"Did you get anything?" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Qin standing under the stage majestically.

"Brought." Concubine Qin respectfully handed over a box, and Mama Zhang, who was beside the Queen Mother, hurriedly went to catch it and gave it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took the thing and opened it to see, in the box, a red smudge in the middle of a white handkerchief was so clear, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, it seems that her emperor was really fortunate to have this Qin concubine last night. "Mama Zhang, give this thing to the memory room to ascend the throne."

"Yes! Dowager. Mama Zhang respectfully put the box away.

"Concubine Qin, you have done a good job, and the mourning family is rewarded." As she spoke, the Queen Mother took off the jasper bracelet she was wearing and asked Mama Zhang to hand it to Concubine Qin. She already had the pair of purple jade bracelets, and she didn't need them anymore.

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager reward!" Seeing the queen mother's reward, Qin Concubine felt a little sour in her heart, the handkerchief was clearly the chicken blood handed over to her by the emperor, and she did not get the emperor's favor. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was the emperor who was fortunate to be with her last night, and there were all kinds of voices for a while, envious, jealous, and congratulatory. Even the Queen Mother has to hide it!

"Concubine Qin will continue to work hard in the future! The mourning family is looking forward to you being able to give birth to a grandson for the mourning family as soon as possible! "She is old, and she also wants to be able to hug the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, so that she can feel at ease.

"The concubines remember the teachings of the Queen Mother." Concubine Qin cautiously agreed, but smiled bitterly in her heart, she also wanted to be able to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, but ......

"Go down, the mourning family is going to rest."

"The concubine retires!"

——————————

Xiao Yu quietly listened to Xiao Lang talk about what had happened in the past few days, and he was shocked when he listened, when he was the emperor, the queen mother had not forced him to be the queen or anything, so that he only had a dozen concubines so far. But how long has the imperial brother been on the throne, and those courtiers and queen mothers have forced the imperial brother to take concubines again and again.

Especially after taking a concubine, you have to do it to them often, so what a painful thing it should be for the imperial brother?

"Ahem...... Cough...... Seventh brother, did you really pamper those women? The brother and sister she ...... Ahem...... Did she react? "What kind of woman is Xiao Ling, he Xiao Yu also knows very well, if the seventh brother is favored by those women, Xiao Ling will definitely become depressed even if she will not leave the seventh brother. He is really worried about Xiao Ling, what a beautiful woman Xiao Ling is, she deserves the care of a good man for a lifetime, and she is wholeheartedly cared for!

"Of course not, how could your seventh brother be like that? It's just that he has to pretend every night to deceive the eyes of outsiders, but unfortunately, the seventh brother doesn't have much time to accompany his queen. "I wonder when she can't sleep at night, thinking that he is lying on another woman's bed will be a miracle? Just thinking about it makes him feel helpless and heartbroken.

"I finally understand why the seventh brother has always been reluctant to be the emperor, that position can control tens of millions of people, but it can't control his own fate." Xiao Yu said with emotion.

"Yes, sometimes the seventh brother really wants to let go of the fifth brother and give this throne to the fifth brother." He thought about all these things, so he sent someone to pick up the fifth brother.

"This seventh brother can think clearly, if the throne is ............ Cough...... Cough............ Let the fifth brother do it, can the seventh brother ensure the safety of himself and his younger siblings. ”

"It's because of this seventh brother that I haven't picked up the fifth brother. That's it, for the sake of the queen mother's happiness, the seventh brother and Ling'er had to endure all this. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's compulsion, he could ignore all the other admonitions, no one could control him, only family affection, the thing he cared about the most, could tie him down.

"Brother Huang, Your Majesty, the concubine made a little bird's nest porridge, you all eat some." Shi Ling'er walked in with a plate, she knew that Ah Lang had come to see Brother Yu, and she hadn't seen Brother Yu for a long time, there were too many things at these times, and she didn't bother to come up to see Brother Yu, today when Ah Lang came here, she also went to the kitchen to make a little bird's nest porridge, and brought it over, which can be regarded as doing a little bit of her own for Brother Yu.

"Ling'er, just let the maids do these things, don't be tired Ling'er." Xiao Lang saw Shi Ling'er coming in with a plate, so he hurriedly took it, put it on the table, and pulled Shi Ling'er into his arms.

"Concubines are not tired." Shi Ling'er snuggled up to Xiao Lang and said coquettishly. "The emperor and the royal brother should eat it while it's hot."

"Someone!" Xiao Lang ordered, and immediately a slave and maid walked in, served them porridge, and handed it to each of them.

After eating porridge, Xiao Lang and Shi Ling'er chatted with Xiao Yu for a while, told him to pay more attention to his body, and then left. They discussed going to the Imperial Garden, chatting about Xiao Yu's current situation as they walked.

"I heard that the emperor spent the night in Xinlian Palace last night, and that Qin concubine is very favored by the emperor! Let me tell you, now many talented concubines who want to get close to the emperor are trying to stammer with Qin Concubine, hoping that Qin Concubine will speak well for them in front of the emperor. Walking to a corner in the middle of a lake, Xiao Lang and Shi Ling'er heard a whispered discussion, Shi Ling'er and Xiao Lang glanced at each other, Xiao Lang told Shi Ling'er with his eyes that he was innocent and the rumors were not credible.

In order to stop the discussion from continuing, Xiao Lang deliberately coughed lightly, and when he heard his voice, the discussion just now stopped immediately.

Seeing the emperor and the queen walking out of the corner, the two little girls who were just discussing turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Damn it! Ask the emperor and the queen for forgiveness. ”

"Palm!" Xiao Lang said angrily, "Do you know what is the most taboo in this palace? A little girl, who dares to talk about me here, if there is a next time, she will be beaten to death with a stick. ”

"Thank you, Emperor! The slave and the maid did not dare, and the slave and the maid did not dare anymore. The two girls said as they reached out and slapped themselves in the mouth.

"Get out!" He and Ling'er finally came here together, but they encountered such a thing, it was really disappointing, he really wanted to cut off those two mouthy girls, but Ling'er didn't like blood, so he just let those two girls hit him in the mouth.

When the two girls heard the emperor's words, they hurriedly left here.

"Alang, don't be angry, Ling'er knows that what they said is not true, right?" It was a helpless plan that she and Xiao Lang had discussed early on.

Xiao Lang nodded hurriedly.

"If it's not true, why let their boring remarks disturb our interest?" Shi Ling'er looked at Xiao Lang and said.

"Ah Lang, you still go to Concubine Yuan's Lixiang Palace tonight as planned. I must come back tomorrow night to accompany Ling'er, Ling'er is waiting for Alang. "Accustomed to the days when he was around, she couldn't sleep almost all night when she let him out, but she had to endure it for the sake of Ah Lang for the time being.

"Ah Lang will definitely accompany Ling'er tomorrow night! If he could, Ah Lang wanted to accompany Ling'er every day. Xiao Lang looked at Shi Ling'er's eyes and said affectionately.
