Chapter 68
Chapter 69 Scheming

"The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace!" Concubine Wan looked at Concubine Yue with vicious and hateful eyes when she left, Concubine Yue couldn't help but shudder, Concubine Wan was narrow-minded and vicious, she would definitely hate herself to the bone this time, it seemed that she was staying Can't stand it!
"Concubine Yue, you were frightened just now!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, Concubine Yue is fine!"

"You still said it's okay, look at this little face!" As he spoke, he gently scratched Concubine Yue's cheek with his finger. Faced with this sudden frivolity, Concubine Yue's face flushed suddenly, and she said coquettishly: "How can the emperor be like a man?" People in the market are so rude!"

The emperor laughed, and put his hand on Concubine Yue's chin: "Yue'er is still the most charming with shyness and timidity!" Concubine Yue's heart moved, Yue'er was an extremely intimate name, and she couldn't help leaning into the emperor with a little confusion. in the arms.

Wanhe Hall was brightly lit at night, Concubine Yue took off the hairpin from her temples, and her hair fell over her shoulders, and Ayun stood beside her.

Concubine Yue gave her the hairpin in her hand: "Try it!"

==Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and A Yun, who was originally handsome and pleasant, suddenly added a bit of coquettishness.

Immediately Concubine Yue laughed, she was too much of an outlier, and even the servants around her began to doubt.

"You look good in it, so I'll reward you!"

"The slaves dare not!"

"If you don't dare, I will reward you!" Concubine Yue smiled lightly at herself in the mirror. How could there be such a coincidence in the world, the emperor herself and concubine Wan appeared in the imperial garden at that time, In fact, I asked Ayun to find out that the emperor would go to the Imperial Garden after the court today, and then sent someone to the Changchun Palace to let him know that he would go to the Imperial Garden alone to relax today.

It can only be said that Wanpin's own jealousy made her fall into her own carefully designed trap!I can't blame myself!
"Do you think I'm too cruel?"

"The slaves dare not!"

"The harem is a place where people cannibalize. If Concubine Wan didn't want to trouble me today, what I created was just an unintentional encounter with the emperor. She lost because of her own jealousy!"

"Slaves understand!"

"Okay, let's go down!"

On the second day, the news that Concubine Wan was grounded was already spreading. At the same time, Concubine Yue received an invitation from Concubine Rong again. The difference was that this time Concubine Rong sent someone to invite Concubine Yue to wait for Concubine Yue to agree. leave.

At that time, Ting Ru was combing Concubine Yue's hair, and Concubine Yue paused when Xiao Lingzi came to inform her, and only responded lightly.

When the people left Ting Ru, he asked cautiously: "I don't know what Concubine Rong's intention is, isn't your empress worried?"

Concubine Yue smiled slightly: "As soon as Concubine Wan's confinement happened, Concubine Rong wanted to see me to see if I could be of use to her, but Zhongcui Palace was her territory after all, no matter what she would not be in Zhongcui Palace. Cui Gong attacked me so as not to offend others, Concubine Rong is a smart person, she knows what to do is better for her!"

"Then what about the empress's choice?" Concubine Yue smiled leisurely at herself in the mirror, without saying a word.

When Concubine Rong arrived at the place where Concubine Rong lived, it was exactly as Concubine Yue had expected.Only myself, Concubine Rong and a few eunuchs accompanying her.

"I heard that my sister had a dispute with Concubine Wan in the Imperial Garden yesterday. In the end, the emperor ordered Concubine Wan to be confined to Changchun Palace for half a month!" Sure enough, after chatting for a long time, Concubine Rong changed the topic to yesterday's matter.

"Report to your empress, there is indeed such a thing!"

Concubine Rong's eyes flashed brightly: "Concubine Wan is narrow-minded, there is no guarantee that she will not take revenge on her sister in the future. My sister is now in favor, but Concubine Wan will eventually be higher than my sister. I don't know if my sister has a countermeasure!"

Concubine Yue didn't open her mouth, Concubine Rong thought her rhetoric had worked, and she smiled: "Now I have a plan, I have been getting along with my sister for the past few days and feel like old friends at first sight, why don't we marry Jinlan, firstly, we can suppress Concubine Wan, and secondly In this harem, each other can take care of each other, what do you think, sister?"

Concubine Yue showed a look of sincerity and fear: "Your Majesty really displeases Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue has a low status and dare not call her a sister!"

Concubine Rong's eyes brightened: "Concubine Yue knows what I'm talking about?"

"Concubine Yue is wrongly loved by her mother, but Concubine Yue is afraid that her fortune will be poor!"

"You..." Concubine Rong's eyes changed, and then she still forbeared: "That's really a pity, but just like Concubine Yue said, be careful of your poor fortune!"

"Thank you Concubine Rong for your reminder, Concubine Yue will keep it in mind! Concubine Yue kneel down!"

The status and power that Concubine Rong can get today may not necessarily be my Niu Yulu.Concubine Yue couldn't get it, and even wanted to get more!Besides, what she did today was just to find someone to help her deal with Wanbi, and if something happened, she could find a scapegoat!
On the way back to the palace, Concubine Yue found that there were lanterns and festoons along the way: "Cai'er, is there any happy event in the palace recently?"

"Reporting to your empress, it will be the queen's birthday in three days!"

Queen's birthday?It seems careful.

On the queen's birthday, the emperor held a grand banquet in the palace and invited all the ministers to participate. The concubines in the harem were also present, not many, just nine, implying a long time.
Concubine Yue and Concubine Rong sit next to the holy driver, one on the left and the other on the right. Concubine Yue is dressed in a flowered jacket sprinkled with peach powder, combing her temples, decorated with four butterflies and silver steps, and five phoenixes hanging on pearl hairpins in the morning sun. The small phoenix tin has butterfly pearl tassels on the head of the flag. Compared with Concubine Rong's red ground color woven turtle back ruyi group flower brocade cloak, red coral cat butterfly head flower, and bird head tassels are a bit less graceful and luxurious. A little more elegant and stunning.

At the beginning of the banquet, various ministers began to send congratulatory gifts, and the various congratulatory gifts dazzled people. One of the congratulatory gifts given by a minister included more than a dozen hairpins of all kinds.

When it was the concubine's turn in the harem, Concubine Rong got up with great poise, stepped forward and bowed slightly: "The concubine congratulates the queen with a song!"

Concubine Yue once heard Ting Ru say that Concubine Rong's singing voice can be described as wonderful. She was once overheard by the emperor in a song in the Royal Garden, and became a concubine in one fell swoop, and then slowly reached her current status.

Sure enough, Concubine Rong's song was tactful and high-spirited, with the crispness of an oriole and the tactfulness of a thrush. It was a festive ditty in the Huainan area, which was quite suitable for the time.

Concubine Rong returned to her seat with a smile on her face, "I wonder what gift Concubine Yue has prepared?"

"My sister's song amazed the audience, compared to Concubine Yue's congratulatory gift, it's too shabby!" Concubine Yue handed over the gift, and the maid stepped forward to take it, handed it over, and then heard the queen's surprised voice: "This is..."

Concubine Yue bowed slightly: "A few days ago, I saw that the Diamond Sutra read by the empress was defaced, and the font was too small to be readable. Concubine Yue specially copied it again, I hope the empress will not abandon it!"

"Okay, okay, I like this gift from Concubine Yue. It is written in small seal script with a cursive style, and the handwriting is delicate and elegant. It really looks like a person. Okay, Concubine Yue, step forward!"

Concubine Yue stepped forward, lowered her head and smiled without saying a word, and saw the queen take a hairpin from her temples: "This phoenix step rock with emerald emeralds and beads was given to me by the Queen Mother, and I will give it to you today!"

Diancui Inlaid Beads The body of the phoenix is ​​decorated with kingfisher feathers, its eyes and mouth are inlaid with red gemstones and snow-white rice beads, and red coral beads are inlaid on both sides.The body of the phoenix is ​​flying sideways, with two strings of small pearls more than ten centimeters long in its small sharp mouth, and the pendant corners are small gourds made of emerald greens.

Concubine Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "Thank you Queen for your kindness!"

The emperor's hearty smile came: "Concubine Yue's gift is elegant and won the queen's heart. It really is Huizhi Lanxin!"

Concubine Yue bowed her body: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Yu Guang noticed that Concubine Rong's complexion had changed, but she was in the public hall, for the concubine's demeanor, she had to keep smiling, but the corners of her mouth were already stiff!

"Concubine Yue pleases the Empress so much today, tell me, how should I reward you?"

As he said that, the emperor took half a glass of thin wine in his hand and handed it to the corner of Concubine Yue's mouth, Concubine Yue's heart fluttered, this is unreasonable!While hesitating, the emperor leaned closer and half-forced himself to drink the half glass of wine.

Concubine Yue was too strong to drink, her face was flushed after only half a cup, the emperor lifted her chin: "Yue'er is so charming like this!"

Concubine Yue's body is soft, how can she push away with a light push? This monarch with both intelligence and martial arts, feels the thorns on his back, and thinks that he is already the target of thousands of people at this moment: "Your Majesty, you are not afraid Are the sisters jealous?"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Yue meaningfully, and finally straightened up, but the hand under the bright yellow sleeves held her tightly.All the princes and concubines stepped forward to toast, Concubine Yue was already weak and weak after only a few drinks, she leaned over and whispered beside the emperor: "Concubine Yue is too strong to drink, go out to get some air!"

The emperor agreed, and someone sent a gorilla felt and feather satin cloak: "It's cool at night, you'd better go and come back soon!"

Concubine Yue went out of the main hall and walked along the corridor to the bridge of the clear water pool. The surface of the pool was sparkling, except for the lively sound from the main hall, the bright red of the lanterns reflected on the water, only the beauty of the moonlight like jade. .

Concubine Yue enjoyed this rare quietness, she patted her own cheek, feeling the drunkenness on her face, and her cheeks began to burn red.

"Cai'er, find a quiet place and let's sit down!"

"Qi Madam, there are stone tables and chairs for rest in the small garden not far away, why don't you go and sit there?"

"it is good!"

Concubine Yue sat down, feeling more and more drunk, she became dizzy, and unconsciously lay down on the stone table and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I didn't feel the coldness of the stone seat, and I was surprised when I woke up and was hugged by someone: "Who dares to be so presumptuous!"

"I didn't know that my concubine Yue could be so enthusiastic!"

It was a familiar voice, Concubine Yue fell silent all of a sudden: "Why did the emperor come out?"

"My concubine Yue has been out for so long, of course I want to come out to take a look, but I didn't expect to see a picture of a begonia sleeping in spring!"

Concubine Yue's heart warmed up, but she couldn't help thinking: "Is it okay for the emperor to come out? Are the ministers and female relatives there?"

The emperor pinched the tip of her nose: "You, don't think so much, with the queen here, what are you afraid of!"

That's right, thinking about this made me feel at ease, leaned my head on him meekly, looked at the moon in the sky, and remembered a poem: "When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky for the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is this eve .I want to ride the wind to go back. I am afraid that Qionglouyuyu, the heights are too cold, dance to find out the shadows, how does it seem to be in the world. Turn to Zhuge, low and beautiful, and sleepless. There should be no hatred, what is the long-term goodbye? Round. People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times. I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles.”

"It's a good sentence, I hope that people will last forever, and enjoy the beautiful beauty together from thousands of miles away. Today, I will enjoy a round of beautiful beauty with Yue'er!"

Concubine Yue's heart warmed up, and she sang the song "Water Tune" in a low voice. I'm afraid I will never forget this scene in my life. He is an emperor who is destined to have three thousand beauties in his harem. There is no guarantee that if he spoils me today, he will spoil me in the future. For others, even if he always dotes on himself, he will still dote on others. However, as an emperor today, he can attend this round of bright moon with him to enjoy the warmth that he rarely enjoys after his mother's death.
