"The Divine Decree has arrived." Li Yu hurriedly came in, holding a bright yellow holy decree with both hands: "The emperor has a decree to canonize the concubine Hui of Chuxiu Palace as the imperial concubine." ”

Lan Xin smiled coldly when she heard this, gently held Gao Lingxi's hand and said calmly: "It is already a doomed fact that you are guilty, but at least in the emperor's heart, you are not wrong." ”

Gao Lingxi smiled faintly, she couldn't see the flying dragon soaring into the sky, bright and dazzling holy decree. "Queen Mother, maybe this is the emperor's last will to his concubines. Lao Niangniang helped the ministers and concubines to receive the order. ”

Li Yu looked at Concubine Hui Guifei, who was withered, and felt uncomfortable, and spoke much slower: "Queen Mother." Hui Guifei Niangniang, the emperor instructed the servants to tell the two of them that they don't have to kneel to receive the order, just sit and listen. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Lan Xin was expressionless, and just replied politely out of palace rules. After speaking, she bowed her head slightly, signaling that Li Yu could read it.

"Huh." Li Yu straightened his face, cleared his throat, and said in a clear and loud voice: "Order, I serve the order of the Empress Dowager." The noble concubine was born into a prestigious family. George's Harem. Filial piety. Wen Gongsu. Jin was crowned the imperial concubine. In order to show Shude. Concubine Xian, Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu, Wei Guiren. Serve the palace. Be diligent and docile. Concubine Xian, concubine, and concubine are all concubines. Yu Concubine and Jin were named concubines. Wei Guiren and Jin were named concubines. To show grace. Chin this. Special Message. The Ministry will take part in the ceremony. Observe the examples. (quoted from Baidu)"

Lan Xin understood it, and was really a little surprised in his heart. Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun canonized the concubine together, why did Concubine Yu also be promoted to concubine, does the emperor want to completely erase this matter? It seems that all the guilt should slowly fade away with time. No one should mention it, no one can mention it.

"Ling Xi, you heard it, the emperor has already canonized you as the imperial concubine. The first imperial concubine of this dynasty. Lan Xin smiled slowly and gently patted the back of her chapped hand: "This palace knows that your heart is bitter, and it is not a holy decree that can be erased with a name." But if you think about it from another angle, at least the experience of entering the Forbidden City is not in vain. When people in later generations mention you, they will always call you a favorite concubine. In fact, whether it's good or not, you just know for yourself. ”

"Queen Mother, Ling Xi understands." Gao Lingxi slowly moved her body towards the queen, and whispered not because these words were secrets in her heart, but she was really weak, so weak that she couldn't support the beautiful voice of the previous string of pearls. "The concubine has been refusing to swallow her breath, just waiting for the matter to come to light.

Now it's okay, the matter is clear, and the concubine knows that the emperor has tried his best to compensate. Otherwise, the will of the imperial concubine should have been made after the concubine died of illness. can let the concubines hear it with their own ears, and become the imperial concubine for a few more days, it is already ...... It is already the emperor's biggest concession. Niangniang, the concubine knows that the emperor is right, but the concubine really can't help but be sad. Fate is like this, the concubines don't complain, and they don't have the strength to complain. ”

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the emperor asked the servants of the Internal Affairs Office to prepare the dresses and jewelry, and now they are outside." Li Yu asked in a low voice: "I don't know if Niangniang wants to declare that they are honored by Niangniang?" ”

"Xuan." Lan Xin said simply: "Pass the rest of the people to come in together and wait for the imperial concubine to dress up and change clothes." Turning his head softly, he smiled softly at Gao Lingxi: "In the past, you served the palace to dress up and take care of the palace, and now let the palace touch this kindness, and let the palace dress up for you personally?" ”

Gao Lingxi swallowed all the grievances, and just responded with a sweet smile. "It's a pity that the concubine is sick and haggard, and the flowers are missing, so I am afraid that I will disappoint the queen's good intentions."

"How so." Pan Yu walked in slowly, and sincerely admired: "The imperial concubine is peerless, and her demeanor is all right, even if she is haggard in her illness now, it will not damage the root at all." It's always so radiant that people are jealous. ”

"Concubine Xian laughed." Gao Lingxi bit that precious word very hard, and he was jealous and minded: "You finally did it." ”

Pan Yu was speechless for a long time, but from the hands of the minions who came in, he took the auspicious clothes of the imperial concubine. The Naji costume is made of golden yellow with bright yellow, and the dazzling gold shows the unparalleled status of the imperial concubine and the special favor of the emperor. Tears fell one by one, and Panyu didn't even realize that she was crying.

Lan Xin took the auspicious clothes from her hand and dusted off the tears that had not yet been wet and collapsed. Perhaps, this is the best the emperor can give.

Su Wanrong, Qiqige and Wei Yating, who had received the holy decree, also rushed to Chuxiu Palace one after another. Several people were very tacit, and no one said anything more than they shouldn't say. Just accompanied by the queen, carefully and wholeheartedly dressed up for the imperial concubine, changed clothes and accessories, during this period, some people secretly wiped their tears, some people cried silently, and some people forced their faces to laugh, but no one spoke.

It seems that if you don't say it, everyone's heart will be better.

"It's so pretty." Lan Xin gently stuck to Gao Lingxi's sideburns, and said movingly: "Concubine Xian's words are not bad at all, the imperial concubine is really bright and beautiful, and her demeanor is all right." ”

Gao Lingxi's eyes widened and stared in front of him emptyly, the makeup mirror of the fairy crane combing and dancing smiled slightly, and his dark and dull pupils reflected his delicate and lovely appearance. At this moment, Gao Lingxi seemed to be able to see his stunning face in the mirror clearly...... As always.

The obsidian-like eyes are watery and very smart, and the lip flaps coated with lip grease are also moisturizing and sweet, especially the rouge of peach powder on the cheeks, which makes her complexion look much better. Lan Xin stared at the woman in front of her with good eyes, she was sad for her, and she felt sorry for her, now, it's time to be happy for her. If nothing else, it is enough to simply congratulate her on the joy of being promoted.

"Your Majesty." Wei Yating was the first to notice that the emperor had come in, and couldn't help but call out urgently, and respectfully saluted.

Lan Xin and everyone realized at this time that the emperor was really here, and at such a time, maybe he really had something to say to the imperial concubine. "The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Hongli slowly stepped forward, his legs as heavy as lead. "I'm here to see the Imperial Concubine." The tone of speech seems to be no different from before, but the stinging feeling in my heart can deceive others, how can I deceive myself?

"The concubine thinks that the emperor must have a lot of thoughtful things to say to the imperial concubine, so she won't bother." Lan Xin knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't say as much as the emperor's words, maybe at this time, only the emperor could appease this heart that was already full of holes.

The talent retreated, and Hongli couldn't wait to encircle Hui Guifei into his arms. "Ling Xi, it's not good for me, can you forgive me?"

"Your Majesty." Gao Lingxi had some words in his heart, but he didn't say anything to anyone. At this time, there is no one else, she really wants to understand: "The concubine's life is not long, if there are some sincere words, can the emperor speak out, don't hide anything from the concubine." ”

"You ask." Hongli gently turned her around and faced her: "I will definitely not hide it from you." ”

"Actually, from the day you imprisoned your concubine in the cold palace, you have already guessed that the matter of Concubine Zhe has nothing to do with me at all. And you did this just because you 'wronged' your concubine, and you can make a big thing small? ”

There were tears in his eyes, and Hongli endured it without rolling down: "In your heart, I may be a cold and ruthless person." But Ling Xi, on that day, I really didn't know. The reason why I am angry is that I am for the queen, I really owe her a lot, but I am powerless to protect her, and second, your brother's matter really makes me feel cold, and it involves Yonghuang's biological mother, such a heinous calculation, I am heartbroken, and I really don't want you to be involved. ”

Feeling slightly more comfortable, Gao Lingxi slowly stretched his smile: "That's good, it's good that the emperor made an unintentional mistake." Even if the concubine died, she would not feel too uncomfortable in her heart. At least, all these years of infatuation have not been in vain. ”

"In your heart, you have a grudge against me, right?" Hongli heard what she was talking to the queen that day, although she was very angry, but it was also really heartbroken.

"I have resented, hated, but now I don't resent or hate." Gao Lingxi spoke with his spirit. The concubine thought that if she kept hating, it would not be the emperor who hated at all, but the concubine herself. Baba has loved you all your life, is it better to make yourself feel that this is a worthless thing? It's better not to hate, not to complain, the concubine always thinks that you will definitely come......"

"In my hands, there is no real evidence to testify against the Queen Mother. Even if I had, I wouldn't be able to do that. Hongli gently pressed against Gao Lingxi's cheekbone bulging face, only to find that she only had a skin left. Lu Pheasant is a generation of poisonous queens, even if she becomes the queen mother, she will hold the power in her hands very tightly, and her son Emperor Han Hui will only endure it in the end and die by himself. ”

"The emperor is not Emperor Hui of Han, and the queen mother is not the Empress Dowager Lu." Gao Lingxi is not a refutation, just disappointed.

"I am naturally not Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was ridiculed only because he was incompetent and controlled by others, but no one accused him of being unfilial, and he will not be criticized in the annals of history. Ling Xi, in the harem, few people know that the Queen Mother is not my mother-in-law, and even fewer people know that I have Han blood on my body.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a decree, which was hung outside the Shunzhen Gate of the Forbidden City, and Han women were not allowed to enter the palace. Although the Han intermarriage system has been practiced in recent years, my identity must not be flawed in the slightest. You want to use your reputation to keep this secret for me, I know it's not fair to you, but Ling Xi, I have no other way. ”

Gao Lingxi still just smiled lightly: "The concubine can't give birth to an heir for the emperor, and it is already a great blessing to keep this secret for the emperor before she dies." After sighing, she said again: "But if there is an afterlife, the concubine doesn't want to be a side blessing, a concubine, an imperial concubine, and the concubine doesn't want the emperor You are the fourth elder brother, Prince Bao is the Qianlong Emperor, the concubine just wants to live an ordinary life, and the husband and children are enough......

"What I owe you may be repaid only in the next life. If you have the next life, it will be fulfilled for you. Hongli gently kissed Gao Lingxi's smooth forehead.

Two days later, on the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the tenth year of Qianlong, the day of filling the warehouse, the imperial concubine. The next day, he was given the nickname "Huixian". Gao Lingxi hurriedly finished her life in this world.
