On that day, Lin Yuan mentioned the draft in Changxin Palace, which caused the queen to be furious, and only half a month later, Changle Palace issued a decree to set the draft in February of the following year.

There was a slight turmoil in the palace, and Empress Shangguan went to Changle Palace to meet the Queen Mother, and she did not refute the Queen Mother's decree, but said with a smile: "The Queen Mother thinks about things much more thoroughly than the concubines." ”

did not surprise Lin Yuan, the queen mother would advocate the draft, and the queen immediately expressed her obedience,

The Queen Mother smiled lightly: "The queen thinks about the queen first, and she is unwilling to draft as soon as possible, which is also good." ”

The queen had a big quarrel with her favorite concubine Hui Zhaoyuan because of the choice of a woman, and the name of jealousy was revealed, but the queen mother did not blame her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law maintain a harmonious faction.

The palace became more and more calm. The queen and Lin Yuan were overpowered, Concubine Jing looked submissive, Zhao Zhaoyi concentrated on raising her two daughters, and the concubines next to her were even more unable to compete with the queen. The harem is much more stable than when the queen was there.

Because of this stability, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor praised the empress's motherly demeanor in front of hundreds of officials. Shangguan Li accompanied the emperor to accept the worship, and the queen's phoenix robe and makeup sat on the head, and her appearance was bright, and from a distance, the two emperors were really a perfect match for the dragon and phoenix. However, who among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital is a fool, many people secretly pouted, what is the queen of Shangguan, the people of the world are clear in their hearts.

For three days after Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor stayed at Changxin Palace. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the envoys arrived in the capital, and after a busy day, Tuoba Hong went to Changxin Palace at night.

Passing through the Qinghui Pavilion of the Guanlian Institute, I met a woman playing in the snowy night. After that, I don't know what happened, the emperor never went to Changxin Palace, and finally returned to Jianzhang Palace to recruit someone to sleep.

On the second day, Hualiang was favored overnight and promoted to a nobleman.

The people in the palace came to Changxin Palace early to say goodbye, and stretched their necks to see the excitement of the queen and the nobles. It's a pity that the queen drove to Mingxia Mountain early in the morning today, and hung the concubines in front of Changxin Palace.

The concubines came in groups of three or five, and after kowtowing to the closed vermilion palace gate, they gathered together and talked for a long time, but the queen did not come back. Only then did he stop his curiosity and return to the palace in a hurry. The concubine led the five princes to help her return to the palace, and saw the noble man standing alone under the wall, playing with a tender yellow palace pink plum in his hand, smiling inexplicably on his face, and whispering to the palace maid beside him: "Don't look at this Hua's family is from the palace, it looks like a blessed person - but the servant has only been sealed for two levels, and the queen mother is not looking for trouble with her." ”

She could see that Empress Shangguan didn't want to get along with Fahrenheit at all.

Otherwise, Xuan He of the above official clan, as long as she wants, even if she beats Hua Wanying to death. The emperor's affection for her is not comparable to Hua's, and Hua Wanying's background is lowly, and the officials will not say anything if they know it.

A lowly dancer, when she dies, she dies.

"What are you looking at?" A woman's delicate voice came. Lin Yuan took Xiao Chengzi's hand and approached, and glanced at the concubine with a smile: "The plum blossoms around the Changxin Palace are blooming, I see that the concubine seems to like it very much, and I am fascinated by it." ”

Lin Yuan has always loved plums, and she liked plum blossom dew a few years ago, and the Mirror Moon Pavilion where she once lived was in the middle of the plum forest. On the side, Wang Xuanzhi diligently went to fold a few plum blossoms of various colors and came to hold them to her.

Wang Xuanzhi was favored a year ago, but then he was not good. Her good skills in boiling lotus root flour and massage were gradually forgotten by the emperor.

She thought about thinking of another way to be pampered, but Lin Yuan warned her to be cautious in the past two years and not to be in the limelight again. She didn't know what Lin Yuan was having, but she didn't dare to disobey, and she was silent for a long time, serving around Lin Yuan as if she was a palace maid.

Lin Yuan picked out a water plum, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, turned his head and kindly stuffed the flowers into the hands of the five princes.

The concubine shrank her feet, stopped and sneered at Lin Yuan: "Jue'er is a boy, and she doesn't like these flowers and plants, she only likes the jade and golden knives rewarded by the emperor." ”

"Oh, yes." Lin Yuan smiled lightly, and the plum branch in her hand fell to the ground lightly. She smiled clearly: "The fifth prince only likes swords? That's really living up to the emperor's expectations......"

Concubine Jin bit her lip slightly.

"Well, this palace is not here to tell you about the ...... of the five princes today" Lin Yuan approached her and said in a low voice: "You are afraid of the queen, but Concubine Jing is not a good choice." You can do it for yourself in the future - remember not to go against the noble man easily, I have a headache for that woman, let alone you. ”

After that, he took his own Kiki and left.

"Mother, I heard that my fifth brother has been playing with those knives and bows and arrows all day long." Halfway through, Qiqi frowned and said to Lin Yuan: "Yesterday, my father led me to play in Jianzhang Palace, and he told me that I am not young, and I should study earlier." also said that the fifth brother is a promising child, so he found a master to learn martial arts at a young age. ”

Lin Yuan looked into his eyes: "Qiqi, what do you want to say?" ”

"Mother, I don't think I should be playful all day." The little child sighed like an adult, and the pouting mouth and gloomy eyes made people feel no sad emotion, only a sense of funny.

Lin Yuan sneered.

She pinched Tuoba Qi's little ears: "Your father coaxed you." How old are you, studying? It's not too late to wait two years. ”

Tuoba Qi still sighed: "Although I like to play, I also know that children who can study and learn martial arts are happy when my father sees it." ”

I can't help but think of the fifth brother again, he went to Changle Palace a few years ago and played with the fifth brother several times. He could see that his brother, who was not more than a few months older than him, was not born with a penchant for martial arts - his favorite was the juju ball and the tangram. Whenever he went to Changle Palace to accompany his grandmother, the fifth brother was very happy to tell his grandmother how much he liked those swords made of jade, and when he turned around, he hid in the corner of the side hall and took out the tangram from his cuffs to play secretly.

Tuoba Qi's children were speechless about this, he had seen all the things that his father gave to the fifth brother, what kind of small wooden swords, small bows and arrows, etc., as well as the picture book of the martial arts moves of the god horse. It was all boring stuff, and the only thing he was interested in was the booklet, which was covered with thin paper, and he had done it in his previous life, which was quite fun.

However, I have to say that the fifth brother's efforts have paid off, at least now his father has begun to praise him.

Tuoba Qi's children understand that if they want to get, they have to pay, should they also ...... Well, that hundred family names and thousand-character texts, the Confucius Zilu of the gods, although it looks like a headache, it is not too difficult.

What he and the fifth brother are fighting about is not the question of who their father praises, but the future of the two of them. The royal family is no better than elsewhere, his mother told him earlier, there is only one person who wins in the end, and the one who loses is not only lost, but also can't save his life.

Thinking about it, Lin Yuan patted him on the head: "What does Qiqi want to play today?" Hear your nurse say you want a slingshot? Okay, my mother will play when she is a child, so I'll make one for you. ”

"Mother-" Kiki glared at her with wide eyes, and stopped talking.

"How can you compare yourself with your fifth brother!" Lin Yuan pouted and looked at him: "You just put a hundred hearts, even if your fifth brother cantilever his head is hanging all day long, and you play until you are seven years old regardless of it, your father still likes you better than your fifth brother - you are so blessed in life, clever and smart, your fifth brother's stupid melon still wants to compare with you?" Said with disdain: "Your third brother and fourth brother, you don't have to think about it in your life, neither of them is even qualified to compete with you." Look at your eldest brother again, that's even more stupid, even more stupid than your fifth brother. ”

"Oh!" Tuoba Qi nodded heavily: "It turns out that my brothers are stupid!" ”

"Of course." Lin Yuan looked confident: "Go back and play shuttlecock first, Ming'er Niang will find a slingshot to make it for you." ”

In Lin Yuan's eyes, his son is naturally not comparable to other people's sons. Although she saw that King Zhao had worked harder and harder since he was nine years old, and that the fifth prince had hired a martial arts master before he was three years old, she didn't think that her Qiqi needed to be like them.

Kiki has worked hard enough, living carefully every day, and always looking at other people's faces when she meets with the concubines. She didn't want to put any more pressure on Kiki.

***

A few days later, Empress Shangguan still didn't bother the nobles.

However, the concubine took the five princes and ran very diligently to the two places of Changle Palace and Jianzhang Palace. Zhao Zhaoyi said to Lin Yuan in private: "A few years ago, the concubine looked at herself and kept to herself, but now she is more and more eager for quick success. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "With a prince in his hands, he always has to be impatient. Saying that, something suddenly came to mind: "Since the queen was established, although Concubine Jing has been dormant, she has been walking to Changle Palace from time to time to serve the queen mother. ”

Zhao Zhaoyi didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Concubine Jing...... She won't give up, so what if the queen is powerful. When the two of them confront, we will have a lively look. ”

Lin Yuan lowered her eyes and was silent. The idea in my heart was gradually confirmed, and Concubine Jing was between the queen and Concubine Jing, and after all, Concubine Jing was chosen.

She has always been Concubine Jing's dark line, and rarely visits Huayang Palace.

They had to meet in Changle Palace every day.

Ye Xiuxin sent letters to Lin Yuan more than once, begging her to get rid of the concubine as soon as possible. But Lin Yuan didn't want the concubine to disappear so quickly, so she was just perfunctory.

When Concubine Luo Xiyu first entered the palace, she lived in Lintoe Palace and became a person of Shangguan Li. It's just that he later surrendered to Concubine Jing.

Shangguan Li's journey from Concubine Xiang to the successor was bumpy. When she returned three years after leaving the palace, she saw that the rest of the palace concubines in Lintoe Palace, such as Feng Zhuangji and An Xiaoyi, had long since fallen out of favor due to the defeat of the lord.

Dudu's concubine not only did not fall silent, but also became the adoptive mother of the five princes.

Shangguan Li is such a smart person, even if he doesn't start a thorough investigation, he can guess the trick based on this alone.
