Li Lingyun is 18 years old this year, and he married Zhu Xiaoxiao, the granddaughter of Zhu Xian's cousin, as the princess of the emperor in the first year of Yong'an.

The reason why Lingxi rejected Li Lingyun was not unrelated to Li Lingyun's saying that he liked himself and taking all his wives and concubines into his arms.

She is the thinking of modern people, and she pursues a lifetime and a couple. He can't ask Li Lingyun, who is the eldest son of the emperor, to refuse the beauty of the world for her, so he can only change to an honest lover and not let himself compete with many women for a man all day long.

But right now, if she wants to leave the palace, she has to trouble Li Lingyun. As long as Li Lingyun said a word, it would be much easier for her to get the note to leave the palace.

This great grace will be remembered by her. As long as Li Lingyun does not restrict her freedom after leaving the palace, she is willing to repay her in any way, including her body.

Lingxi counted the days in his heart, and set the time to meet Li Lingyun on December 23.

That day was the day when the Lord of the Stove went to heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor on the good and evil of the year in the world. On the morning of that day, the queen would bring the harem concubines to the sacrificial stove. The emperor will test what the princes have learned in the imperial study for a year, and this test is one day. In the evening, the emperor and empress would hold a banquet in the harem to have fun with the princes.

On that day, the emperor and the prince would be very casual, just like ordinary people's homes. After the palace banquet, all the princes will stay in the palace and have breakfast with the emperor and queen the next day before leaving.

Although Emperor Yong'an only has two princes, this ancestral system will not be abolished. On December 23, Li Lingyun will definitely appear in the harem.

In the Half Moon Pavilion, Lingxi signaled to the beautiful woman to send the palace maid Wenpo away, and told the beautiful woman her thoughts.

The beautiful woman shook her head vigorously, the steps on her head shook slightly, and her brows twisted into a pimple, "You just need to find someone to pass on a message, why do you have to go to see him in person?" ”

"Father-in-law Qian is dead, and there is no one in this harem who can help me spread the word." Lingxi's move was also helpless. Besides, she must make it clear to Li Lingyun face to face, otherwise she is afraid that Li Lingyun will mistakenly think that she has agreed to enter the prince's mansion. And these words are beyond the reach of those who speak them.

"The palace maid has a private meeting with the prince, but it is a capital crime!" Xian Meiren lowered her voice and said, "It's really so bad to be the emperor's concubine?" At that time, we can be called sisters in front of people, as long as you and I support each other and be cautious, I am afraid that there will be no place in this harem......"

"Sister, don't say it......" Lingxi shook her head to interrupt the words of the beautiful woman, looked directly at the beautiful woman's watery eyes and said, "I have made up my mind, we still have my father and mother outside the palace to support, they are old and ......"

Moreover, Princess Allure is still waiting for her, Lingxi is afraid that she will leave the palace late, and Princess Allure will leave first.

The beautiful woman leaned on the bed, closed her eyes, her chest fell together, and after a long time, she opened her eyes and said, "Even if the eldest prince will enter the harem that day, you can't go to the imperial study to deliver a message to him,"

Lingxi nodded, and his heart was even more flustered. If it had been before, she would have dared to walk around the Taiji Palace. But now, when she thinks of Emperor Yong'an's eyes that day, she trembles from the bottom of her heart.

"You also need a place where you can speak quietly." Xian Meiren had a rare calmness, and analyzed carefully, "So, you still need someone who can pass on a few simple words." Let's do it......"

Seeing Lingxi's eyes showing doubts, she was graceful, "Xiang'er is the maid I married in, although she is not as loyal to me as she is to the real Miss Situ, but if something happens to me, she is not much better." Besides, now that I am shouldering the glory of the entire Situ family, I can rest assured that this little thing is left to her. Don't tell her why, just let her simply pass on two sentences, and the rest will depend on whether the eldest prince has the same heart as you......"

Lingxi thought about the proposal of the beautiful man, although it was not a perfect solution, but there was no other way at the moment.

Seeing Lingxi nodding, the graceful woman said again, "As for the place where you meet, you can't put it in the Yongshou Palace." After the death of Gonggong Qian, Yongshou Palace will have a new eunuch in charge, and it is too dangerous for you and the eldest prince to meet there. ”

Lingxi Willow frowned slightly, "But apart from the Eternal Life Palace, aren't other palaces more dangerous?" If you are found outside by the guards who are watching the night......"

"So, you go to the Deyang Hall of Guangyang Palace. It had just been renovated and there were no concubines living there. That night, I made some slight movement in this half-moon pavilion, and I will definitely attract the attention of several other concubines in Guangyang Palace here, you and the eldest prince have something to say quickly," the beautiful woman held Lingxi's hand tightly, "You have endured hardships in the palace for eight years, if you can go out of the palace to find a good family, live a good life, and honor my father and mother, I will be relieved in the palace." ”

Lingxi nodded, she always thought that Xian Meiren was a timid person, but she didn't want a timid person to plan things, so she was more cautious. According to the method of the beautiful woman, she will definitely be able to make things clear to Li Lingyun.

The days came in a blink of an eye, and it was December 23 of the third year of Yong'an.

The eldest prince Li Lingyun has not come out since he entered the imperial study in the morning, and even lunch is used in the imperial study with Emperor Yongan and the second prince Li Lingfeng. By the time Xiang Er saw Li Ling, it was already time to hold the lamp.

Li Lingyun came out with Li Lingfeng, and the two were still arguing about the art of war proposed by Emperor Yong'an in the imperial study.

Xiang Er was wearing the clothes worn by the inferior palace maids, and suddenly knelt in front of Li Lingyun, interrupting the two brothers' talk.

The eunuch in front of Li Lingyun shouted loudly, "Which palace maid, don't be rude!" ”

Xiang Er kowtowed to Li Lingyun and said in a voice like a mosquito, "The slave maid is from the Yongshou Palace." ”

There is no master in the Yongshou Palace, and as soon as Xiang Er said these three words, Li Lingyun reacted violently that this palace maid was sent by Lingxi.

"It must be a red plum blossom!" Li Lingyun reacted very quickly, and said with a smile, "You are from Luo Meixuan." ”

When Xiang Er heard the word Luomei Xuan, it was the last time Lingxi folded plums, and he only knew that it was a place to raise flowers and plants. So he said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, it's the red plum blossoms." ”

"I didn't expect the royal brother to have this interest." Li Lingfeng said with a smile.

"It's just some flowers and plants," Li Lingyun said to Li Lingfeng, "You go over first, and I'll go over after I personally fold a few red plums." ”

Li Lingfeng smiled without saying a word, and walked away with the eunuchs beside him.

Li Lingyun called Xiang Er, and the group went in the direction of Yongshou Palace, and when they were halfway through, Xiang Er caught up with Li Lingyun in a few steps, "His Royal Highness, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Li Lingyun retreated clearly, and Xiang Er said in a low voice, "Deyang Palace......"

On the palace banquet where Emperor Yongan and the prince enjoyed together, Aoxue Hongmei appeared again.

Emperor Yong'an sniffed the plum fragrance in the hall, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the eldest prince Li Lingyun and said, "You still know your father's intentions!" ”

Li Lingyun rarely received the praise of Emperor Yong'an, stood up and arched his hand, "As long as the father is happy, no matter what son he is, he will find it for his father!" ”

Half Moon Pavilion of Guangyang Palace

The beautiful woman sat on the low kang, holding her huge belly with both hands, and said to Xiang Er in a slightly anxious tone, "Can you bring the words?" ”

Xiang Er saluted to the beautiful woman, "The slave said to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the three o'clock Deyang Palace." ”

"Can anyone see or hear?"

Xiang Er shook his head, "When the slave and the eldest prince were talking, they were on the way to Yongshou Palace, and there was no one else. ”

After hearing this, the beautiful woman put her heart in her stomach, and after sending Xiang Er away, the beautiful woman beckoned to Lingxi, "The word has arrived, whether he comes or not, it depends on your life......"

Lingxi's palms were cold, and she didn't know if Li Lingyun was really willing to take risks for herself.

"Click"

The silver pendant on the top of the incense bell fell into the copper plate under the incense bell, and it was time.

The incense clock, so Ming Siyi, is a clock made of incense. Scales are engraved on the incense of large plants, and a small silver pendant will be carefully dropped on each scale, and when the incense burns there, the silver pendant will fall into the copper plate below, making a crisp sound.

Both the beautiful and the Lingxi heard the small voice, and both had nervous expressions on their faces.

Xian Meiren covered her chest, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said, "You change your clothes, get ready, and walk the path to the Deyang Palace." ”

Lingxi nodded, stood up from the low table next to the kang, and his hands trembled slightly.

The beautiful woman reached out and took Lingxi's hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't miss this opportunity." ”

After Lingxi shook the hand of the beautiful woman back, he turned around and walked out of the Half Moon Pavilion.

Less than two quarters of an hour after Lingxi came out of the Half Moon Pavilion, Xiang Er, who had already changed into the costume of a palace maid, came in and said to the beautiful woman, "Miss, the words have been brought." ”

The graceful woman looked at her huge belly with watery eyes, and a slight smile was provoked at the corner of her mouth.

Lingxi didn't have the clothes of an inferior maid, and she didn't borrow it from other palace maids. In order not to attract people's eyes, he only put on a pink cloak on the outside of his clothes, and walked the path straight to the Deyang Palace, the main hall of Guangyang Palace.

Deyang Hall is prepared for beautiful people, so after the repair, it is empty there, except for someone to clean it every morning, no one else at other times.

The layout of the main hall in the harem of Dashun is all of the same specification, and Lingxi easily enters the inner hall from the side of the Deyang Palace.

After entering the inner hall, Lingxi felt a burst of heat rushing towards him, it turned out that although there was no one in this Deyang Palace, the earth dragon was burning.

Lingxi understood after a little thought. In this winter, if the prince is really born, he must seal the concubine and live in the main hall, in order to avoid freezing to the master, of course, the palace must be warmed first.

Lingxi held the fire fold, bypassed the screen painted with orchids, and took a brief look at the layout of the hall.

Like other palaces, a low kang was built by the south window, and a low table made of mahogany was placed on top of the low kang. Under the kang is a foot pedal one foot long, one foot wide and half a foot high. At the north window, several tall blue and white vases are placed. In the summer, there are bamboo couches to cool off.

In the inner sanctuary, near the screen, there is a round table that is taller than the dwarf kang and carved in the shape of flowers, plants, fish and insects, and four round stools of the same color are arranged around the table. Here, it is for the concubines to gather and drink and chat.

Lingxi glanced at it, and then lost interest. Although the inner hall is exquisitely arranged, in the end, it is those things, and she has long been tired of seeing them in the palace for eight years.

Lingxi took off his cloak and put it on the round table, and sat on the warm kang himself. The warm kang was actually hot, which made Lingxi's heart happy.

In order to avoid anyone noticing, the spirit rhino blew out the fire, and the snow on the roof of the temple outside the window refracted the light into the inner hall, and the objects turned into dark and light black outlines appeared in front of her eyes.

The spirit rhino curled up on the ondol, hugging his knees and listening to his heartbeat.

Slowly, the tension faded, and her heart became calm. She is now thinking more about how to open her mouth with Li Lingyun and how to keep her freedom.

She also wants to be the princess of Allure and the wise king Li Chenfeng.

Princess Allure has a special identity and will definitely not stay in the capital for a long time. King Rui probably arranged the princess of Allure far away from the capital, how will she find them after she goes out?

Go straight to the Rui Wang's Mansion? What should I do if King Kerui is not in the capital? She only knows one Guan Qiao'er in King Rui's mansion, but Guan Qiao'er hasn't been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't know if she recognizes her.

and her father, I don't know where the Situ family arranged her father, and I have to ask the beautiful woman again.

In Lingxi's thoughts, a bright light flashed outside the window.

Lingxi's heart suddenly jumped to his throat, there would be no palace people coming in the Deyang Hall in the middle of the night, and it would only be Li Lingyun.

Lingxi secretly blamed in his heart, what kind of lantern did he play at this time? What if someone is recruited?

Before she finished reading the blame in her heart, she heard the door of the Deyang Hall squeak open.

Lingxi hurriedly rushed out, at this time, he actually walked through the gate, and he couldn't go through the small door?!

Lingxi's eyes hadn't seen light for a long time, and the person opposite raised the lantern to shine, subconsciously covered his eyes with his sleeve, frowned, and said, "Dazzling......"

With a sigh of breath, the hall returned to darkness, and the door slammed shut again.

Lingxi put down his sleeves and looked at the tall figure in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

swallowed a mouthful of spit, and just as he wanted to speak, he was hugged by the figure in his arms. Lingxi was shocked in her heart, Li Lingyun had never made a courtesy gesture to her.

Lingxi struggled subconsciously, but heard the man chuckle and said, "What a grumpy little beast, what an excellent gift, I like it." ”

With just one sentence, he fixed the spirit there.

The voice, the tone, and the smell of Long Yanxiang with the smell of wine coming from that person's body, this is clearly Emperor Yong'an.

"Your Majesty?" Lingxi's soft voice was confirmed, his brain swelled slightly, and the sound of his heartbeat shook his ears a little.

Why did Emperor Yongan appear here, shouldn't it be Li Lingyun? Where did Li Lingyun go? Little Beast, Gift......

Lingxi trembled more and more, and she became- a gift?

Emperor Yong'an kissed Lingxi's ear and chuckled, "Although it violates the ancestral system, I like it." ”

Lingxi began to struggle vigorously, and her struggle was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the strong Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an laughed and said, "Is this called wanting to capture and indulge?" ”

"Your Majesty, slave maid...... Slave maid ......" Lingxi said in a dry voice, "Slave maid ......"

Lingxi was so nervous that tears slid down her eyes, and she couldn't say anything except the slave.

"Nervous?" Emperor Yong'an picked up the Lingxi and strode towards the dormitory, both hands constantly pulling the Lingxi and his clothes.

"Your Majesty!" Lingxi suddenly shouted, she still wanted to work hard for her freedom again, she didn't want to be a pawn for others to curry favor with Emperor Yong'an. Whoever that other person was, she didn't want to.

In the dark, Lingxi, who was placed on the bed, tried hard to grasp his torn clothes and shrank into the depths of the bed, "The slave is just a lowly palace person, and she is really not worthy of serving the emperor." The slave maid is frightened, and please think twice about it! ”

"You're refusing?" Emperor Yong'an's tone suddenly turned cold.

"Yes, the slave is refusing!" Lingxi's eyes were closed, and tears flowed down his face. If you follow Emperor Yong'an, you will not be able to leave the palace for the rest of your life, and it will be more uncomfortable than death.

Emperor Yong'an rudely pulled the Lingxi, tore off the only remaining fabric on her body, pressed her whole body up, and when the Lingxi's strength weakened, he stepped down and forced, "What I want, there is nothing I can't get." If you don't want it, you have to ask for it! ”

The spirit rhino let out a mournful cry like a small beast, and the pain in her lower body made her brain go blank for an instant, and her white hands grabbed the futon under her fiercely......
