Chapter 80: Xi
On the second day after Li Shenlan chatted with Yin Chen, the early dynasty was restored. People in the palace say that Li Shenlan is becoming more and more favored now, and what the queen can't do now, she can be effective by saying just two sentences. When these words reached Xiyan's ears, he was angry and had nowhere to go.
"Xiyan, go and call the nurse to come over to Sheng Ping like I'm hungry."
The queen shouted for a long time and didn't see her move, Li Shenlan was ordered to be busy with the portrait of the Queen Mother Yunxiu for the past two days, and she never had time to come to see Sheng Ping.
"Sunset!" The queen shouted again, and Xi Yan came back to her senses and looked at her apologetically.
"What's the matter with you, you didn't react when this palace called you for so long, I saw you so close to me, it didn't look like I didn't hear it." The queen was a little annoyed.
"Niangniang, now that the palace is about to turn upside down, people only recognize her Concubine Lan as the master every day, and you are still here stupidly helping her raise children."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Seeing that the queen was angry, Xi Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground, but her mouth was still unforgiving.
"The slave maid is not wrong, when you go to the Internal Affairs Mansion to get something, they send more than twice as much to Concubine Lan's palace as they do to us. These people are sick from worshipping high and stepping on low, but Niangniang, you are the queen, how dare they be so lazy. ”
"There are more people in the Lilan Palace, and the emperor also goes there every day, so naturally he has to supply more. You don't want to be an errand in the palace every day, and you think about eating these gases every day. ”
Xiyan wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came to her mouth, she was stopped by the queen, and seeing that it was difficult to say, she could only resign herself to Sheng Ping's nurse. just walked out, and I still wanted to feel wronged for the queen.
Inside the house, Sheng Ping was obviously very hungry. As soon as the small mouth was deflated, the tears overflowed into her eyes, and the queen was distressed and hurriedly coaxed softly, but the words passed through her ears, how could there be any reason not to pay attention. Xi Yan's words still broke her heart in the end.
Thinking of that day in the Buddha Hall, Yin Chen was like a black-eyed chicken who wanted to swallow himself alive, and the queen was both aggrieved and angry. Now her only comfort is Sheng Ping, no matter how hard this life is, as long as she sees Sheng Ping, she feels that all the suffering is worth it. But if Li Shenlan has been favored like this, Sheng Ping's body has gradually stabilized, then will one day in the future, Sheng Ping be sent back to Lilan Palace?
"Good Shengping, E-Niang is here, E-Niang will always accompany Shengping......"
Early this morning, Li Shenlan happily ran to Changle Palace, and Concubine Xiang came with her.
Every time the queen saw Li Shenlan's appearance, she couldn't help but reproach a few words, speaking of which, she was also a mother, and she didn't look dignified every day.
"The concubine used to be dignified, didn't she meet two sisters!"
If Li Shenlan was a little sentimental before, but now that he wants to come to Shengping to be by his side, Yin Chen's love for himself will not be reduced in the slightest. The people who hurt themselves at the beginning are gone, in other words, isn't this day just more and more perfect?
"Why are you so happy today? I look like I'm having some happy event. ”
"Who said it wasn't, I kept asking her when I met her on the way, and she had to wait until you to say it. Come on, it's time now, so can you talk about it? ”
Concubine Xiang couldn't help pinching Sheng Ping's face while talking, among the three people, Sheng Ping seemed to like Concubine Xiang the most, and every time Concubine Xiang teased her, she couldn't stop laughing.
Li Shenlan also laughed, saying that there was indeed a happy event today. Qin Ye came over this morning and said that it was two days before Bang Chun, and he found out that he was already four months pregnant.
"Really? That's really great. ”
"Yes, but the two of them were too careless, why didn't they find out that they had a body until the fourth month?"
The queen and Concubine Xiang kept talking non-stop, obviously they were really happy for Bangchun.
"Isn't this Qin Ye in the palace on weekdays, and Bang Chun is always busy with things. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Ye was unwell two days ago, she happened to be looking for a doctor, I was afraid that she would have to wait until her belly was big to find out! ”
Li Shenlan was also happy, as soon as Qin Ye said that she wanted to go out of the palace immediately to see Bang Chun. But Yin Chen didn't agree, not to say that there was still Yin Quan's remnants outside that had not been dealt with, and it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no danger if he went out like this.
"The emperor is also for your good, it will be more lively after this, whether it is a boy or a girl, we Shengping have a playmate of the same age."
When the queen heard this, she also smiled and responded: "Who said it wasn't, a few days ago I thought that I didn't have anything to do when Sheng Ping slept on weekdays, but now I can embroider something for Bang Chun's children."
Seeing that the two sisters were overjoyed, Li Shenlan was also emotional. What she likes the most is that the two of them are like this, they never care about the so-called noble and lowly births, as long as they are compatible, even if Bang Chun is born in slavery, they will already be sincerely blessed.
The three of them were thinking about how to make trouble in the harem, when Hou Zhong suddenly came over outside, saying that Yin Chen had sent a message to the queen to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Why does the emperor want to see me at this time?"
"Is there something wrong?" Concubine Xiang was also puzzled.
Li Shenlan thought about it carefully, and then understood.
"Yesterday, the emperor said to me that he would hold an autumn hunt in a few days, and he would use this matter to clean up the remnants of King Cheng hidden in the court. This will call the mother over, and it is estimated that it is arranged for the harem part. ”
The queen was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Yin Chen to even tell Li Shenlan about these things. What's more, in the past, no matter who Yin Chen favored, he would tell himself this kind of big thing as soon as possible, but now Li Shenlan was the first to know.
"Oh...... Yes. The half-ringing queen responded with a smile, and then asked the two of them to take good care of Sheng Ping, and hurried out.
After the queen left, Concubine Xiang looked at Li Shenlan with a frown. Originally, Li Shenlan didn't pay attention, but after a long time, she inevitably felt uncomfortable.
"Why is my sister looking at me like this?"
"Shen Lan, although the Queen Mother is gone now, the only master in the harem is also our sister. But the harem can't interfere in politics, only we can listen to what you say, if a fourth person listens, you will be convicted of causing trouble to the dynasty! ”
Li Shenlan didn't think about this aspect, but she didn't expect it to be as serious as Concubine Xiang said.
"Sister, it's just the three of us on the left and right......"
"Shen Lan! This thing is not a joke, if someone really says it, this kind of dirty water is that Sijuan and I want to save you, I'm afraid it's powerless. ”
Saying this, Li Shenlan finally realized the mistake of her words, so she had to promise not to talk nonsense in the future.
"But it's good that the emperor chooses to hunt now, the summer has passed, the weather is not so hot, and the wind is just right."
"Yes, by the way, General Zhao has been on the expedition for half a month, why hasn't there been a letter?"
Don't talk about this, as soon as you say this, even Concubine Xiang, who has always been optimistic, can't help but sigh.
"I also complained to them, but Daddy only said that one more letter would increase the risk of being intercepted. Later, I thought that this was indeed the case, so now as long as the two of them go to war, it will be half a year and a year without news. Now, I just hope that they will come back safely. ”
Li Shenlan also agrees that her daughter's family can't fight on the battlefield, and the only thing they can do is to protect themselves well, so that the men won't worry about themselves on the battlefield.
"Where's Old Madam Zhao?"
At the beginning, in order to lure away the Zhao family's father and son, Yin Jingya specially poisoned the old lady's condition to worsen, and everyone knows this. After all this time, I don't know how the old lady is doing.
Yin Jingya didn't think about opposing the emperor in the end, and her subordinates sent the medicine to the Zhao Mansion as soon as she died. I think it was also what she told me, but my mother suffered the same hardship, and her body was not as good as before. ”
But in any case, it is better to save your life than anything else.
Now every time the three of them talk about it, they think that after the turmoil, they are happy, so the people they care about are fine.
"Eh, I think you've gained a little weight these days?" Concubine Xiang said and looked Li Shenlan up and down carefully, and then asked with a gossipy playful face: "Shenlan, are you ...... Again? ”
Li Shenlan didn't react at first, but when she reacted, her face couldn't help but turn red.
"What is my sister talking nonsense! Sheng Ping is only seven months old, even if the emperor always goes to my ...... That can't be so fast! You really think I'm a sow! ”
"Eh, you're in a hurry when you say two words. The emperor goes to your place every day, it's really hard to guarantee that it's not so accurate! ”
"Sister!"
Although she has already become a mother, as soon as Li Shenlan talks about the topic of sexual affairs, her face can be red and dripping blood.
Others don't know, but Li Shenlan knows it in her heart. Yin Chen looks like a decent man and a gentleman on weekdays, but in fact, at night, especially when he is alone in the bedroom, he wants to be in estrus like that. Every morning, Li Shenlan dragged this sore body to Changle Palace to ask for peace, and she was really "miserable".
If it is said that Li Shenlan's stomach always hurts when she has menstruation in the past, she is wronged and annoying every time she comes. So now, the menstrual period is like a life-saving straw, and every month is her holiday.
The more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and the expression on her face was strange, not to mention that her face was flushed. Concubine Xiang on the side couldn't help but coax her, making Li Shenlan angry and hugged Sheng Ping and went out.
"Eh! I'm just kidding! Why are you so stingy! ”
The answer to Concubine Xiang was Li Shenlan's back who was puffing up but seemed to be in a hurry to find a crack in the ground.
In the Taiwei Mansion, after learning that Yin Chen was going to hold an autumn hunt, the Taiwei exhaled a long sigh for some reason.
"What does my father think about this?"
"Your Majesty, this is testing me."
"What do you mean by that?"
The lieutenant narrowed his eyes, and his tone was not very analytical.
"When the emperor announced this early this morning, no one looked at it, but his eyes were on me. The most important thing is that he asked me to help the Ministry of Rites with the arrangement of the patrol. ”
Originally, this kind of thing was just a discussion between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, but this time it was clear that Li Yunshan wanted to do it, which is why he was so uneasy.
"The emperor didn't find the batch of soldiers and horses we handed over to King Cheng, so he was naturally relieved. Let me preside, I'm afraid that I will design my hands and feet when they arrange them, so if something really happens at that time, I will naturally be the first to take the knife.
Second, if we don't help the Ministry of Rites but keep our own words, if there is anything wrong with us, he can have a reason to punish me. ”
"My father's soldiers and horses back then were all given to King Cheng?"
"How is that possible!"
Li Yunshan looked at his son with a little smile, such a stupid question is too bad for Li Yunhao to ask.
"I'm not a fool, wasn't King Cheng gambling when he rebelled to put it bluntly? He wants to gamble, and I don't dare to take my family's life to accompany him. The soldiers given to him are only a little more than twenty percent, which does not affect our people, and the force is not high, so this station is basically dead. ”
To put it bluntly, Li Yunshan can still reap the benefits without leaving any flaws without offending anyone.
"Father is really witty!"
"The two of them are brothers, even if we want to wade into this pond of muddy water, we have to do it on the premise of ensuring our own safety."
"But now that the emperor is doing this, I'm afraid he already suspects it."
This was also expected by Li Yunshan, Yin Chen doubted that if he didn't doubt it, he really had to think about it, this was still not the son of Empress Dowager Lu.
"Doubt is doubt, things always have to be tested to be interesting, aren't they?"
"What is Father going to do?"
Li Yunshan didn't answer him, but smiled at him with a deep face.
Soon it was the day of the hunt, and early in the morning, the group went out of the palace under the kneeling of hundreds of civil and military officials.
It is said that there is still some distance between the palace and the paddock, and knowing that he is going to travel today, Yin Chen patted the guards early in the morning and notified the people of the shops.
Although he wanted to let them earn one less day's money, Yin Chen had already allocated a certain amount of money to each family, and the people would not say anything after receiving the money. Some people saw it open, and even opened a shop, just to let the palace master taste it.
"Would you like to go shopping?"
Yin Chen really doesn't care about the rules, he didn't sit in the queen's carriage on this trip, and he also sat in a car with Li Shenlan. Without the queen mother, the queen doesn't care about anything, and the officials are naturally not easy to say.
Listening to the loud voices of a few hawkers selling outside, Li Shenlan also had a temperament, so she simply pulled Yin Chen out of the carriage and hung leisurely behind the team.
"Walking with the emperor like this reminds the concubines of the days when they met the emperor on East Street."
If life is only as it is the first time, even if it is not the first time, it is still beautiful like a playbook. Thinking about it like this, Li Shenlan suddenly laughed, making Yin Chen a little confused.
"Laughing at what?"
"The concubine is thinking, so let's thank Li Mingyue and Lu Xin, if they hadn't designed to harm me at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met the emperor."
Yin Chen was stunned for a while, and then laughed heartily.
"Huh! That's a sugar gourd! Without waiting for Yin Chen to finish speaking, Li Shenlan pulled him and ran over, and he quickly looked like a girl who had just fallen in love.
The cheerful laughter of the two was melodious in the sky, and the wind blew into the ears of every car.
