The queen understood, and answered with a smile: "Yes, Concubine Rong gave birth to a princess......

"The queen will choose a good day and be crowned as a concubine." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhen Huan immediately got up and said: "The first concubine has no merit with Sheji, the second is helpless with the dragon vein, and she doesn't dare to accept this grace, Sister Mei is the assistant to the sixth palace and has worked hard, and Sister Rong gave birth to a princess and has meritorious service, all of them are more qualified than the concubines to be concubines, and I hope the emperor will think twice." ”

"This is not a question of qualifications or not, the concubines are outstanding, and it is understandable to be concubines." The queen looked at the emperor's face and said with a smile, "It's just that the concubine has only been in the palace for three years, and there are no heirs. ”

The emperor has already made up his mind, and there is no room for change: "It's okay, I will be made a concubine, and I will be canonized in sixteen lines next month." ”

Zhen Huan knelt on the ground, and her ears were full of the sound of her own heartbeat, rumbling like rolling thunder in summer. Joy and happiness filled her chest, and love almost rushed down, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, as if she were in a cloud, and the clouds under her feet were unreal. She suppressed her choked excitement and bowed her head to thank her: "Thank you, thank the emperor, thank the queen for her grace." ”

"Sister Guan is overjoyed, Chun'er begged for a reward, and she was happy." Fang Chunyi got up with a smile and said congratulations, arching his hand.

The emperor turned to look at her and chuckled: "You and your sister Guan are happy, you don't have to touch her joy." In Fang Chunyi's surprised eyes, he said slowly, "Let's also be a noble concubine, in addition, Xin Chang has been serving me for a long time, Jin Xin is often a nobleman, and he will be canonized on the same day as Guan Concubine." ”

Fang Chunyi happily knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu glanced at the queen again, "Queen Xie!" ”

The queen looked at Fang Chunyi and smiled gently and lovingly: "I'm going to seal the throne of the first palace, and I'm still so childish, I have to be more stable in the future." ”

"I love her innocent child, and the queen should not be too restrained." The emperor smiled and got up, "It's still early, I'm going to see some excerpts, and the concubines will follow me to serve the pen and ink." ”

"Yes." Zhen Huan got up together, "The concubine retired." ”

The queen also took Fang Chunyi's hand and got up from the couch: "The concubine sends the emperor." She looked at the back of the emperor and Zhen Huan leaving, and her eyes were secretive.

I thought that the emperor wanted to make An Lingrong a concubine, but I didn't expect that in the end, Zhen Huan would be the concubine first, and sure enough, in the emperor's heart, after all, it was my sister who accounted for more weight. The queen's mind turned back and forth, but in a moment, she planned everything in her heart. She raised her hand to summon Jian Qiu: "Go and call the noble Qi to come." ”

Seeing that there was nothing to do with himself, Fang Chunyi got up and retired.

"In the past few days, you have to pay more attention to the concubines, no matter how trivial and trivial, you must immediately report to the palace." Before the queen waved Fang Chunyi to leave, she deliberately commanded.

Fang Chunyi's body was stunned, and he leaned over.

The news that Zhen Huan was about to be crowned a concubine spread instantly, like cooking oil on a fire, and it caused a boom in the harem.

While everyone was busy congratulating Zhen Huan, they inevitably had to pull An Lingrong for comparison, and the Qi nobles even opened their mouths to come, and trampled An Lingrong to worthless, and the emperor was just silent when he knew it, and overnight, the wind direction in the palace changed.

The door of Broken Yuxuan is like a city, and the gate of Weiyang Palace can be full of birds, and the world is different.

"The servants of the Internal Affairs Office are really, they are used to worshipping high and stepping on low, Niangniang is the master of the first palace, how can she prevaricate with these goods!" Cardamom looked at the newly delivered winter coat and blushed with anger.

"It's good, you haven't seen anything worse." Cui Yin looked indifferent, "Anyway, our Weiyang Palace is a small kitchen opened by ourselves, if it is someone else, I am afraid that the imperial dining room will not even give good meals, and send some rancid pickles and steamed buns, and the oil and water earned will go into my own pocket." ”

Dill silently put away the things, put them away, and took out the filial piety sent by the shopkeeper Xun from the library: "Don't bother Niangniang about these little things, just hide everything you can hide, anyway, we don't lack these things." ”

Cardamom and Cuiyin both nodded.

An Lingrong stood at the door, listening to the soft whispers inside, and silently put down the hand that was about to knock on the door.

Behind him, Xiao Yinzi hugged the sixth elder brother and shouted quietly.

An Lingrong raised his hand and "shh She put the sixth elder brother on the couch, and saw the little person sitting steadily, with a blank face and eyebrows and eyes that resembled summer, winter and spring. She couldn't help but soften her voice, "Sixth Elder Brother, wait for Rong Niangniang to take you to see Huang Ama, okay?" ”

The sixth elder brother held his hands together, lowered his head and did not speak.

"Sheep, sheep!" An Kang ran in, holding the ears of the rabbit puppet in his hand, and Fen Ruo hurriedly followed in behind him, shouting "The princess puts on shoes first", but An Kang didn't listen, and climbed onto the couch in a flash, pulled An Lingrong's hand, and retracted into her arms, with a milk voice that had just woken up, "Eyang, there are big cats chasing me!" ”

"Princess, this is a nightmare." Fenruo put the little shoes on the edge of the pedals, and said with a smile, "I found a cat at the root of the wall in the morning, and I don't know which palace raised it, the snow-white hair is shiny and shiny, so good-looking, the princess took the food and teased it twice, and then was chased by the cat, and I didn't pay attention to it and fell, so I still remember it when I fell asleep at noon." ”

An Lingrong smiled, hugged Ankang and coaxed twice: "Okay, Ankang, it's time to wake up, if you don't wake up, you won't be able to sleep at night." She hugged Ankang on her lap and sat down, "Look, your sixth brother came to see you today, the little lazy worm won't get up again, beware of your sixth brother laughing at you." ”

An Kang twisted his buttocks, lay on the coffee table and looked at the sixth elder brother sitting opposite, and shouted inarticulately: "Lu Gu? ”

The sixth elder brother was a little at a loss, waved his hand at An Kang again and again, opened his mouth, but only made a single sound of "ah".

Cuiyin came in at this time and was taken aback when she saw the sixth elder brother in the hall: "Sixth elder brother, why are you here?" She looked at An Lingrong, saw that her eyes were sharp, and she knelt down to ask for sin, "Niangniang forgive me, the sixth elder brother has often come to Weiyang Palace recently, and the slaves and maids see that he is thinly clothed and always hungry, so they often receive some help, thinking that Niangniang will be in a better mood in a few days, and then come to report this matter to Niangniang." ”

"The sixth elder brother is raised in the queen's palace, and it is your turn to help?" An Lingrong's face turned slightly cold.

"Niangniang, it was the slave who came back first with the sixth elder brother." Cardamom ran in from outside and knelt beside Cuiyin, "At the beginning, we will also quietly send the sixth elder brother back, but the grandmothers who take care of the sixth elder brother don't care about the sixth elder brother at all, let him run around, and he doesn't care at all, the sixth elder brother can't eat enough, and he can't wear warm clothes, and the slave and maid can't bear to look at it." ”

Dill also came in and knelt down: "Niangniang, it is the slave and maid who are in charge and hide it from Niangniang, and if you don't do the business of Aunt Cuiyin and Cardamom, if you want to punish the slave and maid alone." ”

An Lingrong looked at the three people kneeling in a row in front of him, and laughed helplessly: "Get up first, when did this palace say that it was going to punish you?" Xiao Yinzi came in with food, she first asked Cuiyin and others to feed the sixth elder brother, and seeing that the three of them were familiar with each other, she knew that this kind of thing was not once or twice, she pondered for a while, and said, "Aunt Fenruo, wait a minute, you take the sixth elder brother to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and explain the matter to the emperor, the group of minions who take care of the sixth elder brother are really too disagreeable." ”

Fen Ruo glanced at An Lingrong and nodded: "Yes." "Now it is not a secret that the queen is disgusted with the sixth elder brother in the palace, but the queen is still doing a good job on the face, but she connived at the subordinates to no longer take care of the sixth elder brother carefully, and she has a posture of wanting him to fend for himself, just waiting for the New Year, looking for a reason to send him to the elder brother's upbringing.

But An Lingrong only ordered "the group of minions who took care of the sixth elder brother", this is pretending to be confused, and he wants to give the queen some eye medicine in front of the emperor, after all, the sixth elder brother is still raised in Jingren Palace, and the slaves are not like words, which is the crime of dereliction of duty by the queen.

The queen didn't know anything about this, and on the night when Fen Ruo took the sixth elder brother to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she used the draft to stab Zhen Huan in the back: "The list of show girls in the primary elections has been submitted, and there are still 472 show girls in total, can the emperor take a look?" She took out a thick roster and handed it to Su Peisheng, "There are also many show girls with prominent families this year, and the Tong family also ran for a show girl this year." ”

"Oh?" The emperor withdrew his eyes from the fold, raised his hand to take the roster, and turned the first page to see Tong Jia's name, "Tong Jia Zhiyan is Long Keduo's niece and granddaughter, he is sixteen years old, and he is willing to do it." The emperor couldn't hear the anger in his tone, but just flipped through a few more pages, "Hu Yunrong, this name is quite familiar." ”

"The emperor has a good memory, this is the granddaughter of Princess Rongxian, and she is also a distant relative of the emperor." The queen said with a smile.

The emperor nodded, and flipped through it casually, which was not interesting, so he put it aside: "The Queen Mother's illness has not been better, and I don't want to be extravagant in the next year's draft, to put it simply, when it comes to the final election, if the Queen Mother is still sick, you will accompany me to the election." ”

"Yes." The queen nodded with a smile, and said, "It's about to be the end of the year, and all the princes' mansions have been rewarded according to the practice of previous years, and the emperor over there in Prince Dun's mansion has rewarded Hongxuan, which can be regarded as accumulating blessings and accumulating kindness." ”

"Hmm." The emperor closed his eyes and nodded, "It was also Concubine Wan who mentioned it, hoping that I would have mercy on Yunyi." ”

The queen was slightly stunned, and hesitated to speak: "The concubine has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"You say yes." The emperor looked at the queen.

"Yes." The queen pursed the corners of her mouth, "The concubine also remembered when she heard what the emperor just said, although the emperor and concubine are favored, sometimes they are out of order." ”

The emperor moved the corners of his mouth slightly: "Hasn't the queen always liked concubines?" What's going on today? ”

"It is precisely because the concubine values the concubine, and she is about to be crowned a concubine, so I have to say." The queen said bitterly, "The emperor just talked about Hongxuan, and the concubines remembered that Hongxuan's knighthood was also reminded to the emperor by the concubines, although the concubines were pleased that the concubines were benevolent, but they were also worried that the concubines should not be in the government." ”

"Hongxuan's matter is also a family matter." The emperor naturally knew that this was a matter of government affairs, but Zhen Huan did come up with a good idea for him, so he still made excuses for her.

"Naturally, it is a family matter, but it is a state affair that allows rebellion." The queen didn't want to lightly expose it, and said, "Since family affairs and state affairs are one, they can't just be regarded as family affairs." It is precisely because of the kindness of the concubine that the concubine is afraid that she will be bewitched and make wedding clothes for others, but she doesn't know it. Now there are rumors in the palace, all of them say that the concubines are interfering in politics and intend to cling to the powerful ministers in the court, although the concubines are strictly prohibited, they can't stop the mouths of the people. ”

"In this way, Concubine Wan and her father are all the way, and they both have compassion for those I don't like." The emperor's face slowly sank, "I heard that Zhen Yuandao disagreed with my handling of Wang Jingqi, saying that it would make the people tremble in their hearts by hanging his head at the entrance of the vegetable market, which is very inappropriate. He has all the people in mind, but he forgets that Wang Jingqi is paradoxical and crazy, and he wrote "Essays on the Western Expedition" bluntly said that Nian Qianyao is the greatest person in the world, and he also vainly said that my year name is not good, implying that I will not have a good end, such a villain, how can I forgive! ”

The queen pressed her smile and said worriedly: "Concubine Wan is smart, and concubines also like it, so I'm afraid that she will go astray." If you say that you know how to advance and retreat in proportion and guard the harem, then the noble people of Zhen and the noble people of Qi are much better than her. ”

"The noble man is gone, when will the noble man be settled?" The emperor frowned, "She is the one who chews the root of her tongue the most in the palace all day long, and the words of arranging Concubine Rong have reached my ears, she still doesn't know how to restrain herself, Zhen Guiren is a year younger than her, and she knows what to say and what not to say." ”

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth paused slightly: "The concubine will talk about this matter with the noble Qi." ”

"Also, the group of minions who took care of the sixth elder brother will all be punished for eighty and sent to the Punishment Division." The emperor closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and didn't see the queen's sudden change, "If it weren't for Fen Ruo hugging him to see me today, I wouldn't have known that the sixth elder brother was trained like this by the minions below, and it was winter, and he was still wearing autumn clothes." ”
