hairpin

When Song Xian stepped into the steps in front of the main entrance of Hanyuan Hall, his footsteps paused imperceptibly, and soon he was back to normal.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that he has a natural rejection of this concubine who is the most favored in the Sixth Palace.

——She is too far from the concubine in Song Xian's impression, she is more like a woman.

Song Xian turned around the beast incense cage burning with strong ambergris spice at the door, and when he caught a glimpse of Concubine Xiao, she was leaning on the bed, her ring finger and little finger with long and narrow armor slightly raised.

Concubine Xiao Gui's index finger protruding forward has a smear of red that is not inferior to her fingernails.She stretched out her hand a little, and the big court lady who was kneeling beside her raised her face obediently, allowing the master to put rouge on her lips.

Song Xian couldn't help being embarrassed when he made a bow. He didn't know why he felt embarrassed for a while, but even his palms were sweating.

"Xian'er came to apologize to the empress." Song Xian took a light breath before speaking.

"You faint, I think this color is more decent." Concubine Xiao Gui said, before turning to Song Xian, "Xian'er is here."

Song Xian made another salute, "It's Xian'er's lack of strict governance of the government, which has caused empress trouble."

Concubine Xiao raised her hand nonchalantly, offered tea, and beckoned him to sit in front of her, "You lost a child, it should be a sad time, how can you be harsh on you."

She seemed to be about to take a rest, her long hair was not tied into a bun, but was loosely tied on the shoulders with a hairpin at the end, and the dress on her body was also in a loose style.The makeup on his face has not been removed, but his face is too pale and looks a little sick.

He still had the strong ambergris fragrance on his body, but this time Song Xian tasted something different.The aftertaste of the ambergris that burns all the year round in Hanyuan Hall is bitter and astringent, but the aftertaste in Zhaoyang Hall is sweet and bitter.

Concubine Xiao Guiying looked at him, the earrings on her ears were replaced by a pair of amethyst long pendants, which fell on her delicate neck, making the soft cloth hide a little, she said: "Xian'er came from the saint Bar."

Song Xian looked away from her earrings and answered yes.

But I didn't expect Concubine Xiao's next sentence to be, "The sage is going to give you the title of Prince."

Song Xian raised his eyes to look at Concubine Xiao Gui, and said: "Father and Xian'er mentioned something, Xian'er feels ashamed." His tone was polite, but the perfunctory meaning in his words was too obvious, so obvious that even Concubine Xiao Gui seemed to have read it. come out.

Her black and white eyeballs trembled slightly, and the drooping eyelashes covered most of them.

It meant a kind of sadness and grievance that was not appropriate in front of the nominal concubine, Song Xian immediately twitched his brows, but he did not expect that what the imperial concubine said next was even more earth-shattering.

Concubine Xiao frowned, with a bit of caution that shouldn't be shown to a person like her who holds the emperor's heart: "Is it boring to talk to me?" She sighed, "I have been talking to you for many years." I don’t talk to strangers anymore, and I don’t even know what it looks like outside.”

Song Xian didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Tang Gao and Wei Wenliu flashed in his heart, he took a closer look at Concubine Xiao Gui, seeing that she seemed to be really purely emotional, but he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, but he said it , but only one sentence, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself."

Concubine Xiao seemed to be a little sadder when she heard that, she quickly glanced at the servant standing ten steps away, and leaned forward a little.The pair of eyelashes that were as thick as crow's wings trembled, and two crystal clear teardrops fell down suddenly, and the beige brocade with tens of thousands of bat patterns shrunk by a touch, and a warm color faded.

Concubine Xiao's hands, which still had some rouge on them, touched the back of Song Xian's hands impolitely. It was as cool and soft as he expected. Her voice was low and mournful, as helpless and fragile as that rainy night. "...Xian'er...I don't want to be buried, please help me."

Song Xian was surprised, buried?

But in the blink of an eye, all the past became clear to him.

That's right, a concubine who has no children should die with her in the ancestral system.

He also thought about the day when Emperor Wu ordered Concubine Xiao Gui to give him silk satin, did he want to use him to pave a way for his favorite concubine?

Song Xian felt that it was all right, his biological mother died young, and her mother's family was only noble.

But this Xiao family is the daughter of a guilty minister, if it is an ordinary daughter of a criminal minister, it will be fine, she is an orphan left by the Xiao family.

——At that time, the Xiao family was the sin of asking the emperor to raz the nine clans.

But after thinking about it, isn't this the rare favor of the Xiao family, she is an orphan girl who relies on the emperor's favor to survive.

If I am lucky enough to be able to enter the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, the empress mother family is noble, and I become the empress dowager, it is inevitable that I will not give birth to some intentions of taking power. If I help the Xiao family...

At this moment, she is only striving for survival, and she is the emperor's favorite concubine. If she kowtows to her, it will only damage her reputation, and with Emperor Wu's partial favor standing in front of her, it will only benefit at the same time.If the queen dowagers of the two palaces stand side by side in the future, she will have to rely on the new emperor and be able to use her better.

Song Xian thought of this, and just about to speak, she heard Concubine Xiao see that he seemed undecided, she held his hand tightly, and hurriedly said: "Xian'er... I know you don't want to be in the East Palace, but this idle king is also divided." Three, six, nine, etc."

This is really...

Song Xian smiled silently in his heart, put his other hand lightly on it, and patted Concubine Xiao's sleeve reassuringly, showing the hesitation that a son who is not favored by a monarch should have, "My lady...can you?" Help Xian'er win Father's favor?"

……

After seeing off the Third Highness, Sui'er handed over a bowl of grape ice to Xiao Lingming's hand. She knelt down and fed him a delicate one, and at the same time asked curiously, "What are you talking about with the Third Highness?"

Xiao Lingming swallowed, glanced at her, and opened his mouth slightly to signal her to feed another one. Sui'er pouted and inserted another one to feed him. After Xiao Lingming ate it, he said meanly, "Song Yu taught me back then. If you want to get benefits from men for nothing, you have to ask them to pity you."

Sui'er lowered her head slightly when she heard him directly calling the current holy taboo, and then asked after he finished speaking: "But your majesty is your majesty, the third highness should be called your concubine mother, what is it for you to do things for you?" Of course, it is filial piety."

Xiao Lingming thought for a while and felt that what she said seemed to make sense, so he asked, "How do ordinary people get along with their mother and child?"

Sui'er chewed on the grapes, "How do I know this since I never had a child?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lingming stuffed a grape into her mouth angrily, "Could it be possible that this palace gave birth?" Then he said: "So what if he should call me concubine mother?"

"—That's not a man either."

……

Song Xian went to Chengge to meet Yu Ya as soon as he returned to the mansion. Yu Ya, who was supposed to be weak and sick in bed after the first month, was sitting and reading a book. Seeing him coming, she didn't get up and salute, but asked normally: "Have you returned to your father?"

Song Xian nodded, "It's already gone." He said again: "Thank you for your hard work, and saved Tao Tao from this disaster."

Yu Ya smiled and waved her hands, "Where is it for her to prevent disasters? Our house is prosperous, prosperous, and indestructible. No matter who it is, we won't do it again. No one can afford to lose two emperors and grandchildren at once. "As she spoke, she personally mixed a bowl of cold tea and handed it to Song Xian.

The tea color is thick and the tea foam is dense, and you can tell that the skill is very deep just by looking at it.Song Xian took it, and explained, "You should also pay attention to your body. Although it's not really a miscarriage, the medicine for false pregnancy will deplete your blood energy."

"It's okay, my mother has asked people to go through this prescription carefully many times. She is always more careful about my body than I am." Yu Ya paused and said: "I still envy the side concubine, she already has one. daughter, we have nothing."

She knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, but it was always unpleasant to think about it in her heart.

Yu Ya knew in her heart that Song Xian was between her and Concubine Yu, although a bowl of water seemed to be level, but she always favored Concubine Yu in her heart.

After all, she was the one who went to the palace to attend the banquet, and seeing the celestial posture of His Highness the Third Prince standing facing the wind, she insisted on begging her father to help her.

— But Concubine Yu was chosen by Song Xian himself.

Song Xian saw what Yu Ya was thinking, so he interrupted the conversation and said, "Father intends to add my prince to the title."

Yu Ya was a little surprised, Song Xianfang was over [-], although according to the rules he was pretty good.But the boss and the second child didn't get the decree until they were twenty-one.

She guessed: "Is it because of my miscarriage?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that her previous thoughts were too petty. His Highness never discussed court affairs with his side concubine, and always only talked to her, isn't this just another one.

Concubine Yu has a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, so what if she is knowledgeable and interesting, but she doesn't have a good brain that can be used.

Yu Ya thought: Song Xian is a man of heaven, his sincerity may last for a while, but it will last forever if he has to use it.
