Seeing Concubine Jing lowered her seductive eyes as acquiescence, the Queen Mother shook her head lightly and said: "You only see these few people and you have such an idea, but you don't know what the other girls look like that you haven't seen yet? Let's Even though these people are stopped, if another stunning woman comes in, wouldn’t it be the same result?”

Concubine Jing listened to the Queen Mother's words, thought about it carefully, and her heart became cold again.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, she had an idea in her mind, and waved to Concubine Jing: "Come on, let me tell you..." Concubine Jing walked over, put her ear to the Empress Dowager's mouth, and after hearing what the Empress Dowager said, As soon as his face relaxed, a smile was about to overflow from his face.

In the quiet afternoon, the sun languidly shone on Fengzao Palace, occasionally a streak of colorful clouds drifted past, instantly reflecting the courtyard bright and sometimes dark.Concubine Yuan leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, her mood became cloudy and cloudy like the light in the sky outside.

I think she has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she treats everyone generously regardless of whether she is superior or inferior, master or servant, and she is the one who knows etiquette the most. Who doesn't boast in this palace?After so many years, I have been thinking of finding a trustworthy eunuch by the emperor's side, but I can't. It's really sad!

It's not that Concubine Yuan didn't know it all these years, it's because the emperor was suspicious and ruthless in his daily life, he was always the only one who planted eyeliner around other people, but no one dared to do such things around him.

Little did they know that Concubine Jing hadn't figured out the emperor's temperament because she entered the palace not long ago, but because of a trivial matter, she disposed of a little maid in her palace. Who would have thought that this maid was actually the emperor's eyeliner by her side? , provoked the emperor's fury, but it was because of her natal family's power and the empress dowager's face that she stopped pursuing it, but she also solemnly warned Concubine Jing, which frightened Concubine Jing very much.Thinking about it, if he committed the crime again, according to the emperor's temper, he would not let him off.

Concubine Yuan thought again that although she had been in the palace for a long time, she suffered from the fact that her natal family did not have a strong backing. On the contrary, the whole family had to rely on her power in the palace to support her. It is not easy to stand still in this palace for more than ten years.

Concubine Yuan was lost in thought, she came in with her qin in her arms and whispered, "Return to Madam, the little Dezi next to the emperor is here."

Concubine Yuan was shocked, what is he doing here at this time?Then he collected himself, sat upright, and said softly: "Please come in."

"Greetings to Concubine Yuan." Following the voice, Xiao Dezi came in with a smile, making a gesture to salute Concubine Yuan.

Concubine Yuan leaned over and smiled and said, "Excuse me, why is your father-in-law coming to this palace today?" Xiao Dezi laughed and said, "This slave is here to speak for the emperor to your mother."

Concubine Yuan wondered: "But what's the important thing?" "Your majesty, the emperor asked the servants to inform me that there are some young ladies in the empress's mansion who are going to be selected to enter the palace." Xiao Dezi took it easy Said.

Concubine Yuan felt a 'thump' in her heart.

Xiao Dezi continued: "The emperor checked carefully and found that there is a Miss Lin Daiyu inside, who is the daughter of Lord Lin, the former inspector of Yanzhou in Yangzhou. The qualifications, the emperor verbally agreed immediately, and now Lord Lin has passed away, the emperor thought of this girl's loneliness, so he refused to order her to enter the palace to wait for election."

When Xiao Dezi said this, he took a peek at Concubine Yuan, only to see Concubine Yuan's complexion was serious, her eyes were looking directly at her, and there was no sign of panic.

Xiao Dezi said again: "There is another young lady..." Before he finished speaking, Baoqin next to Concubine Yuan couldn't help but interjected: "Why is there another young lady?" , said in the mouth: "Slaves deserve to die."

Concubine Yuan suppressed the urgency in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Please go on, father-in-law." Xiao Dezi stopped laughing and said, "Returning to your empress, there is also a Miss Jia Xichun, because she is still young, so she can't help it." You can't enter the palace as an alternative."

Concubine Yuan listened, pondered for a moment, and asked: "No more?" Xiao Dezi hurriedly said: "That's all."

Concubine Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to herself: Fortunately, there are still two people left.He asked again: "Are you sure that only the two of them are not qualified?" Xiao Dezi smiled and said: "The emperor only confessed so much to the slaves, but the other slaves don't know."

Concubine Yuan leaned back on the noble concubine's couch behind her again, seemingly tired, she waved her hand to Xiao Dezi and said, "I know, you can go." Zizi bowed to Concubine Yuan again, then turned around and left Fengzao Palace.

That night, the emperor thought that Concubine Yuan knew about this and felt uncomfortable, so he flipped Concubine Yuan's sign and stayed overnight in Fengzao Palace.Concubine Yuan was in a state of desperation, she didn't even have dinner properly, she was about to go to bed early, when she heard that the emperor was coming, she had to cheer up again, and lightly sprinkled powder to welcome the emperor.

This night, the emperor intended to comfort her, and he couldn't help being tender and caring.Concubine Yuan also served carefully and catered to her in every possible way.The two of them are actually in love with each other, and they have a deep affection, and it seems that they have returned to the wedding night more than ten years ago.After the passion was over, Concubine Yuan collapsed limply in the arms of the emperor, her blushing face was full of satisfaction, as if she was still immersed in happiness.

Suddenly Xiao Dezi's shrill voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The emperor whispered: "What's the matter?" "Back to the emperor, someone came from the Empress Dowager's palace, saying that the Empress Dowager suddenly suffered from an old illness, and the imperial doctor has already left."

The emperor got up quickly when he heard this, and the imperial concubine Yuan was also busy helping the emperor get dressed.Said: "Should I go with the emperor?" The emperor said to the concubine Yuan: "You wait here first, I will go and have a look first." Ning Gong left.

Concubine Yuan also hurriedly greeted Baoqin, put on her clothes again, and sat in the palace, and sent someone to the Queen Mother to inquire about the news.Before he knew it, it was midnight, and the little eunuch who inquired about the news said that several imperial physicians had gone to the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the emperor was staying there now, but he didn't know how sick the queen mother was.

Concubine Yuan ordered her to hold the qin and turn on the palace lantern, and she sat in front of the couch in a soft overcoat of plum blossoms in a smoke cage, her mind was spinning rapidly: A few days ago, she and Concubine Li greeted the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother came out with a message He said he was unwell, so he didn't see anyone, but later he heard that Concubine Jing was in her palace at that time, and they had a good conversation.I and Concubine Li were also at a loss when they heard about it. They thought it was because their aunt and nephew had private conversations, so it would be okay to find an excuse.Didn't the Empress Dowager look radiant again the next day?Besides, I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I have never heard of any serious illness of the Queen Mother, so why did I say that I had an old illness?It's hard to guess.
