Qingyi was about to get up to stop Nao Ying's behavior, but suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Queen Mother, Lu Niangzi asks to see." ”

Because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, all the concubines and concubines of the East Palace except for the queen have no name, but the identity of the concubines of the Son of Heaven has been decided, and they can no longer be called as before. And because the position given by the new emperor did not come down, they were only called "Niangzi".

"Blessed Lu Niangzi." The voice of saluting and greeting came from outside the door.

Nao Sakura hurriedly stopped when she heard the voice, and Qingyi, who was still crying, hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and only showed a calm and decent expression, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lu Niangzi took her maidservant, only took a fan in her hand and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The queen is cool here!" ”

"Queen Niangniang." When Lu Niangzi saw the queen, a smile appeared on her face, as if the flowers that were about to bud opened when they saw the first rays of sunshine in the morning.

Lu Niangzi looked at the expressions of the queen and Qingyi, and only felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say anything strange, but fortunately she didn't say it, and only said to the queen: "Queen Mother, it is a great joy that you are pregnant." The concubine's father had sent an envoy to Korea in the early years, and the first emperor rewarded some excellent thousand-year-old ginseng. Now that the queen is happy, the concubine thinks that what is given to the queen is the best. ”

Naan Ying smiled, and ordered Shui Xiu to take the box of ginseng, only to see that the ginseng was so big and in excellent condition, so she praised it: "This is an excellent thing!" You're bothered! ”

Lu Niangzi just smiled from the bottom of her heart: "It's good if the queen likes it!" What other polite words did the mother and the concubine say? The concubine met the mother in her early years. ”

"Sister Lu also knew the queen mother?"

Let's say that the emperor ascended the throne, and soon, the ministers in the court asked the emperor to canonize the concubines of the harem, and only said that they wanted to Ming Dynasty etiquette. The Emperor obeyed, and only said that it would be announced to the public in a few days.

"The slave maid thought to herself, lady, you are familiar with the queen's mother, and I think that because of the queen's mother, Your Majesty will not give you too low a position." Qiu Niang was thinking beside Qingyi.

Qingyi didn't think like this, she never cared about Emperor Li Chun's attitude towards her, but there was always uneasiness in her heart. After all, the Empress Dowager wanted her to win the favor of Emperor Li Chun. She is so inactive and unconcerned about grace, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Empress Dowager Zhaohui will criticize her.

Qingyi sometimes wondered if he wanted to try his best to win the favor of Emperor Li Chun. After all, that is the husband she can only rely on from now on. As a concubine of the Son of Heaven, she can only rely on Li Chun's favor to live a better life, and she will not let the Empress Dowager be too dissatisfied with herself.

But every time she has such an idea, Qingyi just buries this idea in the deepest part of her heart.

And that's not just because of the cherry blossoms.

What's more important is the former young man in his heart.

The wall immediately looked at each other from afar, and when they saw Zhijun, they broke their bowels.

It was only the first throbbing in my heart when I was young, but after so many years, I can't forget it.

What's more, it is when that gentleness is in such a strong contrast with the indifference and cruelty that Li Chun has brought to him today.

Qingyi couldn't help but start to miss the happiest time again in her heart. At that time, the pipa was playing on the wall, and the young man on horseback passed under the wall, smiled sweetly, and reverberated in his heart.

"Lady, the canonization will of several ladies in the palace has come down." Lianshui hurriedly ran over and said to Qingyi.

"Qi Niangzi sealed the noble concubine Niangniang of the second grade and gave Xianyang Palace to live; Li Niangzi sealed the concubine Niangniang from the second grade and gave Weiyang Palace to live. Everyone in the palace only said that it was because of Li Niangzi's appearance that she was the best in the harem. For the rest, Xu Niangzi sealed the nobles of the four products and gave Shouchang Palace to live; Lu Niangzi gave a beauty because her qualifications were not as good as that of; The remaining Zhu Niangzi and Niangzi have no obvious will so far. ”

According to the rules of the dynasty, the concubines in the palace are divided into six grades and twelve [Note]. The three concubines of Zhengyipin, the concubine, and the concubine are the most noble, but since more than 100 years ago, there has been a tradition in the palace that the queen does not set up the three concubines. Only when the queen has not yet been canonized, or when the queen is about to be deposed or is extremely unfavored, will the three concubines be canonized.

As for the twelve concubines, only the "Liuyi" and above of the third grade can be regarded as the main seat of the inner court, and can be called "Niangniang", and can be in charge of the affairs of the first palace and live in the main hall of the first palace. The rest can only be called "lady" or "little master", and they can't live in the main hall of the first house.

However, Qingyi has never had the expectation that she will be crowned the lord, according to her own thoughts, it is not surprising that she will be crowned the last talented girl. It's just that the upper and lower positions in the palace have been decided, only he and Zhu Zhenyun's wife have not set their positions, but they can't see clearly.

"Lady, what do you have to worry about, that is, because of the relationship between you and the queen, you are not a beauty, and you are also a good person! But your position is not low! ”

While he was talking, An Zhi beside the emperor came to pass on the will of Emperor Li Chun: canonize Zhu Zhenyun's wife as a good person of the five grades and give her a residence in Wan'an Palace. Canonized Qingyi as the selection of the six products and gave him a place in the Longevity Palace.

After Anzhi left, Qiu Niangdang realized the inappropriateness of what she said, and only hurriedly asked for sin: "The lady forgives the sin, the slave said it unintentionally." ”

Qingyi didn't seem to care, just turned around slowly, and started to do her own thing again. It seems that what kind of position it is has nothing to do with Qingyi.

It's just that after being canonized like this, Qingyi is the lowest-ranking concubine in the six palaces. That's it, it's just that the longevity palace is located in the corner of the East Sixth Palace, which is the most desolate place among the six palaces, and because it is next to the palace where people in the palace enter and exit the harem, it is even more noisy, and accidents often occur.

Because of this, the Longevity Palace has not been inhabited by concubines for a long time. Only concubines who are extremely unfavored by the emperor will live in the longevity palace. And the emperor gave such a will, which is undoubtedly to slap Qingyi's face.

Qingyi picked up a book casually and flipped through it casually, not caring about such a canonization.

"What are you reading?" A light male voice came into Dao Qingyi's ears, which made Qingyi startled.

In the harem, except for that person, there will be no one else who will have such a voice.

"The concubines see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... No, Your Majesty. ”

Li Chun, who became the emperor, seemed to have added a more mature charm between his actions, and his words were more imposing than before. Naturally, there used to be momentum.

Because the mourning period of Emperor Daxing had passed, Li Chun also changed into a bright purple dragon robe of the Twelve Dragons and Twelve Chapters, which made his face more energetic, which was enough to be the king's breath that the emperor should have.

"It seems that you are not suitable for me to be the emperor!" Li Chun said coldly.

"Your Majesty's right position is the joy of the world. The concubines were also very happy. Xu is concubine was overjoyed, so she lost her words. Qingyi replied calmly. After saying that, she squatted down and asked Emperor Li Chun for peace.

Li Chun waved his hand casually, just to ask Qingyi to get up, he looked at Qingyi, and his face was still with that cold and terrible expression: "Are you satisfied with the position I gave you?" And the Palace of Longevity, which I carefully selected for you. ”

Qingyi was also expressionless on her face, and said, "Your Majesty's gift, the concubine is naturally satisfied." As for the Longevity Palace, since it was arranged by His Majesty, the concubines were naturally grateful. ”

Emperor Li Chun smiled coldly: "Of course I have to bother. You are a man of means, the queen, and she will help you say good things in front of me. ”

Qingyi's heart moved, and she immediately felt a little flustered in her heart, could it be that the queen Nao Ying really went to reason with the emperor for her? If this is the case, then I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand her even more, and his image of greed and vanity will not be saved.

She doesn't care that she will completely lose the emperor's favor from now on, what she cares about is only her truest image, just the most real self. Grace doesn't matter, but innocence is something more important than life.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" Li Chun's face became darker and darker: "I originally thought that you would be like this, and it would be okay to canonize a talented girl from the sixth grade." But when the queen saw it, she came to me and said that you have known the queen since you were a child, and you can't give such a lowly position no matter what. The queen pleaded with me again and again, and she gave you the position of choosing a servant. ”

"Zhang Qingyi, you really have the means, not only the emperor's great-grandmother, but now even the queen has been bewitched by you?" Li Chun asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty......" Qingyi was about to say something, but he saw Li Chun showing an increasingly panicked and scared look at him.

Li Chun's handsome face, for some reason, was gradually twisted into a ball, as if it was kneaded together cotton, which formed a great contrast with his plain white and heroic face.

Then, Li Chun grew his mouth, and he looked more and more panicked and scared, only pointing in the direction of Qingyi, and his whole body was shaking, like sifting chaff.

Qingyi looked in the direction Li Chun was pointing, looking at the plain sky-blue horseshoe sleeve jacket he was wearing, but he saw something that made Li Chun madly frightened and uneasy.

It's a black, climbing spider.

Qingyi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but first flicked the spider with her fingers. Who knew that the force was not big or small, and it was impartial and just made the spider bounce on Li Chun's shoulder.

The moment the spider landed on Li Chun's body, Li Chun seemed to be jumping up and down as if he had encountered a plague god, and the person who usually only looked cold and serious was now like a child yelling because of a spider. It was as if the person in front of him had become a three-year-old child. Qingyi was even worried that Li Chun would cry out in the next moment. That was the extremely different appearance of Li Chun that Qingyi saw, she felt surprised and funny, and only gently helped Li Chun bounce the spider down, and was about to stretch out her foot to step on it.

"Wait......" was Li Chun's voice, "It's not his fault to let this thing go." Li Chun tried his best to pretend to be calm, but on the other hand, he couldn't hide the look of fear on his face, and only frowned tightly, as if he wanted to run away at any time.

"Hahaha!" Qingyi finally couldn't help it and laughed.
