On the night of November 19, Lingxi stayed in the Yongshou Palace and did not return to the Lingyan Palace.

She sat on the low table in front of the bed of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, and chatted with the Empress Dowager Xiaohe as before.

From the mouth of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, Lingxi learned that Mama An had passed away in the fourth year of Yong'an. After Mama An passed away, Diemei, who was the lady of the Cui family, arrived in the Fengyang Palace and waited by the side of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager.

Talking about the butterfly beauty, Xiao and the Empress Dowager said, "That hoof is like the eldest sister of the mourning mother's family!" Self-righteous and smart, thinking that they can play tricks and not put anyone in their eyes! ”

Lingxi was surprised by Xiao and the Empress Dowager's evaluation of the butterfly beauty, and said calmly, "Since Niangniang doesn't like her like this, why did she give her that string of sandalwood Buddha beads." And send me a message to let me take more care of her? ”

Xiao and the Empress Dowager turned over in the bed, and the old voice became a little cloudy, "Since she is bent on death, what reason does the mourning family have to fail her?" spread out, as if the aunt and grandmother of the mourning family blocked her way out. ”

After hearing this, Lingxi sighed in her heart, the butterfly beauty did fly yellow, but unfortunately it was the yellow of Huangquan Road.

At three o'clock, after Xiao and the Empress Dowager slept soundly, Lingxi returned to the Lingyan Hall under the cover of Zhou An.

It was not yet dawn, but Lingxi did not feel the slightest sleepiness. After purifying her face under the service of lotus leaves and Qiaozhu, Lingxi sat on a low kang and ate red dates and bird's nest porridge while pondering what Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager had said to her.

The first thing that made Lingxi happy was that Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager did not blame her for climbing onto the dragon bed and becoming a concubine.

When Concubine Mei became the imperial concubine, although the filial piety and the empress dowager did not say anything on the surface, she was very angry in her heart. In contrast, Lingxi felt more and more that Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager were lenient to him.

Secondly, although Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager reprimanded Lingxi, she was full of worries about Lingxi.

This made Lingxi very heartwarming, and when he thought about it, his heart warmed, and his face couldn't help revealing a smile.

This feeling of being worried and missed by her relatives seems to have only been obtained in Xiao and the Empress Dowager.

Again, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe sent what she needed most now - a strong backer.

With this backer, her life in the harem will be better and better.

But Xiao and the Empress Dowager also told her that if you want to get this backer, you must first get the favor of Emperor Yong'an. This filial piety and the Empress Dowager can't interfere, so she can only rely on Lingxi's own ability.

So now the question in front of Lingxi is simple, that is, how to make Emperor Yong'an love himself again.

Lotus Ye stood aside and saw Lingxi smirking for a while, frowning for a while, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Niangniang, what did the Empress Dowager and her old man say to you to let you stay in the Yongshou Palace for one night?" ”

Lingxi looked up at the lotus leaf and chuckled, "The Empress Dowager knew that I was sleeping tightly, so she rewarded me with a pillow with exquisite embroidery." ”

Qiaozhu was surprised, "When Niangniang went to Yongshou Palace for a night, she was actually sleeping?" No wonder Niangniang looked at such a spirit, and there was no sense of sleepiness at all. ”

Lotus Ye tapped Qiaozhu's forehead and said with a smile, "You are smart when you say you are stupid, and you are stupid when you say you are smart." Niangniang means that the Empress Dowager sent Niangniang what she urgently needed. ”

Qiaozhu passed a little lotus leaf, and his eyes lit up. She rubbed her head and asked Lotus Ye, "Niangniang, does the Empress Dowager want to make decisions for you, and then bring down the noble concubine?" ”

Lingxi tilted his head and smiled, "It's not your one, but it's more attractive than that." ”

After hearing this, Lotus Ye did not have a trace of joy on her face, but frowned.

She has been with Lingxi for a long time, and when she encounters it, she will think about things in a bad way. So she cautiously asked Lingxi, "Niangniang, what conditions does the Empress Dowager want you to exchange?" ”

The smile on Lingxi's face faded by three points, her beautiful eyes swept the lotus leaves, and she said softly, "You are getting smarter and smarter." ”

Lotus Ye's heart tightened, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"I'm praising you, not reprimanding you." Lingxi put down the white jade spoon in his hand and said faintly, "There is no pie in the sky in the world, and the Empress Dowager will naturally not help me unconditionally." ”

"What does the Queen Mother want her mother to do?" Lotus Ye raised her head, with a little curiosity and two worries in her eyes.

Lingxi didn't want to talk about that condition, so he just swept it over and said, "It's not difficult, it's just a little more time." The problem in front of me at the moment is how can I regain the emperor's favor, and the queen mother said that if I can't do this, she won't give me that 'pillow'. ”

Lotus Leaf and Qiaozhu didn't know what the 'pillow' in Lingxi's mouth was, but they understood the meaning of Lingxi's words. What they have to do in the next stage is to let Lingxi regain the emperor's favor.

The two girls have their own tricks in this regard, and you and I have an idea in front of Lingxi.

Lingxi brought his thoughts back to the conversation with Xiao and the Empress Dowager. Especially the sentence, 'Your greatest enemy is the emperor.' ’

This sentence can really be said to be the essence of the way of being a concubine!

It's a pity that this enemy can't be defeated, and if you want to be invincible in the harem, the way to compromise is to turn the enemy into a friend and stand on the same front, or turn into a chess player and be willing to be used by Yong'an.

To incarnate as a chess piece is to become a pawn of Emperor Yong'an to show favor to Pan Changfei like Concubine Ying. When Pan Changfei was still loyal to Emperor Yong'an and worked hard for Dashun, no matter what Concubine Ying did, Emperor Yong'an would treat Concubine Ying leniently for three points to show God's grace.

To turn enemies into friends is to go to the heart of Emperor Yong'an, like a concubine. Even if Emperor Yongan was forced to send Concubine Wan into the cold palace, when the cold palace was on fire, Emperor Yongan still deigned to go to the cold palace to save her in person.

If Concubine Wan hadn't hid due to disfigurement, I'm afraid that Concubine Wan's status would not be lower than Lingxi's now.

There is a strong backer outside the court, and there is the favor of Emperor Yong'an in the harem, and the brain is not as simple as that of the concubine, which is the three conditions for being invincible in the harem.

It's a pity that among these three points, the only thing Lingxi has is that his brain is not as simple as that of Wan Concubine. But the only thing that this one thing has is the reason why Emperor Yong'an will not really love her.

Lingxi's brain ached faintly when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but look up and sigh, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws!" ”

Lotus Ye and Qiaozhu were discussing Zhenghuan, and when they heard Lingxi sigh, Lotus Ye smiled, "Niangniang, what can't you have both?" ”

The excitement of Qiaozhu and Lotus Ye's discussion had not yet passed, and he said to Lingxi with a smile, "Niangniang, the slave maid said that you can actually wear a bunch of grapes like a step shake, or earrings, anyway, the grape-shaped one becomes a ......."

Lingxi was dazed, "What were you talking about?" ”

Lotus Ye knew that Lingxi had just lost her mind, so she replied, "Niangniang, just now the slave maid and Qiaozhu were talking about Chen Meiren. I heard the palace people of the Zichen Palace say that the emperor came to Xingchen Beauty that night because the emperor drank some wine, and the hand bowl of Chen Beauty brought a bunch of grapes-shaped handpieces, so it ......"

"So you think she's a concubine, huh?" Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Chen Meiren has been waiting in front of the palace for a long time, why did she suddenly have this thought?" It's also a scheming ......."

Lotus Ye nodded, "Just kneeling three times and bowing nine times to the gate of Yongshou Palace, ordinary concubines can't do it." ”

Lingxi hummed softly and said, "Although she is a palace maid, she has served in front of the emperor. After listening to more state affairs, this mind has become unusual. This Chen beauty will be a character in the future. ”

Qiaozhu said quickly, "Niangniang, no matter when Chen Meiren had this thought, and whether she is a character in the future, the slave maid thinks that this method can still be tried." Niangniang has a green jade step, slightly changed, is the shape of grapes. ”

"The slave and maid said no." Lotus Ye objected, she shook her head again and again, "What is the identity of Chen Meiren, what is the identity of our mother." She does that kind of means, and the most others can say is to climb the high branches. But if we do that, I don't know how to arrange those broken mouths. ”

"If you can really win the emperor's favor, you are not afraid not to say anything." Lingxi said slowly, "I'm afraid that if we do that, not only will we not get benefits, but it will annoy the emperor." ”

Hearing that Lingxi also objected, Qiaozhu was discouraged. She pouted and said, "No, let the fifth princess and the fifth prince go to the Zichen Palace again?" ”

This time, Lotus Ye agreed, "Before Concubine Wen's incident, the five princesses and the five princes were tired of being in the Zichen Palace all day long. Now that the five princesses and the five princes are going to ask for peace, they won't say anything if they want to come to the emperor. ”

Lingxi still shook his head.

The more anxious she is to regain the favor of Emperor Yong'an, the more she can't act rashly. You have to take your time.

Sitting until the light outside the hall, Lingxi asked the lotus leaf in a daze, "How is Concubine Wan doing recently?" ”

Lotus Ye was startled in sleepiness, and hurriedly replied, "Niangniang, under the care of the dumb slave, Concubine Wan and Granny Bai are very good. It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder, and it's not good to warm up in the cold palace......"

Lingxi's closed eyes opened suddenly, and she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Wan Concubine, you should also leave the cold palace and leave." ”
