After the Shangyuan Festival, the festive atmosphere in the palace gradually faded away. From that day on, the queen lived in seclusion and no longer liked to go out. Unexpectedly, a few days later, an imperial edict came from the emperor, granting Concubine Jing the right to assist in managing the harem. The queen

He rarely showed up anymore, and everyone secretly speculated that the trend in the palace was about to change drastically.

Jing Sukong occupies the title of the first concubine, and has always paid no attention to the affairs in the palace and continues to live her own life. Sang Guiren has also restrained himself a lot since that day at the Yuan Banquet, and no longer easily disobeys her. She is happy

Comfortable.

However, Li Mo chased her and asked her what she had secretly ordered her to do at the banquet that day, and she told her. After hearing this, Li Mo immediately pouted and said, "Why did the empress help the two of them? The empress and concubine Zhuang didn't do anything either."

Don’t harm your master secretly.”

She was still worried about what happened in the Imperial Garden, and believed that the Queen and Zhuang Concubine Liu Bin were working together to frame her master. Fortunately, the master was lucky, but he also lay in bed for many days, and there were still people behind his back.

It left such a big scar.

It's not that Jingsu doesn't care about these things, it's just that she doesn't want to cause trouble or make grudges with anyone at the moment. She will do whatever she can to fight in the harem. If it were her, she might be even more ruthless.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life, and by retreating and not caring, she wanted them to see clearly that she did not want and would not fight with them, so that she could live a peaceful life.

It is true that the current situation is not as ideal as she expected, but it is not too bad. After all, there is another most elusive existence in the palace - Emperor Chongmo.

Just when she was sitting alone in silence, those words popped into her heart. Her heart was like a rock, without any change. The man in green clothes, she and him, eventually drifted away. Even if one day, she could really leave the palace,

She is no longer worthy of him.

The green mountains never change and the green waters always flow. She and he missed it after all.

It rained again at night, and the sound of dripping rain disturbed people. The bedroom seemed to be contaminated with moisture. It was damp and wet, and people couldn't lift their spirits. When I opened the window, a gust of cool breeze came, accompanied by a soft breeze.

The rain fell continuously on my face, and it felt cool and refreshing.

The continuous drizzle turned into mist. Looking around, it was all gray. Only the palace lantern under the eaves was lit alone. The dim light seemed to be swallowed up by the rain and mist. Magnificent palaces stood tall and bright.

It spilled out through the window paper. On such a cold night, I don’t know how many sad people were sobbing alone.

The Peony Palace is as magnificent as ever, with peonies in full bloom and a refreshing fragrance. The golden brocade velvet auspicious moire blanket and the golden curtains with peony patterns are hanging down one after another, covering the two figures sitting opposite each other in the palace.

"I didn't expect that she would actually help," said Concubine Zhuang, who was wearing a dark red coat with a pattern. There was deep anxiety on her no longer young face, and she kept fiddling with a gold bracelet in her hand.

Ri Xiangling hurried over and asked her to go to Changle Palace. After questioning, she found out that it was Concubine Li who quietly knocked on the table to remind Li Mo. Unexpectedly, Li Mo didn't understand, but Xiang Ling noticed it and hurried away.

Only by arriving at Hanlian Palace can the Queen's problem be solved.

The queen did not answer, only staring at a sapphire tea cup in front of her. The gorgeous red phoenix robe on her body was dazzling, which made her face even more withered and drained of energy.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Zhuang said anxiously when she saw that she was silent, "You should think of a way to prevent Concubine Jing from climbing on top of you." In terms of qualifications, she was the first concubine in the list, and in terms of talent, she was confident that she was not inferior to Concubine Jing.

She, why can she help with the affairs of the harem?

The queen gave her a cold look and said, "You have a way to make me lose face."

Concubine Zhuang was so timid that she didn't dare to argue. That day, she felt embarrassed because she was punished before and did not want to be ridiculed by others, so she took leave. Who would have thought that the emperor would make a fuss about it and indirectly

To embarrass the queen was actually something she had never expected.

It is strange to say, how could the well-behaved emperor suddenly become angry with the queen?

"My Lady, don't you think this is strange? Why is the Emperor so angry at you for no reason?"

The queen stretched out her hand to pluck the tea cup, feeling helpless, "I don't understand either." The emperor's thoughts became more and more unpredictable, and everything was done based on temperament, just as Concubine Jing was given the job of co-managing the harem.

Quan, it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to sit on the throne of the queen.

Both of them sighed helplessly, as the night got darker.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, "Queen, I have something to report."

The queen recognized Dongqing's voice and said, "Come in and talk."

Dongqing was wearing a white coat with green stripes. After coming in to say hello, she said: "Concubine Liu went to Moyang Palace now. I heard that the emperor didn't see her, so she made a fuss in front of the emperor. The empress will send someone."

Want to give me some advice?"

"It's useless," the queen spat. "If you don't think about how to please the emperor, just do stupid things and let her go. I don't care about her."

"Yes," Dongqing withdrew.

The queen looked increasingly depressed and kept tapping the table.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. There are many top-notch newcomers in the Baihua Palace. If Concubine Liu doesn't work, just replace her with another one." Concubine Zhuang advised.

"Changing another one is easier said than done. Take a look at the one in the Muxian Pavilion. You might not be able to find that cheeky melon seed if you throw it in the crowd. Why, the emperor has taken a fancy to it. Gold, silver, jade ornaments and rare items are being sent there like a stream of water.

Not afraid of flooding her little osmanthus pavilion."

Concubine Zhuang knew she had made a mistake, so she became more careful when speaking, "Your Majesty is just trying to be fresh. Doesn't this mean he has fallen out of favor?"

The queen sneered, "You haven't even established your footing yet, and you are trying to win favor. You deserve this end."

Concubine Zhuang hurriedly laughed along, "That's what your Majesty said." She stood up and replaced the Queen with a cup of hot tea.

"From what I see, Concubine Shu is quite capable. It is not impossible for her to become a concubine in the future."

The queen seemed to have listened, and looked at the ground in a trance, "She does have some abilities, but she has a weird temperament and lives alone. She doesn't seem to be friends with anyone." After thinking about it, she added: "That's all, let's talk about it some time later.

Right now it’s better to avoid the limelight.”

"That's what the Queen said." Concubine Zhuang agreed, picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea.

To the left of Peony Palace is a slightly smaller palace with unique specifications, which is the Lotus Palace. The main seat is Concubine Jing, Nan Jingwen. The side hall, Bailanxuan, houses the concubine Cui Yali. She is always a very quiet person and has never been involved in any turmoil.

Go in.

At this moment, the main hall was filled with the most elegant pear fragrance. Concubine Jing was dressed in a pale green velvet embroidered jacket, her head was half-draped, and her jade face was filled with a hint of shame, as if she didn't dare to look at the person opposite her.

Chong Mo is a rare handsome man, with an even more imperial aura and a pair of enchanting purple eyes. Women are all moved when they see him. Concubine Jing has not been favored for a long time. When she suddenly sees him, her heart beats faster and she lowers her head.

My head is speechless.

Chong Mo stared at her with a smile on his face, "I have something to discuss with you."

The emperor is always guided by his own thoughts, so why would he suddenly use the word "discuss"? This is not at all like his character. Concubine Jing was surprised and said: "Please give me your order, I will do my best."

Chong Mo just looked into her eyes and said word by word: "I want you to give birth to a child for me."

Like the sound of thunder hitting the ground in the summer night, Concubine Jing was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. Give birth to a child? Who in the palace didn't know that the emperor never allowed his concubines to have children, and they always had to drink contraceptive soup after going to bed.

The concubine Fang got pregnant through some unknown means, but she was eventually destroyed by the emperor himself.

Now, he actually said that he wanted her to give birth to a child for him! Did such a big happy event really happen to her? Concubine Jing still couldn't believe it. She stared blankly at Zhong Mo, her eyes as bright as jet black revealing doubt.

.

Chong Mo smiled and said, "You heard me right, that's exactly what I mean. I know your temper and will never show it around. You just need to understand that I value you."

These words were more beautiful than countless sweet words. Concubine Jing shed tears excitedly and kept nodding her head, "Please save me, my concubine. Thank you for your grace."

"I will rest here with you today," Chong Mo said, then got up and walked to the inner room.

Concubine Jing blushed and quietly stood up to follow him, following his steps and walking very carefully.

The interior is as elegant as usual, with no ornate furnishings. The curtains are also azure in color, with simple and refreshing patterns. He stands in front of the bed with heavy ink, spreads his arms, has such a coquettish look in his eyes, and a touch of the corner of his mouth.

Laughing, Concubine Jing's face turned red, she lowered her head and slowly moved to him, and gently untied his belt.

Chong Mo just smiled, and suddenly he closed his arms and brought her into the bed, and it was natural that they were lingering.

Far away on the other side is the Rose Pavilion of Jingui Palace.

Shu Guibi was lying lazily on the couch, with Lotus half-covering her body, revealing a section of jade-purple clothes. She was holding a book in her hand, her apricot eyes slightly closed, and she seemed not to be reading.

"Master, the Emperor is resting at Concubine Jing's house in Fuu Palace tonight." Zi Wen came in and passed the message, waiting for her quietly.

Green-white fingertips traced the yellowed pages of the book, "I know," Shu Guibi responded, closed the book half-heartedly, suddenly lifted the hibiscus quilt on her body, got off the soft couch, walked to the window, and opened the

The window looked out at a palace in the distance.

"Master, the night wind is cool, I'm afraid it will be bad if it blows too much." Zi Wen advised carefully.

"What are you afraid of?" Shu Guibi reached out and stroked her hair that was blown by the wind. She didn't mind. "Go down and rest. There is no need to serve."

"Yes," Ziwen used to know his master's temperament, so he did not dare to persuade him any more and quietly withdrew.

The night was getting darker and the drizzle had not stopped. Shu Guibi stood in front of the window for a long time, until the cold air soaked her clothes and invaded her skin. She couldn't help but shiver, and then she stepped away for a while, her eyes still

Firmly lock the hazy palace in the rain and fog.

After a long time, there seemed to be a sigh in the cool palace. Concubine Shu closed the window, turned around and walked towards the bed. Under the swaying of the palace lantern, her slender figure dragged out a slender shadow. Her purple clothes were flowing, and she was submerged in the layers of crimson.

among the curtains.
