"Hongluan, haha!" Concubine Li chuckled, looking at Feng Hongluan's innocent appearance, and said, "You silly child, do you really think I want to talk to you about butterflies? You also said, Caterpillars in Spring
, they all turned into butterflies. You should know why there are no children in this palace. In mid-April
, where did the caterpillar come from? The kind of caterpillar I later read through the book based on my memory is called the green caterpillar (note: the author made nonsense of the type of caterpillar, you don’t need to go out to meet your mother). It lays eggs in summer and spins cocoons in winter. In early spring,
It will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. In this season of April, there is no chance of caterpillars."
"What do you mean, your Majesty, someone deliberately released this caterpillar?" Feng Hongluan continued to act stupid, pretending that she didn't understand anything. Some things were none of her business and she didn't want to attract anyone.
But Concubine Li got straight to the point: "Silly girl, there is no place for you to be free, just like you are still a virgin, there is no place for your child."
Feng Hongluan was slightly startled by Concubine Li's metaphor. In fact, even if she was no longer a virgin, she still had no child in her belly.
The topic of children is a sensitive topic for Li Fei, and the same is true for Feng Hongluan.
Seeing Concubine Li staring at her with a stunned expression, she hurriedly pretended to be surprised and said: "My Majesty, what I saw was not a caterpillar, but someone who took off the caterpillars. I'm afraid, you are afraid of this kind of thing, and deliberately made it almost like Biqing."
The caterpillar thing is on the tree trunk, are you scaring the queen?"
Concubine Li didn't seem to doubt her eyes and behavior. She just thought she was enlightened. She nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, I told the emperor so, but he said that what I saw with my own eyes can't be false.
He also said that there are always exceptions to the cycle of seasons, and that caterpillars may hatch in April but not necessarily. Now I feel extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable."
Feng Hongluan was not a comforting person either, but she still said a few words of sympathy: "Your Majesty, it's black or white, good or bad. As time goes by, true feelings will appear, and falsehood will appear as time goes by. Your Majesty, to
Your Majesty's love is true, and those who want to persecute your Majesty, as long as your Majesty pays a little attention, they will definitely show their fox tail. Your Majesty is still young, as long as your favor continues, as long as the Emperor's love for you is endless,
In this life,
You are the happiest woman in the harem."
Concubine Li looked at Feng Hongluan, her tired and sad face became a little more colorful: "Your Majesty is really very kind to me. That's all. Don't tell others what I said to you today. I just
I have been holding it in alone for too long, I am a little tired, and I want to find someone to talk to."
Feng Hongluan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Hongluan knows that in the future, if the empress has no one to express her depression, Hongluan can be allowed to enter the palace."
"Well, here comes someone."
"Yes, empress."
"Go to my room and get the gold medal." Concubine Li gave the order, and the palace maid hurried into the inner room to get the gold medal.
After coming out, she gave the gold medal to Concubine Li. Concubine Li smiled and pushed the gold medal into Feng Hongluan's palm: "This is a gold medal given to me by the emperor. This gold medal allows me to enter and leave the palace at will."
Feng Hongluan was slightly stunned. She still remembered that Concubine Li had told her that she had never left the palace since she entered the palace. She had even forgotten what the outside of the palace looked like. It turned out that it was not that she couldn't get out, but that she didn't want to get out.
"Although the emperor treats me well, I still have to consider the emperor. I don't want to act recklessly and cause criticism. Even if I can enter and leave the palace at will, I will not abuse this power. Since I am a concubine in the palace, I am the emperor's person.
You should stay with the emperor like a kind of concubine for the rest of your life. This gold medal is useless just holding it. I give it to you. It will be much easier for you to enter and leave the palace in the future."
Feng Hongluan was flattered: "Thank you, empress."
"Follow me to a place, okay."
"Mother, please tell me."
"I want to go to Chuxiu Palace. I heard that some of the Taoist ladies this year are extremely beautiful."
Concubine Li's face was filled with a hint of coldness, and this coldness revealed stubbornness and pride.
Feng Hongluan couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Even though the emperor favored her a lot, I'm afraid it was more favor than love. With the emperor's ruthless heart and his personality of being able to kill even his own brothers, a woman, in the presence of the emperor,
How much status can you have in your heart?
Concubine Li is afraid that if she makes a mistake because of her infatuation, she will end up like this and die in the palace.
Feng Hongluan still accompanied Concubine Li. They couldn't get in, but Concubine Li found a way to bribe her mother-in-law. She stood in the side room of Chuxiu Palace and looked at these newcomers through the window.
female.
This time, Jingshifang Palace prepared a total of sixty pots of green peonies, ten pots of blue peonies, three pots of black peonies, and countless pots of purple peonies.
After the preliminary selection, depending on whether the emperor likes it or not, and how much he likes it, different peonies will be assigned to each show girl.
The show girls who got the purple and red peonies were usually led out of the palace directly by their nuns, while the other show girls who got the green, blue and black peonies had to wait for the next round of assessment.
The next round of assessment will basically eliminate some of the "green peonies". The "blue peonies" and "black peonies" have actually secured their positions as concubines in the harem, which is equivalent to direct promotion.
From a distance, it seemed that the draft was already in progress. Concubine Li looked outside and said to Feng Hongluan without looking back: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, I was already the Crown Prince Liangdi. There is no need to do this to select the Crown Prince Liangdi.
There are many rules, and I was given the title of Liangdi before I was brought into the palace before I met the emperor."
She seemed to be reminiscing, speaking very softly and quietly, but suddenly her tone stopped abruptly.
Her eyes were a little dazed, and Feng Hongluan followed her gaze and looked outside.
I only saw a back figure, wearing a light pink dress, with long hair piled on top of her head, a regular double bun. From the back view, the woman was small and exquisite, very cute, she looked young, and she had a slim figure.
And the father-in-law of the Jingshi Room, following the emperor's instructions, sent a pot of peonies to the woman's hand, which was exactly the black peony.
No wonder Concubine Li was so out of shape. Ten years ago, she was the emperor's concubine and was named Liang Di. After the emperor ascended the throne, he doted on her in every possible way. She was just Concubine Li, ranked below the dead concubine and the empress, and the same as ten or so others.
The concubines are side by side. Now, as soon as a new person enters the palace, he will be crowned with Black Peony and be directly promoted to the concubine position. If the emperor gives the title, he will be on an equal footing with Concubine Li.
"Hehe, hehe!" Concubine Li smiled bitterly, and then started coughing.
