Xia Man's canonized decree soon became known to the six palaces, and each palace gathered in Weiyang Palace early in the morning to talk about it when they asked the queen for peace.

"Sure enough, it flew up the branches." Liu Wuwu's bright red nails sank into the flesh, and his face was a little hideous.

Since Ye Wanli entered the palace, she has been very close to Feng Ruoqing, and now that she can hear this, she is also a little curious, and asked softly: "Is Concubine Heng the maidservant girl who used to be the emperor's side?"

Feng Ruoqing smiled, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, things in the palace need to be cautious in words and deeds." ”

"Thank you, sister." Ye Wanli covered her mouth and nose, drank tea by herself, and listened to the noise of the other concubines.

"Who doesn't know that she is a maidservant, how she turned into a concubine Heng, it's a hell." The two nobles under the seat whispered with a look of jealousy.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Mama Li helped Zhou Jinge and slowly sat on the top, and the concubines below all said goodbye.

As soon as the palaces invited An, Xia Man was helped into the palace by Xin'er, and just after the big ceremony, he was sent by Liu Wuwu: "Concubine Heng was canonized, why did she lose the number of courtesies, she was late, whether she disrespected the queen." ”

Xia Man ignored Liu Wuwu, and bluntly pleaded guilty: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubines are ordered to deal with some palace affairs in the Xuanlin Palace, but it is too late." ”

Although Zhou Jinge had never seen Xia Man, he heard his father talk about it, and knew that she had accompanied the emperor since the military camp and was a hero of the emperor's ascension to the throne, so he smiled and said: "Since there is a reason for something, it is unintentional, and there is no fault if there is no intention, you can sit down first." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xia Man sat down by himself and looked at the concubines in the hall, except for the second concubine of Xiande, the rest of the people were a little unfamiliar, but seeing their clothes and sitting order, they could guess that Feng Ruoqing was next to the newly sealed Zhaoyi Ye Wanli, and the two below should be the two concubines of the palace.

Ye Wanli touched Xia Man's gaze and smiled in response, while the two nobles stared at Xia Man as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Today is the day of Concubine Heng's great joy, and the palace will send you a Guanyin hand bead to celebrate." As soon as the queen raised her hand, the maidservant girl presented the hand beads, and Xia Man thanked her for her kindness before letting Xin'er put it away.

"All the palaces have arrived, let's talk about business, the emperor has just ascended the throne, according to the convention, the harem will hold a birthday banquet to celebrate, do you have a good plan?"

"The concubines thought that the longevity banquet should be simple first, in order to show the virtue of the new emperor." Feng Ruoqing spoke first and suggested.

Liu Wuwu sneered: "Now that the Southern Dynasties are rich and strong, if they were like this at the beginning of their accession to the throne, how can they show the talent of the new emperor." ”

Zhou Jinge listened to the words of the second concubine of Xiande, was noncommittal, looked at Xia Man, and asked, "What does Concubine Heng think?"

Xia Man was in a fugue, and suddenly heard his name called by the upper seat, so he reacted, "The concubine thinks that it is not good to be too complicated and too simple, just moderate." ”

"Then let's prepare as Concubine Heng said."

After the Weiyang Palace greeted, the palaces walked out one after another, but on the path, Xia Man was stopped by Ye Wanli, "Concubine Heng, please stay." ”

Xia Man turned around and saw Feng Ruoqing and Ye Wanli standing behind him, a little surprised, and after saluting Feng Ruoqing, he said, "Ye Zhaoyi, this is?"

"Sister Wan'an." Ye Wanli was blessed, and said: "Although my sister has never seen my sister, I also admire my sister's courage. ”

"Ye Zhaoyi is overrated." Xia Man was a little bored, dealing with these concubines, he really had a headache, and he wanted to go back to the palace, "If Concubine De and Ye Zhaoyi are fine, then the palace will take the first step." ”

Xia Man saw that Feng Ruoqing had no objections, so he smiled and nodded, and was helped back to Yanliang Palace by Xin'er.

Ye Wanli looked at Xia Man's distant back, and said with a pout: "It seems to be a little arrogant and difficult to get along with." ”

Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, "She is a smart person, you will know it slowly, and you don't need to be too close and alienated." ”

"Sister Xie, mention it." Ye Wanli stepped forward to hold Feng Ruoqing's hand and said, "The emperor favors her, why did he just give the concubine position?"

"What about the position, what matters is the title, the word constant, everyone knows it, not to mention that she was given Yanliang Palace." Feng Ruoqing was a little dazed as she spoke, with loss in her eyes.

Ye Wanli looked at Feng Ruoqing's expression, shook his head, and said, "It's just Yanliang Palace, it doesn't sound like an auspicious palace." ”

Feng Ruoqing smiled at the corner of her mouth and muttered, "Yanliang Palace, I hope it's not to see things and think about people." ”

"What are you talking about?" Ye Wanli looked at Feng Ruoqing with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing, let's go."

The two went back to the palace together.

After the palaces left, Zhou Jinge called the maidservant, who had been worried and tired recently, and took advantage of his leisure time to bathe and relieve his fatigue.

Mama Li turned the incense powder into water, gently rubbed it and smeared it on Zhou Jinge's back and neck, and persuaded: "Niangniang is too hard, watch your body." ”

Zhou Jinge closed his eyes, let the heat flutter on his body, and only said slowly: "This palace is the queen, so naturally you have to worry about everything." ”

"Niangniang has to take care of her body before she can be happy." Mama Li has followed Zhou Jinge for a long time, and she knows the form in the palace, if she has no children to rely on, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Zhou Jinge heard this, his face turned red, and he said helplessly: "However, the palace has not moved for a long time. ”

"Don't be anxious, be happy, and you will get what you want." Mama Li smeared the remaining incense powder on Zhou Jinge's hair, and then gently massaged her shoulders and back.

"I hope so." Zhou Jinge took a deep breath before saying, "What does Grandma think of Concubine Heng?"

"What do you mean?"

"Looking at her expression, words and deeds today, she looks like a simple-minded person."

Mama Li smiled, shook her head and said, "Concubine Heng has a purpose in her actions, and her current state is mostly to deal with it, not sincerely. ”

"It seems that the harem has another good show." Zhou Jinge picked up the petals in the bathtub and sniffed hard, a smile on his lips.

Xia Man returned to the palace, and was called to the Xuanlin Hall by Xiao Mo.

"Did they make things difficult for you?" Xiao Mo took off his court clothes, hugged Xia Man from behind, and gently sniffed the fragrance in her hair.

"That's not it, it's just a little tired between coping." Xia Man took advantage of the situation to lean on Xiao Mo's chest, slowed down, and said, "Who let you have so many wives and concubines." ”

Xiao Mo pulled hard, then turned Xia Man around, pressed it against her forehead, and said softly: "If you don't want to deal with it, you will be exempted from asking for peace in the future." ”

"Forget it." Xia Man stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Xiao Mo's waist before saying, "The harem is treacherous, and it is not beneficial to keep some rules." ”

"Since you and I have each other's hearts, then I will do my best to protect you." Xiao Mo stroked Xia Man's hair, with determination in his eyes.

Xia Man nodded, although there are often scenes in the history books about the harem framing and fighting for the throne, but she knows very well that if the emperor has the intention to protect it, the conspiracy of the harem is fearless, if the emperor has no intention of protecting it, it will be difficult for him to move forward, Xiao Mo said this, Xia Man knows that he can live according to his heart, but for himself, whether he can overcome the mind in his heart, whether he can completely ignore his wives and concubines, and end up with him.

Xiao Mo seemed to feel Xia Man's abnormality, hugged her tightly, put it next to her ear, and said, "Let's give birth to a prince." ”

"Huh?" Xia Man didn't know why Xiao Mo changed the topic, he was a little surprised, and a little confused, "Why the emperor?"

Xiao Mo smiled, kissed Xia Man's lips, and only after half a sound did he let go of Xia Man, who was a little short-breathed, and said, "I even have a name in mind, and I will be called Xiao Bi."

Before Xia Man could react, he was pressed down by Xiao Mo on the desk, and the delicate kiss fell instantly, making Xia Man lose his mind and was unable to think about Xiao Mo's words.
