Yang Guang ordered that Ha'er would be treated as the empress's descendant. No one was allowed to mention Ha'er's background, otherwise, they would be punished with the crime of seducing people's hearts.

Due to Han'er, Yang Guang went to Yongan palace more and more times, so naturally, rewards kept flowing in. However, he had never stayed at Yongan palace, for the matter of Yang Guang pampering Han'er, the people in the harem all raised their eyebrows. As the crown prince and eldest son, Zhao'er had never received such a favor.

The most indignant and embarrassed was naturally Chen Zhong.

In the eyes of the crowd, although her background was unknown, she had stolen Yun'er's identity as her eldest daughter. Furthermore, Yang Guang's love for her was not even a tenth of his love for her.

Although Yang Guang stayed in the Palace the most, he still favored a few concubines that were chosen to enter the Palace, especially Su Ke'er.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Mid-Autumn Festival came again. This time's banquet, Yang Guang suddenly thought of something and decided to set it up at the Guiyuan Courtyard. Clumps of golden, silver, and pink-colored osmanthus flowers, clustered together, were blooming happily.

The branches of the tree were decorated with fine silk, and small and exquisite lanterns were hung up all over the place.

In the midst of the osmanthus fragrance, everyone was sitting in order. Yang Guang and I were sitting side by side on the throne. As we drank our wine, we were talking and laughing, but our conversation was filled with estrangement.

Zhao'er sat beside me, obedient and obedient. From time to time, she would take some soft snacks to feed the baby in the nurse's arms. The baby was in the midst of learning her language. She was lively and cute, and Yang Guang loved her as if she were his most precious treasure.

Lady Xuanhua, who was standing next to him, still had a weak and delicate appearance. Chen Chong hugged Yun'er and took a few steps forward. When he saw Yang Guang holding her in his arms, he said in a slightly sour tone,

"People all say that the back of the hand is meat. As long as Your Majesty sees me, he won't be able to remember me."

Yang Guang chuckled, reached out to take Yun'er, and said:

"What makes you say that? I only have three children now, and all of them are in pain. "

Seeing Yang Guang hug Yun'er, Chen Zhen smiled slightly and said:

"Although Yun'er is not as noble as Ha'er, her body is weak, not comparable to the crown prince or Ha'er. Your Majesty should pay more attention to her."

Hearing her mention her identity, I couldn't help but feel nervous, glancing at her a few times. Everyone knows that although Ha'er is my direct disciple, she came from outside the palace, and her background is unknown. There are countless people secretly guessing her background, if it wasn't for Yang Guang's favor, it would have been rumored long ago.

At this moment, when Chen Zhen mentioned her identity, it was no different from giving the imperial concubines a reminder. As soon as she finished her sentence, everyone looked at her with slight disdain.

Although I was secretly displeased, my face remained calm. With a faint smile, I swept my eyes over the crowd and said:

"Little sister can also eat Ha'er's vinegar. Well, let's order the inner hall, all of the women and children there must be equal, not only Yun'er, no matter which sister in the palace gives birth to the next generation, the princess will do as this example is, and the prince will also receive the same treatment as the crown prince."

Although there was nothing for them to say, when they saw that I treated the children of others with such kindness, they could not help but praise me.

"Regardless of which child it is, I am their mother, so naturally, I treat them the same. How could I be biased because of a different birth mother? Right now, His Majesty is at the Six Palaces. My sisters should do their best to serve him and help him spread his influence. "

Seeing me change the subject so casually, Chen Zhen felt a little unhappy, but his face was full of smiles, and he said:

"After all, the Empress is the mother of a nation. Her heart is open and all her sisters have received kindness. If you're as petty as Zhuan'er and wish to court His Majesty, then with her unparalleled beauty, we might not even be able to meet His Majesty."

Chen Zhen smiled innocently, but in my eyes, his smile was like a cold breeze, and his back was slightly cold. Others who heard him thought that she was praising me and agreed with him, but I understood what she meant and looked at Yang Guang beside me.

Yang Guang frowned, he glanced at me, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

After all, all the concubines in the harem are proud of receiving his favor. Only I have never pleased him, and outsiders would call him the emperor and treat him as a guest.

Yes, he never stayed at Yongan Palace, and I never asked him to stay, as if some sort of tacit agreement had been reached.

Such a strange tacit understanding, as long as someone is careful, there will always be doubts, and Chen is not only two purposes, one is to test the relationship between me and Yang Guang to what extent, the other is to take the opportunity to mock me for being unlovable.

With her many years of experience serving by my side, she probably understands my personality. Once she has a grudge with Yang Guang, the two of us will always be in a stalemate, and her words will be tinged with provocation.

"Little sister Chen Concubine is joking. Who doesn't know that in the imperial harem, little sister is the favorite of His Majesty?" Merely by looking at your purple crystal ring, you can tell that it is unique in the world. If it wasn't for the person with the highest point of heart, how could His Majesty have bestowed such a rare item? "

I swept a glance at her fingers and everyone looked over at me. Although the ring was small, it was incredibly exquisite, and a completely green jade butterfly was standing on top of the crystal clear amethyst ring. Under the moonlight, the purple color reflected the green, and around the hand appeared a faint blue luster, making the ten fingers look more like jade, tender and long.

When everyone saw her clearly, they all shot gazes of jealousy at Su Ke Er who had been silent for a long time, and she slowly walked over. She raised her cup and charmingly said:

"His Majesty, esteemed empress, and elder sister Chen Concubine are only happy to talk. You're just going to sit there and do nothing when you call us over?"

Yang Guang smiled on the surface, took the wine from Su Ke Er's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said:

"That's right. It's really too boring to have such a rare Mid-Autumn night. Just treat this wine as punishing me for not thinking properly."

I laughed coldly in my heart. Indeed, there were people who could not sit still, Chen Zhong, you only know how to be aggressive towards me, but I do not know how many people are jealous of you.

Since the harem has dozens of concubines now, how can I allow your nephew to stand alone? Therefore, he forced a smile on his face, took a deep sniff of the rich cinnamon fragrance in the air, and said:

"Your Majesty, the fragrance of the osmanthus is overwhelming and the aroma of the wine is intoxicating. How can there be no joy or no dancing?"

Yang Guang nodded his head and was about to invite the Le Mansion's dancers over, but I immediately smiled and pointed to the crowd.

"It's the same thing every time. There's nothing new. All the younger sisters are carefully chosen from all over the place to enter the palace. Which one of them doesn't have a unique skill in their hands?" How about we have each of them display their abilities, and let this concubine take the opportunity to witness the abilities of all the concubines, wouldn't that be better? "

"The empress's words make sense. I also have the same intention. Who would like to help with the wine?" Yang Guang said with a look of anticipation.

Everyone was eager to give it a try, but it was the first time dancing in front of the emperor. Furthermore, everyone was present, afraid that they would be ridiculed.

I threw a look at the distant Yi Yun. She immediately understood, stood up, picked up a yellow dress, and stepped forward. She gave a slight bow and said shyly,

"This concubine is willing to dance to liven up the mood."

Yang Guang frowned and asked:

"Which palace are you from? "How come I don't remember?"

With both eyes cutting the water, her hair was decorated with a single layer of silver and her goose-yellow clothes. Under the bright and pure moonlight, it reflected a light luster that was like spring water, and as the autumn wind blew, her clothes moved with the wind, making her appear even more graceful.

"Chenqie's beauty, Xue, resides in Gui Bao and Wen Lan Palace. His Majesty has never visited Bao He Palace, so he thinks that chenqie will be born today." Yi Yun is neither humble nor haughty, full of emotion. His voice is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, melodious and pleasant to listen to. It is not in vain for me to teach him for many days.

Nanny said that if one wanted to gain a firm foothold in the harem, only having a high position was not enough, they had to cultivate their own power. Otherwise, a person's power would be insufficient, even if they were respected empress, it would still be difficult to defend against the power of the harem.

Yang Guang's eyes were filled with a layer of stunning brilliance. After looking at the pure and cute girl in front of him for a while, Fang Yuan teasingly said:

"Good, you can dance for a bit. If you dance well, I will reward you for it. If it's not good, I will punish you as well."

Yi Yun shyly replied, then walked to an open area in the osmanthus forest. Everyone had their own thoughts as they watched Lun Yun dance.

Under the moonlight, there was a light yellow ray of light that was as soft as a willow tree. Under the hazy light of the moonlight and the lanterns intertwined together, the slim figure seemed to have transformed into a dream-like dance.

Her graceful figure was flowing like the clouds and flowing water. She raised her eyes and raised her jade sleeves to bring about the wind. With the fragrance of the sweet laurel, she lightly walked under the moonlight.

A long silver earring hung below her ear. Along with the enchanting steps of the dance, it produced a series of melodious ringing sounds, blending perfectly with the joy of the silk bamboo. It was extremely beautiful.

I looked sideways at Yang Guang, he had already become intoxicated, it was exactly as I had expected. His heart was originally filled with joy, but somehow, a trace of disappointment surfaced in his heart.

At the end of the dance, with a delicate waist and face like a hibiscus, she slowly walked to Yang Guang, bowed, and said:

"Your Majesty, seeing Chenqie's dance, should I reward you or should I punish you?"

Finishing, she slightly raised her eyes, facing Yang Guang's pulse, her face slightly blushed, looking very shy.

"Good!" Good! When a beauty dances, I thought Chang'e had gone down to the mortal realm to reward her! " Yang Guang left his seat and took a few steps forward to personally support Yi Yun. He then took advantage of the situation and grabbed her waist before returning to the upper seat.

Chen Zhen had been sitting next to Yang Guang, but now there was another Yi Yun. The three of them were sitting together, making it even more crowded. Seeing Yang Guang glance at him, Chen Zhen quickly got up awkwardly and went back to his seat, looking unsettled.

"What's the beauty's name?" Yang Guang intimately asked the girl in his arms.

"Chenqie sleeps with you." Lun Yun replied daintily.

"Yi Yun, a good name. How about we bestow you Yun Kexin?" Yang Guang said with affection.

"Chenqie thanks Your Majesty!" Lun Yun stood up and bowed respectfully.

I gently raised my eyes to look at the crowd. Chen Zhen's face was tense, while Lady Xuanhua remained calm and collected, while Su Ke-er was still flirting with him, as if she was gloating over his misfortune.

Some of the other concubines were envious, while others were regretful. There were even some who were eager to give it a try, waiting for Yang Guang to open his mouth again, there were probably more than ten people who would jump out to dance.

Any woman who could enter the palace certainly had extraordinary abilities. There were probably many that were better than Lun Yun in dancing. As for me, I have already achieved my goal. How can I let other people seize the limelight for me at this moment?

Thus, he smiled and said:

"Congratulations, your Majesty, for the addition of yet another newcomer."

Yang Guang looked at me and made a 'oh' sound. With a complicated look in his eyes, he quickly turned his face away and continued talking to Yi Yun.

I was about to tell Yang Guang to leave early, when I saw Mrs. Xuanhua say with a smile:

"Yun Gu dances, the entire Guiyuan Garden has been darkened by the comparison, but your concubine looks at it, it seems a little familiar." After saying that, she gave me a shallow look.

"Oh? What does Empress Xuanhua have to say about chenqie's dance? Chenqie will listen attentively. " Lun Yun smiled sweetly. Two dimples appeared on her face, making her look extremely adorable.

"Where is it? The Yun and Yu Dances can only keep me in the dust. How can I give you advice?" It's just that I feel that the dance style is somewhat familiar. " Mrs. Xuan Hua said.

"Aunt's words reminded chenqie of the past. Back then, the empress relied on her dancing, cloth-clad clothes to bring down the entirety of the country. Back then, it was chenqie who played the guqin for her." Chen Zhen lightly smiled and said.

"Oh, since that's the case, then chenqie should recall that this is indeed quite similar to the empress's dancing style." "My sisters have not been in the palace for very long, and have not seen the Empress in her prime. That is what a devastatingly beautiful woman looks like. No matter how much you try, you just have to put on an act."

Lun Yun's expression changed as he looked at me. My heart sank as I didn't expect the usually weak and sickly Madam Xuan Hua to speak in such a sharp manner. Although she was praising me, she was actually reprimanding Lun Yun.

Although everyone has never seen me dance before, they should have heard of me in the outside world. In addition to what Madam Xuan Hua and Chen Huan had said, they all looked at Yi Yun with disdain.

"So it's just an imitation, what's so special about that?"

"That's right …"

These words were naturally heard by Yang Guang, he glanced at them unhappily, and everyone immediately went silent. There were a few who wanted to imitate Ri Yun and dance with him, but now they had completely lost interest, afraid that they would accidentally offend Yang Guang's two concubines.

"How can chenqie's dance compare with the empress's? "There's no need to say that they look alike. Lady Xuanhua must be joking." Lun Yun calmed himself down and said in a deep voice.

After this change, although she was initially a little nervous, she quickly dealt with it. She was quite quick-witted, I did not make a mistake.

Su Ke Er suddenly giggled and said:

"Since both Big Sister Xuanhua and Big Sister Chen Concubine say that Little Sister Yun's dance style is similar to Empress Dowager's, may esteemed wangfei condescend to dance for a bit so that the younger sisters can broaden their horizons." "When little sister was at the manor, she had already heard of the Empress's jade-green Wu. At that time, she was just lost in thought and could not be seen. If she had the luck to see it with her own eyes, it would have been a long-cherished wish of this concubine."

"That's right, chenqie has heard of it as well. I've never seen it before. I hope the Empress can grant my wish." All of my concubines chimed in, looking at me expectantly.

I didn't know which side Su Ke Er was on. Although her words cleverly shifted the awkwardness that Yi Yun had just now, it still pushed me in front of others.

In my current situation, is there a need to dance to gain a favor? No matter how beautiful the dance was, if it wasn't for the person she loved to watch, she would have lost her original mood.

It wasn't clear whether I was an enemy or a friend, so I could only return a smile to Su Ke Er and said:

"Sister Su, please do not listen to those rumors. My dance is not worth mentioning. Furthermore, it is already late, so I am a little tired."

I looked at the sleeping Harry in the nurse's arms and said,

"It's cold at night. Chenqie will take Ha'er back to rest first. Your Majesty, you still have to go to court early tomorrow. Please focus on the dragon's physique."

Yang Guang looked at the sky, and saw that the full moon had hidden itself in the thin layer of clouds, gradually turning hazy. Yang Guang looked at the sky, and the full moon had hidden itself in the thin layer of clouds, gradually becoming hazy.

"The fog is up. Let's disperse." With her hand still in his, Yang Guang beauty did not linger for long as she waved her hand and said.

The girls were extremely disappointed that they were unable to show their talents in front of Yang Guang. They could only watch as Yang Guang took over Yi Yun's arms and left with envy and jealousy in his heart.

As for me, I also looked at the two of them with a disappointed expression, unable to tell if I was happy or sad.

After a long while, he heard Chen Zhuo whispering from the side:

"The Empress must have put in a lot of effort, right?" Yun Gui's dance was indeed moving the Emperor. It's a pity, but with the Emperor in his arms, would he accept the Empress's kindness? "

I ignored the ridicule in her tone. I was indeed the one who taught Yi Yuan. Now that she was favored by me, it was within my expectations. Thus, I indifferently said,

"It is my duty to share the Emperor's worries."

"Oh? Why didn't chenqie have such good fortune? " Chen Zhen said with slight disdain.

"Chen Concubine's fortune is great. Otherwise, how could she bear the burden of being bestowed a noble title?" I said sarcastically. The sound wasn't loud, it was just loud enough for the girls who hadn't left yet to hear, and it happened to be heard by Yang Guang who had already left.

The group of people started chuckling and some of them even bent over while covering their mouths. What happened in the palace could never be hidden from others. The things that happened in the Crown Prince's Palace would probably be known by the entire palace.

Chen was stabbed to the sore spot, his face slightly flushed, his lips moved, but he couldn't do anything to me.

I didn't want to talk to her, so I took Yi Xiu, turned around and left.

That night, Yang Guansan stayed at Wen Lan Palace.
