In March, the spring is just right, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, and the beauty is stunning, but the people watching are not in the mood to appreciate it.

"Alas—" Ran Panqing sighed.

"Sister Shufei, this is your fifty-seventh sigh." Mo Qingyan couldn't help but say.

"I don't want to sigh either." Ran Panqing said, "But I just can't help it!" Sister Duan, this palace is not like you, there is a son as a guarantee. I don't have a son, I don't have a daughter, and I'm not too young, how can I compete with the show girl who is going to enter the palace this year? ”

Mo Qingyan comforted: "Why does Sister Shufei have to fight with the show girl who has just entered the palace? In the emperor's heart, you are his favorite. Are any of those show girls better looking than their sisters? Even if she can match her sister's appearance, what about Wencai? My sister was the first talented woman in the capital back then, who can compare? Even if there is a good one, these show girls are all young and immature, where can they compare to the elegance of their sister? Sister, don't worry. It's rare to have such a good scenery, but don't let it down. ”

Ran Panqing was amused by her: "You are becoming more and more able to speak now, in the past, when this palace said ten words, you would not reply a word." ”

Mo Qingyan said: "I'm still clumsy, what I just said is just the truth." ”

Ran Panqing smiled even more happily when she heard this.

Mo Qingyan smiled with Ran Panqing, but she didn't smile in her heart. Over the years, she seems to have a good relationship with Ran Panqing on the surface, but in fact, the two of them are just doing it for others, making others think that they have a deep sisterhood, and if they want to do something to one of them, they have to consider the other person. In fact, both of them knew that as early as after Mo Qingyan successfully gave birth to the prince, they were no longer the same as before, and they were both wary of each other.

A little eunuch came to the imperial garden to find them, saying that the queen had been invited, and the two hurried to Fengyi Palace. When they arrived, they found that all the high-ranking concubines had been invited by the queen to Fengyi Palace.

The queen's face was ugly, even if she was reluctant, Mo Qingyan had to follow Ran Panqing to kneel in front of the queen. The other concubines also knelt. The queen didn't call out, and the concubines knelt. It wasn't until one of the concubines couldn't kneel and her body began to sway that the queen called them.

"This palace doesn't care how you fight in private, but if you dare to stretch out your hand to the selection of show girls, don't blame this palace for being unkind to you." The queen said sharply, "Concubine Jing, have you written it down?" ”

"The ministers and concubines have written it down." Jing Concubine's voice trembled.

The queen said: "If you commit a first offense, you will be punished for being grounded for half a month and copying the palace rules a hundred times." ”

Concubine Jing replied in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”

Queen: "It's all right, you all stand down." ”

"The concubines and others will retire." A group of concubines immediately withdrew from Fengyi Palace, they really knelt for a long time, and these delicate concubines couldn't stand it, so they were in a hurry to go back to the palace to rest.

Ran Panqing was curious: "What did Concubine Jing do?" provoked the queen to teach her a lesson? ”

Mo Qingyan naturally knew what Concubine Jing had done, in the past two years or so, she had cultivated to the second level of Qi training, and her divine sense had increased accordingly, and she often used her divine sense to eavesdrop on the conversations of the eunuchs and palace maids, and she knew more about the harem than anyone else. However, she naturally did not say that she knew, and pretended to be puzzled and curious.

Someone in the know came up, and this person was the concubine who raised the eldest prince. Concubine Xiang has a lively personality, likes to listen to gossip, and also likes to talk to people about gossip, she seems to be heartless, but Mo Qingyan knows that this person is very successful, has no ambition, and knows best what his future is. The eldest prince was bent on being raised by her in the direction of the idle king, and perhaps, she will be the most blessed of the women in this palace.

"I know that."

Ran Panqing hurriedly said, "Sister Xiang, come and listen." ”

The rest of the concubines who walked near the three also pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip of the concubines.

Xiang Concubine said: "One of the show girls this time is Jing Concubine's sister. ”

Concubine Zhuang asked, "Concubine Jing helped her sister and did it to other show girls?" ”

"Oh!" Concubine Xiang said, "Concubine Jing did it to her sister. She summoned her sister to her palace and invited her sister to a cup of tea. As a result, not long after her sister went back, she had a lot of acne on her face and was kicked out of the palace. ”

"She actually did it to her sister?" A concubine was surprised.

Concubine Xiang said: "Because she doesn't want her sister to enter the palace!" In exchange for you, do you want your sister to enter the palace and compete with the emperor for favor? ”

The concubines shook their heads. A concubine said: "Since you don't want her sister to enter the palace, just talk to the family." Why did everyone enter the palace and select before they started? ”

Xiang Concubine said: "That's because her sister is not her own sister, but her sister." Concubine Jing's father was a spoiled concubine and killed his wife, and after listening to the words of the pampered concubine, he wanted to send his youngest daughter to the palace to fight for wealth, and he didn't care about the eldest daughter at all. Concubine Jing drugged her sister in a fit of rage. ”

Concubine Xian said: "Then Concubine Jing's father doesn't blame Concubine Jing?" ”

Ran Panqing sneered and said, "No matter how you say that Concubine Jing is also the emperor's concubine, how can a courtier be blamed?" What's more, Concubine Jing's father already spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, which was not right. Look, after this incident, the rest of Jing Concubine's family will definitely punish Jing Concubine's father, let him kill his favorite concubine, and then marry the concubine far away, and not allow the concubine to stay in the capital anymore. ”

The concubine nodded: "If that concubine successfully enters the palace, their mother and daughter can continue to be powerful in Concubine Jing's house, maybe that concubine can really kill Concubine Jing's mother and take the throne herself." It's a pity, as soon as Concubine Jing made a move, the ending of these two mothers and daughters was doomed. ”

"Well deserved." Concubine Xian snorted, "This palace hates this kind of frivolous woman who doesn't know her identity the most. It was also Concubine Jing who got people out of the palace, otherwise the palace would definitely want her to look good. ”

All the concubines nodded one after another, but only the concubines who were born as concubines did not echo them, and sped up their pace away from them.

After gossiping, everyone parted and went back to their respective palaces. After Jing Concubine's appearance, many concubines' hearts were moved. If there are show girls who they think are competitive, will they cut off their way to the palace at the beginning? However, thinking of the queen's warning, everyone had to press the impulse in their hearts. Now the queen must be firmly on the show girl's part, they can't hit the muzzle of the gun, and let the queen use the topic to deal with them.

Mo Qingyan returned to Ganquan Palace, and the small buns on both sides ran out and hugged Mo Qingyan's thighs. Mo Qingyan smiled all of a sudden, lifted the little bun, and held it in his arms. Now, she has spontaneously comprehended the feeling of maternal love.

"Yu'er, do you miss your mother?"

"Yes!" Xiao Baozi nodded, and then imprinted saliva on Mo Qingyan's face.

Mo Qingyan wiped away her saliva with a smile and nodded the nose of the little bun: "Little guy, why are you so enthusiastic?" ”

"Mother, fly a kite, fly a kite." Xiao Baozi twisted his body and asked.

Mo Qingyan is no better than other palace concubines, kneeling for a while does not affect her body at all, since her son wants to go out to play, she will accompany her son.

With his son and a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Mo Qingyan and his party came to a relatively empty place in the imperial garden. There are no pools and lakes here, no rockeries and strange rocks, only a meadow, Mo Qingyan didn't have to worry about his son's safety, put his son down, let him run and jump happily on the grass, and followed a few little eunuchs to put the kite in the shape of a small fish into the sky.

The colorful kites fly in the blue sky and white clouds, which is particularly beautiful. Perhaps it piqued the interest of others, and after a while, several more kites appeared in the sky, dotted in the air. A gossip-shaped kite approached the small fish kite, and after a while, the two kites became entangled. The little eunuch hurriedly retracted the line, and the owner of the gossip kite was also reeling in the line. After two pulls, the string of the gossip kite is broken.

The kite of the small bun is a fishing line, which is very strong, and it falls to the grass with the gossip kite. The little bun changed to the courier and ran forward, picked up the gossip kite, and then ran back to show the loot to his mother.

Mo Qingyan touched the head of the little bun and taught him: "Flying a kite is to release mildew, what are you doing with other people's mildew?" Hurry up and lose it. ”

Xiao Baozi looked at the kite in his hand, then looked at the serious face of his mother, tilted his head and thought about it, and was about to lose the gossip kite. I heard a very nice voice: "The concubines see Duan Concubine Niangniang, see His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

This voice is really very good, Mo Qingyan has only heard such a beautiful voice in the Tianyin Pavilion of the cultivation realm. But the good voices of the people in Tianyin Pavilion are related to the exercises they cultivate, but now that they are in the mortal realm, how can they have such a beautiful voice?

Mo Qingyan followed the voice and looked over, only to see a very beautiful girl standing not far away to salute her and Xiao Baozi. She also said before that there was no better looking woman than Ran Panqing among the show girls, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face not long after. This woman is very beautiful, as the saying goes, "If you increase one point, it will be too long, if you subtract one point, it will be too short, if you are powdered, it will be too white, and if you are too red." This woman is not only beautiful, but also very beautiful, and has an outstanding appearance. Such a superb product will be Ran Panqing's fierce rival!

Mo Qingyan sighed in her heart, but she was not jealous at all. The so-called red face and dry bones, no matter how beautiful they are, they will wither one day. What's more, she wasn't the emperor's favorite, and she didn't think about competing for favor with the new show girls, so why be jealous of this woman.

"Get up." Mo Qingyan called Xiunu up, and didn't ask Xiunu how she knew that she was a concubine. After all, the little prince at this age in the palace is only Xiao Baozi alone. This show girl is not only beautiful, but also very smart.

"What's your name?"

"Concubine Wei Hanzhu." Wei Hanzhu replied.

"Wei Hanzhu. Good name. Mo Qingyan praised and said to Xiao Baozi, "Emperor, return the kite to Wei Xiunu." ”

Xiao Baozi looked at Wei Hanzhu, threw the kite at Wei Hanzhu suddenly, and threw himself into Mo Qingyan's arms.
