There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 142 Harvest
Singing and dancing, fine wine, all officials flatter.

Emperor Jingyuan sat obliquely on the high dragon chair and watched the singing and dancing below, as if seeing the century-old peace and prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, contented, contented, and full of pride.

But Xia Houjue's face was always cold, even though he couldn't understand those flattering dog officials in every possible way, at most he just glanced at them with cold eyes, and didn't say much.

No matter in the deep palace royal family or above the temple.

He is always like a scheming fox, who sees everything but doesn't take it lightly.

It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Xia Houjue felt that it is not bad for him to be a gentleman.

What he has to do now is to wait, to hold on, to lie dormant.

As long as the queen mother and son can be prevented from ascending the throne smoothly, the spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom, and it will be time for him to settle accounts after autumn.

He can afford to wait for this day, isn't that how tigers hunt in the forest?
Xia Houjue gracefully raised his wine glass, hiding the chilling smile on his lips.

……

The banquet lasted until Haishi.

During the banquet, some officials specially recruited two exotic beauties from the cold regions of the Western Regions in order to flatter them.

Their white skin is like snow, their blackness is like ink, their red clothes are like fire, and their waists are like willows.

The two are dressed in fiery red gauze dresses, with long sleeves and are good at dancing. Their dancing postures are exquisite and their movements are bold. They look like a pair of attractive mandala flowers in full bloom, and like a pair of ghostly and seductive goblins, unlike mortal things.

Seeing that Emperor Jing Yuan's heart was on fire, he couldn't bear it anymore, as soon as the banquet was over, he immediately got up and took the two beauties to leave.

The rest of the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, looked at each other, and left separately.

Not to mention that there are not many honest officials in the court, even if there are, who would dare to say anything at this time.

Xia Houjue left one step earlier, and was even more lazy to say anything.

Even if the father brings all the women in the world into the harem, he is not qualified to persuade him.

It's just that those people suffered, what did they do wrong?
It was late at night after the banquet.

Xia Houjue dismissed the palace people and walked on the palace road alone.

He looked at the drowsy sky without half a moonlight, feeling inexplicably heavy in his heart.

After a long while, he clenched his fists tightly and looked firm, turned around and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

At the same time, in the emperor's bedroom.

The two red-clothed women were taken down by the maid in the palace to wash them clean, and sent back to the dragon bed.

Trembling, Emperor Jingyuan took out a medicine box from the hiding place, swallowed the pill impatiently, turned around and went to sleep with the two beauties on the dragon bed.

That night, the Jinhua Hall was brightly lit all night.

The woman's moaning and the man's panting are intertwined, one after another, and they didn't stop until five o'clock.

Before going to sleep, Emperor Jingyuan held the two tender bodies in his arms with a satisfied face.

The queen's medicine is really effective, the deal is really not a loss, and it is not in vain that I violated the imperial decree and released her in advance.

From now on, if she puts away her ambition and concentrates on caring for him, this harem will still be hers!
The queen of Fengyang Palace didn't know what he was thinking, but she also had trouble sleeping that night.

Not for anything else, just for the crown prince she has been thinking about.

"Nurse Qi, you said that year after year, when will we bring the prince down, I really don't want to wait any longer!"

"There is also that Princess Chen, her body should have recovered, why is there still no movement!"

"Is this grandson still in my arms?!"

Dreaming back in the middle of the night, the queen felt more and more frustrated.

Thinking about the past year, Chen Guifei gained the position of noble concubine and the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the villain of the East Palace went to the south of the Yangtze River, and received countless praises from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

And myself, apart from a useless concubine Chen, there is nothing else I can do.

"Year after year, how good it is to drag on like this!" The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

Nanny Qi persuaded after thinking about it.

"Master, I heard that the emperor has taken in two exotic beauties tonight, tsk tsk, I'm afraid it will be again tonight..."

It's inconvenient to say the following words, but the queen is also a smart person, what doesn't she understand?
"So what? When did I ever take this kind of thing to heart!" She had a very disdainful expression.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

"The monk said that once you take this medicine, you can't stop it. Our emperor is also a person who cherishes flowers. From now on, we must ask your mother to help us a lot!"

"There's also the Grand Hospital. Madam, you need to know that we still hold two lives in our hands!"

Nanny Qi was referring to the miscarriage in Prince Chen's mansion, and the two imperial physicians were responsible for it.

As long as the queen is willing, the two imperial physicians can be convicted immediately, which means that their life or death depends entirely on the queen's willingness.

"Ma'am, isn't this all harvest?"

"Although we didn't win in front of our eyes, we have been planning and never slack off!"

"Last year, I didn't gain much, but this year..." Nanny Qi sneered.

"It's time to see everything!"

The queen was in a much better mood, she grabbed the quilt tightly and shook it violently.

"That's right, some things are procrastinating for longer and longer, and it's time to see the outcome this year!"

"You let Yan's daughter-in-law enter the palace tomorrow. This year, the palace must see her grandson fall to the ground, otherwise she, Princess Chen, will have to be replaced!"

"Yes!" Nanny Qi sighed for a while, but didn't say much.

"By the way, Ma'am, this servant feels that it might be useful for us to meet that nobleman Li!"

"What's the use of her, you and I know Li Guiren's temper!" The queen sneered.

In her eyes, Li Guiren is just a stinky and hard rock, and getting her to do something for herself is as difficult as ever, she gave up a long time ago, and threw her near the conservatory to fend for herself up.

"But what if it's for her son?" Nanny Qi sneered.

Although the friendship has been in her heart for many years, she can't care so much for the sake of the overall situation.

At this time, either you die or I live, there is no third result.

The queen was stunned when she heard the word 'son', and she came back to her senses after a while: "You are right, why didn't this palace think of it!"

Nanny Qi smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, she coaxed her softly.

"It's getting late, and it's time for the empress to go to sleep."

The queen looked out the window, lost in thought.

……

The first day of junior high school passed, and the second day of junior high school was the day when the concubines in the palace met their natal family.

It is said that Tang Wanning's grade is high enough, so she can be interviewed.

It's a pity that her natal home is too far away, and no one comes here, so she can't see anyone, so she can only continue to be bored at home.

However, she couldn't stay idle.

Especially after two snowfalls, I couldn't sit still when I saw the snow outside.

"Oh! I want to go out!"

"Where does empress want to go?" Bi Yue looked expectant.

"There is an open space over there for Gao Liangyuan, why don't you practice archery?" Bi Luo suggested.

Tang Wanning shook her head: "I don't want to go for now!"
