Passing through the Qianqing Gate, Gao Lingxi saw the solemn Qianqing Palace at a glance, this was the first time she had come here, and the first time she had felt the majesty of the Celestial Empire so closely. The golden glazed tiles pave the roof of the heavy eaves hall, reflecting the winter sun and shining with golden dazzling light. The whole palace is located on the stone pedestal of white marble, with nine corridors and five deep rooms, which is magnificent and magnificent.

And at this moment, her husband should have already gone down to the court, and he was reviewing the recitals submitted from all over the country in the south study of the Qianqing Palace. The majestic Son of Heaven is handsome and focused, holding Zhu Pi and holding the Qiankun alone, what kind of picture should this be? Gao Lingxi lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped up the jade steps, led Bilan alone, and slowly walked forward.

Wang Jinbao was on duty today, waiting in front of the palace, seeing that it was Concubine Hui coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Concubine Wanfu, the slave has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Gao Lingxi smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling: "Princess, please get up." Is the emperor free at this time? If it's convenient, my father-in-law will pass it on to me. ”

Because of the busy political affairs of the previous dynasty, Wang Jin kept fresh and rarely saw palace concubines come to see the emperor. Yes, it is nothing more than the queen sending some soups and pastries every once in a while. At this time, Concubine Hui Guifei led the maid who was close to her, presumably she had something to ask to see. Therefore, he did not dare to delay, Wang Jinbao said respectfully: "Where can the slave be worthy of the mother's sentence 'tired', please ask the mother to rest in the room for a while, and the slave will go to spread the word." ”

"Thank you." Gao Lingxi did not set foot in the Qianqing Palace, but waited in place in a proper manner. After all, this is not a palace, and the rules are like walking on thin ice, she really doesn't dare to rely on her identity as a concubine and be reckless. Your own situation is like broken ice under your feet that will crack at any time, and if you are not careful, you will have to fall into the ice hole.

The catastrophe will never be recovered, that's probably what it means!

In this way, Wang Jinbao also saw that the heart of this noble concubine was not a domineering person. So he didn't say much, and then went to ask the emperor.

Bi Lan squatted down, tidied up the tassels hanging from the jade pendant around Hui Guifei's waist, and as soon as she let go, the cold winter wind blew indiscriminately like a mess. Bi Lan smoothed it out again, and when she let go of her hand, the tassels blew messily for the wind again. Bi Lan was not discouraged, and once again carefully straightened out.

Gao Lingxi looked at her sorting out so many times, and smiled: "You are patient, you are not annoyed two or three times." Anyway, it will be blown by the wind, so why tidy it up, just let it go. ”

"Mother, it is natural for slaves and maids to do these things. It's just that you haven't seen the emperor for a while, and you have begged for it as soon as you come today...... Are you afraid that the emperor will be too careful? "It's inevitable that Bilan has concerns. The days she served in the house were not short, although she had not followed Gao Lingxi for a long time, she could see the emperor's heart in the end.

The more people around him ask for more, the more he will dislike it. On the contrary, it is a palace concubine with a calm temperament, which can make the emperor feel more comfortable. Bilan didn't dare to say these words, for fear that she wouldn't be able to say it accurately, and she was also afraid that the concubine wouldn't listen. Besides, the emperor is no longer Prince Bao, and the grace of the palace concubine can no longer be influenced simply by liking or disliking.

The mystery in this is also bigger.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable." Gao Lingxi lightly helped Bi Lan, and when he lowered his head and attached his ear, he said these four words briefly, and he had clearly guessed Bi Lan's intentions.

"But you don't have to worry too much, this palace dares to come to ask to see the emperor, you must be completely sure. Every day I entered the palace, I walked on thin ice, looking forward and backward, afraid of being outnumbered. If the emperor really didn't have me in his heart, I'm afraid I would have already become the soul of someone else's sword. In other words, as long as the emperor has me in his heart, this matter will be much easier to handle today. ”

Wang Jinbao walked out happily, bowed down and said, "Concubine Niangniang, please come inside, the emperor is waiting for you in the south study." ”

"Father-in-law Lao will lead the way." Gao Lingxi followed behind Wang Jinbao and said to Bi Lan: "You are waiting for the palace outside." ”

Bi Lan didn't follow anymore, and cautiously stayed on the corridor. Looking at the figure of the concubine, a smile appeared on her face, maybe she really thought too much, the concubine's decision must be right.

Pushing open the door of the south study, Gao Lingxi's body shook, and he walked in through the thick Ming Huanglong Tengyun and Mist Brocade Curtain. "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." At the same time, Gao Lingxi's face was flushed with a faint peach, which was a touch of heart-warming charm, reflecting her moon-like white skin. "The concubine came here now, didn't disturb the emperor's handling of political affairs, right?"

"Ling Xi, get up quickly, sit down and talk to me." Hongli's amiable tone is the same as in the past. It doesn't seem to have changed because of the change of identity, it's still the same soft and glutinous.

"Your Majesty." Gao Lingxi smiled gratefully, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked. When he approached the emperor's side, he gently put his hand on Hongli's palm, and he grabbed his slender fingers and clenched them harder and harder. There would even be some slight pain, but it tasted good, and she felt that he had always cared about herself, and she cared about herself fiercely.

Hongli folded the music and waited for Gao Lingxi to sit down before asking, "Why are you here now, it's cold." He didn't even put on a silk garment, and the waiter was not careful. I heard that the queen has instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send additional palace personnel to serve in the six palaces, and those who are on duty in your Chuxiu Palace are not good? ”

"The queen mother is dignified and elegant, and she has a good heart, how can there be any misfortune. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already arranged the palace people to various places in the Sixth Palace early in the morning, and they were all safe. "Gao Lingxi tried his best to say good things for the queen, which is also reasonable." The emperor didn't know that the concubine came at this time, and there were two things to be revealed. I was in a hurry, and I couldn't even take care of adding silk clothes. ”

Gao Lingxi smiled guiltily and blamed herself slightly: "It's not that the people who serve are not careful, but the concubines themselves are too anxious, which makes the emperor worried and Ling Xi uneasy." ”

Without speaking, Hongli gently patted the back of Gao Lingxi's hand, as if to reprimand.

"Your Majesty." Gao Lingxi raised his eyebrows in confusion, and his obsidian-like eyes faintly flowed with brilliance: "Concubine ......"

"When did I get separated from you like this, and I actually said something that was detrimental." Honglifu grabbed Gao Lingxi's hand again, and said with pity: "You came in the cold wind, I feel panicked. What's the matter, just say it. In the past, when you were in the palace, you and I didn't have so much politeness, and you seemed estranged in vain. ”

Gao Lingxi's face flushed, the sweetness in his heart overflowed, his words couldn't help but be a little more lingering, and he said coquettishly: "What the fourth master said is very true, Ling Xi should never be like this. ”

Instead of annoying her, Hongli rejoiced: "That's right." Leaning forward, Hongli stuck to her soft earlobe: "When there is no one in the future, you call me like this." In this way, it seems that we are like glue and intimate. ”

"Yes." Gao Lingxi smiled obediently, and the appearance of pursing her lips was particularly cute. "The concubines and the emperor have always been close to each other."

After the lingering and sympathetic words were finished, Gao Lingxi made a serious face: "The concubine guesses, the emperor, you came to the south study to review the folds as soon as you came to the court, and you haven't summoned others yet, right?" ”

Hongli bowed his head, frowned and asked, "What's the matter in the harem?" ”

"One is happy, the other is worried. I don't know which one the emperor wants to hear first? Gao Lingxi's smart eyes touched Hongli, although his face was much more serious, he still couldn't hide his tenderness and sweetness. tugging back and forth at the heartstrings of the young emperor.

"Why worry?" Hongli asked while holding Gao Lingxi's hand.

"Early this morning, the queen mother was going to lead a group of palace concubines to greet the queen mother in Cining Palace. Who knew that he hadn't gone yet, but Gao Xiang came to Ming Niangniang, saying that the queen mother was sick and avoided the court. Speaking of this, Gao Lingxi sighed worriedly: "The Queen Mother is sick and needs to recuperate, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to bother, but her heart is always unsteady." ”

Hongli calmly bowed his head and bowed slightly: "You have a heart, I will go and see later." An understatement brought over this worry. Hongli still couldn't convince himself to be close to the Queen Mother. "So, why are you happy?"

When Gao Lingxi heard this, he solemnly withdrew his hand, got up with a smile, and bowed to Hongli: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the noble Suo Yuluo of Zhongcui Palace is pregnant." ”

"Really?" Hongli smiled, overjoyed: "Not long after I arrived, there was such good news in the harem, which is really a blessing. ”

Hearing this, Gao Lingxi lowered his head in annoyance, and pleaded guilty: "Luck is inevitable." It's a pity that the Baolan girl next to the concubine was not angry, and the statue of Guanyin, who was invited into the palace by the concubine's mother's house, was broken. The concubines knew that the emperor didn't believe in these strange powers, but after all, the noble woman was pregnant, so she inevitably minded.

Although the queen mother is lenient, she has not punished her concubines. But the concubine was really uneasy. This happy event, Zhenzhen'er let the concubines stir it up, so she came to ask the emperor for guilt. ”

Seeing Gao Lingxi's apricot eyes watery, almost sad to tears, Hongli couldn't bear it, and hurriedly helped her up: "It's still a big deal, just a statue of Guanyin, I will give another noble statue to compensate for the unhappiness in her heart, isn't it good." What's more, with my comfort, she must be in a much happier mood, and you really don't have to be sad. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Lingxi smiled gratefully, tears rolling down her cheeks warmly: "With the emperor's words, the concubines will be at ease." blame yourself for being too useless, and you can't do some small things. ”

"For this reason, you won't even put on a silk coat." Hongli pityingly pulled Gao Lingxi closer to his side and stopped her slender waist: "I care more about you than about the noble person, do you know that you feel sorry for her, and I will inevitably feel sorry for you." Fortunately, Lan Xin knew my mind best and didn't blame you, so I was relieved. ”

Gao Lingxi felt the emperor's tight embrace, and smiled with satisfaction: "Your Majesty, the concubines have prepared the sachets, and I hope you will come early." After that, she playfully broke away from the emperor's mantis arm and ran far away: "The concubine doesn't dare to continue to disturb the emperor's reading of the excerpts, and the concubine retires." ”

Hongli looked at her cheerful figure and smiled heartily.
