Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 153 Concubine Yi Charms the Sacred Heart 1
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chunsheng, the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, returned to the palace, met with the emperor to thank the emperor, and promised to "fulfill his duties and repay the holy kindness", and then went to the Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, the Queen in the Yikun Palace, and went to Chengqian Palace, and then Yongning Palace.

Xinyi summoned Chunsheng in the front hall, and shunned everyone.

"Thank you, ma'am, the old slave was able to return to the court!" Chunsheng bowed and saluted.

"The chief executive doesn't need to be too polite, I just tried my best!" Xinyi said, and invited Chunsheng to sit down.

"Your Majesty is so trustworthy, this old slave will definitely abide by the agreement, and I will give you an answer for those things!" Chunsheng said.

"Mr. Chun is so forthright, I am waiting for your news!" Xinyi said with a smile.

"In the future, I will have to trouble the empress, and ask the empress to—" Chunsheng said with a smile, without finishing his sentence.

"Mr. Chun, you don't have to be polite. If I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Xinyi replied, and Chunsheng laughed.

Now, Xinyi spends every day studying in Yongning Palace, or going to Xianfu Palace where Concubine Xian lives, or going to Jingren Palace to see Lin Yuhan, the three of them go back and forth like this.However, Ming Xuanyu still came to Yongning Palace to sleep every night, and did not miss a single night.

In the harem, rumors such as "Concubine Yi charms the Sacred Heart" were circulated like this, and because the Empress Dowager never said anything about Concubine Yi, these rumors just kept spreading, and no one was seen doing anything As for Xinyi, at least not on the surface.

Soon it will be New Year's Eve, and after New Year's Eve is a new year.

There was a peaceful atmosphere in the palace, because the Empress Dowager came back, this year's Spring Festival harem was the busiest since Ming Xuanyu ascended the throne, and the New Year's Eve dinner was also chosen in Qingyuan Hall, northeast of Zichen Hall.

The Qingyuan Hall is closer to the former court, and it is the place where ordinary royal banquets are held.

At the New Year's Eve dinner in the harem, the Empress Dowager said very clearly that she hoped that all the palaces could live in peace, and that the royal family would spread their branches and leaves as soon as possible, adding blessings and so on.After listening to the concubines, although they are taking orders, everyone has different ideas.

At the moment when she got up to accept the order, Xinyi slightly raised her head and glanced at him, but saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were on her body. She hurriedly lowered her head, and when she looked up again, she saw him walking from Zhang De took a glass of wine in his hand and drank it with a smile.

As soon as Haishi arrived, fireworks were set off on the square in front of Qingyuan Hall. The palace people put capes on the masters and walked out of the hall to watch the fireworks.

Ming Xuanyu and the queen helped the empress dowager out from left to right, and stood in front of the white jade railing in front of the hall. The empress dowager pointed to the sky while watching, talking to Ming Xuanyu and the empress from time to time, her face full of tears. full of joy.

Xinyi was dragged out by Zuo Hanqing a long time ago, and the two of them even ran down the steps and stood in the yard watching how the palace people set off fireworks.

"Sister, will you play this?" Zuo Hanqing asked with a smile.

"I used to play it when I was young, let me show you!" Xinyi ran to the side and asked a eunuch in charge for two small fireworks, lit the primer, swished twice, and saw two fireworks when she looked up. Small flowers bloomed in the night sky, dotted in the sea of ​​flowers.

Seeing this, Zuo Hanqing clapped her hands happily and jumped up.

Ever since he walked out of the hall, he had been looking for Xinyi. Xiao Shunzi secretly reported that "Master Yi is in the courtyard below", and only then did he see her back.Seeing her setting off fireworks, he couldn't help but want to try it, so he said to the Empress Dowager, "Grandma, grandson go down for a while, be careful not to catch a cold!"

The Empress Dowager nodded, told him to be careful, and he left.

"Come on, let me set one up for you!" He walked behind Xinyi, and Xiao Shunzi had already brought the fireworks tube over.

Zuo Hanqing stood aside and looked at their harmony and intimacy, and smiled bitterly. Seeing the fireworks rising into the sky and blooming, the trace of unhappiness disappeared.

"Concubine Xian, do you dare?" He asked Zuo Hanqing with a smile.

"Your majesty, my concubine, I'm afraid, I'd better watch it!" She also responded with a smile.

"That's right, normal women don't play such dangerous things, except for a few people!" Ming Xuanyu smiled, and then glanced at Xinyi, seeing her pouting, he habitually walked from behind her He hugged her and kissed her on the side of the cheek.

This is the first time they have shown affection in front of a third person. When he felt that there was nothing wrong with his behavior, she was obviously restrained and uneasy. He pulled his arms around her waist and said softly After saying "not too much", although he was a little displeased, he let go of his hand and said "I love you" in a voice that only she can hear!Her heart is so tense, yet sweet.

Because someone once told her clearly that he would never say those three words in the future, but he still violated his principles and said those three words to her again.

There was silence in her ears, and she couldn't hear the popping sound of the fireworks blooming at all. Turning around, she saw him talking to Zuo Hanqing, Zuo Hanqing saluted, and he walked towards the hall.

Seeing this scene, the ecstatic heart fell to the bottom again, but Zuo Hanqing happily ran to her side and said: "Sister, sister, the emperor praised me for making clay figurines just now, and he said that I should be serious about it some other day." Pinch a few and show him!"

Zuo Hanqing is so excited, but Xinyi's mood is so complicated and unspeakable, she should be happy for her, after all, she has been affirmed by the person she cares about, but my heart——

The position he was in was so difficult.I have already received so much love from him, how can I deprive him of his concern for others?It shouldn't be like this!
Thinking of this, she immediately said to Zuo Hanqing: "Then you show the best work to the emperor! You will definitely surprise the emperor!"

Zuo Hanqing smiled and nodded like a child, and said, "Sister, thank you, you must have told the emperor! Hehe, thank you!"

Xinyi patted Zuo Hanqing on the shoulder and said, "Silly sister, thank you for what!"

It turned out that everyone in the harem wanted to express themselves in front of him!Everyone wants to be loved by him, but why must it be him?
Xinyi felt a little sad, so she left Qingyuan Hall.

When Ming Xuanyu, Xinyi, and Zuo Hanqing set off fireworks together just now, everyone standing by the railing in front of the hall looked at them.

The empress dowager just smiled slightly, but she saw the resentment on the queen's face from the corner of her eye, and said: "The responsibility of the middle palace is to appease the sixth palace and assist the emperor. Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous!"

The emperor hurriedly replied: "Yes, what Lafayette taught me is that Hui Lan has written it down!"

"There is nothing to come out of the harem. As the lord of the six palaces, shouldn't you reflect on yourself, empress?" After the empress dowager said so, she called Hong Shanggong to serve her back to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Ming Xuanyu just rushed over, seeing that grandma was about to leave, she quickly followed her.

Watching the empress dowager leave, the queen's hand tightly squeezed her cuff.

"Sister, did Lafayette tell you about you?" Concubine Shu came over and asked softly.

"Lafayette, she actually sided with that shameless bitch who seduced the emperor!" The queen said in a low voice, her tone was extremely angry.

Concubine Shu took her arm, said in a low voice, "The wall has ears", and then helped the queen to go in the direction of Yikun Palace.

"I see, Lafayette is also anxious because of the issue of heirs. If this continues, something may really happen!" Concubine Shu said.

"Then what can I do?" the queen said, "Listen to Lafayette, there is no heir in the harem, but I, the empress, have no virtue, and I am the one to blame! The emperor only favors Concubine Yi, but Lafayette said nothing. Don't tell me, could it be that Concubine Yi is the one who gave birth to the prince?"

Concubine Shu persuaded: "Sister, don't be so angry. On the day Concubine Yi was canonized, we ignored her so coldly. Although the emperor didn't say anything, I heard that he was very unhappy. Let's forget about the past. You have to plan well."

"How to plan? I really have no idea at all!" the queen sighed.

"Think slowly, there will always be a solution!" Concubine Shu said.

When Xinyi returned to Yongning Palace, she washed up and went to bed directly. I don't know if he will come over.Tonight is New Year's Eve, maybe he won't come!
However, lying on the bed, looking at the flickering candlelight outside the bed curtain, she felt that her heart was also erratic.

Maybe it's because I'm used to his presence, it's really hard to fall asleep without him at night.

And this night, he didn't come over.

Let me explain that Xuan Yu was about to go to Yongning Palace after seeing his grandmother into the sedan chair, but ran into Chen Shanggong from Chengqian Palace.Chen Shanggong reported that Concubine Zhen Gui had been feeling unwell recently. The imperial doctor had seen her, but she couldn't tell why.

"Please go over and take a look, Your Majesty, the empress looks like this—" Chen Shanggong bowed his head and said.

Ming Xuanyu was very strange, why didn't there be anything wrong with Concubine Zhen just now?However, since everything was said, he still went to Chengqian Palace.

This night, he did not go back to accompany the person he loved.

The next day was New Year's Day, and the emperor was going to accept the worship of all the officials in the Huangji Hall. This was the first court meeting since Ming Xuanyu really took power, so it was naturally quite grand.And this was also the first time Chunsheng presided over this solemn event after leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs for ten years.The Ministry of Internal Affairs has made the most adequate preparations, and dare not be negligent.

As soon as Maoshi arrived, Ming Xuanyu was woken up by Xiao Shunzi.

Concubine Zhen also opened her eyes. Seeing him get up, she also sat up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while, it's still so early!"

He also smiled at her, but when she brought her lips to his, he turned his face slightly and kissed her cheek.

Concubine Zhen Gui is also a perceptive person, how could she not understand his meaning?
"From now on, don't lie to me like this!" He said lightly.

Her face was pressed against his back, and she replied in a slightly weeping voice: "The concubine misses the emperor, and her heart is suffocated. Except for the emperor, no one in the world can save the concubine. The concubine knows that the crime of deceiving the emperor is unforgivable. I implore the emperor." Punishment!"

He turned around and supported her arms, and seeing her tearful eyes, he said, "Why would I punish you? It's just that I don't like what you do. If you want me to come, just say so."

"Yes, the concubine made it down." Zhen Guifei smiled coquettishly, as before.

He patted her on the shoulder, got up, dressed and left.

Concubine Zhen always sent him away with a smile on her face, and as soon as he left, Chen Shanggong came to the bedroom.

"Master, is it all right now?" Chen Shanggong asked while helping Concubine Zhen to lie down on the bed.

"It should be! Yesterday was a good day, I don't believe it!" Concubine Zhen lay down.

Chen Shanggong laughed and said: "That's right, master, you have been trying to make up your body these days, maybe you will succeed at once! As long as you give birth to the prince before Concubine Yi, then Concubine Yi will have no place to stand!"

Zhen Guifei caressed her lower abdomen, showing a smug smile.

On this day, a grand court meeting was held in the Huangji Hall, and in the Kunning Palace, the queen accepted the worship of the concubine, princess, and wives.

After the ceremony was over, everyone went back to their places, Xinyi found out that Zhen Guifei smiled at her for some reason, and it seemed to be friendly, she immediately felt something bad.

Then, Lian'er secretly told her that it is said that the emperor went to Chengqian Palace last night.

"Really?" she asked, Lian'er said that it was someone from Chengqian Palace, probably Concubine Zhen deliberately let others know!
"Don't say any more, just listen!" Xinyi instructed, she didn't want others to target herself.

After the banquet was over, Xinyi hurriedly left Kunning Palace on the pretext of feeling unwell. Seeing her leaving early, Concubine Zhen just smiled coldly.

She didn't want to talk to anyone, and hurried all the way back to Yongning Palace, lying on the bed without even taking off her court clothes.She just felt that her heart was congested and her breathing was not so smooth.

I don't know how long it was like this, Lian'er came in.

"Master, this one is for you!" Lian Er hurriedly presented a piece of paper to her respectfully.

She just stretched out her hand to take it, and when she saw the words on the paper, she suddenly sat up, Lian'er couldn't help but smile.

"Pi Caige, I don't see you for a day, it's like March.

He is depressed and not seen for a day, like three autumns.

He picks Aixi, and he doesn't see each other for a day, as if he was three years old. "

His handwriting is neat and elegant, but vigorous and powerful. She has imitated it so many times.

She read these three sentences over and over again, her pink cheeks turned rosy, and her mouth curved accordingly.
