Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 171 Acting

The Fengyi Palace was lit up all night, and Mrs. Zhen was leaning wearily on the soft pillow, but her eyes were still sharp. She glanced at Jing Chan in front of the soft couch, and said: "It will be dawn soon, and I must announce her imperial edict to enter the palace." It has already been drawn up, is it really necessary for them to meet in the palace?"

Jing Chan also frowned, as if she was in deep thought, and said after a while: "From the perspective of slaves, although the Crown Princess is beautiful, she is not the same as the former Concubine Hui..."

"Shut up!" Zhen's face showed anger, and she seemed to deliberately lower her voice. She gritted her teeth and said, "I said before, you are not allowed to mention the name of that temptress in my place!"

Jing Chan hurriedly took a step back to salute, and said in fear: "I know I was wrong, I will never dare again!"

Mrs. Zhen snorted coldly, and then said: "Even though the current Crown Princess has no similarities with that temptress, we still have to guard against it!"

After all, Mrs. Zhen sighed secretly, and even her voice became mournful, "I have had enough of these years. Although that temptress has never stayed in this palace for a day, as far as I am concerned, she It's like a nightmare, a spell that keeps me from being reborn forever!"

Jing Chan whispered: "Your Majesty, please be at ease, don't hurt yourself because of this."

"Reassuring?" Mrs. Zhen laughed strangely, "Since I became the empress of the Yutian Dynasty, the fate between me and the emperor has come to an end. So, do you think I can still feel relieved?"

Jing Chan glanced at the quiet and empty palace, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, this slave is dull, there is a way, but I don't know if it can relieve your worries."

"You said."

Jingchan got permission, took out a pill, and said: "This is what I got from the imperial hospital a few days ago. It is said that this pill can cure people who suffer from wind and cold. It's stomach discomfort, causing people to vomit and diarrhea. Since the empress does not want the princess to enter the palace to meet the emperor, why not put this pill into your majesty's breakfast, so..."

Zhen Shi stared at Jing Chan, her eyes were creepy, for a long time, Zhen Shi said: "Jing Chan, do you know that these few words of yours are enough to make you die without a place to bury you?"

Hearing this, Jing Chan knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this servant is just..."

"Haha..." Mrs. Zhen stood up, helped Jingchan up, and said, "Of course I know that you are loyal, but your method will not only not help me, but will trap me in an eternal disaster." Land. Jingchan, you have been with me for so long, do you still not understand the way of life in this deep palace?"

Jing Chan said nonchalantly: "Jing Chan is stupid, please give advice from the Empress."

Zhen's eyes flashed, and said: "The emperor is my husband, I will definitely not use his body as a bargaining chip, since the woman will inevitably enter the palace sooner or later, I will not stop her, let's wait and see It changes for the better.”

Zhen looked at the white belly that was gradually rising from the sky, and there was an unfathomable smile on her face!Maybe only she knows what kind of scheming she needs to use for her only husband.Of course she wasn't worried about his body, what she was worried about was always only her status, and now she has only this status!

In the Prince's Mansion in the early morning, the red silk lanterns left over from yesterday's celebration were still there, but the hustle and bustle was missing, and it returned to the usual quietness of the Prince's Mansion.

Dongfang Shangyu stood in the middle of the bedroom with a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Yu Li who was dressing in front of the bronze mirror.

I only heard Hongxiu said: "Miss is going to enter the palace today to face the saint, so I must wear the double-plate hairpin bestowed by the emperor."

Yu Li's eyes sank, and he said: "If it wasn't for little Zengzi who went to the mansion to announce the decree, I didn't know that the bride would go to the palace the next day to face the saint."

Dongfang Shangyu who was behind heard the words, smiled lightly and said: "I was negligent, I should have told you earlier, so that you can prepare a bit. Li'er, look at this auspicious costume, the color is too bright, you must be I don't like it. If I don't like it, we will replace it with..."

Yu Li turned around, glanced at the robe painted with gold and embroidered on her body, and said helplessly: "It's an auspicious robe, wouldn't it be bad to change it? Besides, what I'm going to see today is your father, the queen, how dare I be presumptuous."

Dongfang Shangyu laughed and stepped forward, hugging Yu Li's shoulders, jokingly said: "If Li'er wants to be presumptuous, I will take care of her, what are you afraid of?"

Yu Li looked up at him and said, "Why don't you even have a proper shape now? It's getting late, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Yu Li walked out of the room with her arm on her red sleeve.

Dongfang Shangyu watched her back for a long time, and quickly followed her.

The carriage drove through the most prosperous street in the imperial capital, and then entered the imperial palace through the Guang'an Gate on the east.The floors in the palace are all made of high-quality granite. The palace, which was thought to be bustling and extraordinary, is only solemn, spacious, and luxurious...

Around the square and on both sides of the road, large expanses of golden emperor orchids are in full bloom, and the golden flowers reflect the dazzling sunlight, making this cold palace even more prosperous.

Along the way, there was a young eunuch leading the way. When they reached the jade steps of the middle palace, Dongfang Shangyu and Yu Li got off the carriage, Hong Xiu and Duan Cunfeng were arranged to wait here, while Dongfang Shangyu and Yu Li stepped up the jade steps. With a long shout—His Royal Highness Xuan and the Crown Princess have an audience—and entered the Hall of Qinzheng.

Today is the Bride's face-sacrifice, so everyone in the Palace of Qinzheng retreated, only Dongfang Jing and Mrs. Zhen, and the rest were just a few personal court ladies and eunuchs.

It was Yu Li's first time entering the palace, but with Dongfang Shangyu's comfort and guidance all the way, she didn't feel nervous at all.

"The sons and daughters-in-law see the father, the queen and the queen!" Dongfang Shangyu and Yu Li knelt down and bowed their heads, but before they knelt down, Yu Li still saw a trace of panic in Zhen's eyes.

What is the connection between this woman and him? Why did she look so abnormal after just two meetings?

Yu Li thought secretly.

"Pingshen—" Dongfang Jing raised his hand and said.

He looked at the couple in front of him, saw the rare smile on Dongfang Shangyu's face, and saw the quiet woman beside him with her head bowed. He laughed and said, "Yu'er has finally grown up, and now I see that you have After leaving the family, the emperor's heart is at ease..."

At this moment, Yu Li slowly raised her head, her eyes were casual, as if she was looking at Jin Dilan outside the window, or at the scroll carvings on the wall...

The sun shone faintly on her side face, like an elf in a dream, so beautiful and moving, yet so fleeting.

Soon, she lowered her head again.

However, such a glimpse is enough to make Dongfang Jing and Zhen Shi turn pale with shock. They both have the same past, so facing such eyes and such side faces, they also think of the same person .

"You...raise your head!" Dongfang Jing's voice seemed to be trembling, was it her?Is it his concubine Hui?He was puzzled, she hated him so much, she shouldn't appear here.However, that glance just now was clearly her again.

After all, the Zhen family is the Zhen family. She smiled lightly, and said respectfully to Dongfang: "What's wrong with the emperor? Today, Yu'er brought the new crowned concubine into the palace. Don't scare her."

"Raise your head!" Dongfang Jing almost stood up, almost rushed down the hall, his voice was extremely firm.

Dongfang Shangyu looked at his father and queen in puzzlement, why did the atmosphere here suddenly become weird in just a split second?

He knelt down and said: "Father, Li'er entered the palace for the first time today, and I don't know many etiquettes, please don't blame the father..."

Yu Li was neither humble nor overbearing, she knew she had done nothing wrong, and she didn't have to be submissive, she raised her head and looked at Dongfang Jing.

"Ah!" Dongfang Jing let out a long breath as if someone had poured cold water on it.It really wasn't her, even though she was equally astonishingly beautiful, she wasn't her.

Yu Li made a salute and said: "My daughter-in-law sees the father, and wishes the father good health."

The clear voice is like water drops under the eaves after the rain, dripping on the jade plate, so pure and soothing.

Such a voice made Dongfang Jing startled again.

However, his reason still told him that she was not her.

At this time, Dongfang Shangyu was still kneeling on the ground. Although his face looked calm and calm, there was a hint of indignation and strong hostility in those deep eyes.

Why did his father look at his concubine like this?

After a long time, Dongfang Jing said leisurely: "Everyone, get up. Come—give me a seat—"

Only then did Zhen Shi at the side breathe a sigh of relief, she did not make a mistake in this move, Dongfang Jing would not have any doubts about Yu Li, let alone have any associations with this woman.

She looked at Dongfang Jing's disappointed face, and suddenly felt joy in her heart.Dongfang Jing, you will never see her again in your life!Don't think about it!

That day in the palace, Mrs. Zhen personally arranged a grand banquet, and then led Yu Li to stroll around the imperial garden for a long time, laughing and talking, but both of them knew it well, such a smile, such a superficial To them, playing peacefully is just a play, but they are in it, and this kind of play may have to continue in the future.
