Lingxi saluted Xiao and the Empress Dowager and retired, and sat back in his place.

With filial piety on his head and the step shake on the hairpin of the Empress Dowager's own hand, Lingxi felt that his heart was clear. She swept the expressions of everyone in the hall again, and then lowered her eyes to look at the plates of delicacies on the table.

The deceased is gone, she shouldn't worry about it at this time, she is indeed confused.

Concubine Rou saw Lingxi sitting back on her seat, turned her head and smiled at Xiao He and the Empress Dowager, and said coquettishly, "Empress Dowager, the concubines don't follow!" You love Concubine Ying, but you don't care about the concubines. ”

Concubine Rou's coquettishness attracted the eyes of the concubines to Lingxi to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe smiled, raised her hand and pointed at Concubine Rou and said, "You are jealous, and you are worried about even shaking you with one step!" Not to mention how many things the mourning family rewarded him when the second prince got married. ”

"If you don't do it, you don't do it, the concubine just doesn't follow." Concubine Rou looked at Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager with watery eyes, twisted her body, and the dripping hairpin on her head shook slightly, "What the Empress Dowager gave to the second prince was for the second prince, not for the concubine, and the concubine did not follow." ”

The Empress Dowager laughed, turned around and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Emperor, don't you stand up to relieve the mourning family?" ”

Emperor Yong'an smiled, looked at Concubine Rou, and then looked at the concubines in the hall, and said cheerfully, "I ordered the palace bureau to make a special step shake for each of you, what do you think?" ”

All the concubines got up one after another and thanked Emperor Yong'an in unison.

After the concubines sat down again, Emperor Yong'an looked at Lingxi again, and said with a smile, "But without Concubine Ying's share, who let her get the grace of the Empress Dowager first?" ”

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yong'an's eyes full of smiles. His eyes moved slightly, Lingxi pouted, and complained, "I didn't expect the emperor to be so stingy." ”

Saying that, his body twisted, full of vinegar, "The emperor doesn't reward his concubines, and he is thankful for his concubines." ”

As soon as Lingxi's words came out of his son, all the concubines in the hall laughed.

The five princesses and the five princes were young, and they sat on a small table beside Lingxi. After listening to Lingxi's words, the fifth prince got up from his seat, walked to Lingxi's side, pulled Lingxi's wide sleeves, and said loudly in a milky voice, "Mother, mother, my father gave Yi'er a lot of steps, all of them are mother's, all are mother's." ”

The concubines in the palace laughed louder, and for a while there was laughter in the palace.

The fifth princess stood up, and after walking out, she first blessed Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yong'an, and then took the hands of the five princes, and said sensibly, "Fifth Emperor Brother, sit back with my sister." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe fell her gaze on the fifth princess, and the smile on her face became kind, "This is Qingmu." ”

When the Empress Dowager Xiaohe left the palace, the five princesses had not yet been born, so the five princesses had not seen the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

The fifth princess stepped forward and performed a standard palace salute to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said in a way that looked like a little adult, "If you return to the words of the imperial grandmother, it is Qingmu." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe saw that the fifth princess looked very fond of it, so she beckoned to the fifth princess and said with a smile, "Come, Qing Mu'er come to the great grandmother and let the great grandmother take a good look." Yi'er also came over ......"

The fifth princess turned around and took the hands of the five princes and walked to the side of Xiao and the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Xiao hugged the five princesses in her arms, pinched the five princesses' tender little faces, and exclaimed, "Yo, look at our Qingmu's little faces, it's really beautiful, and when she grows up, she must be a beautiful woman who will captivate the city and the country." ”

The fifth princess raised her head, bent her big eyes and smiled, "Grandmother Huang, Mu'er heard from her mother that Mu'er is three points similar to Grandmother Huang'er between her eyebrows and eyes. The imperial grandmother must have been a great beauty when she was young, so Mu'er is now a little beauty......"

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe laughed when she heard this, turned around and pointed at Lingxi and said, "You girl! Tell the five princesses everything, this is good, if the mourning family doesn't say that she was a beauty when she was young, it seems to say that the five princesses are not good-looking. ”

Lingxi was surprised by the words and deeds of the fifth princess, but she still had a smile on her face, and said with a slight grievance in her tone, "The concubine is not wrong, if you don't believe in the ancestors, you can ask Concubine Rou, Concubine Ren, and other sisters." ”

How dare Concubine Rou and Concubine Renfei and others disobey Lingxi's words? They have praised filial piety and the Empress Dowager for her appearance when she was young, and now she is also graceful and luxurious.

Seeing Xiao and the Empress Dowager and the Five Princesses smiling happily, the five princes turned around and walked to Emperor Yong'an's side.

Climbing up to Emperor Yong'an's knees with his hands and feet, the five princes hugged Emperor Yong'an's neck and said, "Father, hug." ”

Emperor Yong'an put down the wine cup in his hand, hugged the five princes into his arms, looked up at Lingxi, who was smiling lightly with his head down, lowered his head to look at the five princes, and asked with a smile, "Why hasn't Yi'er come to the Zichen Palace to greet his father these days?" ”

Lingxi stood in front of his seat, watching the five princesses and the five princes surrounding Xiaohe Empress Dowager and Emperor Yong'an, with a smile on his face and a nervous heart.

Although the fifth princess is young, she has a lot of scheming. Lingxi is really afraid that this little doll will make some amazing moves in front of Xiao and the Empress Dowager at this time.

The fifth prince was young, and he didn't know what he would say to Emperor Yong'an.

And in the eyes of others, Lingxi is undoubtedly lucky.

A daughter, although she is not biological, is of one heart and one mind, and will please the Queen Mother. A son, who was very loved by Emperor Yong'an, became the king at a young age, and did not worry about wealth and wealth in his life.

Xian Guifei stood behind Concubine Rou, looking at the five princesses and the five princes with mixed tastes in their hearts. She looked down at the small table beside her, the third prince, who was half a year younger than the fifth princess, was holding a glass cup to play with the soup on the table.

As if sensing the gaze of the Xian Gui Concubine, the third prince raised his head, smiled stupidly at the Xian Gui Concubine, and shouted, "Mother ......"

The voice of the third prince was not small, and even the Empress Dowager Xiaohe and Emperor Yong'an, who were sitting on the main seat, heard it.

Xian Guifei was startled, and hurriedly took a step forward, bowed down to Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager of Xiaohe, and said, "Emperor Qi, Empress Dowager Qi, the third prince is sleepy, the concubine retired first, and took him back to rest." ”

Emperor Yong'an bowed slightly, and said, "It's not appropriate for the eighth prince to be in the palace himself, so you can take the third prince back first." ”

Xian Guifei nodded slightly, got up and left the table with the three princes.

Fang Meiren, who was sitting in the back corner, stepped forward slowly, blessed Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and said, "Qi Emperor, Qi Empress Dowager." The seventh princess was young, and the concubines in the palace couldn't rest assured, and the concubines retired first. ”

Fang Meiren has fallen out of favor since she gave birth to the seventh princess, and now she only cares about the seventh princess in Mengzhuxuan, ignoring what happened in the harem.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe raised her head, looked at Fang Meiren's dress, and asked Emperor Yong'an out loud, "Which palace is this?" ”

Emperor Yong'an was playing with the five princes, and was slightly stunned by Xiao and the Empress Dowager, looking at Fang Mei's heart, he knew which one it was, but he couldn't say it.

Concubine Rou's beautiful eyes swept her eyes at Fang Meiren, and she continued softly, "Back to the Empress Dowager, this is the Fang beauty of Mengzhuxuan in the Forgotten Palace, the biological mother of the Seventh Princess." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe nodded slightly, and smiled at Fang Meiren below, "Fang Meiren, the seventh princess is almost five months old." ”

Fang Meiren replied respectfully, "Back to the Empress Dowager, the Seventh Princess has been four and a half months. ”

"Good, very good!" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe turned back to Emperor Yong'an and said, "The mourning family likes the princess, she looks pink and tender, and she is the same as a flower." ”

As he spoke, he took off an agate ring from his hand, asked Zhiqiu to hand it to Fang Meiren, and said, "This is the Mourning Family's reward for the Seventh Princess to play with as a great grandmother." Don't be stuffy in the palace when you're fine, and when the weather is warm, you can hold the seventh princess and sit in the Changle Hall of the mourning family. ”

Fang Meiren took the agate ring, and stepped back with a blank thanks.

Lingxi took the opportunity to beckon to the five princes who were tired of being in the arms of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yong'an, and the two little ones immediately returned to Lingxi's side sensibly.

After the five princesses and the five princes returned to the throne, Concubine Rou took the lead and laughed again. Lingxi was so troubled by the middle of the matter, and he no longer ate and drank for the sake of his own reasons. Occasionally, when the atmosphere is good, I will raise a glass to Emperor Yong'an.

"Woo~"

As soon as the time came, the fireworks outside the Baohe Hall exploded, and the ninth year of Yong'an arrived.

Emperor Yong'an stood up, raised his glass to the concubines of the palace who also got up, and said in a loud voice with a flying expression, "I wish me a great success, smooth wind and rain, peace and security of the country and the people, prosperity, and ministers from all over the world!" ”

Drinking the contents of the cup, Emperor Yong'an sat down with the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

The concubines in the palace are from the high concubines to the low concubines, or two or several people, who have stepped forward to ask Emperor Yongan and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe to greet the New Year.

After the concubines, there are all the princes and princesses. Then there are the granddaughters of the emperor's grandson and grandson on the palace of King Ning and the second prince's mansion.

---------------------

When Lingxi returned to the Lingyan Hall with the sleepy five princesses and the five princes, it was already an ugly moment. Seeing that the courtyard was lit by the palace lights lit by red candles, Lingxi smiled at the lotus leaf and said lightly, "How fast, a year has passed like this." At this time last year, I was still in the cold palace, and I couldn't survive, I couldn't die......"

Lotus Ye helped Lingxi to the cloister and said with a smile, "Niangniang is now bitter, and the future will be smooth." ”

Lingxi drank a little too much, and said to the lotus leaf with a flushed face, "You can speak." ”

Qiaozhu came out of the middle room, saw the anxiety behind the Lingxi, and said, "Niangniang, Wan Concubine went out when she was in time, and she hasn't come back yet." ”
