"Mother, Ke'er has come to greet you!" After Murong Ke saluted, he got up, he looked at his flowery and moon-looking mother, and his face was not shocked.

"Ke'er, what have you been busy with lately?" Concubine Ling is one of the emperor's favorite concubines, because of her outstanding appearance and arrogant temperament, like a thorny rose, so the emperor loves and hates, but she is helpless.

"After returning to her mother, Ke'er has been studying the art of war recently, hoping that one day she can use it on the battlefield and contribute a meager strength to the Xiyan Kingdom." Murong Ke replied solemnly.

"Humph!" Concubine Ling stared at Murong Ke and snorted coldly, and then said slowly: "This is very good, presumably your father will definitely appreciate you especially when he knows about it." However, the mother reminds you that study is study, but the vision must be long-term, and the important ministers who should be wooed by the court should not forget to win over, these do not need to be reminded by the mother concubine. ”

"The teachings of the mother, Ke'er keep it in mind, and please rest assured that the mother." Murong Ke knew that his mother had always been strict with herself, and she rarely praised him, but once he didn't do it properly, she would criticize him very harshly, so he had also formed this kind of hidden tenacity for a long time.

"By the way, have you heard about the prince?" After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Ling raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but ask again.

"Regarding the matter of the prince, the son has known about it for a long time, presumably the prince should be in Xishan Temple by now to show his prince's temper." Speaking of this, the corners of Murong Ke's mouth couldn't help but hook up with a touch of mockery.

For this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has the same opinion as the King of Dongjun, but he got the position of the prince by having the queen mother of the queen's mother, and now he is not worthy of the throne, and he will be spurned by his father.

"Ke'er, the mother concubine hopes that you can take the prince as a warning, and you must not be rigid and self-serving, trapped by love, and although the mother concubine is deeply favored by your father, she is not like the queen, she has the support of a group of ministers behind her, so Ke'er, you can only win the appreciation of your father if you make meritorious achievements, and only then will those ministers look down on you and be willing to serve you." Concubine Ling didn't feel the teachings.

She looked at the son in front of her, who had reached the age of marriage, and in addition to being relieved, she also felt deep worry. Because of the palace and the lack of support, she knows better than anyone that unless she becomes stronger, she will only be trampled and insulted by others.

"The teachings of the mother concubine, Ke'er will be firmly in mind." Murong Ke has become accustomed to Concubine Ling's urging, every once in a while, Concubine Ling will say it to him, it has been like this since he was a child, in addition to a mother's hope for her son, there is also deep love, Murong Ke can feel it.

He knew that the concubine was not a woman who was good at expressing her emotions, which also made her look too arrogant and cold in the eyes of others, but Murong Ke knew that the concubine's love was forbearing, and she used harshness to cover up the love for him in her heart, and the more strict the concubine was to herself, the more the concubine cared about herself.

"I heard that Shangguan Feiyan, the daughter of Captain Shangguan, is now at the age of leaving the cabinet, I wonder if Ke'er has any intentions for this daughter? The concubine remembers the last time she saw you in the Imperial Garden, and she had spoken to her alone. Concubine Ling didn't know why she suddenly remembered such a thing.

Murong Ke knew that the concubine had misunderstood, so he explained: "The concubine misunderstood, that time it was because Shangguan Feiyan's handkerchief was accidentally lost on the ground, and Ke'er just helped her pick it up, and by the way, she simply said a word or two, and I hope that the concubine won't think too much." ”

Murong Ke didn't know how the concubine would mention this matter, if she was afraid that she would be like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then there was no need, because he didn't have much thought about that Shangguan Feiyan, although her appearance was a country and a city.

"Ke'er, you don't have to be so cautious, the mother concubine is just asking, and if you really have an interest in that Shangguan Feiyan, it is not a bad thing. After all, this Shangguan Taiwei has a high prestige in the court, and if you can get his support, then it will undoubtedly be a tiger with wings for you. Besides, you have also reached the age of marriage, and the mother is thinking about asking you to find a good family. ”

Hearing Concubine Ling say this, Murong Ke understood what she meant, it turned out that the concubine was helping him find a partner, but his mind was not on this now, so he categorically refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but Ke'er is afraid that she will disappoint the concubine." First of all, Ke'er has not succeeded, and she has no intention of considering the issue of her children, and Shangguan Feiyan is not a suitable candidate. ”

Hearing Murong Ke say that Shangguan Feiyan was not a suitable candidate, Concubine Ling couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously, "How do you say this?" ”

"Not to mention that Ke'er doesn't have any special feelings for Shangguan Feiyan, and the mother knows that Shangguan Feiyan has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in mind, and Ke'er has no reason to marry a woman who already has other men in her heart." Murong Ke resolutely said what he thought.

Although he is accustomed to obeying his mother's arrangement, he wants to have his own choice in life's major events, after all, it is a woman who wants to go with him for a lifetime, and he does not want to sacrifice his happiness for the sake of political marriage.

"Is that so?" Concubine Ling was also surprised, she thought for a moment and said: "In this way, this Shangguan Taiwei is very likely to be on the side of the prince, and I am still thinking about letting you go to Shangguan Taiwei's mansion to walk around more?" However, I heard that the prince is obsessed with a Qinglou woman, I am afraid that this Shangguan Feiyan is wishful thinking, and besides, Shangguan Taiwei may not be willing to marry his daughter to the prince, Ke'er, the mother still hopes that you will focus on the overall situation. ”

"Ke'er understands, but Ke'er feels that there is no need to rush the matter of marriage, after all, the situation between the DPRK and China has not yet formed too much difference, and Erchen feels that it is better not to act rashly." Murong Ke felt that it was not yet the time to show the dew.

"It's okay, you consciously weigh it, after all, the mother concubine is a woman's family, this thinking will inevitably be a woman's kindness, if you think it's inappropriate, you can do it according to your method, don't miss the big thing because of the mother's words." Concubine Ling is not the kind of woman who is high-flying and domineering, she knows how to judge the situation, and she also knows how to advance and retreat, but she will not be stubborn and stick to the rules.

"Yes, Princess!" Murong Ke nodded.

"The concubine feels a little tired for a while, so you can step down." Concubine Ling rubbed her temples, and said unconsciously, Seeing this, Murong Ke bowed and retreated.

Seeing Murong Ke leaving, Concubine Ling raised her eyes, and then lowered her eyes and said, "Ziyun, how many days has the emperor not come to our Ziwei Palace?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang, it's been almost a whole month." Ziyun couldn't help but reply.

"It's been so long, hey!" Concubine Ling couldn't help sighing, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked again, "Do you know, who has the emperor been staying with recently?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, in addition to staying in the Chengxuan Palace, the emperor went to the queen's mother, Chunfei Niangniang, Duanfei Niangniang and Rufei Niangniang, among which the time spent in Chunfei Niangniang was the longest."

Hey, amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed, is the emperor really angry with her and no longer steps into the Ziwei Palace? Concubine Ling couldn't help but regret her last move.

A month ago, Emperor Murong Sheng came to visit Concubine Ling in the Crape Myrtle Palace, and it happened that the crape myrtle flowers in the Crape Myrtle Hall were in full bloom, Murong Sheng was very happy to see this, and ordered to break off some of these crape myrtle flowers and send them to other palaces, but the problem was here.

Concubine Ling felt that this crape myrtle flower was originally from the crape myrtle hall, and if anyone liked it, she could come to the crape myrtle hall to enjoy the flowers, she had nothing to say, but if she broke off this crape myrtle flower and sent it to other palaces, she was a little unhappy in her heart.

"Your Majesty, no, the concubine ordered someone to take care of these crape myrtle trees, just waiting for the crape myrtle flowers to bloom one day, waiting for the emperor to come and watch, but the emperor wants to break off these crape myrtle flowers at this time, which is like ignoring the concubine's painstaking work, and the concubine will feel distressed."

Seeing Concubine Ling say this, Murong Sheng couldn't help but care, he gently sniffed the crape myrtle flower in front of him, and said quite meaningfully: "Concubine Ling, wrong, Gu Shiyun: 'There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches!'" Don't you know? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines only know that they don't pay for their true feelings, otherwise they will be silent." Concubine Ling couldn't help but be angry.

I don't know if it was because of his one-sided insistence that the emperor was a little unhappy, and it didn't take long for the emperor to leave under the pretext of leaving, and he went to Concubine Chun, and from that day to now, Concubine Ling has not seen the emperor's shadow.

"Concubine Ling, if you miss the emperor, it is better to go to Chengxuan Hall to meet the emperor, and you will not be able to think nonsense here." Ziyun knew Concubine Ling's thoughts, so she couldn't help but suggest.

Concubine Ling is a woman with an arrogant temperament, usually the emperor thinks of her and comes to Ziwei Hall to see her, and she rarely takes the initiative to find the emperor, seeing Ziyun say so, she glanced at Ziyun and said: "Since the saint is unwilling to come, why should I bother him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a eunuch report outside: "Qi Ling Concubine Niangniang, the emperor has arrived!" ”

"What, the emperor is here?" When Concubine Ling heard this, she immediately stood up happily, she took Ziyun's hand and said a little excitedly: "Ziyun, quick, help Concubine Ben take a look, see if Concubine Ben's hair is messy, and whether this dress fits properly?" ”

"Niangniang, your hair is not messy at all, and your clothes fit very well, the slave maid sees that you should hurry up to meet the emperor." Ziyun couldn't help but smile when she saw Concubine Ling seeing the emperor's happy appearance.

"Yes, yes, you see that this concubine is patronizing and happy, and you forgot to greet her, hurry, go with this concubine to greet her." Saying that, Concubine Ling took Ziyun's hand and hurriedly walked outside.

"Concubine Ling is here to welcome the saint!" As soon as he arrived outside the hall, he saw Murong Sheng's majestic and vigorous figure, which made the concubine and the slaves and maids bend down and salute.

"Excuse me!" Murong Sheng strode forward, then took Concubine Ling's hand and said with a hearty smile: "Concubine Ling, I haven't come to your Ziwei Hall for a few days. ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the emperor has forgotten about his concubines." Although Concubine Ling was happy in her heart, the words that came out of her mouth were tepid, like a cold stone that could not be warmed.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and a touch of purple red came unconsciously, and fell to the ground silently, just falling to Murong Sheng's feet.
