"Your Majesty, Ning Guogong's disrespectful remarks have been unseemly, and he has lost the face of the prince, and the concubines ask the emperor to punish him severely!"

Ning Guifei left the banquet, her face was annoyed, she knelt on the ground, and stared at Jiang Guifei's eyes as if they were on fire.

Zuo Prime Minister Zhao Heju couldn't bear the humiliation, and he stepped down from his seat with an angry face, and no matter how elegant the Wenchen was, he was also angry and decent, his face was bruised, and his voice was angry, "The minister asks the emperor to call the shots!" ”

There were two high seats in front, and Jing Anhou couldn't sit down, even if he was embarrassed, he also left his seat, and knelt down respectfully, "Please ask the emperor to be the master!" ”

Jiang Guifei was arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, and her face turned pale and white to the officials with real power, swallowed her saliva, and knelt down, "Your Majesty, my father is drunk with wine, and I have made an unintentional mistake, please forgive my father!" ”

"Unintentional?" Ning Guifei snorted coldly, an hour ago, this slut relied on the dragon in her womb to make a stumbling block for herself, how could she escape so easily.

Zhao He raised his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong is dissolute by nature, and he has repeatedly forced him to marry a woman from a good family. If it weren't for the emperor's sage, even if the king of northern Henan arrived, I am afraid that it would have made a big mistake! ”

"Pile by pile, the emperor has forgiven Ning Guogong, but Ning Guogong does not repent, and he commits it again and again, and the minister asks the emperor to deprive him of the title of Duke of Ning Guo to set an example!"

"Don't!" After listening to Cheng Chi's statement, Concubine Jiang realized that her father had made so many big mistakes, which made people grasp the handle. She has always been proud of her family background, if her family background is relied on, how can she fight with the harem concubines!

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Jiang's face turned pale and her voice trembled, "Your Majesty, the concubine's father must have been framed, and someone must have harmed the concubine's father!" ”

She thought about it quickly, her father's behavior was no different from eating the wine, and she clearly gave the wine to Jiang Wanfu, why it fell into her father's belly.

"It's Jiang Wanfu!" Her eyes straightened, and she suddenly turned her attention to the woman sitting in the back, "It's you, it's you who hurt my father!" ”

These words attracted everyone's attention, and it was not until they saw the face that was somewhat similar to that of Ning Guogong that they remembered that there really was a concubine in Ning Guogong's mansion.

Wanfu's eyelashes twitched, and tears fell, "Why did my sister say this, my sister's father is also my father, why did I hurt my father......?"

"Slut, it's not because I ......" Concubine Jiang's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes were jealous, and she gritted her teeth secretly.

"Alright." Li Xuanyin's face was cold, and his eyes swept over everyone.

There was such a shameless thing at the palace banquet, and the face of the royal family was not good-looking, and everyone present hung their heads, as if they were cold.

Li Xuanyin got up, got down the imperial steps, and personally helped up Concubine Jiang, which was enough to give her dignity. The tip of Jiang Guifei's nose was sour, and she endured it so that she didn't cry. Li Xuanyin clapped her hands, but the next sentence made her feel frightened, and her face turned completely white.

"Ning Guo's public and private morality is not in order, bullying the king, should have been imprisoned, remembering that his ancestor followed the Tai// ancestor has merit, and his daughter Jiang is virtuous and gentle, I balance his merits and demerits, and deprive him of the title, and the heir will never be able to inherit the title."

Concubine Jiang's heart sank, and her face was like earth in an instant.

……

The palace banquet hastily dispersed, and Wanfu's initial excitement had long since disappeared, and she pinched the note in her palm, and her heart couldn't stop beating wildly, like a drum.

Wanfu had never been to the bamboo forest since the frost fell into the water, and she asked Qiandai to stay outside, biting her lower lip lightly, and her footsteps couldn't help but walk around in the forest, and the note was sweat-stained in her palms, and she was so nervous that she didn't even have time to wonder if this was another calculation by others. She closed her eyes, her face turned white and red, it was a cold day, but fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

At last, there was the sound of footsteps in the depths of the forest, and she looked at it with a staggered eye, and when she saw the face clearly, her lips were white, her hands trembled slightly, and her throat was tight, as if she had seen it in a dream, but her legs seemed to be frozen, and she could not move.

The man had come with the bamboo forest on his back, and the night had cast a shadow over his countenance, but his eyes were as gentle as when he looked at her.

"Misty."

Yu Jinzhi's voice was hoarse, his arms were open, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a smile, but looking at her current appearance, it was difficult to laugh.

Wanfu's lips trembled, and a teardrop snatched out of her eyes, crossed her cheeks and fell to the ground, silent, aggrieved, and unadulterated with false calculations.

"Little uncle!" Wanfu threw herself into the man's arms, all the pain, surprise, distress, grievances...... Burst out in an instant. Only then did she realize that she hadn't cried so freely for a long time.

Yu Jinzhi stroked the hair and temples of the woman in her arms, and the beaded jade and silk silk under her palm all showed her current status. His heart was clenched, with a thick sourness, and he patted her shoulder with his palm, "Silly girl, my little uncle is here, don't cry." ”

Wanfu has been like this since she was a child, she is squeamish and loves to cry, and the more others say, the more she cries. Tears sparked her makeup and hair, and wet Yu Jinzhi's robe, she pulled the hem of the man's clothes, raised her face, and hid a trace of expectation in her eyes, and her palms wiped the tears from her face at will, "Little uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and grandfather, Auntie, they are ...... now."

She didn't say anything, her little hand clenched the man's sleeve tightly, and she had a little hope that the little uncle was still alive now, so were the others still alive...... The hope was too slim for her to say the word.

Yu Jinzhi's heart is sour, the pearl of the Yu family's palm, he holds it in his hand, and he has held it from childhood to adulthood, but now he is the emperor's concubine, and he wants to mix into the deep palace of cannibalism, and compete with the women of the harem for holy favor.

His eyes were red, the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, he suddenly turned his face away, he couldn't bear to look at the person in his arms, and said in a dumb voice: "The bones of my father, brothers, and sister are far away in Yuezhou. ”

The words were so heavy that Wanfu couldn't breathe, she froze for a moment, tears silently rolling down her cheeks, she had already seen it with her own eyes, hadn't she? What to expect.

Wanfu closed her eyes, "Who is ......?" her lips twitched, her body trembled and weakened, and if it weren't for the arm behind her waist, she would have slumped on the ground.

Yu Jinzhi couldn't bear to tell her this fact, and he checked for a long time before he found out the truth, and she was the man's biological daughter.

His arms tightened, and his heart seemed to be hanging with a knife blunt, "Jiang Quan is looking for flowers and asking willows, and he owes gambling debts in private, and the Ningguo Mansion is not a prosperous family back then, and it has long been unable to make ends meet." The Yu family was born in a merchant family and had tens of thousands of dollars in Yuezhou, and Ning Guogong listened to the slanderous rumors of the people below, so he took his opinion to the Yu Mansion and designed his father to be shipwrecked at sea, and the Yu family was charged with a crime at will. The elder sister felt guilty and hanged herself, and the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were beaten to death by the people sent by Jiang Quan......"

Wanfu had already guessed that the Yu family's accident had nothing to do with Jiang Quan, but this was the case.

Her eyelashes twitched, and her little face was almost bloodless.

At that time, Yu Jinzhi was still away with his friends, and he was telegraphed, and it was his friends who stopped him, found out the truth, and rescued his brothers, but after all, he was one step too late.

After joining the Imperial Forest Army, until the palace banquet that day, he saw her in the bamboo forest, and she also saw it, and she killed the servant girl with her own hands. The pearl he held in the palm of his hand, he couldn't even bear to eat a hare since he was a child, and in just one year, he actually killed people with his own hands. Shocked, he secretly disposed of the maid's body and sent it out of the palace so that no one would notice it.

He closed his eyes, feeling the thin figure in his arms trembling, and his eyes gradually sank, Jiang Quan, the Jiang family, he will make them pay the price for the Yu family, and pay for the blood debt.

……

Wanfu came out of the forest, her sideburns were crooked, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was embarrassed and depressed.

Qian Dai was worried and had the heart to ask, but seeing the master's expression, she didn't seem to want to say more, so she only held the master's hand, brushed the wrinkled dress, and helped the master back to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion.

……

Ning Guogong's words today were simply appalling, the palace banquet dispersed, and the official wives with broken mouths were all shocked, because they were in the palace, their faces were calm, but if they didn't glance at Jing Anhou's sight, Jing Anhou couldn't help but bury his head in the ground.

When this happens, how can he make people laugh again, and he must divorce his wife first when he goes back. Unlike the Marquis of Jing'an, the Marquis of Wuding took Zhao Heju's sister, Zhao Heju is the current teacher and the favored minister of the imperial court, and no matter how humiliated he is, he does not have the courage to divorce people.

When Luan Yu arrived at Xianfu Palace, Li Xuanyin patted the hand of the woman beside him, "I still have government affairs, and I will come to see you another day." ”

Xu was to appease her, so she sat in Luan Yu and returned to Xianfu Palace. As the words fell, the only hope in Jiang Guifei's eyes was shattered, and she lost her soul and went down the honor guard, and the title was taken away, which meant that the younger brother could only win concealment by taking the test to gain fame, and the family was no longer prosperous, and now, the dragon descendant in her womb became the only hope.

Concubine Jiang closed her eyes, and her armor pierced the flesh and blood, as if she didn't realize it.

"Jiang Wanfu, this palace will never let you go!"

……

Luan Yu returned to the Qiankun Palace, and a new excerpt was presented on the imperial case. Li Xuanyin changed into his regular clothes and sat on the dragon chair to review the folds.

Half an hour later, Chen Dehai came in from outside the palace, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Xuanyin didn't raise his eyes, the red pen dropped two strokes on the fold, and his thin lips opened, "What did she do?" ”

The tone is calm and unwavering, and there is no superfluous meaning.

Chen Dehai didn't want to reply to this, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "Yes and no." ”

Li Xuanyin paused, put down the red pen, leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes made Chen Dehai's heart cold, he hurriedly lowered his head, and said truthfully: "Concubine Jiang Gui was originally drugged in the wine that Ling Chang was in, but the palace people in Jiang Gui Concubine's palace overheard and told Ling Chang to be there. Ling Chang calculated at this time, and let the people in the imperial dining room take the glass of wine to Ning Guogong. ”

During the palace banquet, he noticed that Ling Chang didn't move a bite of food on the table, if it wasn't for Jiang Guifei's punishment of the little palace maid, the palace people would not have reported to Ling Changzai, Ling Chang didn't know, and naturally there would be no follow-up.

Speaking of which, it was Jiang Guifei who lifted a stone and smashed herself in the foot. Jiang Guifei should be glad to have a dragon descendant, otherwise, according to Ling Chang's temper that must be repaid in that jay, it would be Jiang Guifei who lost her dignity today. Losing dignity is a small matter, as a noble concubine, such a scandal in public, I am afraid that I will abolish the concubine position, and I will not be able to raise my head in front of Ling Chang in the future.

This matter can be big or small, it all depends on how the emperor decides, presumably according to the emperor's current situation of favoring Ling Chang, I am afraid that if I take it lightly, Ning Guogong can only suffer this dumb loss.

Speaking of which, Ling Chang also helped the emperor a lot by mistake, and the emperor had intended to weaken the power of the intertwined family, and this deprivation of the title could be regarded as a wake-up call for the family, and it would be good to evaluate the administrative performance in the future.

Second, she can also suppress the arrogance of Concubine Jiang, if she is smart, she should know the emperor's meaning and raise a baby in the palace with peace of mind. Thinking about it this way, Ling Changzai is not only right, but also has great achievements, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

He quietly glanced at the emperor, who was leaning on the dragon chair with an indistinguishable expression, but he expected that the emperor was not angry with Ling Changzai, and if he was angry, how could Ling Changzai stay in the Golden Jubilee Pavilion safely now.

After a long time, Li Xuanyin reprimanded him lightly, "You will pick someone for her." ”

Chen Dehai's cold sweat suddenly wet his back, and he sneered and did not dare to answer. Ling Chang is able to achieve things, and he really has no connections. Qiandai is the aunt in the palace, Qiu Chi used to be an errand in the imperial dining room, and it was easy for the two of them to find an acquaintance to steal the wine.

He shouted in his heart that he had been wronged, and when he first picked someone, the emperor himself opened his mouth and asked him to choose someone who could do things, but at this time, the emperor forgot his original words and picked himself up completely.

"The minions don't dare."

He lowered his head and listened to the emperor's words: "Concubine Jiang is pregnant, and I care about her affection, and she has been promoted to the third rank of Shunyi, and her cousin has been promoted to the fifth grade of talent." ”

Chen Dehai's hands trembled in shock, and he did not understand for a moment whether the emperor had been promoted to the position because Jiang Guifei was pregnant, and by the way, Ling Changzai was here, or whether he was looking for a high-sounding reason for Ling Changzai's promotion.

In any case, this Ling Chang is blessed enough, as soon as he is in the sixth position, he is always there, and he has won the title that others can't ask for. In less than two months, he was promoted by two levels, and he directly crossed the beauty to become a talented person, thinking that the emperor was very happy because of this matter.

Chapter 31

The next day, the little eunuch went to the two palaces to announce the decree, Wanfu did not return to God for a long time, the decree was too sudden, she did not understand, why the emperor did not explain her position without a word.

"Congratulations to the talented master! He Xi Cai master! The little eunuch said happily, Wanfu asked people to stuff the purse, the little eunuch put a cushion in his hand, and smiled more, This talented person is really favored, even this purse is larger than other palaces.

Wanfu narrowed her eyes, covered her lips and smiled, and said tentatively: "The emperor rewarded this time, but he sealed the harem?" ”

If it's a big harem, there's nothing strange about it.

The little eunuch was stunned and said with a smile: "The master is blessed, and the emperor of the entire harem only sealed Jiang Shunyi and Ling Cairen." ”

The master was promoted, and he was happy in the palace, Wanfu asked Qiandai to give them the silver money with a worried face, The master of Ling probably didn't have a lot of money, and there were many people who rewarded him, and after receiving the reward, the palace people would serve more and more effectively in the future.

Wanfu sat on the soft couch, her face was more ugly than crying, she let people out, leaving only Qiandai, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"

Qian Dai couldn't figure it out, eighty percent The emperor noticed what the master did, and if he didn't condemn him, he even gave a reward, and she couldn't understand it.

The holy decree came early, Wanfu had no time to take care of others, although she was promoted, but the greetings to Kunning Palace every day were still rare.

Kunning Palace got the letter, this day to say hello, Wanfu's seat is a little more advanced, it can be regarded as being able to stay away from Chen Changzai, Wanfu feels that this promotion is the first good, no matter what the emperor thinks, at least she has a little more status in this harem.

When Ann dispersed, as soon as Wan Fufu came out of Kunning Palace, she saw a person in front of her.

Ying Concubine was dressed in plain green satin, with a plum hairpin between her sideburns, and the whole person stood softly and weakly under the corridor, and her end was quiet and soft.

Wanfu couldn't help but think that fortunately she didn't enter the palace three years ago, whether it was her style of acting or dressing, she was far from Ying Concubine, and three years ago, she was afraid that she would not be able to enter the emperor's eyes at all.

Even if she was promoted, but the talent was far lower than the concubine, she was blessed, and the concubine nodded slightly, "Sister Ling, can there be anything else?" ”

Wanfu was surprised, when the palace was cold, except for dinner, the concubines rarely talked to her, let alone took the initiative to invite her. Now is different from the past, she is not a down-and-out palace maid in the cold palace, and Ying Concubine is not an abandoned master, the palace is chaotic, and she does not want to get involved in the battle between Ying Concubine and the queen.

"What, Sister Ling doesn't look down on me?" Ying Concubine glanced at her obliquely, and Wanfu knew that she couldn't refuse.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to pass, the imperial garden blooms with all kinds of chrysanthemums, the wind blows, the pear white petals are like stacked clouds and snow, and the garden is full of flying.

Ying Concubine stopped in front of the large group of autumn chrysanthemums, a plain hand stretched out, the sleeves of the green satin fell to the wrist, revealing the fine color tourmaline jade bracelet on the wrist, she pinched the flower stem with her fingertips, picked the best one of them, put it in the palm of her hand, and sighed: "It is said that people are not as good as new, but the face is gone, and the yellow flowers of tomorrow are just flowers." ”

Wanfu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking of the recent past, Ying Concubine took away the few holy graces of the harem women since she came out of the cold palace, and Wanfu only went to bed once, most of the time the emperor went to the Chaolu Palace, why did Ying Concubine say this.

Ying Concubine looked at her silent look and smiled lightly, "You are smart, you will understand what I mean." ”

The two of them did not stay long, and were about to leave, when they heard laughter in the distance, followed by a group of people, the emperor in front of him, and the woman who followed him with an ordinary appearance, but she smiled and smiled, and her every move had a sense of sassiness and neatness.
