Chapter 58: The Concealment Behind the Comfort
Li Shenlan didn't expect Concubine Xiang to have such a past, so she just listened quietly for a while, but Concubine Xiang suddenly stopped talking when she said the back.
"Okay, that's my business. Siwan also knows about this, and the emperor knows it, I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't know how to tell you. β
It is also said that if Concubine Xiang came up and told herself all about it, I am afraid that I will not dare to believe it easily.
"Now it's time for you to tell me about you, it's been almost a month, and you're weird."
Li Shenlan sighed, then motioned for everyone to go out first, and she pulled Concubine Xiang into the dormitory.
"What is this?"
Seeing that Li Shenlan handed herself a sachet, it was still a man's, Concubine Xiang looked at the thing in her hand blankly and expressed puzzlement.
"This was embroidered by Bang Chun for Qin Ye at the beginning, and then I learned about it in the Song family's house."
didn't expect Li Shenlan to tell her life experience directly, Concubine Xiang was stunned at the moment, only Li Shenlan slowly said her thoughts.
"Didn't my sister expect me to be so direct?"
Li Shenlan may still care about her life experience at the beginning, afraid that others will catch the handle, but after entering the palace, she found that this thing is not a secret at all.
Not to mention that Li Yunshan didn't hide this matter much from the beginning, it was only later that Li Shenlan found out that Li Yunshan didn't care whether others knew about the Song family at all.
He is looking for Li Shenlan just to let himself have an identity and a reason to enter the palace, whether it is to compete for favor or to find the truth, it is always to stabilize the status of the Li family.
Seeing that Concubine Xiang didn't look surprised when she knew her life experience, she knew that she had already known it.
After thinking about it, Concubine Xiang was silent for a long time before speaking.
"So you suspect that the emperor has something to do with the death of the second elder?"
"The sachet is in my sister's hand, how can you not think so."
Concubine Xiang's eyes darkened imperceptibly, and then she spoke out to deny Li Shenlan's guess. There is no other reason, Yin Chen has no reason to hurt the second elder, not to mention that Li Shenlan's name has been hung in the Taiwei Mansion, and the second elder and Li Shenlan have broken off their relationship.
"It can't be the emperor, the emperor has no reason. You just thought about it a lot during pregnancy and held yourself in this palace every day, but you didn't come out of anything else, but you remembered it blindly. β
"But this sachet, and the branch that Bai Jue said......"
Li Shenlan didn't want to concave herself in it, but Luo Bai found out that it was reasonable, what kind of time to tease the woman, how could she see it.
"It's certain that Qin Ye has been there, but have you ever thought that the emperor went when he filmed him to check your background? What's more, before Li Mingyue went in, didn't you also say that the eldest princess borrowed a batch of secret guards from her?
A group of secret guards is less than ten people, can you guarantee that there is no one similar to Qin Ye's body shape in it? β
Concubine Xiang's words are not unreasonable, not to mention that Li Mingyue's secret guard was there on the day of the accident, which is more reasonable.
"You, I should pull you to play every day, saving you so much thought."
Concubine Xiang took the sachet and put it back in the box as she spoke, handed it to Li Shenlan, and instructed her word by word.
"How can this thing be said to be given to Qin Ye by someone Bang Chun, you either return it or destroy it, otherwise Bang Chun will see it one day and think ...... What ...... do you have with Qin Ye?"
Li Shenlan laughed angrily at what she said, Concubine Xiang really didn't have a proper shape, and she became a ruffian again in three or two sentences.
However, I have to admit that because of Concubine Xiang's words, Li Shenlan was finally not as uncomfortable as before. Maybe even she didn't expect that she didn't want Yin Chen to have anything to do with this matter subconsciously in her heart.
"Okay, I'm going to quit in a month. I still remember when I left the New Year last year, your white silk dance, tsk......"
Speaking of the white dance, Li Shenlan also sighed in her heart. A year has passed in this moment, and I think it was that dance that made Yin Chen fall in love with him at first sight, and it was also at the farewell banquet that he saw Yin Chen for life......
"Sister, don't think about it, if you're really not afraid that something will happen to me, I'll dance for my sister with this big belly?"
"Huh! Don't, I can't afford it. β
Besides, in the Chengwang Mansion in Fangcheng, Yin Quan married Ha Baoyin without saying a word. Far from it, Ha Baoyin was angry with herself, and she was rejected by Yin Chen in public, and she also liked Yin Quan, so she married without any etiquette.
But Ha Baoyin ignored one point, although Yin Quan is not Yin Chen, but in the end, he is a member of the royal family, not to mention that life is boring and boring, and the two of them can't say two words when they are alone on weekdays.
Yin Quan's so-called affairs in the court and politics do not talk to Ha Baoyin, and when it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Ha Baoyin is not interested. What she was interested in, Yin Quan didn't want to know, which led to Yu getting married for almost a month, and the two lived like strangers under the same roof except for the round house on the wedding day.
"Eh, brother, haven't you always been good friends with the prince, can't you help your sister persuade you, the prince now even says that he has to deal with official business at night, and I won't bring it into my room."
This is the eighth time this month that Ha Baoyin has pulled Hakoye to complain, and Hakoye has not been angry every time.
After all, when I was in Nanban, I thought that my sister was very cute, but when I entered the Central Plains, I found that I was stupid at all.
"You just bear with it, it's not that you want to marry him if you want to die or live?"
"I don't regret marrying him, I just think he has less time with me."
Hakoye glared at his sister, Ha Baoyin didn't know in his heart. Yin Quan recently said that he was staying in the study, but in fact, he had already relied on Ha Baoyin to cover up and get out of Fangcheng.
"The prince is also a king, how can he be at ease every day with nothing to do. As soon as you get married, stay honestly, don't be like a resentful woman every day. β
"Brother!"
"I can tell you, my father has already prepared everything, and you should continue to be a princess in the palace without knowing anything. Left, but in the spring of next year, the Nanban will be able to attack in. β
Hearing this, Ha Baoyin couldn't help but be shocked, Nanban wanted to fight as a princess, and he was actually the last one to know?
"Brother! Don't hurt the prince! β
Ha Keye was so angry that he could let her Ha Baoyin marry into the Chengwang Mansion, and if she thought about it with her toes, she knew that Chengwang would definitely be involved. This sister of mine is really stupid to a new level.
The eldest princess has been living in the palace for five or six days, saying that it is to manage the farewell banquet, and she has been accompanying the queen mother every day for a while.
"This is a good idea, the mourning family heard that the folk acrobatics in Jiangnan are a must, and I really haven't seen it in my life."
The eldest princess also laughed and replied:
"Who said it wasn't, Erchen had also heard it talk about before. I also thought that this New Year's banquet was like this every year, and every year it was the clichΓ©s that the people of the Le Fang arranged. Why don't you find these people and have a good time? β
The Queen Mother pushed the dim sum in front of her in front of the eldest princess and motioned her to eat more.
"Eh, the emperor's mother, the sons and daughters are such a big person, how can they still like to eat this when they were young."
"Don't say this, in the eyes of the mourning family, you will always be a child, these are the things you used to love to eat, and the mourning family asks someone to prepare it for you every day."
The eldest princess saw that the queen mother was prepared and it was difficult to refuse, so she smiled and picked it up and ate a piece.
"Yunxiu, it's not the mourning family who said you. You calculate how old you are now, the mourning family has been married to the first emperor for six or seven years when you were your age, and you should find a lovely family to start a family. β
"Erchen doesn't want to marry, Erchen wants to accompany the emperor for the rest of his life, and after you get married, you won't be able to see your son."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she pretended to be angry, nodded the forehead of the eldest princess and said:
"Nonsense, if you really marry out of the mourning family, you will definitely let people join our Yunxiu Princess Mansion, the princess's mansion is in the capital, and it's not that you can come back when you want to?
Besides, if you are not married, Queen Xiaode is in heaven, you will blame the mourning family. β
Seeing the queen mother mention her biological mother, the eldest princess's eyes darkened invisibly, and then she became the innocent little girl.
"Why did Huang Eniang mention Empress Xiaode?"
"What is the name of Empress Xiaode, that's your mother's ......?"
"It's not like I've never been with her before."
The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders seemingly indifferently, showing that she didn't care at all.
"You, it's just that the relationship between mother and daughter is shallow, and the mourning family won't talk about this. In short, you pick one as soon as possible and get married early. β
The queen mother stopped the topic halfway through her speech, and instead pulled the eldest princess to the side to play chess.
On the other hand, Concubine Xiang is very interesting, and after returning to Jinghe Palace, she doesn't have that joy on weekdays, but just sits there and eats melon seeds alone.
"Mother, don't knock your tongue up......"
Qin Yin doesn't know what's going on with his master, in short, it's very abnormal.
Concubine Xiang ignored her, but grabbed another handful of melon seeds by herself.
In fact, for the words she said to Li Shenlan that day, Concubine Xiang hid two things.
One is his own past, and he didn't tell Li Shenlan what happened after entering the palace, but just said a few words casually.
And the other thing is Qin Ye's matter, it is one thing to persuade Li Shenlan, and Concubine Xiang's true thoughts are very clear in her heart. The matter of the second elder of the Song family, even if Yin Chen is not directly involved, it must have nothing to do with him.
and concealed these two things from Li Shenlan, and even persuaded her not to try to prove Yin Chen's innocence more, saying that it was unpleasant for her own selfishness.
It's like he could have predicted Li Shenlan's ending from the beginning, but he couldn't stop her personally except for persuading her. Because I don't know that there is a plan behind me, and the entire Zhao family.
If Yin Chen's plan is disrupted, once he finds out, he can find an excuse to cure the crime of the Zhao family's nine clans.
"Mother?"
Seeing that Concubine Xiang was suddenly stunned, Qin Yin stepped forward and patted her.
"Eh, you're scared me to death, by the way, you go to the dark building yourself."
"Niangniang wants to check the second elder of the Song family?"
"I'll check what they do, you personally go to a secret guard named Luo Baijue, and ask her not to investigate the cause of the second elder's death again. As for Shen Lan's next time she asked, she said that everything was just speculation. β
"Niangniang, Luo Baijue is already Lan Zhaoyi's subordinate, so can I listen to you?"
Concubine Xiang didn't care so much, she only let Qin Yin pass the word, as for whether she listened to her or not, she didn't believe that the person she had cultivated could forget the old master so quickly.
A month is slow or slow, but if it is fast, this blink of an eye will be on the horizon.
Li Shenlan stayed in the palace like this, although she figured it out, she didn't take the initiative to find Yin Chen, so Yin Chen didn't come once this month except for listening to the Bamboo Palace.
"Niangniang, tomorrow is the New Year's banquet, and the clothes you ordered last time will be delivered by the Internal Affairs Office."
Li Shenlan looked at it, and saw a white velvet palace dress on the tray just placed on it. If you look closely, you can find that it is very similar to the one she wore at last year's farewell party.
"Yo yo yo, who is this? I don't know when this Yongfu Palace became the place where the fairy daughter lived! β
As soon as Concubine Xiang came in, she saw Li Shenlan standing there dressed as a fairy in white, with no beads on her head, just standing quietly like a fairy in the sky out of the water hibiscus.
"Tsk, look at it, Yin Chen, that guy doesn't look at such a beautiful fairy, he has to go to find the ugly monster."
Li Shenlan knew that Concubine Xiang was angry with herself, so she couldn't help laughing.
"How?"
"Do some people want to open it or just care about their own beauty?"
Concubine Xiang has always persuaded Li Shenlan for a while, and the people in the palace are like this. Now the Listening Bamboo Palace is a door, and this Yongfu Palace is a door.
Speaking of those people in the Internal Affairs Office, relying on Li Shenlan to bully and fall out of favor, not to mention the deduction of two ends in three days, it is clear that only one catty of flour is given every day.
"Didn't my sister say it, you can't be peted, but you can't be unfavored, and I like this dress too, and it's similar to the clothes when I first met the emperor, isn't it the best of both worlds."
"Yes, yes, if you want to open it."
The two were talking, Li Shenlan suddenly felt a terrible headache, and couldn't help but sit down nearby and rub her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Concubine Xiang was a little worried.
Li Shenlan shook her head and waited for a moment to recover before replying: "It is estimated that it is a problem of the month, and this headache is always a terrible pain." Originally, I also asked the imperial doctor, but I only said that it was because of the coldness at the beginning.
I couldn't rest assured in the back, thinking that the midwife was in the palace, I called to check the pulse, and the mother said that it was the reason why the child was making trouble when she was a month old. Massage me every day for the past two days to soothe my stomach and ensure a smooth delivery......"
Concubine Xiang has no production experience, but she is finally a little relieved after hearing this. I personally watched the grandmother massage Li Shenlan, and even checked the massage cream carefully, and only then did I feel relieved when I saw that there was no problem.
On the evening of the second day, everyone went to the Linhua Hall one after another. Concubine Xiang took care that Li Shenlan was pregnant and had a big belly, so she specially found two large sedan chairs to accompany her.
The two arrived at the Linhua Palace, and as soon as they entered, they saw Ha Baoyin sitting there with a man, and after receiving Li Shenlan's doubts, Concubine Xiang slowly explained:
The person sitting next to her is King Cheng Yin Quan, and Ha Baoyin is now Princess Cheng. This matter has not been approved by the emperor, but because she is a Nanban princess, the emperor can't say anything......"
