Lingxi took out a small piece of apple from his sleeve and fed it to Brother Wren, and slapped the cage twice with his hand. Brother Wren jumped onto the highest stand of the cage and sang loudly again, "Mo Dao is not **, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers~"

For a while, the Changle Hall was quiet, and even the sound of the tassels on the concubine's head touching could be heard, and even An Guifei, who had been eating tea with peace of mind as if no one was around, also looked at Brother Wren.

Empress Dowager Cui looked at the wren brother in the cage, with a slight smile on her face, and she couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart.

Cui Guifei saw that a wren brother took the limelight in front of the concubines, and she couldn't help but be proud. He put down his eight-treasure earrings with his hand and said, "This is specially trained in the warm garden, in order to make the Empress Dowager Bo smile." ”

Empress Dowager Cui still didn't speak, and she still had an indifferent smile on her face.

The other concubines saw that the Queen Mother did not express her position, and it was difficult for them to interject. Only Hui Guifei stood up and clapped her hands and praised, "It's really amazing~ This wren brother can read words, if he trains for a few more days, I'm afraid he can write the right poems like others~"

Cui Guifei knew that Concubine Hui was giving her the stairs, but she still twitched the corners of her mouth and said contemptuously, "It's just a plaything, can you turn the sky upside down?" ”

"Reward!" Empress Dowager Cui suddenly clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "Heavy reward!" ”

As he spoke, he took off the agate ring he was wearing on his hand and handed it to Jasper, allowing Jasper to take it to Lingxi.

Lingxi hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

When the concubines saw that the Empress Dowager Cui was happy, all kinds of praise words were thrown out, and they held this wren brother only in the sky, like a divine bird.

"The Queen Mother is happy," Cui Guifei held back the smile on the corner of her mouth and flattered, "Smile more, even the flowers in the imperial garden will bloom a few days earlier than in previous years." ”

Empress Dowager Cui didn't answer Cui Guifei's words, and looked at Brother Wren and said leisurely, "The first acquaintance between the mourning family and the former emperor was in Cui's mansion." On that day, the first emperor paid a private visit, and the mourning family happened to embroider a handkerchief and showed it to his father...... A beaded curtain ......" Empress Dowager Cui had a slight smile on her face, squinting her eyes, as if recalling the past, "and bumped into ......"

The concubine who was sitting with a small face was already flushed with her cheeks, bowed her head and smiled slightly, and her eyes were watery. Most of them are raised in the deep boudoir, and the men they saw before entering the palace are nothing more than their fathers and brothers.

Of course, there are also those who only smile slightly, such as Queen Wang, Dong Guifei, and Cui Guifei. Empress Wang and Dong Guifei entered the palace early, and this allusion has long been mentioned, while Cui Guifei heard her grandfather mention it when she was in Cui's mansion.

Empress Dowager Cui smiled shyly on her face, but her heart was as cold as ice.

It was true that she and the former emperor met each other through the curtain, but it was someone else who really looked at her across the curtain. If it weren't for the fact that she was in a hurry to show the embroidered handkerchief to her sweetheart that day, how could she meet the prince who was out of the palace to play. If it weren't for her father's intentional matchmaking, how could she be trapped in this deep palace for decades, living a life of worrying and worrying all day long?

And her good brother Cui Jingren knows all this. Could it be that he sent this wren to himself really to please himself?

Empress Dowager Cui looked at Cui Guifei with another layer of color, her good granddaughter Cui Xueyao Cui Guifei has been pregnant with a dragon fetus for more than three months. If this fetus gives birth to a boy, then the position of the prince of the middle palace ......

Empress Dowager Cui was so angry that her chest ached, brother, brother, the current emperor has half of the Cui family's blood in his body, do you think that the next emperor will also be the queen of the Cui family? What kind of ambition is this, how can the emperor not be careful?

Even if you want to keep the Cui family's favor undiminished, you have to plan slowly, and you can't rush it. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this Cui Guifei, Empress Dowager Cui was dissatisfied.

First, because when Cui Guifei was born, Empress Dowager Cui had already ascended the throne of the Queen Mother, and she had no relatives with this Cui Guifei. The second is that Empress Dowager Cui meant to let Cui Xueyao, the grandson of Cui Mansion, that is, Cui Guifei, marry the current prince. But Uncle Cui Guo held a banquet at home and pushed Cui Xueyao to the emperor's bed when Weifu paid a private visit to the Cui family.

In the Dashun royal family, there is a precedent for a niece to marry a cousin, which is not a big deal, the important thing is that the Empress Dowager Cui blames Uncle Cui for his short-sightedness.

The Tao is different, not the same!

Since Cui Xueyao entered the palace as a concubine five years ago, Empress Dowager Cui has intentionally or unintentionally alienated the Cui family. She is already the queen mother, and she is old, this harem and the battle in the court, she is looking at it less, just seeking to calm down.

But today, the wren brother sent by Uncle Cui Guo made her grit her silver teeth with hatred, which was clearly threatening her! Even if she is the queen mother, even if the current emperor is her biological son, if there is such a thing that damages the reputation of the royal family, I am afraid that it is a delusion for her to enjoy her old age in this eternal life palace.

"The story of the Queen Mother and the former emperor is a good story, which makes countless concubines in the palace envious." The concubine said lightly with a proper smile on her face.

Empress Dowager Cui shook her head and smiled, the tassel in the phoenix's mouth shook slightly, "What good stories are not good, they have passed...... After the emperor left, the heart of the mourning family followed, and now I hope that you can give the emperor more branches, so that my old woman can be more happy~"

As he spoke, he looked at Cui Guifei's abdomen.

The three-month pregnancy period is not enough to show her pregnancy, Cui Guifei blushed and put her hand on her stomach, looking shy.

"It's still a blessing for Concubine Cui Gui," Queen Wang said with a smile, "The youngest ninth princess in the palace is now four years old, and this time add a smaller one, so that the ninth princess will also be the second imperial sister." ”

The pure concubine who gave birth to the ninth princess heard Queen Wang mention the ninth princess, and hurriedly smiled, "Exactly, the ninth princess was still making trouble asking for a little sister a few days ago~"

Cui Guifei originally smiled properly, but when she heard the words of the pure concubine, she suddenly laughed openly, and said, "Then let the ninth princess wait a little longer, Zhou Yizheng said that this baby in this palace is a prince......

The position of the pure concubine is not as high as that of Cui Guifei, and the family is not as big as the Cui family, so she hurriedly flattered, "Oh, that's really a big joy, my sister is here to say hello to my sister." ”

The smile on Cui Guifei's face became even more proud.

"Okay, look at what makes you happy~ whether it's the prince or the princess, in the final analysis, it's all our royal blood, they all like it, they all like it." Empress Dowager Cui smiled and said to Lingxi, who was still standing on the side, "What's your name?" ”

Lingxi immediately blessed, and said, "Returning to the Queen Mother, the slave's name is Lingxi." ”

The hall was quiet again, and after a while, the concubines who couldn't help it started talking in small voices, not loud, but they could be heard.

Dong Guifei held the teacup with a slight pause, and then ate the tea like no one. She had already felt the scrutinizing gaze of Empress Dowager Cui, and she also saw Queen Wang looking like she was watching a good show.

Cui Guifei looked at Dong Guifei like she was nothing, as if she didn't know about it. Empress Dowager Cui swept her eyes, and she was so frightened that she immediately put away her smug expression, and smashed the tea bowl in front of Lingxi with apricot eyes, and said, "This is your cheap palace maid!" Dare to call it Lingxi, don't you know that Dong Guifei's sister's palace is called Lingxi Palace? ”

Lingxi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and the wren in the cage next to him was so frightened that he howled loudly in the cage. She finally understood why Mrs. Guo named her Lingxi, and finally understood the meaning of those minions sneering in Cui Guifei's palace. It turned out that unconsciously, she had involuntarily become someone else's pawn.

Lingxi kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and pleaded guilty for the crimes he didn't know. She was a killer in her last life, with no name and only a code name. I thought that I could be a normal person in this life, but I didn't expect that a name could become a reason for others to punish themselves for capital crimes.

A pair of palace shoes embroidered with lotus patterns on the green bottom stopped in front of Lingxi, and the white and smooth hand helped Lingxi up from the ground, and said, "This palace thinks that this child is very close to me." ”

Lingxi stood up with the strength of that hand, and saw a beautiful woman in her forties, wearing a dark pink cardigan skirt and a bun like Cui Guifei's hair, smiling at her.

Concubine Dong Guifei pulled up the spirit rhino, looked at the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, the concubine wants to ask for a favor." The concubine likes this child when she sees it, and the name is also worthy of the concubine's Lingxi Palace, so it's better to let her follow the concubine. ”

Empress Dowager Cui took Dong Guifei's hand and patted her lightly, "In the end, you are still sensible." But this grievance can't let you suffer in vain," he said, turning back to Cui Guifei and said, "After thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, let's raise the baby with peace of mind." ”

Cui Guifei was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Auntie! ”

Empress Dowager Cui made a straight face and said sharply, "The mourning family said that in this harem, there is an emperor before you." The mourning family is your mother-in-law first, and then your aunt and grandmother! ”

Cui Guifei had never seen Empress Dowager Cui speak so fiercely to herself, and just wanted to kneel down to ask for guilt, but she heard Empress Dowager Cui say again, "I think you have a dragon fetus in your womb, so you don't want to bow and retreat." ”

Cui Guifei retreated with a pale face, leaving a hall of concubines who did not dare to speak.

"Kneel down too." Empress Dowager Cui's face returned to calm, and she said to the concubines in the hall.

Queen Wang stood up with a decent smile, she had seen enough of today's play, and she enjoyed it. took the concubines and said to the Empress Dowager Cui, "The concubines have retired......"

Concubine Dong Guifei didn't leave, because the Queen Mother never let go of her hand. Lingxi didn't leave, because no one asked her to retreat, and besides, Concubine Dong Guifei didn't let go of her hand.

In the blink of an eye, only the Empress Dowager Cui, Concubine Dong, Jade and Lingxi were left in the originally lively hall.

"You have been wronged today...... Empress Dowager Cui comforted.

Concubine Dong lowered her head and said softly, "There is a queen mother protecting the concubines, and the concubines are not wronged." ”

"She is still young, and she will inevitably be petty in her life, and she has been used to it since she was a child...... If you are a sister, take care of it. Dong Guifei hurriedly said yes

Empress Dowager Cui sighed, comforted Concubine Dong a few more words, chatted a few words, and said, "Go back, come over for the palace banquet early in the evening, and sit beside the mourning family......"

Concubine Dong Guifei was blessed, let go of Lingxi's hand and retreated. How could she not understand what the Empress Dowager Cui meant, if she stayed in the palace of the Empress Dowager Cui for a few more moments, the concubines in the harem would respect herself more. This is Empress Dowager Cui's compensation for herself in the matter of Lingxi.

After thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, hum! Dong Guifei sneered in her heart, grounding, isn't it a kind of protection?
