Emperor Yuanhe's head wind attack was menacing, and he failed to go to court for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, the Tong family finally couldn't sit still, but when the guard of honor arrived at the Shangde Palace, they were stopped by Concubine Lan.

The two most noble women in the harem looked at each other silently for a moment, and the Tong family smiled slightly, quietly lowering their eyes and touching their luxurious armor. Concubine Lan gritted her teeth, and reluctantly bowed slightly, her attitude was extremely perfunctory, and the Tong family was used to it, and she didn't care much about it.

"The emperor was tossed by a head wind attack last night, and then he took the medicine and finally fell asleep. The concubine knew that the queen mother had not been able to see the emperor for the past few days, but everything should be focused on the dragon body, and the queen mother still didn't go in to disturb the emperor's sleep. ”

Concubine Lan has always been sharp-tongued, and it sounds like she is thinking about the emperor, but she is secretly mocking the queen, and she really wants to go up and slap her and teach her what it means to be humble.

The discord between the emperor and the queen is no secret in the harem, and over the years, Concubine Lan has been favored and has repeatedly defended the emperor, making her more and more wanton.

The queen seems to have little meaning to the emperor except for this title and the forces behind it, plus the two imperial concubines, the crown prince and King An, and the queen seems to have the same idea. The emperor and queen are so inseparable, respecting each other like guests.

This time, the emperor had a severe head attack, and the queen only came with the imperial doctor at the beginning, and then these days except for people to send some things to show concern, I have not come to see it again.

The emperor did the same, he summoned Concubine Lan and Concubine Shu to serve the sick, and several other concubines who were favored on weekdays came to visit and talked for a while. Even the nobles who have never been eye-catching have seen it, but they have never mentioned the queen.

Therefore, what Concubine Lan said at this moment can be described as a pearl for the queen.

Tong stared at Lan Guifei and suddenly let out a few chuckles of unknown meaning. Lan Guifei was stunned for a moment, and saw that Tong suddenly lowered her face and said: "What Lan Guifei said is good, everything should be based on the dragon body." Since this is the case, Concubine Lan will not have to come to serve the sick in the future. ”

After saying that, Tong Shi signaled the little eunuch at the door to open the door, although De'an wanted to stop it, but he was stunned by Tong's gaze, and he froze in place and did not dare to make any more movements.

Lan Guifei turned her head sharply and said resentfully, "Why are you ......?"

Tong's footsteps didn't stop, as if he couldn't bear to spend more time with her, and didn't wait for Concubine Lan to finish the second half of the sentence before interrupting her and said, "Because you are a concubine, and this palace is the queen." ”

While speaking, the person had already entered the inner room, and Lan Guifei froze outside, trembling with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

Yes, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, especially in the harem. It's just that the emperor has always indulged her over the years, and the queen has also learned to restrain her edge in the lessons of the past again and again, and it seems that she has changed her temperament, making her gradually forget that this woman, who is the master of the harem, has never been easy to mess with.

The queen's confidence comes from the strong maternal background behind her, from the fact that she has a son who has been appointed as the prince, and from her mother's position as the queen of the world.

Lan Guifei was a little flustered for a moment, but then she was replaced by unwillingness and anger. Because she thought that the position of the queen should have been her own, and the person who was appointed as the prince should have been her own son.

The difference between her and the queen is just a strong mother's family, but this is not all good, otherwise the emperor would not be suspicious of the queen and the prince.

Aunt Guizhi didn't dare to come out, and it wasn't until Concubine Lan Guifei walked out of the Deshang Hall with a gloomy face that she asked worriedly: "Niangniang, is it ...... the queen to suddenly get into trouble?"

She didn't finish the rest of the words, but Concubine Lan naturally understood what she meant, and sneered: "What are you afraid of, anyway, the evidence has been burned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and now there is nothing to be afraid of in this palace." At most, let him find out about the idiots of the noble family, what do we have to do with it? ”

The water in the capital has always been bottomless, and the undercurrent is surging underneath, but the surface is still calm.

There were only a few days left to prepare for the wedding, and Qi couldn't sit still anymore. Although everything was ready, she always felt as if she had missed something, but she just couldn't remember it, and she was so anxious that her mouth was blistering.

Bai Yanran went out and brought Zou and Tong'er back, and she was stunned for a while before she reacted. The daughter had communicated with her in advance, but that day she heard that people were reluctant, but she didn't want to persuade people to come back directly.

The Qi family was originally not bad-hearted, and after hearing her daughter talk about the causes and consequences, she naturally felt pity for the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zou family. After saying a few words casually, he asked Zou to take Tong'er down to rest, saying that she was only better in two days and then got up to do things.

When the Qi family left and asked, Bai Yanran said: "This aunt of the Zou family should have some scruples in her heart, and she didn't want to refuse, but when we spoke, Tong'er listened to her." The little girl has eaten too many days over the years, and she is close to me, so she pesters her grandmother to agree.

Although the aunt of the Zou family is a little stubborn, she doesn't love Tong'er, a granddaughter who has no father since she was a child. At first, he taught the child with a straight face, but then he couldn't help it when he saw Tong'er crying, so he had to agree. ”

Qi nodded, but seeing that Su Xin on the side also had red eyes, and looked over in surprise, Su Xin said with some embarrassment: "Madame doesn't know, although Tong'er, this little girl, looks young, but she is smart and sensible. I was grateful for the great kindness of the young lady, but I was also worried about my grandmother's illness, so I secretly told me that I was willing to sell myself into the house.

Zou heard the grandfather and grandson hugging and crying, Zou agreed to come down, I, I looked at it and cried for a while. ”

Qi couldn't cry or laugh, but he also loved Tong'er, a little girl, a little more.

After settling the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zou family, Bai Yanran was a matter of concern. The master and servant returned to the courtyard, and the little girl looked in a good mood, and said that she would go to Tong'er to play in a while. Bai Yanran listened and suddenly said, "You suddenly cried at the Zou family just now, do you also think of your family?" If you feel homesick, go back and see, your home is not far from here, and it is only a day's walk back and forth in a carriage. ”

Bai Yanran remembered that Su Xin's mother died early, but there were still fathers and younger siblings at home. Unexpectedly, the little girl's interest was not high, so she only lowered her head and said while doing what she was doing: "No, my mother went early, and then my father married a widow from the same village, and gave birth to a younger brother and sister, and the widow also brought her original daughter, and the four children in the family lived a tight life. ”

She paused, lowering her voice.

"Later, in a disaster year, in order to exchange for silver so that the family could be fed, my father sold me to Renyazi. I knew I shouldn't have thought so, but I still blamed him in my heart.

On weekdays, my stepmother and sister called me and drank him, and he didn't care about it, but when it was time to sell his children, he thought of me. I'm not the eldest girl in the family, it's still his own flesh and blood, but he is willing to give it up. ”

The little girl's last voice was almost like a whisper, "At that time, I knew that I was no longer from that family, my father didn't want me anymore, what should I do when I went back." ”

She looked up at Bai Yanran, a pair of round eyes were black and white, and saw that Bai Yanran's sideburns were slightly messy, so she picked up the comb and said while combing: "Later, a group of us were brought to the capital by Ya Po to be sold cheaply, and I and the eldest girl, that is, Yuxin, were still young at that time, and they were originally taken by the old bustard of a flower building and wanted to buy it back and raise it. Fortunately, it was later bought back by Steward Zhou in the house, so that he would not fall into the dusty land and be innocent. ”

In her previous life, Bai Yanran had never mentioned this, and she had never heard Su Xin talk about these little girls who followed her every day, but she didn't know that she had such a life experience. She was so distressed that she didn't know what to say.

However, the little girl seemed to have walked out of the initial depression, looked at Bai Yanran and said with a smile: "I only knew why Steward Zhou bought our two little girls when I came to the house, it turned out that Miss lacked a personal girl of a similar age who could play."

Later, Steward Zhou gave us another name and called Miss in front of her, and Miss chose me, so I decided to follow Miss for the rest of my life. ”

Bai Yanran grabbed her hand and patted it affectionately, looked at the little girl's slim appearance from the mirror, and said with a smile: "That's natural, Miss, I don't plan to let you go, and when I find a good family for you in the capital in the future, we can also see it when you get married." ”

The little girl pouted, probably wanting to say something like not marrying again, but Bai Yanran got up and pointed at her forehead and pretended to be right: "The little girl is not allowed to talk back." Didn't you say you were going to find Tong'er? It's okay at this point, you go and help settle in. ”

Su Xin was immediately distracted and went out with a smile. Bai Yanran smiled and shook her head, but after a while, she saw the little girl lift the curtain and come in again: "Miss, Doctor Sun came to check the pulse of the two aunts, and she was guarding the door at this time, saying that she wanted to ask Miss Tuo if there was any news about the matter." ”

Sun Mingzhe is now a graduate of the Tai Hospital, although he is not a formal medical officer, and he only goes to the palace for seven days every ten days to be on duty, but Ji'an Tang is enough for their ancestors and grandchildren to be busy.

Bai Yanran knew that Sun Mingzhe had come to Baifu to diagnose the two aunts, and she couldn't wait to know that Qian Wan'er's news was true. She sighed, but she also knew that this matter could not be hidden, and Sun Mingzhe would know sooner or later.

Sun Mingzhe, an outsider, naturally did not want to enter Bai Yanran's courtyard, so the two talked in a pavilion in the courtyard. Looking at Sun Mingzhe, who was obviously emaciated, Bai Yanran was a little unbearable for a while, but under his silent urging gaze, he had to speak: "I only got the news of Miss Qian yesterday, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." ”

Halfway through her words, Sun Mingzhe couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Wan'er?" Is she doing well? Is something wrong with her? ”

Bai Yanran paused before saying, "She is now in the palace of Jianwang, and she is about to live well." As for what happened, although I don't know the details, I can guess that she should ...... It's also involuntarily. ”

Sun Mingzhe didn't seem to be able to react for a while, and muttered: "I know that Wan'er goes to guard in front of King Jian's Mansion every day, and wants to find King Jianwang to intercede to rescue Uncle Qian, but how can she be ......?"

At this point, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled twice, and he could not make a sound.

Bai Yanran sighed and said, "She is now Aunt Qian of the Jianwang Mansion, ...... Hello do it yourself. ”
