On the Qiqiao Festival, Ayu woke up a little early. She opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside. When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, she walked down from the bed.

The gauze took off, and she stood behind the screen in an underwear, revealing her white and slender legs below. Ayu frowned and looked at the clothes Zhou Qi brought with her, and frowned slightly:

"Change another one."

Zhou Qi was surprised: "Why? Today's Qiqiao, the emperor may come, so he should wear more brilliantly."

She held a rouge red palace outfit in her hand, with a light gauze on her skirt, and a peach petal was carefully outlined with colorful lines. When the clothes were just delivered, Ayu's eyes lit up, and she obviously liked it very much.

Ayu shrugged, helpless: "But there is still Empress Shu today."

The emperor rewarded her with a full-length mirror. She looked at herself carefully through the bronze mirror. Her cheeks were rosy and her color was very good. She turned her head and said to Zhou Qi, "This is the first time I have seen Concubine Shu. It is too conspicuous. Wouldn't it be her eye?"

"It's better for the master to think it right."

Ayu suddenly raised her hand and pointed to one: "Just it, it's hot today, and the blue one looks refreshing."

Zhou Qi paused slightly and looked at her in surprise. Ayu looked at her. Zhou Qi covered her lips and smiled secretly, and changed her clothes to her.

Ayu was born well, and this set of clothes was carefully made by the palace maids. There is no reason to look bad when worn, but it is not as conspicuous as the rouge red, but it adds a bit of astringent and gentle charm.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Ayu personally picked Zhi Buyao: "This is what the emperor rewards, and it is most suitable to take him to see the emperor."

When I put it on, the hanging tassel jade beads were reflected on the woman's cheeks like light-colored water droplets, shining brightly.

Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "Master is so bad."

Ayu twisted the tip of her nose before saying, "Let's go, don't delay paying you."

She thought about it and brought Zhou Qi with her side today.

Kunhegong was as lively as usual, but when Ayu walked in, there was a moment of silence, and everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Meiren Xu.

Meiren Xu's face looked as usual, but if you look closely, you will find that the smile on her face was a little stiff. She has been favoring blue since she was a child. After entering the palace, she was still quite high in the palace. Others have always been able to avoid it.

Yu Cairen specially chose this color of clothes today. Apart from squeezing her, Meiren Xu couldn't think of any other reason.

She was right, Ayu was deliberately targeting her.

Ayu sat down with a soft smile, and the gentleness that her eyebrows inadvertently ejaculated was three-point similar to that of Meiren Xu. It was not that her posture was more beautiful than before, but it was indeed disgusting enough, especially the person involved.

Meiren Xu always thought she was so calm, but today she realized that she had always looked down on herself too much in the past.

Someone deliberately imitated you. Even though she knew it was a fake, her posture was better than herself. This situation made people feel bleeding. The fingertips of the beautiful woman pinched the cup turned white, as if she wanted to crush the cup.

In this way, the woman in front of her was still unforgivable, and raised her hand and stroked Bu Yao shyly:

"I have been thinking about Bu Yao, a few days ago, a long time ago. Fortunately, the people from Shangyi Bureau sent this set of clothes yesterday, so I was able to wear this Bu Yao with what I want."

"Sister, do you think my sister looks good today?"

Ayu covered her face with one hand, smiling shyly and gentlely, as if she really wanted to know the answer from Mei Ren Xu, and the beauty's eyes seemed to be shining.

At this time, except for Zhuo Ping, there were Meiren Xu and Ayu, who were the most popular among them. Ayu was also a favorite. Zhuo Ping seemed to be unable to see the situation while holding the tea, and no one else dared to say anything more.

However, there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Ayu.

In this harem, it is common to hide knives in words, but it is rare to laugh like this to pretend to disgust others.

But no one can say that she did something wrong. Didn’t she say that she was wearing this way to match the Saint Gift Bu Yao?

Meiren Xu laughed and said something with difficulty:

"The emperor's wise eyes can recognize the beads. How could the sister not look good if she can enter the emperor's eyes?"

Ayu's face was so embarrassed that she was dyed red, and her ears were red: "Sister, stop talking, I'm so embarrassed."

Beauty Xu pulled the corner of her mouth, unable to laugh, and her eyes were cold.

Will this person be ashamed of? This is the biggest joke Xu Meiren has ever heard in her life.

While speaking, Chen Ping walked in slowly. As soon as she came in, she saw Ayu and suddenly chuckled: "Yu Cairen is so eye-catching today."

Ayu snatched a handkerchief and said, "Sister Chen is just like a joke on me like Meiren Xu."

Chen Ping was as arrogant as ever. After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the people in the palace. Even Ayu didn't hear what she said, he leaned lazily in his position.

Ayu's eyes moved slightly, she twisted her handkerchief, and her smile became more gentle, making Meiren Xu feel uncomfortable when she saw her opposite.

After a moment, the queen came out and today's greeting officially began.

The queen knew what happened here and was not surprised by Yu Cairen's clothes. After all, there was something more important today. She paused, with a hint of sadness on her face, and said:

"Today is Qiqiao Festival, and it is also the birthday of Shufei. This year, Shufei is pregnant and should have done a lot, but Quzhou is difficult and difficult. As concubines in the harem, we should solve the problem for the emperor. Therefore, this year's Qiqiao Festival is simple."

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they always bow their heads to the point.

Before asking for peace, the queen said, "Don't forget to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Shu in the Palace of Supreme Harmony tonight."

The State Banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is also held here. If other concubines could celebrate their birthdays here, they would probably be overjoyed.

But the Singsheng is Shufei, who is specially organized on her birthday every year. This Qiqiao Festival gives people a simple feeling.

Ayu didn't think deeply and just turned around and left. She accidentally saw Zhou Baolin's face turned pale. Even though she tried hard to cover it up, she couldn't help but gently caress her lower abdomen.

Touch the lower abdomen gently?

There seemed to be a thunder in Ayu's mind, and she felt tighter. She immediately withdrew her gaze and took Zhou Qi out of Kunhe Palace as if nothing had happened.

It was not until he walked a long way that Ayu stopped and took a deep breath.

Zhou Qi looked at her blankly, looked around her eyes, and lowered her voice: "Master, what's wrong?"

"How long has it been since Zhou Baolin served in bed?"

"The emperor hasn't entered the harem for a long time, and it's more than a month." Zhou Qi was puzzled, but she still answered seriously.

Ayu stroked her forehead gently and remembered Zhou Baolin's face just now.

If she guessed it was true, then Zhou Baolin must have known her true situation. She should be careful on weekdays. She had hidden it for so long and had no flaws. How could she be so careless today?

Ayu believed that there was more than one person in the center of the palace. Although Zhou Baolin's actions were not obvious, they might not have fallen into the eyes of others.

After pausing for a while, Ayu turned around and looked to the west, where there were Concubine Shu’s Ganyu Palace and Zhou Baolin’s Ninghua Tower.

If it is true as she thought, then the pregnant women in the harem are all daughters of the Zhou family.

This is definitely not good news for the harem people, and it may not be for the Zhou family.

Even if they are a mother and compatriots, there is still the possibility of a feud. What's more, the two girls of the Zhou family are not born in the same room, so who doesn't want to be the grandfather of the future prince?

Ayu didn't dare to think about it anymore. What she dared not think about the least was that as Zhou Baolin's closest person in the harem, did Concubine Shu know about this?

She patted her head lightly and frowned and said uneasy:

"I think the harem will not be peaceful during this period."

Zhou Baolin's pale face made her feel a little palpitations. There was no coincidence in this harem, and it must have been no accident.

She said this nonsense, which made Zhou Qi a little confused. She hesitated and did not ask a question, but said:

"As long as we don't involve us, don't care what she does."

Ayu nodded and threw away the matter and stopped thinking about it.

After all, all this was her assumption, and there was no news of Zhou Baolin being pregnant, and it might not be as she thought.

As night gradually came, Ayu was a little absent-minded this day, obviously still thinking about that.

It was dusk at night, so Zhou Qi brought her a cloak. When she headed to the Taihe Palace, she couldn't help but leaned closer to Ayu's ear and said, "It would be great if there was a ceremonial guard."

She remembered the ceremonial guards that Rongpin rode on in the past. They were both majestic and would not be distorted by the wind.

Ayu pointed at the tip of her nose: "You are becoming more and more daring to think about it."

Who doesn’t know that the emperor is so stingy that this position will not be easily promoted.

Ayu has no idea of ​​getting promoted again in the near future.

Zhou Qi also understood the truth, she tilted her head and stopped talking.

There were many people sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When Ayu arrived, the queen was already inside. She was taken to her seat. She looked at the desk in front of her, the fruit plate and the food, all of which were exquisite.

It seems that the queen did not handle the matter at will just because of simple procedures.

Yes, the queen has always made people unable to catch any mistakes.

Ayu swept the hall without any trace, but did not find Zhou Baolin's figure, and her eyes paused slightly.

Zhou Baolin has always been here to know the politeness and greet her every day. How come she hasn't arrived yet when she is a bit special today?

She thought for a while, reached out to Zhou Qi and whispered a few times.

Zhou Qi looked puzzled, but nodded obediently.

When Ayu was about to drink a cup of tea, Zhou Baolin came late. Her face looked a little bad, and her lowered body and soft smile were a little weak.

The queen cared for her a few words, and Zhou Baolin said, "Thank you for your care. I was dirty on the way and rushed back to change my body."

"I see that your face doesn't look good. After the banquet, don't forget to hire an imperial physician."

When Ayu saw Zhou Baolin's face paused, she lowered her eyes and was extremely gentle: "I will remember it in my heart and will definitely not forget it."

Zhou Baolin sat in the seat and couldn't help but frowned.
