Concubine, she rises step by step

Three days later, Xiao Songxi took Nalan back to Beiling.

Due to the need to be concealed in the early stage and taking action only after everything was arranged, not many people knew about Nalan's trip to Beiling.

Huo Jiheng believed that the plan proposed by Xiao Songxi was perfect. If nothing unexpected happened, the results would be achieved within a month.

Shengyi seemed to sense Nalan's thoughts from Nalan's burning gaze that day, but she understood that it was absolutely impossible between them.I can only pray in my heart for Nalan to return safely.

Some people have the world in mind, while others are stuck in love.

After Xiao Songxi left, Quan Zhiyan left Huan'er alone, fawning over the queen, and wooing Concubine De.

Sheng Yi listened for a few words, but didn't take it to heart. She was just a little girl. She could jump anywhere. Besides, didn't King Juli say he was leaving soon?
"It is precisely because King Juli said that he would leave the day after tomorrow. In order to thank all the empresses for taking care of her during this period, Quan Zhiyan specially invited a theater troupe at Changyin Pavilion to invite all the empresses to listen to the opera in the evening. Can you go?" Zhixia Report.

Shengyi waved his hand, "It's boring. I might as well raise the fetus in the palace."

Zhixia also knew that his master was tired during this period, so he said, "I won't go if I don't go. I'm not a big shot. I'll just be tired!"

Sheng Yi nodded, feeling sleepy.

At the door, Xiao Anzi lowered his voice and asked, "Is the master asleep?"

Zhixia gently put a thin blanket on Sheng Yi, tiptoed out, and whispered: "I just fell asleep, what happened?"

Xiao Anzi dragged Zhixia to the door and then said: "General Manager Li asked Concubine Sheng if she would like to go to Changyin Pavilion. King Juli arranged a traditional Juli show after the opera. The emperor wanted to go because of his face. .”

Zhixia looked at the slightly haggard master and said distressedly: "Don't let the master go. You see how tired the master is during this period. The emperor did not ask you to do this, so we won't join in the fun."

Xiao Anzi nodded in agreement, "Who says it's not the case? The master is busy running around happily, and his body is getting bigger and bigger, so we can't be careless. Then I will go back to Manager Li and say that the queen is not going. ”

Zhixia nodded and closed the door gently.

Changyin Pavilion.

Knowing that the emperor was going, Concubine De Gui, who had already walked halfway, probably ran back and changed into a set of beautiful clothes.

The queen was sitting on her seat, listening to Ai Xiang's report to Concubine De, and said in a cold voice: "The same goes for Chang Lan, no matter how old she is, she still insists on competing with others for beauty. We are the only concubines here. , who can be more beautiful than her?"

Ai Xiang nodded, "Yes, but Concubine De Gui has always been like this. Even the emperor didn't say anything, so don't be angry."

The queen snorted coldly, "I'm not angry, I just can't understand this person."

In fact, the queen understands better than anyone else that she even envies Chang Lan. Chang Lan's love and hatred are all about her face. She is willing to go back and dress up for you, and she can also call herself Baohua Palace because of your affection.These are things that the Queen longs for but dare not do. She knows in her heart that the Emperor will never sing in harmony with her again, and all that awaits her is loneliness and desolation.

Ning Bin went to Zhaoyang Palace first. When she learned that her sister was asleep and would not come to Changyin Pavilion, she was not very interested anymore and found a corner to sit down early.

Shugui showed up for the first time since the last incident. She didn't want to come at first, but the queen said that if she didn't come forward, the rumors in the palace would get worse. By then, the emperor would no longer be able to save his face, so she and Ning Bin were left alone. A corner.

Just after the queen finished complaining, Concubine Chang Lan walked in swaggeringly.Not to mention, Chang Lan looks even more charming after dressing up.

"Queen, my sister is late."

Seeing Chang Lan smiling like a bright spring breeze, the queen didn't want to spoil anyone's happiness, so she just said lightly: "Hurry and take a seat, the emperor will be here soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the door: "The Emperor is here!"

Everyone stood up and said, "See the emperor!" Also coming in with the queen were King Gouli and Quan Zhiyan.

I saw that Kwon Ji-yeon was dressed particularly exquisitely today.

In view of Quan Jiyan's fawning over the queen and the concubine De Gui in the past few days, the two great gods quite like this little white flower. After all, beauties like them, especially beauties who don't compete with them. They like them more. .

"Zhiyan, please see the queen, please see the noble concubine!" Quan Zhiyan bowed obediently.

The queen smiled and replied: "Sit down, it's thanks to you that I came to listen to the music this time."

Quan Zhiyan smiled shyly, "The queen is joking. It's because you pity Zhiyan that you give me the favor."

Concubine De Gui has always been a lively person, and Quan Zhiyan really respects her, so she echoed: "The Queen is right, we haven't listened to music for a long time. Today, it's a good time to take advantage of it." Your light.”

Quan Zhiyan immediately nodded, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine De, for the compliment!"

Huo Jiheng didn't like listening to music at first. It would be better to let him read two more books in the study, or go to Zhaoyang Palace to see Concubine Sheng. He couldn't resist King Juli's kind invitation. Besides, King Juli came this time. He really didn't make any extraordinary request, and he was about to leave, and it was hard to refute his face, so he agreed to come over.

Ever since I started doing this, my head has been dozing off.

However, for other concubines, this is one of the few joys in the boring harem life, and it is naturally spiritual.

When the song ended, everyone clapped, including Huo Jiheng.

Everyone laughed, but Huo Jiheng looked indifferent.

It wasn't until the last program came that Huo Jiheng let out a long sigh of relief, finally reaching the end.

I saw that the finale show at this time was actually Kwon Ji-yeon.

At this time, Kwon Ji-yeon was wearing national costumes, showing off the national dance confidently and gracefully, and her every move and smile looked much more agile.

Huo Jiheng, who was about to doze off, finally regained his energy.

Not to mention, Kwon Ji-yeon is really beautiful and delicate on stage.

On the stage, Quan Zhiyan's eyes kept wandering around Huo Jiheng, sometimes pure, sometimes charming, sometimes hot, sometimes scorching. Even Huo Jiheng, who has seen countless women, was attracted by Quan Zhiyan's dance at this time.

As the drum beats get slower and slower, the dance comes to an end.

After Kwon Ji-yeon's graceful and shy curtain call, she quietly left the show.

Huo Jiheng recalled the dance just now and said to King Juli next to him: "This Quan Zhiyan dances very much like Zhenbi..."

When King Gouli saw Huo Jiheng mentioning the concubine, he looked regretful and said, "It's a pity that the concubine is not blessed enough to serve the emperor all the time."

Huo Jiheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, no more! I'm here to wish you a safe journey back!"

King Juli replied extremely humbly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Behind the scenes, Kwon Ji-yeon flicked her nails and stroked her hair, with a calmness in her eyes that she had never shown before...
