Limbo Palace

Xigong Jue walked in with Ye Anran and slowly knelt down and saluted: "Hello to the emperor, hello to the queen mother, hello to the queen." ”

According to the ancestral teachings, the prince and his family members enter the palace for a banquet, and only ask the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye, after all, there are too many concubines in the palace, and if they salute one by one, they can't do it at all.

"Calm down, come on, give a seat to King Ryan and his wife." After the emperor's order, the little eunuch immediately moved two round cushions, Ye Anran and Xigong Jue sat down one after another, Ye Anran raised his head and saw King Huai opposite, so he smiled, and King Huai also smiled and returned the salute.

Xigong Jue saw it in his eyes, disagreed, and turned his head to the side to gossip with the emperor.

The concubines with relatively high positions in the harem all participated in this family banquet, in addition to the princess Xigongyue, King Huai and King Heng were all present, although it was not a grand banquet, but there was no lack of lively atmosphere.

Concubine Ning is the most eye-catching today, wearing a red brocade robe, as eye-catching as a bride, and her fairy-style bun sets off her beauty at a glance.

"Your Majesty, the concubines want to toast everyone with a glass of wine, thank you for coming to celebrate our emperor, do you think it's okay?" Concubine Ning's delicate opening.

"Of course, I'm fine." For Concubine Ning, the emperor is indeed quite favored, although she is really arrogant and trekking sometimes, but because of his feelings for her, the emperor has not punished her heavily.

Now that she has a good life and is pregnant with a dragon fetus, she has increased a few points in the emperor's heart, and she is almost a figure that no one in the harem can shake.

"But there is no wine in the concubine's wine glass, why don't you ask Liu Jieyu's sister to help the concubine fill it?" Concubine Ning continued to coddle with the emperor with a smile on her face.

The emperor didn't have anything, his face was still very calm, and he looked at Concubine Ning with deep meaning.

But everyone else present understands what's going on, now Concubine Ning is pregnant, although she is favored, she can't sleep, and Ye Zhaoyi turned her face with the emperor because of the case of the new champion a few days ago, Wang Guifei has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, and she doesn't flatter the emperor at all, so the concubine who stays the most in the emperor at present is Liu Jieyu, Liu Jieyu has been in the palace for more than half a year, and her father is Liu Wanli, the head of the Zongren Mansion, although the official position is not high, but the position is somewhat special.

Concubine Ning asked Liu Jieyu to pour wine in person, undoubtedly deliberately embarrassing Liu Jieyu, and also taking the opportunity to hit her morale, and told her euphemistically that although she was now fortunate by the emperor, she was less than one-ten-thousandth of herself.

Ye Anran looked up at Liu Jieyu and found that she was not very old, her appearance was not beautiful, she could only be regarded as a middle-class posture, it seemed that the emperor was fortunate that she was also because of her good luck, but unfortunately, now she was provoked by Concubine Ning.

"Your Majesty ......?" Liu Jieyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she has become more and more arrogant in the past few days after being favored, and she doesn't take Ye Anyao and Wang Yu in her eyes at all, and even asks Queen Shen for peace, she sometimes procrastinates, she thinks that her good days have come, but she didn't expect that Concubine Ning would publicly insult herself today, so she showed resentful eyes for a while, she looked at the emperor, hoping that the emperor could speak for herself.

It's a pity that the emperor turned a blind eye......

At this time, Empress Shen spoke: "Sister Concubine Ning, it's better not to bother Liu Jieyu for this kind of trivial matter of pouring wine, just ask the palace maid to do it." ”

Concubine Ning picked up a handkerchief to hide her face and chuckled: "Sister Queen doesn't know, after the concubine now has a dragon fetus, the imperial doctor said try not to be contaminated with the vulgarity of the subordinate, how can the eunuch palace maid have the noble status of Liu Jieyu's sister?" So for the sake of the concubine's children, I'm afraid that Liu Jieyu's sister will really be wronged this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Concubine Ning was simply a strong word, and this excuse was too far-fetched, and she was afraid of being contaminated with vulgarity by her subordinates, so wouldn't she Lingbo Palace have no subordinates, but she was determined to embarrass Liu Jieyu today.

Empress Shen glanced at Liu Jieyu sympathetically, meaning that the palace has already helped you, but helplessly, Concubine Ning is too stubborn.

At this time, Liu Jieyu still wanted to say something, but she heard the emperor say: "Qian'er, come and pour the bar." ”

Qian'er is Liu Jieyu's name, Liu Jieyu's real name is Liu Qian'er, now even the emperor has spoken, everyone knows that this time Concubine Ning won, and she won very thoroughly.

Liu Jieyu got up with tears in her eyes, walked over slowly, filled the wine glass for the emperor and Concubine Ning, and just wanted to get up, but unexpectedly, Concubine Ning's body shook, and a glass of wine suddenly spilled on Liu Jieyu's body.

"Oh, how is this good, just now the emperor kicked the concubine in the stomach, the concubine panicked and spilled all the wine, Sister Liu Jieyu, you have to pour it again." Concubine Ning looked at Liu Jieyu with a smile and said.

Liu Jieyu swallowed her anger, picked up the wine glass, and filled the wine for Concubine Ning again before leaving...... Everyone saw it clearly, and even Ye Anran couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Liu Jieyu.

Ye Anyao didn't say anything, just sneered, and thought, Ning Lingshan, you just continue to pretend, the child is less than three months old, how can he kick you, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open? But there is no way, who called the family is now a hero, a hero of the West Palace royal family.

The Queen Mother cleared her throat and said: "It's a happy event that Concubine Ning is pregnant, now that the emperor is young and has no heirs, you all have to work hard, the queen, especially you, as the mother of the country, must add more heirs to the royal family, you know?" ”

"The concubines obey the decree of the Queen Mother." Empress Shen said in a low voice.

At this time, Empress Shen's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Ye Anran and said: "Princess Ruian's clothes are so beautiful, this style seems to be a new style, this palace is the first time I have seen it, where is it cut, can I tell this palace?" ”

Queen Shen's words pulled everyone's attention back from Concubine Ning and fell on Ye Anran, who was dressed in green and mink.

Ye Anran immediately got up and replied: "If you go back to the queen's mother, this dress was remade by the concubine herself, and the concubine is not talented, so she took the liberty to change the style of the clothes, and asked the mother to punish her." ”

"Hmph, all the clothes styles of the Royal Family of the West Palace are left by the ancestors, Princess Ruian, you are indeed guilty of reforming the system privately." Because Concubine Ning didn't like Ye Anyao, she also hated Ye Anran very much, and when she saw that there was an opportunity, she immediately began to attack.

Unexpectedly, Queen Shen chuckled: "Sister Concubine Ning is serious, although the ancestors left us a traditional style, but it can't stop ingenuity, clothes are worn for the sake of looking good, so Princess Ruian's ingenious restructuring, as long as it is good-looking, why can't we follow suit, do you say?" Queen mother? ”

Empress Shen was very smart and threw her words to the Queen Mother, Empress Dowager He looked at it and nodded: "Well, what the Queen said is right, we respect the ancestral system, but we also encourage the emergence of new tricks. ”

"Thank you for the praise of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the courtiers are terrified." Ye Anran has always been a little uneasy in her heart, she doesn't want to be praised, she just wants not to cause trouble.
