The more we reach the end of the year, the busier the previous dynasty becomes. Fortunately, it is another year of Ruixuefeng, except for the outstanding achievements of the Liu family of the Annan Prefecture, the Wen family persistently asked for the title of the county lord of Fufeng, and the Xue family supported Concubine Qi Shu day and night. There was nothing else to do.

Xue Chuling never saw anyone again in the month, saying that he prayed in front of the Bodhisattva day and night.

It was snowing heavily on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, who was not involved in the harem for a while, rarely attended the banquet. Naturally, he also said a lot about the good sons of the Fufeng County Lord. Mu Beiyi is rare to be harmonious, for a while, the mother and son are filial piety, the wife and concubine are harmonious, and the heavenly family is noble. Such a bright ice floc sprinkled with poplars in the sky also seems to indicate a good harvest in the coming year.

In the banquet, there was naturally Mr. Nothingness in the teaching workshop, and he presented a new year's music as usual. The new music is called "Xi Shengyin". It's still Mr. Nothing's style, not happy at all, and I can't hear auspiciousness. Fortunately, it can be accompanied by a banquet to praise peace, and it is just solemn.

During the banquet, when the squirrel fish, which was the favorite squirrel fish in the pillow spring, there was a heavy snow outside the hall and an attendant came to report that the Weiyang Palace had an attack. Xue Chuling picked a good time, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone said that it was an auspicious omen. Because of the festival and the difficult snowy road, Mu Bei Yi did not have to wait for the concubines here. That night, only the Son of Heaven and Concubine Qi went to Weiyang Hall to wait for the good news.

Pillow Chun was so happy in his heart that he could finish the squirrel fish in the sour sauce. After eating, the banquet was dispersed, and when he returned to Qi Yunxuan, he saw that he had added a warm stove and some charcoal fires, and Su Bai also replaced the lichen with new ones. She rejoiced and ate another apple in the hope of safety in the coming year, and then rewarded Qi Yunxuan's people.

Each person wrapped two taels of silver in red seals, and gave Su Bai and Yulan a newly obtained gilt bracelet each. Xiao Xizi and Xiao Douzi each got a Jizi purse with a small handful of silver melon seeds. The new cherries and green fruits got red and green cotton winter clothes.

Everyone was rejoicing, and they played two finch cards, and slept comfortably.

A few days after the New Year, Concubine Qi Shufei was also exempted from asking for peace everywhere, and she slept until almost noon, but when she got up, she heard that Xue Chuling had not yet given birth to a child.

She had a seizure for six or seven hours, because she was very well raised during pregnancy, the fetus sat firmly and was told by Concubine Qi to eat and supplement on weekdays, so she was a little pregnant. Xue Chuling was small and weak, so she was born very difficult.

Su Bai said to Pillow Chun again, His Majesty is still waiting in Weiyang Palace at this time, and most of the concubines in the Six Palaces have gone to wait for the birth of the new emperor heir when they see Xue Qing. Only the pillow spring slept in a daze, if you don't go, you're afraid of missing it.

Pillow Chun thought to himself that it was not my son, and Baba waited for the sake of the Son of Heaven to show his face. But he knew the severity of the face, so he called Yulan to come in and comb her hair and change clothes. When he put the last plum blossom into the bun, he saw Xiao Xizi hurriedly come in and report: "Born and born!" Zhen Jieyu is born! ”

"How?" Su Bai asked.

Xiao Xizi gasped hurriedly: "I think it was that Zhen Jieyu's daily prayers played a role or the Bodhisattva appeared, and the birth of this fetus in Weiyang Hall took a lot of effort." It is said that the doctors of the Tai Hospital said that if they were not afraid, they would have to die two corpses......"

"Seriously!" Magnolia said.

"Yes, yes......" Xiao Xizi hurriedly responded, "Zhen Jieyu gave birth to a princess, and the mother and daughter are safe." ”

Pillow Chun unconsciously put down the hand on his chest and asked, "Are you still healthy?" Your Majesty has not been Jin Feng Zhen Jieyu? ”

"It's just that it's harder to be healthy. Your Majesty has not been promoted to ......"

Pillow Chun's heart was cold.

“…… said that the New Year is approaching, and it is necessary to seal the six palaces. The new year will be a three-year general election, and it will be necessary to copy the holy decree from Menxia Province tomorrow, and it is not only Zhen Jieyu who will be promoted. Xiao Xizi just finished throwing up.

Yulan only took a feather duster to push him: "Asking you to say half a sentence is not to let our little master be confused!" ”

Xiao Xizi said goodbye and hid with a hippie smile.

"The little lord is relieved?" Su Bai put a pure spring jade bracelet on his wrist.

Pillow Chun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Concubine Qi Shu lost this opportunity, so that Xiao Xue's family has a daughter to rely on." Later...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for her to handle Xiao Xue's easily. If Xiao Xue's family gets pregnant again, now that the dignity is different from the past, it will be difficult to take it away. The size of Xue's centrifugation is also a good thing for me, otherwise it would be difficult for her two to be favored. After that, he shook his head slightly, "This princess of the Xiao Xue clan really seems to be a gift from heaven. ”

The next day, the holy decree of the province of Menxia was announced to the six palaces.

Zhenjieyu Xue Chuling gave birth to a meritorious daughter, and it was produced on the first day of the new year, which was very auspicious. Mu Beiyi promoted him to a third-grade noble concubine. The precious concubine listened to be more precious than the precious person who entered the palace at the beginning of that day.

There is also surprising and joyful news on the side.

Xi Wanyi, Liu Anran's father, Liu Dadu, has made outstanding contributions, and the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate has been the leader of the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Protectorate for a long time. Or this year, the stability of the DPRK government is particularly important, and the stability of the border is the most rare. Even if the merits of the heirs are not as great as the peace of the territory, they will be promoted to Xiwanyi Liu Anran as the third-grade Jieyu, and the lord of Qiyang Palace will be given the Hanfang Palace, and she will be the mother. Liu Anran was born in a high family but his grace was dull, and now he has become the main mother, which shows Mu Beiyi's determination to commend loyal ministers and capable ministers. As soon as this decree came out, the ministers of the central and southern factions of the DPRK had another voice praising the wisdom of the Son of Heaven. Only the royal maid who lived in Lanyue Pavilion in Qiyang Palace, seeing that the old master had become the current master of the same palace, felt even more chilled in her heart.

The Wen family's months of invitation to the seal were finally settled, and the county lord of Fufeng was canonized as a concubine of Yipinrong.

And one more. It is the new Zai will choose the rookie to enter the palace, and the six palaces will be the table, and the special promotion of the concubine Qi Shu Xue will be the first imperial concubine.

Imperial Concubine Da Xue's ......

"The harem has been ownerless for many years, and in Your Majesty's position, the Daxue clan is indeed a much better choice than the Fufeng County Lord." Liu Anran served Xingong's fragrant tea for Pillow Chun to taste, "I can not only get rid of the control of Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, but also get the support of the Xue family." Xiao Xue gave birth to a daughter, and Da Xue's hopes were disappointed, and His Majesty's move also calmed Da Xue's heart. ”

Pillow Chun thought otherwise: "The imperial concubine is the imperial concubine after all, not the queen." "As soon as you taste the new tea, it really smells good," Your Majesty may just be just to level out a bowl of water and weigh everything. In his heart, he thought that the Da Xue clan was now only one step away from being in the back position, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart.

Liu Anran saw her depressed expression, and said with relief: "The soldiers are coming to block it, it's useless to think about it." ”

Pillow spring chin, looking at Liu Anran's new relocation of the new hall, it is really clean and elegant, and the four decorations are very elegant. Only then did a smile come to her mouth: "Sister Liu is the glory of the family, and now she can be regarded as a Jieyu Niangniang." ”

"Jieyu." Liu Anran's eyes sank, and he gently plucked his bun with the jade scratch on his sideburns, "Your Majesty favors you, you are a noble and beautiful, and everyone respects her." If Your Majesty doesn't have you in his eyes, what's the fun of being a mother. Look at the elegant concubine Jiang, who has no pets and no children for ten years, and no one takes her to heart. ”

"So no one harmed her, framed her, and remembered her." Pillow Chun shook Liu Anran's hand, "My sister is beautiful and talented, her family background is prominent, and her conduct is upright. Where can there be no comparison? My sister is now Jieyu, although His Majesty is looking at my sister's father's exploits, but if my sister has an heir in the future, it will be a world-shaking difference. ”

Liu Anran unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen when he heard this, but there was a light sorrow between his eyebrows, and the waves under his eyes seemed to float, and he said firmly: "The body is still fine, and I eat the fetal medicine soup from time to time." Whether it's because I'm not as blessed as others, or because my grace is thin, it looks like it's going to take three years. ”

Seeing that she was thinking a lot, Pillow Chun said with relief: "Sometimes I don't force it, but I come." ”

Liu Anran nodded reluctantly.

As he was talking, he saw an attendant come in to report that the Moon Maiden had come to ask for peace.

Pillow Chun was a little surprised: "The Moon Imperial Girl is so obedient?" ”

A little disdain appeared on the face of the personal palace maid beside Liu Anran, and she said to Pillow Chun disappreciatively: "She doesn't look at her own identity, she just rushes to sell her every day." Our second lady, you know best, if you are not in a hurry, you have always been gentle and humble. She just begs for nothing to bully our little second sister with a good temperament, who can show these looks! ”

The crescent moon was the bed that crawled from Liu Anran's side, and this incident also made Liu Anran despised by the palace, so he naturally didn't like the crescent moon in his heart. Liu Anran waved his hand: "This palace doesn't have time to see her." ”

Boiled wine nodded, and went out with his chin raised. Shaoqing turned back again: "That month, the maid refused to leave, saying that she had embroidered a gold thread Ruyi purse with her own hands and wanted to give it to you." Or the slave maid will ask the maid to get rid of her......"

"My sister is the master at this time, it's not that she can't get rid of her. It's just that it's rare for Gao Jin Jieyu, and there are many people gossiping behind their backs, but it's not easy to do. Pillow Chun covered his lips with a handkerchief and thought for a while, "It's okay for you to see her." ”

Liu Anran naturally knew that it was a truth, but his face was still a little uneasy, and he nodded reluctantly: "Let her in." ”

After half a cup of tea, the crescent moon was brought into the temple by boiling wine. The newly sealed Jieyu's Hanguang Hall is beautifully furnished, and the new lichens and luxurious incense burners are in her eyes. After turning the corridor, I entered the side hall, and I saw that it was Xijieyu Liu Anran who was doing it in the right position, but it was Ming Guiyi An Zhenchun who was on the side. The two of them tilted their heads and were talking about a gold-inlaid jade hand, glanced at her, and continued.

An and Liu are both dressed in gorgeous clothes today, taking advantage of the beginning of the new year to dress up red and purple, and they are the concubines of the Son of Heaven of the family, looking noble and elegant from afar, very beautiful.

As soon as the crescent moon swept away the thick velvet jacket skirt that was wearing the half-old goose yellow embroidered with heart flowers from the previous year, she was a little embarrassed, and asked for peace with her head, only to take out a delicate embroidered purse from the cuffs, and said softly: "The concubine saw that it was the beginning of the new year, and there was nothing good to give to the mother, so she made this purse with her own hands, taking the meaning of peace and happiness." Please also ask Xi Jieyu...... Laugh. ”

When Liu Anran heard this, he only glanced at it, and he was still holding an ice-colored Kunlun jade bracelet inlaid with gold branch rings in his hand, and said coldly: "Sit down." ”

The maid of the palace boiled wine and stepped forward to receive the purse presented by the crescent moon, and only quietly rested behind the Eight Treasures Pavilion. Seeing that Liu Anran refused to look at it, the crescent moon turned a little paler, and then looked at the pillow spring, quietly only half of it sat on the embroidery pier, and said softly: "Xi Jieyu and Ming Guiyi have been friends since childhood, and the concubine is really envious when she looks at it." It is a rare blessing to have sisters in this palace to accompany and help each other. ”

Cooking wine was most unaccustomed to the crescent moon's attitude, and sneered: "The moon maid has nothing to say about any blessings." In the past, we were all Gong E's servants in Tinglan Pavilion, but now everyone is still serving the little lord Xi, you have become the little master, but it's not a great blessing! ”

When the crescent moon heard this, her shoulders shook, and she only stalked her neck: "This matter is not something that a woman can call the shots......

"If the Moon Maiden has integrity, can she not see the heroism of grabbing the ground with her head? It's still the maid who has a plan, and she just makes up for it! "I'll have to talk about cooking wine.

"That's it!" Liu Anran will be ugly when she sees it, if it is spread out to teach people to secretly arrange her to be mean, it will add to the frustration in the New Year. In the end, the means of the crescent moon are not straightforward, and the reason for climbing the bed is also ugly, she is the mother of the main seat, although she has never been mean, and she has not been easy. At this time, there was a faint impatience in my heart, "Your gift palace has also been accepted, what else do you have to say?" ”

The crescent moon's eyes were red, and she knelt down with her skirt: "Xijieyu Niangniang can give the concubine a way to live!" ”

Liu Anran frowned, very displeased: "You are crying and crying." ”

The crescent moon took out a piece of embroidered flowers from the cuffs, and wiped the corners of her eyes for a while: "The lord of Fufeng has risen to Concubine Rong, and even the front of the courtyard hall in the palace has to burn charcoal, and the amount used on weekdays is more than double that of the example." Concubine Rong said to the housekeeper that she had moved some of the concubines' examples to use. Say concubines...... Say concubines...... is a palace maid, and she is not worthy of good things. It's not like this snowy Chinese New Year's Eve to be unbearably cold......"

The lord of Fufeng County has always looked down on the crescent moon from a humble background, and such a thing seems to have been done by her. Now that she has been promoted to the position of concubine, she is naturally much more proud, and she has to stand up and be majestic in that crescent moon. The corners of Pillow Chun's mouth curled, and he smiled: "The Moon Imperial Maiden said something that the master couldn't understand. Concubine Rong is a second-grade concubine, and Xijieyu is only a horse-headed concubine from the third grade, if you ask to come here, we can't help it. It reminds me of my own...... When our new imperial concubine Niangniang was Concubine Qi, she also valued you very much. ”

Liu Anran gently put down the jade bracelet in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair: "You have always been embarrassed by the imperial concubine, what reason do you have to beg me for a little Jieyu." This palace thinks that it doesn't have the ability to give you a way out. ”

When the crescent moon heard such cold words, her heart was cold, she kowtowed, and replied, "The sky is above." The imperial concubine Niangniang is now in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and she is busy with the happy events of the precious concubine's birthday, how can she take care of the concubine? Xijieyu, you are now noble, you are the mother of the lord, and you are pitiful and pitiful concubines. The concubine was alone in the palace, cold and afraid......"

These words reminded Pillow Chun of the palace maid Ah Yun who hanged herself alone in the plum garden. Although there is no direct evidence to show that Ah Yun was killed by the crescent design, the past of the crescent moon is indeed not simple. A country fisherwoman to today's concubine of the Son of Heaven...... Pillow Chun clenched his palm.

Liu Anran said coldly: "This palace doesn't have the ability to go to Concubine Rong to argue with her." You also said it yourself, the imperial concubine Niangniang is now in charge of the six palaces, so she can naturally manage this matter. ”

Pillow Chun tilted her head to look at the white face of the crescent moon, and her appearance of Ai Ai was not frivolous and weak that the ladies did not have. Mu Beiyi, I love to taste any rouge, and I have a deep heart with a crescent moon, and I can't turn over. Moreover, if this matter really goes back to the Da Xue family, it will not be able to give Liu Anran a reputation for treating his subordinates harshly. Then he persuaded: "Sister Liu, don't worry, if it gets warmer today, it won't be cold for a few days." It's better to reward her with a basket of charcoal, and live a tighter life, which can be regarded as merciful. ”

Wonderful!
