Not long after Tuoba Hong left, the people in front of the palace came to spread the word and led a large group of palace people to Lin Yuan. It turned out that Tuoba Hong sent four grandmothers and four medical women to serve her, and also selected six palace maids and more than a dozen royal forest army attendants to guard the Scarlet Building, and instructed that Hui Jieyu must be safe. Having personally experienced the incident of Empress Xiao, Tuoba Hong was doubly careful with Lin Yuan, and almost surrounded the scarlet building impenetrable before he would give up.

Lin Yuan saw that Tuoba Hong was so attentive, she naturally liked it very much, Xindao and Ye Liangyuan had worked hard for most of the day, it was really worth the money, not only avenged Queen Xiao's past revenge, and her heart was refreshed, but also bluffed Tuoba Hong to hold her in the palm of her hand to protect her, for fear that she would be assassinated by someone with bad intentions. Since Tuoba Hong is willing to make a big effort, her baby will also save a lot of trouble.

She slept soundly this night, Imperial Doctor Wu dutifully prescribed her a recipe for food supplements, and the guards outside the Scarlet Building were crowded, which made people feel at ease, and the medicinal herbs rewarded by the Queen Mother over there also arrived after dinner. After Lin Yuan took the fetal pill, she climbed on the bed early, thinking about Queen Xiao's unlucky appearance in her mind, and laughed out loud.

The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the people had to go to their relatives, and the concubines of the palaces in the palace also visited each other and talked enthusiastically. It's just that the New Year of the ninth year of Qianwu has been extraordinary, first a Wei family sealed Concubine Jing, and then Lin Yuan was pregnant and sealed Concubine Hui, Huayang Palace is so hot that it is about to be cooked. The concubines of each palace did not go anywhere else, and they all picked up the feng shui treasure of Huayang Palace, and there was an endless stream of visits to visit.

There are a lot of people in Concubine Jing, and there are more people here in Lin Yuan, and those concubines visit the main hall first according to the rules, hugging Concubine Jing's thighs and coming to the side hall to hug Lin Yuan, they are not too tossed. In the end, Concubine Jing came up with an idea and called out all the concubines of the entire Huayang Palace, and everyone sat together in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and the visitors also came over to talk and have fun, so that there was no need to run at both ends.

The lotus pond in the front yard of the Hehuan Hall is not small, and it is a good place to enjoy the scenery in summer, but it is covered with a thick layer of ice in winter. Concubine Jing and Lin Yuan were wrapped in heavy robes, and they sat in a group in the pavilion, and a pot of mutton was cooked on the small table in the middle, which was naturally Qi Ronghua's idea. This idea is not not rancid, Huayang Palace is a swaggering fragrant dumpling, Qi Ronghua's hand-cooked mutton pot is fragrant for ten miles, and the concubines who came to visit were eating and drinking while rubbing Concubine Jing's thighs in the winter, and they didn't want to leave when they came, and finally more and more people gathered around.

Concubine Jing has a wooden face, she is a quiet and elegant character, and she doesn't like meat very much. She looked at the crowd around her that was as lively as the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival, her ears were buzzing, and she sighed and fished in the pot with chopsticks. As a result, as soon as I caught a piece of oyster mushroom, I was hit by a few concubines who were playing with the pitcher at the back, and my hand slipped, and the oyster mushroom fell. Fishing again, the oyster mushroom has been snatched away by Lin Yuan with a chopstick, but fortunately, I saw another yam in the corner, and before the chopsticks were lowered, Lin Yuan's second chopsticks had already come up.

Concubine Jing, a pampered county lord, shouldn't sit down with Lin Yuan and Qi Ronghua to eat. Concubine Jing dealt with the group of sisters, and before she had eaten lunch, all that was left in the pot was mutton. She was so hungry that she didn't care to pick and choose, and finally reached out and aimed her chopsticks at the mutton. As a result, Qi Ronghua forked a chopstick, and Concubine Jing only saw a phantom in front of her, and then looked at the pot, the clean soup, there was no shredded meat left.

Lin Yuan is happy to eat, she is not taboo about anything, in this kind of public occasion, no fool will drug in the pot. Huayang Palace was lively all day, and finally at dusk, there were still a few visitors who did not leave.

Liu Jieyu of Yanqing Palace still holds a big spoon to eat in the pot, she loves to drink soup very much, and she praises Qi Ronghua's craftsmanship by eating one wall and one wall. Xu Ronghua has a good relationship with anyone, and at this time he took Concubine Jing's hand and talked about the clothes and jewelry that the emperor had just given her: "Concubine Jing Niangniang is the person who has a blessing, the Dadong pearl is the size of a fist, and it is a treasure that Dali has fished from the deep sea in the south, and it is the only one in the world." The sisters next to me couldn't look at it, so the emperor rewarded the mother......"

Concubine Jing was tired and hungry, and she was in no mood to think about Dongzhu, but in the face of Xu Ronghua in front of her, she still had to deal with it with all her heart. Xu Ronghua is also a character, five years ago he was just a small talent, and later entered the Yongshou Palace and attached himself to Concubine Shen Rou, and some people relied on him, but he was still not favored. I didn't want to be mixed with a serious Ronghua master five years later, and Concubine Shen went to Huangquan early.

"It's so good, Huayang Palace hasn't been lively for a long time." Zhang Wanyi was sincerely happy on her face. She looked at Concubine Jing with a smile, and said with a sigh: "It's been five years, Huayang Palace is a backwater, and after you recover from your illness, this Huayang Palace can be regarded as having some vitality." Now the concubine is also here......"

Lin Yuan didn't reply to her words, she was still playing pitching with Fang Cairen, and her interest was high. Although I have a body, I don't feel anything, and I don't have to the point of delaying eating, drinking, and having fun. Concubine Jing smiled gently, and also sighed: "Yes, this Huayang Palace surprised me lively." ”

"Almost all the sisters in the palace have been here, except for Tian Concubine and Wen Concubine......" Zhang Wanyi counted with her fingers, and raised her face and smiled: "Originally, everyone went to Changxin Palace to visit during the festival, but today is not an ordinary day, the queen mother went out of the palace and returned to her mother's house to save her relatives, and our Huayang Palace has become a unique liveliness." ”

"Concubine Wen has always been like that, let her come over and smile with you, don't think about it in this life." Liu Jieyu said casually. Concubine Wen's popularity in the palace is really not very good, and she looks like she doesn't answer all day long, as if others can't get into her eyes.

"Concubine Wen Niangniang is okay to say, Concubine Tian Niangniang is afraid that she is angry in her own palace." A beauty behind Liu Jieyu smiled happily and said: "Hui Concubine Niangniang is pregnant, and she is on an equal footing, she must be delicious in her heart." ”

This beauty surnamed Mu is not a smart person, and she can't speak well. Lin Yuan only smiled and said nothing when she heard it, but she thought about the concubine of the Chu family, Chu Hua, who was scheming and had a prominent family background. It's a tough guy to deal with.

The concubine left the palace, Concubine Shen died, and now the emperor obviously helped Concubine Jing up, but there is still one person missing. If her guess was right, that person should have been Chu Huasheng.

In Lin Yuan's opinion, Tuoba Hong should have wanted to kill Shen Yunrong a long time ago. When he was promoted to Chu Huashang as Rong Hua, he had the idea of letting her replace the Shen family, but later the concubine gave birth to twin princes and was forced to leave the palace, which Tuoba Hong really didn't expect and was caught off guard. Fortunately, Wei Mizhuang woke up overnight and temporarily made up for the shortage, the two corners are not as stable as the three corners, at least better than Queen Xiao's standout.

Now Chu Huashang's qualifications are still shallow, and he will slowly cultivate them in the future, and he will eventually achieve the effect that satisfies Tuoba Hong. But now it seems that the situation has gone a little unexpectedly.

That accident was Lin Yuan herself. Lin Yuan had already felt this.

Takubahiro was too fond of her. So the emperor began to want to change his plan - compared to Chu Huasheng, he wanted to support Lin Yuan, who he liked more, to fill that corner. After King Mu Wu was executed, the military aircraft department was established, and the Shen family was raided, the young and humiliated emperor had more and more confidence, and began to do things willfully according to his own preferences. He has more and more power in his hands, and he doesn't have to worry that if he doesn't give Chu Huashang a high position, General Chu will lose his loyalty.

I believe that Chu Huashang also felt this crisis.

I smiled secretly in my heart, do you want to compete with her Lin Yuan? Oh, let's see.

Concubine Jing listened to the greetings of the people around her, but she was not very happy in her heart. That Zhang Wanyi is still the same as five years ago, and she hasn't grown at all! On the day of the big day, the lights in Huayang Palace are just happy, and the Xiao family is still mentioned.

These concubines all envied her and Lin Yuan, and ran over to make friends, but no matter how favored they were, they couldn't compare with Queen Xiao. Even if Xiao is not loved by the emperor, she was splashed with dirty water yesterday because of Lin Yuan's pregnancy, and her situation is becoming more and more difficult, but these cannot change the fact that she is the emperor's wife. The second day of the first month has always been the day when the married girl returns to the door, and in the entire harem, there is only one Queen Xiao who can return to her mother's house on this day.

Concubine Jing Concubine Jing, that's a good thing to say! Listed from the first grade, depending on the prime minister, the prince than the princes! But after all, she is not a concubine!

It's only to blame her father for his early death and the family's downfall, otherwise with her status as a dignified county lord, how can she be inferior to Queen Xiao! At the beginning, Tuoba Hong was still the crown prince, and his status was unstable, so in order to win the heir, he could only marry the daughter of Xiao Gelao, who held great power. If she was prominent in her family, it was not impossible......

At nightfall, Liu Jieyu, who had been noisy all day, finally had the intention of going. Qi Ronghua was generous, and each person sent a food box, which contained crystal sauce elbows, bean sauce roasted deer tails, marinated upper rows, and air-dried chicken with wine, which were the four famous dishes in her hometown of Jiangzhou, and sent everyone outside the palace gate with a smile, waving a handkerchief and saying: "Ming'er will play again!" ”

Concubine Jing on the side rolled her eyes and glared at her.

finally sent people away, and Qi Ronghua and the others also returned to the palace separately. Concubine Jing rubbed her sore forehead, glanced at Lin Yuan, who was cleaning up the pitcher with her own hands, and felt a little bored.

Lin is not very old, and she is cautious, and she was found playing pai gow in the house two days ago. But such a person who seems to be quite easy to deal with is very deep in the city.

Qi Ronghua is really lazy and unenterprising, but the Lin family is different.
