Outside the Weiyang Palace of Weiyang Palace, the concubine is wearing a peach-colored cloak, with a side bun on her head, a row of bead flowers tied with east beads on the left side, and a crystal bead on the right side is a golden step shake with a tassel.

Lingxi wore a snow-white fox fur cape, a lily bun on his head, a set of three green jade hairpins on the left side, and two lily beads made of silver on the right side, which shone brightly under the snow.

Lotus Ye and Xiang Er stood behind Lingxi's concubines, each holding a gorgeous brocade box in their hands. What was contained in the brocade box was the night pearl given to them by Emperor Yong'an.

Seeing the light rain, Concubine Xian went to the Weiyang Hall to spread the word, held the stove in her hand, opened her mouth and let out a puff of white gas, and laughed quietly, "Sister, do you think the queen will let us in?" ”

Lingxi lowered her head and smiled, the jade butterfly earrings on her ears crossed her cheeks, giving birth to a hint of coolness, "I guess the queen is very embarrassed, so let's not make trouble for her." ”

The door in the middle of the Weiyang Hall was not closed, and in the flickering corners of the skirt, it could be discerned that there were three first-class palace maids inside.

Empress Zhu has a total of four first-class palace maids, and after Feiduo was taken as a concubine by Emperor Yong'an, Empress Zhu did not fill in the palace maids, so there were only three palace maids left in the Weiyang Palace.

But just now, Qingyu went to the inner hall to pass the message to the queen, which means that one of the big palace maids in the middle room is not from Weiyang Palace.

In addition, Empress Zhu sent all the palace maids around her, and after a little thought, Ling Xi guessed that there were guests in Empress Zhu's palace, and that person was most likely extremely close to Empress Zhu.

Lingxi beckoned to the palace maid in the inner hall, and in a moment, Ziwan came out.

Lingxi and Ziwan were polite, and after instructing Xiang'er and Lotus Leaf to hand over the brocade box to Ziwan, they turned around in Ziwan's sound of "Xian Concubine Niangniang walks slowly, and Yingmei walks slowly".

Out of Weiyang Palace, Lingxi smiled at Concubine Xian in a low voice, "There are distinguished guests in the queen's palace, and we don't please her if we are freezing outside, so it's better to put down your things and go back early to tease the third prince." ”

Concubine Xian had a little pretty nose and said with a smile, "Your eyes are in charge, and you can see the inner hall of Weiyang Palace." ”

Lingxi pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't tell.

The two of them did not sit in a soft sedan chair, but walked back step by step through the imperial garden hand in hand. In winter, it is cold, and it is not as warm as walking in a soft sedan car.

After passing the Zichen Palace, Lingxi's eyes looked at the East Sixth Palace.

Now she lives in the West Sixth Palace, and she hasn't returned to the Longevity Palace for a year. Lingxi calculated carefully in his heart, Xiaohe Empress Dowager's birthday was the third day of December, and now more than ten days have passed.

Lingxi closed his eyes, his heart was sour, and he didn't know how the Empress Dowager was doing now.

Concubine Xian shook Lingxi's cold little hand and asked lightly, "Do you want to go and see?" ”

Lingxi shook his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little stiff, "Don't look at it, only concubines from the third rank or above can ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye." I am a beauty from the fourth grade, and I am not worthy of stepping into the Yongshou Palace. ”

is also not worthy of seeing filial piety and the empress dowager again, she is ashamed of filial piety and the empress dowager's love for her for many years.

Yongshou Palace, the palace that is now vacant. It once lived in the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, who loved Lingxi like a granddaughter, lived in Li Chenfeng, the Rui King who was like a sister to Lingxi, and also lived in the princess of Allure who traveled to this great Shun Dynasty like Lingxi and couldn't stop for a while.

But it's such a place full of memories, and Lingxi doesn't even have the qualifications to go in and see things and think about people......

Lingxi looked up at the blue sky above the overlapping buildings, and said yearning to Xian Concubine, "Sister, if I successfully left the palace last year, what kind of life are I living now?" Do you think my father and mother will be happy to see me? ”

Concubine Xian let go of Lingxi's hand, and her heart was mixed. After a long time, he grabbed Lingxi again and said, "Xi'er, don't think about those boundless things." In this palace, as long as you and I sisters are of the same heart, we will definitely stand on a place......"

"When you are old, move into the palace, and slowly wait for death...... Lingxi took the words of the concubine, and the meaning was all desolate.

A wild goose chirped across the sky, as if catering to what Lingxi said......

On the tenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Yong'an, Liu of the Ice Palace died.

Liu's father is Liu Jinren, the left scattered cavalry under the four products above the court, and his family is also a large force in the capital, attached to Zuo Shangshu Zhu Xian**.

Because of this, after Liu was beaten into the cold palace, Liu Jinren's political career was not affected much.

After Liu's death, Emperor Yong'an ordered him to be buried according to the position of the five talents, and did not throw the corpse in the wilderness, which was regarded as giving face to the Zhu family and the Liu family, and also giving face to the three princesses who were fostered in the palace of the concubines.

Emperor Yong'an's eldest princess Qingluo was born to Empress Zhu, one year older than Emperor Yonghe's youngest daughter, the ninth princess Yiqing, and she is already fifteen years old this year, which is the age of marriage. But because there is still a little aunt on it, the marriage is also suppressed.

The second princess Qingman was born to Concubine Ying, and she is 14 years old this year, which is also the age of flowers.

Although the third princess Qingmiao is younger than the eldest princess and the second princess, she is also twelve years old, and she can already distinguish right and wrong in this palace.

Therefore, when she went to Weiyang Palace to ask An to meet Lingxi on weekdays, the eyes of the third princess always showed hostility.

The hint of hostility made Lingxi clearly realize that her biggest enemy at the moment was not the concubines in the harem, but the third princess who was a head shorter than herself, and who opened her mouth and closed her mouth.

As a princess, the third princess naturally can't talk about the status of Emperor Yong'an on the same day as the concubines. Even if Emperor Yongan despises the princess again, if the concubine and the princess have a dispute, the final result must be, "She is just a child, as a mother concubine, do you have to get along with a junior?" ”

Lingxi looked at the undisguised hatred on the white little face of the third princess, and there was only one thought in her heart. That is, sooner or later, I will ask your father to marry you to Otsuki and his relatives! I can't come back for the rest of my life.

The third princess's hatred for Lingxi lasted for half a year, and when Lingxi met the third princess again in the imperial garden in Yangchun March, her face was much calmer, and the hatred in her eyes was much calmer.

For this kind of improved situation, Lingxi will naturally not provoke right and wrong again, the third princess is already twelve years old, and she will be married in another two years. No matter how strong the hatred of the third princess is at that time, can she still pass through the three-foot-thick palace wall of the Dashun Palace?

On the eighth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an sealed the ninth princess Yiqing as the princess of Zhengyi Tianran, and gave the marriage of Dayue Kingdom as a concubine.

After hearing the news, Lingxi directly dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.

In the third year of Yong'an, the princess of Allure was given the Great Moon Kingdom as the queen, and when the princess of Allure ran away halfway, this is something that the entire harem knows. Emperor Yong'an spent two years looking for Princess Allure, and he had been dealing with Dayue Kingdom for two years.

However, why did you marry the ninth princess as a concubine in the past? Shouldn't it be for the last, right?

After thinking about it, Lingxi was finally relieved.

Two years have passed, and it is not impossible for the Great Moon Kingdom to set up its own women as the queen when dealing with the Great Shun Dynasty. Besides, the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom is married to the Dashun Dynasty as a concubine, and the princess of the Dashun Dynasty will have no reason to do anything after marrying in the past.

Princess Tianran's wedding was arranged in early May, and after the ceremony, she was escorted by the envoy to Dayue.

In June of the fifth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an wantonly entered the palace concubines.

The concubine who gave birth to the second princess Qingman was the concubine, the concubine who gave birth to the second prince was the concubine, the concubine who gave birth to the third prince was the concubine, the concubine who gave birth to the third prince was the concubine, and the concubine was Cao Gui, and the fourth princess Qingyao was born to the concubine, and the rest of the concubines who did not give birth to children were all entered the first level.

After the holy decree, the Lingxi was also enshrined from the four-grade warbler beauty to the four-grade warbler Jieyu, and still lived in the Yilan Palace.

The concubines in the harem were all elated, and Concubine Xin even ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to pack up their things overnight, just waiting for the canonization ceremony to move into the main hall of Anding Palace.

But there are still a few unhappy concubines among the concubines, such as the noble concubine who has been sealed with the position of a third-grade noble concubine. After receiving the holy decree, Rou Guifei sent the eunuch out of the Hehuan Hall with a smile on her front foot, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the Hehuan Hall with her back foot.

She was unwilling, and the concubine who only gave birth to one princess became a concubine in two levels, and the concubine of the small family who gave birth to the third prince was named a concubine, and even the concubine Cao who had nothing to come out was also a concubine. Why, why is her family background noble, but she only gave birth to a second prince and only made a noble concubine? Why did she want to say hello to Concubine Ying when she saw Concubine Ying in the future, why!

Concubine Rou has never hated Empress Zhu so much as she does now, if it weren't for her, if she wasn't the queen, how could she be treated like this? The same is the daughter of the Zhu family, the same is the same as the Zhu family's solid favor, why can Queen Zhu sit on a high phoenix throne and accept the bowing of the concubines, and she has to kneel down to worship others!

On June 15, all the concubines went to Weiyang Palace to be canonized.

Concubine Ying received the golden seal from the second-grade concubine given by Emperor Yong'an herself, and Queen Zhu personally gave her a hairpin from the second-grade hairpin.

Rou noble concubines, Xian noble concubines, Cao concubines, received the golden book of three grades given by Emperor Yong'an himself, and Queen Zhu personally gave them hairpins of three grades.

Xin Concubine, Yu Concubine, Ling Concubine and others received the three-grade gold book from Emperor Yong'an from the three-grade concubine, and Queen Zhu personally gave them hairpins from the three-grade hairpins.

There is no gold seal or gold book for the positions below the fourth grade Jieyu, and the hairpin of her grade is not the hairpin of Queen Zhu herself, but is only placed on a tray covered with red cloth and held in front of the low-level concubines.

Even so, this canonization ceremony was lively in Weiyang Palace all day, and by the time it dispersed, it was already full of sunset.

That night, the noble concubine came to the Yilan Palace, touched Lingxi's stomach and frowned, "Why didn't your stomach move?" ”

Lingxi is also puzzled, although Emperor Yong'an is no longer as infatuated with her as Yong'an was when he was in the fourth year, he still summons her for seven or eight days in January, but why is there no news about her belly?

"Otherwise, let's bring in a doctor to recuperate." Xian Guifei whispered, "If you are pregnant with a dragon heir as soon as possible, you can also seal the concubine position as soon as possible and occupy the position of the head of the first palace." ”

Lingxi didn't know this truth, so he nodded, "Tomorrow, I will ask Lotus Ye to call Imperial Doctor Liu, who is good at this field, to take a look for me." If there is nothing to do, I can wait with peace of mind, if there is something really ......"

"If there is really something, then prescribe a few pairs of medicines to recuperate your body......" Xian Guifei hurriedly continued.
