In a blink of an eye, it was August 14, that night the emperor feasted the royal family in the Xunhua Palace, although the first emperor said that he had twelve sons, but at this time there were few who stayed in the capital.

The eldest son came from a humble background, but he intended to murder the prince, and after the defeat, he was demoted to a commoner by the first emperor.

The second son was the deposed prince, who was deposed to death due to the witch Gu case.

The third son, King Ping, is a good woman, with a fief in Bashu, indulging in lust all day long, and is a prince with no real power.

The fourth son, King Yu, is now the new emperor Xichen.

The sixth son of the Qing King, named Xiqing, is the son of the first emperor's concubine, when the first emperor and concubine were still there, he was very favored, but later his mother died, although the first emperor was very loved, but has developed a dissolute and uninhibited temperament, now the mountains and rivers, in addition to the wandering wreckage, the first emperor will return to Beijing to ask for peace, and now the first emperor is gone, and there is no news of him at all.

Eight kings Chu Xijin, the son of the first emperor Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou was sent to the cold palace on suspicion of slandering the case of the abolished prince witch Gu, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne and died, and the eight kings became monks.

Because of his weak health, the nine kings never left the palace to build a mansion, and now they still live in the palace of the concubines.

The ten kings Chu Xiwu, who was named the loyal king, are the old ten who are about to get married.

The twelve kings Chu Xi Dynasty, the biological mother Concubine Hui, was the youngest son of the first emperor, but unfortunately he still missed the throne.

In addition to these, the other fifth, seventh and eleventh children all died early, so the only people who could stay in the palace to attend the dinner party were the nine kings, the tenth and the twelfth.

It's just that the nine kings were too weak, so they just sat for a while and then got up and asked to retreat, and Xichen asked Shen Wan to send him, and Shen Wan had to send him off with a lantern in front, but there was nothing to say all the way.

Since Xi Chao told himself about the matter between the Nine Kings and Li Xiuhe, and when he saw the Nine Kings again, he always felt uncomfortable, although among the nobles, those gentlemen would also raise a few prostitutes in the outer courtyard to defeat the fire, but ...... After all, they are friends who grew up together, and suddenly they learned that he was a good man, and they really couldn't accept it.

When she arrived outside the concubine's palace, Shen Wan was just about to go back, but the Nine Kings said, "Ah Wan, you don't seem to be happy tonight!" ”

Shen Wan hurriedly concealed her smile and said, "It's nothing!" ”

The moon in the sky was bright, the palace lights were bright, and the nine kings clearly saw the panic on her face, and immediately understood a little, so they didn't make a sound.

Shen Wan only felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and said softly: "Then, Brother Jiu, you rest early, I'll go back first!" ”

She hurriedly saluted and walked past him with her head bowed, but heard him murmur, "I hope you don't look down on me......"

Shen Wan was stunned and blurted out: "How come!" ”

The Nine Kings smiled, but it was extremely bitter, he waved his hand, seemed to be a little out of breath, and said, "You go back!" I'm in too! ”

Shen Wan was not in a hurry to leave, looked at his pale face, and asked hesitantly: "That time to help fulfill the lie, was it because of my request, or because the matter involved him!" ”

The Nine Kings didn't think too much, and said slowly: "It's because of your request, and it's because of him!" ”

Shen Wan sighed: "Then, the ninth brother is still my ninth brother, I won't look down on you because of this!" ”

The Nine Kings wanted to smile gratefully at her, but she quickly left with the lantern.

At this time, the concubine walked out, looked at the figure, and asked, "Is it Ah Wan?" ”

Nine Kings said: "Yes! ”

The concubine was silent for a moment, and then said, "She is a good girl!" ”

The Nine Kings smiled bitterly and said, "I know! ”

The concubine didn't speak again, but helped the nine kings and walked in slowly.

The fourteenth dinner passed peacefully, and the concubines were carefully preparing for the fifteenth night to stand out, and some of the concubines who had not seen the emperor's golden face for a month began to dress up almost from the morning, hoping that their ingenious and well-behaved outfits could leave a deep and beautiful impression on the emperor.

And these Shen Wan don't have to care, she just needs to wear court clothes and quietly follow behind Xichen, sometimes watching those women compete for beauty, I really feel tired for them.

At night, the full moon as big as a disc hangs in the sky, there is no cloud around, only a bright jade plate in the dark night, sprinkled with clear light like mercury pouring on the ground, only the whole palace is illuminated, and the lantern of the big palace is hung up, more like day.

Shen Wan entered the hall with the dust, low eyebrows, holding a red sandalwood inlaid jade three inlaid Ruyi, that Ruyi, the head, body, tail inlaid with jade and jade tiles, the center of the first jade of Ruyi is inlaid with a night pearl from Haidong, the bead diameter is circumferred, the grain is large and crystalline, dotted between the two claws, combined with two dragons playing with bead ornamentation, dazzling.

Sitting down, the concubines got up, Shen Wan noticed that the leader was Concubine Qing and Concubine Pei, Concubine Qing was wearing an apricot yellow palace dress today, the neckline and cuffs were densely embroidered, and there were thousands of pearls, which was extremely luxurious and dazzling, and Concubine Pei wore a palace dress covered with red cloud brocade covered with smoke and single yarn, which also looked magnificent.

Shen Wan couldn't help but sneer slightly on her lips, the hearts of these two people are clearly revealed, and even dressing up is no longer taboo, according to the palace rules, only the queen can wear yellow, red, and the first concubine can only wear partial colors, such as apricot yellow, begonia red, smoky color, etc., Concubine Qing and Concubine Pei are just second-grade concubines, and today these two people coincidentally wear crimson and apricot yellow, which shows that their minds have already been eyeing the long-pending posterior.

Xichen raised his hand slightly, and everyone also sat down, their eyes swept around, but Xichen frowned and said, "Why is Concubine Rong not here!" ”

Everyone's faces were stunned, beauties gathered, flowers were clustered, and each woman was dressed in splendor, beads and emerald ayaluo, but the emperor ignored the many smiling faces, and only paid attention to his Rong Concubine, and Rong Concubine did not seem to attend.

Shen Wan also frowned and looked over, but sure enough, she didn't see Xianya.

At this time, Pang Guiren got up and came out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "The emperor is merciful, the concubine and Yang Chang, who lives in the same palace, were originally waiting for Sister Rong Concubine to come together, but when she went, Sister Rong Concubine suddenly became dizzy and unstable under her feet, so she had to rest in the palace, and she failed to come, and I hope that the emperor will forgive her sins!" ”

Xue Ling also knelt down and said, "Yes, Sister Xianya thinks she has committed an old illness, and please don't blame the emperor!" ”

Xichen said: "Since Concubine Rong is ill, I naturally won't blame her, but I have asked the imperial doctor to take a look!" ”

Xue Ling hurriedly said: "Yes, when the concubine came out, the palace people of Jingyi Palace had already gone to the Tai Hospital to invite her!" ”

Xichen nodded and said, "That's good, you guys should return to their seats!" ”

After the two thanked each other and returned to their seats, Shen Wan was still a little uneasy, Xianya's illness had already healed, how could she do it again? She looked at the painting, and the painting nodded at her slightly, since the painting felt that it was okay, then Sister Xianya should be fine! Now I can only wait until the dinner is over to see her.

Little Pebble sang: "Play music!" ”

The sound of silk and bamboo started, and two columns of colorful dancers came out from both sides, and began to dance with the beautiful music.

The dancing was graceful, the music was moving, everyone listened attentively, their eyes lingered, but the dust was pale, he had never been very interested in it, just raised a glass and drank it.

At the end of the song, after the dance, everyone praised one after another, and then Concubine Qing and Concubine Pei led to congratulate the emperor.

(ps: If you look at the title, you should know that Xianya can't escape the fate of cannon fodder in the end, don't scold me, the plot needs it.)
