I was a salted fish in ancient times

Concubine Lan's troubles were quickly spread in the harem, few people were genuinely worried about him, but quite a few were gloating about his misfortune.

This evening Xiao Sheng had dinner at the newly sealed beauty Wen Ruyi, before the meal was served, the two of them were talking, and Wen Meiren thought of something and suddenly pursed her lips in joy.

A beauty blooms like a flower when she smiles, Xiao Sheng likes to see a beauty smile, it's good to see his mood, not to mention he is interested in talking to Wen Shi, so he said: "What is so happy."

Wen Meiren's beautiful eyes are flowing like water: "It's just some trivial matters in the palace. The emperor might get impatient after hearing it."

Xiao Sheng sneered, his brows and eyes were light: "Since this is the case, then don't talk about it, I never like to listen to the chores of the harem."

Wen's smile froze on his face, he didn't expect this result at all.

Feeling that something was wrong, she immediately suppressed her smile and said softly: "Yes, the concubine will stop talking."

Xiao Sheng hummed, he had no interest in staying overnight, nor was he in the mood to have a meal here.

As the emperor, Xiao Sheng naturally wouldn't wrong himself in this regard, he stood up and said, "I'm back."

Wenmei was a little panicked: "The emperor..."

Wen Meiren has no special family background, she is favored entirely by her appearance.She was originally the goddaughter recognized by Mrs. Zhang Ruozhi, the magistrate of Yangzhou. A few days ago, Zhang Ruozhi brought her with her when he brought his family to Beijing to report on his work.

She has a great appearance, her face is bright and charming, and she dances well.

After Xiao Sheng saw it, he left him in the palace.

In Xiao Sheng's eyes, Zhang Ruozhi has always been a pure minister, and now this pure minister may not be pure anymore.

Xiao Sheng felt a little angry and flung his sleeves away, walked out of Wen Meiren's residence, he sat on the imperial chariot and looked at Chang Le and said: "Check out what happened in the harem." As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and said: " Check with Concubine Lan, only Concubine Lan is the only one in this palace who can make this matter known to everyone."

Speaking of Concubine Lan, thinking of her temper, Xiao Sheng also had a headache.

Chang Lebaba smiled and didn't dare to speak.

Xiao Sheng's imperial chariot circled around in the dark night and returned to Qianming Palace.

He was still angry, so he immediately called An Jiu: "Go and find out who Zhang Ruozhi has been closest to recently."

An Jiu took the order and left.

Xiao Sheng was a little annoyed, if the people in the harem had anything to do with the former dynasty, it would always make people unhappy.Yangzhou is a land of abundance, and he has always put his confidants in that position, which is a fat vacancy.

Zhang Ruozhi has done a good job in Yangzhou these past few years, Xiao Sheng knew that he wanted to stay in Yangzhou, and he had the same intention.Now it seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run.

The harem is always the place where news circulates the fastest.

Word of the emperor's departure from Wen Meiren without a meal soon reached the ears of those who were staring at her.

The harem is the place with the most right and wrong, and power, status, and favor are always things that people compete for.Wen Meiren entered the palace to steal the favor of some people, and the emperor favored her openly, no one would be envious.

Now that she has annoyed the emperor, few people feel sorry for her.Even the empress, who has always been known for her magnanimity and dignity, said after hearing this, it is time for gentlemen to restrain their temperament.

It's just that she doesn't care about Wen Meiren's affairs, but she can't pretend that she doesn't know about Lan Fei's affairs.The emperor had always disliked the harem being too noisy, and Concubine Lan was short-hearted, and she didn't know that sometimes the emperor would be angry.

They are sisters, and they are one body. Xiao Jin and Xiao Shan have a good relationship and need each other's help.If Concubine Lan loses her face, it will be difficult for her to be a queen.

Anyway, this kind of thing can't be hidden, the queen thought about it for a while and sighed deeply, and went to see the emperor.

When the queen went, Chang Le had already told what happened in Jinglan Palace.

Xiao Sheng was a little speechless, and his face was not very good-looking towards the queen.

The queen smiled and said, "The emperor is in a bad mood?"

Xiao Sheng glanced at her and said: "The empress is in charge of the six palaces, do you know why I am displeased?"

He valued the crown prince Xiao Jin, so even though the empress was not as tender as the newcomer, Xiao Sheng respected her a little more than others.

The queen stood there and pleaded guilty for Concubine Lan. She said helplessly, "The emperor knows Concubine Lan's temperament. She has no evil intentions, but she is a bit straightforward, and she doesn't think carefully about what she says and does. It's my concubine's fault, and my concubine is suspected of dereliction of duty."

Xiao Sheng didn't want to anger the queen innocently, so he said: "What does this have to do with you? Really, Xiao Shan has the same temperament as Concubine Lan. He has no scruples in speaking, and he never thinks about the consequences when he does things. I think it's all about Concubine Lan. The concubine brought him like this."

Queen: "..." Talking about Concubine Lan, she asked what Xiao Shan was doing.

Isn't Xiao Shan quite honest these two days?

She could only think about this in her heart, but she said: "What the emperor said is that the concubine will tell the prince to look at King Li more."

Thinking of Xiao Jin, Xiao Sheng sighed and said, "The birth difference between the prince and Xiao Shan is only an hour, and the personality deviation is too big." Xiao Jin works calmly, and under his background, Xiao Shan is like a baby who hasn't grown up. .

Those who didn't know thought they were ten years apart.

Having said that, the queen couldn't hide a smile on her face: "Speaking of the prince, my concubine has a happy event to report."

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows: "What happy event?"

The queen couldn't hold back, her brows and eyes were stained with a smile, she said: "Princess Liu Shi is happy."

"Really?" Xiao Sheng stood up and said.

The queen nodded with a smile: "The prince and concubine wanted to tell the emperor personally, but they thought it was not a big deal and they were afraid of delaying the emperor's court affairs, so they reported it to the concubine."

Xiao Jin told her about this after she summoned Concubine Lan.According to Xiao Jin's intention, it was supposed to be mentioned in two days.

Now that the matter of Concubine Lan happened, Xiao Jin meant to use this to divert Xiao Sheng's attention, so that he would not cling to Concubine Lan's matter.Because of this, the empress slammed the crown prince, and Xiao Jin and Liu Shi dared to hide such a big matter from her.

Xiao Jin confessed his mistakes again and again, but the queen was still unhappy. The emperor had always hoped that Xiao Jin would have a child, and this was his first son and grandson.Now that the Liu family is happy, it is a great joy, but it will become a shield for Concubine Lan to clean up the mess.

It is conceivable that the queen is upset.

Xiao Jin comforted her and said: "Mother, the real joy is the thing that can be used on the knife's edge."

What can the queen do, the queen can only convince herself like this.

"Great." Xiao Sheng had a happy face, stroked his hands and said, "Did you ask the imperial doctor for pulse?"

The queen nodded and said solemnly: "The concubine has ordered the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse, saying that it has been more than a month. The prince and princess are young, and they don't think about it because they are not feeling well. They thought it was a cold stomach. Fortunately, they asked The imperial doctor, I am not sure, so I came to report to my concubine."

"What do their little ones know?" Xiao Sheng took the queen's hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "You should worry about this matter, and you should mention them more."

The empress understood the implied meaning of these words, she said: "Don't worry, your majesty, this concubine knows what to do." She has been looking forward to her grandson for a long time, if anyone dares to make a move, don't blame her for being rude.

Xiao Sheng is really happy, now that Xiao Jin has a child, he can also shut up some people's mouths, and his crown prince will only be more stable in the future.

With this incident, the emperor forgot what happened to Concubine Lan in embarrassment.

***

After one night, news that the Crown Princess Liu's family was happy quickly spread throughout the capital.

As soon as this happened, every family was happy and every family was sad.

The eldest prince Xiao Rong directly smashed a good set of Langya colored utensils at home.

What Xiao Sheng valued was his son, his two daughters were born to Princess Rui Gu Linglong, and his son was born to his side concubine.From Xiao Rong's point of view, he seemed to be cursed, he was the eldest son, and his son was also the eldest son, destined not to be valued by Xiao Sheng.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Rong's wife Gu Linglong said: "I don't know if it's a man or a woman, why are you angry?"

Gu Linglong's surname is also Gu, but her family has nothing to do with the Empress and Concubine Lan's family.After catching up with her grandfather's generation, he was born with mud legs, so Gu Guang had a thick skin and insisted on recalling how many years ago they were the same ancestor.

At the same time, it shows that even if someone in their Gu family marries the eldest prince as a concubine, it is still a marriage bestowed by the emperor.They are worthless in front of the Gu family in the capital, and their posture is extremely low.

Xiao Rong glanced at Gu Linglong and said: "I don't want to be angry, but you are giving birth to a son."

Gu Linglong was unhappy when she heard this, and said: "I want to give birth too, but I can't help it if someone is ahead of me."

Xiao Rong was heartbroken and couldn't speak.

The depression and gloom in Xiao Rong's heart could not stop the joy of others.

All the concubines in the harem who had or had no children gave gifts to the princess to express their congratulations.

Concubine Lan carefully picked out a lot of good things, her sincerity was a thousand times better than that of Xie Zhui.

The others looked at it, and their lips curled up in their hearts.

But they had nothing to say, Concubine Lan was like this, showing good and bad things to people, very generous and calm.

Xiao Shan is quite happy for Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin and Liu's have not been without some pressure from their heirs in the past two years.

Now that it's all over, Xiao Jin and Liu Shi can also breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Concubine Lan's actions, Xiao Shan didn't take it seriously at all, he was afraid that Xie Zhui would be unhappy, so he observed it specially.

Xie Zhui had no idea about this at all, it didn't matter if Lan Fei liked him or not.

The one who married him was Xiao Shan, and some matters depended on Xiao Shan.If Xiao Shan wanted to humiliate him, it would be useless no matter how much Concubine Lan liked him, and if Xiao Shan wanted to treat him, there would be nothing that Concubine Lan could do if she hated him.With Xiao Shan's words that you don't need to get used to Concubine Lan, he won't be wronged.

What's more, he doesn't pay attention to the yellow and white things at all.

Seeing him so free and easy, Xiao Shan couldn't help being happy.

People's eyes turned to the East Palace, and there were fewer people paying attention to Prince Li's Mansion.

Xiao Shan didn't feel any pain or itch about it.

He and Xie Zhui lived their lives behind closed doors, so as not to disturb others.

Time flies, according to etiquette, after three days of marriage, he will bring Xie Chau back to Xie's mansion to meet the people in Xie's family.

It's just that Xie's mansion has no owner now, and the two of them didn't go on the day they returned home.

Xie Zhui didn't say anything about it, Xiao Shan always took this matter to heart, and then Xiao Shan took Xie Zhui to Gu's house.

There is a peach blossom garden in Gu's mansion. The peach blossoms are the most beautiful at this time of the year. Gu's mansion will post a message to everyone, asking them to come and enjoy the peach blossoms. This is also called a peach blossom feast.

Xiao Shan doesn't like this kind of banquet that leads the red line for male and female brothers in the name of appreciating flowers. Every time he comes here for the sake of face, he stays for a while and then slips away. This time he just wants to take Xie Zhui to see the flowers and relax.

Secondly, the Gu family is his maternal ancestral family, and he always takes Xie to recognize the family and relatives.

But what he didn't expect was that someone in the Gu family had such a carefree life that he insisted on making himself ugly in front of him.
