Lingxi knelt on the bed, his words mournful, but there was not a single tear in his eyes.

If she is from Emperor Yong'an today, then there will only be Ye Ziluo in the harem, and there will be no Ye Lingxi.

Suddenly, the figure outside the pink gauze tent moved, and Emperor Yongan left.

From that day on, the relationship between Lingxi and Emperor Yong'an fell into an embarrassing situation again.

The spirit rhino is no longer mixed between Emperor Yong'an and An Xiaowan. Whenever Emperor Yong'an was about to go down to the early dynasty, Lingxi would take the five princesses and the five princes to the imperial garden to play. When the palace people came to say that Emperor Yong'an had left, she led the five princesses and the five princes back.

If the weather is bad, Lingxi will leave the five princesses and the five princes in the Lingyan Palace, and go to the Ruyi Hall to see Concubine Yu by himself.

Yu Concubine's months are getting bigger and bigger, and people are getting thinner and thinner.

Looking at such a concubine, Lingxi always felt that it was very similar to the pregnancy of Concubine Mei in the previous dynasty. Frightened, she and Pan'er asked for the residue of the fetal pill, and asked the imperial doctor to carefully check to make sure that there was no problem, and then put down a heart.

may be due to fatigue during pregnancy, Yu Concubine's temperament is becoming more and more unstable, and her mouth is becoming more and more broken.

In front of Concubine Yu, Qi'er said to Lingxi worriedly, "Concubine Ye, don't take it to heart, my mother has been upset recently." ”

Concubine Yu also knew that her heart was unstable now, but she couldn't help it, she said to Lingxi, "Don't blame me for my broken mouth, but I always feel panicked in my heart, if I don't think about it again, it will be even more bottomless." Often at this time, Concubine Yu would look at Lingxi and add, "This holy decree to canonize the queen come down quickly, you become the queen, and I will no longer be afraid in my heart." ”

As she spoke, tears fell.

Lingxi looked distressed, but there was nothing to be done. In the words of her previous life, Concubine Yu's current symptom is pregnancy anxiety. If it gets worse, you will have suicidal tendencies.

This disease is a heart disease, and taking medicine does not work. I had to keep it easy, and tease her every day to make her happy.

Because of this, Lingxi ran more and more frequently in the palace of Yu Concubine. Always thinking about the law makes Yu Concubine laugh and makes Yu Concubine happy.

Who else is Lingxi in the harem? In addition to filial piety and the queen mother, who treats herself like a relative, she is a pair of children under her knees. Besides, it is this concubine who keeps her own affairs in her heart and thinks about it tightly.

As soon as the days turned, it was the beginning of March, and the delivery date of Yu Concubine was getting closer and closer.

Although Lingxi said that he lived in the Lingyan Hall every day, his heart was tightly held in the Qingle Palace. She instructed Xiao Dezi that as long as there was a little movement in the Ruyi Palace, she would report it at any time.

On the fifth day of the third month of the ninth year of Emperor Yong'an, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe issued a decree that all women who were 14 to 18 years old in the court should stop marrying, and the best ones should be selected into the harem to extend the heirs of the royal family.

The general election every five years in the Great Shun Dynasty was changed from this time to a general election every five years, and a small election was held three years after the general election. The scope of the general election is the women of the world, regardless of the lintel, and the scope of the small election is the daughter of the family.

Filial piety and the Empress Dowager's decree, a few families are happy and a few are sad. Those who want to send their daughters to the harem feel that this is an opportunity. Those who do not want their daughters to suffer this are afraid that they will be separated from each other when the decree is issued.

And those who already have daughters in the harem are frightened, afraid that their daughters will become yesterday's yellow flowers just after they have just improved in this family.

In this regard, the most indifferent in the DPRK is Zuo Shangshu Ye Jin.

Ye Jinkao was not interested in Concubine Ye, the grandson of the imperial concubine who suddenly jumped out, if it weren't for Ye Jingyan's rebel son who was forced to die, he wouldn't want his children and grandchildren to be stained with a copper relationship with the harem in his life.

Therefore, when some ministers in the court flattered and mentioned Concubine Ye as the queen, Ye Jin was as far away as he was.

The foreign ministers talked about the small election, and the concubines in the harem were not idle.

Before the small election, there will be a big seal, and they are all looking forward to seeing if they can be lucky enough to be promoted to another position in this big seal.

Concubine Yu's illness was committed again, and on the day of the edict of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, she held Qi'er's hand and ran to the Lingyan Hall with her belly, which had been almost nine months old.

As soon as he entered the Lingyan Palace, he didn't salute Lingxi, and took Lingxi's hand anxiously and began to chant, "What does it mean that the Empress Dowager has a family?" Now that you have a family background, and there is no shortage of favor, is there a more suitable candidate for the queen than you in the entire harem? Now that a three-year election has been added to the five-year general election, which of the women who are selected to enter the palace is not the daughter of the family. You said that the Empress Dowager loves you, but I don't think so. ”

Saying that, Concubine Yu took the handkerchief, choked up and wiped her tears, "Her old man didn't see the suffering you suffered, give you a sweet date to eat and give you a slap ......"

Seeing Concubine Yu crying like a tearful person, Lingxi could only persuade with good words.

In the case that he couldn't persuade him, Lingxi had no choice but to raise his hand to surrender to the concubine, and confessed, "Okay Yingying, don't cry, this idea was proposed by me and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe." ”

Concubine Yu really stopped her tears, then picked up a pear on the table and smashed it on Lingxi's body, glaring angrily and said, "Are you living too peacefully?" Even if you want to show your virtuous side in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, it will be after you are canonized! What are you busy with now, do you know how many women from the family with high lintels will be sent in this time? ”

In the blink of his eyes, tears fell again. Concubine Yu stood up, held Qi'er's hand, and said angrily, "Let's go, I'll go back to the palace, I'll never come again." I've been worried about you all day, and it's better for you to push yourself into that dangerous situation......"

Looking at the back of Concubine Yu leaving, Lingxi couldn't say what she was suffering from.

If Emperor Yong'an wants to make her the queen, then whether she chooses a concubine or not, she will be canonized as the queen. But the current situation is that it is impossible for Lingxi to be made the queen at all.

After Concubine Yu left, Xiao Dezi came to report that Emperor Yong'an was coming in the direction of the Lingyan Palace.

Lingxi got up and straightened his makeup, and said to the lotus leaf with a bitter face, "Let's go, I'll go to the Yongshou Palace to sit for a while......"

In front of the small garden of Yongle Palace, Lingxi and Emperor Yong'an happened to meet. Lingxi stopped and stood on the road to greet Emperor Yong'an.

After Emperor Yong'an let Lingxi get up, he asked, "If it's nearly evening today, where is the concubine going?" ”

Ling Xi smiled, looked at Emperor Yong'an's eyes without the slightest dodge, "The concubine went to ask the Empress Dowager for peace." ”

"Haven't you been there before?"

"The weather has been changeable these days, and the Queen Mother had a leg disease many years ago." The smile on Lingxi's face was still faint, "The concubine is not at ease, go over and take a look......"

As he spoke, Lingxi's body turned to the side and made way for Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an looked at the Lingxi whiskers and said, "This bead flower on your head is still the same as last winter, it's spring, let the palace bureau send you some new ones tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the Lingyan Hall.

After Lingxi got up, he slowly walked out of Yongle Palace with lotus leaves.

Lotus Ye looked back at the background of Emperor Yong'an, and complained to Lingxi, "Niangniang, you came out like this, those concubines are going to chew their tongues again, saying that the scenery on your face is actually pressed to death by Wangui Concubine, and even the palace is ......occupied by Wangui Concubine."

Lingxi scoffed, "A bunch of rats are blind. ”

When the Empress Dowager Xiaohe saw Lingxi coming in, she smiled and said to Lingxi, "Girl, you came just in time." As soon as the mourning family was still talking about when you would come, you entered the house. ”

Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Concubine Ye must have heard the Empress Dowager talking about you, so she came over." ”

Lingxi greeted Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager and said with a smile, "No, the concubine is sitting in the palace, and suddenly I feel that my ears are too hot." When the concubine thinks about it, others can't think of the concubine like this, it must be the ancestor. It's not going to come over soon......"

"You girl, you will make the mourning family happy." Xiao and the Empress Dowager smiled happily, pointed at Lingxi and said, "According to what you say, hasn't the mourning family become the monk in the Journey to the West that you told the mourning family?" Then you are really a little monkey, as soon as the mourning family does it, you will obediently come to the palace of the mourning family. ”

Lingxi sat on the other side of the dwarf kang, raised his eyes and said with a smile, "The ancestor always called the concubine a little monkey, and the concubine really became a little monkey." ”

Zhiyue came in and served the teacup, and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager, if you want to think about Concubine Ye in the future, you don't need the slaves and maids to go to the runway to spread the word." As long as you sit in the hall and think like this, Concubine Ye will come over by herself......"

Lingxi smacked at Zhiyue and joked, "Let you make fun of me, and I will ask the ancestor to ask you to go to my palace, see if you are still poor!" ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe replied in surprise to Lingxi, "Ah, aren't your fifth prince still young?" Asking him for a daughter-in-law so soon? ”

Zhiyue blushed and stomped her feet, "Empress Dowager, you and Concubine Ye joined forces to bully slaves and maids." With that, he turned around and ran out.

There was another burst of laughter in the Changle Palace.

After a few more jokes, Lingxi said to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Ancestor, in fact, the concubine came to talk to you. ”

"Cheng, you say, mourning family listen." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe nodded, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a bite.

"Now that the matter of the small election has been decided, the show girls in the Chuxiu Palace ......" Lingxi carefully looked at the face of Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said, "Those show girls were all selected into the palace in the sixth year of Yong'an." According to the ancestral system, they must live in Chuxiu Palace for five years before they can leave the palace. Not to mention anything else, just the annual food and clothing of the three hundred beautiful girls is also a lot of expenses......"

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe held the teacup in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Lingxi and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"The concubine is foolish." Lingxi said, "Instead of letting them live in the palace for five years, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the small election to let them out of the palace." The first is to save the cost of the harem, and the second is to let them go out of the palace early to find a lover......"

"You have a good heart, and you know that you are thinking about them." The Empress Dowager Xiaohe put down the tea cup in her hand, raised her hand and asked the palace maids waiting on the side to go out.

Standing up, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager said to Lingxi, "Ling'er, you are anxious. You are still a concubine, and there are some things that you should not say. Even if that's right, you can't say it. ”

Lingxi was shocked in his heart, stood up and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager, and said with a pale face, "The concubines follow the teachings of the Empress Dowager." ”
