"When a country prospers, His Majesty's heirs are the most important. If Concubine Chu is allowed to occupy His Majesty all the time, and she can't give birth, won't our Li Kingdom have to be destroyed? ”

"Concubine Fu Niangniang!" Concubine Liu stood up suddenly, got up and closed the window, returned to the distance, sighed and said, "We all understand the truth, but we can't say it." His Majesty married Concubine Chu before he became the emperor, and he once wanted to hand over Ji'er to her to raise him several times. If it weren't for your father and brother's strong opposition, she would have been a queen long ago with Ji'er and His Majesty's favor. Now that His Majesty has not been established for a long time, it seems that the only people in the palace who may become queens in the end are you and her. She has the favor of His Majesty, and you have the back. Scenery. Although I have Ji'er, Ji'er is not my biological child, and I don't have a background like you, so I can't be a queen. ”

Fu Yinling naturally knew that she could not become a queen, and the reason why she came to her was precisely because of this.

"So," Concubine Liu said to her in a low voice, "I can wholeheartedly help you get to the back seat." ”

Seeing that she had made her words clear, Fu Yinling didn't need to bother with her lips and tongues, and said with a smile: "With Concubine Liu's words, I should rest assured." I don't know what Concubine Liu has in mind? ”

"When Concubine Fu comes to me, she must have an idea in her heart, so please ask Concubine Fu to say it, and I will do it."

Fu Yinling nodded and said, "Because of my identity, Your Majesty is jealous of me and is unwilling to be too close to me. And Your Majesty has entrusted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to your care, presumably Your Majesty still has some affection for you. I need you to share the rain and dew of Concubine Chu and conceive a child as soon as possible. ”

Concubine Liu sighed and said, "This is easy to say, Your Majesty comes to me once or twice a month, but for the sake of me being his old wife." Now that Concubine Chu has no children, he naturally will not give me children. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as Your Majesty will come to you, I will naturally have a way to make you pregnant with a child."

"Oh? What's the solution? Concubine Liu asked curiously.

Fu Yinling didn't answer, just smiled lightly.

After leaving Concubine Liu's dormitory, Fu Yinling asked Qiu He: "Have you put all the medicines that the palace let you put in place?" ”

Qiu He nodded: "It has been sprinkled in Concubine Liu's lampshade according to Niangniang's instructions." It's just that the slave doesn't understand, Fu Hou Ye specially asked people to bring good things to Niangniang from the Western Regions, why should they be used by Concubine Liu? ”

"Bengong is now a grasshopper on the same rope with her, and if she is good, Bengong can be good." Fu Yinling smiled helplessly: "Now, it depends on whether this Concubine Liu has the ability to keep Your Majesty." ”

After visiting Concubine Liu that day, there was nothing to do for a few days, until a juggling troupe came to the palace, and the concubines and the emperor went over to watch the juggling together. Chu Ling was not very interested in these things, and in her opinion, she would rather watch the dancing knife and get the gun. Occasionally, however, the emperor knew that he had been too unfair to the other concubines, so he called everyone over.

For the first time, Fu Yinling saw all the concubines, and at a glance, it was no wonder that she had no impression of the others. Even if these concubines look ordinary, they don't seem to put their minds on competing for favor at all, and they don't even bother to apply rouge gouache, which is not as delicate as the female dependents of ordinary people.

Presumably they also know that no matter how much they do, they can't share the favor, so it's better to live the second half of their lives honestly and peacefully.

Juggling on stage, Chu Ling yawned, and before she could speak, Yin Huaiqing asked her with concern, "Sleepy?" Let's go back to sleep. ”

Chu Ling shook his head: "Your Majesty said that I would accompany the concubines to watch juggling today, if it is because I go back now, others will hate me." ”

No matter how special Chu Ling is, she has been in the palace for so long, and she has also learned some truths about being a human being, she said this, Yin Huaiqing couldn't say anything, so she continued to watch juggling.

Fu Yinling looked at Concubine Liu, who was sitting under Yin Huaiqing, and glanced at her. Concubine Liu understood, so she went over with two cups of tea, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chu, please drink tea." ”

Yin Huaiqing is still very good to this gentle and graceful Concubine Liu, otherwise she would not hand over the crown prince to her to raise. In his heart, Concubine Liu has always been well-behaved and will never do anything out of the ordinary.

He smiled lightly at Concubine Liu, took the cup, and said, "You have a heart, how is Ji'er doing lately?" How's your homework? ”

Concubine Liu replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is all right, and his calligraphy and painting are excellent, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misses His Majesty a little, I wonder if His Majesty can take the time to meet him?" ”

When Chu Ling heard her say this, how could he not understand what she meant? Although it was very uncomfortable to push her husband to others, she was ready to accept everything when she chose Yin Huaiqing.

Chu Ling said to Yin Huaiqing: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time. Go over and see it today, or he won't even remember what you look like.

Yin Huaiqing tapped Chu Ling's nose and said with a smile: "You think everyone is you, you only have a moment of memory, and you immediately forgot about it afterwards." ”

Chu Ling pouted, many times it wasn't that she had a bad memory, it was just that she didn't want to worry about it and made it difficult for him.

Yin Huaiqing also understood, lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I only go to see Ji'er, and I don't stay there for long, and I still go to look for you at night." ”

Chu Ling was silent, but there was an irrepressible smile on his face.

After the juggling, Yin Huaiqing went to Concubine Liu's bedroom. Along the way, Yin Huaiqing walked in front, Concubine Liu followed closely behind him in small steps, and suddenly Yin Huaiqing stopped, Concubine Liu didn't have time to stop, and hit his back directly.

Concubine Liu was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine should die, the concubine is reckless......"

Yin Huaiqing chuckled, stretched out his hand to help Concubine Liu up, and said to her: "It was I who stopped suddenly, why are you wrong?" ”

"Concubine...... Concubine ......"

Yin Huaiqing looked at her with a look of horror in her eyes, which was very different from Chu Ling, who didn't know what she was afraid of. Yin Huaiqing has always liked an informal and enthusiastic woman like Chu Ling. But occasionally seeing such a little bird depends on people, and the poor woman will not reject it.

He suddenly felt pity in his heart, stretched out his hand to help Concubine Liu up, and said: "You don't have to be like this in the future, I am the emperor, not a tiger, and I don't eat people." ”

Concubine Liu blinked, and her face suddenly turned crimson.

Yin Huaiqing let go of her hand and walked side by side with Concubine Liu. After walking a few steps, Concubine Liu finally broke the silence and asked him, "Your Majesty, why do you love Concubine Chu so much?" ”

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Yin Huaiqing turned his head to look at her.

"The concubine is really envious of Concubine Chu and can have His Majesty's favor. The concubine knew that she was no better than Concubine Chu, but the concubine still wanted to know what His Majesty loved Concubine Chu deeply. Concubine Liu said earnestly.

Yin Huaiqing thought about it carefully and replied to her: "Before her, I had fallen in love with another woman, but that woman was plotting to kill me with others. If it weren't for Ling'er sacrificing his life to save me, I wouldn't be alive now. ”

"Because you sacrificed your life for Your Majesty, is Your Majesty so fond of Concubine Chu?" Concubine Liu sighed and said, "If this is the case, the concubine is also willing to die a thousand times, ten thousand times for His Majesty." ”

Yin Huaiqing fell silent when she heard her say this. He knew that he was sorry for these concubines in the palace, including Fu Yinling. If Fu Yinling was the daughter of an ordinary family, he would not treat her like this. But she wasn't.

He was an emperor, and he couldn't help himself a lot of the time.

Unconsciously walked to Concubine Liu's bedroom, Yin Ji heard that someone outside was rumored that Yin Huaiqing was coming, so he hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Yin Huaiqing patted Yin Ji's head and asked him lovingly, "Ji'er, have you completed the homework assigned by the Taifu recently?" ”

Yin Ji nodded, "Lord Taifu praised Ji'er, but Ji'er doesn't know much about governing the country, and Taifu can only give Erchen the knowledge on paper, these things, Erchen wants to hear what his father has to say." ”

"Statecraft is a big problem, and I can't tell you all about it. But don't worry, I'll take it upon you to get it to you. After speaking, Yin Huaiqing said again: "You are not small, you will also go to the court tomorrow and participate in the discussion of politics." ”

Yin Ji listened to it and said in surprise: "Really? Can Erchen really go to court? ”

Yin Huaiqing nodded: "Your grandfather came to the court at the age of six, and I also participated in the government at the age of twelve. The emperor of our Li country has always taken on the great responsibility early. ”

Yin Ji straightened his body and said, "The son must not return to his father's trust." ”

Yin Huaiqing nodded and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”

"Well, my father and the emperor also rested early, and my son retired." Yin Ji bowed and retired.

After Yin Ji left, Yin Huaiqing glanced at Concubine Liu, who was standing on the side, and said, "It's not too early, Concubine Ai should rest early." ”

Concubine Liu bit her lower lip and plucked up the courage to ask him, "Won't Your Majesty stay tonight?" ”

"Nope." Yin Huaiqing shook his head and was about to leave here. Inadvertently, a gust of evening breeze blew in from outside, and a strange fragrance hit the nose, and Yin Huaiqing suddenly felt a little soft in his body.

Concubine Liu found that Yin Huaiqing seemed to be a little wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yin Huaiqing looked back at her, only to see her worried eyes, very similar to Chu Ling who saved him that year. He raised his hand to caress Concubine Liu's face, and said softly, "Ling'er, why are you here?" ”

Concubine Liu's body was shocked, and she quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not Concubine Chu." ”

Yin Huaiqing didn't seem to hear what she said, so he picked her up and turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

*

In the handover hall, Chu Ling and the others dozed off, and they didn't see Yin Huaiqing coming. Just when she was about to fall asleep, the palace maid suddenly came to pass the word and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is staying at Concubine Liu's place tonight." ”

Chu Ling frowned, if it was normal, it would be nothing for Yin Huaiqing to go to sleep with other people once or twice, but not today, he had already agreed to come to her. She is a Jianghu person, and she hates people the most without trust.

Thinking so, she suddenly stood up and rushed to Concubine Liu.
