temperament is not small. can please Brother Jue, and can also provoke Brother Jue to be angry, which often makes people love and hate.

The face-to-face quarrel between Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu, a group of people pulled and pulled chaotically, pushing and shoving each other, and no one would let anyone.

Then, when the two concubines fell down together and Concubine Xi screamed, the matter was over. Concubine Xi lost the dragon son and suffered a great loss of vitality. The jade concubine was even more unfortunate to stumble on the corner of the wooden table in the hall, hurting her brain, and died soon after.

In the cold of this winter, Xiang Xiaoyu killed the second concubine.

Brother Jue was deeply saddened and demoted the position of Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi's status has dropped to a beauty, and the real low can't be lower.

Brother Jue is not nostalgic for her gentle township. It's just that because of the death of Concubine Yu, the queen's originally weak body is even weaker, and she almost went with her cousin. In order to take care of the queen's noble health and well-being, he has no intention of paying attention to other things.

After the sting, the spring cold intensified.

The queen's health is better, but Xi Meiren is getting more and more exhausted. The first child was lost, and the root cause of the disease was left untreated. I have to experience abdominal pain every day. At the beginning, the scenery was infinite, but now no one cares. was asked angrily at every turn, who will pay for Concubine Yu's life?

I have seen her kneeling at the door of Brother Jue's dormitory, praying to see her holy face, crying breathlessly, and finally fainting, and being rudely dragged down by the guards.

I have also seen her begging for medicinal materials from the imperial doctor.

Later, she overhung herself. That night was the first rain of early spring, and the thunder roared, and the crackling raindrops poured down, and she died quietly. It was discovered the next day.

Neighboring countries are not going to make a big fuss about this and want to start a war. Brother Jue waved a decree and ordered my eldest brother to send troops to conquer the Southern Regions.

The eldest brother received the order, but made a request.

When he succeeds, he will be allowed to come to the palace from the fiefdom to see me if I am well.

The letter passed from Brother Jue's hand to my hand, and the eldest brother was earnest, and the last sentence was, "My sister is safe." I can't help but feel a little sad.

After three years in the palace, he didn't look like a pamper, and he still made the eldest brother so concerned, which really shouldn't be.

So that night, I specially boiled ginseng soup and sent it to the imperial study like a concubine who was eager to be favored.

As a sign of my sincerity, I dressed up and went in person.

It's a little late, and there is already a queue in front. There are as sincere as me, there are slaves sent by luck, I don't know how long it has been, there is still a long line in front, my feet are hurting, the weak willow is leaning on Qiao'er, and the ginseng soup in my hand is already cold and can't be cold.

I happened to hear a palace person in front of me say: "There are too many people, I guess there will be no drama tonight." We made a mistake again about what Niang Niang had sent. ”

I looked at the bowl in my hand, and then at Qiao'er.

In order not to avoid the good soup not being wasted. In Qiao'er's shout of don't say, I still finished drinking.

The carefully boiled ginseng soup posture is really extraordinary, delicious and greatly replenished.

It's just that at this time, the big eunuch who served in the imperial study suddenly raised his voice

shouted, "Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty said that you want to drink the soup you boiled." ”

This sentence is like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting me like a fire, not only was I not flattered, but I also regretted it a lot, I knew that I wouldn't send it today!

I looked at the remaining tendrils at the bottom of the bowl and asked, "Is it too late to spit it out now?" ”

Qiao'er shook her head.

Could it be that my life of competing for favor is about to end without a problem before it has even begun?

The big eunuch saw that I was slow to come out, so he took the initiative to look for me. A pair of old eyes were extremely sharp, and they successfully lifted me out of the crowd and said, "Please concubine, don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry." ”
