Chapter 032: Suspicion Emerges

"Princess, the palace has come to post. Aunt Qiu came in from the outside, brought a cool breeze while walking, came to Qingchen, and handed over the post in her hand.

"Oh, do you know what's going on?" Qingchen took the post, opened it and looked at it, but saw that it was the post from Concubine De in Bizhi Palace.

"The slave maid said that Concubine De Niangniang recently got a pot of strange flowers, even in this winter weather, it is also very gorgeous, so I want to invite the harem concubines, as well as the court women, as well as the princess and the side concubines into the palace to watch. Aunt Qiu said the reason.

"Is it? Since Concubine De is gracious, how can I not go?" Qingchen's eyes flashed a strange look, turned around and walked to the dresser, and spoke, "Jinyan, make up for me." ”

Aunt Qiu stood in the room, looking at the woman who was smiling lightly at all times, and suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, the princess of the jade hook in front of her did not seem to be as weak as everyone seemed to see on the surface.

"Princess, enter the palace this time and let the slaves and maids accompany you. Aunt Qiu thought and spoke.

"No, Aunt Qiu, I have other important things for you to do. Qingchen said.

"Princess, please. Aunt Qiu had doubts in her heart, why did Mu Qingchen find an excuse to let her stay every time she entered the palace?

"I heard that the prince often goes to the light smoke and willows and the star picking tower these days, and I bother my aunt to go and see, what kind of girls are there in these two places, so that the prince is so lingering, and even the palace is rarely returned, as a princess, although I have no intention of competing for favor, but the whereabouts of the prince still need to be known. If it is really a woman of unparalleled character, you go and tell the prince, I don't mind if the prince takes them into the mansion. Qingchen said quite generously, which made Jin Yan on the side a little surprised.

"Princess......

"Jinyan, you also stay, let Huai Jin and Zhan Yu follow, although it has not been long since I came, but it is also a rule to look at, it is good to take it out to see and understand, I will still have a long time in Ningyue Country in the future, and I don't want others to say that my girl has never seen the world." After Qingchen finished speaking, he left Qiu Rong and Jin Yan and took Huai Jin and Zhu Yu into the palace.

The six palaces of the Imperial Court of Ningyue Kingdom should refer to Xiao Ling's Longchen Palace, the Empress Dowager Shen Yuan's Ci'an Palace, the former queen's residence Fengzao Palace, Shen Bihuan's Bizhi Palace, Gu Yanru's Ziyan Palace, and Luo Yiyi's Yijing Palace. Yang Zhaoyi's Tilting Hall is in the side hall of Yijing Palace, and the Shuhe Xuan where the current Xianggui Concubine lives is the side hall of Bizhi Palace.

Even if Gu Yanru and Shen Bihuan are both one of the four concubines of Shu Yipin, the Purple Smoke Palace obviously does not have the gorgeous atmosphere of Bizhi Palace, probably because Gu Yanru did not rely on it in the court.

The Gu family is a family of generals, and the men of the Gu family have fought on the battlefield for generations, and now there is no surplus of Gu Yanzhao, although he holds the military power, he is not in the court, but in the frontier, so he is beyond the reach of Gu Yanru.

While looking around Bizhi Palace, thinking in his mind, he heard the singing and harmony of the inner servants in his ears, Qingchen came back to his senses, and he had already been led by the palace people to the court of Bizhi Palace.

Shen Bining came one step earlier, Qingchen looked around, but saw that all the concubines in Xiao Ling's harem were gathered, and even the wives of the ministers in the court who were concerned about their lives also came, and everyone's eyes were on her, some inquired, some scrutinized, and even disdainful.

Taking all his eyes into his eyes, Qingchen stepped forward unmoved to greet Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru.

According to the grade, she is the princess of Zhengyipin, Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru are one of the four concubines with titles in Shuyipin, there is no distinction between upper and lower, but Xiao Ling is a gentleman, Xiao Yi is a minister, due to the restrictions of this monarch and minister's courtesy, Qingchen had to bow to Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru.

"This palace still thinks that Princess Yi is not coming? Let so many people wait for you, the shelf is inevitably too big. As soon as Shen Bihuan opened his mouth, he made a run.

"The concubine is late, and I ask Concubine De to forgive her sins. Qingchen didn't care about her, Shen Bihuan's punch was like hitting cotton and touching a nose of ash.

"It's the first time you've participated in the banquet of my Ningyue Kingdom's palace, this time this palace doesn't care, sit down. Shen Bihuan said very generously.

"Xie Niangniang. Qingchen saluted, looked around, and found that the chair that should have been placed next to Concubine An was placed under the two lowest-grade concubines.

Knowing that this was done by Shen Bihuan on purpose, he didn't say anything, just walked to the only empty chair in the field and sat down, his eyes swept over everyone in the field.

Thanks to the good position arranged by Shen Bihuan in order to humiliate her, she was able to take in the expressions and postures of all the concubines, and there was a small table in front of each concubine and wife, with some exquisite snacks on it, but she had never seen it outside the palace in ordinary times.

"Sister Concubine De is really blessed to be able to get such a magical flower, ordinary flowers should wither at this time. I could only hear Su Cairen beside him talking while looking at the flower.

"This flower was sent into the palace by the father of the palace, it was originally given by a friend, and the father heard that the palace was very tired recently, so he sent it in to let the palace play with it. Shen Bihuan's eyebrows and eyes were full of rebelliousness, and he seemed to be very proud of this.

"It's also Concubine De's sister who has a noble status, she is both the prime minister's concubine and the queen mother's niece, and concubines don't have this blessing......" Su Cairen continued to say flattering words.

"Hmph, when it comes to noble status here, who can compare to Princess Yi? The only princess of Tianxing Kingdom, who is in the spotlight of all people, is also the concubine of King Yi when she marries Ning Yue. Gu Yanru snorted coldly, obviously refuting Su Cairen's words, and fighting against Shen Bihuan actually turned everyone's attention to Mu Qingchen.

Speaking of which, Princess Yi's dance at the reception banquet that day can be described as a surprise, if there is a chance, the concubine would like to take a look at it again. Yang Shu and Yang Zhaoyi also followed Gu Yanru's words.

"What's so difficult about this, if Concubine De agrees, it is better to ask Princess Yi to dance in public again. Yu Meiren also smiled.

When the words fell, the atmosphere in the field suddenly froze, Mu Qingchen looked at these concubines who were talking, and understood in his heart.

Shen Bihuan and Gu Yanru fought against each other, Su Cairen and Yu Meiren had a low status, so they naturally found a big tree to enjoy the shade and attached themselves to Shen Bihuan; Yang Shu is the daughter of Yang Qishan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War and the army have always been in the same vein, so this Yang Jieyu is naturally oriented towards Gu Yanru.

Now the only one in the audience who didn't speak was Concubine An Luo Yiyi, and the concubine Lu Xiangran, who was pregnant with the dragon species.

Luo Yiyi is the daughter of Luo Peiwen, who has a different surname, and Luo Peiwen is the only one with a different surname in the court, in addition to Gu Yanzhao, Luo Peiwen also has a certain amount of military power in his hands, which is why Xiao Ling wants Luo Yiyi to enter the palace.

If she was not mistaken, Luo Yiyi's face at this time was filled with some sarcasm, as for Lu Xiang's ......

The corners of Qingchen's mouth smiled, his eyes swept inadvertently, and he looked at the palace maid beside Lu Xiangran for a moment, and then moved away, she knew that it was Mingyue.

"Ahh

"Little Lord, what's wrong with you? Little Lord-" Seeing this, Mingyue immediately helped Lu Xiangran, her face was full of panic, this expression almost made Qingchen think...... Mingyue didn't know what was going on.

Lowering his eyes, Qingchen sat quietly in his place, unmoved, after all, at this time, no one would touch this mold.

Even Shen Bihuan was stunned when she saw this scene, looking at Lu Xiangran, who was suddenly holding her stomach and her face pale, looking panicked.

"Niangniang, quickly pass on the imperial doctor-" Aunt Fang beside Shen Bihuan reminded.

"Quick—pass on the Imperial Doctor—what are you still doing in a daze, carry Concubine Xiang into the house!" Shen Bihuan woke up like a dream, commanding the palace people around him.

"Xianggui Concubine is fine, but she suddenly felt unwell after eating the snacks on this table, according to the palace, these things must be thoroughly investigated, and also, send someone to tell the emperor, after all, what is in Xianggui's belly is a dragon species!" Gu Yanru also spoke, glancing at Shen Bihuan inexplicably, with a slight schadenfreude at the corner of her mouth.

"You ......" Shen Bihuan glared at Gu Yanru angrily, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what was going on in her body for a few days, and she was so weak that she stumbled a few steps, but fortunately, Aunt Fang behind her supported her in time, so that she could avoid falling.

Qingchen watched quietly on the side, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and his eyes finally locked on Concubine An, it seems that there are people like her, who are here to see a good show.

The palace people moved quickly, the imperial doctor soon came, entered the inner room, and treated the concubine, Shen Bihuan was unwell, so he stayed in the courtyard, and did not let anyone leave, but Gu Yanru, as if he had grabbed Shen Bihuan's handle, followed the imperial doctor into the inner room.

When Xiao Ling came, the courtyard was quiet, and the harem concubines and wives were all sitting quietly in their seats, including Mu Qingchen and Shen Bining.

Qingchen lowered his head, watching the bright yellow dragon robe under his nose stop in front of him, unconsciously raised his head, and crashed into Xiao Ling's inquiring eyes. The shallow smile suffocated Xiao Ling's heart, and a long-lost sense of familiarity arose, just like that time, Mu Qingchen's body had the fragrance of plain fragrance and half rhyme, and in front of him, he danced the Dongfeng Willow Dance that only belonged to Ye Tingcheng.

It seemed that seeing Xiao Ling's movements, everyone looked at Mu Qingchen, and the doubts on their faces were even worse, it was obviously a flower-viewing banquet, but it turned into a Hongmen banquet......

Xiao Ling didn't speak, and walked straight towards the inner room, but Huai Jin, who was behind Qingchen, whispered in Qingchen's ear after Xiao Ling left:

"Bright Moon Protector's move, wouldn't it be too risky?"

"No, she's here to help me, if she hadn't done this, I'm afraid I'd have been forced to dance by them again. On this occasion, I can't think of a reason to refuse, but Concubine Xiang suddenly had abdominal pain, but it just gave me a chance. Qingchen said, "What's more, Lu Xiangran had an accident at Shen Bihuan's place, and this play is becoming more and more interesting......"

"It's the subordinates who are too worried. Huai Jin took a step back and stood side by side with Zhan Yu, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes were pleasing to his eyes, and he didn't see any other clues.
