Ji Qinglan has already released her suspicions with Concubine Ji, and today she is like half a master, she greeted Haitang and sat down next to Murong Yan.

Qinglan looked at Haitang and said with a malicious smile: "In two months, Miss Cheng will also marry Duanwang, right?" According to the usual practice, King Duan should choose a few more side concubines and wives to follow Princess Duan into the mansion. The concubine Niangniang said, in this case, it is better to choose the main concubines and side concubines of King Kang and King Cheng together. ”

Although several girls guessed Ji Guifei's intentions, they couldn't help but be secretly happy when they heard Ji Qinglan say it like this. No matter which prince's concubine or concubine, she can bring benefits to the family. What's more, these princes are all dignified and extraordinary, and they are the spring boudoirs of these noble girls.

Haitang was shocked, she had already guessed Ji Guifei's intentions.

The maiden family behind these girls are all from the Ji family, and at the moment of establishing the prince, putting these girls by the side of King Duan, King Kang, and King Cheng is naturally Sima Zhao's heart. But the queen doesn't care about anything, the harem is headed by Concubine Ji, and no one can object to it.

I only heard Chen Jingyan take the lead and said: "Niangniang has this intention, and the courtiers are overjoyed, it all depends on the arrangement of the concubine!" Chen Jingyan saw Ji Qinglan choose left and right, and finally obeyed Ji Guifei and followed the king. And how many choices can you have? It's better to make a statement earlier, and if you get the blue eyes of the concubine, you can still point to a good position.

Sure enough, Concubine Ji nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the palace can help him think about these family matters." This year, even King Cheng is sixteen years old, and among the four princes, only King Xian became a parent, which is also unreasonable. They are not in a hurry, and this palace can't help but think about them. Since King Duan got the emperor's finger to marry, he took advantage of the festivities to pick a few more, and asked the emperor to point out together.

You have all your names one by one, and this palace is familiar with them, but some of them are not right. I asked you to come to taste tea today, and by the way, I am also familiar with my face. You don't have to be restrained, maybe in the future, you will still be a wife and concubine who work together, or you will become a concubine, and you will be a family. ”

With Ji Guifei's encouragement, the girls also became bold, and they greeted each other and whispered to each other. They seemed to be very satisfied with such an undisguised meeting, and thought that it was much better than blind marriage. Cheng Haitang grew up in Yueling since he was a child, and he has not been instilled by the family mission of these noble girls, so he is a little unworthy of them: what family interests? Isn't it worth living for a girl?

Although there was no handkerchief to say considerately, Begonia also stood up and walked around with everyone, and walked to the porch outside the pavilion to stand and watch the scenery blowing. I saw a little Taoist priest walking over with a tray, Begonia's nose was very smart, and she smelled a smell of blood.

It just so happened that a little girl came out of the Red Feather Pavilion with an empty teapot, and when the three of them passed shoulders, Begonia took the opportunity to pretend to be careless and squeezed the little girl, the little girl was unstable, and touched the tray of the little Taoist, the wooden box on the tray fell to the ground, and a black pill the size of a partridge egg rolled out. The little Taoist priest was shocked.

Haitang quickly picked it up for him, took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the ashes on the pill, handed it to the little Taoist priest and said, "No one sees it, the three of us don't say it, won't you just get mixed up?" The little girl and the little Taoist priest saw that they were in trouble, and the noble girl covered them up, and they both nodded gratefully.

The little Taoist priest hurriedly put the pill into the box, looked at it, and walked into the Red Feather Pavilion at a faster pace.

Haitang followed to the door to take a look, and it was indeed Ji Guifei's medicine. I saw that she took the pill, and she didn't hesitate, put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and hurriedly handed over a glass of milk to let the concubine rinse her mouth.

Haitang heard Ji Guifei say to the little Taoist: "Today's pill tastes much better, tell your master, do it like this in the future, and you will be rewarded for doing it well!" With a smile, he stuffed a silver horn into the little Taoist.

The little Taoist priest was happy when he saw that there was still a silver horn for today's medicine, and he quickly nodded yes, and the chief priest retreated with the empty box.

Haitang sat back in her seat, with a faint smile on her face, and just concentrated on drinking tea. In her sleeve pocket, she was holding the blood-smelling pill. Coincidentally, this pill is about the same size as a black sesame honey pill, before entering the palace, Ji'er saw that she didn't use much for breakfast, so she wrapped a few pills and put them on her to make snacks, which just came in handy.

Looking at the ladies around her, Haitang was full of sorrow in her heart, she was not only for herself, but also Xie Ruijiao, who was ready to fly, and felt sorry that he would be held hostage by the backyard in the future. Haitang remembered what Concubine Xu said just now, "The front is facing the harem, and the anger seeks each other", and she felt that she had already empathized with her before marrying into the palace at this moment.

I saw Pei Zhixin holding a cup of tea made by the tea lady, came over and handed it to Begonia, and said with a shy smile: "Miss Cheng, I have heard of a big name for a long time, and I have never been close to you." If there is a fate, please take care of the girl. ”

Haitang smiled noncommittally, but she understood the meaning of her words in her heart: This Pei Da girl must be the girl that Ji Guifei wanted to point out to King Duan as a side concubine...... People look pretty good, but I don't know if it's good to get along with......

I only heard Concubine Ji on the main seat ask Quanfu: "Have several princes come?" "When the girls hear it, the princes are coming? This is a rare opportunity to meet! Quickly retract your voice and put on a beautiful appearance, you can't leave a bad impression on the prince, if you can be favored by the prince himself, it will be better.

Quan Fu bowed down: "The princes have already arrived outside the palace." Before the words fell, I saw King Kang take the lead and strode in.

As soon as King Kang saw this red and willow green posture, he knew that it was Concubine Ji who was demonstrating to several of them: she won the crown prince, but she couldn't break free from the crown princess she arranged...... King Kang sneered in his heart, thinking, is this Concubine Ji old? would threaten him with such a ridiculous means, no matter which woman he entered his door, and was not at his mercy?

King Cheng only felt shocked when he saw it, he knew that the power of the Ji family was so wide, and Concubine Ji's move was just beating him, and the battle between the princes made him retreat...... Why bother! His backyard doesn't want to be as dirty as a harem.

King Duan was the last to come in, and he saw Cheng Haitang sitting on the side with a bitter face and cheeks at a glance, holding back the anger in his heart, stepped forward to salute Ji Guifei, and said coldly: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor has already pointed out the marriage to this king, and this king is only willing to be a pair with Princess Duan, if Niangniang has to carry people to this king's mansion, don't blame this king for not saving face and killing him on the spot!" ”

With that, he turned around and walked over to Begonia, took her hand, and walked out of the Red Feather Pavilion without looking back.

Concubine Ji didn't expect King Duan to be so tough, and said with an embarrassed smile: "This King Duan has killed people on the battlefield, so it's no wonder he is so rude." You don't have to pay attention to it, he is just in front of the future princess, and he has a hard mouth for a while, and in the future, he will not have three wives and four concubines? All men in the world are the same......"

Pei Zhixuan and Ye Jingjing, who were sitting next to them, were scared into a cold sweat: Fortunately, I came here today, if I didn't know that King Duan had such an attitude, when I was carried over by Huan Huanxi, I wouldn't die at the gate of King Duan's mansion? The two of them had already gotten the words of the elders in the family, saying that King Duan would not come out, and although marrying him would not be crowned to the throne, at least he would be glorious for a lifetime. At the moment, it seems that this end of the palace cannot be gone anyway.

Out of the palace, Begonia and Xie Ruijiao rode together, Xie Ruijiao wrapped one hand around Begonia's waist, lowered his head and kissed Begonia's hair, and couldn't help sighing: "Today is your birthday, but I taught you to go to the pickled place to suffer from her nest." You just remember that I only need you in this world, and I won't let any messy people come and pollute our eyes for no reason. ”

Haitang leaned on Xie Ruijiao's arms and smiled: It seems that someone is so lawless and petted, it seems to be good!

Thinking about it, she took out the pill from her sleeve pocket, put it on her nose and sniffed it, and then handed it to Xie Ruijiao's nose: "You smell it." ”

"What's that? A smell of blood! Xie Ruijiao frowned and asked, he was a little familiar with this smell.

Haitang put the pill back into his sleeve pocket as it was, and said, "I stole it from Concubine Ji." I'll wait until I go back and check it out to find out what it is. ”

Xie Ruijiao smiled dumbly: "Our husband and wife, a robber and a thief, are really a perfect match!" ”

The horse carried the two along the eastern suburbs road, walking unhurriedly, and they could already see the Zhuangzi with smoke from a distance. In the open space outside Zhuangzi, there was a faint sound of Ling Feng and Ji'er talking and laughing.

Xie Ruizhu and Cheng Haitang looked at it together, the fields were thriving, colorful, and the wind of late spring carried the flying flotsam in the sky, spreading joy in the golden sunshine, like a dream, poetic and picturesque.
