Chapter 62: The Chinese New Year's Eve Feast
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really an eye-opener for me!" Dong Qilin smiled and cheered, but only he knew whether what he said was true or not.
"Since the emperor has opened his eyes, I don't know what reward the emperor is going to give?" Of course, Pear Ling will not give up such an opportunity to speak.
"Recently, the southern kingdom has paid tribute to a good pearl, I don't know if Concubine Ai thinks such a reward is good?" Dong Qilin asked the pear directly, as if the person who received the reward was the pear ling.
"This emperor has to ask the sister who you think is the most eye-opening for you, I don't know which sister is so lucky?" To say this is to acknowledge that this reward is excellent.
"Xue Baolin." Dong Qilin swept the expectant eyes of the concubines below, and said three words.
Li Ling was stunned for a moment, this Xue Baolin, she didn't seem to know.
Looking at other people, it seems that very few concubines know this Xue Baolin, and the performance just now doesn't seem to be outstanding, I don't know why the emperor would reward her.
"Sister Xue is still stunned for what to do, don't thank you soon." Although Li Ling didn't know Xue Baolin, when she saw that no one spoke, she opened her mouth to remind.
"The concubine thanked the emperor for the reward." Xue Baolin walked to the middle of the main hall, thanked Dong Qilin for his reward, and then smiled kindly at the pear ling.
Rika smiled back.
"Your Majesty, on such a festive day, the emperor is such a reward, it's too stingy." Concubine Yao De continued to propose.
"What reward do you want?"
Li Ling looked at Concubine De, a little surprised, when she first entered the palace, Concubine De was very afraid of the emperor, but now, she dared to joke about the emperor, and the changes were not small.
"It's not that the concubines want to reward, so many sisters below are looking at it, and the emperor can't bear to let them return disappointed on this Chinese New Year's Eve?" Concubine De is pregnant, so she looks very kind.
But Li Ling sneered, what did Concubine De want to do?
"What reward do you think I should give?" Dong Qilin said to Concubine De with a smile.
"Sister Xiuyi has been very tired from managing the affairs of the palace recently, and the emperor thinks that there should be something to be rewarded?" Concubine De looked at the emperor with a smile.
Li Ling was stunned in her heart, Concubine De is going to win over Li Xiuyi, and by the way, you can also show these concubines, it is very beneficial to take refuge in Concubine De, why didn't she find out that Concubine De still has such scheming before? In vain, she always thought that Concubine De was a good one.
"Li Xiuyi has really worked hard recently." The emperor nodded, "Let's be promoted to Zhaoyuan." ”
"Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." Li Xiuyi, no, it's Li Zhaoyuan now, she didn't show any special happiness, she just accepted Zhaoyuan's position very plainly.
But Li Ling's heart was tight, Li Zhaoyuan's promotion to the throne was due to Concubine Yao De, I don't know, did Li Zhaoyuan thank Concubine De for this and use it for her?
"Emperor, Wang Jieyu has just been raised after giving birth and has just come to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor is considerate and considerate of Wang Jieyu, and give some rewards." Li Ling also smiled and came up, since Concubine De can do things to win over, then she can also do it.
"Concubine Ai has worked hard." The emperor said this to Wang Cheng and Wang Jieyu.
Wang Cheng Wang Jieyu also knew how to seize the opportunity, and shook her head at the emperor with tears at the moment: "The concubine is not hard, but she failed to conceive an heir for the emperor, and the concubine is ashamed." ”
"Jieyu Wang's family, let's be promoted to Chongyuan." Dong Qilin thought about it and said, on the one hand, it was indeed because he felt a little guilty about Wang Cheng, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as giving Concubine Xi a face.
"Concubine Xie Zhu Longen." Wang Cheng responded with great joy.
Li Ling looked at Concubine De, and Concubine De's face immediately changed.
Smart people have seen some doorways from this, Concubine De and Concubine Xi are the two highest in the harem, and the concubines recommended by both of her have been promoted to the throne, which is the emperor's way of balance, Concubine De already has a princess, and now she is pregnant, and she has deep qualifications in the harem, and she is very likely to ascend to the throne, and Concubine Xi is very favored by the emperor, and these two people are faintly in the harem.
However, the two have never had any conflict, I heard that Concubine De and Concubine Xi have a good relationship, and Concubine Xi often walks around Concubine De's palace, and for a while, I don't understand whether the two are friends or enemies.
Later, the emperor also rewarded some concubines, all of whom were only promoted to the positions of Li Huiqin and Wang Cheng.
The Chinese New Year's Eve feast ended in a hurry.
The emperor finally rested in the Moshang Palace, which made everyone in the harem envious and jealous, to be able to keep the New Year with the emperor, only the queen could, and now that Concubine Xi has this honor, how can people not speculate.
"Why did the emperor come to Moshang Palace?" Ri Ling asked as she removed her cloak for Dong Qilin.
"You don't want me to come?" Dong Qilin frowned.
"The concubines can't look forward to coming to the emperor, how can they not want the emperor to come up, it's just that Concubine De is pregnant now, and it is very hard, and the emperor should remove it." Pear Ling said gently.
"It's okay, Concubine De has given birth to a child and has experience, and this baby is very stable, so it's okay if I don't go." Dong Qilin took the pear into his arms.
"Your Majesty! So many minions watching! Pear Ling was a little embarrassed and pushed the East Prayer.
Seeing this, Zhihe, Li Decheng and others went out of the house and covered the door.
"There's no one now, right?" Dong Qilin looked at the embarrassed appearance of the pear for a long time, and thought it was very interesting.
"Your Majesty!" Pear bit her lip and buried her head in Dong Qilin's arms.
"I've been in the palace for so long, why is it still like when I first entered the palace?" Dong Qilin patted Liling's shoulder, for him, he and Liling are also considered "old husbands and wives", why is Liling still so shy?
"Yes, after entering the palace for so long, the number of times the concubines have seen the emperor is only a handful." Li Ling raised her head and looked at Dong Qilin, her eyes full of grievances.
"But what's wrong?" Dong Qilin sighed a little emotionally for a while, this year, he did snub Liling for a long time.
"That's not true, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and if he can treat his concubines like this, the concubines are already very satisfied." Pear said these words half-truthfully.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." As he spoke, Dong Qilin hugged the pear even tighter.
"The emperor is like this, the concubine is really ......," said Liling's tears flowed down.
"What are you crying about?" Dong Qilin raised his hand to wipe the tears from Liling's face.
"The concubine is happy." Li Ling also hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears.
"Rest." Dong Qilin sighed and walked towards the bed with the pear in his arms.
Li Ling lowered her eyes and let Dong Qilin lead her to the bed, if she had been so assured by Dong Qilin before, then she might really be moved to tears, but now, although she also cried, only she knew why she cried.
