On the first night when Ruyi returned to the palace, the emperor did not stay in her palace. But as usual, Shupin, who had been summoned to the new hexagram, made many people feel relieved. On the second day of Dings, Ruyi did not dare to neglect. She went to Changchun Palace early to see the queen. The queen gave a few instructions and asked her if she was accustomed to eating and living, and asked everyone to leave. Concubine Chun was naturally happy to see her. However, Concubine Jia and Concubine Hui were both indifferent to her and were not intimate. A Ruo even retreated to her and turned a blind eye to her.

Perhaps, this is also good.">_""

Three days after Ruyi left the cold palace, the emperor often went to see her, but she did not summon her luck and did not stay overnight, but others could not understand the favor. This day coincided with the beginning of winter, and the palace prepared a family banquet to eat dumplings. Except for the empress dowager who was afraid of the cold and refused to leave the Cining Palace, the palace was full of concubines.

The so-called family banquet was originally because the beginning of winter was when the autumn and winter were at the time of the marriage of autumn and winter. The concubines in the palace were bored for a long time, so they made dumplings by each palace to make a banquet to please the emperor. The emperor went to the suburbs of Beijing to inspect the farmland and mulberry trees. When he came back, he was happy to hear the queen talk about it, so he gave a banquet in Changchun Palace. The concubines were naturally unique. In addition to the ordinary vegetable filling and meat filling, they also made seafood filling and sauerkraut filling. The queen and Shupin were the most thoughtful, the queen's dumplings.

It is made of freshly picked cabbage leaves in winter, so that everyone in the capital is accustomed to stocking up cabbage in winter and eating thrifty and fresh. The emperor naturally praised this thought. And Shupin's dish forced the emperor to bite that bite, so spicy that the emperor burst into tears. He toasted a glass of wine and filled it with a smile. He said, "After eating such dumplings, the emperor will never forget me if he eats any dumplings in the future."

The emperor laughed unceasingly and said, "Empress, you look so pretentious, how is Concubine Hui in the past?"

The queen smiled gently, but said nothing. Concubine Hui was full of jealousy and said, "Don't the emperor just like Shupin's pretentious appearance? Why should I compare myself with me?"

When she arrived at Ruyi, she brought out a pot of vinegar and said with a smile: "I am not as good as my sisters' skills. If I can't make dumplings well, I specially made a pot of vinegar with red rose petals. I must eat dumplings without vinegar, so I will use it as a touch of embellishment."

The emperor's thin smile was extremely warm: "If I eat dumplings, I will definitely not be able to eat vinegar, otherwise I will not be able to eat it. Although your things are not the most important, they are the most indispensable ones."

The queen smiled and said, "Your embellishment is indispensable. Concubine Xian, no wonder the emperor is so concerned about you that he even wants to let you out in the cold palace."

Ruyi was neither humble nor arrogant, but she just smiled slightly: "With the Empress being caring day and night, the Emperor and the Empress being united, they are naturally also caring about their concubines." She turned her head and looked at the noble-looking Concubine Shen, who was dressed in a noble but depressed manner, and said, "A Ruo, you are the same, right?"

At this time, A Ruo was already the emperor's concubine, and Ruyi was still called by the old name, obviously she had never taken her seriously. A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Concubine Shen, and she resisted the attack, but just poured a cup of wine on her head.

The emperor looked at A Ruo and smiled happily, "Gui Shen should drink and enjoy his whole life. Ruyi was the old master of Shen. Ruyi escaped from grievances and finally let me know that she was not the one who plotted to murder Yipin and Meipin's heirs, and she was so upset that she was injustice.Gui Shen was Ruyi's old servant, and she should celebrate together."

The emperor called A Ruo "Gui Ren Shen" every word, and he called Ruyi only by his name, and his closeness and distantness had already been very obvious. A Ruo hated others the most about mentioning that she was Ruyi's old maid, and her face was red with embarrassment, holding the wine-opening hand and trembling gently. The emperor turned his mind and said with a smile: "To express the common sense of your master and servant, I plan to appoint you as Shenpin. What do you think?"

This sudden title of concubine is more surprising than Shupin's favor and outstanding background. Moreover, the position of concubine is the main position of the palace, with a noble status. There are already Meipin, Shupin and Jiapin in the palace. They either have children or have prominent family backgrounds and have been favored for many years. They are second only to Concubine Chun who raised two sons and Concubine Xian, who was a concubine in Qiandi, and the status is extremely valuable. In this way, even the queen changed color, and Jiapin couldn't help but say, "Does the emperor like Sister Shen so much? Sister Shen lives with me, wouldn't it be that there are two main positions in Qixiang Palace?"

The emperor raised the wine cup in his hand, and a handsome smile was placed on his lips. "Of course. If I don't like it, I wouldn't have personally won't give the title of "Shen" as Shenpin." Jiapin bit his lip and endured his resentment. The emperor's eyes turned, but he chuckled, "Just just like Jiapin's title, Jiapin means beautiful, and I also like it very much. Even if Shen Guiren has granted the title of concubine, you are the only one in Qixiang Palace."

Only then did Concubine Jia calm down her jealousy, but she gave A Ruo a deep glance. A Ruo should have been very happy when she received such a kind reward, but that happiness was also a loss of troops and generals. She had to stand up and salute in cold sweat: "I thank you for your kindness."

The queen was wearing a yellow dress of Tianshui, and a pair of coral pendants swayed in her ears. She smiled softly, saying, "The people who were just in charge of the room are here and are waiting outside. It seems that the emperor is going to accompany Shenpin tonight, so there is no need to turn over the sign."

The emperor shook the queen's hand and said, "Sure enough, the queen knows my intention."

The queen said gently to A Ruo: "Then Shenpin, you go back first and prepare to go to Yangxin Hall to sleep."

This sentence just rightly relieved A Ruo's embarrassment. She got up. Jiapin said she was going back to see the fourth prince and got up to say goodbye. Hailan was inconvenient to pregnancy, so Ruyi accompanied her back first, leaving only Shupin and Meipin to accompany her. The emperor was very comfortable.

Ruyi held Hailan and turned the long street, but saw Jiapin standing in front of Shenpin and sneered: "Don't think that if you have a concubine, you will be arrogant. There is only one main position in Qixiang Palace, which is the palace. Even if you are a concubine, there are differences in high and low status. You, Suo Choolun, are just from a small family. No matter how good you have in controlling water, you are just a servant under Concubine Hui's father, and a small prefect."

A Ruo held the maid's hand, but she didn't retreat at all. She just smiled and said, "Sister is the position of concubine, and I am also the position of concubine. I am younger than you, so naturally I should respect you as my sister. As for the rest, everyone is the emperor's concubine, just an ordinary person, who is nobler than who is more noble than who."

Jiapin was so angry that his expression changed drastically, but he also prided himself on his identity: "On the same level? Not to mention that I am the biological mother of the fourth son of the emperor, although Meipin came from the Nanfu and had given birth to children, his awards were higher than you. Not to mention Shupin, the daughter of Yehenara was personally chosen by the Empress Dowager to the emperor. If you want to be senior, I will naturally be the first among the concubines. Meipin and Shupin are again, you are just a last resort."

Li Xin, the maid of Jiapin, was also a clever man, and immediately said: "I haven't congratulated Concubine Shen for leaving the cold palace for your old master, Concubine Xian, and the emperor rewarded you as a concubine, and kept saying that you and Concubine Xian had a relationship with you. In fact, it was not right to think about it. Back then, you exposed that Concubine Xian poisoned Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi, but today the emperor said that Concubine Xian was wronged. According to my servants, this award of Concubine Xian was actually a slaughter."

A Ruo held the maid Xinyan's hand, and couldn't help but tremble all over. She reached out to Li Xin's cheek and clenched her hand. She was wearing a tortoiseshell armor in sterling silver. The palm was so strong that it left two blood marks on Li Xin's white and tender cheeks.

Lixin was a little scared. Even though her eyes were full of tears, she could cover her face and dare not speak. Ruyi looked at her coldly and smiled, "The wind is strong here, should I go back first?"

Hailan stroked her stomach and said, "For such a good-looking drama, I should watch more children in my belly. When I grow up, I won't suffer too much from others."

Ruyi was in a harsh manner for her. The two looked at each other and smiled, and stood still in the dark.

Jiapin looked at Lixin being beaten, but changed into a kind smile and said softly: "Oh, Mei Xiang is just a servant, why bother to beat her? Lixin, after all, she has become a little master, so you will be treated as a teacher, and learn how she has climbed the emperor's dragon bed day and night."

Li Xin covered her face and said, "I dare not secretly seduce the emperor with my master on my back, and I dare not betray my master and frame him. No matter how many slaps I get from Concubine Shen, I will not learn these despicable abilities."

Jiapin nodded and smiled repeatedly, and suddenly reached out to slap A Ruo. This palm was quickly and fiercely, beyond A Ruo's expectations, and she couldn't resist it. Jiapin smiled leisurely and contentedly: "This palm is to teach you how to learn your lessons, and the noble and inferior are in the hearts of the people. Don't think that if you get the position and the emperor's favor, others will forget how you used all your means to seduce the emperor, and even the slaves look down on you!"

The chuckling of Jiapin fell in the wind, which was particularly loud, and was surrounded by the palace people and swayed and left. A Ruo slowly stroked her cheeks and smiled as if she was self-deprecating: "Xinyan, look, everyone looks down on me. Even if I have been granted the title of concubine, in their eyes, I am just a slave, and I will never be a slave who can't get on the table."

Xinyan hurriedly supported her and said in a kind voice: "Don't take it to your heart. Jiapin just gave birth to a prince because she was born. She is just a tribute girl from a foreign race like a tribute. The little master is of pure Manchurian blood. If she gave birth to a child and a half of her daughter in the future, wouldn't she be more noble than her? Originally, you have not had a son and the emperor would love you so much."

A Ruo's laughter contained a few crying words: "Do you think the emperor loves me?"

Xin Yanqi said: "My little master, what's wrong with you? The emperor often flips your brand and rewards the most. Even if Shupin is favored, the emperor has never forgotten you. Look, no matter how arrogant and mean Jiapin is, he is just jealous of you."

A Ruo looked sad and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they are all jealous of me, they are all jealous of me. But who brought me to such a place where everyone is jealous and mean. I have been favored for so many years, except for the Queen and Concubine Hui, I have hardly seen the good faces of others. Concubine Hui occasionally sarcastic. Who brought me to such a place where everyone is enemies?" Her mouth became more and more sad: "The emperor has turned over my most signs, but who knows..." When she said this, she covered her mouth and did not dare to speak again. She just looked around in fear, and she burst into tears.

Xinyan didn't understand his intentions, so she had to say, "Don't be sad, my little master, today is a great day for you to be a concubine, and you will have to sleep later. I will accompany you back to the palace quickly and rub your face with eggs. Don't let the emperor see it, it's not good." As he said that, he accompanied A Ruo away with help.

Ruyi was confused when she heard this and asked, "The emperor has turned A Ruo's most brands. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Hailan was also full of doubts: "A Ruo has been very kind in recent years. The emperor treated her quite generously and repeatedly promoted her to reward her. What's wrong with it? But after hearing what she said today, I'm afraid there's some reason. As a result, it's also true that she has a lot of favor and can't help but get resentment. Her foundation is not thick enough, so naturally anyone can show her."

Ruyi said coldly: "Glory and wealth are what she wants, so naturally, this kind of humiliation and bullying is what she wants, so what else can I hate?" She held Hailan's hand: "I think you used so much dinner, but just a few dumplings, is it so appetizing? Don't hold on, let me tell Doctor Jiang to come and have a look."

Hailan returned to the palace and drank a cup of digestive tea, and smiled and said, "I just drank the digestive tea, but I felt a little hungry again. Ye Xin, go and see, what is there to eat in the kitchen?"

Ye Xin agreed to go, and Ruyi said, "Although you will have a better appetite after four months, you have been pregnant for more than six months. Why are you still appetizing like this? You eat a lot, but there is nothing else around you, but you are getting fatter."

Hailan smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? I can't see anyone on my left and right. If I don't eat some, I'm afraid I will lose the child in my stomach, it will be even more worth it."

While he was talking, Ye Xin brought up another tofu-skin bun and a bowl of shrimp wontons. As soon as Hailan finished eating, Jiang Yubin came in and invited Ando: "Empress Xian is blessed, and Hai is blessed."

Ruyi smiled and waved, "I have to ask you to come and have nothing to do. Look at Guiren Hai, who is pregnant and eats many meals a day, and her appetite is so good that it makes people afraid. What's wrong?"

Jiang and Bin took a vein and looked at the empty plate on the table and said, "It's okay for Guiren Hai to have a big appetite. But it looks a little more rounder than the previous few days."

As he was talking, Luhen brought a cup of medicine and said, "The fetal pill has been made, so please drink it quickly."

Hailan picked up the bowl and was about to drink it, but Jiang Yubin suddenly stopped and said, "Did you drink it according to the prescription for the fetal pill prescribed by Weichen?"

Hailan immediately became alert and put down the medicine bowl: "What? Is there anything wrong?"

"It seems that the taste is not right?" Jiang Yubin immediately took the medicine bowl and sniffed it, and immediately ordered Luhen: "Take the remaining medicine residue and I'll take a look."

Luhen knew the pros and cons, so he went immediately, but after a moment, he put a handful of medicine residue on the plate. Jiang Yubin grabbed the medicine residue and sniffed it again, picked up a little and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. He said strangely: "It's strange, although the taste is wrong, it's not a harmful medicine."

Ruyi said anxiously: "What the hell is that?"

Jiang Yubin said: "Weichen will definitely not taste wrong. Someone added anything else to the fetal pill prescribed by Weichen. But this thing is not a bad thing, but a good medicine for appetizing, but it is indeed not included in Weichen's prescription."

Ruyi changed her mind and said, "A good medicine for appetizing? Will you have a very good appetite after taking it, keep eating, and then gain weight. Once you gain weight..."

Jiang Yubin said: "It is also common to gain weight during pregnancy, but Hai Guiren is faster than ordinary people, which is probably related to this medicine. Pregnant women are fatter and their skin cannot bear it, so they are prone to cracking and forming lines."

Hailan already understood, and the sad and resentful look in her eyes was full of grief and resentment: "And this pattern cannot be removed even after delivery. It will be attached to her for life, which makes people unable to see it, right?"

Jiang Yubin was stunned: "Is it true that noble man said so..."

Hailan held his arm tightly and said with hatred: "It has been born on the body and cannot be eradicated."

Jiang Yubin said sternly: "Don't worry, the noble man, I will do my best to study the medicinal properties for the noble man and strive to get rid of it."

Hailan clenched her fists tightly and said with tears in her eyes: "You are intent. But my medicine has always been taken care of by Luhen. Luhen is a trustworthy person. How do you add these appetizing medicines?"

Luhen knelt down in panic and said, "My master, please be careful when I received the medicine from the Imperial Hospital. I have never interfered with it even when decocted the medicine to the front of the master. I don't know what medicine can make you appetizer, so I dare not add it to it without authorization."

Jiang Yubin pondered: "The prescription was prescribed by Weichen, and the medicinal materials were arrested by people from the Imperial Hospital. It doesn't matter if we see it after the preparation is done. However, there are many people in the Imperial Hospital, and it is unknown if someone touched her before handing it to the hands of Miss Luhen. After Weichen returns, he must have carefully examined it."

Hailan held back her tears, her face gradually calmed down, and she pondered: "If you can find out who this matter is, there is no need to make a statement."

Jiang Yubin looked confused, and Ruyi sighed with hatred, "If I were to do it, I would never believe that this medicine was added for your own good. However, the person who came up with this idea would do evil things with harmlessness to others, which was really terrible and hateful. But even if this matter was made public, the emperor would only think that the man was doing something unintentional or even good intentions, and it became the heart of our villain. It would be better not to say it."

Hailan clenched her fists, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were protruding, like winding green snakes, spitting out the core: "It's really amazing to be able to plot against people like this! I remember it, just think that you will gain wisdom after learning from your mistakes. It's just that Doctor Jiang, you will have to worry about it in the future."

Jiang Yubin said embarrassedly: "In the cold palace, Empress Xian is inevitably distracted and cannot be covered in everything. In other words, it is also a dereliction of duty. In the future, the senile minister will definitely be extra careful. In addition, after the nobleman gave birth, the senile minister will also prepare ointments and apply the nobleman's body to eliminate the patterns."

Hailan quietly looked at the dark sky outside, as if she was looking at the way forward that she could not see. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she finally held back and said softly: "Sister, I have only you and the child."

Ruyi patted her comfortably and leaned against her tightly. Their shadows fell on the wall, like a thin silhouette. If a gust of wind blew harder, they would blow away together.

A Ruo was exposed and drilled up little by little from under the quilt. In the black hole, she felt the emperor's young body beside her, exuding a warm atmosphere through the thin silk bedcloth. She poked her head out of the quilt with familiarity, looking at the bright yellow palace-like lintel, dense dragon-teng auspicious cloud embroidery, and the candlelight outside the tent shone on her head, confusing the green gold patterns painted on the tent, as colorful as seven treasures, dazzling and stunning.

She hugged the emperor tightly and wanted to unbutton the first button on his bedclothes. The emperor did not move, but just smiled, with a cold lingering sound, which scared A Ruo quickly retracted her hand.

The emperor's tone was so calm that there was no trace of turbulence: "What are you doing?"

She mustered up her courage and raised her face, looked at the dazzling face of the emperor like the blooming Kangdi, and begged quietly: "The emperor allows me to sleep, I... I am here to serve the emperor."

The emperor's eyes were full of a thin smile as thin as ice chips. He shook the red gold-twisted satin quilt, and glanced casually and said, "Oh. I've taken it all off, I'm here to sleep."

A Ruo blushed and said, "The rules are like this, and I just follow the ancestral system."

The emperor smiled slightly: "You also know that you are a slave. You have been in bed for three years, so naturally you have learned how to serve you. Do you still have to follow the Jingshifang?"

The dark red satin quilt was embroidered with black silk threads, and the dragon claws were embroidered with gold threads. It was sharp and sharp, as if every claw was about to scratch her flesh and blood. A Ruo didn't care about being shy. She attached herself to the emperor with her fresh flesh, trying to warm him with her own hot body, and begged quietly: "Emperor, Your Majesty, please feel sorry for me. I have been sleeping for three years, and it is only the first time... The first time you have been sleeping for me. After so long, I will serve you again!"

The emperor leaned on his arm and brushed her body carelessly. Although he had such a lazy smile on his face, he had only a cold and cold look in his eyes: "Is that so? The first time I promised you to serve you, you were begging for kindness and only wanted to be my woman. I promised you, and I told you that since you have served me in this life, you are a person in the Forbidden City, and you are a ghost in the Forbidden City when you die. You can't go out even if you die. But every time I turn your sign, call you to serve you, and reward you, and give you a position of honor, but I have never touched you again, but you don't know why?"

A Ruo was embarrassed and ashamed, ashamed and hated, but said nothing: "I am ignorant."

The emperor's face slowly cooled down: "Since you know that you are just a slave, not a concubine, don't want to lie beside me."

A Ruo's face was full of purple, and there was no clothes in the hall, so she had to pull over the thin blanket on the bed and hurriedly put it on and get up.

The emperor said lightly: "How did you serve me overnight in the past? It was still the same rule."
