In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, which was a grand event in the Dasheng Dynasty. The entire imperial city was even more lively and lively.
All the royal family, nobles and civil and military officials all entered the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Xia Beibei and all the concubines in the harem were busy in the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace early in the morning. The women in the harem are not allowed to meet outsiders casually, but at night there will be a family banquet in the harem. At that time, the other princes will come to the palace together to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Xia Beibei had already made a plan. The whole imperial city knew that she was weak. When it was time for the banquet, she would pretend to be unwell and leave early. After returning to the bedroom, she would change clothes with Cailan and let Cailan pretend to be herself. He went to rest on the bed covered with a quilt, while he disguised himself and went out, waiting for an opportunity to find out the truth about Qin Wang Feng Linye.
For this plan, Xia Beibei has been preparing for a long time, and there is no room for failure.
It's night, the imperial city banquet, singing and dancing.
Because of the improvement of her status these days, Xia Beibei's seat is relatively near the front. From her line of sight, she can just see Feng Linye in a python robe. Feng Linye is four years younger than Feng Linchen, but he is always He is stationed at the border and he is a general. He does not look immature, but is full of fierce masculinity.
At this time, Feng Linye was drinking a glass of wine, and his trance-like gaze stayed on Changsun Yu.
Although Changsun Yu also noticed Feng Linye's gaze, time has passed, and now she is no longer the ignorant girl she was back then. For the sake of the royal family's face, and even more for the sake of her own relationship with His Majesty, she turned her face away on purpose. Then pay attention to Feng Linye's gaze.
Seeing Changsun Yu's movements, Feng Linye's eyes darkened, and a deep cold light flashed away in those sharp eyes.
Seeing his partner's loving face, Xia Beibei couldn't help but sigh—
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty pass!
You said you are so affectionate, no wonder the rebellion failed!
Fail, fail!
"Cough cough."
Xia Beibei sighed, covered his lips and coughed twice.
"Concubine Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Beibei's coughing immediately caught the Empress Dowager's attention. There is no way, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become too harmonious recently, and the Empress Dowager really wants to show her love at any time.
"Mother, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, disturbing the mother!"
Xia Beibei looked at the queen mother apologetically while talking.
"It's okay, Concubine Xi's body is weak, and it's really not easy to sit for a long time. The Ai family knows your situation, you should go back and rest first, your body is important!"
Your Majesty is really great.
"After thanking mother, the concubine will leave first!"
Xia Beibei stood up weakly and bowed to the queen mother, then blessed the princes, then turned around and walked away slowly with Cailan's support.
All the way back to Luoxia Palace, Xia Beibei took a shower, changed clothes and took a shower.
According to her guess, even if the emperor's hidden guards kept monitoring her, they would relax when they were sleeping and taking a bath.
Of course, she didn't know at this time that the person monitoring her had already left.
Adhering to the style of sailing carefully, Xia Beibei asked Cailan to put down the bed curtain to wait for her to rest after taking a bath and changing clothes. At this moment, she quickly changed clothes with Cailan, and then asked Cailan to help her After combing her hair, she quickly left the bedroom with her head down.
At this time, the banquet in the palace was still going on, but Xia Beibei wanted to go to another place.
According to the plot she knew, Feng Linye left the meeting early today, and he sent someone to hand Chang Sun Yu a small note, asking her to meet in a secluded waterside pavilion in the imperial city.
Of course, in the end Feng Linye waited for half an hour but didn't find the person he was waiting for, so he could only leave disheartened.
Now, Xia Beibei was about to go to that place. Although she did not have a strong backer, the news that she was favored in the imperial city was already well known in the city, and I believe this could be regarded as her bargaining chip.
Even if Feng Linye didn't like him as a partner, at least he would think about it, and he would not report himself in front of Feng Linchen.
Therefore, this meeting is still very necessary.
It's just that the place where Feng Linye made an appointment to meet Sun Yu was too remote. Although Xia Beibei had already quietly told Cailan to find that place and drew a map for herself, but now, Xia Beibei is in this dark night. It took me a long time to find the secluded waterside pavilion.
Compared with the bright lights in other parts of the harem, this place is very quiet. In the dark pavilion, a man can be vaguely seen.
Xia Beibei took a deep breath, and then walked over slowly.
The man in the water pavilion kept his back to Xia Beibei, through the shallow moonlight, Xia Beibei could vaguely see the python robe on his body.
"My lord?"
Xia Beibei stepped forward quickly and called out in a low voice.
The figure seemed to be about to turn around when he heard footsteps, but when he suddenly heard Xia Beibei's voice, he froze for a moment, and the movement of turning around also froze: "Why are you? Empress Xi!"
There was a trace of surprise in the deep male voice.
Emma! He actually recognized his own voice all at once! Is this baby so popular now
cough cough.
Xia Beibei didn't have time to be narcissistic, so she smiled lowly: "My lord is really good at hearing, but knowing that it's me, lord, you must be very disappointed, right? I know who you are waiting for, lord, but unfortunately, she will never Come to this date."
