But after sitting for half a cup of tea, someone from the Empress Dowager's palace came to spread the word that the Empress Dowager had something to discuss with Xiao Jianzhang.

Xiao Jianzhang got up and left. Not long after Xiao Jianzhang left, the little eunuch beside him came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wants to borrow your mother's phoenix to use, so she asked me to come and get it."

"Borrow the phoenix?" Xia Ruolan was taken aback, the phoenix was Xiao Jianzhang's gift to her at the beginning, so what is the reason why the mother borrowed the phoenix later?

"The empress dowager said that taking any medicine for headaches and irritability has no effect recently. Only listening to Concubine Liu's piano can calm her down. It's just that Concubine Liu doesn't have a good piano. Let the slaves come over and lend it to Concubine Liu for a while."

"What did the queen mother say? Long live also agreed?"

"Yes, Long Live also agreed!"

Xia Ruolan felt cold in her heart, she turned her face away and told the palace servants, "Since it's Long Live's order, take the Qin and send it to Concubine Liu, this Qin will be rewarded to Concubine Liu."

The little eunuch took the Qin and hurried back to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom. Xiao Jianzhang was talking to the Queen Mother when he saw the little eunuch take the Qin and his face froze. The piano is rewarded to Concubine Liu."

"What?" Xiao Jianzhang almost stood up.

Concubine Liu ignored his ugly face and reached out to pick up the piano, Xiao Jianzhang suppressed his anger, "Concubine Liu likes the piano, and I don't need this old one, I just got a guqin recently, Wang Shanxi, you have someone pick it up and give it to Concubine Liu Come on, take this old violin away!"

Wang Shanxi stepped forward to take the phoenix, and the little eunuch went back to get the qin non-stop.

These words soon reached Xia Ruolan's ears again, she just smiled lightly, she was really heartbroken after handing over Fengqin, but now she is relieved.

Anyway, his hands are useless, so why keep the Qin?

The reason is that only newcomers laugh, and that piano is just a memory. She and Xiao Jianzhang will face a brand new life in the future. She cannot live in the memory, and neither will Xiao Jianzhang.

In this case, why is she still struggling?

Xiao Jianzhang kept a gloomy face when he left the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Wang Shanxi saw that his hands were clenched tightly. It was obvious that he was very unhappy now.

He lowered his voice to persuade: "Lanzai, do you want to go to your empress..."

"No need!" Xiao Jianzhang waved his sleeves in a cold voice.

"But the empress is pregnant now..."

Xiao Jianzhang was silent for a while, and turned towards Xia Ruolan's bedroom. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he heard laughter and laughter from inside, and Xia Ruolan's silver bell-like laughter came very clearly.

Xiao Jianzhang's complexion became more and more ugly. He was extremely familiar with Xia Ruolan. Such casual laughter showed that she was very happy, but she really didn't care.

What's in your heart, don't you care? Since she doesn't care, what is there to worry about?

He is the son of heaven, the king of a country, who he wants, who he favors, doesn't it all depend on his mood?

Xiao Jianzhang did not enter, but turned around, went back to the imperial study and sat for a while, he told Wang Shanxi Momo, "Liu Ling'er is a virtuous and virtuous concubine!"

Liu Ling'er was naturally beaming with concubine concubine, the next day the queen mother specially hosted a banquet to celebrate, Xia Ruolan also attended the dinner as a queen, she appeared with a big belly and was supported by the palace servants, and glanced at Xiao Jianzhang who was sitting with Liu Linger indifferently, Yingying One bow: "The concubine has met the emperor and the queen mother!"

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to sit down, but she didn't sit with Xiao Jianzhang. The Empress Dowager attended at the same time. It was obviously disrespectful to the Empress to let the imperial concubine accompany the Emperor, but Xia Ruolan did not argue and sat down with a faint smile.

During the banquet, cups of wine were intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless. Xia Ruolan always had a smile on her face. Seeing the smile on her face, Xiao Jianzhang felt that it was very dazzling, and he personally arranged dishes for Liu Linger.

The emperor was overwhelmed by Liu Ling'er's flattery, and couldn't help but cast a provocative glance at Xia Ruolan. Xia Ruolan's expression remained unchanged, and she actually smiled: "Long live is really kind to the concubine, I'm so envious of my palace!"

Her eyes were full of smiles, which did not seem to be fake, and Xiao Jianzhang felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

After the dinner was over, Xia Ruolan got up to bid farewell, with a respectful and gentle attitude, and after getting into the sedan chair, she lowered the curtain and leaned back, feeling exhausted and flustered.

Seeing Xiao Jianzhang and Liu Linger so affectionate, it is impossible to say that they are not sad, but she just thinks of the scene she experienced at the beginning and thinks it is acceptable.

Back in the bedroom, Xia Ruolan stroked her stomach and thought for a while before falling asleep.
