"You did it?"

Wanfu was extremely sincere, "The concubine has a lot of cuts on her hands for this bedclothes. She pitifully handed her hand to the man, and it was white and soft, like fine clotted jade. At this time, Qianqian's ten fingers were indeed picked out of the skin // flesh and pierced out.

Li Xuanyin did not doubt her, after all, the bedclothes sewn for him by the harem concubines could almost fill the mahogany cabinet. It's not that no one wants to pity him because of this, and he has long been accustomed to these methods.

He pulled the man in, caressed the slightly invisible opening of the woman's fingertips with his fingertips, lightened his face, and called Chen Dehai with his mouth, "Take the hibiscus paste that went to the southern country of Suinan to pay tribute." ”

Chen Dehai had already expected that Concubine Ling would be the best at following the dragon's beard, no matter how angry the emperor was, when Concubine Ling came, he would always be able to soften his heart.

……

Minse's Temple

Jingcai sat behind the long case, held his daughter's hand, and held the pen on the rice paper, tracing the lonely green pine.

Princess Shunning is young, and she is the most playful, and after painting for a while, her eyebrows and eyes wrinkled in one place, "Auntie, Xi'er's hands are sore, and I don't want to paint anymore." ”

Shunning is only three years old, but he was born with pink carving, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and those eyes are a little like the emperor. In this deep palace, it is not easy for Jingcai to keep a daughter, she was not a full month, accidentally miscarriage, and gave birth to a daughter with difficulty, but was told that it was difficult to get pregnant again. Shunning poured almost all her heart and soul into it.

Fortunately, her daughter is angry, she has a small mouth and can speak, and the emperor favors her, even better than the eldest prince.

Jingcai touched the top of her daughter's hair, "Your father likes green pines the most, and when Xi'er paints it and gives it to his father, he will be very happy." Does Xi'er want to make her father happy? ”

The little tuanzi thought about it seriously, turned around very firmly, and said in a crisp voice, "Xi'er wants to make her father happy, and Xi'er is not afraid of hardship." ”

"That's good." Jingcai kissed her daughter's face and held the soft little hand, "Xi'er paints another one, if the painting is good, A-Niang will take Xi'er to give it to her father, okay?" ”

Shunning's eyes lit up, "Okay, Xi'er will draw well to make her father happy." ”

At this time, Xi Lan came in from outside, turned over, and went to Jing Cai's ear to say a few words.

Jingcai smiled faintly and held Xi'er's hand, "Does Xi'er want to go to his father now?" ”

Xi'er was stunned for a moment, looked at A-Niang, and then looked at the ugly green pine that she painted, and shook her head in confusion, "But Xi'er didn't paint well." ”

Jingcai squatted down and stroked the top of Xi'er's hair, "Father's painting is better than Niang's, how about letting Father guide you?" ”

Xi'er's eyes brightened, and then her little face began to tangle again, "Father is very busy." ”

"Does Xi'er remember that minion last time? She's with your father right now. Soon she will give birth to a younger sister to Xi'er and snatch away her father's favor for Xi'er, is Xi'er willing? ”

How can a three-year-old child understand the twists and turns, only understand that the slave child will rob her father of her favor.

After hearing this, Xi'er shook her head aggrievedly, and quickly cried, "Don't, my father wants to be good to Xi'er alone." ”

"Ah Niang, let's go to my father now, Xi'er doesn't want her sister."

Jingcai wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Okay, A-Niang will accompany Xi'er to see the emperor." ”

……

There were still two stacks of folds on the imperial case, and Wanfu saw it, knowing that the emperor still had government affairs to deal with, and she didn't want to stay in Qiankun Palace for long.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the women of the harem are the emperor's heirs on the surface, and the royal family is prosperous, and to put it bluntly, it is the emperor's pastime.

The emperor didn't know about the battles in the harem, but he was too lazy to take care of them. If you want the emperor to see it, you have to rely on your own ability.

Wanfu was rubbed with hibiscus paste by the emperor, and with a smile, she put the remaining whole box into her arms, "Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." ”

Li Xuanyin looked at her indifferently and unhurriedly: "I told you?" ”

"A satin streamer brocade for a box of hibiscus cream, you really have a good calculation."

Wanfu didn't care about the man's sarcasm, and said softly: "How can this be compared, this bed dress was sewn by the concubine for several days, stitch by stitch, and this box of hibiscus paste was not made by the emperor himself." In terms of friendship, the emperor is not as good as a concubine. ”

This woman was full of rhetoric, Li Xuanyin was too lazy to take care of her, and tapped her eyebrows with her fingertips, "Clever words!" ”

Wanfu bit her lip, quickly covered her forehead and snorted softly, her skin was delicate, and such a poke really left a little red mark. Li Xuanyin didn't care about her, this person has always been pretending, how much strength he used, he had his own measure.

At this time, Chen Dehai came in and said, "Your Majesty, Jingcai is out with Princess Shunning to ask for a meeting." ”

Wanfu was stunned, and when she mentioned Jingcairen, her forehead seemed to remember that day when she was smashed by a small golden hammer, and the emperor loved Princess Shunning, so naturally she had to let everything, and she, the favorite concubine, had to stand aside.

Jingcai people have such a little princess, which is equivalent to having a talisman. But...... The emperor has not regained the position of a talented person for a long time, how long can she still raise Princess Shunning?

"Now that Jingcai is here, the concubine will return to the palace first." Wanfu didn't want to stay longer, and she didn't want to bump into Princess Shunning.

Li Xuanyin glanced at her and said lightly, "You stay." ”

……

When Jingcai people entered the palace, they saw the emperor sitting behind the imperial case, reviewing and reviewing the folds. The sleeves of Concubine Ling were rolled up, revealing her plain white wrists, her eyes were lowered and her eyebrows were lowered, and she was grinding ink. Red sleeves add fragrance, but that's it.

When she had not yet given birth to Shunning, she went to the Qiankun Palace to bring soup to the emperor and asked for service, but the emperor refused her on the grounds that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and sent her back to the palace in three or two sentences.

And now, the emperor not only left the concubine, but also let her serve by his side.

Jingcai tightened his palms, and the jealousy in his heart rose again.

Wanfu focused on grinding the ink and didn't look at the mother and daughter duo below. Immediately afterwards, I heard a crisp childish voice, "Is my father busy, Xi'er painted my father's favorite pine and cypress, do you want to see it?" ”

The little ball was tightly wrapped, leaning on Jingcairen's side, and the older he grew, the more his eyebrows and eyes looked like the emperor.

Although Jingcai was stupid, he gave birth to a good daughter, such a well-behaved little ball, but Wanfu remembered the little doll that her aunt gave birth to with difficulty, if she was still alive, it should be like this, pink and jade, and lovely.

Wanfu looked stunned, the little group had already run up the imperial steps, still small, not to the height of the imperial case, tiptoeing, laboriously spreading the rice paper in her arms onto the imperial case.

"A-Niang said that my father likes pines and cypresses the most, and Xi'er has painted a lot, and this one is the best-looking, so I gave it to my father."

The little dumpling is eccentric, the ice and snow are smart, and if you have such a little daughter, your heart should melt.

Li Xuanyin took her daughter into her arms, pointed to the pines and cypresses on the imperial case, and patiently asked, "These are all painted by Xi'er?" ”

Princess Shunning nodded first, and then shook her head, "It was A-Niang who held Xi'er's hand and taught Xi'er to draw it one by one." If my father likes it, Xi'er will be happy. ”

Li Xuanyin raised her lips and stroked the top of her daughter's hair, "Xi'er is very good-looking, and my father likes it very much." ”

At this time, Princess Shunning saw Wanfu who was waiting for pen and ink on the side, her mouth was curled, and she was about to cry, "Father, Xi'er doesn't want a sister, and my father doesn't want a sister with her......"

Who she is is is self-evident.

Li Xuanyin's expression became cold, and he looked at Jingcai who was standing at the foot of the imperial stairs, and the latter knelt on the ground with his palms tightened, "The emperor forgives the sin, Xi'er is young, and she is used to being the only princess in this harem, and when she is older, she will understand." ”

Wanfu stood without caring about herself, Princess Shunning was only three years old, how could she understand such a complex human heart in the harem, who taught these words, it goes without saying.

It's just that she doesn't understand why the emperor wants her to stay.

Li Xuanyin hugged Shunning and asked softly: "Why doesn't Xi'er want a sister, Xi'er is alone in the palace, don't you want to find a playmate?" ”

Princess Shunning turned her simple little head, she couldn't figure out such a complicated problem, she wanted a playmate, but the playmate would take away her father's favor.

After weighing the two phases, Xi'er struggled for a while before she looked at Wanfu and said aggrievedly: "Xi'er doesn't want her and her father's sister. Her father likes her, and once she has a sister, she doesn't want Xi'er. ”

Wanfu raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

Li Xuanyin patiently wiped away the tears on her daughter's face, and calmed down: "Tell my father why Xi'er doesn't like Concubine Ling." ”

Jingcai's heart was full of sighs, and he never expected that the emperor would do this for his concubine. The emperor favored Xi'er very much, and when he met a concubine that Xi'er didn't like in the past, the emperor also fulfilled Xi'er's wish, and gradually became estranged. What's so good about Concubine Ling, the emperor loves Concubine Ling so much, and even can't bear to let her be separated from Xi'er's mother and daughter!

Xi'er cried so much that she didn't understand the different thoughts of adults, and her little head thought about it, but she couldn't think of the reason. Why don't you like her?

She racked her brains, clasped her fingers, and said in a tangled voice, "Because of her, my father wants to take Xi'er away from A-Niang and give it to someone else." The emperor likes her, and his father wants to give birth to a sister with her, and with a younger sister, his father doesn't like Xi'er. ”

Li Xuanyin's tone was unhurried, "Who told Xi'er about these?" ”

Jingcai's face turned pale, "The emperor ......"

She didn't say a word, but she touched the emperor's cold eyes, and she was silent, but her body was shaking, she was afraid, afraid that the emperor would take Xi'er away from her again for the sake of concubines.

Xi'er looked at her father, and then at A-Niang below, and suddenly felt a little scared, "Father, why is A-Niang kneeling?" The ground is cold, and the father and emperor let Ah Niang get up. ”

Jingcai's eyes were filled with tears, her appearance was mediocre, her family background was mediocre, before Xi'er, the emperor had been treating her lukewarmly. Her greatest pride is that she gave birth to this daughter, but it is precisely because of Xi'er that she can no longer give birth to a prince and a prince.

Li Xuanyin opened his mouth and asked Jingcai to get up.

He said calmly: "Xi'er knows why my father loves Songbai? ”

Shunning shook his head.

Li Xuanyin took her daughter's chubby little hand and landed on the rice paper, "The year is cold, and then I know that the pine and cypress will wither." After winter, the grass and trees are yellow, and only the pines and cypresses are the same, and they will drop their leaves in spring. ”

"The cold year is a chaotic world, the pine and cypress are the gentlemen of the troubled times, the villain is easy to pervert, and the gentleman does not change his ethics. Only a gentleman can cultivate himself to govern the country and level the world, his father wants to be a gentleman like Songbai, is Xi'er willing to be like his father, like a gentleman like Songbai? ”

The little Shunning couldn't understand the deep meaning of the words, but she was touched by the eyes of her father.

Shun Ning nodded vigorously, "Xi'er wants to be a gentleman like his father!" ”

Li Xuanyin gently stroked the top of her daughter's hair, "Xi'er must know that a gentleman must be tolerant, can Xi'er really do it?" ”

"Yes, Xi'er can do it!" Shunning's eyes lit up.

Li Xuanyin said again: "My father will not have only one daughter, but Xi'er will always be the daughter that my father is most proud of and loves." If Xi'er has younger brothers and sisters in the future, and the father wants Xi'er to help take care of it, is Xi'er willing to take care of it and tolerate her younger brothers and sisters? ”

Shunning was entangled for a while, and his eyes slowly became firm, "Xi'er is willing, Xi'er will take care of her younger brothers and sisters!" ”

"Okay." Li Xuanyin raised her lips slightly, hugged Shunning and looked at Wanfu who had been standing next to her, "My father has never treated Xi'er harshly because of his concubines, nor will he treat Xi'er coldly because he has other heirs, Xi'er is the most tolerant." ”

"Concubine Ling, like your mother, is the concubine of the emperor, not a slave who allows Xi'er to beat and scold, can Xi'er remember?"

Wanfu realized something, looked at the emperor's eyes, and her heart moved slightly, a little stunned. The emperor's move was indeed beyond her expectations.

Shunning is very smart, her father has never spoken to her so seriously, her little head can probably be turned around, she has done something wrong, she shouldn't hate Concubine Ling so much.

She nodded cautiously, with a look of admitting her mistake, "Xi'er remembers." ”

When the words fell, he glanced at Wanfu awkwardly, and whispered: "Xi'er is wrong, don't be angry with Xi'er." ”

It was this soft sentence that Wanfu understood why the emperor favored Princess Shunning so much. Even though Jingcai is not smart and beautiful, it is undeniable that she gave birth to a good daughter.

……

Jingcai led Princess Shunning out of Qiankun Palace, Wanfu was still grinding ink in the same place, and the emperor did not let her go.

However, a few concubines came, and a late afternoon passed, and Wanfu understood why the emperor didn't like the harem to come to this Qiankun Palace. If everyone follows suit, how can the emperor have time to deal with government affairs.

Li Xuanyin leaned on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression tired.

Wanfu stood behind sensibly, her fingertips fell softly, kneading the corners of the man's forehead, smoothing the wrinkled dark lines on her eyebrows, "The concubine doesn't know that the emperor is also very good at raising children." ”

Suddenly, a big palm grabbed her hand, and Wanfu didn't move, letting it play.

"Xi'er has a pure and kind nature, but she was instigated by others, and it is not a good thing to go on like this in the long run."
