Cold palace concubine pretty

In the early morning of the second day, Ling Zifei had already dressed up and was sitting in the Dongzhao Hall, with a calm expression and a sense of majesty everywhere, "Are they here?"

"Return to the master, the concubines are already waiting outside the palace, Tao Ruo will announce them to come in?" Tao Ruo listened to Ling Zifei's order.

Ling Zifei paused for a moment, and asked, "Have Li Jingyi and Zhao Yaner come?" The other concubines are not that important in her eyes, and it is those two that she has to deal with. Originally she was not with Zhao Yaner. The enemy, but not the emperor's order.She also knew that right now, if she directly confronted Li Jingyu everywhere, it would inevitably cause the left minister's dissatisfaction. His strength should not be underestimated. Only by eradicating his left and right arms first, can they catch all the thieves in one go.And these women in the harem are their victims. In order to satisfy their family glory, their rights and wealth were sent to the palace without hesitation. They share a man, intrigue, and lose their life forever if they are not careful. Freedom, or implicating the whole family, the fate of these women is really something to blame, but she herself is one of them.

"Reporting to Master, Concubine Li Gui said that she hadn't arrived yet, while Concubine Zhao Yi had already stood outside the palace gate and waited."

After hearing the words, Ling Zifei hooked the corners of his lips, and then signaled Tao Ruo to invite those women in.

Tao Ruo responded and exited the hall. Ling Zifei cast a glance at Qiu Yu, who looked dull, and called out, "Qiu Yu, do you believe me?" Of course she knew that Qiu Yu was still worried about Zhang Yuxin, and she also saw that she had been calm and scared all the time. I will not go to rescue her back.

Qiu Yu was stunned, she was a little dazed like a sculpture, she stood beside Ling Zifei with a little stiff hands and feet, "I, Qiu Yu... Qiu Yu believes in the master." Qiu Yu lowered her eyes, tears were like stubborn and stubborn things Qiu Yu knew Ling Zifei's affection for her young lady, she saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart, but she didn't understand why there was no movement, and instead she attracted a group of concubines, and she didn't understand what she was doing.

"That's good. Believe me, I will definitely save Xin'er intact." It was not only a promise to Qiu Yu, but also to herself.Ling Zifei raised his eyes again, his expression was blank, he looked like an emotionless ceramic doll, neither crying nor laughing, silently waiting for the people outside the hall to walk in one after another.

Qiu Yu frowned, looked at Ling Zifei, and said nothing.Now that the master has said so, then she really shouldn't be suspicious of Qiu Yu, just do her job well, and the young lady will be back soon...

After a while, Tao Ruo in green clothes came in with a group of concubines. They were arranged in order according to their ranks. As expected, Zhao Yaner ranked first. After all, she was one of the "Four Concubines". The country has a strict hierarchical system. Every morning, the empress must bring concubines of the third rank and above to greet the queen mother, and the order of greetings is also extremely important. The concubines are arranged according to their ranks, just because Tuoba Genghu did not set up a queen , so the concubines have no leader, and Ling Zifei is also the empress dowager who is rejected by the hand in Qingsha country, so there are no concubines to pay their respects.Today, all the concubines have come to the Dongzhao Hall in order to show off to the emperor. According to the etiquette system, the concubine with the highest rank should lead the concubines to pay their respects when there is no queen, but it should have been canonized as the imperial concubine The highest-ranking concubine is Li Jinglai, the head of the "four concubines", but it is very normal for her not to want to appear in Dongzhao Hall, so Zhao Yan'er will take on this errand up.

The concubine behind Zhao Yaner is Dou Yuchun, followed by Zhou Xunru, Sun Xiaoli, Han Zhengling, Cao Xingtong...they walked forward with smiles on their faces, and said in unison: "The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager! May the empress be blessed and safe."

Afterwards, a faint smile appeared on Ling Zifei's cheeks, "Sit down." After the concubines Xie En sat down, he ordered, "Tao Ruo, Qiu Yu, pour tea for them."

In Qingsha Kingdom, the etiquette in the harem is complicated. When paying respects, refreshments are provided according to the rank of each concubine, so Ling Zifei glanced at the concubine's refreshments, and looked at a wooden table with some patterns carved beside her. On the morning, the tea and snacks have been prepared, and they are very rich.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the welfare of the queen mother is indeed much better.

Before Ling Zifei could open her mouth, Concubine Dou took a sip of tea and said, "Concubine Li Gui didn't come here to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she is a bit arrogant." Then she looked at Ling Zifei, her charming eyes hooked over, like He was trying to defend her against injustice.

Ling Zifei just felt dumbfounded, she was not the emperor, why did she want to seduce herself?

Then I heard Concubine Sun say: "Yeah, it's so arrogant that you don't even pay attention to the empress dowager. Sister Yifei, don't you think so?" To win over the general.

Zhao Yan'er was taken aback, and a smile appeared on her face, "The elder sister of the noble concubine did not come to Dongzhao Hall to pay her respects to the Queen Mother because she was suffering from the wind and cold. She answered Concubine Sun's question, but in fact she was putting aside the conflict from herself, and shifted all the focus to Queen Mother Ling. Although she didn't know why Ling Zifei was so strange to her this time, if it was not good for her, she would It is absolutely impossible to let it be slaughtered.

All the concubines looked at Ling Zifei, but Ling Zifei didn't mind, and said with a smile, "Yes, Concubine Li Gui is delicate and weak, so it would be troublesome to come to Dongzhao Hall. But the Ai family thinks that it will be convenient for you concubines to accompany you." Good. Everyone is sweet and handsome, if the emperor can see all of you, he should be very happy, you guys should do more for the royal family." Changed the subject smoothly.

All the concubines were happy when they heard these words, and some of the concubines' cheeks were half red.But Ling Zifei noticed that although Zhao Yan'er pretended to be a little shy, she seemed to be looking at her deeper, which was fine.She didn't want to hurt Zhao Yan'er, but her father was the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, colluding with the left minister to embarrass the royal family; and Xin'er was used by Tuoba Genghu as a bargaining chip to threaten her, so she agreed as a last resort, and now she regrets it too late.Ling Zifei hoped that Zhao Yan'er could understand, hoped that she could save herself from danger, but she was unwilling to fail the mission and let her heart be buried with her.

But let Xin'er know these things, I'm afraid she will also hate her own selfishness.

Concentrating her mind, she looked at Zhao Yan'er softly, "Yan'er, did you bring the tea?" Everyone was startled by the sound, when did the Queen Mother and Zhao Yan'er get along so well?To actually call her so intimately, the jealousy of the concubines rose again.

Zhao Yan'er was also a little stunned. She didn't expect Ling Zifei to be so close to her, which made her a little uneasy. This Queen Mother Ling is no longer the woman she met by chance before. In Ling Zifei's eyes, she Seeing something different, it seems that she has changed, so there must be a reason for her to do this.She knew that being too close to the empress dowager would definitely cause dissatisfaction from others. It would be great if she was the emperor's favorite concubine. When is it now?Today, Ling Zifei is pressing every step of the way, and it seems that he cannot be weak any longer.There was a smile on his lips, "Queen Mother, the concubine brought the tea." Then he looked at the maid behind him, "Yu'er, present the tea to the Queen Mother."

The maid obediently responded, and handed the tea to Tao Ruo who came to pick it up. The two smiled at each other, and then retreated to their original positions.

"Yan'er is better, but there are not enough tea leaves, so I won't let everyone taste them."

But how dare the concubines dare to grab the tea from the queen mother? Naturally, they dared not, but they began to slander Zhao Yaner in their hearts. If she really found the queen mother as a backer, she must also want to be favored by the king as soon as possible. out of balance.

Ling Zifei, who was sitting in the upper seat, of course knew the intentions of these concubines, but the emperor had already distrusted her, and generally would not come to Dongzhao Hall.And now they have completely fallen out, he doesn't even want to see Song Xingcheng, let alone her?It's completely gone to Li Jingyi's gentle hometown, but she doesn't care how much scheming is involved.It was really wrong for these concubines to try to curry favor with her in Dongzhao Palace. You must know that Li Jingyi was completely beaten up by her...

Just when Ling Zifei was about to speak out, a eunuch's shrill cry came from outside, "The emperor is here!"
