Hearing someone tell them that this was a smoke bath to ward off illness and detoxification, the women were no longer flustered, and sure enough, after smoking this medicinal bath, they all felt much refreshed.

"It is rumored that the queen mother is very vicious, but it seems that the medicinal bath for us is not as rumored." A woman said softly.

"Yes, Sister Xu Fei, although the queen mother smoked a medicinal bath for us, but just now she let those who are not good at cooking eat the dishes they made, this queen mother's temperament is really elusive." A woman in a light blue shirt with petals embroidered on her collar and cuffs said softly.

"Ruolan, then they can only blame their own cooking skills, don't the emperor and the queen let them buy the dishes we make to taste each other?" Xu Fei chuckled.

"Sister Fei is right, but I don't know what the queen will take behind this." Ruolan said lightly.

"No matter what she takes the exam, with your family background and my sister's beautiful appearance, she will not be defeated." Xu Fei said with a smile.

"Sister is really joking, sister's beauty, who doesn't know in this cloud city, even if the emperor loves the queen, he will empathize because of his sister." Ruolan said with a smile.

"Then borrow my sister's auspicious words." Xu Fei said with a smile.

With Ding Ruolan's compliment, Xu Fei also felt that she would definitely get the emperor's favor, according to the emperor's age, she was just bloody, and the queen was pregnant, so she would definitely not be able to sleep, so among the dozen or so people, she and Ruolan were the more outstanding.

But she is also different from Ruolan, her father's official position is higher than that of Ding Ruolan's father, not to mention, Ding Ruolan is just born to the stepfamily, even if she is a descendant, she is half a cut shorter than the one born to the original match.

After the final selection, nine people were finally selected, and they were named the four concubines of Guishu Dexian and five people, including Shuyi, Beauty, and Baolin.

According to the rules, the newcomer has to sleep in the palace, and he usually starts with a few high-ranking ones. These nine women, one by one, have already been washed and are waiting for the emperor to come in the room.

Nangong Yihan felt a very headache, if no one went there tonight, in two days those ministers would write a book, asking him to go to the concubine who had just entered the palace, and he never knew that the matter between the husband and wife was still forced.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the new master tonight?" Father-in-law Zhang said respectfully.

"Zhang Qing, you know, I only have the queen in my heart, and I don't want to have children with other women besides the queen, so you should give me an idea." Nangong Yihan said softly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to the new master to sit down, and then say that there is still a fold to be reviewed, why don't we just leave?" Zhang Qing said with a smile.

"Well, okay, let's do it."

Just when Nangong Yihan chose to prepare to go to the palace of the concubine, he met Han Jiang with a medicine box on his back by the carp pond in the imperial garden.

"Hanjiang, it's so late, you're still in the palace." Nangong Yihan said lightly.

"Back to the emperor, the minister was ordered to take care of the queen's body, and the mother said that the fetal medicine was bitter, so the minister refined the small pill and wrapped a layer of honey on the outer layer of the pill, so that the mother would not feel bitter when taking the medicine."

"Well, you are doing your best for the queen, if it is too late, I will arrange a place for you to live in the palace, and you will have to run away." Nangong Yihan said with a smile.

"This can't be done, if it was before, only the queen mother in this harem was okay, but now the emperor has just selected nine newcomers to enter the palace to wait, and it is really inconvenient for the minister to stay in the harem, so as not to be misunderstood." Han Jiang said lightly.

Seeing that Han Jiang had lost his enthusiasm for himself, Nangong Yihan understood that this Han Jiang was blaming himself for recruiting new people during his sister's pregnancy.

But this is not what he thinks, not to mention that he has not yet done anything with those women, he has already spoken coldly to himself, if he has another child, he will kill himself in this cold river.

was thinking about it, and unconsciously the emperor had come to the door of Cuining Palace, "Your Majesty, this is Concubine Shu's bedroom, look, there is still a light in this room, and the slave will let Concubine Shu come out to pick it up." ”

Zhang Qing saw Nangong Yihan bowing slightly, so he threw the Buddha dust in his hand into the crook of his left arm, "The emperor has arrived in ......"

The people in the house were really surprised and delighted when they heard the emperor get four words, the concubine was busy looking at her makeup and whether her clothes were neat, and the nurse on the side looked happily left and right, but she didn't expect that her young lady was the first to go to bed.

"The concubines greet the emperor." Concubine Shu took a group of people in the palace to kneel on the ground and said respectfully.

Nangong Yihan glanced at it, and then walked into the house, "Get up, Concubine Shu will stay and serve, and you all will retreat." ”

That is to say, the emperor wants Concubine Shu and Concubine Shu to rest now, and Concubine Gao's nurse raised a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and retreated with all the little palace maids.

Concubine Shu looked at Nangong Yihan sitting on the chair, although she had heard that the emperor was one of the three beautiful men in Beichen Kingdom, but she had never seen it carefully from such a close distance. Now it seems that such a handsome man is so good-looking even if he doesn't smile, thinking that they can be together so close in the future, Concubine Shu feels very happy.

However, Nangong Yihan has been sitting in the house for a stick of incense, and she has no intention of resting, but she has already fought with her eyelids.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, let the concubines wait for you to rest." Concubine Shu said softly.

"I'm not sleepy, Lady Lady, do you have any books here? I want to read a book before I go to sleep. Nangong Yihan said lightly.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu is really a black line in her head, how can there be a newlywed Yan'er who is not worthy of the bride, but what kind of broken books do you want to read? Could it be that the emperor is a little embarrassed? It shouldn't be, such a thing should be easy for the emperor, he has married so many princesses and side concubines, if he is shy in this matter, it is impossible.

"Your Majesty, today is the first time that the concubines have gone to bed, is there anything that the concubines have done badly?" Concubine Shu said softly.

"Oh, no, it's not your problem, it's that I have this habit of reading a book before going to bed." Nangong Yihan said a little cramped.

This damn Zhang Qing, didn't he say that he would find an excuse for himself to leave? It's been so long, and I haven't come to solve the siege.

was scolding, and I heard Zhang Qing's voice outside the door, "Your Majesty, are you resting?" ”

"Grandpa Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"Back to the emperor, King Dingnan has entered the palace, saying that he has an urgent military situation to discuss with you, and he is already waiting in the imperial study."

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan was overjoyed, this Zhang Qing was really clever, and he even used King Dingnan as an excuse, the military situation here is naturally much more important than the love of children.

"Concubine Shu, you should rest early, I will go to discuss military affairs with King Dingnan, and I will come to see you another day." After finishing speaking, Nangong Yihan left Cuining Palace without looking back.

Concubine Shu looked at the back of Nangong Yihan leaving, and secretly said in her heart, what kind of urgent military affairs, I just don't want to stay here at all, otherwise I don't have to touch her for so long, if this matter spreads, she will definitely become the laughing stock of others.

Nangong Yihan, who had left Cuining Palace, felt extremely relaxed, "Zhang Qing, you really have a trick, and you actually used King Nan as an excuse." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not Zhang Qing's excuse, it's that King Dingnan has really entered the palace." Zhang Qing said hurriedly.

"Really entered the palace?" Nangong Yihan wondered.

A few days ago, Shangguan Tianyu just went to inspect military affairs, and he came back so soon, could it be that something bad happened? Thinking of this, Nangong Yihan's face also became solemn.

When I came to the imperial study, I saw Shangguan Tianyu drinking tea, and as soon as I saw him, "The minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

"Hurry up, is there anything important about you entering the palace late at night?" Nangong Yihan frowned.

But Shangguan Tianyu didn't speak immediately, but instead glanced around the eunuchs outside the door, and Zhang Qing took all the little eunuchs down. In the imperial study, only Nangong Yihan and Shangguan Tianyu were left.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that you accepted a concubine, and you also accepted nine concubines at one time?" King Dingnan said angrily.

"yes, that's what Lixue meant." Nangong Yihan said lightly. He thought that something had happened in the army, but it turned out that someone was upset about Chu Lixue.

"Is that what you mean? Niangniang is pregnant now, you have to accompany her more, with these new concubines in the palace, what if someone endangers the queen mother and the child in her womb? ”

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Hanjiang to take care of her, and it'll be fine."

"I hope so." Shangguan Tianyu said unhappily.

It seems that this person will change, when he was still the prince, he kept saying that he wanted to be a couple with Lixue for the rest of his life, but not long after this queen became pregnant, she began to take concubines for herself, and she also accepted nine people at a time, even if it was to consolidate the imperial power and make those ministers work harder, they would not do it.

"You, since you have entered the palace, you will accompany me to have a good drink of two cups, you have really done me a great favor when you enter the palace." Nangong Yihan said with a smile.

Immediately, he instructed Zhang Qing to let the imperial study prepare some wine and food and send it to the imperial study. Shangguan Tianyu was puzzled when he heard Nangong Yihan say that he had done him a great favor. When he entered the palace late at night, he didn't blame himself for disturbing his beautiful affairs, how could he still say that he was helping?

Nangong Yihan looked at Shangguan Tianyu's face full of question marks, and said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't want to go to any of their palaces, I went to Cuining Palace just now, just to pretend." Even Lixue believes that I won't do anything to be sorry for her, don't you believe it? Nangong Yihan smiled and poured a glass of wine for Shangguan Tianyu.

"Believing is believing, but you can't always act like this, those ministers will always know that you are just perfunctory to them. However, you will definitely have a way to deal with them, and when I entered the palace late at night, I actually had an important matter to discuss with you. ”
