Concubine in the palace, the most common is favor and fall from favor. Liu Hui is very smart, she has never been favored, and has never fallen out of favor.

She is more like a female official in the palace. She is the smartest and wisest person, and the person who can walk the farthest with Ling Chen.

Ling Chen's life is so wonderful, he wants so much, they can't control it. Lan Ling thought of herself, always wanted Ling Chen's love, but she was always scarred, even to the point where she was incomplete.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, zongzi, eggs and realgar wine were distributed in each palace.

The palace did not entertain the minister, but the emperor accompanied the concubines in the harem for dinner.

Lan Ling did not participate. Yang Shu came over and invited her once, and she didn't get past her excuse that she was unwell.

Lan Ling cooks in the small kitchen by herself, and she hasn't cooked for a long time. All he cooked was vegetarian, and Xiao Guizi went under the jujube tree to dig out a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine made last fall.

Jixiang frowned and sighed while cleaning the table.

"What's wrong with you?" Lan Ling asked.

Jixiang looked at Lan Ling, and said for a while: "Niangniang, the slave and maid have been holding back a few words for a long time, please don't blame the mistress for something wrong."

"Go ahead." Lan Ling was pouring the sweet-scented osmanthus wine into everyone's cups.

Ji Jixiang said: "Manny, you are the queen now, why don't you go over the dinner in the palace? Now in everyone's hearts, the queen's seat seems to be Concubine Hui. The emperor treats you very well, why can't you bow your head and face the emperor Show good. Do you know that life in this palace is good or bad based on a word from the emperor."

Lan Ling smiled, she understood Jixiang's worry.

"Let's go together, don't distinguish between superior and inferior, let's have fun together." Lan Ling took a sip of wine from the glass.

"Auspicious, I may be different from others. I just want to get the emperor's true love, so I can share the rest with others so that I can balance."

Jixiang said: "But the empress can obviously have the grace of the emperor, and can also control the harem."

"This is the palace after all, he is the emperor. If the emperor pets one person alone, it will definitely affect the previous court." Lan Ling said slowly.

Jixiang knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant girl understands, it is the servant girl who has short-sightedness and thinks too little, please forgive the servant girl."

Lan Ling pulled her up: "You are also for my good. I just want to live a simple life. If I now have the duties of Concubine Hui, how can I be so comfortable? Wouldn't it be better for us to get what we need? Come on, let's get drunk today."

Ji Jixiang said: "The slave maid grandmother once said that there is a kind of woman who, even when she is eighty years old, has always been a girl's heart, the most affectionate, simple and cute, and she is talking about the temperament of a maid. The slave only understands today."

Lan Ling smiled, "This is just an excuse for my incompetence. I have no ability to do what I like and satisfy everyone. That's all!"

Everyone drank happily, and it's been a long time in Wangyou Palace.

On the second day, Liu Hui arrived at Wangshou Palace.

"Queen Niangniang, these are the items to be purchased for the emperor's birthday banquet. Take a look at what else the Queen Niangniang has to prepare?" Liu Hui asked.

Lan Ling glanced: "The emperor asked you to host his birthday banquet, so you don't have to ask me."

Liu Hui said, "It used to be because the empress was in poor health, but now the empress has recovered and the concubines should also be handed over."

Lan Ling smiled and said: "It's the emperor, not me, who let you preside over the harem. You don't need to tell me this. Besides, you manage the harem very well. At least better than me. Don't worry, I really don't care about this." Lan Ling reached out and shook Liu Hui's hand.

"You know, I'm not good at handling these trivial things. Moreover, I don't like it myself. You can share the worries for the emperor and let me rest at ease. I really appreciate you." Lan Ling said sincerely to Liu Hui .

She and Liu Hui have no big holidays. There was a misunderstanding about Liu Hui's child having a tyre, and the two did not have a close friendship after the misunderstanding was resolved. Liu Hui doesn't have deep contacts with anyone. She is a very smart woman.

Lan Ling respected her very much. Liu Hui also knew that Lan Ling was much simpler than Wen Heng and Guan Yue. Although in the harem, there can never be true love.

Ling Chen’s birthday party is more lively than the Dragon Boat Festival. A lot of people came to the party. Except for Bai Shaoting and Jiang Rui in Dayue State and Daxia State respectively, the other court officials have basically arrived.

Just after midday, Jixiang was anxious to put makeup on Lan Ling. Lan Ling smiled and said, "Although I attended the banquet today, my makeup doesn't need to be too gorgeous."

Ling Chen had never been to Wangyou Palace since he came back last time. Lan Ling knew he was angry.

The child in Wen Heng's belly is not his. Although he and Fan Xing have inexplicable grievances, this kind of thing is indeed unable to tell the arrogant Ling Chen, not to mention that he is the emperor. That's why he talked about her and Ling Feng without a word.

But he silently accepted Xiao Yan as a concubine, is it also politics?

Lan Ling also had a faint thorn in his heart.

She put on a red silk brocade dress today. Lan Ling rarely wears such gorgeous clothes.

The fair skin makes the lips red and white and the teeth are extremely beautiful. She is a queen, but her age is the youngest among the harem concubines, although her state of mind has gone through vicissitudes of life.

The weather in May is red and willow green. Flowers are pretty.

Ling Shuang came here early.

"Sister-in-law Ling, you are so beautiful! Not seeing you for so many days, you are even more charming!" Ling Shuang looked up and down Lan Ling, extremely envious. .

Lan Ling said: "You are beautiful, I am old."

Ling Shuang was wearing a lake-green dress, charming and charming.

"About Jiang Rui, your emperor brother has actually agreed. He just wants Jiang Rui to make a contribution to be qualified to marry you. That's what Jiang Rui meant." Lan Ling held Ling Shuang's hand.

Ling Shuang blushed, "I understand. Jiang Rui told me."

The two arrived at Mingguang Hall arm in arm.

Ling Chen and the ministers have arrived.

He was sitting there, whispering something to Liu Hui.

The servant sings: "The queen is here!"

Everyone got up to salute.

Seeing Ling Chen glance at her, Lan Ling turned his face to the side again.

Lan Ling walked to him and sat down.

On her right side was Dou Wan'er. The woman who tried every means to marry Ling Chen, but was killed by Ling Chen's father and brother.

She was as quiet as water, with a faint smile on her face. What kind of mood does this exotic woman feel at this time?

I heard that when she first came back from the Great Moon Kingdom, she didn't see anyone, and she went on a hunger strike. Have you figured it out now?

Below Dou Wan'er, sat a strange woman with fair skin and bright eyes like stars. Lan Ling understood that it must be Xinna's and Feixiao Yangui.

Ling Chen only talked to Concubine Hui on his left, and talked with all the ministers.

He is still angry. Lan Ling wanted to be angry when he saw how cold he was towards her, remembering that it was his birthday today, so he endured it.

Although he ignored her, he served her with vegetables. Silently filled her with plates.

He is dressed in bright yellow brocade, with a smile in his slender eyes, and he looks in a good mood.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone stood up and respected the emperor for a long and long life.

He held the cup high and received everyone's blessings, laughing so loudly.

Although there are wars, the people have not been harmed by these wars, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment.

There are flowers blooming outside, and the Mingguang Hall is a lot of warmth.

Lan Ling stood beside him, smelling the faint smell of Qingtan, suddenly tilted his head and glanced at him.

The man standing next to him has a handsome face, his eyes are like stars, his nose is tall, his brows are like swords, and his bright yellow robe is graceful and luxurious.

This man turned out to be my man. Lan Ling looked at him, kind and strange.

Everyone scrambled to toast the emperor, but Dou Wan'er raised her wine glass and said loudly to Lan Ling: "The empress, Niang Niang, I heard that Niang Niang's father was also killed by the emperor. I don't know how the empress can face the emperor with such affection? I want to learn."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of those who heard it changed.
