Chapter 161.Jinfeng

"Hey! Yo! Hey-yo-"

The dragon boats broke through the water in unison, and hundreds of people on the boats chanted in unison. The sound was deafening. The lake was filled with heat. The people watching on the shore were also excited and started shouting. For a moment, the sky was boiling. , very lively.

There was no banquet, no singing or dancing in the Kaiyuan Pavilion. Some of the concubines crowded in front of the corridor under the pavilion, and some went up to the second floor to overlook the distance. Their heartbeats were beating again and again with the beating of drums, and they tightened the brocade handkerchiefs in their hands, for fear that they would be held hostage. The team fell behind. Seeing the dragon boat at the front crossing the marked point, some were happy and some were sad.

After the first round, there were only six people left: Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, Concubine Min, Guiren Xin, Guiren Jin, and Sun Yao. Kang Chang was so angry as he watched the team he escorted hurriedly to finish seventh. Eye circles are red.

"I feel nervous when I look at it, and my palms are sweating." An Lingrong took a long breath and opened his palms to show the emperor.

"There has never been such a competition in the palace. It is novel to come here once in a while." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood and raised his hand to ask Su Peisheng to start the second round.

After the intermission, the second round began in full swing.

Just now it was just a small test, this round is the real deal. All six teams worked hard. When the gongs and drums sounded, the dragon boats rushed out like flying arrows. The first one to bear the brunt was the No. [-] boat, which was also the first one. Concubine Qi's boat was far ahead in the first round, and now it was even better. Concubine Qi saw it and her heart was burning.

However, soon, the No. [-] ship was unable to follow up. The speed gradually slowed down, and even the rhythm was messed up. However, it was surpassed by the one next to it within two breaths.

"Hey, this! This..." Concubine Qi's face flushed red, and her excited heart was suddenly poured with cold water. She stopped her mouth embarrassingly as soon as she yelled. mouth corners, returned to his seat to eat tea, still unwilling to do so.

Concubine Jing spoke to Concubine Duan with a smile, and took the time to say a few words to Concubine Qi to prevent her from being too embarrassed.

The sound of the drums became more intensive, and another gong sounded. The guards on the shore watched a dragon boat with golden bells crossing the red line, glanced at the numbers on the boat, and immediately waved the flag and shouted: "It's boat nine," The ninth ship——"

The voice came from far away, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, and finally their eyes fell on Jin Guiren.

Jin Guiren was so excited that tears filled his eyes as he held the brand number.

The queen showed a satisfied smile and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jin has been keeping his peace and thinking about his past. Today, he won the jackpot. Your Majesty cannot break his promise."

"The queen has always been virtuous, and everyone must take good care of her." The emperor glanced at the queen, but saw that she had a perfect smile on her face. His interest was completely lost, and he pursed his lips tightly.

It would be fine if Xin Gui or Sun agreed to be promoted to the first level. It wouldn't hurt in the end. Jin Gui was a member of the Tong family, but the queen was so ignorant of the importance.

But a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with.In the end, the emperor still gave Jin Guiren the position of concubine with a cold face.

An Lingrong couldn't help but feel pity in his heart when he saw Jin Bin surrounded by everyone, almost crying for joy.

Although the concubine was sealed, Jin concubine lost too much in this round.Since the emperor spared Jin concubine's life in the first place, it shows that he still cares for the Tong family. After Jin concubine has endured it for a while, when she gets older, the emperor may one day think of the good things about the Tong family, and she will She would give Jin Concubine a lot of love, but now, she has devoted herself to the queen. The queen almost forced the emperor to make her a concubine. Even if she had a caring heart, it has now been completely exhausted.

From now on, if Jin concubine wants to live a good life in the palace, she can only hug the queen's thigh tightly, unable to resist at all.

An Lingrong thought about it in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that the Yonghe Palace also had to install people.

The summer cicada lies dormant for several years, but its life span is only a few months. Summer passes with the sound of cicadas chirping one after another.

This summer seems to be extraordinarily hot, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to come, but the hotness is still lingering.

An Lingrong became more and more lazy to go out and hid in Weiyang Palace to enjoy the coolness all day long. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs always sent ice over every day.

Pian Ankang couldn't rest, thinking about running out all day long, and went to the Old Summer Palace. When he came back, he couldn't hold back his temper. In addition, he had just celebrated his birthday, and all he could think about in the past two days was playing. Aunt Qin taught me It must be physically and mentally exhausted.

But the emperor pampered her very much and always said: "It's rare to have such a lively princess in the palace, so don't restrain her all the time and play as much as you like. Can't I afford to raise a princess?"

An Lingrong tried to persuade her several times, but neither father nor daughter listened, so they had no choice but to let her go.

"Honghao, we're here for dinner." An Lingrong walked to the couch with a bowl of rice cereal. He looked at the seventh elder brother sitting there upright and staring at the sky in a daze. He felt a little funny and stretched out his arms to hug him, " You and your sister have really reversed personalities. You are so quiet and your sister is so active. How come there are no similarities at all?"

"Your Majesty, the facial features of the seventh prince and the princess are very similar. It's just that the princess always smiles and is more lively and lively like the empress. On the contrary, the seventh prince, who is calm and dignified at a young age, is calm and dignified and is more like the emperor." Dill said with a smile.

"Hot." The seventh elder brother pursed his lips and spat out the word like gold.

An Lingrong blew it quickly, looked at the seventh elder brother helplessly, raised his head and yelled at Dill: "He has just turned one year old, he is not angry and self-proclaimed, it is all nonsense."

Dill pursed her lips and snickered, but did not answer.

Daukou walked in hurriedly and stood in front of An Lingrong: "Your Majesty, Miss Ye, who was granted the title of Baijunyuan by the Emperor, has entered the palace now."

An Lingrong paused for a moment, then nodded calmly: "I know." After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong again, "Has there been any movement over Jin Bin in the past few days?"

"Not at all." Cardamom shook her head, "Although she is a concubine, the rate of application is still the same as before. It is a noble person's duty, and the emperor has never summoned her. She is anxious and goes there three times a day. Jingren Palace ran away, wishing to live in the Queen's Palace." An Lingrong rolled his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

The emperor is slapping the queen in the face.

At that time, the Queen and Concubine Qi were enjoying fish in the Queen Mother's Palace. She had no idea about this. When the Queen Mother asked if the newcomers had entered the palace, she still looked confused: "What newcomer? Why don't I know about it?"

"The emperor thinks that you are virtuous and good-natured. There is only approval and no objection, so anyone dares to pull into the palace." The queen mother looked back at the queen, scolding her, the queen, for negligence.

The queen lowered her face in embarrassment, and realized belatedly that this was the emperor expressing her dissatisfaction in fighting for the concubine position for Jin Concubine. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.The emperor had never been like this before, so why was he no longer tolerant of her now?

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother, it's just that your status is low." Concubine Qi smiled at the side to smooth things over, "Just like the servants like Mrs. Miaoyin in the past, that's all. He's just a lowly slave."

The Queen Mother was even more angry when she heard this: "Xin Zheku's slave is also a descendant of an official slave. The emperor has chosen a versatile girl this time, a horse-training girl from Baijun Garden in Old Summer Palace."

Concubine Qi hurriedly stopped laughing and showed a surprised expression along with the queen.

"People have already entered the palace at this moment." Su Peisheng said cautiously, "Because he is still in Old Summer Palace and cannot enter the palace, the emperor has been thinking about it day and night since returning from Old Summer Palace. He can't help but worry about it. This morning he issued a decree to seal the palace If you agree, you will be asked to stay in the palace."

The palace maids are slaves, while the horse trainers are inferior to the palace maids, and are inferior people who work with animals. Such a person unexpectedly entered the palace and became a concubine, and even became a promise in one fell swoop.

The queen only felt that the emperor's slap was really loud.

"Have you decided where to stay?" the Queen Mother asked, suppressing her anger.

"Not yet, but Ye promised himself that he likes to live in a quiet place with few people." Su Peisheng replied with his head lowered.

The Queen Mother sneered: "Listen, as soon as I entered the palace, I already knew that I wanted this and that." Fu asked again, "Did the Emperor tell her where to give it?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs will have to wait for two days before the palace can be cleaned out. The emperor said that we should first call the side hall who lives in the Yangxin Hall." Su Peisheng said bravely.

As soon as these words came out, the queen's expression immediately changed.

The Queen Mother even darkened her face: "How can that happen?" She breathed a sigh of relief, "Go and tell the Emperor that behind the Shoukang Palace, the Chunxi Palace where the imperial concubine once lived is still empty, so immediately ask someone to clean it out for her to live in. She wants to be quiet, and the Ai family palace is the quietest, so let her live under the Ai family's nose, and we are not afraid of what tricks she will pull out."

"It wouldn't be too flattering for her to live in Chunxi Palace." Concubine Qi muttered in a low voice.

The queen had a cold face and gritted her teeth: "Of course not. With the current situation, I'm afraid there will still be promotions."

When autumn comes and all the flowers are gone, Ye Lanyi stands out.

"The day before yesterday, Jin Feng was invited to serve the banquet at noon. In the evening, he was sent to the Yangxin Hall to serve as his bedmate. In the past few days, the emperor only asked Ye to stay with him." Concubine Min came to An Ling with an overturned jar of vinegar. Rong said, "I have never seen the emperor like this before. Even when Mr. Wan Gui was still here, the emperor never looked like this."

"The concubine took a long look yesterday and saw that Ye Xu's birth was not beautiful. On the way, I ran into Concubine Jing, and she did not behave properly. Thanks to Concubine Jing, she has a good temper and does not blame her." Said from the side.

Ye Lanyi is not a beauty in the traditional sense, she is from a foreign country, her skin is sun-tanned, her facial features are deep and three-dimensional, full of strong aggressiveness, she is strong and powerful, completely different from the concubines in the palace who pursue the beauty of weak willows and Fufeng different.

In An Lingrong's view, Ye Lanyi was very beautiful, so beautiful that she was so beautiful that the emperor fell in love with her. Even though he wanted to annoy the queen, more importantly, he was really interested in her - to conquer a woman, It's much more interesting than capturing a woman.

"The favor in the palace has always been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Yesterday it was you and today it is her. It's just ordinary. You don't have to worry about it. Just do your duty." An Lingrong He comforted Min Bin and Yu Guiren, changed the subject and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many things going on in the previous dynasty. Your Majesty is just having a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. I am planning to make some mooncakes. Since you are here, why don't you stay and help?"

Min Bin and Yu Guiren looked at each other with some regret: "Yes."

Time flies.

Ye Lanyi knew that many people in the palace disliked her for her sudden promotion to the palace and the unique favor she received. But she didn't care. The only thing she cared about was that the slim chance that she had had was now gone. .

It was the Double Ninth Festival, and Ye Lanyi climbed up and looked around. Apart from the red wall, everything he could see was still a red wall.

"Ye agrees."

A familiar voice came from behind, Ye Lanyi trembled slightly, turned around, looked at the Guojun King whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her heart was filled with soreness, she bowed down to salute according to the etiquette: "Master Seventeen, you are here."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have already agreed." Prince Guo slowly stepped forward and sighed.

Ye Lanyi saw that he was polite and distant, not as close as before, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "No one asked me if I was willing, so I entered the palace, and it became a promise again." Just two months ago, she When he met Prince Guo by chance in the palace, he would still laugh and joke with her, compliment her on her beautiful green dress, and even promised to go to the Old Summer Palace to watch her train horses, but in the blink of an eye, everything was gone.

 Let me give you a preview first, Rong'er will enter a low period starting tomorrow (already prepared to be scolded.jpg)
