The lotus concubine has only been in the palace for a long time, and her family background is not obvious, just because she was born extraordinarily enchanting, and there are some market spirits that other palace concubines do not have, so the emperor feels fresh, and she has been very favored recently. Relying on this favor, Concubine Lian is very arrogant in the palace, not only the low-grade palace concubines are angry in front of her, but there are several concubines who are higher than her, but have lost the emperor's favor, and they have also been bullied by Concubine Lian.

Empress Shen is in charge of the harem, so she naturally knows this. It's just that none of the concubines in the harem are fuel-efficient lamps. There are those who are favored, and it is inevitable that there will be some careful thoughts. Especially Concubine Li, who has children under her knees, is a thorn in the queen's eyes. With a fool like Concubine Lian to be the first bird, Queen Shen only turned a blind eye. Second, Empress Shen knows that she is not young now, and the emperor respects her more than her pets. In this case, she only regards it as her middle palace, as long as her position is stable, her son will be the prince in the future. It is better for the emperor to favor the lotus concubines from humble backgrounds than to the concubines with prominent families.

Therefore, when she heard that Concubine Lian dared to provoke Concubine Li today, she didn't stop it, she just pretended not to hear it, and whispered to the emperor to laugh.

It's just that Concubine Li is easy to mess with?

She was born in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and her family was also a noble of the Dafeng Dynasty. It's only a little declining in recent years, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the intertwined connections are still there, and the power should not be underestimated. Moreover, she has been standing tall in the palace for nearly 20 years, so she naturally has some scheming methods, how can she be compared to a shallow foundation like Concubine Lian?

At that moment, with just one sentence, the ridicule of Concubine Lian was gently brushed away.

The beautiful eyes are sparkling, and the red gems in the hair are shining in the Chonghua Pavilion that is as bright as day, which only makes Concubine Lian look both red and jealous.

"It's no wonder that Sister Lian didn't have much time to worship the Buddha in the past, how can she know this." Concubine Li smiled brightly, picked up the wine cup in front of her and called the emperor, and only said playfully, "The concubine wants to say something for Sister Lian, where can she ignore the Bodhisattva just to serve the emperor." Your Majesty, the concubine wants to punish you with a cup! ”

The reason why she has been favored for many years is because of her glamorous and unparalleled appearance, and on the other hand, it is the flamboyant personality in that love that the emperor likes.

Listening to her words, the emperor was not angry, but smiled and said: "What the concubine said is reasonable, I will drink this cup of wine." ”

I actually picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Concubine Li smiled, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of grace.

The emperor smiled and said to the empress: "The concubine has become more and more like a child recently. ”

"That's the benefit of Sister Li." Although Empress Shen didn't have much hope for the emperor's favor, when she saw that the emperor praised Concubine Li on such an occasion, she couldn't help but hate it in her heart, and pinched her palm to keep her smile, "The seventh child is about to marry a wife, and my sister is still innocent." ”

In the end, I didn't even feel a little sour.

The emperor didn't think it was upset, and laughed.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Lian bit her lip, unwilling to be ignored, and said coquettishly, "The concubine also respects you." ”

The emperor picked up the wine glass, a little smoky, and raised his eyes to see the Gu mother and daughter who were still standing with their heads hanging down. But seeing that the girl was only a teenager, although she looked down a little unreally, and was wearing a winter coat, she was not bloated. The gorgeous cloud brocade clothes lined her slender figure, with thick hair, a flying fairy bun, and only pearls between the hair, which were moist and shiny.

He had already seen Ling Miao's appearance clearly, especially the cinnabar on her forehead. Just as she was about to ask her to raise her head again, she felt that her hands were warm, and Empress Shen covered his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, Mrs. Ling, Miss Ling is still standing below, do you want to tell them to go back first?" ”

The emperor came back to his senses, and it was difficult to refute the queen's words, so he nodded.

Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Ling Miao and returned to his seat.

It's just that this time the mask is confused, why did the emperor and queen call the mother and daughter to the front, Gu really couldn't figure it out.

There was something in his heart, and the Gu family was in a bit of a trance in the second half of the palace banquet, and only returned to the Hou Mansion with this question.

The next day, there were rewards from Empress Shen, Concubine Li and others, and even those of Concubine Lian, all of whom were named to Ling Miao. This made Gu even more uneasy.

"If you give it to me, it's time for me to get rich."

Ling Miao pulled those rewards, Li Guifei's is the most valuable, two sets of heads, one set of red gold and emerald, one set of beads and inlaid treasures, and a box of rubies that have not yet been inlaid, when the box is opened, it shines brightly, and the color is excellent. Queen Shen is decent, the palace-made Shu satin brocade cloud brocade feather yarn, all colors are twelve, and there are some gadgets that girls like. As for Concubine Lian, naturally she can't compare to the queen concubine, and Ling Miao doesn't care about it.

Others are okay, but Ling Yan's eyes turned red when she saw these benefits, and she only cried at Old Han's place: "They all go to the palace the same, why does she get so many good things, and I don't have any of them?" Spreading it out, doesn't it make people think that I am disgusted by the emperor and the queen? How can I meet people? ”

Old Han was also very dissatisfied.

Those good things, she had never seen before. If Ling Miao had a heart, she shouldn't have eaten alone, no matter what, in her grandmother, she should also show filial piety. Unexpectedly, most of the day passed, and there was no movement from Gu Ling Miao, and it was obvious that those rewards were not ready to be taken out.

"Good boy, don't cry." Old Han comforted Ling Yan absentmindedly, "Your cry makes my grandmother feel uncomfortable!" ”

"Grandmother!" Ling Yan threw herself into the arms of the old Han clan and coquettishly, "Grandmother is the master for me!" ”

Old Han sighed: "Now your second sister, where is I still in your eyes?" ”

As he spoke, his voice choked up, "I have been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and I have worked hard for nothing more than for the good of the mansion." Hello guys, I just closed my eyes, and I'm relieved. It's just that...... Now your aunt and uncle, alas! ”

Another long sigh.

Han Liniang on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Aunt don't be sad, my cousin still respects you very much." ”

Speaking of his son, Old Han's face finally got better. "Besides, even if Sister Miao is a little more domineering, how many years can she still be in the mansion? Seeing that it is about to be completed, he will be out of the cabinet soon. Auntie, be forgiving. ”

At the mention of this, Old Han's face looked better. Some words didn't want others to hear, so he only comforted Ling Yan with a few kind words, and then sent her away. As soon as Ling Yan left, Old Han asked Han Liniang, "The people who asked you to prepare, are they all ready?" ”

"Auntie, don't worry." Han Liniang's eyes flashed a little fiercely, and in an instant, she turned into a gentle and delicate appearance, and only said in a soft voice, "Although Han Wu's child is older, it's okay to do this, it will hurt people in the end." Sister Miao'er's child, if her family background is good and her age is matched, I am afraid that her temperament will not be tolerated. We all have good intentions. ”

Old Han sneered: "From the moment the Gu family's poisonous woman entered the door, she made me unhappy in every way. Ling Miao also followed her at a young age, domineering and domineering! That's it, in the future, I will ask her to marry Han Wu, and let Gu Shi taste the taste of frying and roasting in his heart. ”

Han Liniang slapped her shoulders for her and smiled softly.

In this mansion, as long as Ling Miao is here, her Rong Rong will never have a bright future. And Ling Miao's girl doesn't know what kind of way she can do now, and a pair of eyes can see through people's hearts, which makes her feel panicked. Several temptations were resolved by Ling Miao. There is a day for Ling Miao, but I am afraid that her wish will not be fulfilled one day. Therefore, whether it was for her daughter or for herself, Han Liniang had no choice but to give Ling Miao a "good husband".

In the blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

On this day, from the evening, the lights in the capital are like day, and the people are like dragons, which is very lively.

Chu Xuanhua and Cen Yuan had already asked Ling Miao to go out to visit the Lantern Festival, and the Gu family was worried about their daughter, so they asked Ling Su to follow. Chu Xuanhua also had Chu Zixi by her side to protect her, but Cen Yuan brought out a younger brother who was twelve or thirteen years old. The child's name is Cen Lang, a very elegant name, and he is a tiger-headed, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is taller than his sister Cen Yuan.

The group walked and stopped on the street, or guessed a lantern riddle, or bought a lantern, and the three girls were very happy.

"It's rare for your sister to be so happy." Chu Zixi walked behind Ling Miao and the others with his hands in his hands, looked at Ling Miao's slender figure wrapped in a fiery red fox fur cloak, and smiled at Ling Su next to him.

Ling Su's gaze sank. My sister is only a teenager, and she should be happy at the age, but because of the chaos at home, she often shows a depressed color. He studied in the academy, and although he knew the situation of his mother and sister in the past few years, he rarely could do anything, and his sister protected his mother like a little hedgehog. This is called him, the elder brother, who is very embarrassed.

Just as he was in the dreary, he heard a delicate voice coming, "Second brother, it's a coincidence." ”

When I looked up, it turned out to be Chu Lanhua, the concubine of the second room of the Duke of Chu.

Chu Lanhua wore a cloak with a goose-yellow background and snow-white fox fur, and the whole person looked delicate and gentle, with a glow on his face and a light in his eyes that could not be ignored.

Beside her, there was also a young man in brocade clothes with a long body. This young man is handsome and noble. It's just that if you look closely, you can find that there is a shallow scar on his heavenly face. It was the Seventh Prince, Xiao Qian.

Chu Lanhua walked quickly to Chu Xuanhua and raised the lotus lantern in his hand, "Sister, look, this is the lantern given to me by His Royal Highness the Seventh, is it good-looking?" ”

She seemed a little shy and timid on her face, but there was a show-off in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

After all, it was given by the prince!

Chu Zixi also knew that his second uncle intended to let Chu Lanhua marry Xiao Qian, but he scoffed. A person like Xiao Qian is just a hypocrite. If he wants to marry a concubine, he must consider his status and status, Chu Lanhua, a girl from the side branch of the Guogong Mansion, wants to be a concubine for him, I am afraid that it is wishful thinking.

"It's just an ordinary lamp, and it's worth showing off like this?"

A few more figures walked to Chu Zixi and the others, the first one, with a face that bullied ice and snow, and his eyebrows were tactful and picturesque, if he was born in a woman, he would definitely be a country and a city. However, this person's jade-white face still seemed to have a sea of blood, which made people can't help but feel cold on their bodies, and they have the urge to retreat.

"I've seen the county king."

Chu Zixi smiled, it was none other than the second son of King Rong's mansion, the newly promoted King of Yijun, Xiao Li.
