"Your concubine has been in the position for some years, and I plan to give you a good promotion after the Dragon Boat Festival." The emperor spoke again, with a tentative meaning between his words, "Chun Changzai is also promoted to a nobleman, and he happens to be canonized with you." ”

Concubine Hua's face really changed: "Chun Chang is still young, why did the emperor suddenly think of making her a nobleman?" ”

"Fang Zhengshu is seriously ill, I am afraid that she is young and too sad in my heart, so I want to comfort her a little." The emperor looked at Concubine Hua's face, and suddenly changed his words, "If you don't like it, I'll let her be a permanent presence and only give her a title, how about it?" ”

"The emperor's will and concubines dare not disobey it, as long as Chun is always happy." Concubine Hua's eyes flashed, and she smiled gently, but her heart was full of thoughts. Fang Saijiu is seriously ill, could it be that Chun Chang stayed in the Heart Nourishing Hall for so long that day, did the emperor tell her about this? Didn't you sell official fornication for her? It really made Cao Guiren right.

The emperor pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "It's rare that you are so sensible." ”

Because Concubine Hua was pregnant, the emperor did not stay overnight, and laughed with her for a while before getting up and going to the queen's palace.

The next day, everyone came to Jingren Palace to say goodbye, and after saluting the queen, they turned to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua's mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up." Concubine Hua was slightly surprised, and then understood the reason, but she didn't show half a point, only doubts on her face, and asked with a smile, "Why are you sisters so polite today?" ”

"I heard that the emperor is going to promote you to the position, and now that you are pregnant again, they are all sisters in the family, so I naturally want to congratulate you first." The queen sat on the first seat, the smile on her face was as usual, but a closer look could still tell the look of exhaustion.

When Concubine Hua heard this, she became even more proud: "It has always been such a blessing for the queen's mother, but I didn't expect that today, the concubines are also blessed." ”

The queen smiled.

"Concubine Hua, what do you mean by that?" Concubine Qi immediately became dissatisfied, she had been suppressed by Concubine Hua for many years, and now Concubine Hua has been sealed again, she will have to be respectful to her in the future, and she feels angry when she thinks about it, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the decree has not been issued now, and say a few more words.

Concubine Hua didn't look at Concubine Qi, but pressed the queen step by step: "When Niangniang was from the side of Fujin to Fujin, I think it was also congratulated by the concubines like this, right?" ”

The queen smiled and said, "My sister is really smart from herself to others. ”

"No matter how smart the concubine is, how can she compare to the queen's mother, you are blessed and wise?" Concubine Hua secretly mocked the queen for only doing superficial work, "The queen has always loved to understand the emperor's intentions, I don't know what position the emperor said he wanted to promote the position of the concubine, what position he wanted to give the concubine?" ”

"Above the concubine is the concubine, and above the concubine is the imperial concubine. The Emperor's Sacred Heart is roughly like this. The Queen's smile was a little uncontrollable.

Concubine Hua pursed her lips and smiled, and Lang Lang said: "Niangniang is wrong, above the imperial concubine, there is also the queen." She raised her eyes to look at the queen, looked at the queen's stiff face inch by inch with a smile, smiled brightly like a summer flower, and the ambition in her eyes was obvious.

For a time, the needle drop in the hall could be heard.

An Lingrong quietly looked up at Zhen Huan, only to see her eyes and nose and heart, her complexion did not change at all, she quietly hooked the corners of her mouth, and was about to bow her head to go back, but accidentally looked at Cao Qinmo. Seeing the urgency in her eyes, An Lingrong blinked lightly, and threw her handkerchief behind her, suggesting that she would come to the Chunxi Palace.

On the seat, the queen paused for a moment and then regained her strength, and sharply counterattacked: "What does my sister mean, do you like the throne of the queen of this palace?" ”

Seeing that the queen was like a great enemy, Concubine Hua couldn't help laughing, shifted her gaze, touched her stomach and said slowly: "Niangniang is too careful, the concubine just heard that the imperial concubine is more noble than the deputy queen, and when the imperial concubine of Shunzhi was there, Empress Borzigit didn't even have a foothold." ”

"Sister Bogu Tongjin." The queen immediately said, "It's just that no matter how noble the imperial concubine is, she is only the same as the deputy queen, the queen is the queen after all, and the imperial concubine can have it, but there is always only one person in the world, even if the imperial concubine Dong E is posthumously crowned as the queen, she is still the master of the temple, and everything is not right, then the words are not good, sister, you are very smart, you should know what is punctuality, advance and retreat appropriately." ”

Concubine Hua smiled slightly: "The concubine only knows that things are uneven. "She pretended to be innocent," the concubine was just a few words of gossip, which provoked the queen mother's grand discussion, and those who didn't know thought that the queen mother was the same as Queen Borzigit, and when she heard the three words of the imperial concubine, she was like a great enemy. ”

The queen's heart was strained, and she only felt that a punch had hit the cotton, and she didn't swallow it.

An Lingrong sat at the end and took a sip of tea slowly. Whether it is to use the queen's hand to suppress Concubine Hua, or to use Concubine Hua's mouth to ridicule the queen, she is happy to see it.

"It is the queen's duty to discipline the concubines and concubines to be in the palace." The queen put up a shelf to support the scene, "My sister listens more now, and after being promoted, she will be more able to convince people with reason and morality." Her smile was impeccable, but everyone present could see the reluctance behind the queen's smile.

"Thank you for your advice." Concubine Hua gently touched her stomach, the arc of her bowed head was almost invisible, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was open and presumptuous, "Why don't you see Fucha nobles today?" It's been more than half a month since I had a miscarriage, and my body is not yet well? I want to apologize to her. She pursed her lips and chuckled, "The early stage of a woman's pregnancy was indeed very hard, and now this palace is also eating and vomiting, vomiting and eating, and the nausea is really endless, and she is really wrong to blame when the Japanese palace." ”

Everyone knew that Concubine Hua was deliberately showing off, but they were silent.

Finally everyone dispersed, and the queen took Jian Qiu's hand back to the dormitory, only feeling that this morning's pie was more tiring than a ten-day banquet, but remembering what the emperor revealed to her last night, she cheered up again.

How is Concubine Hua gaining power now? She was about to fall into the abyss, and it didn't hurt to let her be arrogant for a while.

"Cut autumn, go to the treasury to pick a statue and send it to Yikun Palace." The queen took a sip of tea to slow down her spirits, and instructed Jian Qiu to say.

Jian Qiu was particularly angry, but she was also strange: "Niangniang, is Concubine Hua really pregnant?" ”

The queen glanced at her meaningfully: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." ”

"Yes." Jian Qiu immediately understood, leaned over and bowed back.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of Concubine Hua's nap, Cao Qinmo avoided the palace people of Yikun Palace, quietly left from the corner gate, and traveled all the way to the Chunxi Palace.

"Sister Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time." An Lingrong beckoned Cao Qinmo to come in and sit, "Sit down." ”

Cao Qinmo was a little restless, she had too many things to ask, but when she saw An Lingrong at this time, she didn't know where to ask for a while, so she could only politely say a few words: "My sister's belly looks big again, and after six months, my belly has grown every day, but I see that my sister's body is not half long, she is still so slender, like a girl." ”

"My sister and I have always been straight to the point, so it's worth these polite words." An Lingrong smiled at Cao Qinmo, and suddenly his eyes fell on her forehead, and he sighed, "Why is my sister's forehead broken?" ”

Cao Qinmo's body stiffened, and she reflexively raised her hand to cover the wound, she had obviously covered it with her sideburns, how could she still be seen. She smiled slightly wryly and said, "It's okay, I just accidentally bumped it." ”

An Lingrong understood and smiled faintly: "It's really hard sister." ”

"There's nothing hard or hard, it's all for the children." Cao Qinmo pondered her emotions for a moment and said, "During this time, Concubine Hua was suspicious of me, and I really couldn't spare time to see my sister. She paused, and then said, "Concubine Hua, why are you pregnant again?" ”

"Sister is smart, don't you understand?" An Lingrong looked at Cao Qinmo with a smile, "When my sister helped Concubine Hua and wanted to frame Sister Mei for fake pregnancy and compete for favor, did you think about what the consequences would be if this plan was applied to herself?" ”

Cao Qin was silently stunned.

Concubine Hua is pretending to be pregnant and childless, she has already guessed it, but An Lingrong said so calmly It is really surprising, even she was frightened for a long time when designing Shen Meizhuang that day, in the final analysis, this is calculating the emperor's heir, and a slight mistake is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, but An Lingrong is so light-hearted.

And Cao Qinmo was even more shocked that An Lingrong actually knew that Shen Meizhuang was designed to be a fake pregnancy early on, but he endured it so far, such a scheming is really terrifying.

"Sister, don't be nervous, I didn't mention this today to settle accounts with the Queen of the Autumn, but to tell my sister that abandoning Concubine Hua is the most correct decision you have made." An Lingrong pushed a brocade box to her with a smile, and her eyes were secretive, "I understand my sister's thoughts, in this game, Nian Shilan dug her own grave, and my sister should think about how to break off the relationship with her earlier." ”

In the weather before summer, Cao Qinmo was sweating, An Lingrong's eyes were obviously gentle and gentle, but she had a feeling that she had nowhere to hide. She tugged at the corners of her mouth vigorously before laughing: "Thank you sister for reminding me, sister, I must think about it when I go back." She took the brocade box again, "Sister, what good things have you made for Wen Yi again?" ”

"This is for my sister." An Lingrong said with a smile, "Seeing that it is about to enter summer, it is inevitable that the fat powder will feel sticky on the face, this potpourri is condensed by taking spring flowers, and adding pearl powder, etc., which can not only moisturize the skin but also radiant, and it is the most easy to use in summer." Be careful, and hope that my sister will not dislike it. ”

Cao Qinmo was secretly warned, and now he was flattered again, and with a turn of his eyes, he understood An Lingrong's meaning, and accepted it with a smile: "In this case, then I won't be polite to my sister." ”

After Cao Qinmo left, An Lingrong put away his smile and asked people to take out all the things Cao Qinmo had used.

"Little master, since she is so ignorant, why do you still talk to her so well?" Dill kneaded An Lingrong's calf, a little incomprehensible.

An Lingrong spent a lot of energy, and at this time he leaned lazily on the couch with his head back, just smiled when he heard the words, opened his eyes and glanced at dill, and turned his eyes to look at Cuiyin: "You come on." ”

"Little master, this is a mallet and a crispy date." Cuiyin smiled and explained to Dill listen, "The little lord warned Cao Guiren, don't make small moves under the eyes of the little master, her thoughts, the little lord has a clear heart, and she has made another gesture of goodwill, it is to reach a consensus with Cao Guiren, as long as Concubine Hua is overthrown, she and the little lord will be you to take your single-plank bridge, and I will cross my Yangguan Road, and there will be no more trouble." ”

Dill nodded understandingly.

An Lingrong lowered his eyes and said lightly: ""Zhong Shuo" said: Eli intersects, and when the profit is exhausted, it is scattered. Intersect with potential, and tilt when defeated. The right intersects, and the right is lost. Fellowship with affection, and hurt with affection. Only by communing with the heart can it become long-lasting. Cao Qinmo is a person, who intersected with Concubine Hua to protect himself by using her power, and intersected with me because it was profitable, such a person seems to be all-encompassing, but in fact he is extremely selfish, and he must not have a deep friendship with him. ”

"I understand, the little lord and the concubine and the concubine are friends with their hearts." Dill draws inferences.

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the cardamom outside the window, and his smile faded by three points: "Hasn't the cardamom been out of the Spring Palace for the past few days?" ”

Dill also smiled: "Yes." She was the youngest and had spent the longest time with her master, so she was very scared. ”

"You both go out and let Cardamom in." An Lingrong rubbed his eyebrows. Cardamom didn't run out these days, so she couldn't receive a lot of news, and she had to go to the queen every day to ask for trouble, and she was really tired and panicked.

Dill called Cardamom in and replied, and waited outside the door.

I don't know what An Lingrong said to Cardamom, when he went in, he still looked wilting, and when he came out, he was already resurrected with full blood, and he walked out like a wind under his feet, only one step at a time.

"Little master, what are you talking to Cardamom?" Dill walked in in surprise and asked.

An Lingrong only smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." Then she stretched long and yawned, "Go and tell the queen mother, I'm not feeling well, and I'll start taking a month off tomorrow." I'll go to bed first. ”

"Little master, you can't sleep like this, I've finally gone out and taken two more steps recently." Dill hurriedly grabbed An Lingrong, "Aunt Fen Ruo, hmm-"

An Lingrong hurriedly covered Dill and pushed her out with his backhand: "I'll sleep for an hour, be good, go play by yourself." ”

Cuiyin stood under the porch and couldn't help laughing.

The days of the harem seem to be comfortable, but the previous dynasty is becoming more and more turbulent.
