On October 15 of the ninth year of Yong'an, the wind and sun were beautiful, and the weather was cold for nearly half a month, and finally warmed up under the high sunshine.

In the courtyard of the Luoxue Pavilion, there are a few hardy three-color moon trees that Xiao Dezi found from the flower house. In this month, three different colors of flowers can bloom on one flower, hence the name.

Because the newly cultivated varieties in the flower room are very rare, there are only a few plants in the Changle Palace, the Zichen Palace, the Hehuan Hall and the Luoxue Pavilion. Even An Xiaowan's Yiyang Hall does not have it.

At this time, the three-color moon season is in full bloom, and the large multi-layered flowers greet the sun, showing their graceful figures.

Qiaozhu walked into the inner hall with a dark pink moon season, and said with a smile on her face, "Niangniang, look at this moon season, last year, the slave maid went out to see at night, and saw that this flower was obviously frozen by frost, but this morning, when the sun shone down, the frost turned into dewdrops, and the flower actually bloomed again, which is really beautiful." ”

Lingxi was reading a book on the warm kang, and after listening to Qiaozhu's words, he reached out and took the moon season.

The dark pink and yellow flowers are blooming brightly, and the large heavy petals are dewdropped, shiny, dripping on the hands with a hint of coolness.

Lingxi glanced back at the sun outside the window, and said to Qiaozhu with a smile, "Ask the lotus leaf to come in and change my clothes, the weather is good today, I will go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye." ”

When the spirit rhino was simply cleaned up, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky. Lingxi held the hand of the lotus leaf through the small garden of Yongshou Palace, looking at the few chrysanthemums that were still tenaciously blooming in the small garden, and his eyes were full of smiles.

When Lingxi walked into the courtyard of Changle Palace, Zhou An greeted him from afar. After greeting Lingxi, he said with a smile, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, your body is good, the Empress Dowager has been studying for many days." ”

"The Empress Dowager is worried." Lingxi smiled and said to Zhou An, "You go and report it." ”

Zhou An nodded, and smiled at Lingxi again, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, King Rui has come to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager." ”

"King Rui?"

Lingxi was surprised, there has been no palace banquet in recent days, how did King Rui enter the palace.

"yes." Zhou An smiled and said, "Ye Guifei doesn't know anything, in the past half a month, King Rui has gone to the Changle Hall every few days to sit with the Empress Dowager. It's very low-key when you come and go......"

While speaking, the two had already come to the corridor of the Changle Palace, and Zhou An saluted Lingxi again, turned around and went in to report.

Suddenly, Zhiyue walked out of it and welcomed Lingxi to the inner hall with a smile on her face.

In the inner hall of the Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe is playing with King Rui.

The two chess pieces, one black and one white, fought fiercely on the chessboard.

Hearing Lingxi's footsteps, Xiao and the Empress Dowager hurriedly beckoned to Lingxi and said, "Girl, come here." The mourning family is old, and you can't see the chess pieces on this chessboard clearly, so you have to give the mourning family eyes. ”

King Rui pinched a chess piece made of white jade in his hand, dropped it on the chessboard, and smiled at Xiao and the Empress Dowager, "Imperial grandmother, do you think that with Ye Guifei, you can turn defeat into victory?" I'm afraid of difficulties! ”

Lingxi stood beside Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile, "Ancestor, the concubines don't know how to play chess, but I'm afraid that the concubines will become more and more chaotic." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe held Lingxi's hand, let Lingxi sit down beside her, and said with a smile, "You tell the mourning family where he put the chess pieces, and let the mourning family know it." ”

"This concubine will be." Lingxi raised his slender jade fingers, counted the chess grids on the chessboard, and smiled at Xiao He and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, the son of King Rui just fell on the position of the seventh on the left. ”

"Left seven on nine." King Rui chuckled, and the smile on Junyi's face became kind, "That's a simple thing you say. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe glanced at King Rui and said, "I want you to take care of it, she understands what she says about the mourning family." As he spoke, he shook Lingxi's hand lightly and asked, "That's what you say." ”

Saying that, he gave the chess pieces in his hand to Lingxi, and said, "You put this piece in the position of the left seven and eight down." ”

Lingxi nodded, and put the black chess pieces in his hand in the middle of a pile of white pieces. After the release, Lingxi sighed and said to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, that position is full of white sons." ”

"It's okay, according to what the mourners say, if you win, it's your credit."

"That concubine can pick up a bargain." Lingxi smiled, "The concubine has been in love with the pair of one-person-high plum bottles in the outer hall of the ancestor for a long time, if she wins, the pair of plum bottles will be the concubine's." ”

"Imperial Grandmother," King Rui stretched out his hand and dropped a son on the chessboard, and said with a smile, "The good things in your palace have been moved by Concubine Ye Guifei......"

"Old ancestor, the left nine is six."

"You're nine on the left and five on the left." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe glanced at King Rui, and with a slightly aggrieved tone, she said, "No, Ye Guifei is quite light." You haven't seen her fifth princess, that ghost clever, who emptied half of the mourning family's things for half her life. ”

Lingxi looked back and smiled at the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and said, "Ancestor, you can't get used to the fifth princess anymore, she has more good things than the concubines......

King Rui dropped another son, raised his eyes and glanced at Lingxi, and smiled at Xiao and the Empress Dowager, "Imperial grandmother, did you hear that?" Ye Guifei said in the front that you are used to the fifth princess, but the latter words said that she suffered a loss. It's really atmospheric to fight for things with your own daughter. ”

"Left seven, bottom six." Lingxi smiled at King Rui and said, "I'm just stingy, I'm stingy." ”

The Empress Dowager laughed, pulled Lingxi's hand into her arms, and said, "It's not ...... grow up."

The game between Xiao and the Empress Dowager and King Rui lasted until nearly noon, ending with Lingxi playing tricks and King Rui admitting defeat.

Lingxi shook the sleeves of filial piety and the empress dowager, and said coquettishly, "Ancestor, your pair of plum bottles belong to the concubines." As he spoke, he said to King Rui, "King Rui, I'm not stingy, see if you let me share your share, and secretly transport it out of the palace when the ancestor is asleep." ”

"You girl, you will share the spoils in front of the mourning family." Xiao and the Empress Dowager nodded her forehead and said with a smile, "When the snow falls, the red plum blossoms, the mourning family will send them to your palace together." ”

Zhou An walked in from outside, and after saluting the Empress Dowager Xiaohe who was smiling, he said, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Rou is here and is waiting outside the palace." ”

The smile on Lingxi's face faded by three points.

King Rui stood up and smiled at Xiao He and the Empress Dowager, "Imperial grandmother, my grandson will leave the palace first, and I will come to play chess with you when I am free." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe asked Zhiyue to remove the chessboard, although she still had a smile on her face, she was lonely in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Cheng, it's not too early, you should leave the palace." He turned back to Zhou An and said, "Pass her in......"

Lingxi also stood up, King Rui is her brother-in-law according to her seniority, and it is inappropriate for King Rui to sit down again.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe raised her head and said to Lingxi, "You can help the mourning family send King Rui......

Lingxi thought for a moment and understood that this was Xiao and the Empress Dowager deliberately giving her space to talk to King Rui. So she blessed Xiao and the Empress Dowager and said, "The concubines will come when they go." ”

Outside the Changle Palace, Concubine Rou was waiting in the corridor. Seeing King Rui and Lingxi coming out, Concubine Rou raised her delicately painted eyebrows and smiled at Lingxi, and said, "Ah, Ye Guifei's body bones are good?" I haven't seen you in nearly two months. ”

Lingxi put down the left hand that was on his lower abdomen, and smiled back at Concubine Rou, "Let Concubine Rou worry, it's already good." ”

Concubine Rou took the palace maid's hand and walked into the Changle Palace, and smiled at Lingxi, "Since it's okay, we can sit together when we have time and have a good chat." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at King Rui with distracted eyes, and entered the Changle Hall without saying hello.

Lingxi looked back at King Rui with an indifferent face, and said with a smile, "She has always been like this, and she can't see anyone in her eyes." ”

King Rui raised his hand and touched his nose, nodded and said, "Well, like a dog looking down on people." ”

Lingxi burst out laughing, clutching his chest and laughing. King Rui couldn't hold back either, and laughed heartily. After laughing, the embarrassing atmosphere that appeared in the Rou Guifei was washed away.

King Rui was the first to descend the corridor, and the spirit rhino followed. The two of them didn't say anything, they were all looking at each other, and they didn't dare to talk about it.

After King Rui left, Lingxi returned to Changle Palace, and saw that Xiao and the Empress Dowager were busy, so they returned to Luoxue Pavilion. I thought about going to Changle Hall again the next day, but I didn't want it to rain again on the afternoon of October 15.

It rained heavily for three days, washing away the last of the palace's colors.

Winter is coming.

In the three days of rain, Rumei was ordered by Emperor Yong'an to be reduced to Rubaolin. The reason is that the medicine she gave to Qin Meiren was highly toxic, which made Qin Meiren's burned left arm fester.

When Emperor Yong'an learned that the medicine was supposed to treat An Xiaowan's face scars, he was even more furious and ordered Ru Baolin to be grounded for three months.

When the news reached Lingxi's ears, Lingxi was slightly stunned, his willow eyebrows raised, and his heart was full of puzzlement. -#~&heats;Pen ♣ Court?++

Would this beauty be so stupid as to really poison Qin Meiren's medicine? Or is Qin Meiren's mind only so shallow, and she is satisfied with just getting rid of Ru Meiren?

Qiaozhu saw Lingxi's contemplation, and after glancing at the lotus leaf, he said to Lingxi with a sad face, "Niangniang, such a beauty is too uncompetitive, and she lost like this, Wangwang~"

Lingxi couldn't help but laugh at Qiaozhu's two puppy barks, and laughed heartily, and all the doubts that arose in his heart were dispelled.

On October 20, the ninth year of Yong'an, Lingxi knelt in front of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, stroked her lower abdomen, which had been slightly raised, and said to Xiaohe Empress Dowager with shame in her eyes that she had been pregnant with the dragon heir for three months.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe was overjoyed when she heard this, and even recruited Emperor Yong'an to the Changle Palace.

In the evening of the same day, in the Hehuan Hall and the Deyang Palace, there was the sound of broken porcelain. The gate of the Palace of Forgotten Worries made a 'squeak', and a figure disappeared into the night. Deyang Palace, Concubine Xian. Hehuan Palace, Rou Guifei. Forget the palace, concubine.

One more is offered~~ Hehe, the comfortable days are over
