Shao Shang covered the back of his hand and glared angrily at Ling Budo. However, no one in the palace paid attention to them at this time, and everyone's attention was drawn by the palace concubine who slowly stepped inside.

"I'll care about you in the future!" Shaoshang was anxious to watch the play, so he had to whisper the next sentence.

Ling Budo turned his head and refused to look at her again.

Concubine Yue approached and bowed slowly to the Empress. All the royal family members also stood up and bowed to her. Only the Crown Prince could bow slightly. When Concubine Yue raised her head, Shao Shang saw her appearance, but it was a beautiful and fluttering face with shallow pear eddies on her cheeks. Although she was approaching her age, she was not confused, but she looked like she was in her thirties.

Shaoshang murmured, "This Empress Yue is also very beautiful, not worse than the Queen." This is not very good.

Ling Budo thought for himself, as if he didn't hear it.

"...Why are you here today?" The old princess Ruyang seemed a little uncomfortable, and her tone was no longer high, "Didn't you always come to the family banquet?"

Concubine Yue helped the palace maid to get up slowly, He walked up to the chief position and said as he walked, "It's because I miss my aunt. I miss my aunt and I can't sleep even if I want to. When I heard that my aunt came, I hurried over without even changing my clothes.

" Every word is very affectionate, but the tone of voice is flatter than the floor, and Concubine Yue's face shows no sign of closeness, instead, her expression is indifferent - Shao Shang felt a little bit of meaning.

At the same time, she also noticed that the people around her seemed to have fallen into aphasia and facial paralysis collectively. They bowed their heads silently, restrained their faces and remained quiet. From their expressions to body language, they clearly expressed their willingness to keep a low profile and not pay attention.

What's more interesting is the empress' expression. The former had a complicated expression, as if he was happy but not afraid of trouble, while the latter smiled helplessly, and stepped back slightly indiscernibly—from a psychological point of view, this is a gesture of hope to stay out of the way.

Concubine Yue stepped up the stairs and walked to Concubine Ruyang, staring down, "Auntie, should you give in?" It seemed like the scene where the old concubine forced Xu Meiren back.

The Fifth Prince's eyes lit up.

Concubine Ruyang angrily said, "I am your elder!" Although Concubine Yue was the second noblewoman in the country, her food and food rank was higher than her own, but she still couldn't save her face.

"If you want to talk about elders, you are more of His Majesty's elders, why don't you ask His Majesty to let him go and sit on top of His Majesty?" Concubine Yue's lips were light, and she spoke quickly and lightly.

Princess Ruyang's face turned purple, and Yuchang County Master saw that something was wrong, so he obediently helped his suffocating grandmother, and retreated to sit behind another food table that the palace maid had just set up.

Concubine Yue sat down with a natural look and looked down: "Huh? The third princess, why didn't you come." The

emperor stroked his beard and was thinking about how to speak, Concubine Yue took the question and answered: "Oh, I know, she must have made a mistake again. It seems that the last time the fine was not enough, it was because His Majesty was softhearted that he fined 30% of the food. I said at the beginning that she should take back all her food and slaves. No money and no power, how dare you be arrogant! ... Why don't you add it to her this time?" The

emperor closed his mouth embarrassingly.

The second princess couldn't bear it anymore, and forced a smile: "Mother concubine, the third sister already knows that she is wrong, and she is thinking about it behind closed doors these days. Besides, if you really leave her penniless, then she will not be able to ask me for it. "

Concubine Yue didn't lift her eyelids: "You should focus more on singing poetry and dancing, and if you can't speak, talk less. Come on, let me turn my head and pray to Goddess Nuwa, so that you will be born too. A daughter like your third sister." The

second princess choked and lowered her head deeply.

Seeing that the second prince and concubine on the opposite side were shrunk like a quail, the crown prince raised her head and smiled and said: "The mother-in-law has taught me a lesson, but since the father and the emperor have already punished the third sister before, it is not appropriate to punish them again.

" I haven't dealt with the Crown Princess very much, but I advise the Crown Princess..." Concubine Yue didn't open her lips much, "Take care of your own one-third of an acre of farmland, and you will be yours in the future. It's not too late for the queen to come back and show me how to act."

The crown princess' face turned purple and she was extremely embarrassed. The second prince peeped at her embarrassment and laughed in her stomach. The Crown Princess was full of grievances and wanted to cry. Concubine Yue said again: "But don't worry, I will definitely try my best to leave earlier, so that the Crown Princess will not be exhausted. So don't cry." The

Crown Prince panicked and immediately fell down. Down: "Mother concubine's words are a slap in the face." She turned her head and said sternly, "Why are you crying, keep your voice down!" The

Crown Princess really didn't dare to cry.

Old Princess Ruyang put on the air of an elder, and said solemnly: "You are too powerful, let's see how you scared the prince and the princess. After all, the princess is a princess, and she should have the style she should have. The control is dull..."

"The princess is not only the princess, but also the daughter of Your Majesty." Concubine Yue spoke slowly, "As parents, give birth to them and raise them, so that they will not worry about food and clothing, and grow up with dignity. I don't ask them what to do. Being filial and considerate, I just hope that I will not be rambunctious, domineering, and disgrace my parents. Aunt, is this expectation of my children too high?"

So the old princess Ruyang had to shut up.

Shao Shang was surprised and didn't want to, and huddled behind Ling Budo's side and peeked with wide eyes.

The emperor seemed to be very accustomed to it, and he had no intention to speak from beginning to end, and the empress even pretended not to hear it.

"Okay, the elders want to talk, let the young ones go back to rest first."

Concubine Yue pointed to the little princes who were sitting at the back, who were under ten years old. The maids hurriedly took the five little boys away.

Talking to herself like this, Concubine Yue didn't feel wrong at all, she followed everyone's eyes and looked at Shaoshang, and said, "Is this the bride of Eleven Lang? Feeling full."

Hearing a few sneers coming from the surroundings, Shao Shang was embarrassed, and stammered back: "Concubine, concubine, concubine..." Looking at Ling Budo, who knew that her fiance turned his face and refused to move. .

The fifth princess was overjoyed, feeling that she had finally found a platform to play, and quickly said: "Mother concubine has a good vision, this lady..."

"Xiao Wu, why are you still like this!" Concubine Yue stared at the face of the Fifth Princess and frowned, "The sores on your face have been growing for two years, and now not only have they not been refunded, they have become more prosperous, you want to wear Is this face married? The fan can't hide it." The

fifth princess was instantly petrified, and the paste was still purplish red.

"Concubine Ai is right." The emperor finally said, "I heard the queen tell you a few years ago that you need to eat light food, stop drinking and meat, don't play around all day, and turn upside down in the morning and evening. You didn't listen to it!" The

fifth princess was ashamed and angry . Uneasy, trembling all over, with tears rolling in his eyes, he finally couldn't help but ran out of the palace with a whimper.

The palace was quiet, and there was a sense of turmoil.

As if nothing had happened, Concubine Yue said to herself, "I ran away without saying goodbye, no rules. Oh, forget it, let her be more at ease before getting married, I'm just too soft-hearted, and I love to condone children. "

Everyone: ... (You are talking nonsense!)

The fourth princess was snickering, and when she looked up, she saw her own mother looking over, she was shocked, and immediately said loudly: "My son, go to see the fifth sister, so I will give some comfort, call She changed her eating habits." After receiving the consent of the emperor with a wave of his hand, he quickly left the palace in a deadly dash.

Shao Shang was surprised and could not speak. There is a mother like Concubine Yue, who was born in HARD mode.

"Why are you so mean! Let's see how you scared the children." The old princess Ruyang, who was not afraid of death, spoke up again to face the Concubine Gangyue, which attracted the admiration of the younger generation.

Concubine Yue didn't realize it, and said back: "Why did my aunt only say me, and His Majesty also reprimanded the Fifth Princess just now." Seeing that the old princess was speechless, she continued on her own, "It's no wonder that my aunt didn't like me since I was young. I always say I act arbitrarily..."

The concubine was embarrassed to see the situation, and came out to smooth things out: "The love is deep, and the responsibility is severe. The aunt also loves the concubine Yue, so she speaks more seriously. It's all my own family, my own family..."

This time it was the eldest princess' turn to sigh. Although she was not as smooth as her husband, she knew Concubine Yue far better than her husband. From childhood to adulthood, she has always kept in mind that it is better to speak less in front of Concubine Yue - this is a profound lesson that has been exchanged for countless taunts and ridicules.

Sure enough, Concubine Yue said with a smile: "My aunt doesn't love me, it's Your Majesty who loves me." The concubine didn't know whether to

live or die, but smiled and said, "Is that so? My son has heard that His Majesty has been sensible and calm since he was a child, so it's no wonder that the elders love him. Concubine

Yue Wangtian thought for a while, then shook her head: "Not all. In fact, when His Majesty was young, his aunt did not love him very much. Later, His Majesty took care of Nong Sang, and his aunt began to love him. His Majesty was young and capable, and gradually earned his Because of his wealth and fame, his aunt loved him more and more. After His Majesty became emperor, his aunt loved him more than ever. Consort, what do you think?"

Consort: ...

Shao Shang pity: Oh, another plaster statue.

Princess Ruyang was furious and slapped the desk: "Yue Heng, what do you mean! Are you provoking me and His Majesty's flesh and blood!"

Concubine Yue ignored her, smiled at the next head, and said very kindly: "Concubine, it's not to take You are outsiders, but there are some stories of elders, you better not listen to them."

The concubine was so grateful that she was about to cry, and hurriedly got up and retire.

The second concubine is clumsy in words, but not slow in action. The two couples resigned at the same time, and the second concubine pulled the second princess away in the second second with lightning speed.

Shaoshang watched them leave, laughing until his stomach hurts.

"...My aunt's rebuke I don't dare to take." Concubine Yue took a sip of wine and said freely, "In those days, the eldest princess was pregnant and weak, and my aunt was reluctant to borrow money to buy meat for nourishment. It's freezing and snowing, your Majesty had to go hunting in the mountains, hoping I was hunting some fur and meat for my eldest sister, and when I was chased back by brother Huo Chong, my body was already frozen and blue and purple."

The old things were brought up suddenly, Princess Ruyang was ashamed and shy, she peeked at the emperor a few times, and seeing his expressionless face, she could only stammer: "I can't bear money. Your uncles were outside at that time. I haven't returned for a few months, so I can't save some savings! How did Lao Shen know that His Majesty would go into the mountains, and when he found out, Lao Shen immediately called someone to report to the Huo family!"

Although she tried her best to defend herself, the next four princes were already Staring at him resentfully, the emperor turned his face inward, bowed his head sideways, and said nothing.

"Yes," Concubine Yue suddenly became sad, "My family is in a neighboring county. When we found out, Brother Huo Chong had already provided money to raise the eldest princess' pregnancy and her majesty's typhoid fever. Alas, good people don't live long. ..." The

palace was quiet again, and after a while, Concubine Yue said to Ling Budoubt, "Your uncle has only your bloodline, so as a biological son, he will offer some incense to your uncle's family, lest they have no one to worship and do in the future. A lonely ghost."

Ling Buyu cupped his hands and said, Shao Shang noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly.

"That's right!" Princess Ruyang said anxiously, "I also hope that Eleven Lang will get married and have children soon, but look at Cheng's family. You should look for a woman from a distinguished background and a slightly older age, so that you can give birth after entering the door!" As she spoke, she pulled her granddaughter beside her, "My daughter Ying..."

"Xu Meiren, I see You look bad." Concubine Yue suddenly said this.

Xu Meiren's mother and son were fascinated by what they heard, and they were stunned when they heard the words. The mother and son exchanged glances and quickly understood. The mother touched her forehead and moaned, and the son quickly offered to help her mother go back to rest, and then both left.

Seeing more and more people around him, Shao Shang felt a little uneasy.

Concubine Yue smiled genially at Yuchang County Lord, but Yuchang County Lord shuddered.

Concubine Yue said: "Nv Ying, my concubine, you are an honest child, and you are not at fault. It's a pity that you have an early grandmother who bullied other people's elder brothers and died. Let me put it this way. The unmarried women of the right age are better than you! There are some delusions, it is better for you to break up earlier, while you are young, find another good husband to marry. "

The Princess of Yuchang whimpered, covering his sleeves and wept softly.

"What did you say!" Concubine Ruyang shouted in tears, "You, you...you disobeyed the elders, you..."

Concubine Yue drank another sip of wine in a leisurely manner, unmoved.

"Niangniang," Ling Budo said suddenly, "Rongchen said something to the Yuchang County Master."

Then he got up and said, "The County Master, even without the old princess Ruyang, I would not marry you. I would rather die at the border back then. I don't want to come back and marry you..."

"Zisheng!" The emperor turned around abruptly, with a rare sharp voice, "You can marry whoever you want, whoever you don't want to marry, and no one can force you! Who dares to come? Threatening you, I told them to live or die!"

Yuchang County's face turned pale, no longer embarrassed, he covered his face and cried and left.

Concubine Ruyang was shocked by the emperor's power, so she couldn't help but restrain her momentum, and said embarrassingly: "I mean, Zisheng's marriage is decided by His Majesty. Courtesy..."

Concubine Yue turned her head and looked down: "I want to talk about the secret affairs of the Huo family, apart from Eleven Lang and his wife, do you still want to continue listening?

" Concubine Yue sighed, "Prince, Concubine, what are you going to do? Don't you know what happened to Zisheng?" The

Prince and Concubine had to sit still with embarrassed expressions on their faces. This time, the Second Prince and his wife did not envy them at all. , hurriedly followed the third prince and the fourth prince away.

Shao Shang: ...Four more escaped.

"...Why are you protecting Huo Junhua. She she..." Princess Ruyang was afraid of Ling Budo's face and didn't dare to say further.

"Auntie."

Concubine Yue sighed helplessly, "Do I still need you to sow discord with Huo Junhua? I've known her for decades and have been feuding for decades. She poured hot soup on me, and I spilled nails on her. She is such a person. She is full of lies and arrogant. If it wasn't for her brother Huo Chong, how many people would want to beat her up. Speaking of which, she hurt me one more time, when she lied to me to go out that year and almost got caught by a bandit.

" Concubine's accusation, Shao Shang quietly went to look at Ling Budo, but saw that his complexion did not change at all, still quiet and gloomy.

"Exactly!" Princess Ruyang nodded excitedly, "Since this is..."

"So what is this." Concubine Yue said contemptuously, "Even if Huo Junhua is of poor quality, Chunyu's is a bitch! Aunt, you still take it easy. Come on, don't throw yourself out just to protect her."

"How could you say such a thing to a duke's wife?" Princess Ruyang said dissatisfiedly.

"It's really affectionate, God." Concubine Yue moved her fingers calmly, "Okay, you can go all the way to the dark. However, you don't have to come to the palace to point, you don't have this weight, or I will I have to come and miss you, auntie."

She stared at Princess Ruyang and said word by word, "... Next time, I won't send the princes and princesses away." The

old princess was indignant, but did not dare to reply . , I thought in my mind to avoid you, wouldn't it work?

Shao Shang has been paying attention to the queen. I saw her sitting silently in the shadow, quiet and transparent, as if it had nothing to do with all this.

She knew that the queen was very happy tonight, with her husband and children by her side, everything went smoothly; she also asked the maid to dress up for her, the pale crimson skirt was woven with gold all over the place, reflecting her slender figure, and her thick long hair was loosely curled up. , lingering tactfully.

Unfortunately, it was all ruined by the old princess Ruyang.

Once talking about the long and distant past, the Queen is an outsider and can't get involved in the slightest.

...

At the end of this wonderful family banquet, the already sluggish Crown Princess escorted Princess Ruyang away, while Ling Budo and the Crown Prince whispered outside the palace gate, Shaoshang was finally allowed to leave work, and before leaving, she frequently Looking back, I wondered where the emperor would sleep tonight.

Passing through the lush royal courtyard, the vegetation in the summer night exudes a strong scent of rhinoceros, Shao Shang walked briskly towards the palace gate, and saw the familiar black iron carriage parked in the old place, but due to the weather The hot four walls have been removed and replaced with breathable and refreshing tulle curtains. The Liang Qiu brothers led the guards to wait quietly.

When Liang Qiufei saw that there was only one young merchant, he asked where the young master was.

Shao Shang originally wanted to say that he would come after a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ling Budo's appearance was not very good tonight, and it was better not to meet him first, so he said: "Lord Ling is talking to the prince, I don't know what to say. When. I think he's tired tonight, why don't I take a carriage to go home on my own, then leave the horse with him, let him go back to the house on his own, or rest earlier."

Liang Qiuqi couldn't deny it, and raised his arms hard. Come to the small stone pier next to the palace gate to step on the bus for the young merchant. Shao Shang sighed: "I said, can't you prepare a step stool in the car? I can't prevent that sometimes Master Ling is not there, and you won't ask me to go up. If there is no stone pier next time, can I climb it by myself? Go up."

Liang Qiuqi said with a stern look: "At that time, the lowly post will bend her back so that the young lady can step on the car."

Shao Shang was speechless: "...Then I'll climb by myself."

Stepping on the stone pier, she turned around again Said, "Also, I'm not your maiden yet." She has a lifetime of being a married woman, shouldn't the girlhood be so short!

Sitting in the car, listening to the soft sound of the wheels turning, she leaned against the car pile, closed her eyes slightly, and slowly sorted out the information she heard tonight - Huo's family, Ling's family, the emperor's family, The deceased, the living, the people who may help, the people who will cause trouble... It's time to go home, finally home, she needs a good rest.

When she was sleeping lightly, Shao Shang suddenly heard the horse's hooves galloping, and before she could wake up, the tulle curtain and the car door were suddenly opened, and suddenly it was like a sea of ​​water flooding into the car, and the cool seaside mist filled her with the intruding summer wind. Surrounded by endless entanglements.

Ling Buzhu sat opposite her with a cold expression on his face.

The silver crown has been removed, the original straight robe has also been removed, and a plain sack with silver embroidered edges is replaced. , revealing his fair and clean chest, along his thin neck, Shao Shang vaguely saw a slender blue vein.

Shaoshang has never been in a relationship, and she doesn't know how to deal with men tactfully, but she intuitively knows that this is not the right time to joke, so she can only be so silent and worried.

"...Do you think I am yours?" Ling Budo's voice seemed to come from the other side of the sky.

The young man didn't know how to answer. She doesn't have the right to decide whether he is important to her - suddenly her shoulders are heavy, and she finds that Ling Budo's big palm is holding her shoulders and neck and pressing her in front of him.

Ling Budo slowly approached her face, with an unfamiliar and dangerous aura: "When I was fifteen years old, I went to see the Kunlun Sea of ​​Clouds, floating between the sky and the top of the mountain, so pure and so pure that it penetrates one's heart. The way you looked at me in Huaxian. I also like the way you talk to me, you can always make me happy. You provoke me first, and the rest is up to you."

Shaoshang opened his eyes wide, not knowing what to do. overwhelmed.

"I'm not your brother, I can make you whimper, and I'm not your slave, so you can come and go as soon as you call me. I am your future husband-in-law. You must respect me, love me, and believe in me. Me, your eyes should be on me."

Ling Budo's voice was gentle and low, but Shao Shang felt that Merit was frightened, the two were so close, she could smell the cold water on his body, mixed with a touch of wine fragrant.

"I hope you remember this and think about how you should treat me in the future." Ling Budo's tone was calm.

Shaoshang nodded hurriedly.

Ling Budo looked at the girl's tender chest that rose and fell due to her rapid breathing, the tiny blood vessels that bulged slightly on her neck, and even the beating was so weak. He wanted to kiss that tiny blood vessel gently, and then he wanted to bite the blood hard.

He watched for a while and did nothing. Slowly letting down his breath, he lowered his head and took off the jade pendant around his waist to tap the car pile.

The carriage stopped.

Shao Shang was carried down by Ling Budo's powerful palms, he let her go back by herself, and then drove away without hesitation.

Shaoshang stood blankly at the entrance of his alley, and was stunned for five minutes before he started to move his steps, and then reflected in his heart - so, did he really go too far?

After walking down the Cheng's alley for three or five minutes, the old manager Cheng Shun had long waited there with the door open, and when he saw his daughter-in-law approaching, he immediately greeted her with a smile, muttering in his mouth, "Why are you back so late tonight, my daughter-in-law? , it's almost curfew... Oh, why do you smell alcohol? Did Master Ling let you drink? Oh, no, it should be a banquet in the palace. Hey, Master Ling, why didn't he come tonight? Did you come to the alley?"

Shao Shang was not too disturbed, and stared at the old steward: "You stop talking nonsense! I'll ask you, these days, Lord Ling picks me up every day, why don't you remind me to do so? All right! What should he do when he's tired?!"

Cheng Shun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "...it was ordered by the lord. No one should interfere in the affairs between the young lady and the lord Ling, as long as there is no fight, it's up to you. See for yourself."

"Is this what Father said?!" Shao Shang widened his eyes and put his hands on his hips, "Father is too casual! It's so easy for him to be the head of the family!"

Old Cheng Shun laughed Said: "Don't blame the lord. If there was a dispute between the lord and the queen back then, as long as others don't interfere, it's fine to keep it for the next day. But once someone interferes..." He smiled and did not continue.

Even if Shao Shang didn't listen, he knew that Cheng's mother must have been caught in the middle and fanned the flames.

She let out a long breath, dropped her shoulders and slowly walked into the door, just as she was about to step in, she turned around in a hurry, picked up a small stone from the ground, and used all her strength to move towards Ling He threw it in the direction of the alley where he left without a doubt.

——She still settles accounts with him, and he is so angry! Neurosis is amazing!

The author has something to say:

The little angels talked about Gong Dou and Manchu in the comment area. Here I would like to say that, in fact, there was basically no Gong Dou in the court of the Han Dynasty.

Adding up all the queens of the two Han Dynasties, the top spot in the palace fight with technical content in the true sense is Ms. Deng Sui, who is the originator of the pseudo-white lotus. The truth about the wild boar mother getting Li Ji's appearance is still uncertain. If it is true, the two can compete for the position of the leader.

The rest of the concubines and concubines in the harem are all 'whoever has the right to be favored', such as sister Feiyan, who did it so clearly in the later period, the folk sing 'Feiyan came to peck the emperor's grandson', as long as the emperor's favor is still there, they will live well of.

For example, Ms. Dou, the Empress of Emperor Zhang, her routine to defeat the Song sisters and Liangs sisters is so outrageous. You can believe whatever the emperor is. Given that the Liang family is the family of the emperor's biological mother, Ms. Dou put a little more thought into it and wrote an anonymous letter to Neng to kill the big brother of the Liang family - which can be considered very sincere.

This simple and rude way of fighting in the palace continued until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Empress He of Lingdi (her brother was the general He Jin, the former boss of Boss Cao), because she was jealous of Wang Mei's childbirth, she poisoned her without saying a word. It's so pure and unpretentious.

Then the emperor soon found out, and soon he would punish the empress - I said you were too blatant, the emperor didn't even have the process of doubting, guessing, and hesitating.

Assuming that Huan Huan was jealous of the palace concubine and wanted to murder them today, it would be quite a variety of tricks.

In the direction of technology flow, you can ask the pharmacologist's imperial doctor to dispense chronic poison, and calmly hao (first sound) to die Wang Meiren.

In the direction of the plot flow, first make a golden orchid with Wang Meiren, and be intimate with each other every day as if you are going to have sex, and then prepare one, two, three, or four unlucky ghosts in advance. There are reasons and motives. As soon as you start, the flowers are ripe, and there is no flaw. Before she dies, the coaxed Wang Meiren will vomit blood and dig her heart and lungs. "Good sister, my poor child will be entrusted to you"... Game over can be

seen, a thousand Over the years, female intelligence has undergone a great evolution from reptiles to uprights, and it has risen steadily. In sharp contrast to this, the level of males has continued to degenerate. It's really gratifying to focus only on whether the woman's feet are wrapped in straight or triangular rice dumplings.

- The above is purely a joke, don't take offense.
