Soon it was December, in the middle of winter, there were not many people walking around in the palace, except for those palace maids and eunuchs on duty, the rest naturally stayed in their bedrooms in a regular manner.

However, although it is such a cold winter, the competition for favor in the palace is becoming more and more intense, of course, mainly because the high-ranking concubines are either grounded, or they have only been promoted to children, or they are pregnant, so the competition for favor are all concubines of some status.

During this time, the most favored in the harem were Jin Chongyi and Song Chongrong, and then Rong Xiurong, but there was also a more favored Xiao Cainu Xiao Liwei of Zhuyixuan in Baihua Palace.

It's been seven or eight months since she entered the palace, Xiao Cainu is not eye-catching at all, although she looks good, but she has been sick for three days and a major illness for five days, and it is estimated that she has not even seen the emperor's face a few times, but I don't know how she has attracted the emperor recently.

Just when Zhihe hesitated whether to tell Li Ling about this, it was rumored that Xiao Cairen had been promoted to a beauty, and in less than a month, he was promoted from the ninth grade to the fifth grade, and this kind of promotion speed has not been seen in the harem for two years.

It is precisely because the speed of this Xiao Meiren's promotion to the throne is too fast, and the limelight completely overshadows the previously favored Jin Chongyi, Song Chongrong and others, so after Zhihe and Lian Yu discussed, they decided not to tell Li Ling about it, after all, the miscarriage of Yimei before made the master uncomfortable for a while, and now the emperor spoils this Xiao Meiren so much after Niangniang is pregnant, if Niangniang knows, it will definitely affect Niangniang's fetus, so Zhihe and Lian Yu instructed everyone not to chew their tongues in front of Liling, otherwise they will be beaten to death.

Because of this, Liling has been raising the baby with peace of mind, and she has no idea about the emperor's recent favor Xiao Meiren Xiao Liwei.

Lixiang Palace

The eldest princess looked at the thin hand that was holding her tightly, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, and Concubine An's hand was panicked, but she didn't dare to say it to Concubine An.

In the past two years, Concubine An's temperament has become worse and worse, even if she is her own daughter, she doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of her.

"Is that Xiao Meiren really so powerful? In less than a month, he was promoted to four positions in a row? There was a glimmer of light in Concubine An's eyes, as if a foraging wolf had smelled food.

The eldest princess nodded, "But my daughter hasn't seen that Xiao Meiren yet." ”

"Find a chance, take a good look, it's best to find a painter to draw her appearance and show it to Hongu!" Concubine An Guifei excitedly took the eldest princess's hand, and let her see that the food was in front of her.

"Mother, that Xiao Meiren ......" The eldest princess frowned, could it be that Xiao Meiren was the person that the mother said before?

"Di'er, you have to get along with this Xiao Meiren and have a good relationship, maybe she can help the concubine get out of this Lixiang Palace!" An Guifei had a strange smile on her face.

"My daughter knows." The eldest princess nodded, although she didn't know why, but she didn't dare to ask An Guifei, because what An Guifei hated most was the way she looked full of questions, and not only could she not get an answer when she asked, but she would also be scolded.

Concubine An patted the eldest princess's hand with satisfaction.

In mid-December, Wei Yu, the Wei beauty of the Amber Palace Pavilion, found out that she was pregnant and was promoted to Jieyu.

Zhihe felt that there was no need to hide this, and Wei Jieyu still had some relationship with the concubine, so Zhihe immediately told Liling.

Li Ling didn't say anything, only asked people to give gifts, and then asked people to pay close attention to the Wei family and the Wei State Mansion to see if they would have any other ideas because Wei Jieyu was pregnant, so there is, then this Wei State Mansion cannot be approached in the future.

"Niangniang, I heard that Jin Chongyi and Song Chongrong have not dealt with each other a little recently......" Accompanying Li Ling to chat in the warm pavilion, Zhihe and Lian Yu talked to Li Ling about these things in the palace.

"It's Song Chongrong who is in trouble with Jin Chongyi, right?" Li Ling smiled, with a character like Jin Chongyi, she would not take the initiative to trouble Song Chongrong, she would only wait for an opportunity in the dark and kill people invisibly.

"That's right, I don't know why, Song Chongrong seems to have a grudge against Jin Chongyi, even the palace maid who Jin Chongyi taught her, Song Chongrong has to say that Jin Chongyi cares about people's lives." Lian Yu nodded.

Pear Ling smiled slightly, why? It must be because Song Chongrong knows something, for example, some things about her miscarriage, it seems that Jing Chongyuan is going to take action.

"That's right, Niangniang, after Yimeiren's miscarriage, the Queen Mother wanted to take the second prince to Zhengde Palace, Jia Zhaoyi didn't want to, and now the Queen Mother and Jia Zhaoyi are making trouble!" Edari said something else.

"Don't worry, this time the emperor won't let the queen mother carry the second prince to Zhengde Palace again!" The second prince is also the emperor's son, since they have all been taken out of Zhengde Palace, the emperor will let the queen mother take it back, is it possible that he really wants to give up this son?

"Then do you want the slave to go and talk to Jia Zhaoyi?" Lian Yu said kindly.

Li Ling shook her head, this is all her speculation, in case she goes to tell Jia Zhaoyi, and the emperor asks the queen mother to take away the second prince, then Jia Zhaoyi will definitely complain about her, more is better than less.

"Has the day of Fu Zhaorong's grounding arrived?" Li Ling didn't say anything about Jia Zhaoyi anymore.

The topic of Liling changed quickly, so Lian Yu and Zhihe were stunned for a while, and then nodded, Fu Zhaorong's three-month ban had been withdrawn a few days ago.

"The fourth prince has been born for more than three months!" The fourth prince is the son of Concubine Ye Lingshu.

Zhihe and Lian Yu are a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the pear ling, here and there for a while, but the two of them still nodded to the question of the pear ling, the fourth prince was born in the third child in early September, isn't it more than three months!

"Then it is estimated that the vitality of this good concubine is almost raised, since Fu Zhaorong's grounding has also been removed, then the two of them can't find something to do?" Li Ling glanced at Zhihe and Lianyu with a smile.

"Niangniang means ......" Zhihe's eyes lit up, and she knew that her master would not care about Concubine Liang and Fu Zhaorong for no reason.

"This person who has nothing to do likes to toss, and it's okay to toss others, but it's not good if he tosses to this palace." Li Ling smiled, "Find something to do for the two of them, Fu Zhaorong is not jealous of Concubine Liang for a day or two, just let the two of them pinch each other!" ”

Although Concubine Liang is smart, she can't stand Fu Zhaorong being stupid, if Fu Zhaorong bites tightly, then Concubine Liang can't stay out of it.

Because of the pear ling's decree not to let the concubines ask for peace, the emperor also ordered that the idle people should not disturb the concubine's fetus, so this whole December, the pear girl was also comfortable.

The favored concubines said goodbye to each other, and the high-ranking concubines and Fu Zhaorong also looked at each other unpleasantly, so during this time, no one went to find trouble with the pear ling.

Not long after, it was the last day of the seventh year of the scale, Chinese New Year's Eve.
