In addition to being in the imperial capital, the princes who were called from all over the country arrived in the imperial capital one after another, and were arranged in the royal palace with beautiful mountains and rivers outside the city.

A few days before the princess's birthday, Xia Huaijin had presided over various matters in the palace, but she didn't see Gu Nu appearing for a long time, thinking that she might not want to see her, Xia Huaijin didn't ask.

However, Concubine Chen often came to help Xia Huaijin, and used the excuse of contributing to her daughter to get along with Xia Huaijin alone.

"Huai Jin!" Concubine Chen was dressed up more flamboyant than in the past, and her voice rushed to the sky and called Xia Huaijin, "I'm here to help!"

Xia Huaijin instructed the palace people of Princess Jing'an Palace to prepare the palace venue, and she really didn't need the help of Concubine Chen, it was the end of summer, and she forced her to help him fan behind Xia Huaijin.

"Thank you Concubine Niangniang, this king is not hot. Xia Huaijin politely refused.

Concubine Chen didn't follow, and she didn't hang around Xia Huaijin.

"Ying'er's matter is really troublesome, Huaijin, your uncle Wang. Concubine Chen sighed, and looked miserable, "The first emperor left early, leaving us orphans and widows!"

Concubine Chen tried to lean towards Xia Huaijin, but he stopped a palace maid, took the jade she was carrying, and instructed: "The concubine is unwell, you help the concubine to rest." ”

Xia Huaijin moved jade into the house, he really couldn't afford the love of Concubine Chen. And Concubine Chen, who was resisted, stomped her feet and left without the help of the palace maid.

"Go away, go away!"

After the palace maid left, Concubine Chen looked at Xia Huaijin's figure and couldn't help but sigh: "I think that Concubine Ben was also a flower in the imperial capital back then, and she was the same age as Prince Jin, and she was talented and beautiful, why didn't she become a couple with him?

Concubine Chen was lost and went to find her daughter, Princess Xuan.

"But it's good that Concubine Ben has a princess daughter, and she Qin Ke hasn't had a son and a half daughter for so many years, so it's relieved to think about it. ”

Princess Zhen was in the hall, sighing at the mirror.

"What kind of sigh is this, it will be your birthday in two days, you just wait for the world's talented people to serve you!"

"Mother!" Princess Ying turned around, looking delicate and cute, anyway, it was different from the current Concubine Chen, "Mother, why are you wearing such a gorgeous rouge today, and the color of this dress......"

"You don't care what your mother wears and what I wear!" Concubine Chen pulled Princess Zhen, "You can choose the clothes you wear on your birthday, and your mother will help you with your staff, and you must be beautiful in the world." ”

"Mother, are you going to sell your daughter?"

"Why do you talk like that, isn't the mother concubine for your good?

Concubine Chen had to let Princess Ying change her clothes to admire her, and couldn't help but admire: "She is worthy of being the daughter of Concubine Ben, she is as beautiful as I was back then, and she will definitely be able to fascinate the prospective concubine!"

"Mother, don't make fun of Ying'er, my daughter is in turmoil now. ”

"What's in your mind, nervous?"

"Suddenly I had to choose a colt, and of course my daughter was nervous. ”

"Don't be afraid, the concubine is in charge for you, and I will definitely choose you a colt with the most superior family background, the most abundant family wealth, and the most outstanding appearance!"

"The mother doesn't care if her daughter likes it or not?"

"When the time comes, they will give you gifts, and you won't be able to look at them if they look crooked. "Concubine Chen doesn't understand Ying'er.

"Doesn't the concubine really understand, and what was the concubine's feelings for her father back then?" asked Xuan'er.

"Your father was the supreme emperor in the world at that time, and he was admired by all women in the world, and his mother naturally admired him. Concubine Chen said as she should.

"I see, it seems that the mother does not love her father because she knows what love is, if the queen mother is here, the daughter can ask her. "Ying'er was very disappointed.

"She?" Concubine Chen sneered, "She doesn't necessarily have as much affection for your father as I do for my mother!"

Concubine Chen led someone to bring tea and snacks to Xia Huaijin, so she had to sit down and rest for a while.

"Huai Jin, come, eat a snack. ”

Concubine Chen handed over the snack herself, but Xia Huaijin had the foresight to pick up a piece of snack and stuff it into her mouth, and Concubine Chen could only taste the embarrassment by herself.

"Huai Jin, where did you say the Queen Mother went?" asked Concubine Chen.

"The emperor said that the queen mother went to Jiangnan to enjoy the lotus. Xia Huaijin remained silent.

"But this summer is over, it's time for her to come back, right?" Concubine Chen stared at Xia Huaijin as if she had ulterior motives.

"How can this king guess the queen mother's intentions. Xia Huaijin replied.

"If Lian Huaijin doesn't understand the Queen Mother's mind, who else in this world can understand her better?"

Xia Huaijin's teacup to his mouth suddenly flickered, and the meaning of Concubine Chen's words couldn't help but make him think carefully.

"The first emperor has been gone for ten years, especially when he was alive, he called his sister the most good, the most noble, the most precious, the most delicious, and I couldn't wait to give her all the best. Concubine Chen suddenly felt a little precipitated sorrow, "But the Queen Mother, she is just indifferent!"

"The imperial brother has passed away, and the concubine is not sad. Xia Huaijin avoided the important and persuaded lightly.

"The first emperor once told me that my sister is the sunset line that he longs for but can never follow in this life, and the iceberg that he hugs but can't melt. She is a perfect queen or even a queen mother, but she is not a qualified wife, ignoring the favor and admiration of the first emperor, she has never had her husband in her eyes!" Concubine Chen became excited, and the emotions hidden in her heart were finally vented.

"Concubine Niangniang, you drink tea, not wine. Xia Huaijin reminded.

"I've lost my honor, it's just that I've endured the cold and loneliness in this deep palace, can the Queen Mother go out of the palace to enjoy the flowers, but I don't even have the qualifications to vent and say a few words?"

"Even if your heart is sorrowful, you must discern what you can say and what you can't say. ”

"Huai Jin, you are like this, even if you are sad in your heart, you can only be separated from your sister by the unattainable palace wall, the bottomless palace, you can't forget each other in love with each other, let alone keep each other?"

"This king still has something to do, please go back, concubine. Xia Huaijin had no way to argue.

"If it were me, I would go back to the love I once loved, but it's a pity that she is the queen mother who is high, so you are so far away from her. ”

Concubine Chen got up and left, she had a deep grudge against the Queen Mother, but she had to deny that she was envious and jealous of the Queen Mother, and now she couldn't bear her emotions and vented to Xia Huaijin who was thousands of miles away.

"An Ronghua, you are the most blessed woman in the world, the first emperor was favored during his lifetime, and there is an old lover to protect you after the first emperor is gone. But you are the most miserable woman in the world, widowed young, and you can't stay with your loved ones in this life. Concubine Chen sneered, "What qualifications do I have to say you, am I not worse than you?"

In the royal courtyard, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard, An Ronghua yawned in men's clothes and got out of the curtain, and even the fake beard flew halfway.

"Who scolded me?"

"Who dares to scold you?" Xiao Chengzi poked her head out and was dressed in a bewitching woman's dress with heavy makeup.

An Ronghua deliberately got out of the car, but Xiao Chengzi refused to get down.

"Cheng'er, what are you still rubbing in the car?" An Ronghua asked with a forced smile.

"What a shame!"

"What are you afraid of, don't you just wear a girl's clothes, you are not anyway...... Ahem. An Ronghua responded with a smile.

"Eunuchs don't want to be ashamed, not to mention that I'm still a eunuch among eunuchs!" Xiao Chengzi became stubborn.

"You get out of here!" An Ronghua ordered.

Xiao Chengzi got out of the car immediately, and her bright red was very eye-catching.

"If it weren't for the emperor to watch you, my father-in-law wouldn't have wronged himself so much!"

"You'd better obediently listen to my instructions, otherwise I'll let Bingwen belittle you to go to the toilet!"

An Ronghua swaggered in, and Xiao Chengzi squirmed to follow.

Before I arrived at the arranged accommodation, I saw a few talented people sitting and talking in the garden.

The man wearing a blue auspicious cloud brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and looking like a handsome boy is Dongfang Yun, the son of the lord of the East China Sea. The other is a strong, general-looking, vulgar-looking, and drinking water like a cow, Yan Lei, the son of General Yan.

"You say this princess is a beautiful woman who knows how to be beautiful?"

"As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, even if she is a beautiful woman who sinks into a fish and a goose, if she is unchaste, unfaithful and unfilial, it is also a shame. Dongfang Yun waved his fan.

"It doesn't matter if her princess is beautiful or not, I'm married to Yan Lei!ahahaha......" Yan Lei smiled very boldly.

"Indeed, no matter what the princess is, if anyone between us and us can marry the princess, it will be a family honor, and it will be of great benefit to the future of the family. ”

"With such thoughts, how can the Queen Mother agree to marry Princess Ying?" Dongfang Yun sighed.

"You don't have a chance, it's better to quit as soon as possible, Princess Ying, I'm married!" Yan Lei was confident.

"Who is there to make a big fuss? If you want to marry a princess, you don't have to weigh how many catties and taels you have, you dare to say crazy words!" An Ronghua walked over domineeringly, and Xiao Chengzi only dared to follow.

"Who are you? How dare you say that I speak wildly!" Yan Leisha's big fist was hard.

"Brother Yan, peace is precious. Dongfang Yun persuaded.

"Below, no, this son is Zhen Jia, the prince of Zhennan County!"

"Zhennan County, why have I never heard of this county? Dongfang Yun asked.

"It must be a very small county. ”

"Ignorant people, the world is big, only I Zhennan is the richest, naturally, marrying the princess is also inevitable. ”

"How dare you say it!" Xiao Chengzi muttered silently.

"What's behind you?" asked Yan Lei.

"Something!" said Sumiko.

"He?" An Ronghua put Xiao Chengzi on his hand and introduced without hesitation, "The new favorite concubine of this world, Cheng'er!"

"Little concubine, this brother is really ingenious, do you know why you are called here this time?"

"Congratulations on the princess's birthday, by the way, marry the princess and return to my Zhennan!" An Ronghua opened his mouth and came.

"Since you know, you dare to take your concubine with you?" Dongfang Yun couldn't believe it.

"No conflict, man, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, there are still more than a dozen in my family!" An Ronghua said nonsense casually.

"Brother Zhen is a man!" Dongfang Yun admired and invited An Ronghua to take a seat, but asked, "But Brother Zhen and Brother Yan both swore that they would marry the princess, but there is only one princess, and only one of you can hold the beauty, right?"
