How did my host die?

I was chatting with Tuanzi when Meixiang came in and said that the Queen Mother invited all the concubines to enjoy the flowers the day after tomorrow. I got it. You can go downstairs now. I'm going to rest.

On the day of flower viewing, when Duoduo arrived, Jingpin and Shunpin had already arrived a while later.

Why did your Majesty come just now? We have been waiting for you for a while, said Shunpin.

Alas, the child was crying so I came a little late. What’s the matter?

It's nothing, just Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan are reciting poems to each other. It's boring, so Concubine Jing and I will sit in this pavilion.

As the three were talking, they suddenly heard a song.

The lotus leaves are so lush.

There are two carps in it,

Playing among the blue waves.

Fish play on lotus leaves in the east,

Fishes play on lotus leaves in the south.

Whose girl is hidden deep in the lotus leaves?

Throwing a lotus across the water with a smile.

What a great voice! This song moves me to my core, and the emperor must be even more moved when he hears it.

Duoduo listened to Concubine Xin's words outside the pavilion.

Hearing the singing, Duoduo knew that it was An Da Ying. Unexpectedly, after placing her in Jingpin's Xianfu Palace, she was not returned intact, and An Da Ying still surrendered to the Queen.

It seems that this person is ungrateful. No wonder Wanpin wanted to get rid of her later in the original plot.

The Queen is quite resourceful, she was able to train An into this state.

Who is singing this? The emperor asked.

Eunuch Su immediately went to the riverside to let the boat dock. Who are you? Come and pay your respects to the emperor.

Take off the veil and let me see it.

After taking off the veil, the emperor looked at her but didn't immediately remember who she was.

The Queen immediately said, "Your Majesty, isn't this An Da Ying? I didn't expect An Da Ying's singing voice is so beautiful," said the Queen.

You are An Da Ying, how could I not know that you can sing, and sing so well. Yes, when flowers are ready to be picked, pick them immediately, don't wait until there are no flowers left and the branches are empty. Today I will pick this flower for you.

After saying this, he took An's hand and left.

Duoduo said to Jingpin, "It turns out that the Queen did not invite us to appreciate the flowers, but to listen to music."

She is a foxy girl who only knows how to seduce the emperor, Shunpin scolded.

This is not seduction. The emperor is also An Dancing's master. It is her ability to make her master happy.

I thought the Queen Mother really wanted us to come here to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't expect this to happen. This is a way to find a way out for An.

This An promised to take refuge with the Queen. Your Majesty, didn’t you say that this An was good at making incense? Does the Queen know about this? Jingpin asked.

The Queen Mother must have known about this. Otherwise, why do you think she helped her? Wasn't it because she wanted to find a knife for herself so that someone could speak for her in front of the Emperor? Maybe after a long time, the Queen Mother still hasn't taken back the power in the palace, Duoduo said.

Then we have to be careful. We can't use this incense carelessly. It can be fatal if used incorrectly. I heard that some incense can't be mixed. Jingpin said

Then I have to go back and tell Mammy that I won't use incense in the palace anymore. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, it will be too late to regret it. Shunpin said

Well, you two just need to be careful. Looking at today's scene, An promised that she should seek refuge with the Queen. It's been a while. Sister Jingpin is in your palace. Didn't you notice anything? Duoduo asked.

Alas. There was a period of time when I saw An Da Ying going out early and coming back late every day, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that she would take refuge with the Queen? Now that I am back in the palace, I have to pay attention to her. I thought she went to Sui Yu Xuan to find Wanpin every day like Shen Guiren. After all, they came in together and said that they have a good relationship. Jingpin said.

With that, the three of them went back. The Emperor had already taken An Da Ying away, so there was no point in staying any longer. The highlight of the day should be An Da Ying's singing. Didn't you see that the Queen had already left?

Sister Mei, Lingrong's singing today is a little different than before. Did she go to practice? Why did she hide it from us? Don't you trust us? Wanpin said.

I don't know either. She hasn't talked to us for a while. Maybe she heard what Huanbi said last time and thought too much. It's not as good as the relationship we had when we grew up together. Don't think too much. It's good that she is favored. If she is not favored, there will be others. There are so many people in the harem. You are also lucky to have a princess. You are not like me. I have no hope for the future, said Concubine Shen uninterested.

There will always be one. Sister, as long as you are healthy, you will have a child. Sister, don't worry, just take good care of yourself.

I know, but there is still a child in this palace. Well, look at Shunpin and Xianfei, don't they both have children? No matter what the emperor is like, he will still go to see the children. When they meet, they will have a little affection. He will always remember to be the mother.

But I also feel that Lingrong has become estranged from us. Fortunately, I still have you, Shen Guiren said.

Sister Mei, I will always be with you. Now the emperor doesn't favor me as much as before. Sister, you have to find a way to keep the emperor and give birth to a child. This way we can gain a foothold in the palace. If you have a child, you will at least be a concubine.

Lady Shen also knew that having this child depended on fate.

Duoduo returned to Shangtianguang, thinking about what An agreed to do. Unexpectedly, this would end up being mixed up with the Queen. Is the plot so powerful? But she has also changed a lot. Now the Emperor can favor her for a few days, but if she follows the Queen, there will be no children. No one knows what An Lingrong is thinking. Everyone in the palace knows the Queen's methods, but she still delivers herself to them. She is in Xianfu Palace, and Jingpin will not embarrass her. Why does she have to be the Queen's cannon fodder? Forget it, good words cannot persuade the damn ghost.

Just be careful next time. This An Da Ying is like a snake in the dark. If you are not careful, she will plot against you. Remember in the plot, this An Lingrong will always use aphrodisiac perfume on the emperor. You have to rest, and the queen can't be in trouble. When the emperor comes to see you, give him something so that he won't be sucked dry by An Da Ying.

Meixiang, is there anything to eat? I’m hungry. I asked towards the door.

"Your Majesty has it. I'll bring it to you. Didn't Your Majesty go out to appreciate the flowers? Didn't she have some snacks there?" Meixiang asked.

No, your master is just going to make up the numbers today. No, today except An Da Ying, everyone else is going to make up the numbers, Duoduo said to Meixiang.

Just to make up the numbers. The master is in the garden today. What's the matter? Why are you here to make up the numbers?

It's nothing. It's just that the Empress arranged for An Da Ying to sing today because she is favored. The Emperor was very happy with her singing. I was just going to make up the numbers. The Empress must have felt that the Emperor would be disgusted if she made such a deliberate arrangement. But today so many people went to appreciate the flowers, and I just happened to see An Da Ying singing. Even if the Emperor knew it was the Empress, it wouldn't seem so deliberate. This way the Emperor wouldn't be disgusted, and the Empress also pushed her own people out. What a good plan.
