The joyful kowtow again and again to thank him: "Thank you Niangniang for lifting up the slave. Even if the slave is a concubine in the future. When the first house is the main seat. I don't dare to forget my roots. is still a slave and a maidservant. Repay your kindness for your support today......"

"Enough."

Ming Shen suddenly raised his voice. interrupted her chatter of gratitude. After a moment of silence. He softened his tone again and said, "Xi'er. This palace advises you to give up this thought. Don't be fooled by the vanity and wealth of the moment. And bury yourself in the harem of intrigue. Ruthless is the most imperial family. The emperor is a cold-hearted person. It's definitely not a good match for life. Got it?"

"Lingxi's." Lingxi replied in a muffled voice. Bury your head in the old low. Gnash one's teeth. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment. The silk in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

...

Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart. Long Yanxiang soared into the room. Sultry. And it has the effect of concentrating and meditating exclusively for the emperor.

Wen Xuan was wearing a yellow silk silk robe with a golden dragon robe. Leaning on the big kang near the window in the west warmth. Between his slender fingers was a black jade chess piece. Put on the emaciated jaw for deep contemplation. The afterglow of dusk spilled in through the windows. A layer of broken gold crossed over his side face. Make his gloomy peach eyes. Full of blades.

Every time I am lucky, there should not be a pregnant concubine. He would burn peach blossom incense for contraception. But on the night of the first emperor's birthday. His impulse in the carriage. As a result, the baby of Ming Shenzhu is darkly knotted......

Li Yu walked in quietly. Gently place the tea cup on the Nanmu table. A low voice interrupted Wen Xuan's thoughts: "Your Majesty. The White Commander has arrived. Wait outside the temple."

Wen Xuan put down the chess pieces in his hand. Raised his eyes and said, "Xuan."

"Huh." Li Yu bowed and retreated. After a while. I saw Bai Pengfei wearing a stone blue lake silk robe. Neck wearing coral towards pearls. Stride into the temple.

He made a great salute to Wen Xuan. One knee to the ground. He clasped his fists and said: "The last general, Bai Pengfei, knocks on the emperor. Long live our emperor. Banzai. Hooray."

"Get up. There will be no outsiders here. What a deceit to do." Wen Xuan raised his hand slightly. Point to the opposite position. Motioning for him to sit down.

Bai Pengfei is not polite. Directly sat down. Staring at the half-game of chess on a few points. Surprised: "How can the emperor play chess with himself. You are in a hurry to call the last to come. I don't want the last general to play chess with you?"

Wen Xuan picked up the teacup in his hand. While blowing. Bian smiled disdainfully: "Just your stinky chess. I want to talk to me. I'm not uncommon to go with you."

"Oh." Bai Pengfei's tail note is upturned. He asked again: "Then the emperor urgently summons the last general. Why is that?"

Wen Xuan took a sip of tea. With a solemn expression, he said, "There is a family matter. I want to hear what you think."

Bai Pengfei sighed in his heart. Vaguely aware that it is not good. But there is no trace on the face. grinned: "Brother-in-law...... Don't be so serious. The last general looked nervous. Let's just say it. What the hell is it for?"

Wen Xuan slowly put down the teacup. Sideways staring out the window at the flowing gold. Squinting peach blossom eyes. The tone was light: "This matter is about the child in Concubine Shen's belly."

"This ......"

Bai Pengfei knows his brother-in-law's vicious nature. He also knew that he hated the Nalan clan to the point where his blood and bones could not tolerate it. But it's still hard to predict that he will be so ruthless. I actually wanted to kill my parents and children. There was a moment of consternation.

"This ...... It was originally the emperor's family affair. The last general is a foreign minister. How dare you mess with your beak?"

"Pengfei. Out. You are my servant. in. It's my brother-in-law and confidant again. How can it be considered an outsider? You don't have to panic. Since I have told you. I just want to hear your opinion first. I'm getting an idea." Wen Xuan's tone was so calm that there was no wave. But my heart has already struggled a thousand times. How bright the old days were. I didn't expect that there would be no part today. When hesitating.

Seeing that his mind is undecided. Bai Pengfei saw that things had taken a turn for the better. Busy with affection. Knowing the reason. intended to intercede for Ming Shen: "The last general thinks. The emperor has to think twice about this matter. Let's not talk about Concubine Shen's virtuous and virtuous virtues. Never at fault. And still the woman you love. Just the child in her womb. That's your flesh and blood. Are you really ruthless enough to do that?"

"I still have no children under my knees. Naturally, I am reluctant to give up this child. The queen has passed the best age for a woman to have children. And your sister. I have been following me for all these years and nothing has come out. As for Concubine Lin and Concubine Yan. I haven't decided who I'm going to promote. The only concubine Shen who has an imperial heir. It's the last person you should be pregnant."

Speaking of which. Wen Xuan's face was already very gloomy. Suddenly it was like ashes of fire. It's cold." I will not tolerate my eldest son. It is stained with the blood of the Nalan family."

"That. What if it's a princess?" Bai Pengfei blurted out. After realizing that you are out of shape. Busy restrained his emotions: "The end will think. The emperor might as well wait a few months. Let the hospital diagnose whether it is a man or a woman. If only it were a princess. The emperor can be gracious once. After all.. Blood is thicker than water."

Wen Xuan nodded. took out a stack of packets of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Pengfei. motioned for him to come over in his ear. He lowered his voice and said, "This matter will be done as you say. If too the hospital diagnosed it was a prince. You will take a few henchmen to guard the Yikun Palace. By the way, I forcibly poured this pack of abortion pills into Concubine Shen. In addition to Concubine Shen. Wipe them all out."

Bai Pengfei tightened his sword eyebrows and took the medicine. His lips and teeth replied with a stiff mouth: "The last general...... Obey the oracle."

...

Time is in a quiet time. Quietly flowing away. The tranquility of late autumn is buried under thick fallen leaves. In the blink of an eye, winter is coming. Goose feathers of snow are flying all over the sky. The whole palace was covered in silver. Spread on the ground like white velvet. Clean and unstained fiber.

It was a snowy day. Ming Shen wears a wide lotus blue and gold thread embroidered Baizi pomegranate flower satin robe. The cover is covered with dark purple satin and fox armpits. Eight-winged golden phoenix hairpin. Eyebrows and squirrels Zhao Jun Dou. Hand cage flower bird enamel stove. Ying Ying stands under the porch. Bored palace watchers sweeping snow.

I saw the merciless broom. The surface of the seemingly pristine snow was lifted by brush. Revealing a variety of unbearable and dirty mud that is covered under the white. It's like the filth of the human heart. Different means to the same end. But they are all self-deceptive.

The palace people are cleaning very fast. Not for a while. The clean and moist bluestone pavement spreads to the palace gate. I saw the shadow of the hundred birds and phoenixes behind the wall. A little eunuch with a raw eye came in a hurry. He trotted. Crawling to Ming Shen. Lang Sheng said: "The slave knocks on Concubine Shen. Commander Bai and the inner chamberlain oversaw clues about the cause of the death of the old general Nalan. The special minions came to pass the word. I beg the lady to deign to move."

Listen carefully. I can't take care of my eight-month-old bulky body at the moment. Only carried Caifeng to support him. So he followed the little eunuch in the direction of the inner eunuch.

...

Ming Shen just walked on the front foot. The green calyx immediately held a child's belly pocket. Go and ask for advice on the craft of Qiu Gui embroidery. The little mirror hurriedly pulled the pebble to gamble and eat and drink. There is one green bead left. was also broken up by Lingxi making excuses.

Then. Lingxi is also a personal female officer. Order other palace people not to trespass into the temple. And herself. Then take advantage of the fact that there is no one around. Quietly slipped into Mingshen's dormitory.

I saw her walk lightly into the blue gauze cupboard. Hung the courage to open Ming Shen's red sandalwood closet. Instantly. A glittering palace satin dress. A list of deep and shallow in between. Charming and glamorous.

It turns out that a concubine can have so many gorgeous clothes. I haven't seen how to wear it before. This time the spirit rhino is really an eye-opener.

Although Ming Shen is just a concubine of the second grade. The status is far below the queen and Bai Fengxi. But grace is the first honor among the concubines in this harem. Even though the clothing and clothing system is never determined to be luxurious and cumbersome. But. The material and workmanship are all excellent quality.

Lingxi couldn't put it down, and swept over these light and soft palace clothes. Gradually pick up the eyes. In the end, he picked out the clothes that Ming Shen wore on the day of the canonization of the concubine and draped them over his slender shoulders. Orange placket with standing collar and gold robe. The hem is embroidered with the seawater auspicious pattern of Jiangya. The collar and cuffs are also covered with exquisite Suzhou embroidery. The delicate peony and the smart phoenix tail complement each other. She looks like a fairy concubine in the nine-fold palace. Descend to the dust.

She couldn't help but flutter. Waving wide cloud sleeves. Joyfully whirling in the temple. Eventually, I was tripped up by the floor-length skirt. Leaned over and fell in front of the gorgeous tortoiseshell dresser.

The spirit rhino stared at the dim mirror in a daze. reflects the appearance of himself dressed in the palace concubine uniform. I really like this complicated and cumbersome dress up now. Shining and extravagant. And she instinctively felt it. If she combs it into a bun. Wear a concubine's beaded hairpin jewelry. Not inferior to the masters of the palace.

Thereupon. She opened Ming Shen's painted double-layered nine-child makeup again. Take out a phoenix hairpin that the emperor gave to Ming Shen. Slowly inserted into the bun of the palace maid on her head.

"Yo. What a bold minion. Dare to steal the clothes of the concubine. According to the palace rules. He should be beaten to death."

With a playful chuckle. I saw Wen Xuan's handsome face. It is reflected in the bronze mirror.

He is wearing a bright yellow Shu brocade cloud play pearl dragon robe today. Hands around chest. With a playful smile in the corner of his eyes. It's been a long time.

The spirit hears the rebuke. was so frightened that he turned white on the spot. Busy prostrate on the ground. The voice trembled like a willow in the wind: "The emperor forgives his sins. The minions were just curious. I won't dare to do it again."

"Where's your master?"

"White ..... The White Commander has just sent someone. Invite my mother to the inner warden."

"You know what's going on."

"It seems that the cause of my mother's father's death has been found. The minions were not waiting at the time. So I don't really listen to it. But. When my mother left, she only took Caifeng with her. And I'm in a hurry. I guess so."

Wen Xuan leaned against the mirror table of the Kuiwen scroll. Bow your eyebrows and think for a moment. Only then did he suddenly bend over and help the spirit rhino up. Chong Qi chuckled ambiguously: "Raise your head. Let me take a closer look. You dress up as a concubine. Is it beautiful or not?"

"The minion is nothing more than the posture of a willow. How can you get the peerless beauty of Concubine Shen. I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the emperor's eyes." The spirit rhino is modest on his lips. But he had already looked at Wen Xuan with his back on his back. The moment when the eyes met. Red clouds burned on his face. A heart begins to pound. It's almost out of the chest. Filled with a strange feeling of joy and vertigo.

This emperor who holds the power of life and death in the world. It's not as unattainable as it used to be. It's stark. The real one was just a few inches away from her. Even she could feel the heat coming from him. Mixed with the good smell of dragon incense. Like the melting snow in spring, the head and face are shrouded.

Wen Xuan looked down at her delicate face. Well versed in women's comparison and vanity. Thereupon. With a smile, he said, "Beginner strict makeup. It looks like a shaved figure. How coquettish the moves. Although you and Concubine Shen have their own merits. But the victory is more tactful and lovely."

Lingxi heard the emperor's appreciation. The joy bloomed in my heart. Especially when I heard him say that he was more in line with the Sacred Heart than Ming Shen. I couldn't stand the woman's reserve anymore. Slowly turn your back on. Gently faded the strands of gold.
