On one hundred ways of acting like a baby

On the second day of Xuanbei's return to Beijing, Imperial Concubine Ying invited Xuanbei to Rumeng Pavilion for dinner.

At dusk on the western mountain, Concubine Ying sat upright in a daze, staring absently at the aging face in the bronze mirror.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to think too much." The caring maid said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows about your general reputation. It is rare for you to take the initiative to invite the King to Rumeng Pavilion once, and you will surely get your wish."

Concubine Ying flattened the corners of her mouth, and gave a false smile, "Tell me, is it more likable if you don't know the general idea?"

As soon as the maid's heart moved, she knew what the imperial concubine meant.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" The maid leaned forward and squeezed her shoulders, "That kid has no name and no distinction, so what if he was favored for a while? Maybe what the king was thinking. Hua Shanna was also favored back then. For a while, it’s not that no one cares about it now.”

"She is pregnant anyway." Concubine Ying's eyebrows drooped.

"If it hadn't been for her, Huashanna, who was playing with cats in Chunxi Garden and bumped into you, you would have a three-year-old little Highness by now." The maid curled her lips angrily, "How could your mother give birth to her safely and soundly?" Dragon son?"

"Be careful what you say." Ying Guifei stopped.

"Can--"

"When you have nowhere to go, you have the intention to harm others. Now the king's mind is not in the harem, and Hua Shanna's pregnancy is not in line with the dragon's heart. Why should I care? If you talk like this casually, if someone catches you, it's really hard to argue." Baby The imperial concubine answered calmly.

offspring.Did Xuanbei ever want an heir?

At the beginning, she lost a son, and Hua Shanna, who entered the palace for only a few months, was only confined for three months.Such a light punishment once chilled her heart.When it comes to Huashanna's pregnancy, is Xuanbei happy or meaningless?

Adding another Yu Zijin by his side probably doesn't pay attention to these lonely women in the harem at all?

Men, all of them are ruthless, like the new and dislike the old.

The more powerful it is, the more so it is.

Concubine Ying and her in the mirror flirted with each other, and became confused for a moment: You are no longer a little girl who has not left the court, how can you still have a half-cool heart for so long?The number of women in the palace increases one by one, and she attends bedtime again and again, why can't you erase Xuanbei from your heart?

A little father-in-law reported to Xuanbei that he would have dinner in another hour.

"Your Majesty!" The maid was much more excited than she was, and she said joyfully, "Slave maid, will you comb and comb your hair for your empress? Do you want to change your clothes? This body is too plain."

"Husband and wife for many years, why bother to dress up?" Concubine Ying thought she was indifferent, but she turned her head and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised at some point, showing a sincere smile.

She froze for a moment, then smiled again.

I don't know whether I should laugh at myself as a dead man without repentance, a little favor can make her continue the broken love.

Concubine Ying carefully painted her eyebrows and lips again, bit by bit decorating her pale face into an elegant and solemn one.Only the drooping bag under the eyes is difficult to get rid of, which is the iron evidence that she has been worrying about Xuanbei's safety for a month and has been unable to sleep.

An hour later, Xuanbei arrived as promised.alone.

When Concubine Ying sent the letter, she said: "You and I rarely get together. I am concerned about your safety. Even if I know that you have returned safely, I still can't let go. I always hope to see you in person."Besides, there are a lot of trifles in the harem these days, and there are two or three that are worth deciding by yourself.If you are free today, it is better to come to Rumeng Pavilion for a meal once in a while.

This letter put aside the identities of the emperor and the noble concubine, and only conveyed the love of husband and wife, with a slightly playful meaning, but in fact it did not quite fit the temperament of the noble concubine.However, those who are wives and concubines can't help their temperament, most of them change according to their husband's family preferences.This has been the case since ancient times.

And Xuanbei is here after all.

The noble concubine secretly judged that she was willing to come this time, which showed that Xuanbei had no affection for her.

"I also said that you are busy, so maybe you won't be able to come this time." She smiled lightly, today she made up her mind to temporarily abandon her identity and become a rebellious little girl.

Xuanbei gave her a meaningful look, "Your words are sincere, every word is sincere, why don't I come?"

I?

I!

This word almost made Concubine Ying's eyes shine.

Is this Xuan Bei's response to her?Also lowered his posture towards her?

The imperial concubine's lips parted and closed slightly, and she was speechless for a while.Staring at Xuanbei without blinking for a long time, he said softly, "I miss this situation for a long time."

Xuanbei remained silent, on and off the table.

The maid is quick-eyed and caring, and eagerly greets the dishes with delicacies, and serves them with a smile on her side.

At this time, the situation was so good that it was almost hard for Concubine Ying to talk about Hua Shanna's pregnancy with the Queen Mother.

However, she still opened her mouth to break the quiet atmosphere, "A month ago, the imperial physician confirmed that Huashanna was five or six months pregnant. But she was not very sick, her body was thin, and in winter, she was wearing thick clothes all day long. So even she herself didn't realize that she was pregnant."

This is a lie.

How could Huashanna not know she was pregnant?She was just trying her best to hide and conceal it for a while, fearing that the child in her womb would die before Xuanbei returned.Especially afraid that her baby will be murdered secretly.

Concubine Ying continued to say against her will: "The royal heirs are rare, it would be a great fortune to have a son this time."

"Indeed." Xuan Bei echoed, his tone lukewarm.

Concubine Ying couldn't figure out his sincerity and hypocrisy, and bored bubbles appeared in her chest.She calmly put a piece of meat in the Xuanbei bowl, and said: "If you care about it, why don't you go and have a look today. Huashanna has a temperament of being happy and tired of being quiet. I don't see you coming back."

"No need." Xuanbei flatly refused: "With you in charge, I don't need to worry about the harem."

Is this to praise her for her meticulous work?

Or refuse to visit Huashanna?

Or... ridiculed that she is generous and decent, even if she is so kind to her enemies?

The more you pay attention, the more fascinated you are, the more you can't see clearly.

Concubine Ying, good or bad, is all in this sad and sad picture, turning over and over again, neither daring to seek the best possible, nor the worst of the truth.She changed the subject and said, "Recently, the Empress Dowager always refuses Chenhun Dingxing because she is ill. But there is no news of the imperial doctor treating her, nor does the old man come out and walk around. Maybe the old man is too lazy to move in his old age, but staying in the palace every day will hurt his body."

It took a long time to come to Xuanbei to respond, which shows that Xuanbei is somewhat concerned about this matter, but he is unwilling to take it seriously.

"There is still the matter of the draft..." Concubine Ying hesitated to speak.

In the past three years, the palace has not held an audition on the grounds of keeping filial piety, and this year it cannot be avoided no matter what.In fact, it's okay for her not to mention it, and most likely Xuanbei doesn't care about it.It's just that Imperial Concubine Ying also has selfish intentions, and she can't help but worry about Yu Zijin.

Xuanbei has been fond of Yu Zijin for five or six months, and this time is not short, but he has never seen the energy, on the contrary, it is getting stronger every day.This is a big deal, and it's time to end it.Therefore, Concubine Ying would rather choose some newcomers to share her favor with, rather than seeing Yu Zijin monopolize Xuanbei's heart again.

Xuanbei is an emperor, one person has thousands of beauties, how can he tie his joys, anger, sorrows and joys to one person?

This is false consciousness.

In the past, everyone couldn't get Xuanbei's sincere love, everyone was equal.This is no longer the case at all.

This is the grievance and resentment hidden deep in my heart.

Concubine Ying made up her mind and continued to persuade: "There may be too few concubines because of the lack of heirs. Taking advantage of this time to pick some young and lively beauties, the palace can also add some anger, which is beneficial and harmless .”

"Concubine Ying." Xuanbei said suddenly.This sentence, Yingguifeishengsheng, brought the two of them back to the high and low positions, such a clear boundary could not allow any personal affection.

Concubine Ying's mind flickered, and she raised her eyebrows docilely, "Is the concubine troublesome?"

Xuanbei put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Are you going to become a queen?"

Concubine Ying looked up in surprise.

Are you going to be a queen?

What does it mean?

Concubine Ying's heart was thumping, she couldn't believe how this night could be so good.Xuanbei actually asked her if she wanted to become a queen?

"You are beautiful and intelligent, presiding over everything big and small, and your conduct is impeccable." Xuanbei said, "If you want to, I can make you my queen."

Empress.

After one emperor, the harem is truly the master of the family.

Concubine Ying is not someone who will be dazzled by fame and fortune, what she cares about is another matter.

She raised her eyes carefully and looked directly at Xuanbei, trying to look deeply into his heart, to see what this man was planning?Did you suddenly remember all the benefits of her?Did you realize that it was time to appease her after she had been wronged for so many years?

But not like this.

When Imperial Concubine Ying turned her soft thoughts into threads and tried to wrap Xuanbei's heart, she suddenly realized in those bottomless eyes.

no.

As long as there is love, the eyes cannot be hidden.

In Xuanbei's eyes, there is not even an iota of friendship, he is so superior, as if talking about court affairs, he said to her in a business-like manner: You are beautiful and intelligent, you preside over everything big and small, and your conduct is impeccable.You can succeed.

Concubine Ying let go of her hand, and the bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty...what does this mean?" She asked in a trembling voice, knowing in her heart that she did not expect an answer.

"There is no need for a draft." Xuanbei said mercilessly: "In the future, I will no longer favor the women in the harem."

A bang sounded in Lei's heart.

"Your Majesty is joking?" Concubine Ying pulled out a forced smile, "I have never heard of the absurdity of the abandoned harem, I am afraid that this joke will not be heard by my concubine."

"Whenever you change your mind, it's time to come back to seek loneliness." Xuanbei gave her another meaningful look.

A meaningful look when you come, and another meaningful look when you leave.The dense, sour, and dense emotions are churning like boiling water. The imperial concubine Ying had this idea when she wondered whether Xuanbei came?

He didn't come to see her well at all!

He had seen all of Yu Zijin's good looks, and he would never reflect anyone else in his cold eyes.This trip was to break up with her, as if he wanted to talk nicely to break up the decades-long relationship between husband and wife.

In an instant, the sky is spinning.

The imperial concubine tightly clenched her fists and pinched the corner of her clothes, and asked, "But because of Yu Erlang?"

She wanted to ask Yu Zijin if he was that good?Is it the best in the world?She tried her best to cover his heart but couldn't cover his heart. Even this labor is not worth it, is it?

Yingzhen felt like a joke.

Thanks to her beauty, she thought Xuan Bei would change her mind, but she never expected that this would be a farewell.

"It's not him, there are others." Xuanbei stood up and said calmly: "It's getting late, so I don't want to stay alone. The noble concubine should go to bed earlier."

His careless words were like a punch on the forehead, and the pain made her eyes messed up.

"You really—"

"Really?"

Yingzhen pressed the table and forced herself to stand up, raised her voice, and her usually soft and round voice suddenly became thinner.

"The relationship between you and me was over ten years ago."

Xuanbei left a sentence and left without looking back.

The love between husband and wife is over.

Husband and wife love is over?

Yingzhen took a few steps back again and again, her legs hit the stool and she overturned and fell to the ground.

She pushed away the maid who came to help her, and said softly: "Get back."

The caring maid turned her head three times and left anxiously.

Only then did Yingzhen slowly cover her face with both hands, and cry silently with all her strength.
