Past Life (2)

"Concubine Xue has a heart." Ye Qingyan said to Chunyu beside him with an unconcealable weakness on his face: "Take Concubine Xue's palace maid to prepare refreshments." ”

Ji Xue is pregnant, all food, clothing, housing and transportation must be careful, and there are people with her in front of her, and some unnecessary details will happen in the province.

Chunyu took Ji Xue's palace maid down, and Ye Qingyan and Ji Xue were left in the garden.

Ji Xue's lips showed a playful smile, "Sister Queen's complexion looks even worse than the previous two days. ”

Ye Qingyan's eyes drifted over her delicate smile, and replied indifferently: "So I am worried that if I give my sisters the sickness, I will be exempted from the ceremony, and Concubine Xue will not be used in the future." When the health of this palace is better, it is not too late to summon you. ”

Meaning, this palace asked you to come, come again, don't let you come, don't come to be an eyesore.

The smile on Ji Xue's face froze for a moment, but soon deepened, "In a few days, Your Majesty will go south on patrol, saying that you want to take your concubines with you, and the concubines are not very easy to go, but Your Majesty has to accompany the concubines, and it is also a little embarrassing." ”

Ye Qingyan knew that she was here to show off, but she still looked calm, and said calmly: "If Concubine Xue feels embarrassed, this palace will go back to see Your Majesty, and she will say to Your Majesty, leave her sister in the palace, so that she can have a safe birth, and give birth to a white and fat prince for Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”

As soon as she heard Ye Qingyan say that she wanted to keep her, Ji Xue was a little confused, she shouldn't have reacted like this, when she heard this kind of words in the past, she would inevitably cough and gasp, and that appearance was very pleasing to her eyes.

Also, don't let her accompany His Majesty on his southern tour? How can this be! If she doesn't accompany her, it won't be cheap for the little hooves who have just entered the palace, Your Majesty is her alone, even if she is pregnant!

"Your Majesty, since you have said it, it is not good to take it back rashly. The concubines will take care of the imperial heir and follow His Majesty's southern tour. ”

"Didn't Concubine Xue say that she felt embarrassed?" Ye Qingyan blocked her with her words.

Ji Xue suddenly felt that this queen didn't seem to be as weak and cowardly as she looked, and this soft muttering voice was actually choking.

After a pause, he looked up at the sky again, "It's almost time for Your Majesty to go down to the court, the concubines will go back to the palace to wait for the driver, and Ming'er will come to greet the queen's sister again." ”

"Please be safe, your majesty values you, you should serve well, go back." Ye Qingyan waved his hand and asked her to go down.

Ji Xue took a deep look at her, saluted and left.

Ye Qingyan noticed that she looked at her eyes, with a vague inquiry, and she didn't know anything, she just followed the winding path in the garden, enjoying the flowers and walking, seemingly not affected by Ji Xue's mood at all, and even picked a white peony and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff.

After Ji Xue left the golden red palace gate of Kunyuan Palace, where dragons and phoenixes were carved, she looked back and sneered disdainfully, "It's just a waste person, pretending." ”

……

At night, on the phoenix couch, Ye Qingyan held a soft phoenix-patterned big pillow in his arms, curled up in a ball and fell asleep, with a touch of sadness between his eyebrows, as if there was some trouble unresolved.

The curtain of the dragon and phoenix was opened, and a bright yellow figure stood on the side of the couch, looking at Ye Qingyan who was asleep.

"Who has been to Kunyuan Palace today?" Xiao Changqi asked the spring rain waiting on the side.

Chunyu replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Xue has been here." ”

Xiao Changqi's expression was indifferent, "What are you doing?" ”

Chunyu's neck and jaw were lower, "Please be safe, enjoy the flowers." Later, Niangniang asked the slave maid to go to the dining room to prepare refreshments, and the slave maid walked away for a while, and Niangniang talked to Xue Concubine Niangniang alone for a while. What was said during the period, the slave maid did not know. But after Concubine Xue left, Niangniang's mood was not very good. ”

"In the future, she will not be allowed to be alone with Concubine Xue." Xiao Changqi's voice was a little colder.

Chunyu's respectful body couldn't help but tremble, and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave obeys the order." ”

"Let's go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chunyu bowed his head and retreated, and when he was about to leave the temple gate, he closed the door as well.

Xiao Changqi dressed himself, with a tall and slender sturdy physique, changed into a moon-white dragon-patterned bedclothes, and then lay down on the phoenix couch. Simply took the pillow in Ye Qingyan's arms away, took the whole person into his arms, closed his eyes and rested.

And Ye Qingyan, who was originally curled up in a ball due to cold, naturally stretched out his body after entering Xiao Changqi's arms, and the thin little melon seed face was also attached to Xiao Changqi's heart, and the melancholy between his eyebrows also dissipated.

Xiao Changqi put one hand on her vest, and the gushing internal qi entered her body, warming her eight veins of the strange meridians that were blocked or broken.

And this raising, Xiao Changqi didn't stop until the two watches, and finally hugged Ye Qingyan and fell asleep.

The next day, Ye Qingyan woke up.

Smelling the rich fragrance of plum around him, he closed his eyes again.

"Spring rain, Your Majesty came last night?" There was a hint of lazy hoarseness in his voice.

However, Chunyu did not answer her words.

The curtain opened, and someone she thought was gone looked at her with calm and cold eyes, "Is there a problem?" ”

"...... "What problems can she have, he is the biggest in the entire palace, he can go wherever he falls in love, which is what she can manage."

"Nope." Ye Qingyan saw that he was still wearing bed clothes, not court clothes, and got up from the couch.

My body, which was heavy and weak yesterday, is much more relaxed and powerful this morning.

It's also a strange thing, as long as he sleeps here, her body will be better, maybe it's really like what Chunyu said, the imperial dragon qi has the effect of suppressing evil and driving away cold.

As she got up, the curtain was completely lifted by the palace people.

Ye Qingyan saw the toiletries that had been prepared outside, and Gong Cheng was also there, and glanced at Xiao Changqi again, and then silently took the initiative to walk over, first let the palace people help her sort it out briefly, and then she served Xiao Changqi.

Xiao Changqi was also served by her, and his demeanor was quite cooperative.

Ye Qingyan took the dragon pattern jade comb and pulled his smooth black hair into a bun.

Secretly looked at Xiao Changqi, who had a cold face in the mirror, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is pregnant, and it is not good to travel south to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, so it is better to stay in the palace." ”

She's not easy to mess with! Although this man is the biggest in the palace, in the harem, she is the queen, and even the man in front of her will give her two thin faces.

Xiao Changqi's thickly woven eyelashes were slightly raised, and through the mirror, he looked at Ye Qingyan, who was combing his hair with a serious look, and responded in a deep voice, "Hmm." ”

Ye Qingyan smiled, his little face, which was originally pale due to his frailty, instantly increased his brilliance, and his big eyes lit up a lot.

Xiao Changqi looked at her expression and slowly lowered his eyes again.

……

Qixiang Palaceβ€”β€”

'Smack-' There was a cracking of porcelain, followed by an angry cry!

"Kun Yuan Palace! Hongu will never let you go! ”

Ji Xue just got Xiao Changqi's command, and she will not be taken on this southern tour, including all the concubines in the harem.

She knew that it must have been Ye Qingyan who blew the wind on His Majesty's pillow.

Although that woman is not in good shape and can't serve His Majesty, but because of the rules, His Majesty will still go to bed, and if she takes the opportunity to fan the flames, His Majesty will inevitably answer her.

"Mother's anger." Mama Zhao came over with a cup of fetal tea, "Actually, Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so it is better to recuperate in the palace, which is good for the imperial heir." And Your Majesty not only doesn't bring the mother alone, but all the concubines in the harem don't bring it, what are you worried about? ”

Ji Xue listened to her mother's words, and her anger gradually subsided.

"Although it is said that there is no palace with it, but the local officials see that His Majesty does not bring women with him, filial piety is indispensable, and those wild hooves are also very annoying."

"Niangniang, you can't serve Your Majesty now, rather than cheap these concubines in the palace to have the opportunity to conceive the dragon seed, it is better to let the wild hooves wait. His Majesty is the most particular about the rules, even if he is fortunate to be outside, he will not leave seeds outside, let alone bring them into the palace. ”

"That's right." Ji Xue finally felt better, "Your Majesty is the most disciplined. ”

"As for the queen's side, Niangniang doesn't have to take it to heart, a woman who can't even sleep, and it's pitiful."

When Ji Xue heard this, her heart became more comfortable, "Well, since she left Bengong in the palace, then Bengong will give her some good looks!" Get ready and go to Kunyuan Palace to say goodbye. ”

"Yes, sissy."

Ye Qingyan leaned lazily on the soft couch, holding an ancient book in his hand.

This book was left by Xiao Changqi this morning. It turned out that he woke up half an hour earlier than her, but he had been waiting for her to get up and wait, so he read a book for a while.

In fact, he has the kung fu to read, and he has already finished picking up and going to the court.

Propriety...... Is it really that important?

Ye Qingyan turned another page of the book, this page folded a small corner, according to Xiao Changqi's habit, he should have seen this.

Closed the book and handed it to Chunyu, "Put it down." ”

"Yes, sis. The tonic soup is just boiled, do you want to drink a little? Chunyu took the book and asked softly and gently.

Ye Qingyan nodded, "Okay." ”

She relied on these soups and water to hold her breath, how dare she not drink it.

Soon, Chunyu brought the soup over, and she was followed by a few palace people with snacks.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty has summoned a new imperial chef, who is very good at making dim sum, and the slave maid looks good, so she serves a few dishes, can you taste it?" Chunyu smiled.

Ye Qingyan likes to eat, especially the sweet, greasy and greasy heavy taste, but his health is not good, so he can only raise it lightly. As soon as I heard that there was a new dim sum to taste, I immediately came to my senses, "Uh-huh, bring it quickly." ”

Chunyu gave her the soup first, "Drink the soup first." ”

"Okay." Ye Qingyan took the soup and drank it all in one go.

Just as he was about to eat a snack, another palace man came in.

"Back to Niangniang, Concubine Xue is here."

"It's not that you don't need her to come over, why are you here again." Ye Qingyan was a little displeased, and it was a sin for her to disturb her eating.

Chunyu said: "Niangniang, Concubine Xue should have come to ask for peace." ”

"Hello, please? I'm here to add to the blockage. Ye Qingyan said, remembering what he said when he was serving Xiao Changqi in the morning...... Immediately smiled again, "It shouldn't be possible to go to Jiangnan, so it's not fun to come to this palace." Anyway, this palace will look at her. ”

This time it was not only Ji Xue who came to ask for peace, but also one person - Ye Jingning.

Ye Jingning's belly is bigger than Ji Xue, and she has been pregnant for more than six months.

Ye Jingning touched her stomach and approached Ye Qingyan with a smile, "Sister Queen, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my complexion is much better." ”

Ye Qingyan's gaze swept over her stomach, and she replied with a smile: "Maybe today's makeup is good, how are you?" Did the child kick you? ”

"It's okay, it's better to move in the morning and evening. When His Majesty came to see the concubine two days ago, he touched it and kicked His Majesty's palm. Ye Jingning walked to Ye Qingyan's side and gestured for her to touch it too.

Ye Qingyan avoided it, "Don't, this palace is sick, don't give it to her, and you won't come to this palace in the future." ”

"The queen is the mother of Dayan, and she is noble, even if she is too angry." Ji Xue said with a smile, only the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and it was more perfunctory.

Ye Qingyan's eyes glanced at her slightly, "Really?" Is it good for this palace to touch Concubine Xue's child? ”

Ji Xue's face stiffened slightly, and then said: "The concubine's child is still young, I'm afraid I can't bear it, or I won't waste the queen's dignity." ”

"Huh." Ye Qingyan chuckled lightly and looked at Chunyu, "Present the dim sum and give it to Concubine Xue and Concubine Ning to taste." ”

"Yes, sissy." Chunyu opened the dim sum tray that had not been opened before, put them on the tea table one by one, and prepared a light soup.

The palace people who followed Ye Jingning and Ji Xue tasted dim sum and soup one after another, and then retreated after there was no problem.

Ye Qingyan said: "This is the dim sum made by the new imperial chef, it should be different from the dim sum that you are used to eating before, you can try it." ”

"Thank you, Sister Queen, no wonder my sister especially wants to come to my sister's place today, it turns out that there are such delicacies waiting for me." Ye Jingning looked at the table full of exquisite dim sum, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Ye Qingyan quipped: "Feelings, you are pregnant with a snack." ”

"Who says it's not, my sister is much heavier, look at the flesh on this face." Ye Jingning sneered and pulled a delicate face that was not fat.

Ye Qingyan raised her hand and touched her face, which was slippery and pink, like a flower blooming in the morning, extremely beautiful.

"It's good, so this child must be filial and don't toss his mother."

"Borrow my sister's auspicious words, hehe, and let him be filial to his sister in the future."

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Ye Qingyan personally served a bowl of soup to Ye Jingning, "Taste it and taste it." ”

"Yes, sister." Ye Jingning took the soup.

Ji Xue also had a bowl of soup in front of her, but she didn't mean to move, even if she had already tried poison. For the food outside the Qixiang Palace, she won't move for half a minute.

"Queen Mother, did Your Majesty rest in Kunyuan Palace last night?"

The women in the harem, where does the sisterhood come from, even if it is a sister, there is only competition in front of the emperor's favor, and there is no word for favor. No matter how generous a person is, he can't be so generous in front of His Majesty today. Today's posture and dignity are irresistible to any woman, and everyone wants to be exclusive.

Ye Jingning and Ye Qingyan, although they are cousins, they are also women in the harem, and the intimacy on their faces is only superficial, and the real deep meaning is only hostility.

Whoever His Majesty went to the palace, and whoever received the holy favor, was the public enemy of the harem woman.
