Chapter 118: Random Mandarin Ducks
With Du Qianzhi's company, Du Ruosheng is indeed not so dull and boring, and with people around him who can speak to him, even his mood is happy.
And the fact that Du Qianzhi came to the palace naturally quickly spread to the ears of various palaces, including the Empress Dowager Lu and the noble concubine Fang Lanzhi.
Today, Fang Lanzhi also came to the Huaqing Palace to say goodbye.
"The concubine has seen the queen's mother, the emperor cares about the mother, and knows that the mother misses Dongchuan, so she invited the queen's eldest sister to live in the palace.
"This must be the eldest princess of Dongchuan, she is really a beautiful woman like the queen mother!" As soon as Fang Lanzhi entered the Huaqing Palace, she flattered endlessly.
Du Qianzhi was not familiar with her, and naturally she didn't know what was going on between Du Ruosheng and her, seeing that she was so kind, she treated her politely.
"The mother praised it falsely."
"Where, I don't know if Niangniang's eldest sister is married?" Fang Lanzhi suddenly asked.
"Not yet, what's the matter, is the concubine going to make decisions for the sister of the palace?" Du Ruosheng's face was slightly stunned, and he replied one step ahead of Du Qianzhi.
"Niangniang misunderstood, the concubine is just curious." Fang Lanzhi was bored with herself.
"Sheng'er." Du Qianzhi naturally didn't want to see him, Du Ruosheng whispered to the side because of her dispute with others.
Du Ruosheng gave her a look back, signaling her to rest assured, and then said: "Concubine, let's care more about yourself, don't forget what this palace once told you." As he spoke, he whispered in her ear: "Whether this palace can trust you or not depends on what you do, do you understand?" ”
Fang Lanzhi was already full of anger in her heart at this time, but she still looked peaceful and docile on the surface, "What Niangniang said about the concubines is deeply remembered in my heart, and Niangniang can rest assured." ”
"Okay, I hope you can do what you say, this palace will wait and see." Du Ruosheng straightened up and said with a light smile.
"The concubine has already said hello, so she won't bother the queen and the eldest sister to catch up, and will retire first." Fang Lanzhi bowed and left Huaqing Palace.
After the scene just now, Du Qianzhi knew that Du Ruosheng and the departed Fang Lanzhi seemed to be a pair of rivals, and they thought about it, in this palace inner garden, there was only endless cunning and scheming, where did they come from, but according to the situation just now, his sister was not at a disadvantage, and Du Qianzhi was not so worried.
"Ruosheng, this person is just kind-faced, it's better to provoke her less, and don't cause unnecessary trouble to yourself." Du Qianzhi still couldn't help but remind.
Du Ruosheng smiled helplessly, "Sister, even if you don't provoke others, others will come to bully you, this is the rule of survival in the harem, in the past, I was too cowardly, thinking that as long as I kept to myself and did my best, I could be safe, but after all, it was just a wish." ”
How can Du Qianzhi understand the sinister hearts of people in this harem, now that he thinks about it, he chose to replace her and go to the Wan Dynasty, it is really right, if it is his sister, I don't know how far they will be able to play and play in the palm of their hands.
Only then did Fang Lanzhi send him away, and then someone came with news.
"Queen Mother, the Queen Mother knows that the eldest princess of Dongchuan has come from afar, and specially invites you and the eldest princess to have lunch in Shoukang Palace." A person who looked like a chief eunuch walked into the Huaqing palace to report.
"This palace knows, you go down first, and this palace will go when you are ready." Du Ruosheng replied and retired the person.
Then, Du Qianzhi noticed that Du Ruosheng's expression became solemn, "Ruosheng, what's wrong?" ”
It's just a meal, but Ruosheng's appearance looks very difficult.
"It's nothing," Du Ruosheng shook his head slightly, signaling that it was okay, and then said.
Du Qianzhi is innocent, Du Ruosheng doesn't want to implicate her, it's good to know some things in her heart.
Seeing that Du Ruosheng didn't say much, Du Qianzhi didn't ask more, but for Lu Lan, Du Qianzhi was a little interested, and had long heard that the Empress Dowager of the Wan Dynasty was different from other harem concubines, and Yan Qinghan's ascension to the throne was indispensable to her credit.
The two came to Shoukang Palace together, entered the palace, the meals and dishes had been placed on the table, and the Queen Mother slowly walked into the palace accompanied by Rong Wan.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." Du Ruosheng said with a hand.
Du Qianzhi followed closely and said softly: "Du Qianzhi of the Dongchuan royal family has seen the Queen Mother. "New Town
"No need to be polite, since you're here, sit down." Lu Lan looked kind, with a smile in her eyes.
However, in Du Ruosheng's opinion, her expression is just a coy posture of smiling and not smiling.
Du Qianzhi was originally going to sit next to Du Ruosheng, but before she could sit down, Lu Lan opened her mouth and called her to her side.
"Sit down beside the mourners."
Lu Shi opened his mouth, Du Qianzhi knew that he couldn't refuse, although he didn't want to, he could only do it next to Lu Lan, and Du Ruosheng paid attention to Lu Lan's every movement, she wanted to see what she wanted to do.
Du Qianzhi sat next to Lu Lan, Lu Lan smiled even more happily, and even reached out to hold Du Qianzhi's hands.
"You two sisters are really more beautiful than the other, the mourning family thinks that you are a little more stable and elegant than the queen, and the mourning family likes it very much." Lu Lan was smiling, and Du Qianzhi naturally wanted to laugh with her, but this sounded like she was praising the two sisters on the surface, but in fact, it was embarrassing Du Ruosheng again.
Du Ruosheng looked at Lu Lan's smug look, and only felt ridiculous, did she pay attention to her sister, maybe it was too stupid.
"The Queen Mother is in love, and my sister married into the Wan Dynasty when she was still young, so it is inevitable that she was a little pampered and willful in the past, and I hope that the Queen Mother can bear with me more." Du Qianzhi said, slowly breaking free of Lu Lan's hand holding her, and the smile on Lu Lan's face gradually solidified with her action.
is so ignorant, for Lu Lan, this point between the two sisters is really carved out of the same mold.
"Queen Mother, the food should be cold, let's eat first." Du Ruosheng, who was sitting on the opposite side, cleared the siege for Du Qianzhi.
Fortunately, Lu Lan was not embarrassed, nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and the two of them also moved the chopsticks.
Du Ruosheng was really uncomfortable eating this meal, she could have had a good meal with Sister A's mood and beauty, but this was good, but it was completely destroyed by Lu Lan, but Du Ruosheng still far underestimated Lu Lan's thoughts, and what she did next made Du Ruosheng even more dumbfounded.
After the meal, several people came to the main hall, the queen mother gave a seat, and the two chatted with her in the palace.
Since he and Sister A entered this Shoukang Palace, Lu Lan's eyes have never left Du Qianzhi, and Du Ruosheng is also protecting Du Qianzhi behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Queen, how old are you?" Lu Lan asked.
"Two years old, this year should be twenty-two." Du Ruosheng returned.
After hearing this, Lu Lan bowed slightly, and said: "It's the same age as Yan'er, and it's almost the year of Huaxin, it's not bad." ”
As soon as Du Ruosheng heard this, he understood that Lu Lan wanted to match his sister and Yan Qinghan, and Du Ruosheng was also extremely helpless about what Lu Lan did.
Du Ruosheng can understand, Du Qianzhi naturally understands, hearing Lu Lan's emotion, she was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the emperor's status is noble, and now there is a queen and countless harem beauties, it must be harmonious, Qianzhi does not dare to climb in vain." ”
"Haha, you are scared like this before the mourning family says anything, but if you can really become Yan'er's imperial concubine, the mourning family can save a lot of heart." When Lu Lan said this, she also looked at Du Ruosheng, and it really gave her a headache to Du Ruosheng and Fang Lanzhi.
At the beginning, he only specified that Dongchuan was friendly, but he did not ask which princess it was, but now that he thinks about it, he should know more about them at that time, and it will not be so abrupt, causing today's situation, thinking of this, Lu Lan is unwilling in his heart.
Originally, I wanted to find someone who could help me, but I didn't expect to find such a troublesome master as Du Ruosheng.
However, Du Ruosheng has already seen her mind thoroughly, and wants to pull her sister on your thief ship, thinking beautifully, how would she know that Du Qianzhi is also a righteous and awe-inspiring character.
Seeing that Lu Lan said so bluntly, Du Qianzhi simply expressed her attitude, "Qianzhi is afraid that she will live up to her expectations, Qianzhi already has a heart, not a person of ten thousand dynasties, and I hope that Niang Niang will be fulfilled." ”
As soon as the words came out, I was so surprised that not only Lu Lan, but also Du Ruosheng, my sister already had someone to admire, it seems that if it wasn't for Lu Lan today, I wouldn't know.
Although Lu Lan didn't know whether it was true or not, she also understood that Du Qianzhi was rejecting herself, and her face was slightly displeased, and she was not as happy as before: "Even so, the mourning family is not good at beating mandarin ducks, but they just lost such a good opportunity in vain, and the mourning family hopes that you will regret it in the future!" ”
"Qianzhi can stay with his beloved for a lifetime, and he has no regrets in this life."
Du Qianzhi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, Du Ruosheng showed an appreciative gaze on the side, worthy of being the sister of his own mother, this time he didn't make Lu Lan angry enough.
The two of them made Lu Lan angry, but they knew how to accept it when they saw it, and seeing that Lu Lan was getting more and more impatient, they retreated and left Shoukang Palace.
