The next day, Xia Ling'er asked the palace maid to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts and ensure that no foreign ministers were there, which was very important, she understood that it was a very serious mistake to affect the emperor's political affairs.

Xia Ling'er came to the emperor's residence hall, and the eunuchs around the emperor saw that the princess was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"The slave greets the princess, the princess is auspicious!"

"Get up!" Xia Ling'er glanced at the servant kneeling in front of her disdainfully, looked in the direction of the door of the Yangju Hall with cold eyes, and then said, "Go and inform the emperor, just say that I will come to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

If it weren't for this era of dignity and inferiority, Xia Ling'er would definitely be so arrogant that she had no friends.

The eunuch entered the door, leaned over and saluted, and said, "Enlighten the emperor, the princess came to greet the emperor." ”

The emperor is flirting with Concubine Lan at this moment, and he is sweet.

Hearing that the princess came to say goodbye, the emperor raised his head and moved away from Lan Guifei's flattering face, on the face that had just laughed wantonly, the smile disappeared smoothly, although there was no surprise in his eyes, but the seemingly indifferent expression was still a little unexpected, he didn't expect that she would come over to ask for peace today, she must have been very tired after tossing for a day yesterday.

"Let her in." The emperor's tone was unexpected, but it seemed to be more surprised.

Unlike just now, I sat up straight at this time, but there were three points of seriousness.

It seems that in the face of Xia Ling'er, she must not only look like an emperor, but also look like an elder brother.

Look at Concubine Lan again. seems to be disappointing, it is her ability to dominate the emperor alone, but it is her fault to sabotage it without understanding the situation.

looked at the emperor again, only to see the corners of her mouth twitch twice, and the unnatural smile was a fake smile at first glance, a bitter smile.

But she also understands that the weight of this princess in the emperor's heart was announced to the world yesterday. Now is the time when the spring breeze is proud, and it is better not to provoke.

Xia Ling'er entered the house, completely unexpecting that Concubine Lan would be here.

It seems that his own people have not found out.

The smile that had been brewing outside the door on her face gradually disappeared the moment she entered the door, just like Lan Guifei's expression when she heard that she had come to ask for peace, as if she was disappointed.

It's just that Xia Ling'er behaved more obviously, lightly picking her eyelashes, and her eyes slanted to the corners of her eyes, as if hostile.

She seems to be very unaccustomed to a bewitching woman like Concubine Lan, and she has been very disgusted since she saw her coquettish face when she was congratulated by hundreds of officials yesterday.

Women are naturally sensitive and nervously developed animals, just by glancing at this one look, Lan Guifei can read her heart.

Lan Guifei snorted coldly in her heart. tried his best to hide the hatred in his heart in front of the emperor.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, even if you are a princess and the emperor's sister, as long as you are in the palace, you need the emperor's maintenance.

At this moment, Xia Ling'er and Lan Guifei are considered to be concluded.

It seems that in the days to come, Concubine Lan will inevitably fight against this sister-in-law.

I saw that Xia Ling'er's light steps also stopped.

"Concubine Lan is also here!" Xia Ling'er didn't turn around to her, but just looked sideways at her yellow brocade shirt and said disdainfully.

"Lan Guifei Wan'an!" Xia Ling'er bowed her head slightly.

She is a noble princess, and this woman is just the emperor's concubine, just favored, she just needs to give her a bow.

"Blessed is the princess!" Concubine Lan also bowed her head lightly in return.

Even a normal please is full of palace fights!

Xia Ling'er didn't pay much attention to Concubine Lan, took a step forward, and half-knelt to salute the emperor.

"Ling'er greets the imperial brother, I wish the imperial brother the Holy Eucharist good health!" Xia Ling'er's tone was instantly docile and sweet.

Although the emperor saw that Xia Ling'er didn't seem to like Lan Guifei, but seeing Xia Ling'er's well-behaved appearance of asking for peace for herself, he still liked this sister quite a lot in his heart.

"Get up! In the future, you don't have to be so formal. The emperor looked at Xia Ling'er with a warm smile on his face.

Xia Ling'er got up, looked at the emperor, and smiled sweetly, it seems that if she learns a few more words to ask for peace, she will be able to get the royal brother.

Xia Ling'er smiled even more proudly, completely ignoring Concubine Lan.

"Brother Huang, in fact, in addition to saying hello to Brother Huang today, I still have something to tell Brother Huang."

Xia Ling'er deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment between laughter and laughter, and glanced sideways at Concubine Lan in embarrassment.

What she meant was to let the royal brother let her leave quickly, so as to save her from being upset.

Lan Guifei was also very knowledgeable, and she already understood it before Xia Ling'er finished speaking.

"The concubine should also go back to see Xuan'er, so she won't accompany the emperor, and the concubine will retire." Concubine Lan Guifei behaved relaxed and calm, and after speaking, she turned around and went out without waiting for the emperor to speak.

At the moment when she turned around, her eyebrows swept lightly, revealing a coldness, and swept over Xia Ling'er's back.

Although Lan Guifei left, the war in Xia Ling'er's heart was not extinguished, and of course she could hear her disdain for her as much.

only said that he would go back to see Xuan'er, and did not mention her for half a word.

If you are a general person, don't you take the test and say not to disturb the emperor and the princess to talk about things! And I explained it too, and what is she? Show off that she gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and show off how much the emperor needs her company. Or do you want to warn her about something?

In short, this Lan Guifei is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and her voice is the same as her person, seductively seductive. Concubine Lan disdained to leave the Residence Palace, and Xia Ling'er was bowing her head and gritting her teeth in hatred. I only heard the emperor say: "Ling'er...... Ling'er? Xia Ling'er only cared about herself, and suddenly heard the emperor shouting about herself, raised her head suddenly, and instantly raised her smile. Oh, Brother Huang. "I may still feel that I am a little out of shape, my eyes are a little erratic, and I am not as resolute as before." What do you think? The emperor also seemed to vaguely feel her abnormal performance with Concubine Lan today. The tone was not curious, as if he knew something and waited for her to answer and confirm. The corners of Xia Ling'er's mouth rose, she smiled, and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt that I disturbed the imperial brother and Lan Guifei, I was afraid that Lan Guifei would leave, and if I turned around because of Ling'er's ignorance and made a petty relationship with the imperial brother, didn't Ling Erqi become a sinner?" Xia Ling'er spoke, looking at the emperor Although he was a little coquettish, there was still a trace of maturity and calmness in his eyes that did not match his age and identity. In fact, she wanted to test the emperor, how much did he love this woman? In this way, we can know who we are. The emperor laughed disappreciably, and the handsome smiling face of the Ninety-Five Venerable was even more charming. "Defenseless, Concubine Lan is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation." It's still a charming smile. "Sit down! Don't be too restrained in the future. "It's still charming, but the smile has subsided a lot. Xia Ling'er called "Brother Emperor Xie" lightly, and sat down where Lan Guifei left. From the emperor's tone just now, she guessed that in this harem, I am afraid that Concubine Lan is outstanding. "I'm definitely tired in the past two days, why don't you rest for two days, and I'm in a hurry to come over today to say goodbye?" The emperor seemed to be worried about her body's ability to load. I thought that in this era, which weak woman could withstand such a toss, "it is not in the way, and I don't feel very tired." Xia Ling'er said lightly, it seems that Concubine Lan's affairs have been left behind, and she has more important things to tell the emperor. I want Brother Huang to help me find someone. Xia Ling'er went straight to the point, after all, as soon as she entered the door just now, she said that she had something to tell the imperial brother about today. The emperor frowned in surprise when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" "I want to find a palace maid who knows martial arts by my side." Xia Ling'er raised her eyebrows lightly and smiled weirdly. looked straight at the emperor, as if waiting for the emperor's next interrogation, and deliberately threw out a bait. "Why are you looking for a palace maid who knows martial arts?" Sure enough, the emperor was full of curiosity and puzzlement. Naturally, it was not at all different from Xia Ling'er's expectations. "You said that if you don't restrain me with palace rules, I can enter and exit the palace gate freely, and I'm a weak woman, with no power to restrain the chicken, and bring someone who knows martial arts by my side, just in case." She explained it reasonably and thoughtfully. The emperor also seemed to quickly straighten out all the chapters and nodded in agreement. Of course, he didn't think she would have any other intentions. At this time, the emperor locked his eyebrows and pondered, it seemed that he was thinking about this matter directly. "There are quite a lot of good guards in this palace, and it's really inconvenient to take them with you, this palace maid who knows martial arts, I can't think of it for a while. You let me think about it, and I will arrange a competent person for you. "It doesn't seem like an easy thing to do. But the emperor still gave her a reassuring pill first, and the princess's personal safety is the most important. Xia Ling'er got up and thanked the emperor: "Ling'er thanked the imperial brother first. ”…… Xia Ling'er and the emperor talked about the love of brothers and sisters. And Lan Guifei, who was forced to leave, was so angry that her face turned pale, how could she have suffered such a wretchedness, she had always been domineering, but she didn't expect to bow her head and admit defeat in front of Xia Ling'er, a little girl, today. The girl next to her, Lu Fu, didn't dare to say anything all the way, serving Niangniang for so many years, and it was the first time she saw Niangniang being bullied. Naturally, I don't want to set myself on fire. But when the master is angry, it is naturally indispensable to take down people to get angry, and Lan Guifei should be such a master. Returning to her Xiyun Palace, she sat down in the main hall angrily, and the palace maid carefully served tea. No matter how careful she is, she can't quench the anger in her heart. Raising his hand, he knocked over the tea tray in the hand of the palace maid to the ground, and the palace maid slave in a room was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and the one who served the tea even knelt at the feet of Lan Guifei and trembled. Concubine Lan looked out of the hall with angry eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "When you go out in the future, keep an eye on the new princess for me." "The word princess went out as if she had been chewed by Concubine Lan. It seems that she has regarded Xia Ling'er as a thorn in her side. And Xia Ling'er didn't treat her as a thorn in the flesh. It's just that Xia Ling'er is much calmer than her. Xia Ling'er came out of the Yangju Palace, although the emperor had agreed to what she wanted, it could not eliminate her disgust for Lan Guifei. Back in Qinfang Palace, Xia Ling'er also had an angry stinky face, and it was also inevitable to be angry with her subordinates. But Xia Ling'er still kept a cool head, and knew how to solve the problem when she encountered something. Like Concubine Lan, she also came back from outside angrily, walked to the gate of Qinfang Palace, and bowed her head to the palace maids who were waiting for her at the palace gate: "You all let me in." Of course, the tone was extremely bad. The palace maids were all shocked in their hearts, and even Yuechan was startled, she had never seen her young lady so angry. Several palace maids didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly followed the princess into the house. Yuechan also took tea and followed up. The palace maids saw that the princess's face was ugly, and when they entered the door, they knelt on the ground, and before they could speak, they were angrily reprimanded by the princess. "Get up for me, this princess doesn't need useless minions who can only kneel and give salutes, and you don't need to kneel in front of me in the future, just do things well for this princess." The four palace maids immediately got up, and all stood with their heads bowed in a daze, no one dared to speak, and they didn't understand what the princess said about doing things well, and the princess never told them to do anything. "In the future, I have nothing to do to go out and walk around, especially Concubine Lan, keep an eye on her for me, every move, what she has done wherever she goes, keep an eye on me, be smart, don't let Princess Ben let people catch the handle." The anger on Xia Ling'er's face gradually turned into wit and calmness. Now everyone understands what's going on, and it seems that they have been angry with Concubine Lan outside. Yuechan didn't know, but the four palace maids knew that Concubine Lan had always been arrogant and domineering by relying on the emperor's favor. Even the queen didn't pay attention to it. The palace maids replied in unison: "Yes, princess, the slave and maid understand." Xia Ling'er looked at Yuechan standing beside her, and the little girl was probably frightened, with a frightened face. Xia Ling'er reached out and picked up the tea bowl in the tea tray in her hand. Yue Chan came back to his senses at this time, and just now because of the panic, he even forgot to serve tea to the princess. Xia Ling'er drank the tea and put the tea bowl on the small table. glanced at the four palace maids who stood down. said: "Tell me everything you know about Concubine Lan, word for word." Xia Ling'er adjusted her sitting posture, leaned lightly on the backrest, and put one hand on the low table to support her cheek, she must know that there will be a lot of things about Lan Guifei. You have to have a comfortable posture to listen well.

The palace maid who once made Xia Ling'er feel clever spoke first. "At that time, the emperor was still a prince, and there was only a princess and a concubine by his side. Because the emperor ...... at that time, Xia Ling'er saw that the palace goddess was a little flustered, and she was afraid that she was talking about something taboo. "What is good, what is not good, what can be said, and what cannot be said, you will tell me the truth word by word." Xia Ling'er said. It is important that she listens to the truth. The palace maid replied yes and continued. "Actually, it's something that everyone knows, the emperor didn't seem to be favored at that time......" Xia Ling'er heard the palace maid say this, and she understood that it didn't seem to be unfavored, it must be unfavored, not only began to be curious, how did an unfavored prince become an emperor? And I heard that the former emperor had another crown prince. "The princess at that time was the current queen, she was only the daughter of a minor official under Dali Temple, and gave birth to two daughters in a row, which is now the eldest princess and the second princess, now one is 11 years old and one is 9 years old, and later the emperor accepted another concubine, and she gave birth to a daughter, which is now the third princess, and now she is 8 years old...... "What's wrong with the daughter?" Xia Ling'er rolled her eyes when she heard this, and her stomach was on fire, she used to be disliked by her parents at home because she was a daughter. Xia Ling'er endured this breath, she must have listened to what she should understand. Later, the emperor gave the emperor a marriage, and married the current Lan Guifei, she was originally the daughter of Kuching Nan, the secretary of the military department, named Gu Xuanyu...... "No wonder she is so arrogant, it turns out that she has a good father!" With heavy troops in hand, the royal brother will treat her well for the sake of her father's face. The palace maid said, Xia Ling'er thought and analyzed, but she didn't know that as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he removed the post of secretary of the Kuching Southern Military Department. "She married into the palace as a side concubine. In the second year, she gave birth to the eldest prince Xia Wenrui, who is now six years old, and since then, she has been more favored, and after another two years, she gave birth to the second prince Xia Wenxuan, who is now four years old. After the emperor ascended the throne last year, he directly named her Concubine Lan. "With two princes in hand, it's really hard to deal with! What's more, now that the royal brother spoils her so much, maybe one day she will be made the crown prince. Xia Ling'er couldn't help but feel worried. "Now by the emperor's side, who else has a position?" Xia Ling'er then asked. "There is also the mother of the third prince, Concubine Jing, although she is a concubine, she is not favored, and the mother of the third princess is just a nobleman. These are the only ones who have children, and there is nothing else to do. With Concubine Lan here, there are no more favored people. "It's that little slut again. Xia Ling'er scolded directly in her heart. "Isn't there anyone to love around the emperor?" Xia Ling'er asked inexplicably. "What did the princess say? Isn't the lovely person next to the emperor now Lan Guifei! "Yes! Xia Ling'er sneered self-deprecatingly, and also felt that her words were ridiculous, could it be that she still wanted to find a lovely person for the emperor, and then bring down Lan Guifei? I'm afraid it's a fantasy. It seems that I really can't confront her head-on in the future, it's a small matter to hurt her, and if I make the royal brother unhappy, then I won't be in trouble. Let's take it slowly and see! "What's your name?" Xia Ling'er looked at the clever palace maid and asked. "Back to the princess, the slave maid is called Yixiang." "Where did you use to be on an errand?" Such a smart and clever girl, and knows so many things, of course, you have to ask the details clearly, so that you can rest assured. "Back to the princess, the four of us are all serving in the imperial study, and the emperor is afraid that it will not be good for the princess to arrange for newcomers to serve the princess, so he asked the internal affairs office to send newcomers to the imperial study, and let the four of us come over to serve the princess." It turned out to be someone close to the emperor, and she suddenly felt that the emperor was not bad to her, at least it didn't make her feel patriarchal, but there was a lot of superiority. "Tomorrow, you come with me to the Jiaofang Hall and ask the queen for peace." Xia Ling'er looked at Yixiang and said coldly. She's going to meet this group of women. Yue Chan, who was standing on the side, heard this, and seemed to be displeased, she had grown up with Miss since she was a child, how did she enter the palace, Miss ignored her existence more and more, and now she didn't even take a newcomer when she went out, and she was inevitably disappointed. "Princess, why don't you take Yuezen, the slave and maid have been serving the princess since childhood, can you still serve the princess well." Yue Chan looked aggrieved, and she was about to cry. Xia Ling'er turned her head to look at her, and when she saw her eyes filled with tears, she felt a trace of displeasure in her heart, and she hated girls crying the most. But when I think of the reason why I grew up together, I don't want to be too embarrassed for her. Instead, he said earnestly: "Yuezen, why don't I take you there?" It's because you're too weak, I'll take you out, in case I'm being bullied, you won't just cry. "Yue Chan seems to agree with the princess's words, thinking that if the princess goes out alone today, she must be bullied by Concubine Nalan." The princess went out and brought two more people. Yue Chan's words reminded Xia Ling'er. She looked at Yixiang and asked, "Can you bring two people with you to ask the queen for peace?" Yixiang replied: "I have always brought only one personal palace maid by my side. Xia Ling'er seemed to smile proudly. If the answer she heard was that she could bring two people to serve by her side, she might take Yixiang alone, since she was only allowed to bring one person, then she would take two people into this Jiaofang Palace.

The next day, Xia Ling'er did not go to the Jiaofang Hall early, but asked people to keep an eye on Concubine Lan, she went to the direction of the Jiaofang Hall first. And I brought Yixiang and Yuezen together. When I arrived at the door of the Jiaofang Palace, I also went in directly with pride. Xia Ling'er entered the main hall, the queen and Concubine Lan, and other people she didn't know were quite surprised, it wasn't that she brought two people with her, it must not be a princess who grew up in the palace, and the queen wouldn't care about her about this. And no one thought that she would come here to ask the queen for peace, it is said that she is the princess of the former emperor, in fact, she can not be used to ask for peace. "Ling'er greets the queen mother! Blessed mother! Xia Ling'er bowed her head. Blessed is the princess! Sit! The queen replied politely. Xia Ling'er walked forward to the queen and stood beside Concubine Lan. Of course, she knew the seating order of the ladies and sisters, and although she understood that Concubine Lan was not easy to provoke, her heart wanted her to sit in front of her. It's just to be angry for everyone here, and being idle is also idle. The palace maid in the queen's palace would also observe the words and looks, and directly placed the chair behind Xia Ling'er. Xia Ling'er sat down, smiled sideways at Lan Guifei, and said, "Lan Guifei Wan'an!" "Laughing weirdly and mockingly. Lan Guifei also knew in her heart that this princess was not easy to mess with, so she glanced at her and replied lightly: "Blessed princess!" "Take a sip of tea. Yesterday, Xia Ling'er entered the Yangju Hall with her front foot, and Lan Guifei walked out of the Yangju Hall with her back foot, I'm afraid that whoever has a heart has already spread it. I am afraid that everyone here knows the expressions of everyone here, I'm afraid they are all waiting to see a good show at this time! Xia Ling'er is calm, but Concubine Lan is an arrogant person. "The princess is really a noble person, and this person seems to be a bad servant of the princess." It seems that this Lan Guifei is really focused on Xia Ling'er, and even what she said is cynical. Xia Ling'er took a sip of the tea handed by the palace people, sneered, and seemed to be aware of Lan Guifei's reaction. It's just that the queen opened her mouth first. "When the princess first enters the palace, it is inevitable that she will not be used to it, and she will not be adaptable, so she should bring more caring people by her side." The queen said with a light smile. Looking up, although she is a queen, her clothes are not luxurious, her face is more plain and pure, her temperament is also elegant and luxurious, and she is more dignified and dignified. "Will the queen think that Ling Er is too delicate?" Xia Ling'er smiled with shining black eyes, revealing a bit of playfulness. "Of course not. It is also a blessing for the palace to have a caring maid by the princess's side, and the palace is a matter of the harem, if the palace people serve the princess, it is not the responsibility of the palace, and the emperor will inevitably blame it! "That's a well-informed person! Xia Ling'er listened to the queen's words, and the smile on her face seemed to be very satisfied and proud. She didn't think deeply about whether her words were genuinely said to her, or whether they had an extraneous meaning to some people. In short, the queen is not hostile to her. As for the other women in front of them, they are not favored, and I am afraid they dare not covet her. It seems that only Lan Guifei is the only one who has this qualification and this courage. The queen is a generous and benevolent person, and the emperor's displeasure is not that the emperor doesn't like it, but men are sometimes visual animals, and they will inevitably be confused by their youth and beauty, not to mention that Concubine Lan is still a charming woman. Concubine Lan seemed to disdain the queen's "flattery" to Xia Ling'er, and sneered. Everyone was waiting for what she had to say. "The queen's mother is really virtuous in the world, but, how can this only be virtuous to the princess, so many sisters in the palace, every time they come back to ask the mother to say goodbye, I haven't seen the mother care about anyone, the palace people can serve well?" Concubine Lan has never taken anyone seriously, I'm afraid that except for the emperor, no one else will be able to get her good face. The same is true for the Queen. The queen's face looked a little helpless, presumably she was usually polite to her. Looking at the others, they all bowed their heads and were silent, and some of them were restless, quite like waiting to see a good show. This time, it's time for Xia Ling'er to relieve the queen's mother. "The concubine is really joking, if the palace people don't serve well, it must be the master's virtue, you are all favored by the emperor's women, and the queen will naturally not doubt your character. As for the concubine Niangniang, who doesn't know your position in my imperial brother's heart, the palace people are eager to be the people in your palace, who doesn't want to live and dare to serve the concubine Niangniang well! Xia Ling'er pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and said it loudly, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Concubine Lan. She is not stupid, so she can naturally hear that Xia Ling'er is scolding her for her lack of morality. With her arrogant temper, how could she swallow this breath. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw the palace maid come forward to speak. "Qi Yu Niangniang, someone from the princess's palace said that there is an urgent matter to find the princess." "Let her in." The queen commanded. The palace maid went out in response. Concubine Lan swallowed the unspoken words for the time being, but this evil breath could not be swallowed. I only heard her snort coldly: "Another one?" The princess is really hugging each other! Xia Ling'er ignored Concubine Lan, as if she was waiting for the palace maid to come in, anxious to find out what the hell was going on. Princess, the emperor has sent a message to let the princess go to the martial arts training ground. Accompany the emperor to ride horses and shoot arrows. Xia Ling'er listened with a bright smile on her face. Then he looked at the queen and said: "I mentioned to the imperial brother last time, Ling Er doesn't like to live in the boudoir, but prefers to ride a horse and shoot arrows, I don't want the imperial brother to really take it to heart, then Ling Er will go over first, and I can't let the imperial brother wait for a long time." After speaking, he got up and saluted the queen, passed Concubine Lan and turned to go out. Everyone knows that the emperor used to take Concubine Lan to the martial arts training ground, but this time I am afraid it is an exception, otherwise she would not have come to greet the queen! At this moment, Lan Guifei was so angry that her facial features were distorted, and she was holding the tea bowl tightly with one hand, and she was about to burst, and everyone didn't dare to look at her. It's the first time I've eaten such a big deflated, and it's still in front of so many people. Of course, this result is exactly what Xia Ling'er wants, and she planned it single-handedly. Yesterday evening, the emperor did send someone to send a message. "Tomorrow morning, the emperor will invite the princess to the martial arts training ground and go to the horseback riding and archery together." Everyone else knew that the emperor often brought Concubine Lan to accompany her, and she naturally learned that of course she was the most reluctant to meet her in front of the imperial brother, so she asked the person who came to report to the emperor to send a message. "You tell the emperor that if Concubine Lan Guifei also goes with her tomorrow, then I won't go, I don't want to disturb the affection between the two of them. It's better for me to go alone one day. That's why Xia Ling'er has today's martial arts and triumphant!
