Empress Dowager Cui allowed Lingxi to learn words, but Lingxi was not a little palace maid who had just entered the palace after all, so she learned from Mama An on weekdays.

In the words of Empress Dowager Cui, "Concubine Mei's little seal is really good, and you have a temper with her, so follow her to learn." ”

Empress Dowager Cui knew that she didn't like Concubine Mei Lingxi in her heart, otherwise when she had compassion for Concubine Mei, Empress Dowager Cui would not have punished her like that.

What Empress Dowager Cui thought in her heart, Lingxi couldn't guess. The thoughts of the superiors, which can be guessed by her little palace maid.

However, since then, it has been much easier for her to come to see Youmeng, otherwise she would not have exposed her white arms under the coercion of the nameless princess.

When he saw Yumeng pick up the brush stained with various paints, Lingxi really cried and laughed.

Yumeng actually had a sudden idea to draw flowers on the human body.

Seeing the wry smile on Lingxi's face, a trace of contempt appeared on the dream's stunning little face, and he said meanly, "Look at your tangled face!" I said I couldn't see it under my clothes. ”

Lingxi was helpless, watching Youmeng draw a small flower with distinct petals on his arm with a pen, and asked, "It's not difficult to wash." ”

Yumeng shook his head like a rattle, "Of course it's easy to wash, especially easy to wash." ”

Suspicious, Lingxi reached out and picked up the sleeve on Yumeng's left arm. I saw that the chubby, pink and tender arms were full of failed paintings. Some of the colors have been blurred, and at a glance, you can tell that they have not been washed clean after washing them with water several times.

Yumeng pulled his arm back, squinting at the big eyes of the water spirit and giving Lingxi a charming smile, "You can't wash it off once, just wash it twice more." ”

Lingxi sighed, the paintings are all painted, what else can I say? Besides, it is worth it to use a small flower on your arm that is not too ugly to exchange for a smile that is as charming as the sun.

The ghost dream knows that the spirit rhino often walks in front of the Empress Dowager Cui, so she only paints one and then stops painting. While waiting for the paint to dry, there was a casual conversation with Lingxi. The longer she wakes up in ancient times, the longer she sleeps in modern society. Although she tosses blindly on weekdays, she is getting more and more scared in her heart, she is afraid that she will not be able to go back here.

But she didn't dare to say this, for fear that once she said it, she really couldn't go back.

Lingxi stayed in the Yizhu Hall for a while, and it was already a moment when he went to Concubine Mei's study.

After Mei Guifei took out a three-character scripture to teach Lingxi to recognize the sound, she asked Lingxi to expand the characters there by herself, and she herself sat on the Taishi chair, her eyes in a daze without focus.

Since the death of the fourteenth prince, she and Lingxi no longer have the same intimacy as before, and they will no longer pull Lingxi to whisper.

She didn't blame Lingxi for sending Jade Ruyi, and she didn't have any guilt for Lingxi in her heart, she only blamed herself and blamed herself for her original choice.

Until now, as soon as she closed her eyes, she could still remember the first time she walked into the Yongshou Palace after she was pregnant.

The Changle Palace, which she often went in and out of, was filled with a faint, natural floral fragrance; Empress Dowager Cui, or the Empress Dowager Cui she once waited carefully, sat on the main seat in the Changle Hall wearing a phoenix robe.

But she is no longer the original green jade. Since she beat her to charm Emperor Yonghe in order to take revenge, she has never been.

In the Changle Palace, she knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager Cui and said to the Empress Dowager Cui, "The Empress Dowager, the green jade is no longer green jade, and it is in vain that you have loved it for many years." But even if you step into this right and wrong, the slave and maid don't want to be subordinate to others anymore and live by looking at people's faces. ”

Empress Dowager Cui sat on the phoenix throne and muttered for a long time, and finally looked at her coldly and said, "There is a gift to gain, in order to be a master, what price are you willing to pay?" ”

At that time, her face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on her cherry lips, which should have been red and tender. After listening to Empress Dowager Cui's words, she smiled sadly, "Either live with self-respect, or be trampled on forever." The Queen Mother, the slave can not even want her life, what else can't be abandoned? ”

"Then, the mourners want the child in your womb."

Then, the mourners want the child in your womb.

What an understatement, but it decided the life and death of the child in her womb.

Whenever Wen Po brought her a sour and bitter decoction, her outstretched hand trembled slightly. The bowl contained poison that inhibited the growth of the child in her womb, but she couldn't swallow it all.

Because, this is her own choice.

In order to live with her head held high, in order to no longer be trampled on, and in order to have a place in this cannibalistic harem, she is willing to give up her weak life in her belly to be a pawn to bring down the queen and queen.

But she underestimated the joy that life brought her, and she enjoyed the joy of being a first-time mother. So, she regretted it, and she drove out all the people who the queen had placed in her palace. unreasonable and irritable, just like the original Cui Guifei......

Unlike Cui Guifei, the tenth princess could have lived, but the fourteenth prince was destined to die and pave the way for Cui Guifei's return to the palace.

Ruyi, Ruyi, as you wish.

The gold-inlaid Ruyi carries her beautiful future, and it is also a life-urging talisman for the fourteenth prince......

Concubine Mei was lying on the Taishi chair, tears slowly flowing from the corners of her eyes and into her mouth, bitter and astringent, like the Mengzhu pollen she fed to the fourteenth prince herself......

Her emperor must have been walking with a sweet dream......

In the spring of the twenty-third year of Yonghe, the wind supported the willows, and the drizzle of cotton cotton.

The fourteen-year-old Lingxi wore a peach-pink palace dress embroidered with willow leaves, a palace maid's hair bun on her head, a pair of jade pendants in her ears, and an oil-paper umbrella with snow and ink. Behind him, Zhou An, who was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhixue, who was holding a food box.

Zhou An trotted behind Lingxi and said, "Miss Ling'er, less than a quarter of an hour after you went to Qingle Palace, the Seventh Princess came to greet the Queen Mother. brought some novelty gadgets, the Queen Mother was very happy, but who knew that after talking for a while, the Queen Mother said that she was tired and let the seventh princess leave. After the seventh princess left, the Queen Mother was sullen and didn't speak, and Mama An sent me to call you. ”

Zhixue also replied, "When I left, I saw that the Queen Mother was still happy, clamoring to eat almond crisp." ”

The corners of Lingxi's mouth smiled, and her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Can the noble concubine come with the seventh princess?" ”

Zhou An pondered for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "Concubine Degui went to Concubine Dong Guifei's Yongle Palace early in the morning, and after a while, she went to Cui Guifei's Qianyun Palace, and did not come to Yongshou Palace to ask for peace. ”

"When the Seventh Princess came, who was waiting there?"

"Sister Zhiqiu served tea inside, and she was still happy at that time. Later, the Queen Mother sent Sister Zhiqiu out, and when Sister Zhiqiu was called in, the Queen Mother's expression was no longer right. ”

Lingxi bowed slightly, and there was a measure in his heart.

Since the autumn of the 22nd year of Yonghe, the border between the Dashun Dynasty and the Snow Country has been in conflict one after another. As soon as the news was transmitted back to the Dashun Dynasty, in addition to the ministers of the foreign dynasties, the harem was even more chaotic, so that the six princesses who were raised under the knees of Dong Guifei hurriedly got married. (Wu Guifei died in the twentieth year of Yonghe, and Concubine Dong Guifei saw that the six princesses were young, so she took the six princesses back to Yongle Palace to raise them.) ）

The third princess and the fourth princess have already been married in Yonghe for 20 years and 12 years. Although the eighth princess was only two months younger than the seventh princess, Concubine Yu begged Emperor Yonghe to marry Emperor Yonghe when the eighth princess was ten years old, and married the eldest son of her maiden cousin after she was just a concubine.

Looking down, it is the nine-year-old Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess is still young, and it is not enough to talk about the age of marriage price.

In such a situation, how can Concubine Degui not be in a hurry?

The three of them crossed the arched bridge of white jade, and Yongshou Palace appeared in front of them. After entering the palace gate, Lingxi went straight to the remote room of the Changle Palace, handed the umbrella to the little palace maid, and began to prepare the utensils for making tea. In an instant, with a flip of his white wrist, he brewed a cup of fragrant Pu'er tea.

Pu'er health preservation, compared with flower tea, is more suitable for the elderly Empress Dowager Cui. In the past few years, with the efforts of Lingxi, Empress Dowager Cui no longer drinks flower tea, but drinks this ripe Pu'er with many benefits every day.

Empress Dowager Cui is over 60 years old, the skin on her face is still very loose, and her figure is richer than four years ago. At this moment, she is wearing a Luo skirt embroidered with dark peonies in maroon, and she is crooked on top of the low kang. The long white hair was tied in a loose bun, and there were no fresh flowers on the head, only two dark green gold-inlaid jasper hairpins of good color were fixed, and another hairpin made of gold beaded flowers. He wore a jade bracelet on his right wrist, and his right hand, which was no longer white, was beating rhythmically on the kang. Because the kang is padded with a cotton cushion, there is no sound.

Lingxi looked at Empress Dowager Cui's face, and knew that Empress Dowager Cui was very angry.

Mama Ann is already old and can no longer stand. Seeing Lingxi come in and whisper a few words to Lingxi, he retired first.

Lingxi put the tea on the pear wood low table beside the Empress Dowager Cui, sat on the very low kang with only one side of his buttocks, pulled the hand that the Empress Dowager Cui had been beating the rhythm on the kang to his lap, and the little hand that was as tender as green onion gently pinched the muscles on the arm of the Empress Dowager Cui, and laughed skillfully, "Who made the Empress Dowager angry?" Is it the autumn or the moon? Then the slave and the maid went and punished them. ”

Empress Dowager Cui snorted coldly, withdrew her hand like a child, and turned her face in one direction not to look at Lingxi.

Lingxi saw that the Empress Dowager Cui withdrew her hand, so she gently rubbed the legs of the Empress Dowager Cui, "That must be the Empress Dowager's leg attack, and the slave maid will rub it for you." ”

Lingxi rubbed her hair for a while, and saw that the Empress Dowager Cui was still pouting, so she brought the tea cup that had been cold for a while on the low table to the Empress Dowager Cui, and said, "The Empress Dowager has been sitting like this for a while, and I also invite the Empress Dowager to drink tea to moisten her throat, and then sit like this after drinking, the slave will not bother you." ”

Empress Dowager Cui glared at Lingxi, took the teacup with her right hand and took a sip, and then didn't speak when she took it to Lingxi.

After Lingxi put down the teacup, he picked up the white jade plate with almond crisp, and grinned, "Queen Mother, the tea has been drunk, then I will eat the almond crisp again, my throat is moist, I must make my stomach full again, and I can't favor one over the other!" ”

Empress Dowager Cui finally couldn't stand Lingxi's faceless tenacity, and raised her finger with a sapphire ring to poke Lingxi's forehead, "I really spoiled you, and when I saw that there was no one in the palace, I bullied the mourning family." ”

Lingxi was happy when she saw that Empress Dowager Cui spoke, and hurriedly straightened Empress Dowager Cui's crooked body, put a kang pillow behind her and said, "Where dare the slave maid, the slave maid is distressed." ”

After Empress Dowager Cui sat up straight, she let out a long sigh, "You must have heard of it." ”

Lingxi nodded, sat on the edge of the kang, and said while pinching the legs of Empress Dowager Cui, "The Seventh Princess will be in time this year, and she will be troubled by the recent Snow Country." Concubine Degui Niangniang went to Concubine Dong Guifei's Yongle Palace first in the light rain this morning, and then went to Cui Guifei's Qianyun Palace. At present, everything in the palace is decided by the two noble concubines, and if they don't let go, the seventh princess will definitely come to beg you. ”

After Empress Wang was given death, Emperor Yonghe has not been established, and all the affairs in the harem are handled by Dong Guifei and Cui Gui.

"What's the use of begging for a mourner?" Empress Dowager Cui frowned, her face was unhappy, "Zhenzhen'er doesn't have the wisdom of her mother, if you don't mention Princess Siran, the mourning family won't be annoyed with her in their hearts!" ”

Lingxi's subordinates didn't stop, but they paused in their hearts.

Less than two years after Princess Siran married the Great Moon Kingdom, the Great Moon Kingdom set up a new emperor. According to the ancestral system of the Great Moon Kingdom, Princess Siran married the new emperor, and the prince born to her and the former emperor had been killed by the new emperor in front of her.

The matter of Princess Siran can be regarded as a great shame of the Great Shun Dynasty. Emperor Yonghe was angry and reprimanded Concubine Liang for having no way to teach her daughter, so Princess Siran should make a decision on her own like Princess Chaoran, instead of lingering in the world. At that time, it was also the time of King Xiang's profligacy, and he robbed 11 good girls in the capital to enter the palace for his sexual pleasure. Emperor Yonghe was furious and seized the throne of King Xiang, and also sent Concubine Liang into the cold palace. Concubine Liang died less than a year after being sent to the cold palace, and no one mentioned it again.

The seventh princess is behind Queen Cui and Princess Siran, doesn't that mean that the affairs of Concubine Liang's mother and son are all in front of Queen Mother Cui? It's no wonder that Empress Dowager Cui can be happy! [**~] .pen.

Lingxi couldn't answer, so he concentrated on rubbing the legs of Empress Dowager Cui.

Empress Dowager Cui rubbed her forehead with her right hand, closed her eyes tightly and said, "The mourning family really hopes that the noble concubine is as good as that sin concubine, and she has solved the emperor's urgent need, and the mourning family went to ask the emperor to give her a concubine!" It's also better than letting the seventh princess come here all day long to mourn the family! ”

"Slave and maid transgression," Ling Xi said cautiously after thinking for a while, "Slave maid heard that the Snow Country and the Great Moon Country are two completely different customs, maybe it is not a bad thing for the Seventh Princess to marry her!" ”

Empress Dowager Cui nodded and said, "That's natural, although there is no precedent for the Great Shun Dynasty to marry a princess to the Snow Country, but when the first emperor was the emperor, there was a princess from the Snow Country in the palace. According to her, it's the same as ours, except that the winter is a little longer and there is a little more snow! ”

Lingxi catered to her, "The Queen Mother said that the good place must be excellent." It can be seen that this is a good marriage between God and the Seventh Princess, if not, how can she be the only princess of the right age. ”

Lingxi's heart breathed a sigh of relief. Empress Dowager Cui had already made a decision for the future of the Seventh Princess when she mentioned Princess Siran, but she just said it through her mouth.

Empress Dowager Cui squinted her eyes and smiled on her face, "You still know the heart of the mourning family......"
