Chapter 67: It's all a good game

In the end, Li Shenlan still agreed to Yin Chen's arrangement.

In fact, even she couldn't say it clearly, and she didn't know if she had no resistance to Yin Chen, or what spell Yin Chen used, she always subconsciously followed his thoughts.

Fortunately, Sheng Ping went to Changle Palace, and fortunately, the queen is a kind-hearted person.

"Mother, shall we go back and pack up for the princess now?"

"Don't worry, go to the studio first."

Li Shenlan knew that if she didn't go back, no one would dare to touch Sheng Ping. In the final analysis, every mother is selfish, and until now, if Sheng Ping is allowed to stay in Yongfu Palace for a while, Li Shenlan is willing to do anything.

When the two arrived at the workshop, it was estimated that the time was wrong, and no one in it had already rested even with the guards.

When Li Shenlan entered the room, she saw that there were portraits of the emperors and empresses of the Great Qi Dynasty on the wall. The tradition of Daqi, whether it is a temple or a hall, the portrait of the reverence for the ancestors must be the emperor and the queen.

Because the first generation of the Great Qi Emperor had only one queen in his life, he made this rule, which can be regarded as teaching future generations to ask for harmony between husband and wife.

Li Shenlan looked around and around, and finally found the portrait of Concubine Jin.

Just look at the woman in the portrait, her eyebrows are proud, but because of her facial features, she is a little uncannibalistic. The snow-white skin was lined with a gorgeous dress that was very noble and cold, and the fiery red lips were so unscrupulous and proud.

Indeed, Li Mingjin is not like Li Shenlan at all, even if he has half a charm.

Li Shenlan was thinking about the sudden sound at the door, and turned around to see that it was the painter who had been living here.

When the painter was alive, he served in the palace and painted portraits of the masters of each palace. His painting style can be described as realistic and realistic, and many masters in the palace like it very much.

"But the painter?"

The writer and painter saw Li Shenlan standing there, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit him, which seemed extremely unrealistic. However, when he walked in and saw Li Shenlan's face clearly, the smile on his face froze, but it was also fleeting, and he didn't let anyone notice it.

"Weichen greets Concubine Lan."

"The painter knows Hongu?"

The painter smiled and then explained: "I have never seen it, but I have indeed heard of the immortal posture of the mother."

Li Shenlan also smiled, and when she saw that he was holding a painting in his arms, she thought it was newly painted in the palace, so she jokingly opened her mouth to take a look.

"Eh, it's really unfortunate, this is a painting in the Queen Mother's Palace, it was just a statue of Guanyin sitting on the lotus, but there was an ignorant subordinate who broke it that day, and the Queen Mother asked the minister to repair it."

Li Shenlan didn't believe in Buddhism originally, and she wasn't interested in these things, so she let it go.

"Concubine Lan came to the workshop, I don't know what to do?"

The painter said as he carried the painting into the Tibetan studio, Li Shenlan knew that not everyone could enter it, so he only stood outside and returned.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if you know a man named Amin?"

Ah Ming?

The movement of the painter's hand paused, but because she turned her back to Li Shenlan, she didn't notice it.

Thinking of the words passed by the apprentice who hurriedly came back from the Heart Cultivation Palace, the painter turned around and pulled out a smile.

"Niangniang wants to see Ah Ming's portrait?"

"Yes, I wonder if you can take a look?" Li Shenlan nodded in response.

"Yes, it's just that the painting has been kept in a high place, and I haven't taken it out much over the years, and now it is estimated that it has been shelved. If the mother is not in a hurry, please wait in the outer room for a while, and the minister will look for it. ”

Li Shenlan came here for Ah Ming, so she is naturally not afraid of a long time. So the writer and painter called his little apprentice to serve Li Shenlan good tea and snacks, and he brought a ladder to the upper pavilion to check.

Outside the house, although it has already been spring, the wind is still very cold. Some of the trees that had grown their leaves early were now swaying from the cold wind.

After touching a cup of tea, the painter came out with a smile, holding three scrolls of paintings in his hand.

Armin still has so many portraits? Li Shenlan was puzzled.

No one saw that the so-called Guanyin statue on the table in the room was blown open by the wind, but it was painted with an image of the emperor and queen.

"Lao Niangniang has been waiting for a long time, these are the portraits of Ah Ming."

As he spoke, the painter opened the paintings one by one, and the same woman came into view, a woman who was about the age of unbewilderment.

"I don't know ...... this Amin is"

Li Shenlan thought about who Ah Ming was, and which late concubine was the one who was so worried about Yin Chen, but she didn't expect that it was a woman who was more than a generation older than Yin Chen.

"This is Ah Ming, don't you know? This is the emperor's nurse, seven years ago with the emperor on patrol in order to protect the emperor was killed, the emperor for the sake of commemoration to let the minister paint this portrait.

Every year, on a fixed day, the emperor will take it out to worship, but after all, he is not a mother and a slave, so he naturally can't offer it openly. ”

It turned out that this was the case, after hearing this, Li Shenlan couldn't help but want to laugh at herself.

After making trouble for a long time, I was jealous of a deceased elder again.

After sending Li Shenlan away, the painter turned around and rolled up the three paintings one by one, hugged them and put them back.

Then I remembered the painting I had placed on the table in the corner at the beginning. He didn't understand why the emperor asked his apprentice to tell him to put away the painting first, and then show Li Shenlan the portrait of the nurse.

It wasn't until he saw Li Shenlan's face that he understood the reason. Then the so-called Guanyin statue was hung in its original place, which was originally the location of the statue of the emperor and queen. The emperor and queen seem to be missing a piece, and I don't know if Li Shenlan found it.

Obviously, Li Shenlan didn't find out.

At that time, she just casually looked at the portraits of emperors and queens from all walks of life, and then went to the concubine to find Li Mingjin, and she didn't notice that the last pair was not hung up.

Besides, in Changle Palace, the queen finally knew what Sheng Ping was going to send.

Because of the delay in Li Shenlan's place for too long, Hou Zhong never came to Changle Palace to reply.

"How can the emperor do this?"

After Hou Zhong left, the queen sat there a little angrily and even slapped the table.

Xiyan is also puzzled, the queen has always wanted a child, Sheng Ping will naturally recognize the queen as his mother when he is so young, isn't this the best of both worlds, why is his master still unhappy.

"Niangniang, isn't it good for Princess Shengping to come over, Niangniang will have hope in the future."

"You know what!"

The queen rarely shook her face at Xi Yan like this, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she obediently shut up and stood aside.

"Sheng Ping is not a child of this palace, that is Shen Lan's life! Even if it was sent over because of his body, he was afraid that Shen Lan would not follow it. ”

"Niangniang, didn't Grandpa Hou say it, Concubine Lan went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to make trouble, didn't this end up in the end......"

The queen ignored Xi Yan, but got up and walked out the door.

"Mother, where are you going......"

"Heart Cultivation Palace!"

Yes, Concubine Lan has just finished making trouble, and the queen is going to go over again. Although Xiyan didn't want his master to go over, he could only go out obediently.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Yin Chen was having a headache, and the Queen Mother had just sent someone to report that she had found an unknown fine work in Shoukang Palace, and she had just dealt with it. I don't know who it is, but I want to enter Shoukang Palace.

The queen's voice came from outside the door, Yin Chen sat down in the chair and sighed, and then raised his voice to signal for someone to come in.

"What?"

"The emperor can't do this?"

There were only two emperors and queens in the palace, and the queen was blunt.

"What did I do?"

Sheng Ping is Shen Lan's child, and Shen Lan even protects her as if she were her life. If you send the child to Changle Palace like this, Shen Lan will go crazy. ”

Yin Chen didn't look at the queen at this time, but lowered his head and looked at the excerpt, but there was no word on the fold, obviously just to escape the queen's eyes.

"Sheng Ping is for the sake of his weak body, and then he is Qin Tianjian."

The Empress sneered, "Qin Tian listens to whom, the Emperor couldn't be more clear. ”

Hearing this, Yin Chen suddenly raised his head to meet the queen's eyes, and wanted to say it well, but the words changed when they came to his mouth.

"Don't you cry every day with that broken rattle? Okay, I'll give you a baby now, what are you calling here! ”

"But that's not my child!"

The queen's raised voice, I don't know if it was because she was sad for her unfortunate child, or sad for Shen Lan, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"What's the difference?" Yin Chen replied indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, the queen seemed to see a stranger for a moment. Yin Chen at this moment, the strangeness scared her, since when did he change?

The queen did not speak again, after all, she knew her husband best. A king who speaks the same way, he decides things that are far from being able to be said in a few words by himself.

"Your Majesty, concubines are not fools......"

She Dong Siwan is not a fool, she knows everything Yin Chen does. In the past, she chose to forgive him for affection, but now, she knows that there is no going back.

After the queen finished speaking, she stopped inking, turned around and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Yin Chen sat on the dragon chair, perhaps because of the cold in the high place, obviously there was a stove roasting in the house, but he still decided to shiver with cold.

What do the Queen's words mean?

Not a fool? So after so many years, she really knows everything?

Impossible, Yin Chen muttered to himself.

Those things are so well hidden, not to mention that they can be said to be leaky, he can't believe that the queen can think of it.

At this moment, Yin Chen was sitting on the dragon chair, only feeling physically and mentally exhausted, so tired......

Besides, the queen, because there was no room for things to turn around, she walked back slowly and slowly step by step with some decadence.

When passing by the corner of Yongdao, I heard the palace people talking, saying that Li Shenlan and Princess Shengping were kneeling at the gate of Changle Palace at the moment.

In this cold and windy weather, I think of Sheng Ping's delicate body. Afraid that Li Shenlan would be careless when she first became a mother, the queen hurriedly ran back to Changle Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Li Shenlan kneeling at the door of the main hall with Sheng Ping in his arms.

"Shen Lan, what are you doing here? Hurry up and get cold on the ground, don't say it's you, Sheng Ping's body can't stand it. ”

The queen stepped forward in three or two steps, and was relieved to see that Sheng Ping was tightly wrapped by Li Shenlan. But Li Shenlan's hands were already red from the cold, and there seemed to be tears on her face, obviously crying.

Li Shenlan saw that the queen was coming, but she didn't answer the words and stood up. Instead, he continued to kneel on the ground, crying and pleading:

"The queen's concubine knew that she had no identity to raise Sheng Ping, and Sheng Ping's weak body may be related to the original witchcraft. The concubine is Sheng Ping's mother, and naturally she is also thinking about the child.

Even if the concubine doesn't want to hand over the child to you, for the sake of her body, the concubine has to send the child over by hand.

The concubine only asked the queen to look at the past love. Treat Sheng Ping well and raise her as your own child. ”

Li Shenlan's time is just for the future of Shengping. The so-called adoptive mother is not as good as giving birth to a mother, not to mention that Li Shenlan is still in the palace, so naturally she can't stand the pain of the parting of this mother and daughter.

"Shen Lan, you get up from the ground first, even if you don't tell me these things, I will naturally agree. Sheng Ping is the only child in this palace, no matter whose child it is, I am her imperial mother, and I will naturally be good to her.

What's more, if it is said that there is a child in this palace, it is fine, but I don't have my own child, Sheng Ping, I will naturally treat her as my own and treat her wholeheartedly. ”

Although it is just a promise, it must always be promised by the queen herself, so that Li Shenlan can rest assured.

It's been half an hour since I came here and knelt. Li Shenlan's legs were numb when she got up, and she almost crooked her feet.

Sheng Ping was held in her arms where did she know about the adults, so she only thought that her mother was teasing herself, and at this time she giggled and laughed.

Being laughed at by the child like this, Li Shenlan was finally a lot more comfortable. The queen hurriedly entered the house with the two of them, stared at Li Shenlan and drank a bowl of ginger soup before breathing a sigh of relief.

"Shen Lan, you really don't have to be like this, although I understand that you are a mother's heart, but Sheng Ping was sent to me, where are you not at ease?"

Li Shenlan was also a little moved, when she came, she heard from the palace people in Changle Palace that the queen went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to find the emperor for herself. In the harem, Li Shenlan can treat herself as a sister like this, Li Shenlan is really relieved.

"Speaking of which, if you really don't feel at ease, you can live in my Changle Palace, and the left and right side halls are empty, and Concubine Xiang will occasionally come to accompany you."

Niangniang laughed, where is Changle Palace elsewhere, and the concubines don't dare to live in casually. There is a mother's promise, and the concubine can rest assured. ”

The queen nodded in response, and it is also said that this Changle Palace is the queen's palace. Concubine Xiang occasionally came to the Queen Mother to know that she had to say a few words, if Li Shenlan moved in, let alone the Queen Mother, she would be a minister in the court, and when the time came, one person could drown Li Shenlan with a mouthful of foam.

"It's the palace that is negligent, so you might as well use it at night to coax Sheng Ping to sleep and then go back. I just made a few belly pockets, can you also see if it looks good for Sheng Ping? ”

Li Shenlan was naturally willing to say this, so she stayed with a smile.

Outside the palace, the eldest princess received the news.

The palace maid who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in Shoukang Palace died, and she sent a letter out of the palace before she died.
