"Niang Niang?" Seeing Jun Yihuang still in a daze, Su Lingyu called Jun Yihuang several times before waking up like a dream.

"Have you thought of any happy event, Ma'am?"

"No." Jun Yihuang smiled, and said with a straight face: "I will return to Longxing Palace with His Majesty tomorrow, you don't have to come here for a few days."

"Yes."

"Also, Concubine Jing is happy. Your Majesty finally got the good news again. He attaches great importance to it. Please remember to avoid it."

"Concubine Jing is happy? When did it happen?" Su Lingyu was quite surprised when she heard the words. She didn't hear such a big event mentioned by the concubines she came and went with.

"It's only been diagnosed, but it's not more than a month old. The empress means that the fetus is stable at the end of three months, and then I will send good news."

Su Lingyu is naturally clear about the method of fighting for favor in the palace. Hearing Jun Yihuang's words, she responded in a low voice, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Concubine Jinggui is already very much loved by His Majesty, if another prince is born..."

"That's for the future, you're thinking too far. I'm tired, you go back first."

"Yes, Lingyu is leaving."

The days that followed were very boring.

The East Nuan Pavilion of Qingtao Courtyard was still greeted and sent off, and Su Lingyu's face was stiff with laughter. Whenever the night was quiet, the more I missed the free time with that taciturn and indifferent concubine Shu.

His Majesty left the palace, the women in the palace had no expectations, and the days were hard, so they tried to find ways to pass the time.In spring, the sun is getting warmer day by day, and a hundred flowers are blooming in the imperial garden. In the end, the concubine Xin came up on the spur of the moment and sent posts all over the place, inviting concubines from all palaces and courts to enjoy the flowers and drink wine in the imperial garden. It is called Wangchun Banquet .

Although Concubine Xin Gui was not as favored by His Majesty as Concubine Jing Gui, she had a daughter with a sweet personality and the only good child in the palace at this time, she was very much loved by Emperor Nanzhao.Therefore, concubine Xingui's invitations are everywhere, and everyone agrees.On the day of the banquet, Tiangong was even more beautiful. In the early morning, a big red ball jumped out, and it was very gratifying to watch when it was glowing red.

Chattering in the imperial garden, all the concubines arrived at the appointment, and the garden was full of singing.This kind of banquet is a banquet on the surface, but secretly it is for comparison. The concubines and concubines of the palace are all dressed up in fancy dresses.

Su Lingyu also arrived early in the morning, she didn't want to show off and attract attention, so she picked up elegant colors and wore only two gold silk flowers on her hair, and inserted the agarwood walking stick.Standing in the scenery full of flowers, it does not have a beautiful taste.

When all the people arrived, Concubine Xin summoned them to sit down in front of the table that had already been placed.The table is filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries and seasonal fresh fruits cooked by the imperial dining room, and the gaps are decorated with flowers, exhausting a lot of thought.

"In winter, the sisters are afraid of the cold and don't want to move. Except for the New Year's Eve, they don't get together like this. A few days ago, I saw the flowers in the Imperial Garden just about to bloom. I wondered if it was the beauty of the flowers in spring. We sisters are still more delicate than flowers. Today we sisters take advantage of the pretext of competing with the flowers, get together, have a good time, and drive away the cold accumulated in winter."

"Thank you Concubine Xin, Concubine Xin is well! Concubine Jing is well!"

Concubine Xin Gui had always been articulate, but as soon as she spoke with puns and jokes at the beginning, the somewhat formal atmosphere at the banquet dissipated quite a bit.The many concubines sitting in the lower seat thanked and asked in unison, all with smiles on their faces.

"The empress's phoenix body is against the harmony. I have the first glass of wine at the banquet today, and I wish the empress to recover as before, Changle and Yongkang!"

"Gong wishes the Empress to recover as before, Changle and Yongkang!"

Su Lingyu held up the jade bottle together with the others, and said yes, but she glanced at Concubine Jing, feeling very strange in her heart.

Since Concubine Jinggui is pregnant, she should stay in bed and recuperate, but Su Lingyu did not expect that she would be invited to participate in the Spring Festival Banquet.But after thinking about it again, the fact that Concubine Jinggui is pregnant with a dragon species has not been announced to the palace. Although Concubine Xingui is at the same level as her, her status is invisible because of having a princess. If Concubine Jinggui refuses to go to the banquet , It's unavoidable to brush the face of Concubine Xin Gui, and it's just giving people something to talk about.

It's just that, this cup of opening banquet wine was clearly meant to wish Empress Qi's health, but Concubine Jinggui didn't drink it, and it wouldn't matter if she didn't drink it.

As for Concubine Jing, Su Lingyu mostly heard gossip in the palace and Fu Liuying's occasional mentions.Concubine Jing is said to have a delicate and graceful temperament, unlike Concubine Shu, she is on good terms with everyone in the palace.The appearance and appearance are also the same as the temperament, like a weak willow supporting the wind, delicate flowers shining in the water, charming and charming, and it is easy to look at it to attract people's pity.In addition, she was born in a noble family, so she has been in the palace for more than three years, and the emperor's favor has not diminished. She was promoted from a lady of the seventh rank to a concubine of the third rank, which can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors.

Su Lingyu didn't believe the so-called tenderness and gracefulness at all.The harem is 3000 meters away, and it will not be a simple woman who can catch the mind of Emperor Nanzhao.What's more, being favored and favored will inevitably lead to jealousy. Without a strong financial background, people with less wit and ingenuity can't survive at all, let alone fly straight to the branches.This is also the main reason why Su Lingyu is unwilling to pay her respects.

Now that Su Lingyu was spying on Concubine Jing secretly, she also wanted to see how she would solve the current situation.

But I didn't expect Concubine Jing, like other concubines, after raising her glass to say her congratulatory speech, she raised her head to cover her face with her slender hands and drank the wine in the jade bottle in one gulp.

Su Lingyu showed surprise, and hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves and pretended to drink, but she felt unreasonably afraid of this noble concubine in her heart.

She paid attention to Concubine Jinggui, and naturally knew that the glass of wine was genuine.She also believed what Concubine Shu said that Concubine Jing was pregnant.But in order not to reveal the good news and keep her mouth shut, Concubine Jinggui did not care about her flesh and blood at all, but she never expected that.

With such ruthless determination, it's no wonder that he can be a master.

After drinking several glasses of wine in a row, the feeling of alcohol welled up slightly, and the scene became more and more lively.Zhen Wanyi and Liu Shilan saw the high interest of the crowd, she also smiled and narrowed her eyes, got up and said: "Sisters and sisters, just drink like this, or you will get drunk after a few drinks, let alone let down the flowers in the garden, there is no one Meaning. If we come to play some games, and those who lose will be fined to drink, what do you think, sisters?"

"This girl loves to play and make trouble the most." Concubine Xin Gui pursed her lips and said with a smile to Concubine Jing, "Every time a banquet starts, she will come up with some strange ideas, and there are no rules at all."

"Zhen Wanyi is innocent and cute, she is young, and it is human nature to love to be lively." Concubine Xia Ruoqing softly replied: "It is rare for everyone to be so happy today, so it doesn't hurt to listen to her ideas."

"Tell me, what do you want to make trouble this time?"

"Concubine Xin Xin, I'm thinking, we just sit in the corner of such a large garden, how can we get a lot of it? Why don't we arrange for the palace people to take some hydrangeas and hide them in various places in the garden, and the sisters take turns Look for it, beat the drum as an order, and burn a stick of incense within a limited time, if you can’t find it, you can only be fined to drink.”

"This sounds new. Then, according to what you said, it's just that if there are few people, it's hard to find. If there are too many people, it's hard to find the hydrangea in one go. It's really boring. Why don't you draw lots first and decide the people together? to find."

"Concubine Xingui thinks much more thoughtfully than my concubine!"

Zhen Wanyi smiled brightly, and quickly ordered the palace staff to prepare sticks to hide the hydrangea.The other concubines had never played this kind of game before, and they whispered to each other, feeling inexplicably excited.

After a while, the palace people came to report that the hydrangea had been hidden, and they held a tube of bamboo sticks for the concubines to draw.Su Lingyu took one casually, unfolded it, and saw that it was a little yellow inside, and it turned out to be the winning lottery.

At this time, the rest of the people also opened their lotteries one after another, and Concubine Xin smiled and said: "The first round of lottery is Concubine Jing, Mo Jieyu, Fu Guiren, Su Guiren and Xiao Meiren. There are ten hydrangea balls hidden in the garden. One stick of incense, if the time is up, if there is one hydrangea missing, you will be fined a glass of wine, if you are three or five short, you will only be fined three or five glasses."

Su Lingyu also thought it was quite amusing, so she stood up with a smile on her face, and said to the other four people who had won the lottery: "Concubine Jing, Mo Jieyu, ladies, the garden is so big, why don't we search it separately? "

"Alright." The noble concubine Xia Ruoqing nodded and smiled.Fu Liuying looked at Su Lingyu, nodded lightly, but said nothing.

Su Lingyu could only pretend not to notice Fu Liuying's indifference, and each discussed their own direction, and when the drums beat together, she led Qingxiao to search for it.

The direction Su Lingyu is looking for is the north, which is also called Lengxiang Garden, and the flowers planted are mainly plum blossoms.In spring, the plum blossoms are all withered, but the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed. It is clear at a glance, and the objects hidden in it are very eye-catching.Not long after, Su Lingyu and Qingxiao had circled the Lengxiang Garden and found the two hydrangeas hidden inside.

The two hydrangeas are both hung on the branches, with a section of green silk tied at the top, but they are the size of a fist and very delicate.Qingxiao held her hands in her heart and couldn't put it down, she smiled at Su Lingyu and said: "Your Excellency, these hydrangeas prepared by Zhen Wanyi are really cute, and they still have a scent. I'm afraid that Precious Concubine has prepared several times for today's spring feast." day."

Qingxiao's speaker had no intention, but Su Lingyu's listener did.The words caught my ears, the smile on my face suddenly paused, and I said: "What did you just say?"

"The servant girl said that my precious concubine had been preparing for today's Spring Festival Banquet for several days. What's wrong, nobleman?"

Su Lingyu remained silent, took the hydrangea tied with silk and satin to the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, a faint fragrance rushed into her nose, it was very comfortable, but it was a smell she had never smelled before.

"Your Majesty?"

"It's okay." Su Lingyu shook her head, the smell was not pungent, it shouldn't be musk, presumably she was thinking too much and thought of going elsewhere.

"My lord, we're done searching for this area. Shall we go to the West Garden to help search for it? It's full of vines over there, and it's much harder to find than Lengxiang Garden."

"Alright, I don't want to drink four or five glasses of wine in a row. I will lose my manners when I get drunk." Su Lingyu responded with a smile, and turned to go to the West Garden.

Xia Ruoqing, the noble concubine of Jing, went to look for the west garden. The vines and flowers were tall and dense. Along the way, Su Lingyu leaned her neck to look carefully, and found a hydrangea ball until her eyes were blurred.She rubbed her eyes, and said to Qingxiao: "Let's find a place to rest first, my eyes are dazzled by flowers."

Qingxiao found a place for Su Lingyu to rest, sat him down, and was about to speak, but at the same time, a soft voice came from the side: "Mother! Why are you doing this!"

"Don't talk too much, just bring the water." The voice was soft and moving, but with a hint of tiredness, it was the noble concubine Xia Ruoqing.

Su Lingyu and Qingxiao looked at each other, they didn't know what Concubine Jinggui meant by what she said, and after a while, there was another low sound of vomiting from the side.The vine they were leaning against grew very well, and the long flowers swayed to the ground, like a natural curtain.Su Lingyu couldn't hold back her curiosity, she walked to the back of the tree and looked through the gap between the flowers, but it was Xia Ruoqing who was being supported by a maid.From this angle, Su Lingyu could see that Xia Ruoqing was holding a stick in her hand and sticking it into her mouth. The stick moved slightly, and Xia Ruoqing retched when she lowered her head, and the liquid flowed out from the corners of her lips.

Su Lingyu was slightly stunned, but immediately understood that Xia Ruoqing was trying to induce vomiting, and wanted to spit out the wine she had just drank.

"Your Majesty! You are pregnant with the emperor's dragon species, so what if the good news comes out? With His Majesty backing you, how dare others do something?!"

"No! If the happy news is spread before the fetal image is completely stable, this fetus will definitely not be kept. The means of the harem's favor... Even if there is Your Majesty, so what? Have you forgotten what happened to the Fumei?" A lot of dissatisfaction, if there is this child to stabilize the king's heart, it will be fine, if it is gone... the Xia clan may be over!"
