The concubines were all watching from the sidelines, the emperor looked at Concubine Shugui's gaze so delicately, but Concubine Shu was full of spirits, as if she had returned to the situation before the queen entered the palace. At that time, the concubine was like this, everyone praised her virtue and envied her blessings, until one day, there was a hostess in the Shangyang Palace.

"You're all scattered, it's cold." Xiang Ye woke up and said a faint word, and he was about to go to Qingming Pavilion.

Concubine Shu didn't stay, and she didn't say anything superfluous, from today until the queen gave birth, she had a lot of time, her hand couldn't reach out to the Qinzhou Palace, and she couldn't change the fact that the queen was going to give birth, but as the queen mother said, she could fight for more opportunities for herself in this half a year.

The emperor doesn't hate her, does he, otherwise Feng'er and Hao'er, where did they come from.

The emperor walked a few steps, stopped again, and said to Concubine Shugui: "You take the time to take care of the study, although the tables, chairs and books used by Hong'er in the past have been removed, it is inevitable that you will be taboo in your heart, if you want to do something, just tell them to do it, after the arrangement, you will send Feng'er to the study in the first month." ”

Concubine Shu was not pleased, and Shi Shiran blessed herself: "The concubine has written it down, thank you to the emperor." ”

Xiang Ye nodded, and left in the end.

Lin Zhaoyi and a few people surrounded him and said gossipingly: "Time is really fast, you were only pregnant with Feng'er when we arrived in the capital, and you are going to go to the study." Another person said, "Niangniang, please ask the master to chant the scriptures, but let me say, the palace is so big, and there are so many empty palaces, why not set aside another place as a study." ”

Concubine Shu listened in a good mood, and said to everyone: "Niang Niang and the Queen Mother are not in the palace, we naturally have to be more idle in the lunar month, wait for me to ask the emperor for grace, let the sisters meet their families in their palaces, one or two always make it, don't be too ostentatious to be happy." ”

This can make everyone happy, and they all flock to the Anle Palace with Shuguifei, anyway, the queen will not think about these things for them, isn't the queen even tired of bringing relatives into the palace? Looking back, in the first three years, the days in the palace were so comfortable, and at the banquet during the New Year's holidays, they still had the courage to throw flattery at the emperor, or wait on the side of the road for the holy car to say a few words, even if they showed up.

But as soon as the queen came, Han Meiren, Wang Jieyu, and even her mother-in-law Zhao, the concubine of the General's Mansion Jinxiu, and the dignified Princess Liangguo, all "died" in her hands, and they were women who had no backers and no grace, what else could they do except hide under the eaves and chew their tongues?

In any case, Concubine Shu is much easier to get along with than the queen, even that Liang Ruojun is a hundred times stronger than the queen.

On a snowy day, the imperial city was inexplicably full of flowers, not only the concubines, but even the palace people seemed to be relieved, but the team of the queen mother and the queen went to Qinzhou non-stop, and they didn't know anything about it.

Niang'er often sit in the same car, when the car stopped that day, the queen mother suddenly remembered the events of the year, hugged Min'er and said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor blocked you and didn't let you get into the carriage, you turned around and came up from the other side, oh make me happy, I have never seen my son so deflated." ”

Yunshang asked curiously what was going on, Min'er also recalled the bits and pieces of the past, talking and laughing all the way to Qinzhou soon, this time the queen mother and the queen did not live in the palace, someone had already stood up to clean up Shen Zhe's other village, even if it was a snowy winter, there were mountains and rivers in the village, like a paradise. What's more, there will no longer be palace people and concubines here, and they will be bored with right and wrong.

The days flickered, it was the month of La, the emperor sent people to send all kinds of things and greetings on the New Year's Festival, and the people who passed the word would more or less mention how the palace was, and said to the queen mother that the concubines were able to feast their families in the palace this year, and the palace was particularly lively, and the queen mother, who had always liked the excitement, couldn't help but be fascinated by this clean day in Qinzhou, if it weren't for Shen Yun and the little princess, the living baby teasing her, she would have been bored for a long time.

But for the royal incense, for the prince in the queen's womb, a year and a half is nothing, the queen mother worships the Buddha every day, prays to the gods and Buddhas and ancestors, and prays to protect the child in the queen's womb, which makes Min'er very moved, she can't even insist on drinking the fetal pills every day, but the queen mother prays for her and the child rain or shine.

Every time she looks at the pious figure of the Queen Mother, Min'er will think about what kind of harem situation she will bring to the Queen Mother in the future, and she doesn't want to see the Queen Mother sad.

After a long time in Qinzhou, the palace people who accompanied the car thought that the queen would not be able to remember the things in the palace, would worry that the emperor would be tempted, and would worry that the concubines would fight for **, and even wait for her to go back after half a year, there may be a few more pregnant people in the palace, but the queen didn't think about these things at all.

Min'er is here to give birth, only thinking about Yuan Yuan and the child in her womb every day, it is enough to express her thoughts about the emperor in the letter, her detachment looks unreal, but Min'er really enjoys the tranquility of Qinzhou Villa.

And in the palace of the capital, since the queen went to Qinzhou to pray for blessings and a safe birth, Xiang Ye has lived in the Qingming Pavilion and no longer stepped into the harem for half a step.

But it is precisely the indifference and tranquility of Concubine Shugui, but the emperor is not happy, every time she or the child comes to the Qingming Pavilion, the emperor will take the time to accompany each other, sit and drink a cup of tea and talk for a while, at least for most of the hour, sometimes Concubine Shu is in the Qingming Pavilion all afternoon, quietly coexisting with the emperor, as if she really returned to the situation of the previous three years.

Both ends were peaceful, and the imaginary show failed to start, so the queen gave birth to a boy and a girl, which became the final finale.

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, Imperial Doctor Chen rushed to Qinzhou, and would stay here to take care of the empress in the future, and the Empress Dowager privately asked Imperial Doctor Chen if he could see men and women, and Imperial Doctor Chen said that he did not have this ability, and as for the empress, Min'er did not care about men and women at all, and never asked.

Before the Lantern Festival, Min'er received a letter from her grandmother, along with the emperor's letter, Xiang Ye mentioned in the letter that he was already naming the soon-to-be-born child, if it was a boy or a girl, Min'er read the letter and silently put it away.

Qingya helped the box that was brought to save the letter, carefully picked the lock, cleaned it up, and didn't see any movement from the queen to reply to the letter, so she couldn't help but smile and asked: "Isn't Niangniang in a hurry to reply to the emperor?" ”

Min'er bowed: "I didn't think about what to say." ”

Qingya didn't ask again, and when she turned around to put the box, Min'er asked her: "Can Zhao Guo have a precedent of canonizing the crown prince at birth?" ”

"The slave remembered that there was one, but then he died." Qingya said so, but immediately realized that she had said something inappropriate, and looked at the queen anxiously, "Niangniang, the slave is telling the truth......

"What are you nervous about, what can't we say?" Min'er smiled and sighed, "What you said is right, not only Zhao Guo, but few people who were born as princes in history have a good end." ”

Qingya pressed her head against her head, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, but she also felt that the queen began to think about this kind of thing, but it seemed much more real, and she wanted to divert the topic for a while, so she said: "Niangniang, it will be Halloween soon, what kind of congratulatory gift do you prepare for the emperor." ”

Min'er said lazily: "You can pick two delicious things in Qinzhou and send them over." ”

Qingya couldn't cry or laugh, but when she heard the queen say something that surprised her, Min'er said with a casual attitude: "If I give birth to a prince, I will ask the emperor to canonize the prince immediately, and if there is anything, I will end it when the children are still young." ”

"Niangniang......" Qingya asked nervously, "You mean, Shugui Niangniang?" ”

Min'er nodded and touched her belly, which wasn't very big yet: "I can't hide in Qinzhou for the rest of my life, can I?" ”

In the capital, the most lively thing in the first month of this year is not the Lantern Festival, but the emperor's longevity, like because the queen is not there, Shuguifei is extraordinarily attentive, and the Lantern Festival has been dealt with, and the emperor doesn't care, she carefully prepared a banquet for longevity, but this day there was news from the south, and a once-in-a-century snowstorm suddenly fell. The emperor convened officials to discuss disaster relief, and it is undeniable that after getting rid of Qiu Zhenyu and his henchmen, many things are much more difficult to do than in previous years, but the emperor will not admit defeat, even the wind and snow are afraid, and how to step on the land he wants?

It's just that Concubine Shugui's enthusiasm was let down, except for the concubines in the Antai Palace, who were embarrassedly scattered in the banquet, the emperor was not there, the princes and ministers were not there, and the dancers and musicians timidly waited in the backstage to perform, but in the end, they waited for Concubine Shugui's reward to let them disperse.

Not long after, the concubines also left the Antai Hall one after another, Concubine Shugui sat in her place, looking at the high but empty emperor's throne, she deliberately arranged a single seat today, squeezing out the queen's usual position, she also wanted to sit next to the emperor, but she couldn't.

"Niangniang, let's go back too, it's getting colder and colder here." Erzhen persuaded on the side.

"Let's go back." Concubine Shu Guifei stood up with Erzhen's hand, but a tall figure appeared in front of the door, and the emperor walked in with a tired body, he was wearing regular clothes, which was extremely incommensurate with the splendid Antai Palace, but he came, he actually came.

Concubine Shu watched the emperor approach her blankly, and Xiang Ye smiled slightly: "It's hard for you to explain all this, I should always take a look, not to mention my birthday." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu was full of tears, hurriedly picked up the already cold wine, and congratulated, "I wish the emperor a long life." ”

Xiang Ye took the wine glass and drank it all, the cold wine drilled into his abdomen, and the spicy taste spread from his throat to his body, but he couldn't tell whether the wine warmed his stomach or his stomach warmed the wine, Xiang Ye said: "I will go with you, the wind outside has stopped and it is not cold." ”

But all the way, it was Concubine Shu who was talking about today's events, the emperor didn't say a word, and when he approached Anle Palace halfway through, the emperor stopped and said, "Rest early, I'll go back." ”

Concubine Shugui's heart trembled, bit her lip, and plucked up her courage to say: "The emperor said that what the concubine wants to say, just tell you, then tonight the concubine hopes that you can stay in the Anle Palace and let the concubine serve you to sleep peacefully." ”

The emperor faintly: "No need, I still have a lot of things." ”

Concubine Shu secretly clenched her fists and asked unwillingly, "What about tomorrow night?" ”

Xiang Ye shook his head: "I don't know yet." ”

"Actually, the emperor, are you afraid that your mother will be unhappy?"

"Yes, I'm afraid she's upset."

The answer was unexpected, but Xiang Ye answered very frankly, and he looked at Concubine Shu calmly: "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”
