Hong Xi knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled ferociously: "Isn't Jiang Baolin from the side hall Zhen Ronghua's sister-in-law? How can I not congratulate my sister on her promotion?"
After the emperor's award, all the palaces sent congratulatory gifts, and even the Queen and Concubine Li also sent generous gifts.
Concubine Li's congratulatory gift also included a pot of epiphyllum.
Magpie and Shuangjiang secretly looked at their mother-in-law's face and saw that she was not unhappy, so they dared to carefully pick up the flower pot and prepare to throw it into the warehouse.
Concubine Li was so good at dealing with people that she actually used flowers to mock her mother-in-law's love, which was like a flash in the pan and not worthy of anyone's attention.
Jiang Xinyue stopped Shuangsheng: "It would be a pity to leave such beautiful flowers."
She pointed to the sunny window: "Put it there! If it blooms at night, I can enjoy the flowers with the emperor, which is a good thing."
She never used flowers to describe herself as short-lived and gone, so she didn't take it to heart if anyone used flowers to mock her.
Human beings are human beings, how can they be compared to dead things?
The Hall of Cultivation——
"You mean... Concubine Li gave Zhen Ronghua a pot of epiphyllum?"
Wang Dequan nodded: "It was sent directly from Sizhenfang. The flower farmers in Sizhenfang just cultivated a new variety this year called Youtan. It is said that it only blooms for an hour at night."
Precious, but too short-lived.
Emperor Xuanwu was correcting the memorial, and made a big cross on the memorial with red strokes: "Then you send all the epiphyllums in Sizhen's room to Xihe Hall. One epiphyllum is not enough to see, and the room is full of epiphyllums in full bloom. , Only then can you be worthy of my precious beauty.”
Even the fleeting beauty, a sea of ephemeral flowers, is a grand scene that can stay in the hearts of people forever.
After Empress Zhu heard about it, she laughed again.
The emperor treats Zhen Ronghua as a plaything. I wonder if Zhen Ronghua can bear such a favor?
If you really love someone, you will protect them well. Instead of making her a target and the object of everyone's jealousy.
The beauty is nothing to worry about.
After spending nearly two days without makeup with the emperor, Jiang Xinyue looked bright and dazzling tonight.
She wore a four-color foundation dress with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, a gauze dress as thin as cicada wings, and a pair of flowerpot-soled shoes of the same color as the dress. She looked graceful and graceful.
Her hair is combed into an upturned bun, with bright flowers made of jadeite craftsmanship on the tip, and colorful tassels hanging on one side.
This look shocked Jiang Yutong who came after hearing the news and was speechless.
She had always known that Jiang Xinyue was beautiful, but she had never seen her dressed up: "You...you..."
"What do you want to do when your sister comes to my place?"
Jiang Xinyue, who was lying on the kang, looked at her sideways: "If you have nothing to do, go back quickly. The emperor will be here soon."
"Have you forgotten what your father said before entering the palace?"
Jiang Yutong glared at her: "You are just a concubine. When you are at home, you are my foil. Don't think that it will be any different after you enter the palace and get a little favor."
The palace lantern outside the house swayed three or two times, illuminating a few dark shadows a little more conspicuously. Jiang Yutong, who had his back to the door, naturally did not see them.
Jiang Xinyue would not let go of this opportunity to clear her name. She sat up from the kang and shed two drops of pearl tears: "Since I entered the palace, I have always remembered my father's teachings. When I first received the Holy Grace, you said that I must The Emperor gave it to you, so I deliberately angered the Imperial Concubine and gave you a chance to show your love for me and make the Emperor look at you with admiration. But instead of protecting me, you also added insult to injury. Now I have unexpectedly gained the Sacred Heart. What else do you want me to do?”
"You can try your old trick again. I will definitely not ignore you this time."
Jiang Yutong grabbed her arm anxiously: "Xinyue, I'm fed up with not being favored in this palace. Everyone can bully me. Please help me one last time. As long as I can get the emperor's favor, I’ll repay you, okay?”
"No! From now on, I will not push the emperor out again."
"Why?"
Jiang Yutong pulled and pushed forcefully and pushed Jiang Xinyue to the ground. His crazy actions scared Magpie and Shuangjiang to protect their master.
Questions were raised, but no one answered.
Through the half-closed window, I caught a glimpse of Zhen Ronghua sitting on the ground. Her hair, which had been meticulously combed into a bun, dropped a few strands to her ears. The tears falling from her eyes added three points of weakness and seven points to her beauty. Pitiful.
The pear blossoms and the rain are lovely.
She bit her lip, but looked at Jiang Baolin with firm stubbornness in her eyes.
After a while, Jiang Baolin burst out laughing: "You idiot, you fell in love with the emperor, and you are sincerely moved. Jiang Xinyue, do you know that this harem cannot tolerate a woman who is attracted to the emperor? You are so hopelessly stupid. The medicine is gone.”
Zhen Ronghua's lips were almost bleeding from biting them, and she said in a trembling voice: "My heart is moved by myself, and I have to hit the wall. Even if I fail completely in the end, I will never resent anyone. Once you have loved, you will No regrets.”
"So you won't help me?"
There was another moment of silence, and Jiang Baolin suddenly raised his hand and slapped it down.
"Snapped!"
The slaps resounded throughout the Xihe Hall, but Jiang Xinyue didn't feel any pain on her face.
She trembled and opened her eyes in fear, only to see an enlarged handsome face coming closer, lifting her up from the ground, and holding her in his arms distressedly.
And who was the one on the ground who was slapped so dizzy if it wasn't Jiang Yutong?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
The shock and emotion in Jiang Xinyue's eyes could not be greater: "You...when did you come?"
Her panic and confusion all proved that she had hidden her love for Emperor Xuanwu deeply in her heart, fearing that he would find out.
"As soon as I arrived, I saw Jiang Baolin and his subordinates attacking you."
The beauty in her arms was obviously relieved, and she was glad that her words of confession were not heard.
She hid in the emperor's arms and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you arrived in time. I am not injured. Let my sister go back! I don't want to see her."
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes showed a bit of anger: "Jiang Baolin disobeyed the emperor and was demoted to a prostitute and moved to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Sister, please save me...Sister, please save me!"
The eunuch who took Jiang Cainu out blocked her mouth, and the Xihe Palace returned to peace.
Zhen Ronghua held Emperor Xuanwu's dragon robe with her little hand and sobbed with lingering fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't be angry..."
It turned out that he was worried that he would be angry and the little fool would not take the opportunity to complain.
"I'm not angry. My beloved, please don't drop the little golden beans again."
The emperor wiped away the tears on her face with his fingers: "I asked you to be Zhen Ronghua to give you the capital to fight against others. Little Baolin can bully you, what do you want me to say about you? "
