Cannon Fodder Strategy

Empress Dowager Lu tried to make Lily angry but failed, and asked her to bring the topic to Concubine Xian. Just as Empress Dowager Lu was about to speak, a servant outside announced that the emperor had come to pay homage to Empress Dowager Lu.

"Your Majesty, it is better to come early than to come well." Empress Dowager Lu sat up straight. The young emperor changed into purple clothes and came to Fengming Hall to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Lu. The clothes made him look so handsome and made Liu Bin and others look at him. Even more drunk.

When he mentioned Lily's proposal to reward An Xue, the emperor's eyes first casually passed over several women in the scene, and finally fell on Empress Dowager Lu: "What do you think, Empress Dowager Yi?"

"The Ai family feels that the harem now has a lot of status, and An Xue has done a good job in serving her, but she has no heirs. If the extra quota is too high, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. How about naming her a beauty and having the emperor give her a title to show his favor? ?" Empress Dowager Lu grabbed the armrest of the chair, and her armored fingers were almost pinched into the chair. As soon as she finished speaking softly, Emperor Yongming paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: " According to the Queen Mother, how should I bestow this word?"

Others seemed to think that Emperor Yongming respected Empress Dowager Lu very much and followed her advice in everything, but from Lily's point of view, she felt that something was not right anyway.

She was sitting at the head of a group of women. When she raised her head, she could see Emperor Yongming's expression clearly. The original owner loved Emperor Yongming deeply and knew him deeply. She remembered every move, every smile he made. Although Di's expression was still calm at this time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his eyes were deep. This was clearly the look in his eyes when he was in a very good mood and was willing to tease a woman.

But an Empress Dowager Lu is an emperor, and Empress Dowager Lu is still the noble widow of the late emperor. I have been newly widowed for less than a year, and one is a stepson, which is a bit too shocking.

Liang He was not a fool, he did not dare to do such a rebellious act. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, I am afraid that the power under his butt may not be secure! Lily's heart was filled with turmoil, and her fingers tightened slightly.

Empress Dowager Lu seemed not to notice the strangeness of Emperor Yongming, and stretched out her hand to pretend to caress the hem of her skirt. He pondered for a moment: "How about just giving me the word "virtue"?"

Concubine Xian had a ferocious expression after hearing this.

Although she was granted the title of fourth concubine, she had served Emperor Yongming for more than two years, from entering the palace at the age of fifteen to now, when Emperor Yongming ascended the throne in the seventeenth year, she was granted the title of the emperor's harem. It took her two years to become a virtuous concubine, and she has been there to this day. There is no special seal yet. Don't look at it, An Xue only sealed the beauty. But she had a title, so it was obvious that the emperor didn't just love her in the ordinary sense. A slave could step on her to reach this point. Concubine Xian felt as if there was a big stone in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Lily But he said leisurely:

"In my opinion, this word is a bit inappropriate. If Anmei is granted the title of Virtue, wouldn't it conflict with the title of Virtue of the Concubine?" As soon as Lily said this, Emperor Yongming turned around and said calmly. He glanced at her, and although the look in his eyes wasn't sharp, it still spoke with authority, as if he was blaming her for interrupting rashly. Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief. She was unhappy when she heard Empress Dowager Lu say this at first, but she didn't expect that Baihe would speak up for her. In the past, they were like kings without seeing kings. They hate each other until the other person dies. She didn't expect Lily to help her this time, and she didn't know if it was Liang Mubei's death that made the concubine's temperament so chaotic.

After hearing Lily's reminder, Queen Mother Lu seemed to have come back to her senses. He reached out and patted his thigh:

"Oh, thanks to the imperial concubine for reminding me. Otherwise, the Ai family would have forgotten this." After saying this, she went to see Emperor Yongming again: "In your opinion, which word is better?"

In the palace, women's seals are usually written with auspicious characters such as "De, Hui, Li, and An". An Xue's own name contains "An". Concubine Xian and others thought that Liang He would definitely say the word "An". Who would have expected it? As soon as Emperor Yongming heard what Empress Dowager Lu said, he said, "Then seal it with the word "Yun"."

"Beautiful Yun?" Queen Mother Lu asked with her cheeks flushed. Emperor Yongming nodded, and the matter was remembered as such.

After talking about An Xue, Emperor Yongming asked Lily about the death of Liang Mubei. He wanted to use the topic to show off Concubine Xian's anger at being tricked by Lily yesterday. Lily came to say hello today and watched a scene. It was a good show, and she accidentally discovered something remarkable. She was in a very good mood at this time. When Emperor Yongming lectured her with dignity, she listened with a smile.

"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson. It's just that Concubine Xian's veil fell in the imperial garden, but it can't be fake. Concubine Xian said that the veil was broken before it fell. How could there be such a coincidence? So? I just called her here to ask a few questions, but after my concubine lost her son, I always felt that my heart was filled with pain, and sometimes I was too sad and forgetful. Therefore, I forgot that Concubine Xian's sister was still there yesterday, and I felt a little sorry. "She was talking nonsense with her eyes open. Emperor Yongming could only remain silent even if he knew it was false.

"It's just that I have to trouble my sister, Concubine Xian, to go to Xianfu Palace with me today. I have some things to ask my sister." Yesterday, Concubine Xian was summoned to Xianfu Palace for some fun, and today she went to Xianfu Palace again. To come, and in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, is really too much of a deception. Concubine Xian sneered twice. From yesterday to now, she was full of anger. Now she couldn't help but burst out: "What do you mean, concubine?"

She was so angry that she refused to even use the excuses she used to falsely call her sisters: "Is there anything you have to say that is hard to say in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but you have to say it in the imperial concubine's palace? "

"Of course it's hard to tell. The murder of Mu Bei is a big deal. Once I find out some things, I will report them to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Why should my sister be so anxious?"

Lily pushed back Concubine Xian's words, which made Concubine Xian grit her teeth in anger.

Emperor Yongming chatted impatiently with these women, and Empress Dowager Lu also looked tired. However, a group of women saw the emperor's presence and did not want to leave easily. Lily and Concubine Xian had "important matters" with them, so Come out of Fengming Hall first, and stop flowing into the muddy water.

The two carriages entered Xianfu Palace one after another. Concubine Xian's face turned cold as soon as she entered the palace door. As soon as the lilies in the palace came back, the two people of Poetry and Painting moved all the nails down in each palace, and the tone Baihe's trustworthy palace servant came to wait on her. Concubine Xian said with a cold face:

"Now that you are not in the Queen Mother's Palace, why are you still pretending?"

"Look at your temper." Lily glanced at her sideways, with unspeakable sarcasm in her eyes. Huayi brought the tea, Lily stretched out her hand to cover it, wiped the lid on the cup, and skimmed off the sesame and sesame seeds on it. I took a sip of the ground peanuts first and felt that my lips were a little warmer. Seeing that Concubine Xian seemed to be angry after hearing what she said, she put the tea cup on the table and lazily leaned towards the chair. He leaned back and said, "A beauty named Yun has made you so angry that you are so helpless. No wonder you are being plotted against."

Concubine Xian's face changed drastically, and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be bursting with fire: "What do you mean?"

"The meaning is obvious, why do you need to ask?"

At this point, Concubine Xian knew that she had fallen into Lily's scheme, but before she could figure out what happened to the eldest prince, Lily stretched out her hand to press her temples, with a smile on her lips but very calm eyes: "If I am a little more impulsive, I'm afraid that you and I will both become pawns." After she finished speaking, seeing Concubine Xian still frowning and looking puzzled, she sneered: "I might as well tell you directly, yesterday we sent Shang Xi went to call you and asked you to wait for half a day at Xianfu Palace. It was all my fault, and I'm afraid you knew it well."

Indeed, Concubine Xian already knew this. Yesterday, she thought Lily was trying to win favor. Later, An Xue crawled into bed. She also thought Lily wanted to take advantage of this to take revenge on herself, deliberately venting her anger on the eldest prince's behalf, and wanted to eat her alive in the morning. Her heart was ready. When she heard Lily's words, it didn't seem like what she had imagined. Concubine Xian suppressed the anger in her heart and nodded:

"That's true, but what does that have to do with my concubine being plotted against?"

"You came to Xianfu Palace yesterday and were angry. Shang Xi complained to the emperor, and the emperor will comfort you. That's why you went to Jianjia Palace yesterday." The three concubines have a fixed day of bedtime every month. The beauties in the palace Many, the emperor has recently favored Concubine Liu, and probably spent five days in a month sleeping with her. Everyone in the harem was so angry that they gnashed their teeth and broke countless veils. In comparison, although the third concubine stayed in bed steadily, the number of days was limited. Not much.

Yesterday was not supposed to be Concubine Xian's day, but the Emperor went to her palace. If it hadn't been for An Xue, Concubine Xian would have been overjoyed. But because the slave climbed into bed, she really couldn't laugh at this time. Instead, she felt her face being slapped, and she sneered again and again:

"According to what my sister said, I should really thank my sister!"

"That's true." Concubine Xian's words were originally full of sarcasm, but Lily admitted it right away. Concubine Xian was so angry that her heart ached, and she was about to get angry, but Lily tilted her head to look at her, with her white jade-like arm supporting her little one. On the bed, she rested her chin on her palms, her skin on her jade wrists was crystal clear. The green clothes made her skin look like a peeled lychee, so tender that it seemed like you could pinch water out of it. The danko on her fingers was brightly colored, and it looked like it had just been dyed. Yes, such a silhouette is beautiful everywhere, but the look in her eyes makes Concubine Xian particularly unhappy.

"Shouldn't you be grateful to me? My sister has been in the palace for more than two years. You should know that the objects in the palace always have customized numbers. Any damage must be reported and recorded. The objects in the palace, especially Personal belongings are strictly inspected, so how could it happen that a handkerchief was taken into the laundry department and washed to pieces?" Lily stared at Concubine Xian with sarcastic eyes, and as soon as she saw her words coming out of her mouth, she Her expression gradually changed, knowing that she might not have thought about this before, perhaps because she trusted An Xue too much, but now that she mentioned it, she finally figured it out.
