Spring Banquet

Chengxu has been indignant for a while, because his master is really kind to his wife, and his wife laughs every day, as if she doesn't know the hard work of the master.

But now, with the news just sent from Kyoto, Chengxu's expression is very complicated.

The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty somehow had close contacts with the envoys of Xiliang, not to mention buying a large amount of Xiliang weapons, food and grass, and let the first general of Xiliang and Liu Yunlie's sister become relatives.

These things happened in just one month, and the actions were so swift that they did not give the courtiers more opportunities to discuss. The general of Xiliang entered the capital, and after the wedding he rushed to the war-torn Pingling to take over the army. Brought the people of the imperial court into Pingling, and went down to five cities.

This is indeed to bring back a lot of face for Li Huailin at this critical juncture, but at the same time, everyone is also clear-the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not hesitate to introduce wolves into the house, but also to suppress those monarchs.

There was a rumor that the Eastern Jin Dynasty borrowed grain and grass to Ziyang, but there was no evidence, but now that the generals of Xiliang entered the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is known to all dynasties.

Chengxu understood in an instant why his wife had given Baihua Jun a favor.

"She is worried about you." Standing next to her own monarch, she said in a low voice.

Princess Danyang has always done things without regard for her reputation, but this time, she took care of her.

Jiang Xuanjin was reading the battle report. After hearing the words, her eyelashes trembled, and she looked up at Li Huaiyu in the inner room.

She hasn't slept well recently. There are two black spots right now, and her eight-month-old belly can only lie flat. At this moment, she is leaning on the soft couch half asleep and frowning.

My heart moved slightly. He got up and walked over lightly.

Li Huaiyu heard the noise and opened a pair of wistful eyes: "Huh?"

Someone sat down on her couch, took the porcelain jar from the wooden cabinet next to her, and asked, "Would you like to eat?"

The jar was filled with sour plums she had eaten as snacks, so I smashed her mouth twice, Huaiyu nodded, sat up on her back, and yawned. Seeing him stretched out his hand, squeezed the plum, handed it over, and turned to go. bite.

Slender fingers pinched Meizi and backed away. Jiang Xuanjin lowered her head to take the position and kissed her lips fiercely.

Li Huaiyu: "..."

This person has always been not very active, but I don't know what happened today. He pressed his hand on the back of her head and didn't let her back at all. The tip of his tongue squeezed her teeth open and licked her lips and teeth.

With inexplicable heat on his face, Huaiyu grunted twice, and put his hand on his chest, trying hard to get a chance to breathe.

"Didn't you mean...Don't you make love in front of it?" He stared at him, Huaiyu pointed at his stomach, aggrieved, "Last time I wanted to kiss you in the courtyard, you hide!"

With a low "um", Jiang Xuanjin held Meizi and covered her lips again.

It was not that he wanted to hide, but that there were too many people in the courtyard that day, and he didn't like to show people that he was out of control.

As long as he approached her recently, he couldn't control himself a little. Ben wanted to endure for a few more months. But... I'm sorry, I can't help it anymore.

"You..." Huaiyu couldn't laugh or cry. Just as he wanted to act like a baby and said that he was uncomfortable, the man half hugged her in his arms, put his hands on his waist to save her effort, then lowered his head and kissed more deeply.

Huaiyu felt that Jiang Xuanjin was unusual, but he also felt that this kind of unusualness was good, too lazy to care, stretched out his hand to hook his neck and bit his tongue restlessly.

Spring is coming soon. It's really a season for two people to stay together.

In addition to the battle report and the court situation, the news from Kyoto inevitably includes some news about Li Huailin.

Qing Si said: "Your Majesty has driven Concubine Ning into the cold palace."

Huaiyu leaned against the bed with her long hair loose, and frowned upon hearing this.

Huailin likes Concubine Ning very much. What is this behavior for? Could it be because Ning Zhendong hasn't done much recently and left her out?

However, for children, they just can toss and feel that feelings come from their own temperament. That is to say, she only knows to cherish, know to maintain, and know that anyone's true heart is not easy to come by.

In the court hall a long time ago, when Ziyang Jun was reprimanding Li, he once asked Li Huailin: "Dare to ask your Majesty, if your concubine Ning's life is dead, and someone lays in the dark for harm, what will your Majesty do?"

At that time Li Huailin said, "I must guard her, catch the wicked, and punish severely!"

But now, Concubine Ning is in Leng Palace, and Li Huailin is sitting in her Hexi Palace holding Concubine Shu.

"What is your majesty thinking?" Concubine Shu asked with a smile.

Recovered, Li Huailin smiled lightly: "What can I think of, I naturally want to love my concubine."

Frozen, Concubine Shu was a little embarrassed, but she was still shy on her face: "The court concubine is here, so where does your majesty need to think? The court concubine made plum cake, your majesty would like to try it?"

Suddenly a little impatient, Li Huailin said, "The battle in Pingling is on the cusp. You still have dreams of these flowers."

Concubine Shu was startled and knelt down quickly.

The emperor is unreasonable. When he is in a good mood, he won't be angry at anything you do. But once he is in a bad mood, a plate of plum cake may cause a penalty.

Concubine Shu's eyes were red.

If not for family glory. Who wants to come into the palace? Especially this emperor, moody and uncertain, it is really scary. When she was not favored before, she was quite jealous of Concubine Ning, but when she arrived in front of Sheng Shang, Concubine Shu suddenly felt that this favor was not easy to take.

Glancing at Concubine Shu's expression, Li Huailin was furious: "Retreat."

If she was pardoned, Concubine Shu took her skirt and backed out. She walked quickly and seemed terrified.

Smiled mockingly. Li Huailin got up.

His harem is very big and there are so many people, who is he looking for?

It's just that these women seem to be so courageous, he changed his tone a little, and they knelt on the ground shivering. No one dared to take his hand to comfort him, and no one hummed a little song to him.

After walking around in the harem for a while, Li Huailin pursed his lips and went to He Guibi's palace.

He Guibi and Ning Wanwei are handkerchiefs, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. Even if they are both concubines, they have never been jealous. He went around for a long time, pretending to be passing by, and stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty." He Guibi bowed first, invited him to the seat, and then asked, "Why come to my concubine here?"

"Just walk around." Li Huailin Yu Guang glanced at her, sitting still.

No one in the harem would intercede to Ning Wanwei, but He Guibi would. As long as she said something, he would give her a face and go to the cold palace to have a look.

However, He Guibing lowered his head to accompany him to drink tea, and remained silent.

Li Huailin became a little irritable: "Are you dumb?"

He Guibi shuddered, got up with her skirt, and knelt down towards him: "Your Majesty calms down."

Why are they like this? Li Huailin couldn't understand: "You can't learn from Ning Wanwei and fight for favor?"

Staring at the carpet with complex expressions, He Guibi shook his head: "My concubine dare not."

"Why don't you dare?" Li Huailin became more angry. "The concubines in my harem are all pure-hearted and low-spirited, one by one without fighting with the world?"

"No." He Guibi whispered, "It's just that Concubine Ning has done nothing wrong, and loves His Majesty deeply. If you have such an end, how can concubines and others dare to make a mistake?"

I finally said it, even if the words were offensive. Li Huailin also loosened his eyebrows and sneered: "She loves me so much?"

"Concubine Ning is infatuated, and the harem knows it." He Guipi pursed her lips. "It's just that she was imprisoned in the cold palace for no reason, and she didn't know what her heart cold became."

Is it cool? Li Huailin was startled, and subconsciously said: "She was the one who ignored me first."

If it hadn't been for her not to please him for so long, he wouldn't lose his temper suddenly.

He Guibi paused and said, "I wonder if your majesty has asked the servant. Concubine Ning Guizhi went to Longyan Palace to send desserts many times and was stopped outside."

Eyelids twitched, Li Huailin got up: "What did you say?"

"She ignores anyone, and will not ignore your Majesty." He Guibi wanted to stay calm, but she was still a little angry, and her tone was slightly heavier. "Your Majesty finds her easily, but she finds her majesty with all kinds of twists and turns, you Not sure?"

Of course, I don't know, but I have been caught up in Pingling's affairs recently. He has no time to enter the harem. The people around him were newly selected and didn't say much to him.

Realizing that someone might be doing things behind him, Li Huailin looked at He Guibing several times, and asked uncomfortably, "Should I go to Lenggong to see it?"

He Guibing stood up and saluted: "Send your majesty."

Li Huailin was a little annoyed, annoyed at He Guibing's clear expression, and annoyed that he had wronged others.

Apart from anger, there is still a little panic.

Concubine Ning, will you be angry with him?

The sky was getting dark, and Li Huailin basically walked all the palaces today, and finally stopped at the door of the cold palace.

The dilapidated palace was not as gorgeous as Hexi Palace, and Ning Wanwei sat by the lantern. All dressed in plain clothes, his face turned pale. Hearing the movement, I thought it was the maid who came back with the meal, and said without turning her head: "You can eat it, I don't need it anymore."

Folding his brows, Li Huailin said in a vicious voice, "Don't eat and wait to starve to death?"

Shaking her shoulders slightly, Ning Wanwei turned her head and saw that she wore the familiar dragon robe. She was startled, kneeling and saluting: "Sin concubine, please peace of mind."

If she didn't know the situation, Li Huailin would still feel that she understood the rules, but knew that she had done nothing wrong and heard the word "guilty concubine", Huailin felt a little uncomfortable, and reached out to help her: "Flat body."

Standing up following his strength, Concubine Ning said nothing, only gently shook his hand on her wrist, frowning and said: "Your Majesty has a cold."

No complaints. She didn't feel wronged either, it was his body that she distressed first.

His throat tightened, Li Huailin didn't start, because he couldn't say what he had prepared before.

People are like this. The more gentle they are treated, the more willful they are, especially the insecure people who feel that they are not worthy of such good treatment. They will always subconsciously test others to see how good she can be.

"I want to drink soup." He squeezed his neck and said, "You can make me two bowls and you can go back to Hexi Palace."
