"On that day, the palace did have unbearable morning sickness, the emperor came to see the palace is the emperor's intention, the palace has not delivered a letter to the emperor, why is the palace interrupting?"

Chu Concubine asked rhetorically: "Why did Ling Jieyu want to ask the imperial doctor to pass through Haoyue Xuan, isn't this what Ling Jieyu did on purpose?" ”

Wanfu was slightly stunned, and glanced at Qiandai, who was also confused, and shook her head very lightly. After thinking about it for a while, Wanfu realized that it was no wonder that Concubine Chu was so hostile to her, and it turned out that she mistakenly thought that she had intercepted her favor.

"It's my people, or someone else borrowing my hand to sow discord, why don't you go back and ask Concubine Ying who lives in Chonghua Palace with you."

Concubine Chu's expression moved slightly, and then she raised a look of surprise. Wanfu narrowed her eyes slightly, not ignoring some details of Concubine Chu, it seemed that she had long suspected Concubine Ying, so why did she come here today.

"I was wrong to blame Ling Jieyu."

Wanfu was silent, stirring the sour plum soup unhurriedly.

Chu Concubine continued: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. If the concubine can make Ling Jieyu stumble this time, there will be a second and third time...... Ling Jieyu has thought of a way to deal with it? ”

Wanfu didn't think about the way to deal with Ying Concubine, she didn't know what means Ying Concubine used, with Xu Wanyi's hand, using Princess Huai'an to harm her, she could avoid it again and again. Even if he falls out of favor, he still lives well.

Wanfu is getting older and older now, and when she gives birth, I wonder how Ying Concubine will calculate her, and calculate this dragon heir who is not easy to obtain.

Wen Xiurong is not in Chonghua Palace now, she has thought about planting people in Chaolu Palace, but Ying Concubine should be vigilant, she is surrounded by her cronies, and this method is not easy to act. Now that Concubine Chu has opened her mouth, if you want to know Concubine Ying's actions, she is indeed the best candidate. But what does she want?

Wanfu lifted her eyes.

Concubine Chu smiled in her eyes and looked straight at Wanfu, "The concubine can keep Ling Jieyu safe and give birth safely, as long as Ling Jieyu can give the concubine one or two pointers, what to do, you can win the emperor's favor by one or two points." ”

Chapter 88

The spoon dropped into the bowl with two crisp sounds. Wanfu didn't expect that what Concubine Chu wanted was this. She doesn't care who the emperor calls to sleep, as long as the emperor spoils her, and when she gives birth to a dragon heir safely, it is enough to rely on her in the second half of her life.

But this does not mean that she can not mind, and the emperor spoils others like she does. The most important thing for her to gain a foothold in the harem is the emperor's favor and trust. What made her curious was that Concubine Chu had been quiet for many years, why did she have to come out at this time?

"This palace doesn't understand what Concubine Chu means."

Concubine Chu took a sip of the cold tea, Ling Jieyu was favored, and the tea in the palace was also the best royal tribute.

"Everyone else envies the concubine who was raised by her grandfather's side and was a famous concubine, but they didn't know that the concubine's father spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and helped his concubine to ascend to the throne. When his grandfather had a gout attack, he was taken care of by his concubines, who sought medical advice everywhere, and gave his grandfather a good fit and was able to take him in. The concubine's face was bright, and no one knew how much the concubine had suffered. ”

"A few days ago, my mother sent a letter to the concubine, asking the concubine to make peace, and asked the emperor to accept the younger sister as a concubine."

Concubine Chu paused, showed a wry smile, and clenched her palms, "The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, one is prosperous and the other is lost, the grandfather is old, and the concubine has to rely on the concubine's father even if she is resentful."

Wanfu was not immersed in her emotions, who in the harem was not wronged, who did not have unspeakable secrets, no one did not want to fight for the holy grace that could give her supreme glory, she wanted to know, what did Concubine Chu want to do.

"You have raised Princess Huai'an now, and there are few people in the harem who can match your status, isn't that enough?"

"It's not enough." Concubine Chu closed her eyes, "It's far from enough." ”

"There are still a few months of drafting, and the concubine and sister are bound to enter the palace, and the concubine wants her to taste it. the chu mansion is in the harem, and there can only be one concubine and one master ! ”

"As for the dragon heir, Ling Jieyu can rest assured, since the emperor handed over Princess Huai'an to the concubine, he never thought about letting the concubine get pregnant again."

Chu Concubine left Zhaoyang Palace, Wanfu was tired from sitting, and helped Qiandai to lie down on the bed. She couldn't tell how she was favored, and probably ninety percent of it was because of her appearance. But she had served the emperor for so long, and she was clear about some of the emperor's preferences, so she told Chu Concubine.

As for what to do next, it all depends on Concubine Chu's ability.

"Master, the sour plum soup is appetizing, and drinking too much is not good for your body."

Qiandai persuaded softly.

Wanfu came back to her senses, and before she knew it, she drank two small bowls.

She still laughed and lay down on the bed listlessly, complaining: "I can't imagine that a woman is so uncomfortable when she is pregnant, no matter the prince or princess, I will give birth to this one, and I will not have another ...... in the future."

Qian Dai hurriedly stopped Wanfu's words, the master is really not taboo, he dares to say anything, the royal family is an ordinary family, if he says that he will not be born, he will not be born!

"Does the master really believe what Concubine Chu said? In case she gets the favor and turns around and harms her master......"

Wanfu's eyes faded, and her voice was extremely soft, "There is one thing that Concubine Chu said is right, the emperor will not let her get pregnant." ”

……

Princess Huai'an became ill with this illness Xiao Banyue, the holy car rested in Haoyue Xuan most of the time.

At night, Chu Concubine accompanied Li Xuanyin to play chess, Chu Concubine was smart, played for a long time, and figured out the emperor's chess path. Li Xuanyin drank the tea, a smile appeared on his lips, and he drank the tea bowl in his hand unhurriedly, "Your chess skills have indeed improved a lot. ”

Concubine Chu lowered her eyes timidly, and said softly: "The concubine has nothing to do in the harem, and often plays against the emperor's endgame. ”

She saw that the tea in the man's hand was cold, boiling the tea foam, and her movements were smooth, "The emperor is a benevolent and righteous king, and he always leaves three points for the concubines to retreat in chess, so that the concubines can have a place to lose." ”

Li Xuanyin drank the tea she boiled, rubbed the rim of the tea bowl with her finger bones, and looked at the woman in front of her.

He quietly looked away and said, "Ying Concubine is not as good as you." ”

Concubine Chu was slightly stunned, her cheeks were flushed, Ying Ying stood up, walked behind the man, and gently pressed the corner of Li Xuanyin's forehead with her fingertips, "Concubine Ying studied calligraphy and painting, and the concubine is inferior to her in this regard." ”

Concubine Chu's abrupt movements made Li Xuanyin familiar for a moment, he twisted his eyebrows, when the woman was not pregnant, she also liked to knead him to relieve fatigue. He did not brush away the person behind him, twisted the wrench of his thumb, glanced at the slender figure pulled out by the bright candle on the ground, and suddenly said: "You and Ying Concubine have their own strengths, unlike that person, who is tired of writing a word, not only has no rules, but also has no understanding." ”

Concubine Chu narrowed her eyes, smiled gently, and said sensibly: "What did the emperor say about Ling Jieyu?" ”

There was no response for a while, and just when Concubine Chu wondered if the emperor had heard her question, the emperor brushed her hand away.

She was stunned, and when she heard the emperor ask her in a deep voice, she couldn't tell her emotions, "Have you seen her recently?" ”

Chu Concubine suddenly tightened her sleeves, it was not a secret that she went to see Ling Jieyu, the emperor had not asked for a long time, and at this time she asked, saying that the emperor did not know, and he had not secretly investigated this matter.

The only reason is that the traces of her recent actions are too heavy, so that the emperor has a keen insight. She never thought that the emperor and Ling Jieyu were so familiar that she could even notice her every move.

"The concubine and Ling Jieyu have spoken a few times."

Li Xuanyin's eyes deepened, and he asked casually, "What did you say?" ”

After a long time, Concubine Chu realized that she could no longer hide it, because she underestimated the emperor's favor for Ling Jieyu, and even if she wanted to say those things, she must not let herself fall out of favor. As for Ling Jieyu, she promised to do things, and she would do it, which could be regarded as making up for her.

Concubine Chu knelt down in a panic, her eyes lowered, "The emperor forgives the sin." ”

"After An'er fell ill, the emperor was not worried about An'er, and he spent a lot of days in Haoyuexuan. The concubine did not serve the king for a long time, did not know the emperor's preferences, was afraid of touching the taboo, and thought that Ling Jieyu was the emperor's favorite concubine, and probably knew a thing or two about the emperor's preferences, so she went to tell the concubine about these things, and the concubine also served the emperor wholeheartedly. ”

Hearing this, Li Xuanyin's face became more and more pale, and he played with the jade ring on his thumb, "What did she say?" ”

Concubine Chu was frightened, "The concubine knew that it was taboo to inquire about the emperor's preferences, and Ling Jieyu only told the concubine that the emperor liked snow water to boil tea, and preferred the moon white, and her forehead would hurt when she was irritable, and she told the concubine to learn some kneading techniques for the emperor to relieve his fatigue." ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the temple.

Chen Dehai shrank his head and did not dare to step forward at this time. It is already a big sin to privately spread the emperor's preferences, but this person is still Ling Jieyu, who is currently favored by the sixth palace. The emperor spent more than a little bit of thought on Ling Jieyu, and Ling Jieyu was really bold enough to say this to the harem concubines, and she was not afraid that those people would grasp the emperor's preferences and cause her to fall out of favor.

Thinking of this, Chen Dehai sighed in his heart, the emperor has been coming to Haoyue Xuan these days, and he saw that the relationship between the emperor and Chu Concubine was getting closer and closer, and Ling Jieyu was pregnant during this period, so he could not guarantee that Chu Concubine would be the second favorite concubine.

Moreover, Concubine Chu raised Princess Huai'an, the emperor would not let her get pregnant, Ling Jieyu was getting older and older, and now it was not suitable to sleep, could it be that Ling Jieyu made a deal with Concubine Chu in order not to let others be favored...... Chen Dehai looked at the emperor's cold face, and didn't dare to think about it further.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ling Jieyu's approach, ordinary wives are pregnant, and they will send their dowry girls to their husbands' couches. What's more, the emperor is not an ordinary family, and there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the emperor can't always guard Ling Jieyu and not invite people to sleep for ten months.

After a long time, Chen Dehai heard the emperor speak, and his voice was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver, "Very good." ”

That night, the holy driver returned to Qiankun Palace from Haoyue Xuan.

Concubine Chu sat on the soft couch in shock, and Huai'an's cry was heard in her ears, so she came back to her senses and hugged the little princess into her arms, "An'er is hungry, call the nurse." ”

Yun Rou was also frightened by the emperor's face at that time, and she was a little afraid that this matter would implicate the master.

Concubine Chu was slightly stunned, she couldn't say what the emperor was angry about, no matter how happy she was and not angry, she would reveal her favorite side. After a long time, it is not difficult to know the emperor's preferences. Is the emperor simply unscrupulous in his mouth? She vaguely felt that it was not so simple.

……

When the emperor returned to the Qiankun Palace, he did not sleep peacefully, but instead sat down behind the imperial case and corrected it. Chen Dehai waited tremblingly, unspeakably miserable. It can be guessed that the emperor is angry this time because of Ling Jieyu.

The palace lamp shone brightly, reflecting the man's deep side face, and Chen Dehai was grinding in an orderly manner on the side, not daring to speak in the emperor's anger. The emperor's face was much more terrifying than the irritability when he threw a fold at the minister.

He pretended to hang his head in death, and suddenly heard a "snap" sound, and the fold was thrown heavily on the imperial case, and the pen walked away from the dragon and snake, and the three big characters in bright red shook his neck, "There is no forgiveness for killing."

Li Xuanyin put down his pen, "In the past few days that I have been in Haoyue Xuan, has Zhaoyang Palace never sent anyone here?" ”

If someone came to Zhaoyang Palace, how dare Chen Dehai hide it, but the bad thing is that Zhaoyang Palace has never been here.

Ling Jieyu acquiesced that Chu Concubine could keep the emperor, the emperor favored Chu Concubine who could not be pregnant, it was much better than pampering others, Ling Jieyu would calculate, but Ling Jieyu didn't know that the emperor never let Chu Concubine sleep. During the days when Ling Jieyu was pregnant, the emperor never favored others.

Chen Dehai lowered his head, "The slave wants to make Ling Jieyu's body inconvenient, knowing that the emperor is worried about Princess Huai'an, and he doesn't dare to disturb the emperor." ”

Li Xuanyin glanced at him, "Don't you dare to disturb me, or are you afraid that I will go to her and hurt her body?" ”

"I keep saying that my heart is happy, but I am hypocritical!"

Chen Dehai's head drooped lower and lower, and he longed to burrow into the cracks in the ground. I can't help but think that the emperor has such a deep heart, and he will take Ling Jieyu's flattering words seriously. Ling Jieyu said that these good things are just coaxing the emperor, and the emperor's eyes are like torches and clear insight, whether he really can't see through Ling Jieyu's thoughts, or he doesn't want to see through them.

……

The next day, Wanfu learned that the emperor had left Haoyue Xuan late at night. Her eyelids jumped twice when she heard this, and she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

"Master, the holy driver is here to Zhaoyang Palace."

Wanfu's eyelids jumped faster, she now has a six-month-old body, and it was inconvenient to have a big belly, so she held Qiandai's hand and went out to meet her across the bead curtain.

"How can the emperor have time to see the concubine today." Wanfu struggled to bless herself, Li Xuanyin twisted her eyebrows and took her hand, she didn't really let this person give him a gift, "I haven't behaved on weekdays, what are you pretending to do today?" ”

After a moment's pause, Li Xuanyin lowered his eyelids, flicked his fingers twice, and said casually: "Didn't you do something bad behind my back." ”

Wanfu's heart jumped, and she became more and more convinced of the conjecture. Either Chu Concubine leaked the stuffing in front of the emperor, or Chu Concubine deliberately calculated her and provoked her relationship with the emperor.

No matter which of the two of these two, Wanfu faintly sensed that the emperor was in a bad mood now, very bad, and came in a hurry, and it was very likely that he was asking her to ask her for sin.

"How can a concubine do something bad behind the emperor's back, and the concubine is pregnant with this child, even if she wants to, she can't do it." Wanfu blinked innocently.

Li Xuanyin was so angry by her words that he immediately surged into the anger that had been pent up all night, "You dare to say it!" ”

She is in front of herself, and there are no taboos!

Wanfu grabbed Li Xuanyin's palm, "The concubine is tired of standing, the emperor is considerate and considerate of the concubine, enter the palace to speak." ”

Even if Li Xuanyin is angry, this person has a big belly and is coquettish with him, and his fire is pitiful to her, and it is difficult to send it out again. She is so hard with her body, he is angry, and he should not sprinkle it on her at this time.

Entering the inner hall, Li Xuanyin caught a glimpse of several empty ice bowls on the case, and Wanfu saw that the man's eyes were looking there, and she was quite weak, so she squeezed her eyes at Qiandai and quickly took down the ice bowls. The corners of Li Xuanyin's mouth twitched, and she knocked Wanfu's forehead angrily.

It was summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Wanfu was greedy for cold, if it weren't for Li Xuanyin watching everywhere, her bedroom would be full of ice basins. The Internal Affairs Office did not dare to disobey the orders of the harem's favorite concubine, so it could only go to Li Xuanyin.

Wanfu was inconvenient to stand for a long time, so she held her waist and lay down on the soft couch, Li Xuanyin sat on the side, holding a book in one hand and her pregnant belly with the other, stroking it one by one.
