Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

The refreshing lotus fragrance, the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond and the moonlight, coupled with the graceful dance of the beauty and the melodious singing, made everyone immersed in it.

After singing the song, the boat also came to the outside of the pavilion, and the beauty with a gauze face walked into the pavilion and bowed down.

"I send my regards to the Emperor." The voice was clear and gentle like an oriole emerging from the valley.

The emperor's true intentions were not yet exhausted. Hearing that the person in front of him claimed to be his concubine, he became curious. He stood up and walked to the beauty, stretched out his hand and lifted the veil.

Rui Guiren's cool yet gorgeous appearance suddenly appeared, and the emperor's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Oh, it's Rui Gui." Concubine Qi exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's you. I don't know what surprises you have." The emperor helped Rui Guiren up and said softly.

"My concubine showed off her ugliness and made the emperor and all the sisters laugh." Rui Gui said gently.

"As expected of the person trained by the Queen, who is most in line with the Emperor's wishes. The Queen is really virtuous and generous." Nian Shilan looked at the scene in front of him with a sneer and said sarcastically.

"As long as I can relieve the emperor's worries and make the emperor happy, I will be happy." The queen said virtuously.

"Then how do the emperor and the empress look like husband and wife? They should be a monarch and a minister." Nian Shilan continued.

As soon as these words came out, the queen's expression changed, and everyone was shocked.

"No nonsense." The emperor said angrily, but he did not get angry.

Nian Shilan stood up and saluted and said, "I'm tired of my concubine, so I'll go back first."

"Well, go back and rest early. I will see you and Fuhui another day." The emperor said warmly.

Afterwards, the emperor got up and walked to the promenade on the lake, followed closely by Rui Gui. Everyone also got up and followed, admiring the lotus together.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and this night was naturally the Rui Guiren's.

After that, Rui Guiren's favor overshadowed An Lingrong's. In addition, Qi Guiren also lifted his ban, and Yan Guiren's favor lasted for a long time, so An Lingrong's favor faded away.

Xia Dongchun was curious, this Ruigui man had always been talented, beautiful and versatile, how could he always be favored by singing and dancing.

It turned out that Rui Gui was originally a merchant. When his family became prosperous, he gave her a small official position. He followed the path of Uranala and sent her to the palace. The family had just been promoted a few levels.

But when Rui Gui was young, his family members were often called "nouveau riche" and "rich locals." In anger, Rui Gui's father set up a school at home and spent a lot of money to hire several famous teachers. All the children in the family were required to study. , Therefore, the versatile Ruigui people also have a bit of bookishness.

After Zhen Huan left the palace, the emperor felt deeply lonely. There was no one to quote scriptures, recite poems and compose poems with him on weekdays.

The queen, who was good at guessing the Sacred Heart, naturally saw this, so she deliberately found a female concubine and privately taught Ruigui, who was already familiar with poetry.

Rui Guiren made great progress in the department, but it happened that Qi Guiren was useless and An Lingrong was restless, so the queen saw the right opportunity and pushed Rui Guiren out.

Taking this opportunity to gain favor, the emperor happened to discover Rui Gui's talents. The emperor was so surprised that he often summoned Su Peisheng and often wrote excerpts of poems and ordered Su Peisheng to send them to Rui Gui. When a concubine is favored, she will be favored by the sixth house.

These were all information obtained by Ginkgo and Mo Shuang, and Xia Dongchun suddenly realized after hearing this.

In fact, there were many talented concubines in the palace, such as Hui Concubine, but Hui Concubine was not enthusiastic about the emperor and had no intention of competing for his favor. Although An Lingrong did not fall out of favor, she was not as good as before. She also tested the queen about this matter, and the queen only said that she should just keep her peace.

She didn't know that the queen who was quite optimistic about her suddenly changed her attitude, but she was really panicked.

She was not popular in the palace and had no family to rely on. All she could rely on was the support of the queen and the favor of the emperor. But in the current situation, she could only keep to herself and be careful to please the queen.

I have also seen from a distance Concubine Jing and her Sixth Prince, and Concubine Hui and her Princess Jinghe, walking out to spend the summer together at dusk.

Such a joyful scene, Sister Mei's gentleness and happiness from the inside out, the sixth elder brother teasing Princess Jinghe in the cradle with unclear words, Concubine Jing looking at the sixth elder brother with a smile, Fanning.

She was jealous, mad with jealousy.

But she didn't feel that she had gone the wrong way. She only felt that God was unfair and the world was unfair.

She was not very close to anyone, Qi Guiren looked down upon her, Rui Guiren and Rui Guiren had an old grudge, and Yan Guiren even scorned her unabashedly.

Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing were really secretly investigating Chun Gui's miscarriage, but every time they found out about the pastry chef and the little palace maid, nothing happened. The two knew that it would not be easy to find out this fact.

During this period, by chance, Shen Meizhuang found out another thing. Guan Bi's father was sent to prison that day and was infected with the plague in prison. It was An Lingrong who found someone to put those rats in.

Shen Meizhuang knew that An Lingrong was vicious, but he didn't know that she was so vicious.

Now that Huan'er is not in the palace, she doesn't even have anyone to consult with when something happens.

At the end of September, the Holy Emperor returned to Luan, and everyone returned to the Forbidden City.

On this day, Xia Dongchun suddenly received the news that Xia Tengyun, the second son of his elder brother Xia Wei, got seriously injured in an argument during practice on the school field.

Xia Dongchun was extremely anxious, but could not intervene in this matter, so she could only wait for news from Xia Lingyun.

Misfortunes never come singly, and a few days later, it was discovered that Xia Wei, the coat-coated warrior commander, had neglected his duties and drank alcohol while on duty, causing a group of official slaves to flee.

These official slaves were all confiscated slaves from the family of Nian Gengyao, Prince Dun of that day.

When the emperor learned about it, he was furious. Although Xia Wei tracked down the official slave in time, he was found guilty of dereliction of duty and was dismissed from his position. He was idle at home.

Not long after, Xia Dongchun also learned that the people he was arguing with this time were several concubines from the Ulanala family branch. They were all injured to varying degrees, and Xia Tengyun's injuries were particularly serious.

When the imperial doctor invited by Xia Dongchun reported Xia Tengyun's injury, he shook his head and sighed. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. If he cannot recover well this time, he may suffer from problems that will make him unable to perform well.

At this moment, Xia Wei was also unemployed at home due to an illness. Xia Dongchun knew that this incident was not a coincidence, just by looking at the identity of the person who was arguing with Xia Tengyun.

After all, the Ulanala clan came from the mother's family, and was so powerful that her Xia family could not compete with it.

Xia Dongchun was heartbroken and knew that this unreasonable disaster was all caused by her. She originally planned to let her brother Xia Wei fall ill after this year, resign from the official position, and retire bravely, leaving his future to the three young men of the Xia family. , but I didn’t expect that someone would be so impatient.

The case of Xia Wei's escaped slaves had already been handed over to Dali Temple. The situation was serious this time. Although it was not caused by him, in the end Xia Wei neglected his duties and failed to restrain his men. Xia Wei was just dismissed from his post, and the few men on duty were already in prison.
