On April 29 of the seventh year of Yong'an, Lemeiren, who had been pregnant with the dragon heir for nearly six months, slipped a tire, and it was a boy who fell down.

After investigation, it was found that someone had placed a large amount of safflower in the fetal pills of Lemei. Zhen Wenpo, who gave Lemeiren fetal medicine, was found drowned in the lotus pond when Lemeiren had an accident.

The exhausted Lemei watched the palace maid take away the able-bodied fetus that was not much bigger than a slap in front of her, and cried heartbreakingly. She cried loudly outside the dormitory, "Your Majesty, you want to avenge the concubine's emperor, and he still has time to open his eyes to see the world...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The concubine failed to protect our child, you gave the concubine the death penalty, you let the concubine go with the child...... The concubines don't want to live ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

Emperor Yong'an listened to Le Meiren's heart-wrenching cry, and then looked at the male fetus in front of whom the palace maid had swallowed, and was so angry that he threw everything in the Yizhu Hall as far as his eyes could see.

Emperor Yong'an pointed at Empress Zhu, who was also pale, and shouted, "Check, check carefully!" How can this harem be so filthy, even a little baby can't accommodate it! ”

Empress Zhu was so frightened by Emperor Yong'an's anger that she fell to her knees with a puff, and her voice was no longer as calm as before, "Concubine, concubine will check ...... immediately"

On the first day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an was named from the four pins of music and beauty for the four pins of Jieyu.

Since the incident of Le Meiren, the atmosphere of the harem has really become clear under the strict grasp of Queen Zhu, even if any concubine is a little cautious, she will not dare to commit a crime against the wind at this time.

Lingxi is very satisfied with this state, and this filthy harem can finally be cleaned for a few days. So she was happy to sit in the Lingyan Hall every day and play with the five princes, so fast.

Emperor Yong'an has a straight face every day after the accident of the beautiful people, even if he comes to sit in the hall of Lingxi, he is also sad, and there is no longer the happy atmosphere of a family of three in the past.

Lingxi was also very helpless about this, and the only thing he could do was to talk about the topic of happiness, or just let Emperor Yong'an and the five princes stay for a while.

One day, the fifth prince opened his small mouth with only two lower teeth, spit bubbles and shouted to Emperor Yong'an, who was holding him, "Father." ”

It was not the first time that Emperor Yong'an had heard this kind of child's babbling, but after the fifth prince finished shouting, a soft smile still appeared on his face. The big hand touched the white little face of the fifth prince, and teased in a good mood, "Yi'er, call another one." Call the father ......"

The fifth prince played with his little hands, and his mouth made a sound of hmm-ah, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an took the step shake that was put aside, and said to the five princes, "Yi'er, call your father, and your father will give you the most beautiful step." ”

When the fifth prince saw Bu Sha, he clapped his little hands and laughed, and then stretched out his little hands to reach Bu Sha.

Emperor Yong'an shook his steps behind him, and the five princes immediately threw themselves on Emperor Yong'an's shoulder, imprinting a big mark of saliva on Emperor Yong'an's side face.

Lingxi was amused, and hurriedly took the five princes out of Emperor Yong'an's arms, and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, wipe it quickly." ”

Emperor Yong'an took the wet handkerchief handed over by the lotus leaf and wiped his face, and said with a smile, "Every day, I can get a little respite from you, so that I don't feel so tired." ”

Lingxi handed over the five princes to the nurse standing aside, and asked Lotus Ye and the other palace maids to retreat. After personally taking the teacup and presenting it to Emperor Yong'an, he said, "Your Majesty, if you are tired, let's sleep for a while." ”

Emperor Yong'an took the teacup and put it on the low table, shook Lingxi's hand, and said, "I am tired, since the first year of Yong'an, there have been nearly ten fetuses in this harem. They are all my flesh and blood, how can I not feel pain in my heart? ”

"Isn't the queen already checking?" Lingxi comforted, "When that vicious person is dealt with strictly, there will be peace in this harem." ”

Emperor Yong'an listened to Lingxi's words, and his star-like eyes revealed a trace of pain, "Tranquility? You have been in this harem for more than ten years, when has this harem been peaceful? ”

Lingxi lowered his head, the harem is already a place of right and wrong, how can it be peaceful?

"As for the vicious......" Emperor Yong'an sighed.

Is there anyone in this harem who is not vicious? Which one is not the rise and fall of a discipline, and the machine is exhausted in order to gain a firm foothold?

On May 12 of the seventh year of Yong'an, Empress Zhu sent the Yucai people who lived in the Ningxiang Pavilion of Yide Palace into the cold palace, and gave the Yucai people a glass of poisonous wine that night, ending the life of the Yucai people who were only 22 years old.

The concubines in the harem were all embarrassed when they learned about it, that Yucai and Le Jieyu entered the palace in the first year of Yong'an, and they were as good as sisters on weekdays, who would have thought that it was Yucai who gave Le Jieyu a black hand?

In the Lingyan Palace, Lingxi is drinking tea with Yu Concubine.

Lingxi wore a light blue embroidered lily skirt with a tight body, a loose bun on her head, and only two fresh pale pink hibiscus. With a flick of her wrist, she poured the amber soup from the teapot into the two small white jade pots in front of her.

Concubine Yu sat opposite Lingxi, wearing a water-green embroidered cherry blossom gown, with her head tied in a side bun, and only a dripping hairpin on her right side.

Since the birth of the fifth prince, Concubine Yu has been moving closely with Lingxi, and after a long period of contact, Lingxi feels that Concubine Yu's temperament is really much better than other palace concubines.

is also from a wang family, and Concubine Yu does not have the posture of Cao Guifei and Rou Guiconcubine, who are high above and have no one in their eyes. And her temperament is also very hearty, not as unpleasant as Xin Concubine.

Yu Concubine cocked the orchid finger and took the teacup handed over by Lingxi, and sucked it gently. The bitter taste of Biluochun slowly overflows between the lips and teeth, passes through the tongue, and slowly slides into the inside of the mouth, and a trace of soreness rises on the cheeks. When the tea is swallowed, there is a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Concubine Yu took two sips slowly, raised her eyes and smiled, "The tea you make is fragrant, especially the sourness, which is obviously hot tea, but it is particularly thirst-quenching when you drink it." ”

Lingxi also took a few sips of the teacup, put down the handkerchief and tried his lips, and said with a smile, "I put two drops of lemon juice in this tea." It does not affect the taste of the tea, but it will arouse a trace of sourness and astringency, and the tongue is full of flavor. ”

"Lemon juice?" After hearing this, Concubine Yu smiled and said, "When I go back, I must tell those stupid minions in the palace, and I must make it easier when making tea." ”

The two chatted a few words about the tea ceremony, and then brought the topic to Le Jieyu.

Concubine Yu lay on her back on the bamboo chair, covered her face with a handkerchief, and said, "It's another wisp of unjust soul~"

"Who knows if you are wronged or not?" Lingxi's slender white fingers gently rubbed the white jade teacup, and said softly, "This matter is over." ”

Concubine Yu took off the handkerchief on her face and snorted with her nose, "I also lost my child, but I don't sympathize with Le Jieyu at all." ”

Le Jieyu was extremely domineering after pregnancy, and she didn't put Yu Concubine, the head of the first house, in her eyes at all, Concubine Yu had long looked at her unpleasantly, and now Le Jieyu lost a child, which can be regarded as a relief for Concubine Yu.

"Look, look." Lingxi snatched the handkerchief in Concubine Yu's hand and said, "Isn't that because the emperor hasn't slept in your palace for a year?" Otherwise, what dare Le Jieyu have to be arrogant in front of you? ”

"Come on." Concubine Yu snatched the veil back and said, "You are not declining, but I haven't seen that these masters in your palace are trouble-free?" ”

Concubine Yu sat up straight and glanced out the window.

At noon in May, when it was hot, several pots of camellia were wilted by the delicate sun, and in the distance, a rough little palace maid carried a teapot and walked slowly in the direction of the small kitchen.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Concubine Yu looked at it, pulled Lingxi and said in Lingxi's ear, "You have to pay attention to the beauties in your palace, that's a capable one." ”

Lingxi was stunned when he heard this, and he was a beauty again. A few days ago, Xiao Dezi also said when he came to report that Duomei was very active in the harem before Le Jieyu's accident. In addition to always going to sit with the noble concubines, he also walked around various palaces, and the relationship with the butterfly people was also quite good.

After Diecai sent a letter to Lingxi on the day of Jieyu's birthday, he never appeared in front of Lingxi's eyes again. Even when they encountered it in the Imperial Garden, the Butterfly Talent was far away, as if they were afraid of the Lingxi.

Only Lingxi knew that Butterfly was not afraid of her, and she didn't know what she was calculating in her heart.

It's a pity that Lingxi doesn't have the ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and he can't guess the mind of the butterfly beauty, so there is no other way than to let the people in the hall be careful.

"Did she mess with you?"

"What are you messing with me?" Concubine Yu cut off, "I'm a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and Duo Meiren just invited me to peace, and I don't know how to slander me in my heart." I mean, before Le Jieyu's accident, Duo Meiren was more intimate with her than Yucai. ”

Lingxi said, "I heard that Duo Meiren has been friends with the concubines since the New Year, this is nothing, right?" ”

Concubine Yu suddenly let out a strange laugh, and then crawled into Lingxi's ear and whispered, "The stable woman who drowned in the lotus pond was recommended by the beautiful woman to Le Jieyu, and it was the stable woman who once delivered the fifth princess." ”

Lingxi's heart trembled, "What you said is true?" ”

Concubine Yu nodded, and crawled into Lingxi's ear and said, "The queen mother convicted Yucai only by virtue of the words of the palace maid who was close to Yucairen, and even other palace maids and eunuchs were sent to the riot room and beaten to death without even being tried. And the personal palace maid of Yucai is a fellow villager of the personal palace maid next to Duo Meiren, and I heard that she entered the palace as a slave together......"

Without waiting for Lingxi to speak, Concubine Yu said again, "Who is Duo Meiren?" Isn't this clearly laid out here? Do you still need to be judged? ”

Lingxi slapped Concubine Yu with his hand lightly and heavily, and said angrily, "Where did you get all this?" How come I don't know at all? According to what you say, isn't the person who hurt Le Jieyu ......"

Concubine Yu stretched out her white fingers and pressed them on Lingxi's lips, shook her head and said, "You can know it, don't say it." ”

Lingxi nodded repeatedly.

Concubine Yu helped the dripping water on her head and shook it, and said a little lonely, "I have no intention of competing for favor, if you want to live peacefully in this harem for decades, it is not an easy task." I don't want to hurt others, but I can't easily let others hurt me......" As if knowing what Lingxi wanted to ask, Concubine Yu smiled again, "I fell in love with you, and told you that I didn't even have a ...... to talk to in my old age."
