That night, Lingxi lay on Emperor Yong'an's chest, his eyes closed lightly, and his face was sweaty but not flushed.

Emperor Yong'an lowered his head, pulled up the brocade quilt, and covered Lingxi's body, and said, "I'm tired of you." ”

Lingxi shook his head, hugged Emperor Yong'an tightly with his slender arms, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to sleep." When you leave, be sure to wake up your concubines......"

"When you're tired, you can rest well, and what are you doing when you get up?" Emperor Yong'an patted Lingxi's delicate shoulder and squinted lightly.

"The concubine wants to change the emperor's clothes with her own hands...... Lingxi's words were already vague.

Emperor Yong'an opened his eyes and saw that the spirit rhino was curled up in his arms like a cat, breathing steadily, and he was already asleep.

Early the next morning, Lingxi slept until three o'clock before opening his eyes.

Got up and sat up, and the ink-like green silk hung down on the snow-white back, covering a little spring light.

Holding the quilt in his arms, Lingxi looked at the various things outside the gauze tent, and his ears rang slightly.

People are like this, if they live in misery all the time, they will grit their teeth and fight for it. But if one day, a person stands up and gives a glimmer of hope, then he will have high hopes for that glimmer of hope.

No matter how vague and unreal that hope may be.

Lingxi cut off his unrealistic hope with his own hands.

No matter what kind of power King Ning will gain in the future, she will not benefit from it. What if King Ning had affection for her? If King Ning can ascend the throne and have three thousand beautiful relatives in the harem, is there still a place for himself? If King Ning is unlucky and can't sit on the country, then the relationship between her and King Ning will become a poison that kills herself and King Ning.

If there is no harm and no benefit, why continue?

Qiaozhu walked in from outside, and when he saw that Lingxi had already sat up, he stretched out his hand to open the red silk tent.

Qiaozhu put the silk tent in his hand again, and then knelt in front of the bed, without saying a word.

Lingxi raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and said, "I want to bathe." ”

Qiaozhu kowtowed, turned around and went out.

On July 28, the eighth year of Yong'an, when Lingxi came back from the Zichen Palace, Lotus Ye said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Shen Feng has been transferred out of Yongshou Palace......

Lingxi paused, bowed his head slightly, and the four tassels on his bun swayed slightly.

Lotus Ye held Lingxi's other arm and called softly, "Niangniang......"

Lingxi raised his head, smiled brightly, without a trace of sadness on his face, and raised his eyebrows, "That's good, isn't it?" To each of you, he shall be his prince and prepare for the throne. I am my imperial concubine, and I will try my best to live in this palace. ”

Looking at the delicate sun in the sky in all directions, Lingxi's heart was cold, but he smiled brightly, "As long as I live, when Yi'er leaves the palace and builds a mansion, maybe there will be the blessing of Concubine Jinghui, and maybe I will live with Yi'er." At that point, I'll be able to go where I want to go......"

The lotus leaf and Qiaozhu were silent, and they didn't say anything more.

On July 29, the eighth year of Yong'an, the second birthday of the fifth prince, the harem was lively again.

Although Concubine Ying has not been sealed, she has already shown the bearing of the world.

Or it can be seen that as long as Lingxi is given a trace of life, Lingxi will not fight with her to the end, or Lingxi is afraid of Lingxi's grandeur at this time and does not dare to do it easily, or Lingxi's recent appearance of more respect for her, in short, Concubine Ying no longer regards Lingxi as a thorn in her eye as she did half a month ago.

Whatever the reason, this made Lingxi breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Lingxi is not afraid of Concubine Ying, but the power behind Concubine Ying cannot be underestimated. Although Pan Changfei is not as powerful as Zhu Xian back then, his style of doing things and his personality are deeply valued by Emperor Yong'an.

In this situation, it would be unwise to be an enemy of Concubine Ying.

In the early morning of the 29th, the first congratulatory gift of Concubine Ying arrived at Luoxue Pavilion. A jade Ruyi, a hanging inlaid with gold and jade step shake.

The five princes have always loved to shake, but it is not a taboo.

Concubine Rou gave a suite of four treasures, a jade pendant carved from white marble.

Concubine Ren presented a pair of horses made of crystal.

Xian Guifei gave a collar inlaid with gold and jade, plus some small clothes and shoes embroidered by herself. She took Lingxi's hand and said affectionately, "There is no shortage of precious objects for the five princes, and these should all be my aunt's wishes." If it's old or broken, I'll make it for him. ”

Lingxi took it with a smile, and after the concubine left, she let the lotus leaf take it down and inspect it carefully, and then put it in the warehouse, with no intention of letting the five princes wear it at all.

Cao Guifei's life became more and more unpleasant, and she gave a pair of small bracelets made of red gold with small bells.

The concubines and concubines also gave a lot of objects according to their positions, and the concubines alone are thoughtful. In addition to giving the five princes a delicate little padlock, they also gave the five princesses a pair of jade bracelets.

The fifth princess took the pair of small bracelets, and sweetly called Concubine Yu to Concubine Yu, showing her intimacy.

The fifth princess's birthday was at the end of March, when the Zhu family was in power, and the congratulatory gifts received by the five princesses were much more valuable than those received by the five princes. But now is not as good as that day, someone can see the five princesses on such a day, and the five princesses feel a trace of warmth in their little hearts.

Five-year-old children can already see the warmth and coldness of people.

Twenty-nine days later, the concubines in the palace were all lively in the Yongshou Palace for a long time.

When it was almost time, the butterfly beauty, who had been soft since giving birth, stayed away from the crowd and walked alone to the Changle Palace.

Facing the magnificent temple door, the butterfly beauty knelt down with a puff, hiding her face and weeping.

Once upon a time, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe once told her that the harem was not a place where people like her could stay.

At that time, the butterfly beauty did not believe it, the butterfly beauty has been smart since childhood, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, it only takes a few days to know the essence.

With the name of Miss Chang, she is better than Miss Chang everywhere.

Everything is strong, whether it is appearance or mind, it will always overwhelm others.

When Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager told her that the most favored person in the palace at this time was a palace maid, Diemeiren's strength to not admit defeat came up.

As the daughter of everyone, where can I compare to a palace maid? From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on the Lingxi who was born as a bird training craftsman, so she would provoke the Lingxi so unscrupulously a few days after entering the palace.

But in the end, the bird trainer she looked down on the most was in the position of concubine at this time. And she, the daughter of everyone, lost her daughter who was pregnant for ten months and lost the emperor's favor.

Butterfly Beauty cried, she cried that she was unlucky, she cried why she was so obsessed with her mind that she harmed the four princes of Concubine Ren, so that now Concubine Ren regards her as a thorn in the flesh in her eyes and does not give her a moment to breathe.

Huan'er said to the butterfly beauty who couldn't cry herself, "Beauty, let's go back." If people find out that you have left the table without permission, I am afraid that others will catch you. ”

Butterfly Beauty's eyes were red and swollen, and she choked, "What else do I have to fear now?" Didn't Concubine Ren just let me die? I give her this opportunity, I live like this, life is better than death! ”

A low chuckle came from the darkness.

Concubine Ren walked out of the darkness, and the gold ornaments on her head glowed with dazzling brilliance under the light of the palace lamp in Huan'er's hand.

Butterfly Beauty stood up with Huan'er's support, glared at Concubine Ren and said, "What kind of situation are you forcing me to?!" ”

Concubine Ren's eyes were bright, she looked at Butterfly Beauty's tear-stained face, and said with a smile, "What kind of situation can you go?" That's the situation...... Butterfly, I won't let you die! The most painful thing for man is not death, but life is worse than death! Just like me, I think about my fourth prince every day, do you want your sixth princess? ”

Butterfly Beauty cried bitterly, shaking her head slightly, "Concubine Ren, you are so vicious......hearted"

"I'm so vicious, less than one-ten-thousandth of you." Concubine Ren walked into the butterfly beauty, and the smile on her face became hideous, "Isn't what I do to you now what you did to me?" Why, when your heart hurts and suffers, you say that I am vicious? Why didn't you want to think about the retribution that would happen to you when you did such a cruel thing in the first place? ”

Huan'er helped the butterfly beauty to retreat again and again, and the god knocked the palace lamp to the ground without stopping.

The candle toppled over, and the lampshade depicting the maid burst into flames. In the suddenly brighter firelight, Concubine Ren's smiling face became a clear contrast with the frightened expression of Butterfly Beauty's face full of tears.

In a flash, the light dimmed again, and the surrounding environment became pure black.

Butterfly Beauty's eyes were dazzled by the firelight, and Concubine Ren's hideous face was deeply reflected in her mind, lingering.

Butterfly Beauty screamed 'ah', and squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, trembling.

Huan'er hurriedly squatted down, hugged the trembling shoulders of the butterfly beauty, and shouted anxiously, "Beauty, beauty......"

A cold snort came from Concubine Ren in the darkness, "Such a bold person dares to come out and do evil." It's a pity that my emperor was ruined at the hands of someone like you. Let me be a mother, I don't even have the pleasure of revenge...... Compared to the Zhu family, you are really far behind......"

Butterfly Beauty let go of her ears and suddenly said, "Do you think that the person who ordered me to harm you is the abolished Zhu family?" ”

Without waiting for Concubine Ren to reply, Butterfly Beauty laughed loudly, "Concubine Ren, you hate me to the core." But you don't even know who your real enemy is. Let me tell you, your true enemy is in a high position, I am afraid, the position will rise even higher, you have taken revenge on the wrong person......"

In the dark, Concubine Ren was stunned, and thought about the three concubines in her heart, and said, "Who is it?" If it wasn't the Zhu family who instructed you, who could it be?! Concubine Ying? Is it from the Spirit Research Hall or from the Chaxin Temple? ”

Butterfly Beauty stood up with Huan'er's support and smiled, "Why should I tell you? Concubine Ren, you have been making wedding clothes for others, and compared to me, you are the real sorrow. The man who helped kill his own son climbed to the top little by little......"

"Who the hell is it!" Concubine Ren reached forward and grabbed it, and when the candle went out, the butterfly beauty disappeared into that place.

But she didn't catch anything, and the sound of messy footsteps came, and Butterfly Beauty had already left with the help of Huan'er.

Concubine Ren ran two steps forward and said in the direction where the footsteps came, "Who do you tell me, I will spare you from death!" ”

What answered Concubine Ren was a gust of cold wind blowing from nowhere......
