Li Yuqi said: "The concubines still envy the queen, and the queen's meal is praised by the emperor." The concubine just ate the meal that the queen said, and the concubine's body was really much better than before. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "It's good that the meal is useful for Concubine Li." However, Concubine Li is exaggerating, no matter how good the food in the palace is, the emperor is not the meal in the imperial dining room. Like Concubine Li's dancing skills and Concubine Zhuang's piano skills, they are really useful, and they can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere. ”

Zhang Mengjie's self-deprecation and praise for her made Li Yuqi feel a lot more comfortable: "The concubine wants to dance for the emperor and sisters at tonight's family banquet, I don't know if the emperor will agree?" ”

"How many people are overwhelmed by the dance of the concubine, how can the concubine volunteer to dance for tonight's family banquet." Long Tingxiao, dressed in bright yellow clothes, walked towards everyone.

"Your Majesty!" Hearing that Long Tingxiao did not object to Li Yuqi's special relief, everyone stood up to greet each other.

"The concubines don't have to be polite, the meal will be good immediately, and the concubines will sit first." Long Tingxiao said.

With the arrival of Long Tingxiao, the concubines who were originally sitting casually became disciplined and adjusted their positions. Murong Xue didn't come, and it was obvious who the two positions in the middle were left for. Long Tingxiao walked to the position on the left without hesitation, and after Zhang Mengjie sat down in the position on the right, she was a little nervous for some reason.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the meal in the imperial dining room arrived, and Li Yuqi changed into a green dance dress and prepared to dance halfway through the banquet. This time, Zhuang Xinyan was a little unwell, so she was accompanied by a musician in the palace.

Li Yuqi, who was ready, just wanted to signal that the musician could start, when a eunuch came over and whispered in Long Tingxiao's ear for a while, and Long Tingxiao got up and hurried away.

The sudden change made Li Yuqi on the stage particularly conspicuous, and it also made the scene embarrassing.

Zhang Mengjie said: "Seeing that the emperor is in such a hurry, there must be something important for him to deal with, the emperor will always have time to watch Concubine Li dance, how about Concubine Li dance to the sisters today?" ”

Li Yuqi on the stage looked gloomy and did not respond.

"Sister Li's dance is dedicated to the emperor, how can the concubines have this blessing. It's strange how the unprovoked concubines feel so cold! It's better to hide under the covers earlier. Zhao Meiren got up and left after speaking.

Zhao Meiren's behavior of not giving any face made Li Yuqi unable to come to the stage for a while.

Zhang Mengjie said: "Zhao Meiren reminded the palace, and Concubine Li still changed this dance dress first. It's okay, don't get frozen here, let's disperse! ”

When Long Tingxiao is not there, the warblers and swallows always disperse quickly.

Zhang Mengjie and Zhuang Xinyan walked on the road with Li Yuqi, who had changed his dance clothes.

Zhuang Xinyan said: "Sister Concubine Li doesn't have to care about Zhao Meiren, she just can't see that others have a better temperament than her." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "I don't know who used her temperament like this." ”

Li Yuqi said: "The concubine is really embarrassed this time. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Concubine Li thinks too much, but the palace thinks that they are jealous of Concubine Li to have such a reaction." In the coming days, the emperor will have time to watch Concubine Li dance, and the emperor may watch it alone. ”

Li Yuqi said shyly: "The queen makes fun of her concubines. ”

Knowing that Zhang Mengjie was comforting, Li Yuqi still hoped that this day would come.

The sound of "boom" scared everyone, and Zhang Mengjie's mind was still frightened by Li Yuqi's "Mom" on her left.

Zhang Mengjie looked up at the starry night sky and said, "How can there be thunder this day?" ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "Concubines often hear people say that this kind of thunder is called drought thunder, if you do something bad on this day in the year of the drought thunder, you will be punished by God." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Alarmist. Where did you hear that? ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "There is a Xiucai in the concubine's hometown who abandoned his fiancée who was about to marry after gaining fame and married Shangshu's daughter, but on the day he abandoned his fiancée in a certain year, he hit a drought and thunder, and soon died of a strange illness. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "It's just a coincidence. ”

Li Yuqi said: "The concubine feels a little cold, let's hurry up!" ”

Zhang Mengjie found that Li Yuqi was shivering: "It's a little cold." ”

Zhang Mengjie, who walked to the door of Luanfeng Palace, once again looked up at the starry night sky, which has been sunny since November last year. Although everyone wants to bask in the sun in the cold winter month, will anything bad happen to such an abnormal naivety?

is the so-called good spirit but not bad spirit, Zhang Mengjie was just about to go to bed, and Li Yuqi, a person from Qi Xiuyuan, was frightened and asked her to take a look.

When Zhang Mengjie arrived at Qixiuyuan, Li Yuqi, who was lying on the bed, kept shouting: "Ghost, ghost, don't come here!" ”

Zhang Mengjie sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed her hand and said, "Concubine Li, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Yuqi shook off Zhang Mengjie's hand and said, "Ghost, don't touch me, don't come over." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Concubine Li, don't be afraid, it's this palace." ”

Li Yuqi, who was overly frightened, didn't seem to hear Zhang Mengjie's words, but still said to himself: "It's him, it's him who came to me, it's not me who hurt him." ”

Zhang Mengjie grabbed her hand again and said, "Concubine Li, don't be afraid, see clearly that it's this palace, who is looking for you?" Who do you see? ”

Long Tingxiao in the Qianqing Palace said: "You have done your best in this matter, I don't blame you." ”

Zhao Ziheng said: "Changcheng is the only way for officials and businessmen in various cities, and the lord of Xiao City is clearly a threat. ”

Long Tingxiao said: "After all, it is other people's territory, and if you can endure it, you can endure it." ”

Zhao Ziheng said: "But this is too much. ”

Long Tingxiao said: "There is still a long time before the tax, let's think of other ways, if it really can't be done at that time, we can only do what City Lord Xiao wants, it's better than nothing." ”

Zhao Ziheng was about to say something, when Xiao Qizi came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Xiuyuan is haunted, and Concubine Li is scared." ”

When Zhang Mengjie didn't know how to appease Li Yuqi in Qixiuyuan, Li Yuqi's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of Long Tingxiao coming to Qixiuyuan outside.

As soon as Long Tingxiao walked in, Li Yuqi said: "Your Majesty, save the concubines!" ”

Long Tingxiao said: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yuqi's personal maid Xiaoqing said: "When the slave maid served the maid and went to bed, the maid said that there was something outside the window, but the slave maid did not see it. After a while, the mother said that there was someone outside the window, but the slave still didn't see it. For the sake of the mother's relief, the slave maid wanted to go outside to have a look, but before the slave maid walked out of the dormitory, the maid was scared like this. ”

Li Yuqi said uneasily: "It was he who came to find the concubine, and the emperor saved the concubine." ”

Long Tingxiao said: "Who came to you?" ”

Li Yuqi said: "The concubine didn't harm him, it wasn't the concubine who harmed him." ”

Long Tingxiao couldn't ask anything when he saw Li Yuqi like this, so he said to the guards beside him: "You go outside and see if there is anything suspicious." ”

The guards who had gone out soon returned, bringing back a white robe with a hat and a strange face painted on it.
