In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Feng Bao finished delivering things and replied to the emperor. When the emperor saw him coming, he got up. Anxiously asked, "Did she say anything?" ”

"I said thank you for the emperor's reward."

"I personally pick the ingredients, she naturally likes it." The simple word "thanks" also made the emperor feel comfortable.

"Among the materials for this Suzhou tribute, there are a total of seven horses on the top grade, the emperor sent three horses to the queen mother, and three horses to the queen, and the only one left was given to Zheng Xiaozhu, Zheng Xiaozhu naturally likes to love it."

The emperor was very pleased when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Reward!" He rewarded Feng Bao with a handful of golden melon seeds.

Feng Bao held the golden melon seeds and said, "Your Majesty, the sign of the tribute room has been prepared." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will go to Changchun Palace these days." By the way, have you chosen the day for the canonization of the nine concubines? ”

"Back to the emperor, the day is chosen, but the time is far away, the emperor has not set up nine concubines since he ascended the throne, the queen mother's meaning is to focus on the top. Therefore, the Queen Mother chose to canonize nine concubines in August next year, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Why has it been delayed so far, it's only March now, why is it delayed until next year?"

"The Queen Mother said that the emperor has no heirs under his knees, and if there are heirs, it will be more beautiful if he is canonized......" Feng Bao said cautiously. A few years ago, because Concubine Yi was infected with the wind and cold, and the four-month-old child in her belly was chopped together, the emperor was worried for a long time, and since then, the mention of the heir has made the emperor unhappy. Now that the Queen Mother has mentioned it, I don't know what the emperor thinks.

The emperor sighed, because of Concubine Yi, he was always reluctant to mention the matter of the heir, except for the queen's palace, he didn't go anywhere else, and even exempted the respectful room from serving the sign every day. Now that the show girls have entered the palace, it is really not necessary to be sad about this.

"I understand the queen mother's good intentions," the emperor pondered for a while, and had a way, "The queen mother only said that the canonization ceremony will be in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, but she did not say that she can't seal the throne first." Then give some low positions first, seal the positions, and the palace people and the silver also rise, don't work hard for them. ”

"The emperor is wise, listen to the emperor."

"Don't worry about anything else, Zheng Mengjing, just seal Jieyu." The emperor directly mentioned the name of the dream, but Feng Bao was embarrassed when he heard it: "This Zheng Xiaozhu was originally a lady, and above this Jieyu is a concubine, I am afraid that her position is a little high." And this Zheng Xiaozhu is not yet sixteen, and he has not yet served in bed, and this lady Qin who has served in bed should be taller than her according to the rules. ”

The emperor felt that there was some truth when he heard it, and he only named her, which made her jealous and hated by the harem concubines: "Then don't be too high, seal Zheng Mengjing as a talent, the Qin family will be a beauty, and the rest will be named nobles." ”

Feng Bao received the order, and as soon as he walked out of the palace, the spring rain was dripping down. Good rain really knows the season, and after only a while, the Forbidden City was covered with a veil made of mist, and at the time of this day, the Forbidden City learned the news of the promotion.

Concubine Liu Zhao sat in front of the window, looking at the peonies outside the window, and the buds that were about to open were still open, and they were dazzlingly red under the beating of the spring rain. The palace maid Qiuyue came over with a cup of hot tea, Concubine Liu Zhao took the tea, sighed and said, "This spring rain has given these peonies a little hope." I thought it was raining, so I rushed to bloom, but I didn't know that it was blooming, so it was not far from the medicine. ”

The palace maid Qiuyue nodded and said, "There is hope, but it is not necessarily good." ”

The rain fell intermittently for a whole month, and at this time, the emperor went to the Qin Beauty Palace every night. Qin Meiren is well known to everyone, and those who smuggle and shoot horses often come to Changchun Palace, Zheng Mengjing saw that these people came and went very noisy, so he had to go to Zhongcui Palace every day to talk to the two sisters.

Every time the emperor enters the palace, he just thinks about looking at his dreams, but he can't see her every time. One day at dinner in the Qin Beauty Palace, the emperor asked Qin Xiangxiang again: "There is still a talented person in Changchun Palace, why am I here, I don't see her to say goodbye to me?" ”

Qin Meiren thought that she was favored, and the emperor rewarded her for protecting her that night in the dream realm, so she also named Zheng Cairen. Now that the emperor frequently mentions Zheng Mengjing, Qin Meiren is uneasy. Seeing that the emperor complained, but he really missed her in his heart. With this thought, Qin Meiren inevitably hated the dream realm, and her tone was also a little jealous: "Then Zheng Mengjing always befriended the Qiao noble Li Guiren in Zhongcui Palace, and he couldn't see him for nine out of ten days, so where would he have time to come and see the emperor." ”

Qin Meiren just wanted to complain, but she didn't expect the emperor to be very unhappy when she heard it, and she didn't say a word with a calm face. After a while, he got up and said, "I'm done with dinner, it's still early, and I'm back to the palace." After speaking, he strode out of Sishuixuan.

Qin Mei was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the ground. The dishes on the table also suffered, and the palace maid Cuifang hurriedly knelt down to take care of it. Cuifang and Cuilan are twin daughters, and they are both palace people in Changchun Palace. Cuilan died, and Cuifang became the maid by Qin Meiren's side. Qin Meiren saw that this Cuifang's face was similar to Cuilan's, and remembered that Cuilan's dream was out of the limelight on the day she died, so she was even more angry, picked up a big bowl of chicken soup and poured it on top of Cuifang's head.

Cuifang knelt and begged for mercy, the soup made her eyes can't open, her nose can't breathe, she opens her mouth and gasps, looking like she is drowning. When Lady Qin saw this, her eyes rolled and she had a plan.

The emperor left Changchun Palace and felt very uncomfortable. People say that the emperor is free, but they don't know what is sour. He promoted the Qin family's beauty for the dream, and often went to the Changchun Palace for the dream, but he couldn't see it, and his heart was itching.

At night, a spring thunder pierced the silence of Jingren Palace. The queen sat on the couch and embroidered, and the emperor did not come for a few days, which did not seem to affect her. The palace maid Chunlan came over with a new cup of tea, and praised the embroidery pattern: "This red belly pocket with a peace lock embroidered with silver thread is really beautiful, and the queen's embroidery is exquisite, which is much better than that of the Shang Gong Bureau." ”

"How can there be such a good embroidery in this palace," the queen listened with appreciation, "Seeing that the peace lock is almost finished, I will go and find some gold thread for this palace, and this palace will embroider this edge more delicately." ”

The spring thunder is one after another, and if Khotan is like a crowd of cars, it can't break the conspiracy and trickery of Changchun Palace, and it can't mess up Jingren Palace.
