Concubine Li stroked the peony flowers behind her ears, and her smile spread gently and softly, which was obviously extremely gentle and beautiful, but it made Mama Wei feel a chill on her back, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Concubine Li glanced at her lightly: "Mama Wei, don't worry, if this plan is completed, the palace will let you go out and live a reunion with your children." ”

Mama Wei's knees weakened, and she hurriedly knelt down to show her loyalty: "Being able to serve Niangniang is a blessing that slaves and maids have cultivated for several lifetimes, and children and grandchildren have their own blessings for children and grandchildren. ”

Concubine Li became more and more happy after hearing the smile on her face: "Okay, don't worry, this palace will naturally not treat you badly, and when you turn around, you can rest assured that someone will take some silver taels and send them to your children." ”

Mama Wei's face was full of gratitude, and she kowtowed a few times before getting up: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

"Alright, you can go down."

Mama Wei withdrew from the door and went to the place where she was a person, so she carefully wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, Niangniang said that she would send someone to send silver taels to her children, this is not grace at all, it is to remind her that her own family is under her control, thinking of the scene when she saw Shen Ninghua today, she gritted her teeth slightly, anyway, so many regretful things have been done, unless she dies, it is impossible for Concubine Li to let her out, and it is not bad this time.

Concubine Li is now in charge of palace affairs, and she is the first person in the palace, and many people are competing with each other, so this birthday banquet is particularly carefully arranged. All kinds of masters of all sizes also began to prepare congratulatory gifts a few days earlier, because they knew in advance that the emperor would also participate in Concubine Li's birthday banquet, and if the gifts given were shining, it would be excellent to be able to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Shen Ninghua personally looked at the gifts prepared by Bizhu, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he and Baili Junyi got into the carriage together.

"Ning Hua, you have prepared a lot of gifts this time." Baili Junyi held her plain white fingertips and said casually.

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Concubine Li has just been promoted to concubine, and this birthday gift naturally can't be too light." ”

"I'm afraid that if we send expensive gifts in, we won't get the slightest benefit."

Shen Ninghua glanced at him, and a smile flashed in Qing Lingling's eyes: "Originally, I didn't plan to ask for benefits, but I heard Ye Yi say that the gifts prepared by the masters in the palace were two layers thicker than in previous years, but I don't know where I heard the rumors, saying that Concubine Li was very popular with the emperor, and the emperor would go to her birthday banquet in person, and everyone added another page to the gift list." ”

Baili Junyi shook his head with a smile: "I don't know who sent it, don't rely on me." I have that leisure, it is better to accompany my beautiful daughter-in-law, after all, her concubine's birthday is celebrated every year, and my beautiful daughter-in-law is only one. ”

Shen Ninghua glanced at him, his eyes flickered slightly with a sense of coquettishness, which only made Baili Jun smile more and more happy: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you have suffered a loss?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, how dare the little one." Baili Junyi hurriedly bowed his hand, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing, Baili Junyi hadn't recovered her identity yet, and she was a princess, after they got married, he was going to be a vassal to himself, but he didn't expect him to take out this matter again today to make fun of it.

When the two came to the palace, the imperial garden was already quite lively, because today was the Hundred Flowers Festival, and there were already many flowers in full bloom. Veils were tied everywhere, flowers were not lively, and behind the orderly seats stood a palace maid in light green clothes, each standing with their hands down and being particularly respectful.

Shen Ninghua couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, in the imperial garden, she could not only feel the warm spring breeze and appreciate the blooming flowers, but also showed the emperor's favor and attention to her.

The two of them were brought into the table by the palace maids, and as soon as Shen Ninghua sat down, he felt that Youdao's gaze fell on him, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look over, facing the cold eyes of hundreds of miles of Jinchuan, glanced at him lightly, and then turned his gaze.

Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth, his heart was full of anger, but his face was not obvious at all. Yang Yingxue walked to Shen Ninghua's side and greeted her softly: "Princess Zhaohua ......"

Shen Ninghua got up and dodged, not accepting her salute: "Why is this Concubine Yang?" Her voice was not high, but the people around her had long been paying attention to her, so as soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her.

Yang Yingxue had embarrassment on her face: "I wanted to visit the princess a few days ago, but I heard Miss Hongling say that you are not feeling well, but now you are better?" ”

Hongling girl? Yang Yingxue's current identity is the second prince's side concubine, although the second prince is now demoted to the county king, but her side concubine is also much more noble than the maid next to Shen Ninghua, besides, regardless of identity, Yang Yingxue is still Shen Ninghua's cousin, let her cousin call her maid a girl, this Princess Zhaohua is a little too big.

Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold, and her cold gaze made Yang Yingxue's heart tremble: "The day Concubine Yang went happened to be my mother's death day, because she had to fast and pray for blessings, so she didn't see a guest under the pretense of being unwell, but it made you worry." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, looking at Yang Yingxue's eyes was a little different, just listening to what she said, I thought I cared about Princess Zhaohua, but I didn't expect that as a cousin, I didn't know about my aunt's death day, and I couldn't help but be a little suspicious whether this concern was true or false.

Yang Yingxue's face was red and white, and she felt the sight of Baili Jinchuan on the other side, almost burning her in a hole, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart: "I ......"

Shen Ninghua interrupted her: "It's about to start, Concubine Yang should go and sit down." ”

Yang Yingxue wanted to say something, but she just heard the sound of the communication outside: "Concubine Li is here!" He quickly restrained his expression and quickly stepped aside. The crowd around them also restrained their expressions and respectfully saluted the concubine Li who walked in.

Concubine Li was wearing a dark red gold line depicted concubine costume, wearing a string of glass pearls around her neck, the hairpin on her head was shining, the peony behind her ears was fragrant, and Lin Feiyuan, who was wearing a pink dress beside her, supported her arm, the third prince and the fourth prince followed behind her, and then a string of palace maids and grandmothers held their breath and walked in with style, so that everyone present sighed from their hearts: The momentum is extraordinary!

"I've seen the concubine Niangniang, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Concubine Li let go of Lin Feiyuan's hand, and Lin Feiyuan stood aside obediently.

"Everyone, today is the birthday of this palace, I originally wanted to set a table, just pass it casually, but I didn't expect the emperor to take pity on him and allow a banquet to be held in the imperial garden, but you who are tired come to run." Concubine Li's words sounded like self-humility, but the pride in her tone revealed her true purpose.

"The emperor's heart for his mother is the only one in the palace, our sisters are envious, we can come to touch the joy of the mother, and we are happy to run as many times as we want."

It was the new Concubine Lan who spoke, this Concubine Lan is also a legend, she was originally a promise, but she didn't know how, after Zhao Huiying's death, she quickly entered the eyes of Baili Qingcang, and was named Lan Guiren in one fell swoop, and was named Lan Concubine in less than three months, and then Xia Jingxin's affair happened, Lan Concubine was snubbed, but she didn't expect that this time she was crowned a concubine, she actually came later, and the shortest qualifications climbed to the fastest.

Looking at her like this now, do you want to stand in line with Concubine Li?

Hearing her words, the smile on Concubine Li's face became more and more obvious, obviously enjoying this flattery very much.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this announcement, Concubine Li hurriedly got up to greet her, with a big smile on her face, and even the third and fourth princes were extremely proud. In the harem, the sons rely on their mothers, and the mothers depend on each other, the higher their status as concubines, the more favored by the emperor, they are also smooth in the previous dynasty, they are smooth, and the position of the concubine is becoming more and more stable.

Baili Qingcang's face softened, and after seeing that everyone had finished saluting, he smiled and shouted: "Get up, you don't need to be so polite, a few days is the birthday of the concubine, I saw that the imperial garden was particularly lively, and I also came to ask for a glass of wine." ”

Concubine Li hurriedly ordered someone to take the wine jug and pour a full cup for Baili Qingcang with her own hands: "The emperor is willing to come, that is, he gave the concubine face, and the concubine was grateful, that is, all the wine was drunk by the emperor, and the concubine was also happy in her heart." ”

"Hehe, I've drunk all the wine, and the guests in the garden should be dissatisfied with me in their hearts." Baili Qingcang smiled.

Concubine Li Guifei got a glass of wine and raised her hands: "Your Majesty, the concubines salute the emperor with a glass and wish the emperor all blessings and peace." ”

"Today you are a birthday star, but you let me take advantage."

Baili Qingcang gently raised a glass with her, and then drank it all. The emperor gave face like this, and Concubine Li's face became more and more red, and she only felt that the flowers in the imperial garden were extraordinarily beautiful.

Everyone praised one after another, and for a while, Concubine Li was in the limelight.

Lin Feiyuan stood at the table, helping Baili Qingcang and Concubine Li pour wine, with a little scar on her plain white wrist, which made people look particularly dazzling.

"Are you...... Lin Feiyuan? ”

Hearing this, Lin Feiyuan hurriedly knelt down and tightened his sleeves to cover the scar on his wrist: "Yes, the courtier Lin Feiqiao offended the emperor, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with a bit of sympathy and pity: "Your Majesty, this girl has been copying scriptures at home recently, and the concubine saw that her arm was injured before, so she could recuperate, who expected that this child would not listen, and the concubine saw that she was sincere, and felt pity in her heart, so she let her enter the palace to speak." ”

"Hurt? I remembered that it was scratched by an animal at the palace banquet that day, and the scar was really ugly, I remember that Ninghua didn't have muscle cream? As he spoke, Baili Qingcang set his eyes on Shen Ninghua.
