Harem Empress

Chapter 42 Staying in Xiangyuan Pavilion

There was the sound of a shift outside the hall, and Yinshi opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Emperor Jingyang beside his pillow. Those two flutes had gratified smiles on their faces. "Qin, Shuang" finally merged.

"That Lantian jade flute is always by my side." Emperor Jingyang's voice came from behind, "I still remember that I met a little girl playing the flute in the Imperial Garden ten years ago, because I was very nervous at that time. I was naughty so I accidentally fell off the rockery. That little girl even bandaged me up. I asked her a lot of questions, but she didn't bother to answer them. At that time, she left in such a hurry that she didn't even know that she dropped the jade flute .”

Looking at the Emperor Jingyang in front of him suddenly, it turned out that we met ten years ago, and the boy back then turned out to be the current Emperor Jingyang, with an unexpected smile on his face, gently stroking the jade flute in front of him .

At the moment of Yinshi, Emperor Jingyang went to the court. Since the concubine who was serving the bed could not stay longer in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he called Taxue in and simply dressed me up before returning to Xiangyuan Pavilion in a hurry, because later I also want to go to Ningfeng Palace to thank you.

After breakfast, I went out of the gate of Xiangyuan Pavilion and walked in the direction of Ningfeng Palace. After walking a few steps, I was caught up by the Sumerians behind, and walked towards Ningfeng Palace while talking. Concubine Yuan's chariot just arrived outside the gate of Ningfeng Palace. Concubine Yuan raised her mouth slightly, wiped her nose with a silk handkerchief, and said coquettishly: "I heard that yesterday, In the evening, sister Danbi will attend the bed!"

Standing there without saying a word, he looked up at Concubine Yuan's disdainful eyes, and said tactfully: "It's the concubine, concubine Yuan, who is still pregnant and serving the emperor, let us sisters! "

Concubine Jin's soft laughter came from a distance, "Hehe, Sister Concubine Yuan doesn't want to take risks!" After speaking, she lightly pointed at Concubine Yuan's belly, she didn't stop but went straight walked into Ningfeng Palace.

Su Meiren and I followed Concubine Jin into Ningfeng Palace without saying anything, and Concubine Yuan sternly scolded me from behind: "Luo Huo, Mengjuan helps me in."

Sitting on the main hall of Ningfeng Palace is an elegant queen, He Guifei and Kang Concubine are sitting on both sides in a gentle and elegant manner. Seeing me walking in, He Guifei smiled and nodded at me, and hurriedly walked forward and knelt down. After saluting in front of the queen, she sat quietly on the side.Strange, Concubine Yuan is clearly behind, why not come in now, Concubine Yuan walked in holding Mengjuan's hand while she was wondering, while the other hand was behind her waist, Concubine Yuan's belly looked like Already pregnant, I saw Concubine Yuan walking leisurely, walking up to her seat with her head proudly held high and sat down, wondering why Concubine Yuan did not salute like the queen!I have never heard that the emperor exempted the imperial concubine Yuan from the gift of the province!
Concubine Jin cast a disdainful glance at Concubine Yuan, and said coldly, "Yo! Sister Yuan Concubine doesn't even salute when she sees the Empress! I have never heard the emperor say that she would waive my sister's ceremony!"

"My sister doesn't know. My sister is more than five months old now. The child in her stomach is making a lot of noise. I really can't be polite. Sister Jin doesn't understand the feeling of having a child. I hope the queen will Your Majesty, don't blame your concubine for being rude!" Concubine Yuan faced Concubine Jin's provocation arrogantly, both humiliating Concubine Jin and explaining the reason like a queen.

"Okay, this palace is also a person who came here, so the Concubine Yuan will be exempted from the provincial ceremony in the future!" The queen said solemnly.

The queen's embellishment made Concubine Jin in front of her hate Concubine Yuan even more. Concubine Jin stared at Concubine Yuan in front of her, her teeth itching with hatred, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a terrible smirk on her face, and she said: "This The palace has never conceived a child, and the empress is magnanimous, so she spared my younger sister the ceremony of confinement, but there is something that the concubine still wants to ask the empress face to face."

Concubine Jin said this, the queen was stunned for a moment, and then said gently: "Sister Jinfei, if you have any questions, just ask."

"The palace rules are strict, and it is clearly stipulated that only the queen can wear tassels that are vertical to the shoulders. Today, a concubine looks at the tassels that are worn by a person in this hall. The length is the same as that of the empress. This is ignoring the palace rules. How should the Empress deal with her behavior!" Concubine Jin looked at Concubine Yuan opposite and said proudly.

As soon as Concubine Jin’s words fell, all the people in the hall who did not wear tassels secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only Concubine Yuan and Concubine Kang wore tassels in the hall. After careful comparison, the tassels on Concubine Kang’s head were compared to Concubine Yuan’s. To be shorter, the queen also looked at Concubine Kang and Concubine Yuan in surprise, but her eyes stopped on Concubine Yuan's head. The tassels on Concubine Yuan's head happened to be perpendicular to her shoulders, and both sides wore tassels. .

Concubine Yuan, who was seen as unnatural by everyone, stretched out her hand and gently touched the tassels on her head. It was indeed longer than the usual ones. Why didn't she notice it before, and her eyes began to become a little flustered.

"Concubine Yuan, how do you explain it!" The queen sitting on Feng asked coldly while staring at Concubine Yuan below.

"Concubine, concubine, accept punishment." Concubine Yuan knelt down and said, secretly anxious in her heart, now that she wants to quibble, no one will believe her. Instead, she has committed the crime of transgressing the rules. It is better to admit it quickly and not give it to her. She has room for manoeuvre, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to prevent her from being framed by all her defenses.

"Concubine Yuan disregards the palace rules. For the sake of your hard work in conceiving the emperor's heir, I will deal with it lightly and punish you for copying the Diamond Sutra." The queen sitting on Feng said solemnly.

The queen is not stupid, she wants to use his hands to get rid of the child in the womb of Concubine Yuan, how could the queen take the bait so easily, concubine Jin would be a little underestimating the queen by doing this.

After finishing the province, I accompanied Su Meiren out of Ningfeng Palace, and Su Meiren said to me excitedly: "Sister, don't blame my sister for making claims."

Looking at the Su Meiren who hesitated in front of him with a little surprise, he said with a smile, "Is there something you want to tell me, sister?"

"My younger sister has already asked the queen, and the queen agreed, that is, my younger sister will move to Xiangyuan Pavilion to live with her sister soon." Su Meiren looked at me excitedly and said.

Moved here to live with me, what kind of medicine did she buy in that gourd?There was a constant murmur in their hearts, and then they each exchanged a few words, and then went back.

Sitting on the window couch in Xiangyuan Pavilion, thinking about what Su Meiren said today, Taxue on the side seemed to see that I had something on my mind and whispered: "Your Majesty, we can definitely refuse."

"No, if you refuse directly, it will hurt your sister's peace." Said thoughtfully.

"Mother, you forgot the moment when you pretended to be crazy, when she was snickering there, if she really regarded you as a sister, when all the guards pointed at you with knives, she would stand up Pleading for you!" Ta Xueyu said earnestly.
