Being in a high position, a collection of thousands of favors, surrounded by delicate children and daughters, everything that a woman in the harem wants, Lingxi has gotten.

But what is happiness?

Lingxi blinked twice, looking at Qin Meiren who was looking straight at him and was silent for a long time.

Just when Qin Meiren was frightened by her words, Lingxi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Bengong is very happy, as you said, Bengong has everything, what is there to be unhappy?" ”

After hearing this, Qin Meiren shook her head lightly, and said softly to Lingxi, "Ye Guifei Niangniang, the concubine likes to draw since she was a child, and the concubine likes to look at the fish in the pond and the birds in the air, which are active on the rice paper under the concubine's pen. But the concubine's mother asked the concubine to learn music and play the guqin. Because the mother is the heir of the guqin, the concubine can only become the heir of the guqin. Qin Meiren looked at the faint scar on the back of her hand, and the smile on her face was also faint, "The concubine worked very hard, and after ten years of hard practice, her piano skills surpassed that of the concubine's mother." But after the limelight in her grandfather's house, the concubine didn't feel the slightest happiness...... Ye Guifei Niangniang, that's not what the concubine wants, so the concubine is unhappy. ”

Lingxi sat up slightly and smiled at Qin Meiren, who had tears in her eyes, "Your mother, she only put down a guqin in front of you, you only have a guqin, do you have any other choice but to play the guqin?" ”

Qin Meiren shook her head, "The concubine has no choice......"

"So Hongu is very happy." Lingxi looked at Qin Meiren's flat lower abdomen, raised her eyebrows and said, "You will be very happy in the future, it has nothing to do with whether you want to or not, because you have no choice." ”

Qin Meiren closed her eyes, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with a sneer, "The concubine understands......"

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Yong'an, it is the Shangyuan Festival of the year, and the family banquet of the palace is held in the Baohe Palace as in previous years.

As soon as Lingxi walked into the Bohol Hall holding the hand of the lotus leaf, he saw Concubine Ren who had been calling herself sick and did not even appear at the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet from a distance.

Concubine Ren wore a palace dress embroidered with butterflies in lake green. With a lily bun on his head and a hairpin full of pearls, he sat in his former position.

After Lingxi held her waist and sat down with a big belly, Concubine Ren said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your belly is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Lingxi looked back at Concubine Ren, only to feel that Concubine Ren's skin was even whiter and more tender than the last time she saw her, it was actually white and a little transparent, and even the thin blood vessels under the skin could be seen.

"The belly of the palace is a trivial matter," Lingxi smiled at Concubine Ren, "but your skin is really getting whiter and tenderer." ”

Concubine Ren put her hand on her face, leaned over lightly and whispered to Lingxi, "I used the skin-nourishing powder I brought from Otsuki, but I haven't used it before, and I only remembered it recently. It's better than the gouache you use on weekdays. ”

Lingxi saw Concubine Ren's expression and knew that Concubine Ren was making up, and couldn't help but chuckle, "It's like the real thing, it's not been a year or two since I knew you, why haven't I heard anything about you before." ”

"It's so boring to talk to you." Concubine Ren smiled, "You don't cooperate if you know it's a lie." ”

"Cooperate with you?" Lingxi stretched out his hand and pinched Concubine Ren, and said with a smile, "That's really boring......

The two were chatting, when they heard a shout outside, Concubine Rou arrived.

Concubine Ren stood up from the table and chuckled at Lingxi, who was still sitting firmly in her seat, in the sound of ringing and clanging, "I owed you a big gift that I wanted to give you today, but the person who gave the gift is gone. So you'll have to wait a few more days, I'm not the one in debt. ”

Lingxi raised his head slightly, looked at Concubine Ren wearing a tender yellow shawl and chuckled, "Tomorrow after tomorrow, this palace should really charge you interest, lest you drag the birth of a child in this palace." ”

Lingxi's words were slow, and after she finished speaking, Concubine Rou had already walked in front of Lingxi, and the concubines in the palace also bowed down to Concubine Rou in unison.

Concubine Rou didn't let the concubine who saluted her get up, but walked up to Lingxi, who was sitting on the table and didn't move, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ye's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the palace still thinks you won't attend?" ”

Lingxi bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "Imperial Doctor Wang said that it is better to walk more." It's just that the body is getting heavier and heavier, and I'm too lazy to move when I sit here, so please don't mind Concubine Rou......"

"The emperor and the empress dowager have exempted you from saluting," Concubine Rou smiled softly, "Where does this palace dare to mind you." ”

said that she didn't mind, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Concubine Rou's eyes. It's just that now Lingxi's status is only higher than her, not lower than her, and she can't say anything.

Concubine Rou arrived in less than half a cup of tea, and Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager Xiaohe arrived.

The Shangyuan Palace banquet officially began. The silk and bamboo ceremonial music sounded, and the dancers also entered one after another, dancing with nothing new.

Now the most favored in the harem is the Qin beauty who has just recovered her position, and the new Moyu beauty of Emperor Yong'an a few days ago.

When the palace banquet lasted for half an hour, after Xiao and the Empress Dowager took the lead in leaving, Emperor Yong'an summoned these two people to the main seat, one left and one right accompanied him, raised a glass and drank together, and smiled so happily.

An Xiaowan sat under Concubine Xian's hand, and when she saw this, she could only smile bitterly, and swallowed the spicy liquor cup after glass.

Lingxi Mei's eyes looked at An Xiaowan's lost look in her eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart, feeling more and more worthless for An Xiaowan.

After sitting for a while, Lingxi felt that his body was sleepy, and he wanted to retreat to Luoxue Pavilion.

Concubine Ren grabbed Lingxi's hand and smiled mysteriously at Lingxi, "Ye Guifei is slow, I just hastily calculated a hexagram, and I found that at this time, it was extremely dangerous, and it was rushing at the pregnant woman with both bodies." ”

Lingxi couldn't help but laugh when she was amused by Concubine Ren, and said that Concubine Ren was messing around.

Concubine Ren handed her gaze to An Xiaowan's seat, and smiled at Lingxi, "Recently, there is a new play in the palace, Shuanglong Playing Pearl, don't you even leave without looking at it?" ”

Lingxi followed Concubine Ren's gaze, only to find that Qin Meiren was holding a wine cup in her hand, and she was already standing softly in front of An Xiaowan.

An Xiaowan had been eating and drinking in a trance, until Qin Meiren saluted her, and then she realized that there was one more person in front of her.

Qin Meiren's voice was soft, and she smiled at An Xiaowan and said, "Wangui Concubine Niangniang, in the past, the concubine was ignorant and made Wangui Concubine Niangniang angry. With today's beautiful scenery, the concubine respects Wangui Niangniang with a cup, and hopes that Wangui Niangniang will not worry about the little woman who doesn't know anything about the concubine. ”

As she spoke, she looked back at Emperor Yong'an, who was staring at her, and lowered her head with a shy face.

An Xiaowan stood up from the table, raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Yong'an, who was far away from her, with a soft smile on her face, only to feel that her whole heart was torn apart.

Taking a deep breath, An Xiaowan put a smile on her face, and said softly to Qin Meiren, "Qin Meiren has always been the most sensible, how come this palace doesn't know that Qin Meiren has something to make this palace angry......"

"How?" Qin Meiren's face had a trace of sadness, "Isn't Sister Wangui unwilling to eat this glass of wine from the concubine?" ”

After that, he looked back at Emperor Yong'an with tears in his eyes and looked back at Emperor Yong'an. It's just that Emperor Yong'an was whispering something to Moyu Beauty at this time, and he didn't look at Qin Meiren and An Xiaowan.

An Xiaowan smiled and said, "Qin Meiren respects the wine of the palace, of course the palace has to eat." ”

As she spoke, An Xiaowan stretched out her right hand to pick up the white jade wine cup in Qin Meiren's hand. Seeing this, Qin Meiren happily handed the wine cup in her hand to An Xiaowan's hand......

But just when An Xiaowan's hand just touched the wine cup, Qin Meiren's right hand suddenly flashed outward, as if she had been beaten away.

The white jade wine cup embossed with the peony flower pattern came out of his hand, fell to the ground outside the battle, and shattered with a bang.

An Xiaowan's hand was stunned, and she looked at Qin Meiren with an incredulous expression.

Qin Meiren was also frightened, but the words she whispered were vicious, "You also deserve to eat my toast?" I'm just pretending, you don't know what to do. Now that I am pregnant with a dragon heir in my womb and am deeply favored by the emperor, what are you? Unsalted appearance, ugly people do a lot of weirdness, do you really think you are a fairy? ”

"Smack!"

This time, it was the sound of An Xiaowan's right hand slapping Qin Meiren's face.

The Baohe Hall was silent in an instant, and everyone looked at An Xiaowan and Qin Meiren.

Qin Meiren slapped An Xiaowan, her whole body leaned to the side, and finally fell to the ground.

Covering her left cheek, Qin Meiren turned around and cried to An Xiaowan, "Sister Wan, what did the concubine do wrong?" ”

An Xiaowan was so angry by Qin Meiren's previous words that her chest rose and fell violently, and her right hand that did not fall was still trembling slightly.

She looked at Qin Meiren, who fell dramatically, and sneered, "Don't call me Sister Bengong, how dare Bengong have a sister like you." ”

With a pain in her wrist, An Xiaowan turned around and saw that Emperor Yong'an had walked to her side at some point.

Looking at the anger on Emperor Yong'an's face, An Xiaowan's tears fell, and she said to Emperor Yong'an in a trembling voice, "Yilang, it's painful ......"

Emperor Yong'an shook off An Xiaowan's hand vigorously, pointed at Qin Meiren lying on the ground and said angrily to An Xiaowan, "Concubine Wan, you are presumptuous!" Qin Meiren just came to toast you with a glass of wine, and if you don't drink it, why bother to knock over the wine cup and slap her first. ”

"I didn't ......" An Xiaowan pointed to Qin Meiren on the ground, and muttered to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, didn't you see that the wine cup was overturned by herself, and it was she who overturned it herself......"

Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth, his voice was full of disappointment, "Could it be that the slap was also slapped in the face by Qin Meiren herself?" ”

Emperor Yong'an sat at the angle of the main seat, and he really didn't see how the wine cup was overturned. But An Xiaowan's slap on the beauty of Qin was really real. Not only Emperor Yong'an, but the entire Baohe Hall saw that slap really well.

Qin Meiren maintained the posture of falling, covering her left cheek and whispering to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, it's not good to be a concubine." Sister Wan, no, Concubine Wan is in a bad mood, and the concubine shouldn't come to toast at this time. It's the concubine who is wrong, the concubine who is wrong......"

As he spoke, he looked at An Xiaowan and said with pleading eyes in his eyes, "Wan Gui Concubine, the concubine didn't want to rob you of the emperor, there is really no ......"

"I didn't ......" An Xiaowan reached out to grab Emperor Yong'an's hand, but was dodged by Emperor Yong'an, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it......"

"Concubine Xian, Concubine Yigui......" An Xiaowan looked to the sides and said anxiously, "You just sit on the side, you are speaking fairly." ”

Concubine Xian, who was sitting on An Xiaowan's hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said with a flickering eye, "Concubine Wan, just now this palace was gossiping with Concubine Rou, and she didn't look at you......"

Concubine Yi raised her eyes and looked at An Xiaowan, and then looked in the direction of Lingxi. After weighing the pros and cons of the gift roller, he said softly to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't see how the wine cup was overturned, and the concubine only saw what happened later...... As for what Qin Meiren said about robbing you, the concubine has never heard it......"

As soon as Concubine Yigui's words fell, Qin Meiren was already holding her lower abdomen and screaming miserably, "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine's stomach hurts...... Your Majesty, our children ......"

An Xiaowan's face turned pale, and her eyes when she looked up at Emperor Yong'an were already full of horror. She hurriedly grabbed Emperor Yong'an's arm and cried and explained, "I didn't hit her hard, I just touched her and fell." Your Majesty, I really don't, she said that I have no salt, and she said that I don't deserve to eat her toast......"

"Just because she said you were unsalted, you were going to knock her to the ground?" Emperor Yong'an pinched An Xiaowan's chin, stared at the scar on An Xiaowan's left face, and said fiercely, "Concubine Wan, I thought you were still as beautiful as before, but I didn't want to, your heart is uglier than your face......"

Your heart is uglier than your face......

An Xiaowan's world collapsed, and she couldn't hear anything else in her ears. Tears slipped down her eyes, and she only dimly saw Emperor Yong'an saying something in front of her with an angry face.

“…… From today on, you will have a good closed door in your Yiyang Palace, and don't come out without my will! Emperor Yong'an pushed An Xiaowan away from his eyes, squatted down and hugged the Qin Meiren on the ground into his arms, and strode towards the inner hall of the Baohe Palace, while saying to Feng Gong, "Go and call the imperial doctor quickly!" ”

Looking at the background of Emperor Yong'an's departure, An Xiaowan knelt down with a puff, trembled her lips, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines, the concubines ask for a decree, enter the cold palace......"

Emperor Yong'an stopped, holding Qin Meiren's hand and didn't feel that he had used eighty percent of his strength, and the anger in his heart was even stronger.

"Wan Guifei, are you really reluctant?"

An Xiaowan slammed her head on the ground, and said again in frustration, "Concubine, please enter the cold palace......"

"Accurate!"
