I smiled, picked up a peach wood comb and combed my long hair at the temple, when Hui Ju came in, holding the same tray in his hand with a gentle water blue inside.

Hui Ju gently shakes it open. There are large hibiscus embroidered with goose yellow, milky white and light pink threads on it. The center is a little golden, and the chest and hem are densely decorated with gold beads, but it does not lose the luxury in the elegance.

Around the waist is a satin-faced satin belt with lake blue, which is soft and comfortable to hold. Two long two hanging down from the back, matched with the mopping back swing, are really beautiful.

Draw a delicate but exquisite makeup. The eyebrows are carefully drawn against the bronze mirror held in your hand. Comb a slightly complicated wishful high-huan bun, decorated with magnolia pattern enamel hairpin and gilt flower support. Olive-shaped sun-green jade hairpin and three newly picked rose flowers, tender yellow. Behind his head is a white jade fan-shaped comb and a few small hairpins of enamel glass. On the ears are a pair of jade rabbit earrings. Without armor, showing slender fingers, wearing a Hetian seed jade ring with a thousand peonies carved on it.

Everything was dressed and standing in front of the mirror, the fairy that Shen Xiyao once thought appeared in the mirror again, but it was too noble.

I looked at myself in the mirror and asked Hui Ju: "I went to see Yue Meiren? How is it?"

Hui Ju knelt down and sorted out the long silver tassels under the tired silk sachet for me, and replied without raising her head: "Yue Mei Ren is all dressed up. Look at Yinu, the clothes that Yue Mei Ren wears are really good. It fits and looks good."

I smiled, and I corrected the pair of long hairpins on my head again, and said to Zhilan who was standing by: "It's almost time."

Then he looked out of the lowered silk curtain: "Where is Linglong?"

Zhilan opened the curtain, and the nurse just walked in, with Linglong who had just woke up in her arms, wearing the apron that I embroidered for her before, which happened to match the color of my clothes.

With a warm smile in my eyes, I stretched out my hand to hug her, teased her little face with my nose, Linglong laughed again.

I sent her back to the nurse's hand, looked at the sky outside, and said to Zhilan and the others: "It's almost time, let's go."

The sky today is really good, the sky is extremely blue, and there are dense white clouds on the horizon. There were already bright colors on the Qifeng Platform in the distance, light and shadow flowing, and the jewels of various colors shot out dazzling light under the sunlight.

I stopped by a willow tree by the lake, and gently stroked the dark green willow leaves. From here, the Qifeng platform was full of rich colors. When I turned my head, Haoyue was following the two maids. Come down far away.

The dress with tender pink and painted lotus highlights every advantage of her delicate body and makes her look like a bright sky and a bright moon.

Haoyue saw me and was about to turn around and walk towards me. I shook my head slightly and chuckled at her. Haoyue hesitated and gave a gentle salute. I nodded and motioned her to go to Qifeng Terrace.

In my heart, I was worried that if others saw this scene, they would naturally think of the traces of my arrangements in the future, so I let Haoyue go first.

When I watched that the clothes and temples on the Qifeng Terrace were almost gathered, I clapped my hands, removed the debris of the willow leaves stained on it, and walked slowly towards the Qifeng Terrace.

Before Shen Xiyao arrived, I stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at it quietly. The concubines gathered together to chat about something, and vaguely heard the name of Concubine Liu.

I smiled in my heart and nodded to the **** outside the door. The little **** immediately shouted: "The queen empress is here."

There was silence inside, and the concubines knelt down one after another with the voice of "Xisuo".

"See Empress Empress."

There was a gentle smile on my face: "Sisters, get up. This is for family banquets without being so formal."

After saying that, holding Zhilan's hand on the golden back seat of the golden flying phoenix, the nurse stood beside me holding Linglong, and lowered her body to let me coax Linglong inside.

I coaxed for a long time, and Linglong went to sleep. Two moments had passed since the set time, but I still didn't see Shen Xiyao.

I was a little worried, worried that something would go wrong.

At this time, Zhilan quietly walked to my side and whispered to me in my ear: "Niang, Concubine Liu fainted, and the emperor went to see her."

My hands tightened, but my face didn't care. In an ear room where the nursing mother hugs Linglong to one side, a small bed has been arranged for Linglong to sleep.

I looked at the concubines who had begun to talk quietly below, and my expression became sharp.

"Manny, do you want to invite the emperor as a slave girl. It's already over." Hui Ju asked me in a low voice.

I didn’t look at her, but said to Zhilan next to me: "Zhilan, you go to Zhaoyang Palace to see if Concubine Liu's condition is better. Tell the emperor that Concubine Liu doesn’t need to come here if you are worried. That's it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhilan's eyes, but she nodded and went down with a vague smile.

I picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. With a bang, the tea bowl was placed on the boxwood table beside me, and the concubines below became quiet.

I slowly said: "The emperor is worried about Concubine Liu's body going to be late for a while, sisters please do it yourself."

After all she got up and walked into the side hall where Linglong was asleep.

Only Hui Ju was by my side, and the nurse had let her out. I shook the little bed, slept soundly, Hui Ju slapped me with a fan.

I haven't spoken, Hui Ju couldn't help it anymore: "Manny, why didn't you let the slave and maid just ask the emperor? Instead, you asked Aunt Zhilan to tell the emperor that you don't have to come."

She pouted and looked at me, I laughed, humming a song that sang the child to sleep and ignored her. Seeing me like this, Hui Ju had no choice but to stop and continue to fan.

I just kept shaking the crib, and soon Zhilan came in, and I motioned to her softly.

Zhilan whispered: "Manny, there is nothing with Empress Liu, the emperor said that she missed the little princess with a heart disease."

I hummed, keeping my eyes away. Yes, she has a heart disease, but she is the only one who knows what it is. But it's definitely not because I miss Linglong.

But, would Shen Xiyao think of it?

I nodded and stood up: "Then let's go out, it's time to have a banquet." Only after I walked to the side hall door, Zhilan's usual gentle voice came from behind: "Manny, the emperor will be right away with Concubine Liu. coming."

My heart was shocked, she turned over really quickly, and Shen Xiyao's heart was so soft to her.

I said yesterday that I saw her clearly, but today I forgave her because of her fainting.

Slightly sad, but still cheered up and walked out.

Because of the arrival of Shen Xiyao, all the concubines outside had already got up. Shen Xiyao was sitting on the top. There was a mahogany chair at the bottom left of his Chijin Dragon Chair, on which was the brightly dressed Concubine Liu.

My heart was twitching, my face couldn't squeeze the slightest smile anyway, and the pace stopped, but fortunately, no one was spotted behind.

I just stood there quietly, and the wet nurses who followed stopped too.

I fixed my eyes on the calm face of Shen Xiyao on the top of the seat, and the humble and gentle but proud Concubine Liu, as well as the greedy smiling faces below, I closed my eyes and did not want to look.

Concubine Liu turned her head to say something to Shen Xiyao occasionally, and he responded with a smile. I saw inexplicable displeasure in my eyes. Looking at the concubines below, Li Fei's face was displeased, which was just in contrast to He Fei's calm and self-assured expression. An Bin's expression was very complicated, happy, but also unhappy.

I smiled. Although Concubine Liu had a good friendship with her, she also had quarrels with some other concubines. Now Concubine Liu has turned over and she has a backer again. Of course, she is the emperor's concubine. Concubine Liu has fallen. She also lost one opponent.

I looked for Haoyue's figure in the crowd, and happened to meet the look in her eyes, which was unwilling and angry. I smiled at her, my heart settled, and walked out slowly with a smile on my face.

"Concubines see the emperor." I bowed to Shen Xiyao but didn't walk up. Shen Xiyao walked down and helped me. I gave him a very bright smile, and all the concubines bowed down.

I glanced at Concubine Liu who was behind Shen Xiyao, she also bent slightly, and I stepped forward to hold her: "My sister has just finished her confinement and fainted before, so this vain gift will be eliminated."

Concubine Liu looked at me and smiled, she was really feminine and charming, but I knew her smile was not for me, but for Shen Xiyao behind me. But Concubine Liu made a wrong response. She really stood up and refused to salute me, and I laughed in my heart.

I know that with her hatred for me and her own nobility, as long as she has the opportunity, she would not salute me. She hasn't been sharpened by this deep palace yet, of course this has a lot to do with Shen Xiyao.

I turned around and smiled at Shen Xiyao, his face a little ugly.

I smiled and said, "Since the emperor is here, let's have a banquet."

Concubine Liu saw Shen Xiyao’s eyes and reacted, stretched out her hand to hug Linglong, but she wore a long armor, the exquisite baby was very thin in summer, and it was the first time she hugged a child. The baby had a soft body. She couldn't get used to it yet, somehow she woke up Linglong who was sleeping, and burst into tears.
