People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Feng Shui turns in turns, the same is true in the previous dynasty, and the same is true in the harem.Since the collapse of Xie's family, Qingxi Palace has suddenly become a lot deserted, and Concubine Xu Yuan's temper has also become worse and worse, and she is not pleasing to anyone.She couldn't see the emperor, and the maids and eunuchs in other places didn't do their best for her as before. She was holding her breath all day long. It's light, after all, in the deep palace, there are many people who were beaten to death by the master.

In contrast, Concubine Shen Shu of Zhaoren Palace is so proud.Shen Guogong wanted the wind to win the wind in the former court, and she wanted the rain to win the rain in the harem.In the past few months, the emperor has only stayed in her Zhaoren Palace, and he is much more friendly to her than before.After the Empress Dowager Shen found out about this, she was quite relieved, and at the same time she did not forget to tell her: "An'er, you have to remember. The reason why you are able to receive the emperor's favor today is mostly because of your father. If you can be born in the future As the heir of the emperor, sit in the position of Ai's family, and don't forget how kind your mother's family is to you."

Shen Man'an responded with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "An'er would like to follow my aunt's teachings."

Inside Zhaoren Palace, soothing incense is lit, and the smoke is like mist.The court lady blew out several lamps, leaving only one flickering like a firefly.Shen Manan walked out slowly. She was only wearing an underwear, the hair accessories on her head had been taken off, and her waist-length hair was hanging down like a waterfall.She thinks she is beautiful, but every time she stands with her husband, she will feel inferior.

Song Yanche stood in front of her, like a piece of beautiful jade without any blemishes, with a fair complexion like a woman's, and the expression in his eyebrows and eyes was more affectionate than Pan An's.Shen Man'an walked up to him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, my concubine will wait for you to go to bed."

Song Yanche said gently: "No hurry, I want to have a good talk with my cousin." He has always been polite to Shen Manan, and the two have never had a heart-to-heart conversation. Shen Manan was secretly happy when she heard this, and shyly said: "The emperor wants to What did you say to Ann?"

"I want to talk to you about...Concubine Xu Yuan."

Shen Manan frowned, and quickly recovered the tenderness just now, "Sister Yuanfei, what's wrong with her?"

"Concubine Xu Yuan, charming, capricious, domineering, the Queen Mother has never liked her."

Shen Man'an smiled and said: "Sister Yuan Fei must have been spoiled in the Xu Mansion before, even if she enters the palace, she will not be able to change her temper for a while."

"That's all. But recently, I found out that she lied to me."

Shen Manan was both surprised and delighted.Who in the harem doesn't know that she and Xu Qingyang are incompatible and irreconcilable.This crime of deceiving the emperor can cause her to lose her concubine position at least, and at worst can cause her to die in Huangquan.If the emperor really intends to severely punish Xu Qingyang, she can wake up with a smile in her dreams. "Oh my god," Shen Man'an exclaimed, "How could Sister Yuanfei be so ignorant?"

Song Yanche stretched out his hand and grasped Shen Manan's waist, and Shen Manan fell into his arms.Smelling the unique fragrance of the medicine on the emperor, she immediately slammed into the deer, mustering up the courage to meet his watery eyes, "The emperor..."

"I am very angry." Song Yanqing said softly, "I want to give her some punishment, tell me, what punishment should I give her?"

Shen Manan panted softly: "An'er, An'er doesn't know..."

Song Yanche laughed at Yan Yan, and said softly: "Why don't you just take away what she is most proud of, what does my cousin think?"

"En..." Shen Manan closed her eyes, expecting the soft lips to be on her own, but Song Yanqing suddenly let go of her. "emperor?"

"The previous dynasty was in turmoil. Concubine Xu Yuan is the daughter of the Xu family. I don't want this to be known by others." Song Yanche pulled Shen Manan's hair and played with his fingertips, "Cousin, can you keep it a secret for me?"

Shen Manan blushed, "Whatever the emperor says, the ministers and concubines will naturally respond to everything."

Song Yanche nodded lightly, "The matter of the harem, I will trouble my cousin to worry about it for me."

Shen Manan's eyes widened, "Your Majesty...?"

That night, the emperor did not stay overnight in Zhaoren Palace.The palace maid felt sorry for Concubine Shu, but Shen Manan didn't care about it at all.Her heart was in suspense, always thinking about the last words the emperor said before leaving-what did the emperor mean?The empress's mother's family is nothing more than a clean book, with no power or influence. She herself is gentle and imposing, without the demeanor of a mother who respects the world at all. Could it be that the emperor really wants her to take over the harem, and even hints at her that she may Sitting on the throne of queen?

Shen Manan was so excited that she couldn't sit still, and paced back and forth in the palace.But why did the emperor talk about Concubine Xu Yuan?Concubine Yuan made a big mistake, the emperor was concerned about the situation in the previous dynasty, so it was inconvenient to take action easily, so he wanted to use her hand to severely punish Concubine Xu Yuan?

The Holy Majesty is unpredictable, and Shen Manan is not sure about her guess. If she had decided to discuss it with the Queen Mother in the past, but since the Emperor said that she should keep it a secret, this matter cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

Shen Man'an hesitated for a few days and hesitated to make a decision. She wanted to make some sideways remarks in front of the emperor, but unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the emperor, an unexpected guest came instead.She sat on the main seat, looked at the court lady kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and said lightly: "Raise your head up."

Pei Lan raised her head and said respectfully, "Concubine Xie Shu."

"You are from Qingxi Palace, why are you coming to Zhaoren Palace in this palace?" Shen Manan said coldly, "Could it be that your master asked you to come?"

Perrin shook his head, "This servant wanted to come."

"Oh?" Shen Man'an was slightly surprised.This Pei Lan, Xu Qingyang's confidant, suddenly came to find him behind his master's back, what would happen?

Pei Lan said sadly: "What Concubine Yuan has done is really, really devoid of conscience. The servants are really shocked and frightened. They know that if they continue to work for her, they will either be beaten to death by her, or they will wait for the incident to happen. , was put to death by the emperor... the servants really had no choice but to come to Concubine Shu, begging Concubine Shu to save the servants! Save dozens of people in Qingxi Palace!"

Shen Manan leaned out from her seat, and hurriedly asked, "What did she do, tell me quickly!"

Peilan choked up and said: "The concubine Yuan, she, in order to poison her own sister, gave Miss Xu San the bird's nest that entered the palace from Xixia, and deliberately concealed the taboo of using Xixia bird's nest, causing Miss Xu to almost die of poisoning. . "

"She wants to poison her sister?" Shen Manan asked incredulously, "Why would she do that?"

"I don't know. Fortunately, Third Miss Xu ordered her to be blessed and escaped. The concubine Yuan was worried, and she vented her anger on the maids and eunuchs of Qingxi Palace all day long. —If it’s these things, forget it, who knows, who knows that she still... wants to harm you, Concubine Shu!"

Shen Manan complained, "Does she want to harm Bengong?"

Peilan nodded with tears in her eyes, "She said, Concubine Shu has been favored recently, and she will definitely be pregnant with the emperor's heir soon, and it will only be more difficult for her in the palace. She must act first and order her servants to find some red flowers Come on, find time to come down to your meal... She also said that the emperor likes to listen to your empress humming the most, and I want, I want you to lose your voice, and you can no longer make a sound!"

Shen Manan almost couldn't stand when she heard the words, and the court lady beside her quickly supported her.I saw her chest heaving violently, clutching the veil tightly in her hand, panting, "Okay, good Xu Qingyang! Since you are not kind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to you!"

Shen Manan's maid felt that something was wrong, and asked Pei Lan: "Why don't you report these things to the queen, but come to our empress instead?"

Pei Lan had already prepared the answer, "The empress is weak and has long ignored the affairs of the harem. Concubine Shu is the most important person in the emperor's heart, so the affairs of the harem are naturally decided by the empress Shu."

Pei Lan's words made Shen Man'an more confident. She straightened her back and said, "With Xu Qingyang, you still want to make trouble in the emperor's harem? Hehe, dreaming! You go back to Qingxi Palace first and let me keep an eye on Xu Qingyang. Once she has If there is any movement, report it immediately."

Peilan knew that the matter was almost over, and the corner of her mouth raised an invisible arc, "Thank you, concubine Shu, for saving my life, slave."

In early February, there was another heavy snowfall in central Beijing.Xu Xilu stood in front of the window, watching the snow falling silently one by one.When the snow melts, spring will really come.

Yesterday, the people from Yu Rongbei had successfully brought Aunt Huai to Shangjing. In order to prevent others from being overwhelmed, he settled Aunt Huai in a village in the suburbs of Beijing.

On the other side, Lian Cha took the money that Jiudong sent, and she really told the whereabouts of the letter that year—after Liu's death, Dong Huatan took care of her funeral, and found her forged letter from a pile of relics , sewn in a sachet that is worn close to the body.Later, she did more and more things for Mrs. Zhang, and the fear in her heart became deeper and deeper. She knew that she would be pushed out by Mrs. Zhang to take the blame at any time, or be silenced directly, so she gave this last amulet to Tianzi A calm little daughter.

In front of everyone, Xu Anning handed the sachet to Xing Nong.Everyone held their breath, watching Xing Nong cut the sachet open with scissors, exposing the white corner.Jiudong was so excited that he jumped three feet high, "Master, it's inside, it's really inside!"

Xu Xilu nodded calmly, "Everything is ready now, the only thing we need is an east wind."

A few days later, when Xiumu happened, Xu Changying and her husband went back to her natal home to visit Xu Taihe. This time she also brought her two precious sons.There has been no sound of children in Xu's mansion for more than ten years. Xu Taihe looked at his two little grandsons running around in the yard wearing crotch pants, and his heart was full of joy, and the boredom of the past few days was swept away.

The two little guys don't know who they have learned from, they always like to cling to good-looking people.Xu Xilu, who became the face value of the Xu family, was so entangled by them that he had no choice but to take two Doudings to have fun in the yard.Soon, Xiao Douding's mantra changed from "I want to play with daddy" to "I want to play with little uncle".Fortunately, Lin Ruyun was also beautiful, and she was very patient with the children. After playing with them for a while, the Doudings followed her to beg for sweets, and Xu Xilu was able to escape.

At noon, Yu Rongbei and Xu Changying stayed for dinner.Except for Xu Anning who needed to recuperate and Xie Shi who was grounded, the members of the Xu family formed a table.Xu Taihe was in high spirits and drank a lot with his son and son-in-law.

Xu Changying persuaded in a warm voice: "Father, you should drink less, because drinking too much is not good for your health."

"This little wine is nothing to my father-in-law," Yu Rongbei complimented, "My father-in-law is always strong, and my son-in-law is ashamed of himself."

Xu Taihe said cheerfully: "It's rare that everyone is here today, I'm happy for my father, what's the matter with drinking a few more glasses?"

"That's right," Mrs. Zhang said lightly, "Master will be so happy only if Chang wins back."

Seeing that the timing was just right, Xu Changying exchanged glances with Xu Xilu, and after getting a positive answer from the other party, he put down his chopsticks and was about to speak when a servant ran in in a panic——

"Master is not well! There is news from the palace, saying, that our concubine Yuan is... almost gone!"
