"The emperor has arrived—"

At the end of the audience, everyone had not dispersed, and suddenly heard a singing outside, the emperor had just come down from the morning court, and everyone stood up and saluted: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with gold." ”

"Get up." The emperor helped An Lingrong to get up as usual, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to be flat.

This move, everyone has long been accustomed to it, even Ying Changzai, who has never seen this scene, and Song promised to abide by the rules and didn't dare to look more, only Min agreed, looking at the emperor and An Lingrong's warm and affectionate appearance with burning eyes, and a trace of ambition flashed in his eyes.

"The emperor has just come down to the court, why are you in such a hurry to come?" The queen gave up her seat and took a seat on the side.

"This morning, Ortai and Ma Qi argued, I heard it, it was still related to the heir, I was really tired of hearing it, so I thought about coming over and talking to the queen, I never thought that you were not here yet." The emperor sat down with a calm face, his gaze swept over the queen's stiff face, and he snorted lightly, "What does the queen think about this matter?" ”

Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, the previous dynasty has been arguing for nearly four months, and the emperor is really annoyed, who is behind this, he knows very well in his heart. Recently, Hongshi has become more and more out of tune, a few days ago the emperor asked him a few words of homework, Wei Zheng's "Ten Thoughts of Taizong" memorized fluently, but when asked "Taizong how to do it by hanging his clothes and giving it over", he was hesitant for a long time, and he didn't hold back half a word.

That's it, Ortai has repeatedly argued that "the third elder brother is diligent and easy to read, and he can be worthy of the position of the prince", which is just nonsense!

was questioned by the emperor in public, the queen was a little unable to get off the stage, her face was pale, she knew that this matter was in a hurry, and after thinking about it for a while, she said slowly: "The canonization of the crown prince is related to the country, and the concubines dare not speak falsely." Now the emperor has seven elder brothers under his knees, the third elder brother is older, the fourth elder brother is diligent, the sixth elder brother is smart, and the seventh elder brother, eighth elder brother, and ninth elder brother are still young, but the emperor is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no need to rush for a while. ”

Only then did the emperor's face soften slightly: "The queen's words are reasonable." ”

An Lingrong watched the queen's face slow down, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are many happy events this year, seeing that Huai Shu is about to get married in a month, does the emperor want to be promoted to the position of a nobleman?" ”

"Xingui people have been driving for many years, and they have always kept their duties, and this grace is to be given." The emperor was in a better mood, and his tone was much more relaxed, "Then on the day of Huaishu's wedding, I will also promote Xin Gui as Xin Concubine." ”

Xin Guiren was overjoyed, and got up to thank him: "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." ”

"Now there are many children in the palace, but Huai Shu is the first big wedding, so she has to handle it well, Concubine Xi, this matter will be handled by you and Concubine Jing." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and said with a smile, "You can practice your hands before Huai Shu's marriage, so that you won't be in a hurry when you handle Haoyue's marriage in the future." Then he asked, "Is Hongyang still crying lately?" Is Hongzhao fragrant? And Lingxi, did you sleep well? ”

Zhen Huan smiled: "The nurses take care of them very carefully, and everything is fine." ”

"Lingxi is well-behaved, always sleeps until dawn, the emperor doesn't have to worry." An Lingrong also said with a smile.

"The emperor loves his young son and is a model of a loving father." The queen pursed her lips and smiled, got up and made a big salute, "The concubine congratulates the emperor on adding Lin'er, the concubine of Yonghe Palace, who has been pregnant for more than a month." ”

"Really?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment.

With an inexplicable smile on the corner of the queen's mouth, she nodded and said, "The imperial doctor has already diagnosed the pulse, it is true." Everyone got up and said hello, the queen looked back at An Lingrong, and said with a smile, "Indeed, as Concubine Rong said, there are many happy events this year, why don't you take this opportunity to mention the position of Concubine Jin?" ”

"Concubine Jin has been quiet since she was punished last time, and now she is pregnant, but she is really angry." Ning Guiren didn't care about the queen's face, and opened his mouth to say cool words, "I don't know, I thought she had a premeditated plan." ”

"Concubine Jin has not been favored for a long time, but she will have it as soon as the emperor goes, and it is her blessing." The queen didn't think so, in her selfish heart, of course she didn't want Concubine Jin to conceive a child, but she had everything, she naturally had to make the best use of it, "Now there are many concubines in the six palaces, and there are only two concubines and concubines, and there is no obstacle to adding another one." The emperor, Concubine Jin has a good temperament, and she was born in a family, in order to ensure the stability of the dragon fetus, the concubine asked Jin Concubine Jin to be the concubine. ”

"The concubine should have four ......," the emperor pondered for a while, "It's okay." ”

Always compensate the Tong family.

The emperor made a final decision, but Zhen Huan was worried about it, and at the same time, with a little confusion, she still didn't figure it out after returning to Yongshou Palace: "How can Concubine Jin be pregnant?" She had obviously taken polypin pills, and that thing hurt her body very much, how could she still get pregnant? Could it be that it is really the favor of God? She frowned, her heart very irritated, "After all, although that thing hurts, it may not be sterilized." ”

"Perhaps, the emperor only got the ninth elder brother this year, but he also has a concubine in half a year, but I am afraid that I will be happy in my heart." An Lingrong slowly poured a bowl of lotus leaf soup for Zhen Huan, "Sister drink the soup slowly, this lotus leaf soup is taken from fresh tender lotus leaves and picked before sunrise, and the water used to boil the soup is the dew on the lotus leaves, which are all newly harvested this year." ”

"The emperor is naturally happy, he is so angry with the queen because of the matter of establishing an heir, but for the sake of this child, he agreed to the queen's request to ask Concubine Jin for the title of concubine." Zhen Huan took a sip slowly, and her eyes lit up suddenly, "This soup is so sweet, you teach me, I want to eat it lightly recently." After pondering for a while, she said again, "However, why do I think the queen doesn't attach much importance to Concubine Jin's birth?" According to my understanding of the queen, I should wait for the concubine to sit firmly before publicizing it, and now that she is only a little more than a month, the queen can't wait to tell the emperor. ”

An Lingrong also tasted it: "Yes, what is the difference between this and handing the target to the shooter on the training ground?" As soon as the words came out, An Lingrong suddenly realized, "Concubine Jin is afraid that she is a child who is conceived on her own initiative, and the queen is angry in her heart, this is to use us as a gun." ”

"How dare she think about it." Zhen Huan sneered, turned to look at An Lingrong and said, "However, the queen mentioned that the concubines of the sixth palace are hanging today, but it reminded me that you and I are in the position of concubines, and others will forget it, Sister Duanfei was the first to start serving the emperor, and when it comes to seniority, even the queen has to give up three points, and now she is behind us, I sometimes think about it, and I feel ashamed." ”

"What does my sister mean is to ask for the position of imperial concubine for Sister Duan?" An Lingrong hesitated slightly, "There has never been a precedent for the imperial concubine to be hungry in this dynasty, how can my sister talk to the emperor?" ”

"Didn't the queen say that? There are many concubines in the six palaces. Zhen Huan smiled slyly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly, "It just so happens that when Hongyang was 100 days old, the emperor once granted amnesty to the world and rewarded hundreds of officials, but he did not seal the harem, so he continued to mention the matter of sealing the six palaces from the beginning, and suppressed the limelight of the concubines and concubines." ”

An Lingrong was surprised, and suddenly laughed: "Sister's move is really powerful, I'm afraid that the queen will go crazy." "It's a pity that Sister Mei is gone, although she is a concubine, but Sister Mei's words have not been decided, which is really wronged." ”

"yes." Thinking of Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan couldn't help but burst into tears.

I don't know how Zhen Huan said to the emperor, Concubine Jin's will to seal the concubine has just been sent to Yonghe Palace, and the news of the six palaces has spread to the palaces, the emperor has named Concubine Duan as the imperial concubine, Ning Guiren Shun Guiren has been named a concubine, Ying Chang is in Kang Chang is a noble person in Jin, and even Sun promised to be a nobleman, and the Xin Guiren who was only a concubine was directly promoted to Concubine Xin, and Concubine Jing was not promoted to the title of concubine, but it was a ceremony that was compared with the concubine, ranking first among the three concubines.

In addition, the emperor also posthumously crowned Dunsu Guifei as the imperial concubine, Concubine Qi as the concubine, Zhen Concubine Min and Concubine Xiang as the concubine, and set the word Shuxian as the nickname of Hui Guifei to mourn.

For a while, the six palaces were boiling, and only the queen was so angry that she lost her manners and smashed a whole set of tea sets, but on the day of the canonization ceremony on October 15, she still sat in the main hall of Jingren Palace meticulously to accept the concubines, but she knew very well in her heart-

From today on, this harem is the world of Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

Eagerly sent Huai Shu away, An Lingrong returned to Weiyang Palace near dusk, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Dill leading Ying Guiren to wait for her.

"The concubine asks for peace to the concubine, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." The noble Ying changed into homely clothes, and gave An Lingrong a big gift in a lively manner, "I have to be taken care of by my mother, and the concubine has come to thank you." ”

"The grace of the Great Seal Six Palaces was asked for by Concubine Xi of Yongshou Palace for you, why did you come to thank this palace?" An Lingrong asked her to get up with a smile, but she also knew that she had guessed the relationship between herself and Zhen Huan, but she just said one more thing on her face, "Come in and sit." ”

Ying nobles followed An Lingrong into the Chengxi Palace.

"You came out of the Guojun Palace, and you have only been in the palace for two months, and you have been promoted from a noble person to a nobleman, and you can be regarded as the first one in this palace." An Lingrong smiled lightly and motioned for her to sit down, "Are you still used to living in this palace?" If there is anything lacking, send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for it. ”

"There is nothing missing from concubines." Ying Guiren lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, her fair face was shallow pink, and the sunset came in through the window, illuminating her face half bright and half dark, "Since Niangniang knows the identity of dill and cardamom, then the concubine has nothing to hide from Niangniang, Seventeen Fujin let the concubine enter the palace in order to let the concubine kill the third elder brother and cut off the hope of the emperor's heir." ”

What Ying Guiren said was too shocking, An Lingrong was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, and she repeated it in disbelief: "Seventeen Fujin let you kill the third elder brother?" Seeing that the noble Ying nodded, he asked again, "Why?" In addition to the third elder brother, the emperor also has six elder brothers, how can he cut off the hope of the heir? ”

"The fourth elder brother is from a humble background, the fifth elder brother behaves dissolutely, and the rest of the elder brothers are still young, only the third elder brother has the most hope of being canonized as the prince, and the seventeenth Fujin said that as long as she gives birth to a son, the plan can be implemented one by one, and before that, there must be no prince." Ying Guiren said slowly.

"What's the plan?" An Lingrong couldn't help but have some hairs standing up.

Ying Guiren looked at An Lingrong fixedly, opened his mouth and said word by word: "Usurpation." ”

An Lingrong gasped fiercely, her ears were like thunder, and a heavy chill swept down her back, and suddenly she thought of Zhen Huan - does King Guojun really love her or do you want to use her? used her to spy on the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, used her to control the emperor's harem, and used her to cover up her ambitions, does Zhen Huan know or not know all this?

"King Guojun has always been ambitious, he raises dead soldiers, privately trains soldiers and horses, recruits strategists, forms parties for personal gain, military power, and he has been involved in military power, and Seventeen Fujin has been helping the prince when he was still Miss Meng's family, selecting beautiful women to be sent to officials as concubines, so as to expand his contacts." Ying Guiren lowered his eyes, "And I and Cailan, Caining, and Caidie were originally scheduled to be sent to the palace, compared to others, we have practiced a skill, and we entered the palace to kill the king, but we never wanted to delay for so many years......"

"What's the reason?" An Lingrong calmed down and asked carefully.

Ying Guiren raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a clear light: "The prince fell in love with a person, and he abandoned the great cause that he had planned for many years without hesitation. ”

An Lingrong's heart was relieved.

Fortunately, he really loves his sister.
