Chapter 32: Always Crazy

The banquet was resumed with more wine, and a few people wished Xu Jieyu a happy ending. After that, they all felt a little dull. www.

, Xuan Ling asked Le Ji to choose a new song to sing. When the banquet started earlier, An Lingrong had already sung a song. At this moment, Lady Yan stood up and said: "All the sisters in the palace are here today. I am tired of listening to music."

The music of the square, I am very talented, although it is not as good as An Gui's concubine, I am still willing to win the elegance with one song."

Xuan Ling looked at her with a smile and said, "I have never heard you sing a song in the past few years since I was with you, but today it is rare to hear you sing with your golden voice."

Ye Lanyi smiled charmingly, and the water in Danfeng's eyes was full of water, just like the ice and snow melting, and the spring light was bright, and said: "Singing well is just for fun, singing poorly is just for fun. I am showing off my ugliness." She has always been cold,

She had such a bright smile today. Although everyone was dissatisfied with the fact that she was favored because of her humble background, they all understood that it was a pity that she was living among the beasts every day with her appearance.

She stood up and stood in the center of the main hall, with her sleeves stretched out and her face condensing, like a banana plant stretching out her affectionate face, and singing gracefully: "What night is it today? I'm in the middle of the boat. What day is it today? I have to be in the same boat with the prince. I'm ashamed and I'm fine.

I don’t feel shameful. My heart is troubled but I don’t know how to stop it. I know that the prince has trees on the mountain and the trees have branches. My heart is happy for you, but you don’t know it.”

In fact, Lingrong's singing voice is already one of the best in the palace. In addition, after years of deliberate efforts, it has already reached the level of perfection. An Lingrong's singing voice is at the forefront. Unless Empress Chunyuan is alive, there will be no one who can surpass her, let alone

Ye Lanyi, who has never practiced singing skills. However, if you taste it carefully, although Lingrong's singing benefits from sophistication, it also lacks sophistication. It focuses too much on technique and imitation, and has long lost the true flavor of its early years.

. And Ye Lanyi is just singing casually, but what is more important is her innocence and deep affection. The kind of yearning that a Yue girl pours out her heart to the prince, the kind of hesitation and sadness that you don't understand my feelings in front of you.

, in the song, it seems like a river flowing freely, meandering sadly.

For a moment, the entire Chonghua Palace was silent. It was in the last sentence of her long and repeated song that she kept thinking about it: "My heart is so happy for you, but you don't know it."

Suddenly a feeling of comfort arose from the bottom of my heart. At least, I am much luckier than the Yue girl in "Yueren Song". In any case, the person I like understands my thoughts, just like I understand him too.

.Thinking like this, I raised my head slightly and saw Xuan Qing looking at me with full eyes, and my heart felt even warmer.

However, I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I was about to signal him, but I saw that Ye Lanyi had finished singing, and she clapped her hands twice. She heard the crisp sound of birds chirping outside the hall, and suddenly a group of colorful parrots flew in.

, one with golden feathers stopped on Xuan Ling's arm, and one with white feathers and red beak stopped on Xuan Qing's shoulder.

Xuan Ling was very interested and said with a smile: "It's very thoughtful, and the little thing is also trained to be smart."

Yan Guiren smiled slightly, her eyes wandering over everyone's faces. Others didn't know what to do, but I was caught by her eyes, and I felt as if my whole body was filled with soft and peaceful spring water, suddenly feeling warm. She had always looked cold.

, her expression is so gentle now, which is surprising. Her voice is as clear as ice-breaking water, "I am not good at singing, so I have to put some thought into these heresy."

An Lingrong smiled warmly and said eloquently: "This is exactly what Sister Yan is good at, and she is also very popular with the Emperor. None of us are as caring as my sister."

Hu Zhaoyi smiled lowly, and the bright jade butterfly love pendant on her ear dangled wildly, "What An Guibi means is that Yangui was born as a beast-taming girl, and humble people are best at playing with the natural beauty of strange branches."

Are you here to please the emperor?"

Lu Zhaorong was the most outspoken. He laughed and blurted out: "What a wonderful skill! An Guifei may not have meant to say this. If we talk about her humble background, is An Guifei a noble lady? They are the same person.

That’s all, if Concubine An said this with intention, she would be slapping herself in the mouth.”

Hu Zhaoyi's smart eyes rolled like black mercury, and the corners of her lips were already filled with spring color. She said in a long tone: "Yes - An Guibi's father is already the prefect, and she is what her cousin calls 'the wife of etiquette and justice'."

How can people slap themselves in the mouth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several of the brave concubines below started to giggle. An Lingrong knew that he had made a mistake, and because of Hu Zhaoyi's identity, her face turned as red as a pigeon's blood ruby, and she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Concubine Jing pretended not to hear and coaxed her into holding a big orange to play with. I watched coldly and picked up a golden Buddha's hand on a white jade plate, just to enjoy the Buddha's hand with Meizhuang.

The queen couldn't stand it for a moment, coughed slightly, and said with a hint of blame: "Zhaoyi, don't lose your sense of proportion."

Hu Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Cousin Queen, don't be angry. It's inevitable for the whole family to get together and have fun. Besides, it's not me who said this first!" After saying that, he just looked at An.

Mausoleum.

An Lingrong became more and more embarrassed, her face could not help but turn red and white, her body was trembling softly, tears were in her eyes, and she could hardly hold them back and wanted to fall. The queen only said gently and gently: "Concubine An Gui has always been cautious and gentle.

They may not be words meant from the heart. Yunrong, you are not someone who has to think about everything you say."

Hu Zhaoyi's bright eyes and white teeth, with a peach blossom face that is both happy and angry, became even more delicate and beautiful under the bright light in the palace, and her eyes were so delicate that they could drip water. She said softly: "Cousin, listen, what the queen means is

Some people say and do things carelessly, but they are taken advantage of by people who care about them."

Xuan Ling's fingers rubbed the sapphire wine glass in his hand, which was as smooth as a jade. The "rose drunkenness" in the glass was like a fine pure rouge. His eyes were a little unfocused, as if he was listening but also unintentionally. He suddenly smiled "chi" and said slowly

He said slowly: "Who would have such thoughts in their heart?" He glanced at the palace maid behind Lu Zhaorong and said: "Zhaorong is drunk and does not care about the importance of his words. Just help your master go down and rest."

Xuan Ling said lightly and put the blame on Lu Zhaorong, who was always outspoken. Hu Zhaoyi was slightly shocked, calmed down and curled his lips as if nothing had happened. Even though Lu Zhaorong was not angry, he could not help but endure it and let the maid beside him help him.

Go down.

Concubine Duan shook her head sadly and took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but she never drank alcohol. An Lingrong's face was flushed, and she thanked her lovingly, "All kinds of troubles have arisen because of this concubine. I'm so sorry."

Be careful with your words and actions.”

Xuan Ling's affection for her gradually faded, but he gave her a few words of comfort and said: "You always feel unhappy after drinking, so you should leave earlier."

I have known Lingrong for a long time, and I know that she has a good drinking capacity, which is not what Xuan Ling said. In this way, it is clear that she dislikes her presence. An Lingrong's face turned slightly purple, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

She spoke sincerely, as if she was truly grateful to Xuan Ling.

Seeing her getting up, Hu Zhaoyi smiled slightly and said coquettishly: "Concubine An Gui is very unlucky. She causes trouble whenever she speaks. Today is such a good day, and the emperor should not have asked her to come."

Xuan Ling frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "No one in the palace can sing as well as her right now - from now on at the palace night banquet, I will ask her to sing a song and then go back."

Hu Zhaoyi said: "No matter how good the singing voice is, there will be a time when you get tired of listening to it. Now it's Yan Guiren." She paused and said, "Has the emperor forgotten the case of Xu Jieyu and Shen Shuyuan? It's a good time to collide with the fetal gas."

Xuan Ling thought for a moment, his eyes lingered on Meizhuang and Yan Yi's lower abdomen, and said: "That's fine, let her stay in Jingchun Palace from now on. There is no need to come out if nothing happens."

Hu Zhaoyi was born in a noble family and never took Lingrong seriously. At this moment, Lingrong had not yet left the palace, so she did not shy away from it and continued to speak loudly. Lingrong trembled slightly but did not turn around.

, just as if they hadn't heard anything, they still walked out of the palace quietly. All the concubines had long been dissatisfied with the fact that Ling Rong had been favored for several years. Today, seeing her being humiliated in public and hearing about it, nine out of ten people secretly expressed their wish.

.

On the other hand, Lady Yan, who had caused the commotion, remained calm and turned a deaf ear. Maybe I was being careless, but I just felt that she glanced at my face intentionally or unintentionally.

Hu Zhaoyi was slightly flattered by the humiliation of the mausoleum, so she ordered the maid next to her to pour some more wine. The red wine juice made her almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks even more beautiful, and her features were like a painting. Meizhuang was close to her, as if she was sighing softly unintentionally.

One sentence, "Speaking of which, Concubine An Gui has such a voice, not to mention that of the emperor. I can't forget it even when I think about it occasionally. New love is the best, but after all, old love cannot be forgotten, not to mention Concubine An Gui's voice is so natural."

Hu Zhaoyi clasped his hands hard, then released them immediately, snorted as if nothing had happened, and said nothing more.

I turned my head slightly and saw that Xu Jieyu's face was as pale as frost, and the rouge seemed to be floating on her cheeks. I secretly felt bad, knowing that she was worried about the red peony incident just now, so I smiled and said to Xuan Ling: "

Speaking of drunkenness, I heard that Xu Jieyu's palace has a good recipe for sobering up, so why not ask Jieyu to send someone to Lu Zhaorong's palace to sober her up."

Xuan Ling said calmly: "Jieyu has read a lot of books. If there are any good ancient prescriptions, just ask someone to get them."

Xu Jieyu was slightly absent-minded. At this moment, she was able to excuse herself from the stage and said, "I kept that recipe myself. I'm afraid others won't find it, so I'd better go there in person."

Xuan Ling nodded and said gently: "That's fine. You are about to give birth. It's not advisable to sit at the table for too long. Please step aside first."

As he said this, he asked Jie Jiehaosheng to help him go down. When Li Chang saw two concubines leaving the table, he couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't turned over your cards yet. What do you think?"

The queen smiled like flowers and was considerate, "Li Chang, you are getting more and more confused in your job. Today is a happy day for Rong to change clothes, so of course I went to Yongcui Pavilion." The queen sincerely prayed, "I hope Rong Changyi can be with her."

The old mistress Xu Jieyu was generally blessed, it would be great if she could conceive a dragon fetus for the emperor as soon as possible."

Xu Jieyu had already walked to the palace gate, and the queen spoke clearly. Her back trembled slightly, like a fallen leaf blowing in the wind, and her steps were almost unsteady.

I felt sad and worried about Xu Jieyu even more. Xuan Ling didn't pay attention to it and just said with a smile: "The queen is virtuous, you really took the trouble."

The queen watched Xu Jieyu's leaving figure, shook her head slightly and said: "Although Xu Jieyu is smart, she is a little bit over the top. It will be inappropriate tonight. In fact, the emperor is very fond of Xu Jieyu, and she will give birth to another heir."

, what else is lacking?”

Xuan Ling was thoughtful and said: "Xu Jieyu doesn't look like such a person."

The Queen smiled knowingly, "They are just little girls. The Emperor has shown too much pity to Xu Jieyu recently. She is not as sensible as before." After saying that, she turned to look at me with a smile, and said kindly: "After all, Concubine Wan is considerate and considerate.

It’s just that your good intentions may spoil her.”

I suddenly woke up and Qian Shun smiled and said: "Your Majesty is worried. I am not conniving. I am just afraid that Xu Jieyu will get angry and hurt the dragon's fetus. What is more important than the emperor's heir?"

Xuan Ling gave me a gentle look and said, "I am weak and I always worry about this."

The queen stared at Xuan Ling, "But Xu Jieyu..." Although Xuan Ling was silent, he frowned slightly as he looked at Xu Jieyu's empty seat.

It was late at night, and the singing and dancing had not yet stopped. I took advantage of Xuan Ling's high interest and had no time to care about anything else. I smiled and said to Concubine Duan in a low voice: "Sister, why did you start drinking wine just now? Although the osmanthus wine is sweet, it has great staying power.

Look, sister, this way of drinking is to add wine to cheer up, or to drink to drown sorrows?"

Concubine Duan's brows and eyes were slightly sad, and she sighed: "Although drinking to drown my sorrows will not help, but what if I see Lu Zhaorong's appearance - she is the biological mother of the first emperor of the emperor? The favor of her family is not as good as that of Hu Zhaoyi, so she was

A person has stepped on her to such an extent that her lips are dead and her teeth are cold. Even if Emperor Wen Yi is not my biological child."

There was a smile on my lips, and I lowered my voice like a common gossip, "Sister, with her dignity, who can implicate her for no reason. But having said that, no one understands what happened today. Sister Lu is just a scapegoat. But if the emperor hadn't spoken,

Who can despise Shu and Di Ji’s biological mother?"

Concubine Duan didn't even raise her eyelashes, but the coolness in her tone was clear, "Our Emperor... Your heart is not like mine, which is probably the suffering of all women." I remained silent, and wherever I looked, there was a hint of plain calmness.

Beyond the fascination of five colors, it is as bright as the moon.

After drinking for a few rounds, I felt that I couldn't bear it, and I was worried about Xu Jieyu, so I said "I'm tired" and left first. I was worried about Xu Jieyu, so I ordered the sedan chair to go to Yuzhao Palace. Waiting for the sedan chair.

When we arrived at Yuzhao Palace, the night was as clear as a silver waterfall pouring onto the green glazed tiles of Yuzhao Palace, splashing countless bright lights. The full moon became brighter and brighter, and the stars in the sky were like endless mercury fragments, rolling away the brilliance of the day.

The cool breeze came slowly, and I felt at ease. I just entered the Yimen and saw Platycodon scurrying around like an ant on a hot pot. My heart sank and I quickly asked: "What's wrong? She looked like she was distracted.

Look."

Kikyo suddenly saw me, as if she had seen a savior, and said hurriedly: "It's good if the empress is here. My young lady has a fetal force and is crying out in pain. She still endures not allowing the slave to go to the imperial doctor. How can this be good?"

My heart sank and I hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? How could a perfectly good person have fetal gas?"

Platycodon was so anxious that she wanted to cry, so she just sobbed and stamped her feet, saying bitterly: "Chi Shao has those little hooves!"

I hurriedly stopped and said: "What is Chi Shao? Now she is Rong Changyi. Don't call her by the wrong name and it will harm your mistress!" I called Scutellaria baicalensis: "You tell me."

Scutellaria baicalensis spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty picked red peony seeds and sealed his clothes today. He has already cleaned up the place and asked people to pick up the things for Rong's clothes. I don't know if the young lady was angry or something, but her face looked bad just now. Now they are cleaning up in a mess.

I took my things and left, thinking that I disturbed the young lady’s rest.”

I frowned and shook my head, looking at the full moon and sighing: "Your Majesty is too impatient. If you want to grant her a title, she will not be in a hurry to change clothes. You can wait until Xu Jieyu gives birth, so why be so impatient."

"

Kikyo couldn't help pouting: "She is obviously the queen..."

Huanbi comforted her in a low voice: "The emperor is not such an impatient person. It was probably Rong who instigated the queen by changing her clothes. She has the queen presiding over her, and relying on your young master's always being kind, she has become more and more prominent." Platycodon is originally Xu.

Jieyu's confidant, and the personal maid who was married to Jin, naturally felt sorry for her master, and her face turned red and became more and more annoyed.

I knew it in my heart, and smiled slightly. My heart was gripped by anxiety again, and I hurriedly urged: "Your lady is confused because of the pain, are you confused too? There is nothing more important than Jieyu's life right now, so why don't you hurry up?"

Go and invite Imperial Physician Wei!" I thought about it and said, "I will also invite Imperial Physician Wen, and I will go in and see your lady!"

Huanbi hurriedly grabbed me and persuaded me: "The delivery room is a bloody and ominous place. How can I go in while I am pregnant?"

I turned around and yelled: "What nonsense! She hasn't given birth yet, how can it be bloody and ominous! Xu Jieyu is depressed. How could I not go and see how dangerous it is to give birth like this!" As he said this, he pushed her hand away and went straight to the inner hall.

Go.

Xu Jieyu has always been modest and dislikes luxury. The Kongcui Hall where she lives has always lacked antiques, jewelry, and even seasonal flowers. There are green shadows, the evening breeze ripples the soft Huanxi gauze in the room, and the moonlight shines all over the place.

The clear shadows were swaying uncertainly. In the haziness, I saw a few sparse dark red lamps outside, illuminated by the moon, like a dull and tired face after taking off makeup. The red light cast on the dark green inner room, only to feel dazzling and desolate, with endless desolation.

.

The delicate woman among the stacks of quilts slumped weakly, her body curled up into a painful posture. Her face was pale and plain, so transparent that there was no trace of blood. A pair of delicate hands curled up softly on the thin lake blue silk quilts, like a cold person

And sighing in loneliness. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes half-closed in exhaustion and boredom, and the occasional moan could not help but reveal the deeply hidden pain.

I sighed softly, put my hands on her weak shoulders, and said softly: "Why bother to make yourself look like this?"

Her shoulders were hunched, like a wounded animal. Half of her face was buried in the quilt, and I couldn't see her tears. I could only see that the lake blue laminated silk quilt was moist and soaked with water, turning into melancholy water.

Blue. I said softly: "It's sad to be sad, don't you want to take your own life?"

After a long moment of silence, her hoarse voice came out in a sobbing and vague voice: "Life... why does he care about my life at all?"

I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart, so I could only comfort me: "It's common for men to be greedy for the new and forget the old, let alone the emperor. Can my sister be so blind to it?"

"How to see through it?" Xu Jieyu turned around with difficulty and smiled sadly, "Once you see through it, it will be heartbreaking pain. If you pretend to be blind, the emperor will not even leave me the room to turn a blind eye.

"Her face was covered with tears, and the smile she could barely maintain oozed a kind of water flow in her rapid and weak breathing. The sadness at the end of the song was gone, as if the prosperous scene of three springs in heaven and earth had been shattered. Her

Her expression was so empty, with nothing else but unobstructed sorrow. I had never seen her look so desperate. Her whole body was like a withered white magnolia on the ground, washed away yellow and broken by the rain.

I comforted me softly: "You are not feeling well, so don't say these words for now. It is only right to ask the imperial doctor to see you."

Her eyes were wide open, burning with black flames as if she was unwilling to do so. She grasped the hem of my clothes tightly and gasped: "Zhen Huan, there are some things I have never said before, but now... now..." She pondered for a moment,

Suddenly he smiled glumly, "I have been calling you 'Empress' since you returned to the palace, but this word 'Zhen Huan' has been reversed in my heart countless times. I haven't heard of you since the first day I came here, and countless people treat you as

It's a joke, but I have always been curious in my heart, what kind of woman you are! It wasn't until I served the emperor that I became even more curious." Her breathing was a little chaotic and rapid, and her face was dark red, "The emperor doesn't have me in his heart.

I have always understood. I know that I am not beautiful or well-behaved enough. The only good thing is that I read a lot. But it doesn’t matter. When it comes to studying, you are extremely talented. There is also An, who is extremely favored in the palace.

My dear concubine, no matter how much I try, I never get the emperor's favor from time to time. Later, the emperor got Fu Ruyin, and I never understood how the emperor could love her so much when Fu Ruyin was so shallow. Later, Fu Jieyu died, and I

I just vaguely heard that she looks like you. The longer we get along, the more I understand how much the emperor misses you and cares about you - even though he never told anyone. Until that day I saw you, I was willing to miss you, Fu Ruyin

So similar to you, Your Majesty—" She firmly held my gaze and smiled sadly, "Sister Wan Fei, you are so lucky. Although you are far away from the world of candidates, the Emperor has never stopped missing you. Sometimes the Emperor is willing

You came to see me just because you like to see me sitting under the window reading a book. Do you know?" She suddenly smiled sadly, like a weeping red plum suddenly blooming in the snow, "The Emperor has always loved looking at me.

Purple shirt, reading quietly under the window with a scroll in hand. It wasn’t until you came back that I realized that the silhouette was very similar to the way you looked when you were reading. Only at this time will the Emperor treat me most tenderly."

I couldn't bear the pain, the pain of being treated as a substitute, how could I not know. The only difference is that my truth was cruelly torn apart overnight, but Xu Jieyu has always known it.

Tolerant. I thought about how deep the love must be to tolerate such affection, which I knew was an illusion. I gently stroked her back, and was suddenly shocked to realize how thin she was. The bones were rugged and protruding in the palm of my hand, as if

It seemed like it could break with just a little force. She felt calm, she had always been unhappy, and she was even more disheartened by the red peony incident. She was a sensitive and thoughtful woman, how could she withstand such twists and turns.

"As long as you are willing, you can call me Zhen Huan. All fame and glory are empty." I said softly: "Since you are so unhappy, learning from Concubine Duan early is also a way out."

Xu Jieyu's eyes suddenly jumped and she shook her head gently. She was so fragile and weak, and when she shook her head, her hair scattered like autumn grass and the cold smoke was desolate, but the smile at the corner of her lips gradually became warmer and brighter. "The days when I am by the Emperor's side, as long as

I can look at him from a distance, and he treats me with superficial affection, but what does that matter?" Her eyes became more and more intoxicated, with brilliance overflowing, "I still remember the day I chose to choose, I was in Yunyi

It was the first time I saw the emperor in the palace. He was on the distant throne, so tall and good. He asked my name very gently, although he forgot it afterwards. But when he spoke to me, in my heart,

There is no other man in this world who can compare with him."

The moment my mind was touched, I immediately thought of that plain figure. In my heart, there is no man in the world who can compare with him. My heart is full of lungs, and only he is where my heart is and where my soul is. Thinking of this

, couldn’t help but feel sad.

Xu Jieyu stared at me closely, "Sister, you have the same thoughts about the emperor, right? That's why you are willing to go through all the difficulties to return to the palace. If it were anyone else, who was once an abandoned concubine and whose family background was ruined, how could he dare to come back again?"

Is this a harem like a wolf and a tiger?"

Xu Jieyu's thoughts were simple after all. And in front of her, I couldn't refute. She lay on the bed and smiled with difficulty, "Although I was in lockdown when I first met my sister, I understood with just one glance.

My sister is worthy of the emperor's love. And my sister's affection for the emperor is reciprocated with sincerity. Therefore, I am only happy for the emperor and do not dare to resent my sister at all."

I wondered, "If my sister can tolerate me, why should she care so much about Chi Shao?"

She was slumped, "The Tian family is so cruel. It is already difficult to welcome my sister back, so we should cherish her even more. However, my sister and I are both pregnant with children for him, and he has a new love. I used to think that the emperor would be more favored if he didn't have his sister."

, Now that my sister is here, and the emperor keeps even those as frivolous and frivolous as red peony seeds, how can I not be discouraged?" Before he could finish his words, tears flowed down again.

Xu Jieyu's breath was unstable, and all the people serving around her were kicked out. I saw that she looked bad and was so excited, and I became even more worried. At this time, she was wearing homely magnolia-colored pajamas, and I had no intention of putting my hand on her.

On the couch, I suddenly felt the tentacles were warm and sticky, and I was suddenly shocked. I opened the quilt and saw that the hem of her nightgown was stained red with blood. I shouted out loud: "Huanbi——"
