In the past, in Yangcheng, Ji Erlan and the two brothers Qin and Ji Yun were crowded in the West Courtyard, and they were all served by Ah Tan alone, with no merit and hard work. What's more, Ji Erlan and her still have the fate of their previous lives. In any case, she wants to ensure that Atan's life is safe and smooth.

"I'll give you two paths. One, I will give you enough silver taels for the second half of your life to make a living for you, and you will marry and have children by yourself. From now on, he is no longer someone else's slave. On the other hand, you can't stay in the house, I'll arrange another place for you to go, but I'll still do things. ”

Ah Tan did not hesitate and said: "Ah Tan is willing to stay by the second girl's side and do things for the second girl!" ”

Ji Erlan looked at her silently for a long time, nodded and said, "You get up." ”

Ah Tan thanked him, and bowed three times before getting up. Ji Erlan said: "Today, you go back first, tomorrow I will change my tone and let someone talk to A-Niang, and then arrange for you to leave the house." ”

"Yes, Atan retired first."

When Ji Erlan saw her go out, she silently grabbed the quilt and lay down, drowning herself in the warmth. Twilight extinguished the candle and retreated to the outer vigil, but when she heard the people inside turning back and forth, Twilight sighed in her heart, why couldn't the wife understand how embarrassed the girl was?

……

Before dawn on the second day, Yan Shicheng stared at the two black circles and walked to the door of the burned mansion in Tongjifang. This house is recorded in the name of a steward, and few people know that he is doing things for himself, let alone touching this house. Hearing that Hong Yan hadn't left Tongxian Pavilion at all yesterday, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if Cui Shi commits suicide, the important thing is not to let her die in her own hands, and she can't let Hong Yan know. Otherwise, Qinghe Cui's side would definitely come to explain to him, and Hong Yan didn't know what was going wrong. He walked into the scattered courtyard and asked the steward beside him, "Have you identified the corpse?" Is there anything wrong? ”

The steward said: "The villain has roughly identified it first, but if you want to confirm it specifically, you have to let someone come over and take a closer look." ”

Yan Shicheng had a calm face and said: "We must deal with this matter as soon as possible, it is almost the time of the last dynasty, I can't stay here for a long time, you stay and deal with this matter." Don't forget that there is a palace banquet tonight, and there should be no omissions in the arrangements that should be made. ”

"Yes, Xiangye."

In the Ruiying Hall of Da'an Palace, Song Yuheng was holding a golden silk ruyi cake in his hand, and he only felt that it was difficult to swallow. The female officials waiting in the hall felt the depressing atmosphere, trembling and not daring to say anything. Only the most powerful palace maid beside her, Hanzhang, comforted softly: "Niangniang, I'm afraid that tonight's night banquet will take a long time, and you won't be able to eat anything, you will definitely have to pad your stomach, otherwise it will be difficult to survive." ”

"How can I eat it?" Song Yuheng has been angry with her since she was a child, even if Song Yaoxian is her own sister and the second daughter of the Song Mansion, she doesn't dare to take any of her liking. What's going on now? Is God kidding her? "Did they send me to the palace to see me being abused? If I hadn't run into her gagging today, I wouldn't have known she was pregnant with a dragon! ”

Han Zhang made a look, the palace people went out, and only the master and servant were left in the inner hall.

"Niangniang, Concubine Rou Niangniang may not be deliberately concealed, people say that it is easy to say it when the fetus is in March, otherwise it will be bad for the mother and child."

"Hmph, this is just for prevarication, do you believe it?" Song Yuheng's eyes were swollen like walnuts, which was probably a few grievances she had since she was a child. "From the time I entered the palace to the present, the emperor only had a round room with me on that day, and he never came to me again, but stayed in the Hongxian Palace for three days and two ends......

This is simply a naked humiliation for her!

"Niangniang holds a lot of youth in her hands, and her body is not bad since she was a child, and when the emperor comes, Niangniang will definitely be able to conceive soon. As for Concubine Rou, whether it is talent or identity, she can't get past you, the emperor just likes it for a while, go to see her a few more times, and after a long time, it will be boring. ”

Hanzhang is a close person to Song Yuheng, and there are some things that only she dares to say. She took a handkerchief to wipe Song Yuheng's tears, and said: "Niang Niang is beautiful and wise, and her talent is even stronger than many men, and she is much stronger than those women who are useless. After a long time, this benefit will be revealed, and the emperor will definitely turn back to Niangniang's side, and treat you as a virtuous helper to love, why do you want to fight for this moment and use your own body to fight? ”

"Even if it's for a while, I can't let it go, people are not as good as heaven, if there is a case, won't you regret it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Whether she has the intention of arguing with me or not, I can't be soft-hearted, and I can't keep the trouble! It's just the past, but now that I've entered the palace, I will never allow anyone to conceive a dragon before me! Song Yuheng clenched his palms tightly and said fiercely: "She is still young at this time, and there are ways to make her abortive, so it is best to hurt her body, and she will not be able to conceive in the future." In this way, she can be my help with peace of mind, and never think about those non-partisans! ”

Hanzhang's pupils twitched, and he asked, "What is the best way for Niangniang to do it without people noticing?" ”

"It's better to borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of two in one fell swoop." The more Song Yuheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was not too late, and said: "There are a lot of people tonight, and it's normal for people to make a mess." Moreover, she has not told the emperor that she has a body, and the emperor ordered me to organize this night banquet with her, if she accidentally loses the fetus, there will be. ”

Hanzhang nodded and said, "The slave will act when he meets the opportunity." ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Ji Erlan's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw that many acquaintances had arrived. Cheng Xiaoxiao hadn't seen her for a long time, she was more than a little steady, stepped forward and held her hand affectionately, and she didn't jump three feet high like before: "Er Lan, you're here!" ”

Ji Erlan saluted Mrs. Cheng beside her first. Last time about Cheng's house, Ji Erlan reminded Mrs. Cheng, and now Mrs. Cheng is also very polite to Ji Erlan. "Erlan is getting more and more out, is the family okay?"

"Mrs. Lao remembers, everything is fine at home." Mrs. Cheng smiled and nodded, letting the two little sisters talk freely, and she took the first step forward to talk to the other female dependents. Ji Erlan said to Cheng Xiaoxiao: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are a lot more stable." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked sad and said, "It's hard to say. People say that they grow up overnight, and I have a thorough understanding of it. In the past, I was ignorant, and my mother was not at peace. My mother was dedicated to me and put all her thoughts on me, but it was I who dragged her down and let the villain take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Ji Erlan squeezed her hand and said, "It's not too late for you to know now, fortunately, bad things haven't really happened, and everything can have room to turn around, this is the luck in misfortune." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Er Lan, thanks to you, otherwise, I would have let that rat poop stir up a pot of soup!" ”

Mrs. Cheng is from a big family, so she is naturally not easy to fool. What Cheng Shaozhang and some people did, if they were intentional about it, they would naturally be able to find out clearly. Ji Erlan said: "Okay, there are many people here, so it's better to talk less." Qingxue is sick at home, she can't come today, let's make an appointment to go to Fangfu to see her in two days. ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao said happily: "Well, I'm waiting for you to be free, you're much busier than me!" ”

There was no queen in the palace, and the new concubines and concubines who had just entered the palace took on the important task of managing the night banquet and were particularly attentive. Because of the emphasis on the banquet of the nouveau riche in the court, the layout of the four places is not only ingenious, but also very elegant and exquisite, and it is very appetizing to the literati.

The glow faded, and everyone gathered in the Yuntai Hall of Da'an Palace one after another. Today's moon came out very early, and half of his face was already revealed before it was dark, hanging thin on the edge of the sky, crystal clear. Reflecting the glazed palace lamps hanging on the cloister of the courtyard in the palace and the tulle blowing in the hall, it is so beautiful that people can't help but linger.

The house is full of splendid women, and the spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemums have their own strengths, and the clusters of flowers are blooming, and the courtyard is full of fragrance. But among all the people, only two are the most eye-catching. One is Yanhua Zhuozhuo, the most sought after and emulated daughter of heaven in Beijing, the current Jade Concubine, and the future Empress Song Yuheng. One is the most unruly and unruly in Beijing, the most unruly in Beijing, the most unbound by etiquette and religion, and the most jealous and disgusted by noble women, Ji Erlan.

As soon as these two people appear, they will attract most attention. But the treatment is very different. Song Yuheng needless to say, from childhood to adulthood, the stars have held the moon. And the reason why Ji Erlan is regarded as a flood beast by the nobles in Beijing is because she has been marked with many shameless and even resentful marks such as touching the corpse, killing people without blinking, seducing the extradition king, and so on.

Being hostile to her, but not daring to offend her, makes her extremely hateful.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the eyes of some people and said disdainfully: "These people just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour!" We live freely, they are all jealous! ”

Ji Erlan squinted and smiled, looked at Song Yuheng at the top, and saw that she was wearing a vermilion brocade dress with ruyi cloud patterns, her skin was snow-white, and her eyebrows were picturesque. It is both serious and lively. And Song Yaoxian beside her is wearing a light blue palace skirt, although she is also gorgeous and splendid, but standing next to Song Yuheng, it is like a background, not eye-catching at all.

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw it and said: "The jade concubine's body is vermilion, but it is powerful. ”

Only the queen in the palace can wear red, and Song Yuheng is wearing this outfit, although there is no trespassing, but it is also explaining to everyone that she is the future hostess of this Da'an Palace.

Ji Erlan smiled silently and looked out of the screen.

Yuntai Hall is a permanent place for banquets in the palace, and everything is available. Men and women are seated separately, with screens carved with auspicious patterns in the middle, and a layer of cicada wing yarn hanging from them, which is enough to make people see the general outline.

Ji Erlan looked at the flowers in the fog, and saw Hong Yan surrounded by everyone at a glance, that kind of outstanding, which had already surpassed all the beautiful yearning for men in women's hearts. She looked away with a cold face and looked at the door, just as she saw Yang Zhen, the king of the crossing, slowly stepping into the hall.

Yang Wei was dressed in a dark robe, which made him have a noble temperament and a detached demeanor. The usual cold complexion on his face is unapproachable. But he was born with an attraction and oppressive power beyond ordinary people, whether it is his face or aura, he can always press others down, even the peerless Hong Yan is not immune.
