Empress Yue's birthday was in the scorching summer.

The little ladies are dressed very coolly, and the thin shirts and gauze skirts of all colors perfectly outline the plump and delicate figures under the clothes.

"Why are you wearing this today?"

Fu Xuanlin frowned and stared at Zhan Xinglan in front of him, who was dressed with a hint of exposure.

"Isn't it good? It's very decent."

Zhan Xinglan looked down at the concubine's red pleated skirt that reached her chest, and the waist of the Su embroidered skirt was tied above her chest, just right to cover the place that should be covered.

But the summer shirt draped on her body almost looked like she wasn't wearing it, exposing her skin like congealed cream, and her back and arms with sinuous lines were exposed.

Fu Xuanlin got close to Zhan Xinglan and used her broad body to block the sight of other men looking at her as much as possible.

"But this shirt is too thin."

"This silk cloud sara is the most popular summer shirt in the capital now, enough to be as light as smoke, as thin as cicada wings, and many little ladies in the capital can't buy it if they want to buy it."

"The king will order someone to buy the shop that made this cloud sara later."

"Does the prince want to give the shop to the concubine?"

Zhan Xinglan's eyes full of anticipation even radiated light.

"No, this king is going to sell all these silk cloud saras to the ladies in the capital except for the princess."

"Why?"

"That way, others won't just stare at the princess."

Fu Xuanlin said that, a slap of the eye scared away Xiao Langjun, who was looking Zhan Xinglan up and down.

Zhan Xinglan covered his mouth and smiled, "The prince is like a little wolf dog who protects food."

"Little wolf dog and little fox are made in heaven. There are too many people in this royal garden that the king doesn't like, so let's change places."

Fu Xuanlin raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Zhan Xinglan's shoulders, and his slender arms and hanging sleeves just blocked her back.

The two of them were high and low, and Zhan Xinglan was almost completely wrapped in Fu Xuanlin's arms.

Almost all eyes in the Imperial Garden were on the couple.

Duchess Zhenguo, who was sitting under the porch, said to Wang Ying'er beside her:

"Everyone says that King Ling and Princess Ling are not on good terms, but they don't look at it and love each other, right?"

Wang Ying'er fanned her fan, "It's all pretentious, such a formal occasion, even if there is a suspicion, you have to endure it."

"That's just as well. But the little maid named Tan Xiang, no matter how you look at it, she is not as beautiful as Princess Ling. I really don't know how King Ling took a fancy to her."

"The Duchess of this country doesn't understand, Princess Ling is of noble birth, so naturally she can't learn the lowly style of a servant girl who likes men. But I see, King Ling will definitely not give that Tan Xiang any name."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? King Ling has moved out of the dormitory for the sake of that girl."

"Harm, no matter how you say it, a handmaid is a handmaiden, even if she inserts the hair of a phoenix, she doesn't take the life of flying on the branches."

Wang Ying'er's ridiculous words made the Duchess of Zhenguo giggle.

But these words were also heard by Tan Xiang, who was hiding behind the wall.

She hurriedly walked to the porch outside the imperial garden, and looked at the figures of Fu Xuanlin and Zhan Xinglan snuggling away from a distance, and her heart was inexplicably not good.

Fu Xuanlin did move out of the dormitory for her, but every time she wore heavy makeup and dressed sexily to find him in the study, when she wanted to go further, he prevaricated for various reasons.

So far, he hasn't even touched her body.

Tan Xiang couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheek, "Is it really because I'm not as beautiful as Zhan Xinglan?"

Just as she was falling into self-doubt, a woman dressed as a palace maid passed by her.

Under the narrow road, the two slammed into each other and both fell to the ground.

"Who! It's not long-sighted!"

Epiphany rubbed her ass with a painful expression.

She looked at the palace maid opposite, and just wanted to curse, but found that this person was Ke Wanning's close maid Vanilla

。

Vanilla also crawled up with a painful expression.

"I'm sorry, I'll help you up."

She limped forward to pick up Epiphany, but she didn't notice that a small porcelain vase had fallen out of her body lying where she had just fallen.

"Vanilla Girl is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

"Oh, the crown princess suddenly wants to eat cherry ice cheese, I'll go to the dining room and give an order."

Vanilla's expression was very unnatural, and her eyes were always drooping, not daring to look at Epiphany.

Tan Xiang sighed and said, "Then go quickly, so as not to wait for the crown princess to be in a hurry."

Vanilla immediately walked forward without looking back, but Tan Xiang always felt that this vanilla was weird.

But now is not the time to care about these inconsequential people.

Tanka shook her head and walked straight forward.

But before she could take two steps, she seemed to have stepped on something.

"What is this?"

Tan Xiang leaned over and picked up the small porcelain vase that had fallen on the stone slab.

I took it to the tip of my nose and smelled it, and the red cork gave off a faint aroma.

She looked back at Vanilla, who was running away, and remembered Vanilla's panicked look.

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into my mind.

Empress Yue's birthday banquet is still held in the Lin De Hall, but the furnishings are much simpler than the Qianqiu banquet.

The Saxo Hall next to the Lin De Hall is used to place congratulatory gifts.

Vanilla stood in front of the door of the Saxo Hall, peering through the lush trees in the direction of the Lunde Hall.

After carefully checking that no one was looking this way, she cautiously opened the door of the temple.

The Selbo Hall is not large, but the congratulatory gifts inside are full.

In order to distinguish who gave the gift, each gift was hung with a small wooden plaque engraved with the name

Vanilla soon found the congratulatory gift prepared by He Fuyan.

It is a coral pinched golden red jade phoenix hairpin, the crested head is high, the phoenix tail is flying, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

"Concubine He, I'm sorry."

Vanilla put down the wooden sign and reached out to rub it around her waist.

But no matter how much she rubbed it, there was nothing around her waist.

"I put it here, how could I not have it?"

Vanilla panicked, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down.

If she can't give this poison today, I'm afraid that Ke Wanning won't let her go easily.

Besides, if this medicine falls into the hands of someone else, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Vanilla's expression became more and more flustered.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

The sudden sound startled vanilla.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Epiphyll, who had come in at some point, and her gaze fell on Epiphany's hand holding up the poison. Chinese Net

Tanka approached step by step with the poison in her hand, "Say, what the hell is this?"

"It's just the incense powder I use on weekdays, give it back to me."

Vanilla stretched out her hand to grab it, but was flashed by Epiphany's sideways.

"Still want to grab it? If you don't tell the truth, I'll give this to Her Highness!"

As soon as she heard that Tanxiang was going to hand over the poison to the queen, Vanilla immediately cried timidly.

"Miss Tanxiang, please don't tell Her Royal Highness."

"Then tell me honestly, what is this?"

"Yes," Vanilla swallowed bitterly, "it's poison."

Tan Xiang's body was shocked, and there was a chill in her back.

"You dare to poison Her Royal Highness, what a boldness!"

Vanilla plopped down and kneeled down, and explained in a panic: "This poison will not hurt people's lives, but it will disfigure people's faces, I am a ghost, please don't tell others about this."

Tanka's eyes lit up, "You say this thing can ruin people's faces? Really?"

Vanilla choked up, "Yes." If this medicine comes into contact with the skin, it will cause a rash all over the body, and the face will not be spared, and the only way to cure it is by taking the antidote."

"Okay, I don't expose you, but I have a request, give me some of this poison."

"This ......"

"You don't have a choice."

Tan Xiang didn't wait for Vanilla to answer, and took out a handkerchief from her bosom and put it on the table.

She uncorked the bottle and poured half of the bottle of poison on the veil before returning the small porcelain bottle to Vanilla.

"God knows what happened today, you know what I know, out of this door, we have never met today."

With that, Tan Xiang carefully wrapped the three layers of white powder and stuffed it into her arms.

With this thing, even if Zhan Xinglan looks like a country and a city, it will be ruined.

At noon, there was a crisp and melodious, melodious singing and dancing sound from the Lin De Palace.

This is the signal for the beginning of the birthday feast.

Everyone began to go to the Lin De Hall one after another.

In a short time, the people had gathered into the temple from all directions and took their seats.

Zhan Xinglan, as Princess Ling, sat next to Fu Xuanlin very naturally.

After she came here, she participated in three palace banquets, and sat opposite Fu Xuanlin for the first time.

The second time he was married to him by His Majesty.

The third time he became his princess and sat beside him.

Time flies.

Zhan Xinglan sighed sincerely.

But she didn't see Ke Wanning's resentful eyes when she passed in front of her with Fu Tingxuan in her arms.

I didn't see Fu Tingxuan's inexplicable look when he peeked at her sideways.

"I'll give you a congratulatory gift later, but let the king go by himself."

Fu Xuanlin looked at the couple vigilantly and took Zhan Xinglan's hand tightly.

"You and I are one husband, how can we act separately? Besides, didn't Your Highness say that the more you show the love of husband and wife on such occasions, the more others will believe the rumors of our Ling Palace."

"Having said that, this king always feels that the crown prince and the crown princess look at you impurely."

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, their dirty methods are not enough to shake the concubine's body."

Zhan Xinglan put his other hand on Fu Xuanlin's hand and patted it, signaling him to relax.

After a while, He Fuyan and Xi Li'er also passed in front of them.

According to the rules, the two of them are side concubines, and they can only sit behind the prince and the concubine, and even when they see other princes and princesses, they have to salute and greet them.

He Fuyan glanced at Zhan Xinglan and walked straight to Fu Tingxuan's side.

But Xi Li'er stopped and bowed slightly.

"His Royal Highness King Ling, Princess Ling."

Zhan Xinglan was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his expression.

"Little third sister-in-law, please get up quickly, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the little third sister-in-law is becoming more and more beautiful and moving."

"To be able to win the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the blessing of a lifetime. The birthday banquet is about to start, so I won't catch up with Princess Ling much."

Xi Li'er smiled and bowed away.

Zhan Xinglan looked at Xi Li'er, and inexplicably felt that she was different from before.

In the past, Xi Li'er pretended to be pitiful and delicate, and she was a good hand.

The current Xi Li'er has an elusive depth.

It seems that the prince's snubbing of her at the beginning, and Ke Wanning and He Fuyan's torture and blows to her, have made her grow a lot.

Being able to say on the second day of the prince's wedding that the prince would make her the second side concubine is not something that ordinary people can learn.

However, Xi Li'er is a powerful character, otherwise how could she send the original owner's family to Huangquan.
