Since she was looking for death herself, Zhuang Siyan couldn't afford not to give her a chance, so she smiled and said, "Okay! ”

Ling Tiancheng immediately glanced at her, his eyes complicated.

Zhuang Siyan gave him a reassuring smile in return, then got up from his seat, walked to her side and said, "What about dancing, I won't dance today, because everyone has seen too much, and they are tired of watching, but I have other fun things to dedicate to the Queen Mother, do you want to see it?" ”

Empress Dowager An: "......"

The mourning family doesn't really want to see it, can you not perform and let the mourning family go back to sleep?

This is the voice of the Empress Dowager An, she really doesn't want to watch Zhuang Siyan's performance at all, but Ling Tiancheng sat there without moving, and his face was unfathomable.

She couldn't say her words, and only looked at the concubines below quietly, hoping that someone would stand up and help her get free.

It's a pity that those concubines all want to see Zhuang Siyan's good show, and when they hear that she has something new to perform, their eyes widen a lot, how can they intercept them halfway?

In the end, Ling Tiancheng said: "It's not early today, the winter night is cold, and I'm a little tired, let's play it another day!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

As soon as his words fell, Concubine Xian knelt down: "Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the concubine is late, but her heart is pious, and she begs to give the concubine a chance." ”

Empress Dowager An's eyes froze for a moment, and even she wanted to kick the concubine at this moment.

Honestly isn't it good? What to do with this limelight? They had been with Ling Tiancheng for so long, didn't they know his temperament?

is struggling with herself, whether to open her mouth and let her retreat.

I heard Ling Tiancheng say: "Okay, since the concubine is filial, then you can play it to the Queen Mother."

Concubine Wan, go back to the Xuan Hall with me! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Zhuang Siyan, was stunned.

What is this operation? Left a bunch of people here and gone? Do you want to take her alone? But the ultimate move she prepared hasn't been released yet? Why didn't Ling Tian give her a chance?

I think so, but Zhuang Siyan also knows that it is not appropriate to entangle at this time, so many pairs of eyes to look at it, it is better to conform to Ling Tiancheng than to screw with him.

So he walked out with him very obediently, gave Lan Xin a look, and packed up all the things he had prepared.

When the two of them left the Imperial Palace, Zhuang Siyan couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Ling Tiancheng's sleeve and said, "What's the matter?" Why don't you let me compete with my concubine? ”

Ling Tiancheng's voice was indifferent: "Didn't you hear me say that I was tired?" ”

Zhuang Siyan rolled his eyelids: "Cut, I can't see that you are tired, look at how energetic and poisonous those eyes are, have you calculated what Concubine Xian wants to do to me?" ”

Ling Tiancheng turned his head to look at her: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "I don't know, isn't this asking you?" If you don't know, why do you have to refuse me to perform with her? You don't know what I'm going to do, how do you know I'm going to lose? ”

"I didn't know you were going to lose, but I knew it was best not to give her this kind of opportunity." Ling Tiancheng said.

Zhuang Siyan thought for a while before she understood the meaning of Ling Tiancheng's words, shook her head and said, "She tried her best to think about it, but you didn't let her come out, is that what it means?" ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't speak, he had already reached out to take her hand and walked straight towards the Xuan Palace.

In the Imperial Palace, as soon as Ling Tiancheng left, the rest of the matter could not be troubled.

The concubines are competing with each other, just to gain a good impression in front of the emperor and give themselves one more chance, but now that everyone else is gone, and Concubine Wan is taken away, what else is there to play here?

Empress Dowager An felt bored at first, and when she saw Ling Tiancheng leaving, she also said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest and let the concubines feel free.

As soon as she left, those with a little face went out one after another.

It's freezing, and who wants to stay here if there's no good show to watch?

Concubine Xian came with a lot of blood and hatred, but she didn't do anything, and the person was gone.

In the end, she was the only one left, standing in the Imperial Palace in a daze, indifferently, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who cleaned up the mess looked at Xian Concubine with sympathy.

She was so angry that she pressed her hand on the string in front of her, and plucked it wildly.

The chaotic notes came out of the qin, disturbing the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace, and startling the palace people inside, all of whom turned their heads to look at her.

Some of those who were brave began to talk softly: "The emperor doesn't want to listen to her piano, what's the use of losing his temper, it's not that no one listens?" ”

"Isn't it? I also think that I am also a concubine, I live in Qixiang Palace for a while, and I can turn over when I come out. ”

"Shhh, don't talk about it, Concubine Xian's father is also a member of the first rank in the court, and there is also a great prince in Jiafu, and he is also a well-known talent in Kyoto City."

"That's right, maybe when I'll be favored again."

"Yes, those of us who are subordinates just need to do things honestly, as for the rest, it's all the master's business."

A group of palace people discussed a few words, and each went about his own business.

Xian Concubine listened to their words, and at this time, she couldn't help the piano in her hand, which was the face of those villains who tended to be inflammatory, and let her scratch the flowers and rot, and only when she caught the blood flowed to relieve her hatred.

In the Imperial Palace, there is constantly the sound of a chaotic piano like a magic sound.

In order to avoid the disaster, the palace people had hurriedly packed up their things and left, and the concubine seemed to have fallen into her own puzzle, still clutching the strings.

The strings were broken, two, and finally all of them were broken by her, leaving only one stand.

Enraged, she picked up the stand and threw it down.

After the sound of "collapse", the palace calmed down again.

Very quiet, dead silence.

After a long time, a voice said behind Xian Concubine: "Sister, why is this difficult? ”

Concubine Rong spoke, took two steps inside, and draped a fox fur on her: "The weather is cold, sister should go back early to rest."

It's full of eyes, and it's not good to look at it. ”

Concubine Xian glared at her: "You don't have to pretend here in this palace, what do you think in your heart, don't you really know this palace?"

Not to mention that some subordinates have seen it, even if you see it, what can you do with me? ”

Concubine Rong smiled and whispered, "Sister, it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think?"

Although Concubine Wan had lived in Qixiang Palace before, she was very safe in it, so the emperor released her again.

But if you look at yourself again, you made a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, and smashed the piano here, if the emperor knew about it, what do you think he would think?

Your Majesty, my favorite is a gentle and considerate person.

Don't look at Concubine Wan's usual arrogance, but as soon as she saw the emperor, she used all the foxy energy, no matter how happy the emperor was, she could catch it, so she had today. ”

Concubine Rong said seriously, and her analysis was also the truth, and she was actually listened to by Concubine Xian.

Because of some hatred in the past, she blindly wanted to take revenge on Zhuang Siyan, but she carelessly forgot the emperor's habits, no wonder she lost so badly.

Before that, the emperor also went to Qixiang Palace to appease her, as long as she is well, she will definitely be able to go out and be favored again in the future.

It was she who rushed to the doctor when she was sick and pushed things one step more sinister, but she was grateful to Concubine Rong for enlightening her at this time.

However, in the harem, there has never been a free lunch, and if Concubine Rong can hand her such a benefit, she will definitely have a plan.

"Why are you telling me this?" Concubine Xian asked her.

Rong Concubine: "Naturally, I hope my sister has a better life." ”

Nonsense, Concubine Xian thought, the more she didn't say it, the more it showed that this matter was not small, but Zhuang Siyan was almost the enemy of all the harems, and if Concubine Rong wanted to unite with her and put the other party to death together, she would be very happy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, she didn't ask again.

Returning her fox fur, she reached out and picked up Ling Tiancheng's cloak that had fallen on the ground and said, "It's late at night, sister go back early to rest, I'll go back too." ”

The Imperial Palace was quiet again.

Concubine Rong also left.

Some of the candles went out, and only some of the usual lights were still on.

In a place where the light couldn't shine, Zhuang Siyan rubbed his hands, feeling that it was a little hotter, and then began to carefully collect the news he had just heard.

The Jia family, it seems that the backstage of the concubine is still relatively hard, so Ling Tiancheng does not touch him.

But then again, except for the previous Lan Guiren, who was executed and punished by the Nine Clans, he seems to be very tolerant of everyone.

And he is very fond of everyone, looking at the eyes of Miao Guifei today, and relieving the concubine, no matter which one is taken out, it is a manifestation of a man's gentleman's admiration.

In the past, Zhuang Siyan just thought that he was very good to himself, but after today's scene, he suddenly understood that he was the same to the women in the harem.

Everyone can be petted or not, and the root cause is the forces behind them.

In other words, Ling Tiancheng was using these women to restrain the ministers of the court and make them do things for themselves.

And those ministers also used these women to restrain the emperor, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

It's a game of checks and balances, and they're all very slippery.

It's just that Zhuang Siyan looked at the eyes of the concubines, and her hatred for herself seemed unfathomable, she was not like other concubines, she just hated herself as if she was more favored than them.

Concubine Xian seemed to have a greater hatred with herself, but Zhuang Siyan couldn't remember where she had offended her.

After she returned to the Xuan Palace, she called Lan Xin over and asked in detail what the situation of Concubine Xian's mother's family was, and asked herself if it was possible, or if Zhuang Changyuan had offended the family.

Lan Xin's face was extremely ugly, and she looked at her for a long time before asking, "Miss really doesn't remember at all?" ”

"Nonsense, if I remember, do I still need to ask you?"

Only then did Lan Xin speak: "Miss, before you entered the palace, you had a marriage contract with Jia Mingyuan, the son of the Jia family. ”

Ha? Engagement?

Zhuang Siyan looked down at himself, and then looked up at Lan Xin: "You mean, I was originally going to marry someone else, but then I entered the palace?" ”

Lan Xin nodded: "At that time, you and Gongzi Jia booked the wedding date......

Zhuang Siyan interrupted her suddenly, and asked anxiously: "Wait......, is that Jia Gongzi good-looking?" I listened to the palace people in the Imperial Palace tonight, he seems to be quite talented, and he is also praised by them as the first person in Beijing, it seems that many girls like him very much, right? ”
