"

The eunuch moved a stool for Xia Cheng, and Xia Cheng sat down and started to play the piano, without any expression, Jiang Zixuan wanted Xia Cheng to go down after playing the song, but Jiang Zihong stopped him: "Young master Xia is really good at playing the piano, Your Majesty is a person who cherishes talents, and he certainly doesn't want you to stay in that world of mortals."

Jiang Zixuan said with a smile: "My people, I have my own plans. King Cheng is too worried. King Cheng should take good care of your servants."

Jiang Zihong was choked up by Jiang Zixuan's words, just about to pat the table and leave. The queen mother shook her head at him and smoothed things over, "Why is the family banquet so unpleasant today? I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare Laba porridge for everyone to try. Serve up the Laba porridge."

The others expressed their thanks one after another: "Thank you Queen Mother."

Jiang Zixuan called Xia Cheng to his side to pour wine and vegetables for him. After the banquet, Jiang Zixuan sent Xia Cheng back to his bedroom, and told De Sheng: "Today's Laba, send someone to deliver Laba porridge to Mr. Xia."

Xia Cheng said indifferently: "The emperor doesn't have to do this for the sake of the slave family, and the slave family is not willing to be anyone's substitute."

Jiang Zixuan said: "Young Master Xia, don't misunderstand me. I treat you like this because you were sent by the queen mother, and it's just for others to see. You are indeed somewhat similar to Ah Cheng, but you are not him, and I don't know how to treat you." Treating you as him, I have sent people to check, you already have someone you like, and when Ah Cheng comes back, I will give you back your freedom, before that, you must continue to sing this show with me."

Xia Cheng knelt down and said: "I thank the emperor for your kindness, I am all sent by the emperor."

Jiang Zixuan helped Xia Cheng up and sat beside him, Desheng also brought in the Laba porridge, Jiang Zixuan said to Desheng: "I will sleep here tonight, you all get back."

Desheng seemed to understand, and asked all the eunuchs and maids to leave. After Xia Cheng made the bed, he said: "Your Majesty, the bed is made, you can go to bed first."

Jiang Zixuan waved his hand and said: "You come here first." Xia Cheng walked up to Jiang Zixuan and was pulled into his arms, Jiang Zixuan said: "Don't be afraid, this play needs to be done well."

As he said that, he took off Xia Cheng's coat, peeled off half of the clothes to expose his shoulders, and bit Xia Cheng's neck a few times, Xia Cheng let out a muffled snort.Afterwards, Jiang Zixuan let go of Xia Chengdao: "Go to bed tonight, I still have some memorials to approve."

Xia Cheng pulled up his clothes and lay down on the bed, Jiang Zixuan reviewed the memorial in the small study in the room, Xia Cheng fell asleep without knowing it, Jiang Zixuan reviewed the memorial all night.

Until Desheng shouted outside: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court, and I will serve you to change your clothes."

Jiang Zixuan quickly sat by the bed and shouted: "Come in."

Desheng brought the maids in quietly, changed Jiang Zixuan's clothes, washed his hair, and combed his hair. Jiang Zixuan looked at the human being on the bed and said, "Don't rush to wake Xia Cheng up, let him sleep for a while, and let the imperial dining room have more sleep." Get some tonic soup and send it over."

Desheng replied: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."

After Jiang Zixuan finished speaking, he left the palace, Xia Cheng woke up after a while, and the maid who was serving said respectfully: "Young Master Xia, you are awake, and the servants will clean up for you."

When the maid was washing Xia Cheng, she found the red mark on Xia Cheng's neck and confirmed that Jiang Zixuan favored Xia Cheng last night. Xia Cheng sat sleepily in front of the mirror and was at the mercy of the court ladies.

A court lady came to the Empress Dowager of the Palace of Compassion and Ning and said: "Empress Dowager, the emperor favored Mr. Xia last night, and when the servants were serving you, they saw the red mark on Mr. Xia's neck."

The maid beside the queen mother said: "Your servant is right, the emperor is a man after all, and Mr. Xia is so similar to that one, how can the emperor hold back."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, "Come on, reward me."

In this way, Jiang Zixuan almost stayed in Xiacheng Palace for several days, but Jiang Zixuan either reviewed the memorials all night, or slept on the bench. Xiacheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave up the bed to Jiang Zixuan, and slept on the bench by himself. .

47. Decline

After a long time, everyone in the palace thought that Xia Cheng was the future master of the harem, and most of them were respectful to Xia Cheng. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the Empress Dowager came to Xia Cheng early in the morning.

Xia Cheng hurriedly dressed up and came out to salute: "I see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is well."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Get up quickly, why does Mr. Xia still call himself a slave? The emperor loves you, and status is a matter of time. Come and show the Ai family."

Xia Cheng stepped forward, the queen mother sized her up and said, "Well~ she is indeed a beauty in the world, no wonder the emperor likes it, Ai asked you, do you really want to serve the emperor by his side?"

Xia Cheng faltered and said: "If the emperor likes it, the slave will naturally be willing, but the status of the slave is humble, and I am afraid that I am not worthy of staying with the emperor."

At this time, Jiang Zixuan came in from the door and said: "Why not, Xia Cheng has been with me for some time, and I plan to give you the title of Concubine Xian. She is quiet and gentle, and she is very suitable for you."

Xia Cheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Long En, I am afraid that the slave will not be able to bear it, so I ask the Emperor to take it back."

The queen mother added fuel and jealousy: "Why not, Xia Cheng, you should obey, otherwise do you want the emperor to get a bad reputation?"

Xia Cheng glanced at Jiang Zixuan, Jiang Zixuan nodded and asked him to respond first, Xia Cheng knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Jiang Zixuan helped him up with a smile, and said to Desheng: "Inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Xia Cheng will be granted the title of Concubine Xian and will live in the Jiaofang Palace. The etiquette of canonization is cumbersome. I'm afraid Concubine Xian will not like it, so let's get rid of it."

The queen mother saw it in her eyes and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor for the beauty, the Ai family will not disturb the emperor here, Concubine Xian must do her best."

Jiang Zixuan and Xia Cheng said: "The queen mother walks slowly."

After the queen mother left, Desheng also went to the House of Internal Affairs. The news spread to the ears of the palace and ministers in an instant. Of course, the dark pavilion also knew about it. Mr. Cheng Xia.

A somewhat angry killer said: "Master, the master of the young pavilion is not here, this emperor is ungrateful and ungrateful, so he needs to clean up for the master and teach him a lesson."

An Ye shook his head and said: "No, the lord only gave us an order to protect the emperor, if we act rashly without the lord's order, I'm afraid you and I will be whipped, bear with it, the lord will be back soon, when we arrive It’s not too late to tell the Lord about this.”

After the banquet, in the Jiaofang Palace, Xia Cheng said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to do this, right? It may be difficult to get away with a famous minister."

Jiang Zixuan said: "It's just for the world to see. It's better to make you a concubine than when they send an official son. Besides, your favorite person, don't you want to know why he hasn't come to you yet?" .”

Xia Cheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep silent, Jiang Zixuan thought of Ning Beicheng's words, they were all infatuated poor people.

Sighing, he comforted: "You don't have to be sad for that kind of ungrateful person who abandons you to marry an official woman, but it's just a waste of time. After that, he won't go far in the officialdom. You might as well be at ease. If you are a concubine here, rich and powerful, I will not touch you, if you think of another way to go, I will arrange it for you."

Jiang Zixuan's words made Xia Cheng understand a lot, and it was more or less just Xia Cheng's own wishful thinking. Jiang Zixuan saw that Xia Cheng was not disturbed by this, so he walked out.

Before leaving, Ling Xiao glanced back at the lost and sad Xia Cheng, who was noticed by Jiang Zixuan, and ordered: "I have important matters to deal with tonight, and General Ling will stay here to protect Concubine Xian."

"But... but my subordinates want to protect the emperor." Only then did Ling Xiao recover and realize that he had been rude.

Jiang Zixuan said softly: "I know you like him, and I will give you a chance to take good care of him. I am surrounded by killers from the secret cabinet, so it doesn't matter if you are not here."

After Jiang Zixuan finished speaking, he left the Jiaofang Hall, Ling Xiao stood up and said to the guards: "There are people coming and going tonight, strengthen the patrol, and cheer up."

Ling Xiao stood at the door and silently watched Xia Cheng alone sad and drunk. After Jiang Zixuan left Jiaofang Palace, he came to the former Chu Palace, which was full of memories of him and Ning Beicheng.

Jiang Zixuan's people walked in every corner of Chu Palace, recalling the scene of having dinner with Ningbeicheng in the pavilion, recalling the appearance of Ningbeicheng playing the piano in the yard, and recalling the time when they were lingering with Ningbeicheng in the room, Jiang Zixuan hugged the pillow for a long time Said: "Ah Cheng, are you okay tonight, New Year's Eve?"

During the happy days of the family, only Jiang Zixuan was full of thoughts in the room.

He Ming also prepared a lot of things for a banquet on New Year's Eve. Everyone ate and drank happily, but Ning Beicheng was drinking alone. Seeing this, He Ming came to Ning Beicheng with a glass of wine and said, "Junior Brother What are you thinking, on a happy day, senior brother toasts you."

Ning Beicheng squeezed out a smile and clinked a glass with He Ming, then drank one after another by himself, while Yi Feng and Ying Ying were secretly serious, seemingly drinking together, but in fact they were competing, Ning Yue couldn't stop and just sat down Beside Ning Beicheng.

Seeing that Ning Beicheng had been drinking so much, Ning Yue said, "Your Majesty, drink less. It's easy to get drunk after drinking like this. Besides, why are you so sad for that bastard? He already has a new love."

Ning Beicheng smiled and said: "Little girl, you know what I'm thinking again, and you said he has a new love, who is it?"

Ning Yue snorted coldly and said, "Huh~ Don't you believe it, a new top card named Xia Cheng was sent into the palace by the Queen Mother, he is somewhat similar to you, and he still stays with you."

Ning Beicheng's eyes were a bit gloomy, he was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and he didn't know what Jiang Zixuan's situation was, but Ning Beicheng always believed that it was impossible for Jiang Zixuan to just look for someone else, and felt that he had no choice.

Ning Yue saw that something was wrong in Ning Beicheng and thought
