She was not afraid that Jiang Wanyin would lose the dragon descendant, but that she was afraid that the emperor would settle this account on her own head and then affect herself.

Let Jiang Wanyin be aborted, there are ways to do it, why dirty your hands, and dislike the emperor in vain.

However, if Yunying is really as she said, she has an old enmity with Jiang Wanyin, and according to her temperament, why did she stop Chunhe.

She pursed her lips, her eyes deep in thought.

In the two months of the cold palace, Yunying brought her food every day, rain or shine, and the food was better than that of the palace people. At that time, Ying Concubine also pointed out that Yunying was a capable person. At that time, Wanfu didn't take it to heart, after all, Yunying was a second-class girl beside Jiang Wanyin, she had been in the palace for a long time, and it was a little convenient, and others would give her this face.

If Yunying's fellowship with her was intentional and conspiracy, then who is the person behind her?

Is it the Queen? If it was the queen, why would she stop Chunhe from attacking the dragonborn in Jiang Wanyin's belly?

Is it Ning Guifei? No, no, Concubine Ning can't see that others are pregnant.

It is even more impossible to be a concubine.

Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, Liu Baolin, and Chen Changzai......

Wanfu thought about the concubines in the harem, but she was never able to meet the people behind Yunying. If Yun Ying is not the concubine of the harem, then who would want the dragonborn to survive.

Wanfu's eyes froze for a moment, and the corners of her lips pursed slightly, only that one has the right and the position. The emperor has been in power for five years, and only the queen has raised a son in the harem, and the emperor must attach great importance to the heir. No matter how much Jiang Wanyin did too much, it was also a great achievement to have a dragon heir in her belly.

It was she who was careless and neglected the details of the past, since the emperor has eyeliner in Xianfu Palace, what about other palaces?

Wanfu clenched the note tightly, it seems that she must be extremely careful in her future actions.

But Yun Ying also gave her a wake-up call, and just took advantage of Yun Ying's excuse to quietly get rid of Jiang Wanyin's child. Even if it is the emperor's eyeliner, how can he doubt his own head?

Qiandai Qiuchi and the two glanced at each other, and Qiuchi received the order and bowed his head and withdrew from the hall.

Seeing that the master pondered for a long time, Qian Dai dialed the silver charcoal in the furnace, cleaned her hands with a wet handkerchief, and went over to knead the corners of her forehead to relax and soothe, "Master, rest assured, the emperor is sage, and he will not wronged the master without finding out." ”

She followed her master for several months, and she also understood the discord between her master and Jiang Changzai. The master is not the one who will suffer, but he is clear in his heart and knows what to do and what not to do. Jiang Chang is pregnant with a dragonborn, and the master will never touch that taboo, so he hasn't done anything to Jiang Chang until now.

Not to mention the side, Qiandai's kneading technique is very comfortable, Wanfu retracted her heart, closed her eyes slightly, and looked bitter and hateful, "You don't know, the concubines next to the emperor are either gentle and petty, or arrogant and arrogant, only I, in the emperor's heart, is a scheming woman who dares to be heaven and earth." ”

"You can see yourself." The man's cold voice was in his ears, and he sat up straight in shock, Li Xuanyin had already walked in, Pan Shui followed behind, with a sad face, the saint arrived suddenly, he was going to go in, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him, he was the master's person, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order.

Wanfu glared at Pan Shui secretly, it is not good to do things, she can't pass through, and she can't let others in? She thought about how much the emperor had heard those words, and secretly glanced at the emperor's face.

"The emperor will tease the concubines." Wanfu's eyes were half angry, and she spoke softly, and the charcoal stove in the hall was burning vigorously, adding a blush to her snow-white face, and she was ashamed and green, and she was more seductive.

Everyone else was in a panic, but she was the only one, sitting on a pillow with a thick robe on her body, revealing a face with a big palm, and just looked at him like this, as if she was too lazy to move, and had no intention of greeting him, and there was no rule at all.

The palace people quietly withdrew, Wanfu half lay on a rose narrow couch, she had the purchase of the royal front and Concubine Zhuang in this Golden Jubilee Pavilion, there was no shortage of beds, tables and chairs, everything was according to her preferences. Wanfu arched her body inward, patted the slit left next to her with her little hand, and looked at Li Xuanyin with crooked eyebrows.

She was born petite, and there was still plenty of room to sleep on this narrow couch alone, but the man was long, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and it was really embarrassing to be crowded with her.

When did Li Xuanyin wronged himself, he glanced at Wanfu and naturally sat on the pear wood chair on the side.

Wanfu was not happy, "How can there be a concubine in the pear wood chair, the emperor really won't enjoy it." ”

Li Xuanyin's eyelids jumped twice, and she was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but she caught a glimpse of her sparkling eyes, swallowed the words in her throat, and said with a straight face: "Nonsense." ”

"How can concubines talk nonsense." Wanfu was wrapped in a thick robe, and she was willing to get down from the rose couch, stepping on the ground with her jade feet in snow-white cotton socks, walking up to him in two steps, and as soon as her thin legs were raised, she straddled his waist and abdomen, her eyes blinked, and she said in a coquettish voice: "The emperor doesn't like concubines like this?" ”

Li Xuanyin looked at the woman hanging on his body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it was undeniable that he really liked her like this. Even if he knew her calculations and tactics that relied on his power, when he saw this woman behaving coquettishly in front of him, the anger that arose was irrelevant.

He wrapped his arms around the waist of the person in his arms to prevent her from falling, but his face was still cold, and he sneered, "Do you like it?" ”

Wanfu arched in the man's arms, her arms wrapped around Li Xuanyin's neck slimy, her eyes flowed, and her red cheeks were more delicate than begonia flowers, "Concubines like the emperor to spoil concubines, and the emperor likes concubines to be spoiled by the emperor." ”

"In short, concubines like the emperor, and the emperor also likes concubines."

Li Xuanyin was slightly stunned.

The concubine likes the emperor, and the emperor also likes the concubine......

The weak crown and the queen knotted their hair, and on the same day, Zhao Qiu and the two were taken as side concubines, and the more women in the harem were there, it was not that no one had ever told him that they liked him, but no one had ever said that he was so pleased, and even a trace of unclear meaning crossed his heart, which was fleeting, so that he did not have time to study it in detail.

He stroked the black hair of the person in his arms, and remembered the concubine of the past, when the different parties in the DPRK and China were about to move, and he worked hard all day to do government affairs, secretly plotting, and eradicating dissidents. Becoming more and more impatient with the harem battle, Ying Concubine is docile and behaves properly, not as clingy as her, like an interpretive flower, and being with Ying Concubine makes him feel at ease. It's just that after a long time, there is an estrangement, and that strong affection has faded.

But at this time, such a person came. is not docile, inappropriate, and delicate, and dares to throw his face when he gets angry. He couldn't even tell how this woman was better than Ying Concubine, and he had been in his heart for so long.

Li Xuanyin was silent for a long time, Wanfu quietly raised her eyes, looked into the man's thoughtful black eyes, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What is the emperor thinking?" Could it be that someone is a concubine and still has other concubines in mind? ”

Hearing this, for some reason, Li Xuanyin was inexplicably weak-hearted, and quickly covered up the past, pinching her face with a solemn face, "Others are not respectful to me, only you, whether I like it or not, dare to say anything." ”

……

The holy car did not stay long, and left the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, as if the emperor was just interested in coming up and sitting with her for a while.

After sending the emperor away, Wanfu yawned, sleepiness hit, returned to the dormitory, and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she heard about a major event in the palace, and it was the concubine's birthday in a few days.

When Ying Concubine was honored and favored, on that year's birthday, the emperor invited the best opera troupe in Beijing to sing songs, and covered the court with begonias to celebrate Ying Concubine's birthday, which can be described as supreme glory and envy.

After three years, Ying Concubine came out of the cold palace, although the holy favor is not the same as at the beginning, but it is still glorious, I don't know what the emperor's attitude is at this age. All the palaces sat still, all watching.

Chapter 40

The queen coaxed the eldest prince to sleep, lowered the curtain, and told the grandmother to be optimistic, before walking out of the side hall.

Comb Liu served at the queen's side, glanced at the mother's face, lowered her eyes, and said worriedly: "The emperor also sent a gold bracelet bracelet yesterday, I think it is because of the busy government affairs that I have no time to come, and I also love the prince in my heart......"

"Love?" The queen smiled coldly, the embroidered shoes of the gold-threaded phoenix brocade stumbled, and her figure staggered, and the comb willow was frightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help, only to feel that the palm of the mother's hand was cold.

"If you love it, why don't you have time to summon someone to sleep, and you don't want to come to see Jing'er!" The queen clenched her palms, pinching her wrists and making her wrists hurt, she bit her lip, her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

The emperor is not affectionate to the eldest prince, and even the number of visits is not as good as that of Princess Shunning in the Ming Se Palace. The harem concubines were suspicious, but Comb Liu knew why, and the emperor did not have expectations for this prince, and did not even want him to be born. It's just that the mother never believed it.

In the middle of the night, the queen's eyes were lowered, and she looked at the Buddhist scriptures in her hand through a bright candle, and there was a movement of the little eunuch talking outside, and she closed the scriptures impatiently, "Why is there such a noise?" ”

Comb Liu ran in from outside with a white face, his face hesitant, his eyes flashed slightly, "Niangniang, it's Gonggong Chen from Qiankun Palace who came to spread the word." ”

The queen's palms tightened, and her eyes showed a hint of hope undetectably, and she was quickly removed by her, covering it up very well, and said lightly: "Is it the emperor who remembers the palace?" ”

Comb Liu shook his head, knelt down, and said tremblingly: "The emperor has decreed that the birthday of the concubine should be celebrated." ”

For a long time, I only heard the woman's laughter.

"Hah! Hahaha...... "The queen leaned forward and closed, her chest was trembling, she laughed so much that she almost wanted to squeeze out tears, and the scriptures in her arms fell to the ground, the queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and with a "bang", the queen brushed off the tea cup with the back of her hand, and said sharply: "Why, the emperor is so disgusted with the palace!" ”

Shui Liu trembled in fright, knelt on the ground tremblingly, swallowed his saliva, and cried in a low voice: "Niangniang, the emperor still cares about Niangniang, otherwise how could Niangniang have a concubine, and how could she be in charge of the Six Palaces, and others can't covet it." ”

"Ying Concubine is proud for a while, how can she be proud for a lifetime! She had such a scandal three years ago, why didn't the emperor care! Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry! ”

"Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, and she has a son-in-law by her side, and the queen mother relies on it, why is Niangniang angry with those concubines!"

Combing willow cried and begged, her forehead thumped to the ground, and finally begged the queen to come back to her senses.

"You're right, this palace should endure, endure until the eldest prince is enough to take charge alone, and this palace will clear all obstacles for him."

The queen closed her eyes, a line of tears crossed her face, and her hands were clenched.

Including the emperor who didn't like her.

……

The next day, the queen said about the birthday of the concubine in Kunning Palace. Since the emperor has issued a big order, he naturally wants to be more lively. Ying Concubine was careless about this, and even when the queen asked, Ying Concubine only wrestled with the handkerchief and ignored it. The concubines present looked at the queen's face and did not dare to raise their heads.

"It's up to the mother. I was tired, so I went back first. ”

Ying Concubine flicked her sleeves and got up, but she didn't make a salute, and she didn't turn back out of the inner hall in front of everyone's eyes.

……

As soon as the concubine entered the palace, she entered the holy eye, and the emperor favored her alone, and almost wanted to make her a concubine when she was pregnant. The harem people remembered that at that time, the concubine's grace was jealous. Among them, he knew that the end of the year was fine, and he was disdainful and disdainful, a woman who was in the twilight of Qin and Chu and water-based poplar flowers was also worthy of the emperor to hold a birthday banquet for him?

In the end, the emperor opened his mouth, even if he was jealous and dissatisfied in his heart, he had to endure it, pretend to be smiling, and happily go to Jianzhang Palace to congratulate him.

The birthday banquet was set up in the Jianzhang Palace, and three years ago, the emperor spent a lot of effort on the birthday of his concubine, and invited the most famous opera troupe in Beijing, not to mention, just arranging the colorful begonias in the winter court, which made people break their hearts. However, this birthday banquet was different from three years ago, and the emperor did not have much hands, and most of them were handled by the queen.

Wanfu's seat and Lu Guiren were close to each other, and the two were talking.

Lu Guiren expressed the doubts of most of the concubines in the harem, "Since the emperor is so fond of Ying Concubine, why was Ying Concubine beaten into the cold palace three years ago?" ”

Living in the harem, it is better to be a dumb and deaf person than to talk too much and be wrong. Wanfu was silent, her eyes looked down at the dark shadow in the tea, and she took a sip, and said without caring about herself: "Who knows." ”

Lu Guiren glanced at Wanfu and didn't ask what was in his heart. Before Sister Ling entered Yinshuang Zhai, she served in the cold palace for a period of time, and the person who lived in the cold palace was Ying Concubine. Does she really know nothing?

According to Sister Ling's intelligence, Lu Guiren didn't believe it, she raised her eyes and didn't say anything, Sister Ling didn't tell her, she had her own plans. Knowing too much in the harem is not a good thing.

The two talked for a while, the emperor and the concubine entered the palace together, the banquet began, the queen said that she was sick and did not arrive, the queen has always acted with the safety of the lord of the six palaces, and the person did not arrive, and there was no shortage of congratulatory gifts from the concubine.

Wanfu and Lu Guiren glanced at each other, each speechless, the emperor celebrated the birthday of the concubine, and the queen, as a wife, even if she was disgusted, she could not say anything.

When the song and dance began, the little eunuch outside came in to give a good time, and Concubine Ning was late.

The two of them in the harem are both favored, they look at each other with disgust, and they don't treat each other well.

Ning Guifei was wearing a concubine's gorgeous dress, and the southern red agate with the size of a pigeon egg between her temples was dazzling, Ning Guifei had always been flamboyant, if she didn't know, she thought that this birthday banquet was for Ning Guifei's congratulations.

"The concubine is late, and the emperor forgives the sin." Ning Guifei Danfeng's eyes were opened, and she was arrogant and wanton.

Li Xuanyin nodded lightly and asked the palace people to take a seat.

The queen is not there, and the emperor is sitting on the right hand side of Ning Guifei, and on the left hand side is Ying Concubine.

Wanfu was not interested in the confrontation between the two, she drank her tea with little interest, turned her eyes sideways, and in the afterglow, Lu Guiren glanced at the upper seat without a trace. She paused, and looked at the high position again, the emperor was talking to Concubine Ying, and Concubine Ning was left aside, glared at Concubine Ying fiercely, and drank a glass of wine.

Most of the concubines in the harem had cold faces, but they had a smile in front of the emperor, their eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as water, and they smiled lightly.

Wanfu rarely saw how the emperor and other concubines got along, she recalled the days when she was favored, it seemed that in addition to being injured and punished, she was rarely out of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, and she really didn't know the emperor's attitude towards others.

The emperor and his concubine have known each other for several years, and it is difficult to erase the old friendship after all. Men are always like this, and if they can't get it, they will never forget it, and they will worry about it, like cinnabar in their hearts. Once you get it, after a long time, you will get bored and want to find something new. Ying Concubine was the emperor's former heart cinnabar, and after three years, when the resentment faded, those gentle and interpretive times became the only one.

……

Li Xuanyin instructed Chen Dehai to take the congratulatory gift from the concubine, which was a green jade begonia pattern jade Ruyi, and the jade handle was inlaid with agate, tourmaline, and coral, which was gorgeous and luxurious.

The emperor was simple and had never given such a beautiful thing as a harem concubine, but when the concubine saw it, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. At the birthday banquet three years ago, the emperor gave her a pair of children, which were a pair of concentric knots, meaning eternal union. Although jade Ruyi is gorgeous, it is not as good as the friendship of one heart.

Ying Concubine's eyes drooped, let the peach stamen be put away, and said in a harmonious voice: "The concubine thanked the emperor." ”

Li Xuanyin rubbed the rim of the jade cup with his fingertips, and his eyes moved away lightly and swept downward.

The man was holding his chin in a daze, his little face was stuck to the palm of his hand, his eyes were unblinking, he didn't know what to think, he was so engrossed.
