After Su'er left, Yu'er sat alone in the warm pavilion and groaned for a while, and after a long time, she still didn't have a clue, so she got up anxiously and walked out. Seeing this, Jinxin, who was waiting outside, hurriedly came up and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" Yu'er ignored her and walked straight out.

The charcoal fire in the warm pavilion is vigorous, which makes people forget the cold, and now when they walk out of the palace, they are shocked to realize that they have forgotten to put on a big coat. Seeing that the master was shivering from the cold, he couldn't care that she was losing her temper now, so he hurriedly said: "Niang Niang is waiting here, and the slave will go back to get you a big meal!" After speaking, he didn't care whether Yu'er agreed or not, turned around and ran towards the Splendid Palace.

Coincidentally, as soon as this heart left, the emperor came from afar. When he approached and saw Yu'er, whose lips were purple from the cold, his eyes were full of anger, and his face changed unconsciously. I saw that he took off the dark color coat on his body, wrapped Yu'er in his head and face, and then did not forget to reprimand angrily: "On this cold day, I stand in the wind without approving clothes, don't you want to die?!" ”

Yu'er listened to what the emperor said, although her tone was solemn, but she felt warm in her heart, as if she had suddenly returned to Yangchun and March, and she could no longer feel a trace of cold. Chu Sheng saw that she didn't answer, only looked at himself affectionately, even if he was angry again, he lost his temper, came up and hugged her, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you still cold?" ”

Yu'er shook her head, no longer had the anxious look she had just now, and replied affectionately: "It's not cold!" Chu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he still didn't forget to reprimand: "What about the people in your palace? Why are you standing here alone? It seems that I usually give them too many good looks, and they can't even run errands! ”

"Don't blame them, Your Majesty!" Yu'er said coquettishly in Chu Sheng's arms, "Yu'er didn't let them follow!" ”

Chu Sheng's eyebrows, which had just been unraveled, couldn't help but wrinkle together, and he asked softly as he hugged her and walked back, "What's wrong?" The good guy ran out without taking anyone, did someone make you angry? ”

At this moment, Jinxin ran back panting with a big stove and a hand stove, and knelt down in a hurry when he saw the emperor in front of him. Chu Sheng's face was gloomy and he didn't scream, so he let her kneel on the cold ground, thinking that she was really angry. Yu'er couldn't bear it in the end, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, I don't blame her for today's events, she also persuaded the concubine, but the concubine didn't listen and had to come out!" ”

When Chu Sheng heard her say this, he was helpless, but in the end, he still got up and hugged Yu'er back to the Splendid Palace.

After sitting down in the warm pavilion, there were immediately two cups of strong ginger tea from the palace people, and the two of them didn't dare to drink it all in one go, and then they felt that their bodies were warm.

Seeing that Yu'er's little face, which had just turned pale from the cold, finally turned bloody again, Chu Sheng said angrily: "If you dare to do this next time, I will order someone to lock you up in this warm pavilion, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" ”

When Yu'er heard this, she laughed "poof", "Yu'er wrote it down, I won't dare next time!" ”

"You haven't answered me yet, what happened to your face just now that made you so worried?" Chu Sheng finally laughed when he saw her, and asked carefully.

Yu'er remembered what happened to Fang Cai'er, and the smile she had just shown sank again, but she didn't say much in front of the emperor, and she didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng became more and more suspicious, pointing to Jinxin and asking, "Tell me, what's wrong with your little master?" ”

Jinxin hurriedly knelt down, didn't dare to hide anything, and thought that it was not a big deal, so he replied in a low voice: "The slave doesn't know, it's just that the little master has come, and the mother is angry all of a sudden, and she rushed straight out, and the slave and maid really didn't stop it!" ”

Yu'er glanced at her and reprimanded unhappily: "Mouthy, you go out first!" Now he got the order, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

When Chu Sheng heard this, he pondered on the side, and when he saw that there was no one there, he asked Yu'er, "Su'er, what's wrong?" ”

Yu'er turned her head and already looked aggrieved, "It's not a big deal, the emperor still don't ask!" ”

The more she was like this, the more anxious Chu Sheng became, straightened her body, and asked with a hint of anger in her voice, "What the hell is going on?" Can't even I say that?! ”

Seeing him like this, Yu'er knew that the time was almost up, and said in his arms: "Concubine Xian is pregnant, Su'er has visited several times, but Concubine Xian thinks she is afraid of colliding with the child in her belly, and has refused to meet, this is not a big deal, but today the queen asked Su'er to go to Yingyue Palace to send some New Year's gifts, Concubine Xian not only disappeared but also ordered someone to throw it out, and the queen mother reprimanded Su'er for not doing things well after knowing it. Su'er came to me to cry when she was aggrieved for a while. Yu'er said that she thought of her Jing'er in her heart, and now she really had a bit of true feelings, and continued: "In the end, it's still the life of Concubine Xian, if my Jing'er is still ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't say any more, choked up and shrunk herself into a ball.

When Chu Sheng heard her say this, he also changed his face to a relative and hugged her tighter. Ban Yan said in a deep voice: "In the past, I only knew that Concubine Xian was well-behaved, but now that I have a child, I am arrogant. ”

"She is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the people of the Li family naturally have the capital to dominate!" Yu'er's eyes were leisurely, and her voice seemed to come from the sky, but it was as deafening as thunder when it floated into Chu Sheng's ears.

I saw that his body trembled slightly, his face was pale, if Li Xiyue gave birth to a son, he was afraid that the queen mother and the Li family would ...... Although she now has the strength to compete with them, she shouldn't take this risk, but the son in her womb is also her own flesh and blood! Chu Sheng shook his head in embarrassment, put down Yu'er, stood up, and paced to the window.

The snow is still lingering outside the window, and there are still shiny icicles hanging under the eaves, dripping crystal snow drops down, as if someone is crying low with nostalgia. A few plum blossoms bloom alone, adding a touch of beauty to this cold winter. The cold fragrance of plum seems to waft in through the window, and the aroma has a unique chill of winter. Chu Sheng pondered with his eyebrows, unable to think of a reason. Pacing back and forth restlessly, he bumped into Yu'er's forbearant and depressed eyes, and finally escaped from here!

Yu'er saw that the emperor left without saying a word, and showed a determined and cruel smile. Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being the Li family!

Finally, in the harem of the dark tide and the ghosts, the most joyful day of the year, Chinese New Year's Eve!

After the long and complicated etiquette of the previous dynasty ended, Chu Sheng finally came to Fengyang Palace. There, the queen and the concubines have been looking forward to it for a long time. Seeing the emperor coming, everyone's faces were happy. The queen took the lead in kneeling and said festive and auspicious words. Chu Sheng had a warm and steady smile on his face, but when his eyes glanced at Li Xiyue's slightly raised lower abdomen, he still darkened slightly, and all this naturally did not escape Yu'er's eyes.

She asked quietly, "Concubine Xian Niangniang has been pregnant for three or four months, right?" Look at your complexion, you're a little prince! ”

When everyone saw her ask like this, their eyes focused on Li Xiyue. Seeing this, Li Xiyue smiled even more, and replied with a somewhat proud look: "It's almost four months, and the imperial doctor has come to see it before, and he said that Bacheng is a prince!" As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chu Sheng, his eyes were shy and timid, and there was a faint sweetness.

Chu Sheng's heart was cold when he heard her say this, and he couldn't bear to look at her affectionate eyes anymore, so he turned his head and took the concubines to sit down in front of the golden dragon table. A happy family feast began in this joyful scene.

After the family banquet, the queen ordered everyone to go back to the palace to rest, because this year, the state banquet of the new concubine entering the palace will be more heavy and grand than last year, if the emperor is happy, maybe he will also order someone to accompany him to keep the New Year, if he does not rest well, I am afraid that there will be no energy at night.

Yu'er returned to the palace and hurriedly picked up the snacks prepared in the small kitchen, which looked small and exquisite, making people appetizing. In the Queen's Palace just now, everyone only moved a few bites, and who would really go to eat in that atmosphere! Thinking of this, Yu'er asked Jinxin to send someone to call Xu'er, Charlene, and Lingcai. The four of them sat around and joked with snacks.

When the snacks on the table were almost used, several people were also a little sleepy and went back to the room to rest, only Su'er was still sitting there with a sad face. Seeing this, Yu'er knew why she was upset, so she ordered Jinxin to remove the leftover snacks, and let everyone who was waiting for her retreat, so she said lightly: "You already have a way to worry about things, you don't have to worry about food day and night!" Yu'er said, but there was no sense of joy in her heart.

Su'er asked with a look of surprise: "Sister has thought of a way?" Tell me how? ”

Yu'er shook her head and didn't want to say more, seeing her looking at herself with a pisting face, she couldn't help but say, "You just need to tell the queen that the emperor will not let the daughter of the Li family give birth to the prince!" ”

When she heard her say this, she was relieved, and when she saw her sister's face, she knew that she was a little unbearable, so she didn't say anything more and got up to say goodbye.

The state banquet in the evening was indeed luxurious, showing the majesty of the royal family everywhere.

The little masters of the mothers and the princes sat down in order, singing and dancing with silk and bamboo, pushing cups and changing lamps. Chu Sheng is particularly happy today, and he is smiling brightly and kindly at everyone. Especially when looking at Li Xiyue, who was pregnant, her eyes were about to overflow with affection.

Li Xiyue was not shocked, only a sweet smile and sat quietly and dignified in her seat. Seeing this, the Queen Mother finally put her mind at ease, and sure enough, having an heir is different, and the emperor's attitude towards Yue'er is only more gentle than when she first entered the palace. After sitting for a while, he got out of his body and went back to the palace.

After the Queen Mother left, everyone was more comfortable, and they saw that the emperor was in a good mood today. There are those who are bold and come forward to perform all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yu'er remembered that when she first entered the palace, she bounced with Su'er in order to be petted, just like these women who have just entered the palace, eager and timid. Now he has become the executioner, taking the lives of innocent children again and again. Maybe God took back Jing'er as a punishment for himself, and his heart was bitter, so he had to drink all the wine in front of him.

King Jiuye on the other side, his eyes drifted over Yu'er from time to time, and when he saw that her expression was not right today, he just lowered his head and drank alcohol, thinking that Chu Sheng didn't notice her, which made her unhappy. After standing up and toasting the emperor with a glass of wine, Lang Lang said: "I heard the emperor praise the jade concubine for her outstanding dancing posture earlier, but I haven't had the opportunity to take a look. ”

Chu Sheng heard him mention this, and also remembered the way Yu'er's skirt turned and swayed that year. His eyes darkened, and he looked at Yu'er and said with a smile: "I wonder if Concubine Yu can appreciate this face?" ”

Yu'er had already drunk a lot of wine tonight, and was slightly drunk, so she stood up and just wanted to excuse herself. But she bumped into Princess Jiuye looking at her disdainful and resentful eyes, originally Yu'er didn't care about this, but maybe because she drank some wine today, she was a little competitive. She left the table and came to the top of the main hall, her red face was like silk, which made Chu Sheng throb.

I saw her bow and said: "Since the emperor wants to see the concubines dance, the concubines will be ugly on this happy day, and the concubines will go and change their clothes and come back." ”

Chu Sheng nodded, and replied affectionately: "Okay!" I'm waiting for you! ”
