Zhuang Siyan, who had insomnia all night, went to Zichen Hall without waiting for Ling Tiancheng to disperse the dynasty the next day.

told him his thoughts very seriously: "If you don't interfere again, those palace people will be killed by her?" ”

Ling Tiancheng raised his eyes to look at her: "Do you think she is sick?" ”

"Yes, there must be something wrong with her brain, normal people wouldn't do such a thing."

Ling Tiancheng shook his head: "If she is really sick, let the imperial doctor go to see her, I have intervened, I am afraid that she will be more pampered." ”

For Ling Tiancheng's attitude, Zhuang Siyan couldn't bear it: "Why are you like this, those palace people are also people, usually just beat and scold, now An Miao'er wants their lives, if you don't save them, will anyone in this palace dare to interfere?" ”

Ling Tiancheng stood up from the table, looked at Zhuang Siyan's eyes, and paused before saying, "Yan'er, you don't understand, in the harem, in order to achieve a certain goal, there are many women who use some extraordinary means, and she just uses a different kind from others. ”

This sentence, like a heavy blow, hit Zhuang Siyan's chest directly, and she couldn't breathe for a long time.

What Ling Tiancheng said is not unreasonable, since ancient times, the harem has competed for favor, and any trick can be used, and it is not no one who even has his own children.

It's cruel, but it's true.

An Miao'er is now taking the palace people all over the palace, and the Empress Dowager An has not come forward for so long, so she must be waiting for Ling Tiancheng.

Ling Tiancheng was still very smart, or he knew the situation in the inner palace better than Zhuang Siyan, so he could see through such tricks at a glance.

"Yan'er, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I'll deal with it."

Zhuang Siyan's voice lowered: "Will those people die?" ”

Ling Tiancheng was silent for a moment: "Those people also came with them from the An Mansion, and the palace people arranged by the Internal Affairs Office have already been dealt with by her." ”

Zhuang Siyan shuddered.

She really can't intervene in this matter, if An Junhou's matter is not resolved, no one will be able to move An Miao'er, this is an obvious matter.

Ling Tiancheng also knew how to deal with it, but Zhuang Siyan suddenly felt cold.

When I went to Wen Qing again, my spirit was a little weak, and I even accidentally forgot to bring out my stored belongings.

When I found out, I was still a little depressed, and then I thought about it, anyway, Wen Qing already knew, and there was no point in hiding it, so forget it.

In fact, Zhuang Siyan went to Wen Qing to learn a foreign language, and he had another role, which was to help him communicate with Ling Tiancheng.

This time, Wen Qing gave her the news that she had taken out the letters about Zhuang Changyuan from Luo Ke's family and sent them back to Zhuang Mansion in a special way.

Wen Qing said: "Zhuang Changyuan has definitely made a move recently. ”

Zhuang Siyan asked, "What will he do?" Did you break with Luo Ke directly? ”

"Probably not, the two of them have been working together for many years, and they have each other's handles in each other's hands, and they won't break it openly, but Zhuang Changyuan will definitely talk to Luo Ke."

In fact, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, the relationship between the two cannot go back to the past.

However, Ling Tian was going to go out on the coming of age festival, and this case had to slow down, which just made the two of them think that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Tiancheng.

Time flies quickly, after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the whole capital is full of the atmosphere of the New Year.

Everywhere is lit up, and people have changed into new clothes, wearing red and green, walking on the streets, to buy New Year's goods, or take the opportunity to visit relatives and friends.

Zhuang Siyan also bought some things, but they were all snacks, packed two full packs, and when he walked to the palace gate, he passed by Ye Yuanpei's mansion.

Seeing that two red lanterns were also hung at his door, he went to ask the guard at the door if Ye Yuanpei had returned.

The guard saw that he was dressed ordinarily and spoke casually, not like General Ye's deep friend, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and only drove her away from the door.

Zhuang Siyan glanced at him, but he didn't do anything in the end, and went back to the palace directly.

Ling Tiancheng hadn't told her about Ye Yuanpei recently, she wrote a letter last time, and the other party didn't reply, of course, it could be because the road was too far, and the other party hadn't received it yet.

In short, Zhuang Siyan knows very little about Ye Yuanpei now, and she didn't deliberately inquire, just wait until she comes back from the south.

The palace also began to prepare for the New Year's holiday, but there were several important things to do before the holiday.

led the courtiers and palace concubines to worship their ancestors, and made a summary of the year.

Ling Tiancheng also has to have a dinner with all the courtiers, and the harem is the same, he wants to have a dinner, invite all the people, sing and dance lightly, eat a meal of delicacies, say good things to each other, and see you next year.

In fact, the way of working in ancient times and modern times is similar, but the name is different.

Zhuang Siyan didn't have anything to do, basically Ling Tiancheng told her which places to go, she cleaned up, put on orthodox palace makeup, and followed him.

Concubine Miao was on Ling Tiancheng's other side, although she still had a frosty face, she seemed to have changed a little from before.

Zhuang Siyan didn't ask Ling Tiancheng what method to use to subdue this femme fatale, in short, men always have their own ways to deal with women, especially rich and handsome men.

In the end, Concubine Miao is just one of Ling Tiancheng's harem, she can't afford it, even if she has the support of her family, what she wants is not cold treatment, but the emperor's sincerity.

It's just that Ling Tiancheng's sincerity has already been given to people, and they are only superficial for them.

The sacrificial ceremony, the hundred officials are ranked.

Among the harem concubines, only concubines and above can participate, and the other one is the Empress Dowager An.

Judging from the harem of the entire court situation, the An family still has a great advantage.

Zhuang Changyuan and Luo Ke are still ranked first among the hundred officials, and on the surface, they don't seem to have changed much from the past.

But Zhuang Changyuan's eyes burst out from time to time, he didn't look at Luo Ke directly, but glanced at Ling Tiancheng in the distance from time to time.

The letters found in Luo Ke's mansion have been delivered to him, although Zhuang Changyuan suspects that someone is sowing discord, but Luo Ke has hidden dangers in storing these letters.

This person was brought up by Zhuang Changyuan from the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would have hard wings now, but he would come to calculate himself.

Zhuang Changyuan sneered, he was really overwhelmed.

Not to mention that he is still Zhuang Xiangye, he is the head of the ministers of the court, even if he was demoted out of Beijing before, the snobbery in his hands has not been reduced by half a point.

Ling Tiancheng didn't kill him, not because he didn't find evidence, but because he didn't dare to touch him.

Zhuang Changyuan even thought that as long as Ling Tiancheng moved him, he would inevitably rebel, and whether he could succeed in this throne at that time depended on the Mandate of Heaven.

Sure enough, with such strength, he was released again.

And his daughter is also very competitive, she won the concubine position of the harem in one fell swoop, and now standing on Ling Tiancheng's side, looking at the world, she suddenly has a feeling of motherhood in the world.

Zhuang Changyuan felt that even if Luo Ke immediately turned his face with him, it would only be his own bad luck in the end, and Zhuang Changyuan would only get better and better.

Luo Ke's face looked very old, he was younger than Zhuang Changyuan, but his face looked like he was many years older.

And at this time, standing at the head of the ministers, he was silent, neither looking at Ling Tiancheng, nor rarely colliding with any minister.

He stood quietly, as if he were living in his own world, followed the command, and then retreated silently.

Zhuang Siyan looked at him much more than Zhuang Chang.

Because Luo Ke is so interesting, no matter what way you look at it, he is a person with a deep city, but he is controlled by Zhuang Changyuan.

From these few temptations of Ling Tiancheng, it can be seen that he still maintains Zhuang Changyuan in some aspects.

If they go down according to Luo Ke's state, it will take a lot of time for them to separate the two.

Fortunately, Zhuang Changyuan's thoughts are different from his.

Since Zhuang Changyuan saw those letters from Luo Kezang, his trust in him collapsed, and he began to let the people in the court and his faction take the lead.

In this kind of turbulent situation, Zhuang Siyan listened to what Ling Tiancheng said.

She didn't have the opportunity to listen to Nanchen Gate all the time, and she couldn't see these two adults at the same time, so this sacrificial ceremony was a rare opportunity.

Watching Luo Ke withdraw from a distance, Zhuang Changyuan's eyes became colder and colder, and Zhuang Siyan took his gaze back.

After the sacrifice, it is not a dinner with the courtiers.

In the past, this dinner was held on Xiaonian or Chinese New Year's Eve, but because of Ling Tiancheng's special arrangement, it was advanced this year.

The courtier's dinner was on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the harem's was completed on the day of the New Year.

Some people were suspicious, but Ling Tiancheng said that this year's weather was cold, and all the ministers were also working hard, and he was even more tired, so he had to seal the pen in advance.

Just like the current holiday, for the ministers who didn't want to go to the court, it couldn't be better, and the emperor made a good excuse for them, of course they obeyed.

Therefore, Ling Tiancheng's pen sealing ceremony was placed in the small year, that is, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Again, the ministers gathered together, and all kinds of cumbersome etiquette were set one after another.

Fortunately, Zhuang Siyan didn't have to participate in this kind of thing, she was trying her best to put palace makeup on herself in the Xuan Palace, preparing for the evening banquet.

This is a bigger banquet than Empress Dowager An's birthday, and everyone in the palace will go to participate, and there are many etiquette things.

So in addition to wearing one, she also prepared two sets for different occasions.

Zhuang Siyan muttered while changing clothes: "What is this, wearing so much, layer by layer, you can't walk." ”

Lan Xin put a light purple robe on her again, and said: "Niangniang, the palace makeup is like this, and now it's winter again, so naturally you have to wear thicker." ”

Zhuang Siyan rolled his eyes: "But it's really heavy?" ”

"Niang Niang endures it, and when it comes to the second half of the family banquet, she will change to another set."

Zhuang Siyan thought about peeling off layer by layer, and putting on another set layer by layer, which was really indescribable.

Even more terrifying is the headdress.

Gold hairpin jade face, plus a variety of headpieces, headbands and the like.

It was on par with the day she married into the palace, and she almost had to break her neck.

Zhuang Siyan couldn't stand it, so he took some off in the mirror and said, "It's too heavy." ”

Lan Xin immediately brought her back: "Niangniang, today is a rare feast, and once in a year, the mothers of each palace are competing to dress up, and we are already simple." ”
