The emperor announced in court that he would canonize Concubine Dong E as the imperial concubine, which was no joke.

In the Ming Dynasty, except for a few particularly favored concubines who were canonized as imperial concubines, most of them were to prepare for the seal.

How many years have passed since the Ming Dynasty, and the events of that time are still circulating among the common people.

And the current emperor, who abolished the queen two years after the wedding, this time the virtuous concubine entered the palace for only one month, that is, the canonization of the imperial concubine, everyone thinks that the emperor is preparing for the future seal.

In Kunning Palace, the new queen sat under the open window in a daze, and Yuan Xi, who had recovered from her illness, came to ask the queen to thank her, she smiled faintly and asked Yuan Xi to get up.

The palace maids came to serve tea, and the queen's people were familiar with Yuan Xi, and they also knew that Concubine Tong had always helped the queen, so they asked Yuan Xi: "Master Tong knows, the emperor wants to canonize Chengqian Palace as the imperial concubine?" ”

Yuan Xi bowed his head and took the tea, and the queen pushed them and said, "Go down, don't talk too much, tell them not to talk too much." ”

The palace maids pursed their lips, but they were also dissatisfied with the queen's weakness, but they really couldn't do it.

"Actually...... It was the queen mother who asked her concubines to pass a message to her mother, please rest assured that no one will shake your queen's position. Yuan Xi held the tea and said respectfully, "The concubine will also be wholeheartedly guarding the mother." ”

The queen had tears in her eyes and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I thought about it on the way to Beijing, but I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be abolished, my aunt is so beautiful, she can't keep the emperor's heart, I look so mediocre, what qualifications do I have." If he wants to depose me, I have nothing else to ask for, but hope that the emperor can send me back to Horqin, and outsiders will say that I am dead. ”

Yuan Xi put down the teacup, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, don't think so, there is still the Queen Mother." What's more, Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing are your sisters and nieces, and they still need you to protect them. ”

The queen shook her head: "I can't even protect myself, how can I protect them." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Niangniang, don't you believe the Queen Mother? ”

The queen pursed her lips, tears rolled down tremblingly, and after she wiped it off with a silk handkerchief, she said in a hoarse voice: "When the time comes, one will abolish me, and the other will protect me, and the mother and son will fall apart, and I will be deeply guilty." ”

Saying this, Yuan Xi's heart was also half cold, she didn't know if there would be such a day, and when the time came, how should she and her Xuanye deal with themselves?

No matter what, after coaxing the queen to calm down, Yuan Xi's throat was dry, and he just wanted to go back to Jingren Palace and drink water without scruples.

Farewell to the queen, came out of the side door of Kunning Palace, and saw that the eunuch palace maid was sending things to Chengqian Palace, I don't know what the emperor rewarded, according to Xiaoquanzi, this scene can be seen almost every day in Chengqian Palace.

When she went back with her own people, she was about to walk to the gate of Jingren Palace, and suddenly heard the emperor's voice and shouted to her from behind: "Yuan Xi." ”

Yuan Xi's heart trembled, adjusted his emotions, turned around, and looked at the emperor with a smile.

Fu Lin strode towards her, looked the person in front of him up and down, and said, "This time I have suffered a lot, and I have lost a lot of weight. ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "After this winter, I eat shabu every day, and I am not afraid of getting fat." ”

Fu Lin said: "It's okay to be poor in your mouth, your body is not allowed to mess around, yesterday North Korea sent some wild ginseng, they boasted that it was excellent, I asked them to bring some to you, make tea and drink." ”

Yuan Xi said disappreciatively: "Isn't our ginseng in the Northeast stronger than them?" Concubines are not rare, and the emperor should keep them and send others. ”

Fu Lin said angrily: "It's really not easy to take a few good things to show off in front of your eyes, Tong Tulai can't wait to move all the gold and silver mountains of the Tong family to you." ”

Yuan Xi, as in the past, laughed and cheerful, not mentioning the misunderstanding and grievances of watching the drama for three days, and not mentioning the hardships of more than half a month of couch recuperation.

Just as she didn't see the emperor that night, she didn't want the emperor's charity, and she didn't want the emperor to feel pitiful, she continued to play her "favorite concubine" well, so that the emperor felt at ease and comfortable, so as to keep her status and weight.

In Fulin's eyes, Yuan Xi loves to wear bright and bright clothes, which is plain and elegant with Chengqian Palace, as if the difference between ice and fire. What makes him even more gratified is that there is no one who is more sensible than Yuan Xi, and it makes him feel more comfortable.

Naturally, there is guilt as well.

At this moment, Yuan Xi smiled and asked for a decree, saying that he wanted to see his brother, and Fu Lin agreed: "You don't have to ask me in the future, let them enter the palace generously, if you think it's inappropriate, go and talk to the queen." ”

Yuan Xi thanked him, and glanced at the place where the emperor had just come, those people did not follow, they were still waiting there, it was obvious that the emperor was going to the back.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother ordered her concubines to go back to Jingren Palace to rest in Zhongjue, saying that they would take it easy for another month, and the emperor, the concubines would not leave you to drink tea." Yuan Xi smiled and took two steps back, deliberately making a provocative gesture, "Your Majesty, hurry up." ”

Fu Lin glanced at her, but he knew in his heart that Yuan Xi was smart.

He never disliked Yuan Xi's cleverness, just as he didn't hate Meng Guqing's shrewdness, but Meng Guqing's shrewdness forced their relationship into a dead end, and Yuan Xi always held him.

He will also worry that one day, Yuan Xi will no longer want to hold him, it must not be Yuan Xi's fault, but that he is not good.

Fu Lin went straight to the door, Yuan Xi hurriedly chased after him, and looked at the emperor with a frown and dissatisfaction, but Fu Lin smiled: "Don't be angry with me, Yuan Xi, don't be angry with me." ”

In a strong heart, there will always be softness, not to mention that Yuan Xi let go of her infatuation with the emperor's favor and feelings, and she did not let go of Fulin.

She couldn't help but have slightly red circles in her eyes, Fu Lin took her into the door, avoided the gaze of the palace maid and eunuch, hugged the person in her arms, and gently stroked her back.

"It's all bad for me, wronged you and misunderstood you, and used you to be angry." Fu Lin said, "Yuan Xi, don't be angry, okay?" ”

However, it was too late, such a embrace, such coaxing words, and even this feeling, Yuan Xi felt that he couldn't afford it.

She can pretend to be very moved, but she can't deceive herself, keep the last bit of kindness, and do what a "favorite concubine" should be, so as to truly ensure that she and the emperor will "last a long time".

"Then I'll fall asleep, and the emperor will leave." Yuan Xi still had tears in the corners of his eyes, the tip of his nose was red, and his soft voice was pitiful, "When the concubine has regained her spirit and physical strength, I will serve you." ”

Fu Lin agreed, holding her cheek and saying, "I bullied you." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head with a smile, twisted a little, and buried his face in front of the emperor's chest: "That's not everyone, you can be bullied." ”

In the Chengqian Palace, Jia Yin came back first, Fu Lin originally said that she was going to come to eat together, she changed her clothes and ordered Zhang Luo, but soon heard Wu Liangfu's little apprentice come to tell him, saying that the emperor was sitting in Jingren Palace for a while, and he didn't know when he came.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to her: "The slave is worried, if the emperor really makes Concubine Tong fall out of favor, if Concubine Tong is jealous and hateful, will she deal with us." Concubine Tong is such a shrewd and intelligent person, we can't deal with it. ”

Jia Yin said angrily: "How can you think like this, don't allow it anymore, even if you suspect other people, you shouldn't doubt Yuan Xi." ”
