Emperor Xiao Ling sat at the top, Empress Dowager Shen Yuan sat on Xiao Ling's right hand, on the left were Concubine Shen Bihuan and Concubine Shu Gu Yanru, and the other concubines sat down below one by one.

This time there were no civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but it was the most Qi of Xiao Ling's harem concubines.

Xiao Ling has been on the throne for less than half a year, except for Ye Tingcheng at the beginning, the harem concubines are also in accordance with the intention of the Queen Mother Shen Yuan, and there are not many people who are accepted into the palace in order to win over the courtiers.

The queen of Zhengyipin, Ye Chengcheng, has passed away, leaving aside Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru, the two highest-ranking concubines, there are only five concubines left, namely Luo Yiyi, the second-rank An concubine, Yang Shu from the second-rank Zhaoyi, from the sixth-grade Jieyu Lu Xiangran, and then there are two lower-ranking ones, Yu Meiren and Su Cairen.

Mu Qingchen swept over the faces of these women one by one, saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.

Although there are not many people in Xiao Ling's harem, they have their own characteristics, these women have elaborate makeup, fluttering here, with Hao wrist snow condensation, beautiful appearance, tactful like a warbler, graceful posture, hundred Yan gathering, thousands of beautiful scenery, their own ten thousand styles.

But before Chenghuan was in front of the emperor, how much sincerity did he have, and how much of it was in the song to meet him? The beauties of the harem are painstaking and lonely, and they have exhausted their organs, but they are just trying to make a life in the clouds.

After everyone sat down, after a while, the grandmother in the palace came and said something in the ear of the queen mother, but saw the queen mother nodding and waved away the mother, and then spoke:

"King Yi's mother Concubine Zhuang died early, the first emperor was sympathetic, and also put King Yi in the mourning palace for a while, and now the first emperor and Concubine Zhuang have passed away, and the mourning family will do a mother's responsibility for Concubine Zhuang. Come on-take out the pair of wishful knot ring cui concentric locks and give them to King Yi and Princess Yi, which can be regarded as a sentiment for the mourning family. ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen got up and thanked before sitting down again.

"The Queen Mother, the concubine heard that this wishful hundred knots ring cui concentric lock was Mrs. Ye's private collection back then, priceless, very precious, but I have never seen it, and now the Queen Mother's Hongfu can also see this treasure. Concubine An said on the side, with a very soft smile on her face.

"Yes, the Ye family formed a party for personal gain back then, and indeed looted a lot of good things, this concentric lock was also found when the emperor sent someone to raid the house. Shen Yuan nodded.

When Mu Qingchen heard Shen Yuan's words, his expression remained unchanged, but there were bursts of hatred in his heart. Now that the Ye family has been destroyed, her Shen family is dominant, so naturally she is what she says.

This wishful hundred knots ring cui concentric lock, it is clear that the father traveled outside, in the deep mountains and ancient temples and a high monk bonded, the monk gifted, and then the father gave this thing to the mother, in order to show the white head of the concentric meaning. But in Shen Yuan's mouth, it has become a good thing to "form a party for personal gain" and "loot".

While speaking, Wu Haifu had already put on the concentric lock, and the concubines took a look, but saw that it was green and colorful, and it was not ordinary at first glance, so they couldn't help but secretly admire.

"Princess Yi, come here. The Queen Mother took the concentric lock from Wu Haifu's hand and beckoned to Mu Qingchen.

The cold voice came, Qingchen got up elegantly, stepped forward slowly, and met the eyes of the Queen Mother, which should have been eyes with hatred, but at the moment of seeing the Queen Mother, they were as calm as water, without a trace of waves.

walked in front of the Queen Mother, and was about to salute, but saw the Queen Mother grab Mu Qingchen's hand, with a slight cold light in her cold eyes, looking at Mu Qingchen, but then laughed, put the concentric lock in Mu Qingchen's hand, and spoke again:

"One heart and one person, the white head is inseparable, but it is a dream that all women in the world look forward to, and Princess Yi takes it well. ”

"Jade hook, thank you for the reward from the Queen Mother. Mu Qingchen listened to the Queen Mother's meaningful words, nodded and saluted, and every move was just right, so that people could not find a trace of mistake.

Mu Qingchen returned to his seat, smiled lightly, put one of them on Xiao Yi, and the other on his body, the two looked at each other and smiled, just like a pair of harmonious people.

"King Yi and Princess Yi are newly married Yan'er, and this intimacy is the envy of others. Gu Yanru's cold tone seemed to be a little unkind, and she looked at Mu Qingchen's eyes with a hint of doubt.

She hadn't forgotten that she was in the Heart Cultivation Hall before, and when she pointed her sword at Mu Qingchen, a powerful evil aura locked her, making her involuntarily feel terrified. And she didn't know if this evil spirit came from Mu Qingchen, if so, then Mu Qingchen must not be as weak as it seems on the surface, if not, it can only mean that there is another master behind Mu Qingchen.

"This is natural, the Nine Emperor Brothers have been in the Heavenly Star Country for ten years, I am afraid that I have already known the princess, otherwise I would not have worked hard when the princess was in danger, it seems that I have also completed a good marriage. Xiao Ling spoke at this time.

The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but when she turned her head, she saw Lu Xiangran and her personal palace maid Cai Wei talking about something, her brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't stop shaking her head.

"Lu Jieyu, but is there something?" The Queen Mother suddenly spoke, but saw that everyone's eyes in the audience suddenly turned from Mu Qingchen to Lu Xiangran.

The palace maid behind her pushed Lu Xiang a little, and then she got up and stepped forward, blessed her body slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, today is a banquet for King Yi and Princess Yi, and the concubine shouldn't have talked much at this time, but the concubine is worried in her heart......."

"Okay, what's the matter, let's just say it. Xiao Ling waved his hand, a little impatient.

"Yes, the emperor, the concubine is already pregnant, and the imperial doctor has just diagnosed and treated, and it is indeed a happy pulse, and it has been two months. Lu Xiangran said a little shyly.

"Oh, this is a good thing - Your Majesty, Lu Jieyu is the first concubine in the harem to diagnose the happy pulse, and she should be rewarded. When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face and she said.

"What the queen mother said is that Qin Xi, the proposed decree, promoted Lu Xiang to be a noble concubine of the fifth grade, and the title of Xiang, from now on, you can be exempted from kneeling and worshipping. Xiao Ling was immediately promoted to Lu Xiangran's position and given the title.

After finishing speaking, except for Mu Qingchen, the women in the field had different expressions on their faces, it stands to reason that Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru were the most advanced in the palace, but they gave birth to the eldest son or eldest princess without this honor, and Concubine An used to be the only one with a title among the harem concubines, but now there are more concubines.

Only Mu Qingchen, when she heard that Lu Xiangran was pregnant, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she knew that her opportunity had come.

She wants to subvert Xiao Ling's country, she can't just rely on the army of the Heavenly Star Country, she wants to disintegrate Xiao Ling's power in the Ningyue Country step by step, the former dynasty and the harem have always been in the same vein, she first entered the Ningyue, the foundation is not stable, and the previous dynasty can't move, so ...... Let's start with this harem.

"The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace. Lu Xiangran was overjoyed and nodded his head in thanks.

"Brother Nine Emperors, you were newly married, I should let you rest for a few more days, but the war between the Ningyue Kingdom and the Celestial Star Kingdom was initially decided, I had just ascended the throne, and it was the time to employ people in the court, so I also hoped that the Nine Emperor Brothers would come to the court to help me. Xiao Ling waved away Lu Xiangran and spoke towards Xiao Yi.

"The imperial brother thinks too highly of the younger brother, the younger brother has been in the Tianxing Kingdom for ten years, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, he is busy looking for fine wine and beautiful women, and he can't do anything, where can he have such the ability to help the imperial brother deal with state affairs? Xiao Yi waved his hand again and again, busy refusing.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling only said that he was no longer reluctant, and gave up the matter. Mu Qingchen only thought it was funny, Xiao Ling obviously didn't want Xiao Yi to enter the court to participate in politics, but in order to make an example for the courtiers, he had to pretend to mention it, but he didn't know how Xiao Yi would step down if he agreed this time.

Obviously, seeing through Mu Qingchen's thoughts, Xiao Yi smiled faintly, playing with the teacup in his hand, looking cynical and careless.

Xiao Ling and Empress Dowager Shen Yuan glanced at each other and nodded slightly. Xiao Ling has already tested Xiao Yi's martial arts, and it is indeed not a climate, and now looking at Xiao Yi's demeanor, it does not look like what a prince and prince should be, but like a gentleman of a noble family, unruly.

"The Nine Emperor Brothers are newly married, and I have nothing to give, since the Nine Emperor Brothers like fine wine and beautiful women, then I will do what I like, and send a few jars of cloud wine that have been treasured in this palace for many years to the Nine Emperor Brothers, and ...... There are only two people in the Yiwang Mansion, the Nine Emperor Brothers and the Jade Hook Princess, which is too lonely, so I will simply give you another beauty, so that the Nine Emperor Brothers, you can also spread the branches for my Xiao family's royal family. Xiao Ling said, shouting loudly outside, "Come on—bring people in." ”

When Xiao Yi heard Xiao Ling's words, he turned his head and glanced at Mu Qingchen, but saw that Mu Qingchen did not have any superfluous reaction, but looked expected, slightly surprised.

Mu Qingchen was silent on the side, watching the two brothers come and go, and secretly thought in his heart, even if Xiao Yi likes beauties again, but now it is the second day of the wedding, Xiao Ling will stuff people in King Yi's mansion, the intention of this can be imagined.

Xiao Yi is not a stupid person, and naturally knows that King Yi's Mansion is full of Xiao Ling's people both openly and secretly, in order to facilitate those people in the dark to do things, it is natural to have a person to divert his attention in the light, not to mention, Xiao Ling's move is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Mu Qingchen.

"The courtiers see the emperor, see the queen mother, and see His Royal Highness King Yi. The person who came in lowered his head, and his small face was obscured by the hanging green silk, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

"Bining, raise your head and let King Yi take a good look. Xiao Ling said, and let the woman who saluted slowly raise her head.

Only then did Mu Qingchen see her face clearly, which was three points similar to Shen Bihuan, the concubine next to Xiao Ling, but it was less atmospheric and more beautiful, and it was also a rare beauty.

Shen Bining.

Qingchen knew in her heart that when she saw her former mother-in-law again this time, she always felt that Shen Yuan had something more on her, but she couldn't say it, but now that she saw Shen Bining, she understood. has already stuffed a prime minister's daughter-in-law, Shen Bihuan, by Xiao Ling's side, and now a prime minister's daughter, Shen Bining, is going to be placed by Xiao Yi's side.

The Shen family's thoughts are really interesting.

"Lord Wang, Miss Shen is the daughter of the prime minister, this time with the prince, you can't be nameless, according to the concubine, it is better to let Miss Shen enter the palace as a side concubine." Mu Qingchen proposed.

Since they had this in mind, why didn't she push the boat down the river to fulfill them? The mudier the water was, the happier she laughed......
