In Ling Tiancheng's harem, no prince has come out until now.

This has become a heart disease for all women, everyone wants to get it, but they can't enter it.

They couldn't keep Ling Tiancheng in their palace, even if they stayed, they couldn't coax him to their bed, and even if they went to bed, they couldn't have a relationship.

And Zhuang Siyan lived in the Xuan Hall without much effort, and waited on the dragon couch from time to time, how could this kind of treatment not make the other concubines in the harem angry?

But they usually can't even see this woman's face, and they can't go to the Xuan Palace to find fault, so everyone puts their energy on the birthday of the Empress Dowager An.

On such a day, I don't believe that she can still be by the emperor's side, and I don't believe that she can still hide in the Xuan Palace and not come out.

In anticipation, the clock moved forward a few more days.

Empress Dowager An's birthday has arrived.

Early in the morning, the entire palace is lit up, and the trees that connect the icicles are covered with colorful silk.

The palace maids and eunuchs were in an endless stream, shuttling back and forth to prepare for various matters.

Empress Dowager An returned to her palace after being worshiped by the officials at Nanchen Gate.

The concubines of each palace also came, and they stood in a courtyard full of people.

The eunuchs and palace maids who took care of the affairs received the gifts from each palace, and then led people to the Empress Dowager An.

Greetings and congratulations naturally dragged on for a long time.

At this time, as long as there are some positions in the palace, they will come, and they will always give some gifts to show their respect for the Queen Mother.

It is said that in the palace, the concubines with low status are really unjustly killed, and they are usually not good things, but this kind of money will not leave them behind.

Don't think that your position is low, you can take this opportunity to give the Queen Mother a generous gift, and you can turn over.

If you think like that, it's a lot of thinking.

In this harem, there are many people with hearts, and they can't sit in a high position, so naturally they don't have enough hearts, and the financial resources and the power of the mother's family are relatively low.

So what good things can you come up with to compare with others?

So the road to the sky in one step does not exist, and it is rare to see such a situation as Zhuang Siyan, who let her cross over?

Empress Dowager An's birthday banquet was arranged in the Imperial Palace.

The Huangji Palace is not far from the Ningshou Palace where she lives, so the concubines who gave gifts and said auspicious words to the Queen Mother were successively led there by the eunuchs and palace maids to sit down.

Zhuang Siyan came very late, when she arrived, there were no outsiders here in the Empress Dowager An, and she was also changing clothes in the inner hall, tidying up her head and face, and preparing to go to the Huangji Palace to attend the birthday banquet.

As a result, a palace maid came outside to report, saying that Zhuang Siyan had arrived.

Empress Dowager An was not interested in her from the beginning, and it was only because she had the advantage and Ling Tiancheng's protection that she had to show some patience.

"Please go sit down first, the mourning family will come." She said slowly.

Someone at the door answered: "Queen Mother, I know you're busy at this time, so I'll come over first." ”

Empress Dowager An's face in the mirror stiffened.

It's so unruly, is the Queen Mother's bedroom what she wants to enter?

However, Zhuang Siyan had already come in, still holding a big box in his hand, carefully placed it in front of her, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Let the concubines come to serve the queen mother and comb her hair!" ”

The palace maids stood and didn't dare to move, and the Empress Dowager An was even more angry: "Don't dare to work Concubine Wan." ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled: "How can this be called labor, you are the queen mother of the emperor, and you are also the mother of the concubine, when the concubine entered the palace, the queen mother also went to Xihuamen to greet her, so I rushed to this feeling, and the concubine should serve you." ”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the box on the table.

Empress Dowager An can't, it seems that if she doesn't agree today, Zhuang Siyan will not leave, and it will take up her time.

dismissed left and right, in the end, I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart, so my face was too good-looking.

Zhuang Siyan took two steps forward, put his hand on the lid of the box, and still smiled: "Queen Mother, today is your birthday, here is a gift from the concubine, I hope you can like it." ”

The words fell, and with a slight push of the hand, the box was opened.

A turquoise light came out with the opening of the lid of the box, although Zhuang Siyan had seen it before, but when he looked at it again, he was still dizzy.

When she settled down and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang's expression again, her face was no better than her own.

His eyes were straight, his face was pale, his teeth were slightly bitten, and his hands were clutching his dress.

No way? Empress Dowager An is the queen mother, and she has been in the palace for so many years, what kind of things have you not seen?

Even if you think it's good, you don't have to be surprised, right?

Zhuang Siyan thought about it, pushed the thing in his hand forward again, and asked, "Does the Queen Mother like it?" ”

Empress Dowager An came back to her senses in a daze, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she nodded and said, "I like it, let Concubine Wan bother." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "It doesn't take much effort, this is all prepared by my father." ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager An's face changed a few times, Zhuang Siyan's words also changed very slowly, gently, word by word: "The concubine has just entered the palace, although she has received some rewards from the emperor, they are all things that the queen mother is used to, in the end, my father understands the heart of the queen mother, and can pick out such things, so that you like them at first sight." ”

Empress Dowager An's hands crumpled her clothes and wore a jade ring between her fingers, which hurt her flesh and made her sober a little.

She took her eyes off Yu Ruyi, and inadvertently saw her face in the mirror, which was covered with a thin bead of sweat at some point, and suddenly panicked.

However, in the end, I have seen a big scene, and after such a panic pause for a few seconds, it slowly stabilized.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhuang Siyan, and her voice was quite calm: "Thank you Lord Zhuang on behalf of the mourning family." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "The words of the Queen Mother will be transmitted." ”

Empress Dowager An had a stump in her heart, and she still said: "Concubine Wan will also go to the Huangji Palace first, and she will come when the mourning family changes her makeup." ”

After the matter was done, Zhuang Siyan naturally wouldn't really stay to comb Empress Dowager An's hair, so he obediently saluted and withdrew.

When Empress Dowager An heard her go out, she hurriedly glanced at the jade Ruyi again, and then hurriedly closed the lid of the box and got up.

She was so panicked that she couldn't find a suitable place to place it after looking for a long time, and she was afraid that others would see it, so she could only hide under the dressing table temporarily.

There were many people in the palace, and it took a lot of time to come and go with various etiquettes, and when Empress Dowager An arrived at the Imperial Palace, it was already noon.

It's luncheon time.

Everyone finally waited for the Empress Dowager An, and they had to wait for the emperor later.

However, they didn't wait, they only waited for Li Fu to come, respectfully saluted Empress Dowager An, and said a lot of nice words, only then did they say that Ling Tiancheng was busy with affairs today, but he had come to luncheon.

It is enough to let the concubines accompany the Empress Dowager An to be lively, but he will definitely come to the dinner.

It's not like this kind of time, in previous years, Ling Tiancheng wouldn't even come to the dinner party, and the Empress Dowager An was used to it.

It's just that the other concubines are inevitably disappointed again.

Someone saw Zhuang Siyan, who was not protected by Ling Tiancheng, sitting alone in his position, and there were not even many palace people around him, and the fire of jealousy couldn't help but burn.

The first to sit still was the concubine.

The first time she fought with Zhuang Siyan, because of the participation of the Empress Dowager An and the emperor, she was defeated, and then she looked for various opportunities to embarrass her again.

But later, Zhuang Siyan left the palace, and when she came in again, she was already a concubine, and she reached a height that she couldn't reach at all.

It's just that the resentment in the concubine's heart has not subsided by half a point, but is increasing day by day.

When I saw her at this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I was looking at a thorn in my flesh.

The concubine held a glass of wine in her hand, accompanied by the palace people, and slowly walked towards Zhuang Siyan.

Zhuang Siyan has been beside Empress Dowager An since she entered here, not because Empress Dowager An looks good today, but because there is a fairy sitting next to her.

Miao Guifei.

Miao Guifei was full of nobility, and she was not angry with other concubines, she sat next to the Empress Dowager An, and suppressed her momentum, which was a bit self-respecting.

However, the Empress Dowager An was not half dissatisfied with her, and her face seemed to be flattering.

This made Zhuang Siyan not understand.

Miao Guifei is the niece of the Empress Dowager An, everyone in the palace knows this, it stands to reason that an elder and a junior have the same status in the palace, it should be Miao Guifei who stammers her, why is the situation the other way around?

She was pondering the reason here, and the concubine over there had already arrived in front of her.

"Concubine Wan!" The concubine opened her mouth, her tone was not half kind, and the way she gritted her teeth made it easy to think that she was talking about "slut".

Zhuang Siyan raised his head, and when he saw that it was her, he was excited.

This person was in front of the Empress Dowager An to protect her, of course, the purpose was to use it later, but now she hasn't found a suitable use, but she is on the same page with herself, and she is really confused, and she can't see right from wrong.

"Concubine, huh? What's the matter, why are you looking for me to drink? Such a casual way of talking, the few concubines who looked here were stunned.

And Zhuang Siyan had already gotten up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Zhen, let's go first, if you really want to drink, after today, I will go to your palace to find you, and we will open the altar to drink." ”

Concubines: "......"

What's the difference between this and the rough sweat in the countryside?

Is this still the emperor's concubine?

Even if she didn't learn the rules in the palace, she was not the daughter of Zhuang Xiang before, the sister of General Ye, how could she speak like this?

Zhuang Siyan couldn't control them, raised his glass and drank it all, then looked at the concubine and said, "Drink, what are you waiting for, haven't you seen that I have drunk?" ”

The concubine didn't come to her to drink, she came to find fault, hearing this, she took a step forward, but deliberately tripped the corner of the table, and poured the cup on Zhuang Siyan.

Seeing that the wine was about to fall on Zhuang Siyan's body, everyone snickered.

I'm waiting to see Zhuang Siyan's good show, and of course there are also concubines.

It was really unwise for the concubine to make trouble at the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager An, but these people who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement wouldn't tell her.

These people can't wait for both of them to make a fool of themselves, and finally punish them again, so they applaud.

The wine was flying in the air, and the concubine was also proud.

She looked at Zhuang Siyan, and also watched the crisp wine pass through the air, just waiting for all the wine to hit her head, from top to bottom, drenching her hair, drenching her makeup, and staining her clothes, this woman would not sit here in peace.
