There are some very strict regulations in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Every year on New Year's Eve, the first day of the first month, and the second day of the first month, the emperor must spend the night in the queen's bedroom to show his affirmation and importance to the orthodoxy of the harem.However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he has the supreme power. It is the emperor himself who decides what to do with the secret affairs of the palace.It's just that the impact of breaking the rules is huge, even if it is calm on the surface.

The period from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival is the rest period for officials. If there is no emergency, the emperor will naturally not go to court.The same is true in the harem, these ten days are a rare holiday for the concubines, and there is no need to go to the queen to set rules.Only this year is noticeably different.

On New Year's Eve, the emperor left the banquet and did not visit the Queen's Jingren Palace, but took a beautiful woman back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and did not return all night!This undoubtedly cast a shocking thunder in the harem, making the battle in the harem, a place of right and wrong, more exciting.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Ling Rong was drowsy, but was awakened by Qing Yu.

"What time is it? You don't need to greet me today, why don't you rest more?" Ling Rong lazily opened his eyes, unwilling to get up.

"My lord, didn't the emperor keep Wan to wait in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night. This morning, all the empresses in the palaces went to pay their respects to the empress, and even Huigui went. My lord , won't you go and have a look?" Qingyu asked expectantly.

"Since everyone has gone, I shouldn't be an exception. Wait for me to wash up." Ling Rong smiled indifferently.

The power of gossip is enormous, this time Qingyu didn't bother with the matter of dressing the mausoleum at all, and quickly dressed the mausoleum properly.

"My lord, it's done." Qingyu said with an eager look.

"Give me some more powder." Ling Rong looked at his overly rosy complexion and said.

"Didn't the young master always dislike these things? Why is this..." Qingyu asked suspiciously.

"Don't you think my complexion is too good?" Ling Rong said helplessly.

"Your servant understands." Qingyu hurriedly put on makeup on Ling Rong, making Ling Rong look haggard.

When Ling Rong and his party arrived at Jingren Palace, Yingying, Yanyan and Yingying were already gathered in Jingren Palace. Lingrong greeted them according to the rules, and took their seats.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why don't the younger sisters have a good rest, and they all gathered in Jingren Palace in this palace?" the queen rubbed her forehead lightly and said.

"This is such a beautiful day, I thought I should come here to greet the empress." Concubine Qi said with a flattering smile.

"Concubine Qi has a heart." The queen said flatly.

The other concubines also said some auspicious words jokingly, and some of them couldn't wait to get to the point.

"It's such an hour now, why doesn't Guan Changzai come to pay his respects to the empress? Could it be that he doesn't even understand the rules of paying his respects to the empress the next day? It's really unseemly." open the mouth.

"Isn't Concubine Qi confused? It was New Year's Eve yesterday, so the emperor should watch the New Year's Eve with the empress in Jingren Palace. How could he be with that Wanchang? Which palace is this Wanchang in?" , Why haven't I heard of it before?" Concubine Hua glanced at the queen and said in a toneless manner.

"My palace had a headache last night. I was afraid that my sickness would contaminate the holy body. Naturally, I couldn't keep the New Year's Eve with the emperor, so I persuaded the emperor to go to the harem. Why, didn't the emperor go to my sister's to watch the new year?" The queen looked Concubine Hua asked.

"The empress is joking. It is a rule for the emperor and the empress to watch the night together on New Year's Eve. The concubines dare not break this rule." Concubine Hua said in a somewhat stiff tone.

"This rule is dead, but people are alive. If I'm not feeling well, it's natural for my younger sisters to serve the emperor on my behalf. No matter which sister can make the emperor happy, I will reward you heavily." The queen said kindly.

"By the way, I can't remember for a while, that Wan Chang is in that palace? The younger sister of Concubine Hua is in charge of Fengyin and manages the affairs of the harem. She must be clear?" the queen asked.

"There are so many beauties in the harem, how can the concubines remember them all? Waiting Wan often comes to greet the empress, and the concubines may remember them when they see her." Concubine Hua's unhappiness could not help showing on her face come out.

"Your Majesty is busy with personnel affairs, so naturally she can't remember a little Xiaochang who has been ill for a long time and has no favor. However, the concubine vaguely remembers who that Wanchang is. I don't know if I should say it or not." Xia Dongchun said suddenly, his expression and behavior were confused. Without the frivolousness when he first entered the palace, it is obvious that he has learned a lot of lessons in the days since entering the palace.

"Oh? Since that's the case, Xia Changzai might as well come and listen." The queen said.

"Yes, ma'am." Xia Dongchun stood up respectfully and replied: "I remember that Wan Changzai was a beautiful girl of the Han army banner who entered the palace with my concubine in September last year. After entering the palace, she fell ill due to palpitations. Later, he was quarantined in the 'Broken Jade Pavilion' to recuperate because of contracting a chronic illness.

However, the concubine and Na Guanchang were only acquainted with each other a few times, and they were not familiar with each other, and they had never heard the news that Guan Changzai had recovered from his illness and lifted the ban.Oh, by the way, the concubine remembers that Guan Changzai is very familiar with Huigui, it seems to be a small friendship, I think Huigui must know the reason for this very well. "Xia Dongchun looked at Meizhuang and said, the malice in his eyes flashed past, making Ling Rong frown.

"Yo, little friendship, is it because Huigui still wants to be with Guan Chang to imitate the story of E Huang Nv Ying?" Li Bin said with a sneer.

"Concubine Li's words are wrong, Ehuang Nvying can be imitated by anyone!" Concubine Qi said with a glance at Meizhuang.

"My concubine absolutely dare not have such treasonous thoughts, please be careful with the empress." Mei Zhuang hurriedly got up to plead guilty.

"Huigui what are you doing? Get up quickly, your body is important." The queen quickly asked Mei Zhuang to stand up.

"Thank you, ma'am." Mei Zhuang thanked him, and took his seat again, with a pale expression on his face.

"We don't know if Mr. Huigui has that kind of thought, but since Mr. Huigui and Wan Changzai are so close, I think he understands Wan Changzai's thoughts very well. Why don't you tell us sisters?" Li Pin smiled coquettishly. Said the way.

"Ms. Concubine Li was joking. Concubine and Guan Changzai only met for a while when they were young, but they haven't seen each other for many years. When they met again, they were drafted into the palace. It is true that we don't know much about each other." Mei Zhuang said in a flat tone. .

"Mr. Huigui is too modest. My sister remembers that Mr. Huigui, Guan Changzai and An Changzai have always been very close. How can you not understand?" Xia Dongchun laughed.

Hearing that he was also dragged into it, Ling Rong couldn't help gritting his teeth, wishing he could sew up Xia Dongchun's mouth.

It's just... Can a person's transformation really be so fast?Ling Rong couldn't help looking at Xia Dongchun a few more times, his face was still the same, but there seemed to be something different, maybe there was an expert pointing out behind him.

"It's just walking around normally, Xia Chang is worrying too much." Mei Zhuang said lightly.

"The Huigui sisters are very affectionate, and they don't want to tell each other. Why don't An Chang come and talk about it?" Xia Dongchun looked at Lingrong, the maliciousness in his eyes was deeper than before, and Lingrong couldn't help but feel vigilant.

"Xia Changzai was joking. The concubine only had a few encounters with Guan Changzai when she first entered the palace. She never said a word. How can there be any understanding? Xia Changzai seems to be very fond of Guan Changzai. I am very concerned, I think Xia Changzai must know Guan Changzai very well, right?" Ling Rong asked with a smile.

"Who knows her? I'm not familiar with her." Xia Dongchun said with a white look at Ling Rong.

"Okay, don't argue. Since the sisters in the harem will see each other sooner or later, today is not a day to say hello. It's not a big deal if Wan Changzai doesn't come to say hello. It's important to serve the emperor well." That's it." The queen said with a smile.

"The Queen's words are wrong. Guan Chang was still ill when he was still alive, how could he serve the Emperor? If he accidentally hurt the Eucharist, who would be able to bear it?" Concubine Hua said coldly.

"Isn't healed yet? Seriously?" The queen was shocked.

"Isn't that right, Wan Chang is here but has been recovering from illness in Suiyuxuan, and even on New Year's Eve he said he was sick and didn't show up, so somehow he ran into the emperor as soon as he turned around. Just say something." Concubine Qi hurriedly picked up the conversation.

"Which imperial doctor cured Wan's frequent illness?" The queen asked with a frown.

"It seems to be..." Concubine Qi frowned and got stuck.

"The concubine vaguely remembers that she is an imperial physician surnamed Wen?" Cao Guiren said uncertainly.

"Yes, Mr. Cao has a good memory, and he is indeed an imperial physician surnamed Wen." Xin Chang interjected.

"Why don't you send someone to ask Imperial Physician Wen? It's good for everyone to feel at ease, isn't it?" Concubine Qi suggested.

"Jianqiu, go and pass on Imperial Physician Wen!" said the Queen.

"Returning to your empress, today is the first day of the new year, and all the imperial physicians in this imperial hospital have gone to bed, only the imperial physician Zhang who gave your empress a pulse check yesterday is still in the palace. Look at this..." Jianqiu said in embarrassment.

"I'm also in a hurry and confused. If that's the case, then Jianqiu, please go and invite Imperial Physician Zhang to show Wan Changzai a look. It's very neat to see Wan Changzai's body," the queen ordered.

"It's a servant girl, let's go." Jian Qiu took the order and left.

"Okay, it's getting late now. I'm not feeling well, so I won't keep my sisters. Let's go back to rest." The queen rubbed her brows and said wearily.

"Yes, the concubines (concubines) are leaving." The queen ordered the guests to leave, and everyone had to get up and leave.

It's just that this turmoil has not calmed down, but has a tendency to intensify.
