foxy charmer

The New Year's Eve banquet was interrupted on the spot because it was related to the heir of the dragon.

Concubine Wan was moved to the side hall, surrounded by the imperial physician beside the bed, and sitting outside the bed were the emperor and queen mother.

"What's going on here." The queen mother looked at Emperor Guangjing, "The concubine in the palace is pregnant, but the Ai family doesn't know."

"Yes... it's my son's negligence." Emperor Guangjing lowered his head, and he pressed his hands tightly to his forehead, not looking at anyone, just staring at the ground.

A silent haze shrouded the small room.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to ask questions, so she turned her gaze to Concubine Wang Gui behind her, "Come on, Concubine Wan. After entering the palace, Concubine Wan lives in your Yonghua Palace every day. You are also fully responsible for this palace banquet. How much do you really know?"

Concubine Wang immediately knelt down, "Forgive me, Empress Dowager. Since entering the concubine's palace, sister Wanfei has eaten and behaved like ordinary people every day. Besides, she has always had injuries on her feet. She has never served in bed since she entered the palace. So the concubine never thought that she would be pregnant with a dragon heir."

She prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed, "The bowl of almond milk that the imperial physician said was because of the cold weather recently, and my concubine often saw the emperor coughing, and thought that almonds have the effect of nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, so I didn't want to harm the baby in my sister's belly. Concubine, concubine..."

The imperial concubine choked up as she spoke, her voice trembled, she was extremely terrified and guilty, "This concubine is guilty, this concubine deserves to die, please punish the empress dowager."

The queen mother let out a long sigh.

"Forget it," she waved her hand, "You also don't know, if Concubine Wan's child can be kept, it's fine, if not, you can stay in Yonghua Palace and copy a few more scriptures for her and the child. "

"Yes." Concubine Wang staggered to her feet, her figure was unsteady, her pale face was covered with tears.

Seeing her staggering, Xue Bin quickly supported her from behind.

"Your Majesty..." she called softly, with a complicated expression on her face.

She was the first to mention this matter, and the imperial concubine could obviously let her do it smoothly...but she planned it alone.

She didn't know if the imperial concubine wanted to protect her or something else, she had all kinds of feelings in her heart, and all her thoughts finally converged into a worried "Mother..."

Everyone waited for a while until the imperial physician came to report.

The child is gone, Concubine Wan is still asleep, and she may not be able to wake up for a while.

Emperor Guangjing was stunned on the spot.

That was his first child, the child of him and Wanli, and the love of his life.

When he knew the existence of this child, the child was no longer there.

"You guys go back." The emperor waved his hands. Judging from his back, the emperor at this moment was unprecedentedly powerless.

"I will stay with Concubine Wan."

The queen mother sighed again, and then stood up, "It's okay, she is pregnant for the first time, she must be sad when she wakes up, the emperor keeps it, let's go first."

"Yes."

Everyone left as promised.

Concubine Wang was supported by the hibiscus and sat in the sedan chair. On New Year's Eve, there was a thin snowfall outside, and the color was like Wanli's complexion when she passed out.

She looked up at the moonless night for a while, but in the end she didn't look back, didn't look back at the room behind her.

Mu Jin said softly, "Niang Niang, let's go back."

"En." The imperial concubine nodded and sat in the sedan chair.

After returning to Yonghua Palace, the palace servants came to report that all the palace servants serving Concubine Wan in the side hall of Yonghua Palace had returned to Baohe Palace, and their things had been cleaned up and taken away.

Concubine Wang Gui said that she understood, and she had nothing else to say.

"Your Majesty," Mu Jin took off her palace attire for her and put her on the bed, "This is the end of the matter, Your Majesty should go to bed earlier."

Concubine Wang waved her hand, she wanted to put down the bed curtain.

This extravagant palace looks too deserted.

At the banquet, Wanli's last glance before she passed out was like a dagger, piercing Concubine Wang's heart lightly.

She got it.

She knows she did it.

Wanli didn't tell Emperor Guangjing or Shui Xi about her pregnancy, she only talked about it with Concubine Wang Gui.

Regardless of whether the phrase "I like my mother" on her lips was sincere or the little girl was just talking blindly, but in the past month, she has sincerely regarded Concubine Wang as the closest person.

Concubine Wang Guifei was not afraid that Wanli would report her after waking up.

There is no evidence, if Wanli told the imperial concubine that she was pregnant, why didn't she tell the emperor first, why didn't she ask the imperial doctor to come to the fetus.

In the few days when she clearly taught Wanli how to hold a banquet, she warned Wanli that she must double check and keep evidence; she even emphasized to Wanli, "Pregnant women don't know what they can eat and what they can't eat. So you must consult the imperial physician first."

That was Wang Yuyu's wish, but in the end it was Wang Guifei who was even better.

Wanli was too young, she didn't understand anything, she just copied those words, but didn't take it to heart at all.

Like all girls her age, she never took the elders' advice seriously.

"Your Majesty, do you want to turn off the lights?" Mu Jin asked worriedly.

The imperial concubine shook her head, "Go out."

She was lying on the bed, lying quietly without saying a word, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.

Mu Jin saw that her expression was dull, so she stopped talking, and after saying yes, she bowed and exited the hall, closing the door tightly.

There is only one master in Yonghua Palace, in the past and in the future.

Concubine Wang touched the mattress under her body.

After that, this is her bed alone again.

That's right, that's good, she and the heroine shouldn't be so close in the first place.

They are just enemies, other than that, they have nothing to do with each other.

……

Early the next morning, Concubine Wang Guifei and several concubines went to the side hall to visit Concubine Wan in order to show their affection.

When they came, Emperor Guangjing had just stepped out of the court, and only a few court ladies were busy in and out.

Concubine Xue didn't want to come, but when she heard that Concubine Wang was going, she went too.

Concubine De followed closely behind, the worry on her face was about to overflow, she sighed all the way, "Concubine Wan is only so young, how could she bear such a blow."

After hearing this, Concubine Wang Gui replied indifferently, "It's a done deal, you just stay and try to persuade her."

A group of people walked into the door, no matter what they thought in private, they still showed regret on their faces.

This regret was interrupted by a burst of familiar fragrance after Concubine Wang Guifei stepped into the threshold.

She looked at Wanli on the bed, and Wanli saw her when she turned her head.

Who made it for her!Why is Xiaochan's concubine eating fried chicken the next day!

When Wanli saw Concubine Wang, her face immediately changed.

She bit the chicken leg in her mouth, and buried the rest of the dishes in the bed, like a primary school student who immediately turned off the TV when she heard her mother opening the door, feeling guilty in panic.

"Angshang Suowuliang, can I eat grace?" The emperor said that I can eat whatever I want.

I finished my homework, so I watched TV for a while to rest.

"Then..." Don't hide the fried chicken under the quilt either!

Wang Guifei subconsciously wanted to speak, but she got stuck after blurting out a single word.

She didn't speak, and the concubine De next to her smiled softly. She sat on the side of Wanli's bed and touched her head, "Of course, sister Wan can eat whatever she wants, and there's no need to be so sneaky."

The imperial concubine watched coldly.

When Concubine De passed her and sat beside Wanli naturally, she suddenly lost the strength to speak, and the politeness she had pretended before coming here was instantly disintegrated.

The imperial concubine recognized her identity, she was no longer qualified to sit in that seat.

"Really?" Wanli asked Concubine De, but she was still looking at Concubine Gui from the corner of her eye.

Concubine Wang looked away.Now that things have happened, she can't pretend that nothing happened and laugh and laugh with Wanli.

Don't look at her, she doesn't want to look at her.

"Naturally." The imperial concubine did not answer, and the concubine De answered for her.

She caressed Wanli's side face pitifully, and sighed, "Let's not talk about food, even if you want gold and silver, you have to rely on the emperor now. Poor sister, why did you lose your child at such a young age..."

Concubine De said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she frowned and asked, "It's a bit strange to think about it carefully, the little almonds in the almond milk should not make people miscarry on the spot, sister, think about it, yes Didn’t the rumors come out somewhere that people took the opportunity to make trouble?”

Concubine Xue immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "The palace banquet is organized by the imperial concubine, concubine De, who are you trying to allude to?"

"The concubine didn't mean that," Concubine De looked at the concubine beside her, "The concubine is blessed with grace, so naturally she would not do such a dirty thing. It's just that sister Wan has been living in the Yonghua Palace before, and the concubine is worried What kind of evil intentions have the palace servants in Yonghua Palace moved?"

She said and squeezed Wanli's hand tightly, "No matter whether someone is causing trouble or not, this matter should be investigated. My sister just entered the palace... Look how cold these hands are, and they are also thin It’s a big circle, it’s really painful to watch.”

"I think Concubine Wan is fatter than when she entered the palace." Concubine Xue smiled.

Needles were hidden in the cotton on both sides until Shui Xi came in to report, "Master, the sedan chair is ready, we should go back to Baohe Palace."

When she passed Wang Guifei, she didn't even say hello, and she didn't stop for a while, as if she didn't see her at all.

No matter what the emperor and the concubine think, Shui Xi believes that the concubine cannot escape this matter.

She helped Wanli get off the bed, Wanli raised her head, and she first looked at Concubine Wang Gui.

Those eyes were bewildered and anxious, like a child who went to school for the first time and was taken away by the teacher but turned back to look at his mother.She didn't know whether she should go forward with the strength that led her, and she longed to hear a call to stay from her mother's mouth.

As long as the imperial concubine said "wait", she would immediately let go of Shui Xi's hand, turn around and stare at Concubine De to tell her not to mind her own business.

But what the hell is different now.

This time Wanli just watched, and didn't say any more willful words like "I want to live with my empress".

Her right hand was held by Concubine De, her left hand was supported by Shui Xi, she walked out of the side hall step by step, and got into the sedan chair of Huibaohe Palace.

During this process, no one spoke.

When she descended the steps, she turned her head and looked into the room, her eyes were open, staring at the imperial concubine without blinking.

She is no longer looking forward to it, but begging for something.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't get the response she wanted.

"Master, watch your feet, don't fall." Shui Xi asked her to turn around.

Wanli drooped her eyelids and straightened her gaze.

Concubine Wang Gui was speechless from beginning to end.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xue who was beside her asked tentatively.

The noble concubine pulled the vest on her shoulders, "I've seen it, I'll go back first."

She went down the steps after Wanli and sat in her sedan chair.

The imperial concubine walked quickly, and the sedan chairs on both sides were able to set off at the same time, one of them was heading west and the other was heading east.

After walking three feet away, Wanli opened the arrogance curtain and stretched out her head to look back.

She planned in her heart that as long as the imperial concubine was still looking at her, as long as she could still see the phoenix eyes of the empress when she turned around, she would stop and go back to Yonghua Palace with her.

But she only saw the guard of honor of the imperial concubine leaving, so grand and distant.

Wanli bent down, and she suddenly vomited out something - it was a piece of chicken.She sucked it for a long time, but couldn't chew or swallow it.

In the sedan chair, she curled up into a ball, hugging her knees.

It's useless, even if she pretends to be the same as usual, even if she intentionally provokes the imperial concubine to be angry, the empress will no longer hold her by ear like before.

It turns out that everything is still not worth the power struggle.

She looked at the rotten piece of meat under her feet, and let out a thin sob with her eyes closed.

The rabbit's nest is gone, and in the days to come, she can only learn to dig holes by herself, learn to distinguish poisonous weeds, keep herself warm, and survive all the winters.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Guangjing ordered Concubine Liwan to be the queen.

As soon as this move was opposed by the former court and the harem, he insisted on going his own way, only thinking about making up for his concubine who lost his son.

The post-sealing ceremony was held very quickly, and it was scheduled for the first day of April.

During this period, the future queen has been publicizing that she is unwell, so she closed the door to thank guests, and only the emperor can go in a few times occasionally.

Concubine Wang was not surprised when she heard the news after the seal. This was the original content of the plot. After going around a lot, it finally returned to the original text.

The next plan is simple.

The heroine lost her child and was in a bad mood, so she had to quarrel with the emperor, which gave people an opportunity to take advantage of.

At this time, the emperor was still angry with Concubine Wang, so Concubine Wang's eagerness to get close to Emperor Guangjing was not effective, so it was better to call some beauties to do things for her.

The imperial concubine found some court ladies who looked similar to Wanli from the palace and arranged them next to the emperor.

It was not only Wanli who lost her son, but also Emperor Guangjing.Under such pain, whenever the heroine stabbed Emperor Guangjing with sharp words, he would either keep himself busy with government affairs or get himself drunk.

All in all, opportunities abound.Once Emperor Guangjing had an affair with other women, Concubine Wang immediately exaggerated the facts and tried every means to spread it to Wanli's ears.

She had just lost her child, and her husband comforted her on the surface, but in fact she cheated secretly.This is an absolutely intolerable betrayal for the modern Wanli.

She felt angry, sick, and a deep sadness.It was in such a mood that the heroine fled the palace shortly after becoming a queen.

Count the days, it's near.

On the first day of April, the post-closing ceremony.On this day, the former concubine Wan became a queen.

The concubines met and kowtowed to offer tea. Concubine Wang knelt down in front of Wanli, and she was the first to hand over the tea.

In the four months after New Year's Eve, the queen stayed behind closed doors, and Concubine Wang rarely stepped out of the Yonghua Palace. This was the first time the two met after that.

When the imperial concubine raised her head from the ground and handed the teacup to Wanli, her breathing froze for a moment.

The woman on the seat was wearing a gorgeous and expensive phoenix robe. In order to match this gorgeous dress, she was put on heavy makeup by the court lady. The baby's fat face has lost a lot of weight in these four months, from plump pink lotus to Elegant and delicate plum.

In just four months, Wanli lost the greenness and innocence of years ago, and she became calm and quiet, with the dignity of a queen.

Just as Wang Yuyu thought, when the fetus the size of an index finger fell out of Wanli's abdomen, she was no longer a child.

After half a year, the attitude of the concubines has changed drastically. They are very respectful, well-mannered, and no one dares to offend the majesty of the empress.

When serving tea, the eyes of the two met in the air for a moment, like the scene at the New Year's Eve banquet.

Neither of them spoke, just briefly making eye contact.

The young queen announced the end of the meeting shortly after the ceremony, and everyone obediently got up to leave and walked out of the palace gate one by one.

Only when Concubine Wang got up, the queen suddenly said, "Concubine, wait a moment."

Concubine Wang was startled, this was the first time Wanli called her concubine.

Not the imperial concubine, not the empress, but the imperial concubine.

She stayed as she said, and when everyone left, she squinted at her superior, grasping the arrogance of her former favorite concubine, and lazily said coldly, "What's the matter with the queen."

Wanli was silent for a moment, then, she shunned the maids in the hall, closed the door, and walked towards Concubine Wang step by step, dragging her phoenix robes that dragged the floor.

Embellished with gold, silver, pearls and emeralds all over her body, Concubine Wang suddenly felt that the person was so strange that she had never known her before.

She sat back a little, but before she could sit still, the girl threw herself into her arms in front of her.

Concubine Wang was stunned. In front of her was Wanli's complicated skirt, which was covered with phoenix patterns, which made people dizzy.

What does it mean……

It didn't take long for her to wonder before the delicate touch on her jaw.

Wanli raised her head, her profile was close to the imperial concubine's.Her eyes were like unglazed china, dry and brittle.

"Now I am a lady," she said, "and you will obey me now."

The queen closed her eyes, and moved herself and the imperial concubine closer, as if she couldn't hear any rejection when she closed her eyes.

After a long time, she ordered, "Hold me."

This is the coercion of power that Wanli hates the most. Because of the coercion of imperial power, she had to leave her country home, bear children for Emperor Guangjing, and be locked in this boxy golden cage.

But on this day, she chose to use the method she hated the most.

She wants Concubine Wang to like her, whether it is between lovers or between friends, anything is fine, in any form, as long as Concubine Wang likes her, Wanli can take care of this nightmare by herself. With a reason, she can find a reasonable excuse for the imperial concubine.

"Please..." But she wasn't proficient enough in this trick, and after two sentences, it fell apart, leaving nothing but crying.

She grasped the imperial concubine's palace skirt tightly, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, "Please... Your Majesty, kiss Wanli..."

She didn't want to be mistaken, and she didn't want the pillow person she relied on to kill her child.

If that's the case, then all her confessions so far are a little too ridiculous.
