The prime minister married a fake wife

On a warm morning, this day is the birthday of the most honored and respected person in the world. The whole world celebrates it. Civil and military officials have a day off, and ministers don’t have to get up early to go to court. But outside the city wall, in a mansion , but someone woke up early in the morning. He took care of everything in the house, and then counted the things that he needed to accompany him. After everything was done, he went back to the room and saw that Liu Lingyan had woken up. While washing up, Liu Lingyan saw him coming in from the outside and asked him, "Why did you get up so early? Did you not sleep well?"

Yang Xixue smiled slightly and said: "No, I have to go out early today, I just want to give instructions for today's house." In fact, he really couldn't sleep well, no matter how confident he was in the plan, he still couldn't sleep well. The real thing, he was somewhat worried, but he couldn't show it, and he couldn't be discovered.

Liu Lingyan said: "Thanks for your hard work, you can do these things tomorrow, don't worry too much."

Yang Xixue said: "Well, I will, I'm going to change clothes." Then I went into the inner room and changed into a light pink dress, fresh and elegant, yet gorgeous, for him Adding a bit of beauty, when he came out, he saw Liu Lingyan had just finished washing and was about to change clothes. He wanted to help him, but Liu Lingyan refused. Yang Xixue suddenly felt a little lost, but it was only a room, and he was waiting outside the door , Liu Lingyan came out after changing clothes, Yang Xixue stared at him stunned, Liu Lingyan walked down the stairs against the morning light, he was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, his tall and elegant figure was extraordinarily tall, coupled with his originally cold and elegant face , There is a feeling of being king of the world.

When they came to the inner hall, Liu's father and Liu's mother were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for them to have breakfast together. During the meal, Yang Xixue ordered people to put the accompanying things on the carriage. They went to the palace. After their carriage and another carriage passed through the palace gate, they drove directly into the depths of the palace. After they got off the carriage, there were two eunuchs waiting. The eunuch with a higher position said: "I see After the two prime ministers and two wives, the servants are leading the way, the emperor said that he would like to invite the two prime ministers to go over, please ask the two wives to follow this little eunuch, he will take you to the queen, please."

Yang Xixue, Yang Mu, Hai Qing and a maid followed the little eunuch through the corridor with nine bends and thirteen bends, and arrived at the gate of a palace. After leading them in, they said, "It's already here, the empress and all the ladies are in the hall. The servant has retired."

A court lady came to Fu Yifu and said, "Please." She led them into the hall and left.

The hall is colorful, and the people sitting are all noble concubines, each of them has a willow waist and beautiful appearance, especially the person sitting in the middle, who is graceful and a little domineering. They saw Yang Xixue come in Hou Du's eyes lit up, and he was stunned on the spot until Mother Liu saluted them.

Mother Liu brought Yang Xixue and the others to bow to the people in the hall: "I have met the empress, ladies and gentlemen."

The person sitting in the middle is the emperor's first wife, the queen, she said: "You two prime ministers' wives don't need to be polite, please sit down."

Two court ladies came over and led them to sit. Mother Liu and Yang Xixue arranged to sit opposite each other, and the maids stood behind them. After they sat down, the queen showed a virtuous smile and said to Mother Liu: "Come on. It's been a long time since the prime minister's wife, how are you doing recently?"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, I am living a very good life."

The queen nodded and said, "That's good." Then she looked at Yang Xixue, still smiling virtuously, and said, "This must be the wife of the current prime minister, right? She is as beautiful as the rumors say, if the emperor hasn't conferred the marriage , seeing you, I will definitely accept you as my concubine."

Yang Xixue smiled and said: "The empress has praised me, but I am not as graceful and luxurious as the other empresses, how can I be appreciated by the emperor?"

The queen said: "Madam is too modest. By the way, the emperor has already said that Madam is going to celebrate the emperor's birthday with a dance. This Palace has already made arrangements for you. There will be maids to guide you when the time comes."

Yang Xixue said: "Your Majesty, please worry about it."

The queen said again: "No, I have heard of it too. You are a superb dancer. You are a double dancer in the capital with Concubine Qing. Even the emperor appointed you to perform dances. I am looking forward to it and want to see you."

Yang Xixue was so embarrassed by her repeated praises that she almost scratched her head. Fortunately, he remembered that he was in the palace and his behavior could not be casual. He smiled and said: "It is a concubine who can be appreciated by the emperor and empress It is an honor, I will do my best to perform.”

The queen nodded with a smile, and then joked to Concubine Qing: "Then Concubine Qing must work harder, otherwise she will be compared to the prime minister's husband."

Qing Ji smiled and said: "Yes, empress, concubines will."

Suddenly, someone said: "Empress, this is not true. Concubine Qing was favored by the emperor and accepted as a concubine because of her dancing skills. Of course her dancing skills will not be so easy to be compared. Concubine Qing, are you right?" ?”

Concubine Qing smiled calmly and said: "Concubine Jia, what are you talking about? To be expected by the emperor and the empress is of course a person with strength. Don't you want to say that the emperor and the empress do not give you eyes?"

Concubine Jia was visibly annoyed by her choking, but she still smiled and said: "Qing Ji, don't talk nonsense, the concubine just wants to say that Concubine Qing can only surpass others in dancing skills, if she can't even compare in dancing skills, then what else is there?" .”

Concubine Qing still smiled calmly and said: "Concubine Jia said that she can do everything, I think your dancing skills must be very good, why not ask you to perform on behalf of concubine, but if you don't perform well, you will be ashamed .”

Concubine Jia was so angry that her face was flushed red, and smoke seemed to be coming out of her head, but she still pretended to be fine and said: "Concubine Qing, you are joking, this is your special dance performance for the emperor's birthday, how could I rob you?" The Imperial Palace has been performing for quite a while."

Concubine Qing said without changing her expression: "Is that so? Aren't you afraid that you don't understand anything and you will make a fuss in front of the emperor?"

Concubine Jia finally couldn't hold it anymore, she gritted her teeth and said, "You..."

At this time, the queen stopped their conversation with a voice. The queen's eyes were sharp, and her voice was slightly harsh: "Enough, do you want to lose face?" Then she smiled at Liu Mu and Yang Xixue: "Sorry, I made you laugh. .”

Both Mother Liu and Yang Xixue said repeatedly: "No, no."

In fact, Yang Xixue watched them cheating and intrigue, and she was secretly speechless, thinking: "I read some stories about concubines in the harem before, and I already feel that these women in the deep palace are sinister and terrifying. , the fight was very fierce, and watching it live now, it is really more exciting than reading a novel. This concubine Qing listened to every word and sentence with nails and thorns, and she could fight back without changing her face, which is really amazing But this one called Concubine Jia is not as good. She originally wanted to mock Concubine Qing, but she was irritated by Concubine Qing and became stinky, but the most powerful one is not Concubine Qing, but the Queen, with sharp eyes and a slightly stern voice, Just let these two women who are drawing their swords and bows obediently calm down, and dare not make any more noises. They really are people who are mothered by the world, but these are fine as an audience. It's not a girl, and Xiling is already married to the prime minister, so she won't have the chance to be accepted as a concubine." When Yang Xixue lamented the situation in her heart, the ladies had already changed the subject, and at this moment a court lady walked up to On the other side, he bent down and whispered something in the queen's ear. After hearing this, the queen said to everyone: "The emperor has moved to the banquet venue, let's go too."
