Chapter 33. Break the game
"I don't know how many surprises you have." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with shining eyes.
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with beautiful eyes, lowered her eyes and smiled: "The concubine's carving insect skills made the emperor smile." "Jinghong Dance has always been only for her beloved, and her dance can only be danced for the emperor, but now she has to dance in front of everyone, although she is in the limelight, but it is difficult to hide a trace of regret in her heart.
An Lingrong didn't sing in this life, just sat on the seat and looked at Zhen Huan in the center of the hall from afar, and looked at the emperor who was staring at her by mistake.
Yes, Zhen Huan is both beautiful and artistic, and her talent is outstanding, even if she has the shadow of Queen Chunyuan, the emperor should like her, what is she worth? It's just self-inflicted.
An Lingrong raised his head and drank a glass of wine, only to feel bitter in his mouth.
"Little master, the slave maid is always saying according to what you said, and the frost flower is coming with you." Dill came back to say goodbye, and there was something strange in her words, "It's just that Xia Chang is ...... her"
"She's a little out of your eyes, isn't she?" An Lingrong stared ahead, her voice was low, although she asked a question, the meaning was determined, "Her temper has always been like this, if it weren't for the successive suppression of Queen Hua when she entered the palace, she might not have looked down on me, and now that she is pregnant, she naturally feels superior, where is she willing to succumb to me." She sneered and pressed her glass on the table, "After today, she will have nothing to do with me." โ
This is An Lingrong's first chess piece, which can abolish Zhen Yuyin and interrupt Concubine Hua's design to return to favor, which is already a good result. As for the child she was pregnant, it was a gift from her.
An Lingrong looked at a point in mid-air with a blank gaze, and his thoughts flew away.
On that day, when she knew that Concubine Hua had designed Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy, she began to arrange it.
First let Cardamom go out of the palace to find a medicine called "Hundred Days", replacing the forsythia in Shen Meizhuang's prescription, after taking this medicine, from the symptoms to the pulse are exactly the same as pregnant, no one can diagnose it, but when the period of March comes, the person who takes it will bleed heavily, like a miscarriage.
But this can only break Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy, not enough to make Concubine Hua suffer any blow, so An Lingrong tried every means to make Xia Dongchun favored and pregnant-this is a real pregnancy, using the formula given to her by the queen back then.
An Lingrong raised his eyes to look at the queen with an impeccable smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Although Dill was a little angry, seeing that An Lingrong didn't care, she also closed her mouth and stopped talking.
During the banquet, King Guojun had already entered the table, Zhen Huan was summoned to sit next to the emperor, and everyone was staggered.
"Ahem...... Concubine Hua drank and coughed lightly, which attracted the emperor's side eyes, and suddenly looked at the emperor with watery eyes, and Chu Chu stood up pitifully, "The concubine didn't have any grievances, but she saw the nobles of Dongguan dancing and touched her heart for a while, so she lost her manners." โ
She said that she had no grievances, but every word was grievances: "The concubine came to read the poetry book, and saw that there was an article by Tang Xuanzong's Concubine Mei Lou Dongfu, which touched my heart when I read it." The dance came from Concubine Mei, danced when she was favored, and Lou Dongfu was written in the claustrophobic Shangyang Palace. โ
Your Majesty, you see, a person like Shilan who doesn't like to read, can only rely on reading books to pass the time recently, isn't it because the emperor snubbed Shilan? Concubine Hua looked at the emperor aggrievedly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be talking about her daughter's family. Zhen Huan's dance is the emperor's favorite, and Shilan Nianfu Loudong is really the emperor's snub for a long time.
"You've never paid attention to poetry books, but now you're so interested." The emperor felt something, but he didn't believe what Concubine Hua said, and his tone was light.
"The concubines are ignorant, listening to poems and books can cultivate their temperament, and the concubines know that they have no virtue and no talent, if they don't cultivate themselves, they really have no face to serve the emperor again." Concubine Hua's face was soft, but her words were conclusive, but she didn't just say that she would let the emperor test her.
But having come to this point, the emperor also knew that Concubine Hua was prepared, and it seemed that she couldn't get over it without taking a test, so he said: "Since you said that you have feelings for Lou Dongfu, why don't you say it and listen to it." He has been snubbing Concubine Hua for a long time, she can be so attentive, she already knows that she is wrong, Nian Qianyao has been asking for peace several times, and he is really tired of watching it.
Zhen Huan sat beside the emperor, her expression was slightly condensed, she didn't know what she was thinking, Frost Flower bypassed behind her and whispered softly in Su Peisheng's ear, so that she could listen to it.
"Father-in-law Su, my little master is unwell today, so I just asked the doctor to check the pulse, saying that I am happy. The stakes are very high, and the little master of my family does not dare to hide it, so he specially asked the slave maid to come to tell the emperor. โ
Su Peisheng was slightly surprised, and nodded hurriedly: "This is a great joy!" Promised to wait for the emperor to return to the emperor next time, and then Frost Flower retreated aside.
Zhen Huan's eyes blinked slightly, looking at Concubine Hua who was still reading "Lou Dongfu" under the seat, and couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips.
โโฆโฆ Take away my love, reprimand me in the secluded palace, think of the old love, and dream hazy. Every time the concubine reads this, she deeply feels that Concubine Mei thinks of her long-term affection. Concubine Hua looked at the emperor affectionately, and the friendship in her eyes was almost overflowing.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he seemed to feel something.
But Prince Dun stood up again to speak for Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua has served the emperor for many years, and has never made any big mistakes. โ
The queen, who was still worried about Concubine Hua's return to favor, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Prince Dun's words, the emperor would have been so nostalgic by Concubine Hua that he might still be hot for a while, but after Prince Dun said this, the emperor would consider Prince Dun's personal relationship with Nian Qianyao more, and it would not be so pure to favor Concubine Hua.
The affairs of the emperor's harem have always been where others can be criticized, especially the prince with a noble status!
The queen looked at the emperor's expression of unhappiness at the moment, and secretly laughed in her heart.
Others may not know, but the queen is clear, don't look at Prince Dun now enjoying the princely throne, but more because his mother is the sister of the first emperor Empress Xiao Zhaoren, not because he values him.
Concubine Hua has been treated in the cold for too long this time, and she actually took Prince Dun as a lobbyist, and she was really sick and rushed to the doctor.
"Concubine Hua, it's really hard for you." The emperor seemed to be relieved of Concubine Hua, but he clearly did not promise anything, "The place where you live is too remote, and I will often visit you if I am free." โ
Concubine Hua was overjoyed, and forcibly maintained today's pitiful character: "The concubine thanked the emperor." โ
The queen relaxed, raised her glass and drank a drink, but her face was not obvious.
"Your Majesty, the slave has something important to tell." Seeing that Concubine Hua was wrong, Su Peisheng stood up and spoke, with obvious joy on his face, "Congratulations to the emperor, the palace maid who Xia Chang is by his side came to report that Xia Changzai has been pregnant for a month. โ
It was like a thunderclap on the ground, which made everyone stunned for a while.
The queen's pupils shook, her face twitched, she clenched her teeth so that she didn't let herself show half of her gaffe, and swallowed back the sentence "How is it possible", and said with a forced smile: "Xia Chang is really blessed, it's only been a little more than a month, and she is pregnant, I'm afraid it will be when I am favored for the first time." The emperor is overjoyed! โ
Concubine Hua's face was even more ugly, and she tried her best to play a show that made the emperor change his mind, and at this time, it broke out that Xia Dongchun was pregnant, wouldn't it be in vain for her to put her mind into it? Shen Meizhuang is just that, after all, it is a fake, but what Xia Dongchun is pregnant with is a real dragon descendant!
She was so blue that she saw the emperor asking about the details of the frost flower with a spring breeze on her face, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Concubine Qi was a little unhappy, but looking at Concubine Hua's appearance, she was in a better mood again. This is just pregnant, what's the big deal, it's Concubine Hua, this time it's really in vain.
Cao Guiren's face was tired, not only because today's plan failed and she had to bear Concubine Hua's anger, but also because Xia Chang was pregnant, and her tasks in the future would be aggravated.
An Lingrong stood up and raised his glass to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Princess Wenyi is one year old today, Sister Mei and Xia Changzai are pregnant one after another, three joys are coming, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous, which is really my luck in the Qing Dynasty." โ
"Well said." The emperor was in a very good mood, An Lingrong's words were said in his heart, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate, he raised his hand and drank a cup, and said to An Lingrong, "Rong'er, now that Xia Chang is living with you, you are as careful as a hair, and you have to work hard to take care of her." โ
An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and he leaned over and saluted: "The concubine obeys the holy will." โ
The banquet dispersed, the emperor drove to Xinghua Village to visit Xia Changzai, the queen told her to go back to rest first, Concubine Hua also hurried back to the Qingliang Palace, and the rest of the people did not make friends with Xia Dongchun, and only An Lingrong was left with him.
Behind him, Zhen Huan stumbled on Cao Guiren's footsteps and talked about today's events with a smile: "The note with the Amazing Dance written on it has always been held in my sister's sleeve, right?" So my sister danced today, it was my sister who was destined for me, and my sister had a heart. โ
Cao Guiren only smiled and replied to her: "Whatever my sister says, I can't understand my clumsy words, sister." She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it, Zhen Huan naturally understood it, but her next sentence was endless, "Sister, if you are free, you should take good care of the Hui nobles' fetus, after all, that's what the emperor really cares about." โ
Speaking of which, Xia Changzai was also diagnosed with pregnancy today, which is really a happy event. I don't know if Concubine Hua is so trying to save the emperor today, can the emperor value her more than the emperor's heir? Zhen Huan had a faint smile on her face, and after speaking, she took Liuzhu's hand and left.
Cao Guiren's smile fell little by little, until it disappeared.
Today's such a good game of chess was smashed by a boulder falling from the sky, and after going back, Concubine Hua didn't know how to go crazy! Thinking of this, Cao Guiren only felt a headache.
The people who are crazy are not only Concubine Hua, but also the queen.
"How could Xia be pregnant? She'll be carrying that agate bracelet every day! The queen waved away all the palace people, leaving only Jianqiu to serve in the palace, at this moment she completely lost the dignified and virtuous appearance during the banquet, and her eyes were terrifying, "Did she find something?" โ
"No, that thing is extremely rare, Xia doesn't have much knowledge, and he definitely doesn't know that the red agate hurts his body." Jian Qiu immediately denied it, and then turned to doubt, "The slave maid also feels strange, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be pregnant, is it possible, the Xia family saw that Hui Guiren was pregnant and favored, and he also wanted to compete for favor in the name of pregnancy?" โ
"You mean, Xia's pseudopregnancy?" The queen frowned tightly, "It's just that Shen Meizhuang was designed by Concubine Hua to have a fake pregnancy, and the Xia family came up with a fake pregnancy to compete for favor...... Even if she's stupid, she shouldn't be stupid enough to be that stupid. After a pause, she said to Jian Qiu, "You can let Zhang Mi personally diagnose Xia's pulse later and see what the situation is." โ
"Yes." Jian Qiu responded to the order, and turned to step forward to knead the queen's shoulders, "Today's mother has worked hard all day, let's rest early." โ
"I really laughed on this day, and my face was sore." There was no smile on the queen's face, only deep tiredness, "As a queen, there can never be a time when you are bored, once you are found out that you are powerless." Those who are staring at the back are no wonder if they don't eat you alive. โ
Jian Qiu suddenly smiled: "That's what Niangniang said." Today, Concubine Hua acted in a pretentious play, which finally caused the emperor to change his mind slightly, but she was caught off guard by Xia Changzai being pregnant, and it was really too difficult for her to regain favor this time. โ
The queen said lightly: "She is stealing chickens and rice this time." I thought of making a fool of the nobles in Dongguan by using the Amazing Dance, but I didn't expect that I tried my best to lure out Lou Dongfu and failed to save the sacred heart. Even if there is no such thing as Xia Chang being pregnant today, Concubine Hua will not be able to make a comeback, but now that Qianyao is used in the previous dynasty, the emperor still has to give Concubine Hua face, and it is a matter of time before she regains favor. The queen glanced at Jianqiu, then lowered the corners of her mouth, and talked about the child, "When I saw Wen Yi's child in this palace today, I remembered the appearance of Honghui in this palace at his first birthday." โ
Jian Qiu's hand moved: "If the big brother is still there......"
