The number of palaces and pavilions in the Imperial City's harem is not small, and it can be regarded as the inheritance of the previous generation. Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been a palace or a pavilion added to the palace. As for Qionglin Garden, it was also for reviewing the Jinmingchi Navy.
Yilan Hall was the newly built dormitory hall for Concubine Guo Ning when she entered the palace, and was named by the emperor. In the night, the palace candles are bright and colorful satins are hung everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
Liu Chengyou strolled over with no trace of alcohol on his face. He didn't want to drink more at the end of the night, and no one dared to persuade him. Entering the Yilan Palace, the palace attendants exited one after another.
When there are only one man and one woman waiting in the room, the atmosphere naturally becomes ambiguous...
Liu Chengyou turned sideways and looked at Guo Ning. The eighteen-year-old girl was full of youthfulness and was wearing a wedding dress, which made her even more beautiful. Guo Ning's appearance is not the kind that would captivate a country, but it can still be described as beautiful, perhaps due to the influence of Guo Wei's genes. The complexion is not too fair, but looks healthy. The breasts can be held in one hand, but at this age, they are already well developed...
How could the young lady endure Liu Chengyou's wolf-like scrutiny? She lowered her head involuntarily, her tender face flushed, and shyly whispered: "Official!"
"I still remember that when I met you in the Guo Mansion, you were still a little girl with yellow hair, and now you have grown up and become my princess!" Liu Chengyou said with emotion: "The scene back then is still vaguely in my mind!"
Hearing what Liu Chengyou said, Guo Ning barely suppressed the shame in her heart and raised her head to look at Liu Chengyou. This was the first time she looked directly at Liu Chengyou tonight. Looking at his face, she couldn't help but said: "The official family is better than before. , but there hasn’t been much change, just..."
"What is it?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"I just have more beards!" Guo Ning said.
Hearing this, he subconsciously touched his lips, and then laughed. The young lady is indeed lovely. She turned her eyes and asked with a hint of teasing, "Do you know what we should do tonight?"
"Ah -" Guo Ning seemed to have remembered something when he heard this. He shyly looked away and glanced at Liu Chengyou cautiously. Finally, he blushed and nodded.
This performance made Liu Chengyou more energetic and gave him a sense of novelty. Get up, stand in front of the young lady, spread your hands, and then there is no need for him to take the initiative... Sometimes, even if you are inexperienced, you can be clumsy.
While Liu Chengyou and his concubine Ning were having a night together, the palace lanterns in Kunming Palace were still on, and the dim light seemed to reflect the loneliness of the deep palace.
Empress Fu sat aside and looked after King Ru Wei who was not yet one year old with a kind face. Her mood was stable and her voice was soft: "It's so late, please go back to the palace to rest early!"
Sitting next to her was Concubine Hui's little talisman. Her delicate face showed a little grievance and unwillingness. Hearing that the big talisman seemed to be chasing away guests, she couldn't help but say: "Sister, there are so many people in the palace now." Aren't you in a bit of a hurry to marry Concubine Guo Ning?"
Seeing her unwillingness, Dafu finally turned his head and asked, "What should I do? Show jealousy and fight for favor, and oppose the official's acceptance of her?"
"Do you know what the consequences of that will be? It will not only harm the official family, but also offend the Guo family..." Da Fu sighed, feeling sentimental in his grace. Liu Chengyou accepted Guo Ning, and it would be unrealistic to say that Queen Da Fu had no ideas.
Hearing Da Fu's words, Xiao Fu frowned slightly, trying to explain: "I'm not jealous, I'm worried about you, sister, and the Fu family!"
After seeing Fu, he always had a calm expression. Xiao Fu simply said: "Sister, you don't understand the situation in this palace. Although you are the queen and I am Hui Fei, the official family has no respect for the Gao family and the Zhe family. Your favor has never diminished. Their two families have always been very popular in the outer court, especially Concubine Gao, who has always competed with you for your favor.
Among the officials, Liu Xi was born to the Gao family, Liu Fang and Liu Yun were born to the Zhe family, and now she is pregnant with the emperor's eldest son, the Geng family. Although the official family gave him Yu Ruyi, he never established the crown prince. "
Looking at King Ru Wei who was still under the care of the queen, Concubine Hui continued: "Last year, I adopted Liu Min with King Wei again. This is so unfair to you..."
"That's enough!" Seeing that Xiao Fu's words became more and more explicit, Da Fu couldn't help but stop her, took a deep breath, and looked at her with authority: "Seeing how full of resentment you are, I'm not in a hurry, so why should you? Are you so unfair to me? You shouldn’t say these words! If word gets out, do you know what impact it will have? "
"Sister!" After being scolded by Empress Fu, Xiao Fu's face finally lost some traces of resentment. She bit her red lips and said in a low voice: "There were originally two families, the Gao family and the Zhe family, in the palace, but now Add the Guo family. You are not unaware of the influence of the Guo family in the court. It is more powerful than Gao and Zhe. If Concubine Guo Ning also gives birth to a son and a half, I am afraid that it will really threaten you. status..."
After listening to Xiao Fu's words, Fu Hou's eyebrows were locked tightly together, and she looked at her sister with a serious look. She was really confused in her heart. How could she, who is usually a smart person, involve the emperor and compete for favor? So impetuous.
Maybe Big Fu seemed too calm, but under his gaze, Little Fu couldn't help but lower his head with a guilty conscience, and gradually became calmer. Looking at her, Dafu suddenly asked: "In your opinion, how can I eliminate the threat and stabilize my position?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment: "This..."
I really asked her to come up with a practical solution, but she couldn't come up with it for a moment. She hesitated for a while and whispered: "We should find a way to make Liu Yang the crown prince!"
Upon hearing this, Da Fu immediately shook his head indifferently, and said in a harsh tone to Xiao Fu: "The matter of establishing a crown prince involves the country, the country, the country, and the inheritance of the emperor's inheritance. How can we, a woman from the palace, interfere? Officials have always had their own opinions. How can we be manipulated by others? Let me tell you, if we waste words and play tricks on this matter, it will only arouse the disgust and suspicion of the officials!"
"You have been in the palace for a few years! You have served the official family for so long and you have given birth to a child. Why do you still not understand the official's temperament at all?" Staring at Xiao Fu, Da Fu had a feeling of anger in his tone. He said solemnly: "Have you ever thought about why the official family accepts Guo Ning? Have you ever thought about why the official family favors noble concubines and virtuous concubines more and more?"
"Their family is powerful, win over them!" Xiao Fu said.
Da Fu smiled peacefully and said: "Winning over is one of the reasons, and it is also the reason to check and balance the Fu family!"
"In recent years, King Linqing died of illness, and Duke Dai was also seriously ill. The Gao and Zhe families declined in power in the court, and the Zhe family only had some fame in the northwest. In comparison, the Fu family, as a descendant, became more and more famous. Prominent. What do you think the officials will think?"
After hearing what her sister said, little Fu Yurong finally became a little more serious.
"Listen to my advice. In the future, you should be less competitive and calm. Just serve the officials and raise your children. It is already arduous for the officials to govern the country. We can no longer cause trouble to them in the harem and disturb their minds! In this way, officials The favor of the family will not be lacking. Also, although we are from the Fu family, when we enter the palace, we will be the concubines and people from the Liu family. From now on, we should not always talk about the Fu family. That way, it will be easy to follow the truth. ! Whatever you say here tonight, you are not allowed to say it again in the future!" Dafu warned again.
"Yes!" Xiao Fu finally lowered his head.
"Go back! It's time for me to go to bed!" Dafu waved his hand.
"Sister resigned!"
After Xiao Fuyu looked aggrieved, twisted his delicate body, and left with elegant steps, Dafu sighed heavily. Waves appeared in his eyes, and his emotions were a bit complicated. After a long time, he regained his composure.
I have been with Liu Chengyou for many years, and I know him quite well. She always felt that Liu Chengyou's favor and favor to the Guo family since Guo Wei returned to the throne was a bit too much. Now that he accepted Guo Ning, she, the queen, actually felt wary in her heart. How could Liu Chengyou not notice the difference? OK?
She felt that Liu Chengyou should take follow-up actions, but she couldn't guess what he would do. If you say you want to deal with the Guo family, this kind of kindness does not seem to be fake...
