The New Year is approaching and the weather is getting colder. Although it is a sunny day today, it snowed all night last night. It accumulated several feet thick and was completely white. Looking at it for a long time could not help but sting a little.By the way, the Zhao sisters here were sweating even in the winter as soon as they finished dancing.There was generous applause, and Liu Piaopiao was the most enthusiastic.Compared with the casual dance that night, they put on special dance clothes this time and were accompanied by dance music. They looked even more graceful and graceful, with their feathers flowing."Go down first." Gu Lingjun said with a smile.The Zhao sisters received the order, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.Just like the scenery they saw outside, their hearts were full of confusion and at a loss. On the dayof ***, Zhang Defu got up early to check out the "living" gift, and even brought along a famous animal trainer from the palace. When I went there and saw it, I was dumbfounded.This, how could this be a human being?And she's still a woman.The little thought involved in this is self-evident, but the person who gave the gift was a little too bold.Zhang Defu was also undecided and went back to ask His Majesty for instructions.A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Yuheng's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "Since it has been given to the imperial concubine, let her handle it."Zhang Defu hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face.It's nothing unusual to send people to the palace. There are already many people who are ready to secretly inquire about him. After all, it is a good thing for the emperor to have members of his own family in his harem. It's just that instead of sending people to His Majesty's harem, it has become a matter of sending people to the imperial concubine's palace.In the past, many people would happily run to the imperial concubine's palace. Many people would be happier to see the imperial concubine than to see the majesty. Add to this the current situation.Having been in the palace for many years, Zhang Defu, who thought he had seen all the storms, couldn't help but have some doubts.Is this his majesty's harem or the empress's harem...Thinking of the Jiangnan Prefecture again, Zhang Defu shook his head and couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart. I guess I am still waiting at home to know when the imperial edict, which rises and falls secretly, will be delivered.He looked up at the sky. It was probably too cold to go to that wild and remote place in such a cold weather.***"Mother, these Zhao sisters are really good at dancing." After they left, Liu Piaopiao still had an afterthought on her face and couldn't help but praise."Isn't it?""It's really good."...There were many people sitting below who responded and nodded along. Many of them ran to Lingyouqing Palace a while ago and immediately reversed the situation when they saw something was wrong.It's just that Liu Piaopiao and others didn't show a good face, and the word "grass on the wall" was clearly displayed on their faces.The "little people" are half shy and half sad. They come from ordinary backgrounds, and their talents and appearance are not particularly outstanding. Even though he holds a position in the palace, he is still regarded as a minor figure. In order to make myself feel better, I had to find someone to take refuge with.Looking at the overall situation, besides the imperial concubine, it is Ling Bin. As for Ling Concubine, there were far less people than the imperial concubine, so she was able to say a few more words. They thought that Ling Bin had just made a great contribution, and maybe something would turn around...However, what they didn't expect was that the flame of their hope was extinguished just as it took off. Seeing Ling Bin's livid face, they came back without thinking much.Gu Lingjun looked at everyone's faces and knew that they must have some misunderstanding. Not many people know the truth about Xiao Yuheng giving her all the gifts, so naturally she won't make a big deal about it. She didn't want to guess what this would look like to outsiders.Gu Lingjun felt that the "favorite concubine" hat on her head seemed to be tightened a little tighter. But thinking of this, Gu Lingyun was not as frightened as when he first entered the palace, but felt faintly sweet.Thinking of the Zheng sisters, Gu Lingjun wondered in her mind whether they could learn the women's group dance she had seen in her previous life..."Speaking of which, the tribute is coming soon. This year, more Turks have come to sign a treaty. It's more lively than usual." Someone suddenly brought up another topic.Speaking of Turks, we cannot do without Gu Jiajun. Another person quickly seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "This great victory is all due to General Gu. For such a great contribution, the reward must be a lot."After hearing this, the people in the palace couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, even women can reward him. Now that you are a royal concubine, what else is strange?***This tribute has a long history in the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the continuous growth of national power, it was originally just a tributary country seeking refuge from the surrounding countries. Gradually, powerful countries such as Xiliang and Dongqi also joined it.This was the grand day of Monday, and everyone in the court had already begun preparations. Even Gu Lingjun was not able to avoid it, practicing manners and rules for several days. In addition, she also learned the history of various countries, focusing on looking at the relationship diagrams of royal personnel in each country.So when she met Xiao Yuheng, Gu Lingjun subconsciously made up the "standard dignified imperial concubine smile" that she had practiced hard for many days.Xiao Yuheng frowned slightly, "Sit down.""Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Lingjun lowered his head slightly and sat down with his previous smile, his back straight. This is the best angle for her to practice her salute in front of the mirror.However, when he saw the things on the table, Gu Lingjun couldn't hold back the smile on his face.It was actually the hot pot she had been dreaming about for many days!Gu Lingjun had wanted to eat hot pot for a long time. Every time he invited Eunuch Deng, Lu Zhu and the others, he refused immediately, saying, "This is against the rules."She was alone, and her interest was mostly gone.Nowadays, a person who complies with the rules actually comes to her palace to eat hot pot. Gu Lingjun is filled with joy. She smiles and bites her lip. Her eyes are bright and her anticipation is evident. The hard-earned manners and smiles were thrown out of the window for a moment.Xiao Yuheng chuckled silently.Compared with the first time I ate with Xiao Yuheng, my head was buried low and I didn't dare to eat too much food. Gu Lingjun was completely different now. It was only after Eunuch Deng coughed to remind her that she realized that she had finished the whole plate of meat.Gu Lingjun's face was a little red, and he didn't know if he was suffocated by the heat. He was a little embarrassed holding his chopsticks.Xiao Yuheng seemed to have just eaten one piece. Did she eat that much?When he was reminded of the imperial concubine, the happy expression on Eunuch Deng's face could not last for less than ten seconds. His Majesty saw him glance at him lightly, full of dissatisfaction.Eunuch Deng's heart skipped a beat, followed by a pain in his head."Why don't you go and see what's going on with those guys in the imperial kitchen? They dare to fool even His Majesty and the Empress. Why are the quantities delivered today so much less?" Zhang Defu slapped Eunuch Deng on the head and said seriously. .Gu Lingjun cast a grateful look.Yes, it's not that she ate too much, it's that the people in the imperial kitchen cut corners, Gu Lingjun said hypnotically in her heart.While waiting, Gu Lingjun asked Xiao Yuheng, "Your Majesty, will the tribute begin soon?""Yes." Xiao Yuheng responded lightly."Is there anything you need me to do?"Xiao Yuheng turned to look at her and said, "No."After receiving this answer, Gu Lingjun wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of what she could do.He sighed and said casually: "If these countries come to pay tribute, I guess they can receive a lot of things."Xiao Yuheng's gaze had not yet been taken away, and he looked her up and down with deep meaning."No...I didn't mean that..." Gu Lingjun realized it, reacted, blushed, and hurriedly explained, "I don't want anything, I'm just asking." Thelast gift was so unruly, this time If the tribute was paid to her and someone found out, the memorial would probably drown her."It's not impossible if you want it." Xiao Yuheng said lightly with a smile on his lips.Gu Lingjun looked away, not daring to look at each other. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she asked with a troubled expression: "Your Majesty, will this tribute...will there be 'living' things?"She said . I couldn't help but think of what I had seen in history books before. Usually in situations like this, there would be a "marriage princess". It is impossible for a princess of a country to reward her...Xiao Yuheng deliberately misunderstood, "Of course there will be, and there were many rare and exotic animals in the past tribute."Gu Lingjun curled his lips, "Your Majesty, you know what I said. Not this.""What is that?"Gu Lingyun smashed the jar and closed his eyes and said, "Woman! If the Turks send a princess, will you accept it?" Gu Lingjun also raised the question in his mind, hoping to know the answer but also subconsciously wanting to escape.The few seconds of waiting seemed infinite. After a while, I heard the person next to me ask one word after another: "Do you want to accept it?"The author has something to say: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
