"Why is Concubine Ai here?"

Xu promised to be wrapped in a thick cloak, his cheeks were exposed, he couldn't resist the cold wind, he was white from the cold, but his eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he was a little ashamed in front of the emperor, "The imperial doctor said that the concubine's fetus is a twin dragon and phoenix, and he told the concubine to go for a walk, and it will be easy to give birth at that time." ”

The twins in Xu Xu's womb have long been known in the palace, and when Li Xuanyin heard this, he was not surprised, twisted his fingers, and looked at her quietly.

There were few people on this palace road in the past, and it was cold and snowy, and if she was walking, she would not have been able to walk here. As for the reason, the saint drove to the Guan Ju Palace every day, and I am afraid that someone had already received a letter and was waiting here.

Li Xuanyin raised his eyes, brushed his sleeves and lowered Luanyu, held the woman's hand that was deliberately exposed, and opened his lips and said, "It's cold, I will send you back to Qiushui Pavilion." ”

Xu promised to shrink her hand slightly, but she didn't use force, it was still held by the man in her palm, she quietly raised her eyes shyly and timidly, and lowered her eyes again, "The concubine just heard that the emperor was going to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, and the concubine didn't dare to compete with Sister Ling for the emperor's favor." ”

She screamed affectionately at Sister Ling, and said on her face that she didn't dare to compete for favor, but that hand was nostalgically held by Li Xuanyin, only a pair of eyes raised and fell, and she wanted to speak shyly, which was quite like pushing the boat along the river.

Li Xuanyin glanced at her with a little deep meaning and slightly raised her lower lip. In the harem, this kind of trick is not clever, although he sees through it, but he does not make it clear.

The trivial matters of the previous dynasty had already made him tired, and this woman was far more sensible than that man, he was the emperor of the Ninety-Five, worshiped by all the people, and was accustomed to the obedience and flattery of others.

Shunning almost had an accident, even if it wasn't the woman's intention, but it was a big mistake for her not to report it, if she was someone else, he would definitely not let it go easily, he thought too much, he didn't care about it, and he dared to be so pampered and arrogant!

Accustomed to sitting in a position above 10,000 people under one person, Li Xuanyin didn't have the patience to go to great lengths to coax a woman.

In contrast, at this time, the trick of the person in front of him to compete for favor and please him was particularly comfortable, and he didn't mind giving her this honor.

What's more, she is pregnant, and he can't leave people in this ice and snow.

Therefore, he took Xu Xu's hand, and his face was much softer, "It's okay, I'll go another day." ”

Chapter 60

was originally going to go to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, but the news that he had turned around and went to Qiushui Pavilion spread more and more widely. The next day, the Autumn Water Pavilion was rewarded, and the jewelry, silk and satin, flowed into the temple. Along with this, there was also a canonization decree, promising to be promoted to the position of a noble man overnight.

When Kunning Palace greeted her, Xu Guiren wore a head full of pearls and jade, for fear that others would not know that she was favored.

Xu Guiren's seat is sitting under Ying Concubine, the two are pregnant together, although the emperor also has a lot of care for Ying Concubine, but it is not as fanfare as Xu Guiren, and it is a gift of jewelry, and it is a promotion, and the honor and favor can be seen.

When Wanfu entered the palace, she was almost dazzled by the big ruby on Xu Guiren's head.

When Xu Guiren saw Wanfu, Ying Ying got up, and said with regret: "Yesterday, the concubine was walking outside, and the emperor probably took pity on the concubine when she was pregnant, so he sent the concubine back to the palace. The holy driver was originally going to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, but turned his head and went to the Qiushui Pavilion, and the concubine Ling Gui would not blame the concubine. ”

Xu Guiren's thoughts were almost written on his face, and after listening to her words, Wanfu was not half angry, but helped her sit down with a smile, "Xu Guiren is pregnant, and everything is based on the dragon heir. The emperor values Xu Guiren, and also values the child in Xu Guiren's belly, why should this palace be angry? ”

Wanfu smiled so earnestly that Xu Guiren couldn't tell for a moment whether her behavior had angered her.

"Ah, Xu Guiren's ruby beads are really beautiful, and this palace has never seen such a big ruby."

Wanfu was surprised, causing everyone else to look at Xu Guiren's sideburns.

This big ruby is rare in the world, and Xu Guiren is the most proud. She specially stroked it and smiled shyly, "The emperor said that this ruby is the most flattering to me, and instructed the Internal Affairs Office to be sure to insert it into the pearl hairpin and send it to the Qiushui Pavilion." ”

Wanfu quietly glanced at the concubine Ying who was sitting next to her, and when she withdrew her eyes, an envious smile appeared on her lips, "The emperor really loves Sister Xu." Then he sighed, "This palace has served the emperor for so long, and I have never seen the emperor send such a big ruby to this palace." ”

Hearing her say this, Xu Guiren was proud, and on the other hand, he went to appease him: "It's a pity that there is only one concubine, I heard that Jingzhou paid tribute to the dark green jade with good water color last year, so it is better for the concubine to talk to the emperor and create a jade bracelet for the concubine." ”

Wanfu seemed to smile gratefully, "Then this palace will thank Sister Xu." ”

……

The matter of asking for peace could not be hidden from the queen, and the comb willow finished the conversations in the hall one by one.

The queen's hand flipping through the Buddhist scriptures paused slightly, and she glanced at the comb willow with interest, "Oh? Then did Concubine Ling really say that? ”

Comb Liu nodded, frowned, and said, "Niangniang, what does this noble concubine mean?" Xu Guiren robbed Concubine Ling's favor, and Concubine Ling not only was not angry, but she even talked to Xu Guiren and envied Xu Guiren. Who doesn't know that the emperor gave the most rewards to Concubine Ling, and it is ridiculous that the noble concubine Xu even accepted Concubine Ling's words. ”

The Buddhist scripture was put on the table, and the queen twisted the Buddhist beads and hooked the corners of her lips, "Concubine Ling is scheming, and Xu Guiren, that idiot, has made a wedding dress for others for nothing and doesn't know it." ”

"What do you mean? The slave is stupid, and still doesn't understand. "Comb Liu couldn't figure it out, Concubine Ling didn't let Xu Guiren say good things for herself in the emperor, and second, she didn't go to see the emperor in person, she couldn't see anyone, she couldn't speak, how could she be favored.

The queen looked out of the window, and it had snowed again last night, the third snow of the year's winter.

"The things that the emperor gave to Xu Guiren were just for others to see, and as for who to see, it was very clear who the emperor really favored."

She was the emperor's wife, and when she was in charge of the palace, she is now the queen above 10,000 people, and no one knows the king's mind better than her.

……

On this day, Xu Guiren waited for a long time, and finally a small eunuch in Qiankun Palace came to communicate, and the emperor and courtiers discussed in the Qiankun Palace, but today is not coming. Xu Guiren was disappointed, but he also knew that government affairs were far more important than the trivial matters of the harem. She waited another day, and by noon the next day, she finally looked forward to the holy car.

Because she was pregnant, she couldn't rub fat powder, so she only applied a thin layer of dancome to her lips. Xu Guiren's appearance is not delicate, but in this harem, he can also be called the middle and upper posture. The lip flap was smeared red, and the whole person looked at it, for example, it was brighter.

"Concubines, please be in peace with the emperor."

Li Xuanyin approached, and helped the person up, "Concubine Ai has a body, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Xu Guiren smiled shyly and entered the inner hall with the emperor.

The warm pavilion was set up for lunch, the emperor was sympathetic, and Xu Guiren did not need to cloth vegetables when she was pregnant, so she set up an extra round stool and dined together.

Xu Guiren ate a spoonful of porridge, quietly glanced at Li Xuanyin, and said as if unintentionally: "The concubine heard that she went to Jingzhou to pay tribute to the best dark green jade. ”

Li Xuanyin didn't care about this sentence, every year when the states entered the palace, there would be a lot of valuables in the warehouse. Jingzhou is indeed rich in jadeite, as for what was paid last year, you still need to check the account books.

He looked at the cut lotus root slices more, Chen Dehai understood, and immediately put a chopstick on the plate.

"If you want, I will send someone to find and bring the Autumn Water Pavilion."

Xu Guiren's face was overjoyed, and the emperor really felt sorry for her. She smiled lightly and said the reason, "It's not that the concubine wants it." ”

"The concubine went to Kunning Palace to say hello, and the big ruby beads that the emperor gave to the concubine were hairpinned, and she was looked at by the concubine. Concubine Ling likes it very much, but it's a pity that the concubine is just that. It was given by the emperor, and the concubines did not dare to give it away easily. Concubine Ling was very disappointed, and the concubine remembered the jade in order to appease her. ”

Li Xuanyin quietly flicked his finger and asked casually, "Is she very lost?" ”

Xu Guiren looked at the emperor's face and pretended to be kind enough to cover up for Wanfu, "Your Majesty, don't blame Concubine Ling, the emperor sent the concubine back to Qiushui Pavilion that day, and Concubine Ling mistakenly thought that the concubine had intercepted her favor, so her attitude towards the concubine was so cold." Since the concubine was pregnant, the concubine Ling Gui has looked at the concubine unpleasantly, the concubine has become accustomed to it, and the emperor must not blame her. After all...... Concubine Ling is just used to the emperor's favor, and it is normal for people to be disappointed and jealous for a while. ”

Xu Guiren said, tears flowed from his eyes, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart, Concubine Ling must not blame her, after all, she also helped her ask for jade. The emperor hates jealous women the most, and when she gives birth to a dragon heir in the future, if the noble concubine has eyes to slap her, she will also look at the past and ask for some benefits for her from the emperor.

However, for a long time, she couldn't cry in tears, and she didn't see the emperor speak, nor did she care about her, as if the emperor didn't listen to her at all.

Xu Guiren continued to add oil and vinegar and said: "Concubine Ling is just jealous, not intentionally making things difficult for the concubine, and please don't blame her." ”

"Jealous?" Li Xuanyin lifted his eyes, his face nonchalant.

Xu Guiren couldn't see through the holy will, thinking that the emperor was annoyed, and smiled in his heart, "Yes, the emperor used to favor Concubine Ling so much, but now that he treats her coldly, where will she feel good in her heart." When he saw the emperor's reward on the concubine's body, he felt unjust and jealous, so he asked the concubine for the jade. It's just human nature, and the emperor must not be angry because of the willfulness of the noble concubine. ”

On the side, Chen Dehai looked at the emperor's face, and saw through it without saying anything. I can't help but sigh that this Ling Gui Concubine is really a good means, and Xu Guiren is also stupid enough, thinking that he is setting a trap on Ling Gui Concubine, but in fact he is pulling people along.

The emperor couldn't pull his face down to see the noble concubine, so he was so kind to the noble concubine, and he was promoted and rewarded, the purpose was to make the noble concubine jealous. Concubine Ling Gui couldn't see the emperor, so she said all these things through the mouth of Xu Guiren.

Xu Guiren didn't know that he was put on a table. The emperor's ever-changing face is angry, and he may not be the dragon's heart in his heart.

Xu Guiren was still there and said that when Concubine Ling was asking for peace, how bad her face was, that is, she was jealous that she was pregnant with a dragon heir and had a sacred heart.

Chen Dehai pretended to be dead like a quail, whether Xu Guiren was favored or not had nothing to do with him, but Ling Guifei could not be underestimated. In the days when Concubine Ling was not by the emperor's side, the emperor was moody, and he could suffer a lot of pain and grievances, and he hoped that Concubine Ling would quickly return to favor.

It didn't take long for lunch before Li Xuanyin stood up.

Xu Guiren was slightly stunned, removed the round stool, and then stood up, "Your Majesty ......"

Li Xuanyin didn't look at her, waved his hand, and left only one sentence, "I still have an excerpt to criticize, and I'll come to see you another day." Then he brushed his sleeves and went out of the temple.

Chen Dehai saluted and trotted to follow the emperor.

This time, the emperor should always reconcile with Concubine Ling.

Chen Dehai thought in his heart, as a result, the emperor left the Qiushui Pavilion and really returned to the Qiankun Palace. He looked dumbfounded directly, and damn mouthful, "The emperor doesn't go to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion to see Master Ling?" The slave wants to know that the master is wrong. ”

Li Xuanyin looked at him coldly, and tapped the back of the chair with his finger bones, "If you want to change the master, I won't stop you." ”

Chen Dehai was so frightened that he raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, "The slave has a lot to say!" Damn the minions! ”

……

Qiankun Palace

A large stack of newly brought folds on the imperial case piled up. It was expected that the emperor would not rest again at noon today, so he stepped forward to make tea with a smile. The emperor is accustomed to drinking Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, and the tea must be seven points hot, Chen Dehai tested the temperature before he dared to present it.

Li Xuanyin put down the fold, took a sip, and said as if unintentionally: "Find out the jade that was paid tribute to Jingzhou last year." ”

"Is the emperor going to send it to Concubine Ling?" Chen Dehai didn't have a long memory, and naturally mentioned Concubine Ling. After all, this jade bracelet was brought up by Xu Guiwei for the sake of Ling Gui's concubine. The emperor said at this time that it was not for the sake of the noble concubines.

When Li Xuanyin heard him mention that person again, his face finally became impatient, and he wrung his eyebrows and looked at Chen Dehai, "What benefits did she give you, I was talking in my ear all day long." ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, it was the emperor who mentioned Jingzhou Jade at this time, and the slave thought of Ling Guifei, and the slave was loyal to the emperor, and there was no second heart!" Chen Dehai knelt down, eager to suck his mouth to death, what's wrong today, three sentences are inseparable from Concubine Ling.

Li Xuanyin pressed his eyebrows, his eyes closed slightly, "Send the jade that Jingzhou paid tribute to last year to Qiushui Pavilion." It is said that what I have given to the nobles shall not be given to others. ”

Chen Dehai glanced at the emperor's face, and the emperor was still angry in his heart. Although Concubine Ling's trick was used well, the emperor didn't fall into her trap at all. Who is the emperor, how can he not see the little tricks of the noble concubines. This is an iron-hearted competition with Concubine Ling, and if Concubine Ling does not admit her mistakes to the emperor for a day, the emperor will ignore her for a day.

The emperor is the king of a country, how could he have been so cautious before, and he was angry with a woman. He only looked at Concubine Ling and quickly came to her senses, and took the initiative to admit her mistake in front of the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor won't be able to see that Concubine Ling is angry all day long, and he can't live this day.

……

Golden Jubilee Court

Wanfu lazily sat in the bed, looking at the notebook in her hand with great interest, and from time to time pinched a piece of sweet and sour Yingluo cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Without powder, the black green silk hangs casually on the shoulders, the eyebrows are green, the lips are like Danxia, and the gestures are moving.

Seeing Xing's head, Wanfu wanted to sigh a few words, "This life is really not a thing, Liu Niang took care of the family for him, and once he soared, he left his wife and children behind." ”

Qiu Chi turned the charcoal fire, glanced at the master's lazy and casual posture, and was indignant in his heart, "The master is still in charge of this book, and the Qiushui Pavilion has bullied us!" ”

The cause should start from the autumn pool to get breakfast, Wanfu is used to drinking goat's milk in the morning, which Cheng wanted to meet the person from the Qiushui Pavilion, and said confidently that Xu Guiren was pregnant, and in order to maintain his appearance, he wanted to wipe his body with goat's milk. Qiu Chi didn't want to cause trouble for his master, so he put up with it.

As a result, at noon, the Qiushui Pavilion came to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, took away the white jade bottle rewarded by the emperor openly, and glanced at Wanfu with great contempt, and said proudly, Xu Guiren told the emperor about Jingzhou jade, but unfortunately the emperor rewarded the Jingzhou jade if there was any, and did not allow the nobles to give the imperial gifts to others at will.

The servant who came to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion to spread the word did not have the slightest respect, and looked at Wanfu as pitiful as a waste concubine who had fallen out of favor. This infuriates Akichi.

Wanfu teased Qiu Chi twice, "Didn't you follow me yesterday to scold Zhang Sheng for his ruthlessness and unrighteousness, why did you forget everything about it today?" ”

Qiu Chi was teased by the master, and became even more angry, "The book is the book, the master looks at how arrogant the Qiushui Pavilion is, the master is a noble concubine, but she doesn't take the master in her eyes at all." ”

Wanfu smiled lightly, "This harem doesn't depend on the level of position, and it's not that whoever is favored has arrogant capital." ”

"Isn't the master in a hurry?" Qiu Chi wondered if the master was really different from the master she had seen in the palace before, and she sometimes even wondered if the master didn't want the Holy Grace at all. She quickly dismissed the idea. The concubines in the harem, who doesn't want to be favored, in this harem, they can only live if they have the emperor's favor.

Wanfu wrapped a wisp of green silk around her fingertips, her eyes moved away from the unfolded book, and asked unhurriedly, "How is the cold palace?" ”

Since Jiang Wanyin entered the cold palace, she couldn't stand the moldy bed boards and swishing food, and made a lot of noise, but in the remote place of the cold palace, without the holy grace, who would pay attention to her? With spring and here, how can Jiang Wanyin have a better time.

After Qiu Chi finished one by one, Wanfu chuckled, her pampered sister really couldn't bear half of the hardship.
