Since Meizhuang was pregnant, the emperor has stayed in Yurun Hall in Meizhuang almost every night, except for being with the queen on the fifteenth day of the month, except for staying at my Yifu Pavilion for a few days. WWW.tsxsw.COM Everyone in the harem looked sideways, and they were extremely jealous of Meizhuang's special favor and helplessness.

Meizhuang was indeed very favored, but he mentioned it briefly in front of the emperor. As soon as he lifted the sedan chair, he immediately took Ling Rong from Zi Ao City and sent him to Taiping Palace to accompany Meizhuang to maintain his fetus.

The concubines who have never been favored by the high-ranking concubines cannot accompany them to Taiping Palace to escape the summer heat. Moreover, Ling Rong's position is low, so she is probably already envious of the concubines in Zi Ao City. Sure enough, Ling Rong smiled and said, "When Meiren found out, her nose was so angry that she was crooked. It's a pity that her beautiful nose was so beautiful."

June 19th is Wen Yi's birthday. The weather is a bit hot, so the banquet is opened in Fuli Hall. Fuli Hall was built very early. It was originally a small garden where Empress Dowager Zhaokang lived in Taiping Palace in his later years. The temples were made of white snails and stones, and the railings were carved on all sides, which were exquisite and shiny. Because it is not far from the lake, you can clearly hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music coming from the water pavilion of Fengyue Lake. The sound is clear and distant, and there is less noise.

The golden dragon banquet table was placed in the middle, facing north and south, and the emperor and the empress sat side by side. The empress was wearing a blue-colored robe, wearing a small ribbon, and sitting next to the emperor with her eyebrows and eyes, maintaining a perfect smile as always. But today, her smile inexplicably made me feel a faint sadness from time to time. In the past ten years of entering the palace, the empress has never been favored by the emperor. Since the child she gave birth to when she was a concubine died, she has not given birth to a man or a woman. The palace people have privately said that the empress has lost the ability to have children again.

Although the emperor was polite and respectful to the queen, he did not have the kind of love he loved to Queen Chunyuan after all. The queen was always indifferent to the queen, perhaps because she was worried that the queen was born in a concubine, and she was not born in the official family like Queen Chunyuan.

I slowly drank the "pear blossom white" and thought sadly. In fact, this pair of Zhu sisters who took the phoenix seal one after another and became the mother of the world was really pitiful. Empress Chunyuan died of labor and suffered from labor. Her death affected Concubine De and Concubine Xian, who were of great importance to the highest position at that time. Now the queen has also lost her only child. I shook my head. There may not be no unknown bitterness behind everyone's glory in this harem.

The ground floor is from north to south, and the neighbors and nobles are placed in the east and west respectively, and the banquet tables for relatives and nobles are placed for relatives and nobles. The palace rules are rigorous, and nobles are not allowed to meet and gather with concubines until major festivals. Today, Wen Yi sets up a family banquet on his birthday, so naturally he will not be polite.

The emperor and empress are seats for relatives and relatives and women. Four large tables in the row are Qishan King Xuanxun, Runan King Xuanji, Qinghe King Xuanqing, Pingyang King Xuanfen.

The princess of Qishan, Xuanxun, has a round face and long eyebrows, a white face, and a rich and noble atmosphere of luxury. The princess of Qishan is also very beautiful, looking much younger than him. I think it was the princess of the family who passed away for a long time, and this is Xinna's successor.

The princess of King Xuan Ji of Runan is He, the daughter of Marquis Shenyang. She is not very good-looking and looks weak. She does not have the arrogance of a noble woman. She only looks at her husband with a smile and does not talk to others. The King of Runan is full of tiger-back and bear-waisted waist. His eyes often emit a sharp light like a falcon. He always looks aloof and cold look on his face, and he looks so cold. He has lost his mother since childhood, but he cannot have a father. The emperor's favor and cold heart are famous for being arrogant, but he is very kind to the princess, and he is almost obedient. For this reason, he is secretly called "a husband who fears his wife and husband" and is also a surprised couple. During the meal, he saw that the emperor was very close to the King of Runan and his wife, and knew that it was because the war in the southwest was tight, and the only one who could rely on the battle among his relatives was the only one who could rely on the battle.

The corners of her mouth were slightly cool like a crescent moon. For this war, there might be a good show to watch today. I just don’t know how she will act like this “re-making a comeback” scene.

The King of Qinghe Xuanqing and King of Pingyang Xuanfen were not married yet, so they did not bring their relatives. The King of Qinghe Xuanqing was empty and no one came until the banquet started. The emperor just smiled and said, "I don't know what new things I saw again, but I refused to move." King of Pingyang Xuanfen was only fourteen years old. He was a young man who grew up with a bright eyebrows and a heroic spirit.

The first seat on the right was Meizhuang, who had already promoted Ronghua and Cao Qinmo, who had just been named Jieyu. Today's banquet was not only to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Wen Yi, but also to the pregnant Heshi in Meizhuang. Emperor Wen Yi was young, so the two of them were the real protagonists today. Even Concubine Duan and Concubine Xu, who were far above them, could only sit in the second seat. The out-of-favor Hua and Feng Shuyi sat in the third seat, and the fourth seat was the seat for me and Ling Rong. Because they were afraid that Ling Rong would be timid, they specially pulled her to sit together. The other concubines were even behind us.

Meizhuang wore a crimson embroidered "Apricot Forest Spring Swallow" brocade dress, a yellow gold thread-lifted apricot gauze skirt, a gold-embellished gold decoration, especially a red gold-embellished hairpin on the bun, with lotus patterns, double-happy characters, bats, and hairpin heads, symbolizing the many sons and blessings, and both wishes. It was sent by the Queen Mother who heard that Meizhuang was happy. The pearls and jade are brilliant and red gold, and are even more noble. Meizhuang looks dazzling and full of spirits. Cao Jieyu wears a purple dress with a purple dress with green branches and green leaves and flowers, and her head is full of pearls and bright pearls and bright clay, which is also gorgeous and eye-catching. Behind them are a large group of palace maids, constantly filling the wine in the wine lord, which is the most flattering.

Since the day when Hua entered Taiping Palace, he had never seen Xuan Ling again. Today, he just dressed up lightly and sat silently. Fortunately, Feng Shuyi is the most lenient and uncontested person, and she is not embarrassed by her.

When the banquet was about to start, I saw Concubine Duan coming in. Two or three palace maids on both sides were holding her and saluted. The emperor hurriedly left the seat and helped her, saying, "It's not important that you come here as the sun is so big outside."

A smile appeared on Concubine Duan’s pale face: “It’s a big deal for Emperor Wen Yi to be one year old, I will come to congratulate you. I haven’t seen Wen Yi for a long time.”

Cao Jieyu hurriedly asked the wet nurse to hug Wen Yi to Concubine Duan. The weather was hot, and Wen Yi only wore a colorful silk bellyband with a red embroidered "Danfeng Chaoyang" pattern, and it looked like a pink ball. Concubine Duan looked at Wen Yi with a very gentle and kind look, and reached out to hug her. For some reason, she held her hand and looked at Wen Yi for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I am willing to hug Wen Yi, but I am afraid I will fall on her. I am also powerless." As she said that, she said to the palace maid who was supporting her: "Auspicious."

The little palace maid named "Jixiang" hurriedly presented a golden lock and a golden wire eight-treasure pearl collar to Cao Jieyu. It was fine, but the collar was inlaid with a thumb-sized jadeite in the middle, and it was watery and green. A discerning person could tell at a glance that it was the old pit fine glutinous rice from the Wonnan Kingdom. It must be Duan Fei's favorite thing.

Sure enough, the emperor said, "This collar looks very familiar, like your dowry when you entered the palace." He also said, "How can you give her something as valuable as a child?"

Concubine Duan tilted to the side and coughed a few times, and her face turned strangely flushed. Fang Han smiled and said, "The emperor is so good at me. But I am sick for many years, and it's a pity to keep it. Wen Yi is so cute, it's just for her to give it."

Cao Jieyu obviously didn't expect Concubine Duan to give such a generous gift. She was surprised and happy, so she hurriedly thanked Wen Yi: "More Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan gently stroked Wen Yi's cheek and sighed: "The last time I saw her, she was still full moon, she was already so old. She has a pretty face and must be a beauty when she grew up."

Concubine Cao smiled and asked, "Empress, I'm sorry, please come to the table."

Concubine Duan stood and said for a while, and was already panting and sweating profusely. The palace maids hurriedly helped her sit down.

This is the first time I have seen Duan Concubine Duan, the woman who has served the saint for the longest time in the palace. Her appearance is not inferior to Concubine Hua, but her face is as pale as paper, thin, timid and cold. She was soft and tilted on the maid in less than half an hour. Even the thin silk silk clothes seemed to be unbearable when worn on her body, not to mention the red gold and long phoenix hairpin on the bun, which pressed her so hard that she couldn't even lift her head. She didn't look like the daughter of General Hu Ben, who was born in a generation.

Looking at the other side of her, Concubine Hua looked different. Concubine Duan and Concubine Hua were both behind the generals. In comparison, Concubine Hua had the style of a general and tiger girl, and acted decisively and fiercely, which intimidated the harem. Even if she lost her power, she would not lose her charm. Concubine Duan looked at her very weak person at first glance. It would be fine if she was weak and had to help her. She had no words to say and she was panting.

Concubine Duan nodded and saw everyone. She looked at Meizhuang for a few times, but when she saw me, she was slightly stunned. She immediately smiled meaningfully at me, turned around and smiled at the emperor as if nothing had happened, and said to the emperor: "The emperor has a beautiful woman again."

The emperor didn't say anything, but only smiled. The queen smiled and said, "My sister has not seen any strangers for many years, so she still has the eyesight of the past."

This was a ignorant statement, and everyone was just talking and laughing and not taking it seriously. I didn't think about it.

The table is famous wines and delicacies, fresh vegetables and wild game, the breeze blows on the curtain, the pipa is leisurely and the song is swaying, which makes people feel refreshed. "Pear Blossom White" has a sweet and sweet taste, but has a strong stamina. After three rounds of wine, the face became hot and hot, and the head was dizzy. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits when they were drinking, Ling Rong said a few words and then quietly pulled Liu Zhu out to change his clothes to sober up.

Huanbi had already ordered Jingqing and Peier to prepare replacement clothes in the small pavilion next to Fuli Hall. Although Fuli Hall was cooler than elsewhere, the first year ceremony of Emperor Wen Yi was a big deal. Although he did not need to make up, he still had to wear clothes that comply with the regulations. In addition, he was drunk and the close-fitting clothes had been so sticky and uncomfortable with sweat.

The small pavilion was equipped with everything, and was specially used for the concubines and women who were attending the service. When Jingqing and Peier saw me in, they came forward and fanned and handed water. I took the wet handkerchief and covered my face and said, "The weather is strange, it's so hot in June."

Jing Qing smiled and said, "No wonder the young master is so hot that he sweats all over the body when he is socializing with so many concubines."

I sneered: "Where do you want me to go for social events? Today is a good day for Shen Ronghua and Cao Jieyu. We just need to sit down and drink and listen to the fun."

Jing Qing smiled and said, "The strange thing is that the little master is not dressed in a gorgeous dress when he goes out today."

I took a sip of tea ceremony: "The protagonists of today's feast are Chen Ronghua and Cao Jieyu. It is time for them to be glorious. We should not avoid far away when we show off, so as not to cause trouble. Sometimes a movement is worse than a quiet person."

Pei'er interrupted while changing my clothes for me, "How can there be any trouble in this palace to avoid right and wrong? What if I can't avoid it?"

I glanced at her sideways and didn't say anything. Huanbi said, "Since I can't avoid it, I have to hold my troops temporarily and wait for an opportunity to take an unexpected move to win. Miss, don't you?"

I smiled and said, "You have grown a lot after living in the palace with me these days."

Huanbi lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you for the praise of Miss."

After changing into a light purple palace outfit, Huanbi said, "Miss, do you want to return to the banquet immediately?"

After thinking for a while, he laughed and said, "You're here to watch. You've finally escaped from the seat. You have to drink again when you go back. Now your heart is depressed again. It's better to go and relax and wake up." As he said that, he helped Liu Zhu's hand out.

It was indeed more transparent outside than the air in the hall. There were more ancient trees, vines and vines in the imperial garden. The flowers and trees were sparse, the rockery was rugged, and the shade was green, which was a bit cooler than elsewhere. At this time, the imperial garden was green, but there were not many flowers, the pomegranate flowers were still bright, but the macadamia flowers were blooming to the extreme, gradually becoming decadent. The deep purple flower core rolled a little dark, like a gray heart. Liu Zhu accompanied me to look at the flowers slowly, and then teased the birds, and walked far without realizing it.

I felt a little sore in my legs when I suddenly saw a clear spring behind the rockery, like jade and green, and it looked cool. There was also quiet around me and no one walked. I was very happy for a moment, so I took off my embroidered shoes on my feet and threw them to Liu Zhu, pulled up the corner of my skirt and stretched my feet to play in the cool and refreshing spring.

A few red fish swam in the spring, pecking their calves lightly, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Zhu laughed: "Miss is still the same, has the temper he used to be in the mansion changed at all?"

I kicked Shuihua and smiled bitterly: "I'm not the temper I used to change a lot. Even though I'm still suffering from this kind of personality, I still have suffered a lot in secret." Seeing Liu Zhu look shy, I hurriedly smiled: "Look at how many cups of wine I've been drinking and talking to you."

Liu Zhu said: "There is no place I don't understand. From being favored to now, the lady has never really breathed a sigh of relief."

I patted her hands and said, "What are you doing when you say this? Now Sister Meizhuang is happy, and at least I have some support. I won't say these disappointing words." I turned around and smiled, "This water is cool, can't you get down?"

While talking, I suddenly heard a voice from afar and chanted slowly: "A vortex of clouds, a jaw..." 1

I thought to myself that this is the lyrics of the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty first met the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Queen of the Zhou Dynasty chanted new lyrics. The Queen of the Zhou Dynasty played the pipa in the burning groove and dancing the song "The Song of the Nishichang and Feather Clothes". What a day when the couple had a deep love and was as happy as a dream. It's a pity that the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty was the emperor, and he only favored the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty so much, and also had the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty who "carried gold-stringed shoes in his hand and taught his husband to pity him freely" 2.

I shook my head secretly, thinking of Xuan Ling in the spring apricot blossom sky shadow. In order to avoid me, he deliberately avoided it with a smile: "I am the King of Qinghe."

"If life is just like the first meeting, why is the west wind sorrowful to paint a fan? It changes easily but the hearts of old friends are changing." Xuan Ling was gentle and elegant that day, but now he will also listen to the provocations of others and doubt me. He let out a sigh of relief. How great would it be if life could always be like the first meeting!

I was so immersed in my mind that I didn't notice the sound getting closer. Suddenly, I smelled the drunken and cold wine fragrance and the sweet fragrance was coming. The smell of a best "rose drunk" paid by the West Yue tribute, but it was mixed with the breath of a strange man, swept over my head and face. I was shocked in my heart, and my body with greasy moss under my feet slanted and fell into the spring. Liu Zhuwu reached out to pull me, and shouted in panic: "Miss!"

Seeing that he was about to fall into a mess, he suddenly turned his body and was pulled by someone. His arm was pulled onto the shore. Before he could come back to his senses, he only smiled and said, "Why are you so light?"

He was shocked and embarrassed. Seeing that he was still holding my arm, he used both hands to force him, and pushed him back and staggered, and hurriedly shouted: "Who are you?"

Liu Zhu hurriedly blocked me and scolded, "Bold! Who is so rude?"

I looked up and saw him leaning against a snow-white Taihu rock, wearing a loose white crepe robe with ink and flowing water cloud patterns... A purple flute was slanted across his waist, looking lazy and leisurely.

He was pushed by me but was not annoyed, nor answered. He was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was suddenly unable to adapt. He looked at me a few times, his eyes suddenly resided on the ground, and a flash of smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Horse Lord Li once praised the beauty's fair skin as 'Piao colored jade soft qing', and what he said was indeed not false. But I would rather use the sentence "Piao colored jade slender" 3."

When I lowered my head and saw his eyes staring at my naked feet, I realized that I had forgotten to wear shoes in panic. The snow-white barefoots stood vaguely among the green grass, like white lotus flowers blooming. He looked at them to give a lecture. He was both ashamed and anxious, and hurriedly pulled over his wide skirt to cover his feet. Since ancient times, women's naked feet are the most noble, and they can only be seen by their husbands on the night of the wedding night. Now that they are seen by others, they feel embarrassed and embarrassed. He heard that he is flirting with his words, and he is already annoyed by him. He owes his body and said seriously: "Prince, please respect yourself."

Liu Zhu looked at me in surprise and whispered: "Miss..."

I didn't even look at her, but just said lightly: "Liu Zhu, I've seen the King of Qinghe."

Although Liu Zhu was full of doubts, he did not dare to disobey me and gave a bow as he said.

The King of Qinghe smiled slightly, "You have never seen me, how could you know I am Qinghe?"

Maintaining a faint and alienated smile, he asked back: "Except for the King of Qinghe, who would keep his purple flute away, who could drink the 'rose drunk' from the West Yue tribute, and who would be so unrestrained in the palace? Otherwise, how could he be able to bear the word 'free'."

He looked a little surprised, "Little Wang has lost his character." Then he smiled to the sky, "Are you the emperor's new favorite?"

I can't help but feel disgusted, so unruly and rash.

Seeing that the situation was awkward, Liu Zhu hurriedly said, "This is Zhen Wanyi."

He nodded a little, maintaining his superficial politeness: "I offend the prince, please don't be surprised." After saying that, he was unwilling to give him more words and bowed: "The emperor is still waiting for the prince, so he will say goodbye first."

Seeing that I was about to leave, he hurriedly struggled hard, but he was so drunk that he staggered a few steps unsteadily.

I said to Liu Zhu: "Go and call two inner prisoners to help the prince to rest in the neighboring Songfengxuan and wake up."

Liu Zhu immediately called the inner prisoner and held him on one side. He waved his hand and his eyes fell on me: "What's your name?"

I was stunned, and my heart became more and more embarrassed and annoyed. I asked my name as a great gift for my husband's family. Since I was the concubine of the emperor, only Xuan Ling could ask about my name. He said calmly: "The bad name may defile the prince's honor. The prince is drunk, please go and rest." After that, he left.

It was not until he walked far away that he solemnly said to Liu Zhu: "No one is allowed to mention today's affairs, otherwise I will not even die."

Liu Zhu had never seen me look like this before, so he nodded in a hurry.
