The Legend of Nanshan Jun

As more and more people gathered, the gate of Yanxiang Palace finally opened. Under the order of the Queen Mother, we were divided into two rows and entered slowly according to our positions.

First, the female concubines saluted the Queen Mother, from top to bottom: Concubine Wang Guifei, Concubine Xiao Shu, Concubine Shu De, Feng Zhaoyi, Lin Xiuyi, Wang Jieyu, Ye Meiren, Zhao Cairen, Mo Cairen, etc., and then the male concubine The salutes are Lord Beichen, Lord Donghua, Lord Xiling, Lord Fang Gui, Lord Qing, me, Lord Lin (Jingshan), and Lord Huagui (Qianliang).Due to the large number of people in the harem, only male and female concubines of the fifth rank and above are eligible to greet the queen mother.

"Get up, all of you, pay your respects to the Ai family every day. If you want the Ai family to feel at ease, you must be self-restraining and abide by the rules. As long as the harem is under the care of the Ai family for a day, the Ai family will never allow anyone to ignore the palace rules and intrigue .”

"Yes, I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order."

"On this point, female concubines don't need to be sorry anymore. As for male concubines..." The queen mother turned to Lord Beichen and said, "Mr. Beichen, you need to work harder. There must be no such thing as trespassing on the Palace of Longevity."

Speaking of this, the queen mother glanced at me intentionally, and felt that I was being watched by several eyes at the same time. I settled down and tried to look as calm and composed as possible.

"Mother, don't worry, the minister will strictly discipline the concubines, and this will not happen again."

"That's good." The Queen Mother nodded, and walked around for a week, "But Aijia would like to know who is this person who dared to trespass in the Hall of Longevity, and now he is in this hall?"

I couldn't hide in the end, so I stepped out and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.

"My humble minister Xie Lingxi, see the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a happy life and a healthy life."

"Raise your head." The queen mother said coldly.

I slowly raised my head and faced the Queen Mother squarely, fearlessly.

Before saluting and talking with the concubine, everyone lowered their heads slightly, so no one could see my face clearly. When I raised my head and looked straight ahead, everyone's eyes were focused on me.

Gasp, tsk tsk sound incessantly.

It seemed that after a long time, the queen mother said slowly, "You look really good. With your looks, you shouldn't have no improvement in three years."

"It's Ling Xi's fortune is poor, his body is weak, and he has been bedridden for a long time."

"So why do you suddenly want to compete for favor?"

"Ling Xi has been lying on the sick bed for a long time and deeply felt the coldness of the world, and finally made up his mind not to hide from the world." He sighed, "I never thought that even though I was banned from Nanshan Pavilion, I would still be murdered by various means. If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape from this fire, I'm afraid I also have no chance to meet the Queen Mother."

"You mean someone hurt you?"

"Indeed."

"Then what evidence do you have?"

I shook my head, "It's lucky that Ling Xi almost saved his life, the evidence must have disappeared in that fire."

"If that's the case, forget it, and serve the emperor with peace of mind in the future, just don't cause any more fights in the harem."

The queen mother specially emphasized the word "struggle", and I understand it.

"The humble minister must restrain himself and keep the etiquette, and "serve" the emperor well."

"So good."

"Come on, let Aijia take a look," she waved her hand, and I stepped forward in response.

"Aijia really likes your appearance. If Concubine Wang has your attitude, it should be a dream come true." She glanced at Concubine Wang who was standing aside, and Concubine Wang blushed with shame.

I smiled and said, "The imperial concubine is beautiful and heavenly, and it is only a matter of time before the dream bears an omen. A few days ago, I heard from your majesty that the imperial concubine is busy with the affairs of the Eastern Palace. She is virtuous and capable, and is deeply loved."

Everyone loves to hear good words, even if they are false, no one would dare to ask the emperor if he praised the noble concubine Wang - even if he did ask, would the emperor still deny that he praised the noble concubine Wang?

"Who's talking about me?" Footsteps came one after another, followed by the eunuch's voice, "The emperor is here." Followed by King Heng.

I really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, my heart skipped a beat, I didn't dare to see him again, and knelt down with all the concubines.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Who was talking about me just now?" Li Zhenrui asked again.

He clearly recognized my voice, but he kept asking me again and again, is he waiting for me to make a fool of myself?It is true that I am too confident, but——will he punish me?

My palms were slightly sweaty, and I replied, "I report to the emperor, I am a humble minister."

"It turned out to be my beloved concubine, and I will remember it so well even if I don't mean it." He said slowly.

"My minister talks too much, the emperor forgives me." I lowered my head.

"If you have time to talk too much, why don't you learn gentleness and virtuousness from Wang Guifei and Bei Chenjun, so as not to make mistakes in words and deeds, and be laughed at by all the concubines." Li Zhenrui's cold voice was strange to me that I had never seen before.

I leaned down, "I thank the emperor for teaching me."

"Brother Huang is really strict, he doesn't show mercy to such a beauty, alas, what a pity." King Heng shook his head and sighed.

"What a pity, my harem is full of beauties, wouldn't it be annoying for everyone to pity me?" Li Zhenrui said disapprovingly.

"Brother Huang is right, that's why I decided that I only want one person to grow old together in this life." King Heng said unintentionally, but I couldn't help but raise my head.

And he glanced at me inadvertently, and immediately stood there in a daze, saying two words in his mouth, his eyes full of complex colors.

I quickly lowered my head.

"Did Concubine Ai think of something?" Li Zhenrui looked at me and asked.

"My minister just thinks that Concubine Heng is really lucky." I said calmly, "Heng Wangye and Princess Nanyang are really a match made in heaven, a pair made in earth."

"I... Xi..." King Heng seemed to be about to say something but was interrupted by another voice, and Mo Cairen beside him said with a coquettish smile, "Since Mr. Xigui is envious, why not become Princess Heng."

His words startled a thousand layers of waves, and immediately caught me in injustice.

I sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I only have the emperor in my heart, I'm afraid I will fail Mo Cairen's persuasion."

"You...I didn't persuade you, Yingzhu was just joking." Mo Cairen was startled, and hurriedly explained in a panic.

"I don't want to hear this kind of joke again next time." Li Zhenrui's voice sank, obviously displeased.

Mo Cairen's expression changed several times, he glared at me resentfully, and said again and again, "Your Majesty forgive me, my concubines dare not."

"Well, the atmosphere has changed, the emperor is here today?" The queen mother asked a little unhappy.

"General Fan made a good news from thousands of miles away, saying that Beiliang intends to send envoys to visit us in Daxia after seeking peace, and will officially issue the letter of credence next month."

"It's great that we can finally stop the war! Then it seems that it's not long before we host a banquet for the envoys."

"That's right, the specific arrangement has been handed over to Concubine Wang Guifei and Lord Beichen. I hope the Queen Mother will give them more guidance, so that there will be no mistakes."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

I listened to the words between the queen mother and Li Zhenrui, which seemed relatively unfamiliar.Li Zhenrui never greeted the Queen Mother from the beginning to the end when he came in, nor did he call the Queen Mother.And the queen mother didn't smile at Li Zhenrui, but looked at Heng Wang with gentle eyes.

It seems that their relationship is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface.

After listening to the gossip of the concubines for a while, they finally finished paying their respects, and everyone left Yanxiang Palace one after another.

Although I was calm on the surface, I was always careful not to neglect. Now that I finally came out of the palace, I naturally wanted to leave quickly and leave the others far away.

I don't understand why Li Zhenrui was kind to me a few days ago, but he is so indifferent to me when he sees me today, which makes me feel embarrassed among all the concubines and concubines.

It seems that he really doesn't like masculinity, otherwise he wouldn't be unmoved by me.

But our bet continues.

Nowadays, there are many people who are not good at masculinity, but since Li Zhenrui has accepted so many male concubines, and also called male concubines to sleep, how could he not be good at Long Yang?It can be seen that being an emperor also has his helplessness.

It's no wonder that I only heard about which concubine in the East Palace was favored and which concubine was punished. There was a good show every three days, but the West Palace was very peaceful.

It's not that there are no contenders for favor, I'm afraid they all return in vain.

However, since I have taken this step, there is no way to retreat.

After pondering over and over again, my chances of going out of the palace are hopeless, and it's really hard to compete with Fan Jianbin in my current position.If Li Zhenrui didn't get the attention, I'm afraid it won't be long before he disappears?

Thinking of this, even if I have no chance of winning the bet, I must give it a try.

Li Zhenrui, whether you like me or not is up to you, but whether you like it or not is up to me.

I don't believe that I, Xie Lingxi, can't leave a trace in your heart.
