"Lan Guiren has entered the palace?"

"I've already entered Jinghe Palace, and Concubine Xiang has been gone for a while, and I guess I've already seen me."

The queen was embroidering with her head down, which was the regular dress that she had begun to embroider for the emperor a month ago, and because the queen always felt that it was imperfect, she had dismantled it back and forth four or five times.

"Niangniang, this regular dress has been embroidered for a while, how can you embroider your dissatisfaction." Xiyan is also distressed about the queen, and it is inevitable that she will complain a few words after a long time.

"Since it's for the emperor to wear, naturally you have to do your best to give it to him." Seeing that this yellow thread was almost used, the queen led another one. "By the way, the palace heard that the person carrying the sedan chair came back and said that Lan Guiren didn't sit in the sedan chair?"

Xi Yan snorted disdainfully when she saw the queen mention this matter, "She shouldn't have sat in the first place, the sedan chair can only be sat by the head of the first palace." ”

The queen didn't care, but introspected herself, "The original I carelessly patronized her body, but I forgot that it would make people chew the root of the tongue, but fortunately, Lan Guiren is a cautious." ”

"The mother helped her speak, and the slave just couldn't get used to her being favored."

"If you talk about being favored, isn't Lu Guiren more favored now? Why, you still have to squeeze on Lu Guiren. ”

Xiyan has followed the queen for many years, so she naturally knows that the queen's tone is angry now, so she hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Xiyan Bengong indulges you on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that you can be unruly, don't rely on being the dowry of Bengong to overwhelm others. The master is the master, the slave is the slave, don't go beyond the rules. ”

"The mother is angry, the slave knows that it is wrong......"

The queen didn't think about how embarrassed she was, and when she realized her mistake, she simply changed the subject. The day before the emperor made an appointment with her to have lunch in the Yangxin Palace today, although the meals were prepared in the Yangxin Palace, the queen still asked people to make some side dishes, all of which the emperor loved to eat.

"Let's go when you're ready, it's not too early to see the hour."

At the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xiao Dezi was guarding outside, and when he saw Feng Yu coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"The slave greets the queen."

"Is the emperor inside? Yesterday he made an appointment with the palace to come to lunch at this time. ”

"Hui Niangniang is inside, but he is discussing important military aircraft matters with General Zhao's father and son, but I am afraid that Niangniang will have to wait."

The queen was a little surprised when she heard this, it stands to reason that the generals who won the battle and returned to the dynasty had to be welcomed by the people in the city, and the emperor and queen had to greet them at the palace gate in person, why did General Zhao come back quietly?

"It's okay, the main palace is waiting at the door. When did General Zhao come back? ”

Listening to Xiao Dezi's explanation, the father and son of the Zhao family secretly entered the palace after retiring from the court this morning, and the emperor chatted with the two of them for almost three hours.

Just as he was talking, the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall opened, and the father and son of the Zhao family followed Gonggong Hou out of the door.

"Weichen greets the queen, and the queen is blessed."

"Uncle Zhao didn't say a word when he came back, he quietly went to the palace, the war in southern Sichuan is hard, I am really happy to see you return to the palace safely. In a hurry to come back, you haven't gone to see Arlo, have you? ”

A Luo is the nickname of Concubine Xiang, and the queen has always called her like this in private.

General Zhao grew up watching the queen, and the queen was half a relative to him, and he was happy to see that the queen was still affectionately calling her own daughter.

As soon as I came back, I discussed court affairs with the emperor, but I didn't have time to see Ah Luo, but seeing that the mother still treated Ah Luo like when she was a child, the minister was also relieved. Niangniang's health is fine, and the minister's complexion is much better than in previous years. ”

"There's nothing good or bad, soaking in the medicine jar every day, no matter how bad your body is, your complexion looks good."

The two exchanged a few words, and the queen knew that General Zhao was thinking about his daughter, so she hurriedly urged them to go to Jinghe Palace, and she carried the food box into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"It's time for the emperor to rest, it's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's uncomfortable if you don't eat."

As soon as the queen entered, she saw Emperor Yin Chen sitting on it and burying her head in the folds, and the pile of twists and turns was like a mountain, even the queen herself felt that she was pressed and couldn't breathe.

"Since the queen is here, I will take what you say, and relax myself."

The emperor said this, but his hand did not stop, and he reached out and took the recital that he had not seen. The queen shook her head helplessly, and simply went to the dining table on the side to make some cloth dishes first.

Besides, Li Shenlana, the two played against each other step by step, and the killing was very exciting. Not to mention the endgame, the two of them already don't know how many games they have in their hands. If it weren't for the sound of the piano to remind that the meal had arrived, I was afraid that the food would be cold and the two would still be fighting.

"I didn't expect Shen Lan, your chess skills to be so good, I haven't met such a difficult opponent as you for a long time." Although Concubine Xiang got up and went to the dining table, she was still unsatisfied with the other party's game.

Li Shenlan is also modest, although her chess skills are not good, she has followed Uncle Song since she was a child, and when she arrived at Taiwei's Mansion, Taiwei invited the best Go teacher in Kyoto, so naturally this chess skill is not bad.

"It's my sister who is humble and lets Shen Lan go first every time."

"That's admiration for you, if you don't believe in asking about the sound of the piano, I won't let you if it's someone else. By the way, you can try this bamboo shoot eggplant, my bamboo shoot eggplant for a small meal is the most delicious. Pander to...... Every time the queen comes, she has to eat an extra bowl of rice. ”

After a few rounds of playing, Li Shenlan and Concubine Xiang have long become acquainted, and their words and deeds are not as restrained as they were at the beginning.

The two were eating with relish, discussing that they would continue to fight in the afternoon, but a palace maid outside the house came to report that it was General Zhao and the young general who came to see Concubine Xiang.

"Father's eldest brother has returned to Beijing!" Concubine Xiang was obviously more excited than Fang Cai, and Li Shenlan couldn't hold the chopsticks in her hand when she saw it.

The gathering of relatives is a warm scene, Li Shenlan understands Concubine Xiang's mood at the moment, and naturally she also realizes, "Since the old general is back, Shen Lan will not bother her sister to go back first." ”

Concubine Xiang's attention was all at the door of the hall at the moment, and she heard Li Shenlan speak a little perfunctory, but she waited for Li Shenlan to walk to the door before she raised her voice and asked Li Shenlan to come and play chess with her again at night.

Li Shenlan smiled on her face, and when she went out, she bumped into the Zhao family's father and son.

"Ministers...... I don't know who you are? ”

"Our little master is Lan Guiren." Bang Chun returns.

Lan Guiren? Before General Zhao entered Beijing, he had heard of the name of Lan Guiren, and after listening to Bang Chun, he straightened up and looked at Li Shenlan.

Li Shenlan likes Concubine Xiang, and naturally respects General Zhao, and she has just finished saluting him and looked up at him at this moment.

I saw that the moment General Zhao saw Li Shenlan, his pupils shrank unnaturally, and even General Zhao Shao behind him frowned and looked at Li Shenlan. Although Li Shenlan felt strange in her heart, she soon stopped wondering, after all, she looked like Li Mingjin, and the father and son of the Zhao family were afraid that they had seen Concubine Jin.

"Concubine Xiang is still waiting inside, so I'll leave first." In the end, it was Li Shenlan who opened her mouth and left first, which broke the embarrassment.

"Daddy! Brother! ”

The last time Concubine Xiang met the two was two years ago, and only a few months after the meeting, the two went to southern Sichuan to fight, no wonder Concubine Xiang was excited.

"Arlo! Did you miss Big Brother! Zhao Li stepped forward and wanted to meet Concubine Xiang's embrace, but Concubine Xiang turned sideways and hugged General Zhao behind her, and turned around and stuck out her tongue to herself.

"Who misses you, I miss Daddy. Daddy, you've been gone for two years, and Aloko misses you. ”

General Zhao felt very sorry for his only daughter, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that she still wanted to pester himself like she did when she was a child.

In the east side hall, Li Shenlan went back and was sitting at the dining table to continue eating, which was specially ordered by Concubine Xiang to be sent over. From afar, I heard the laughter of Concubine Xiang and General Zhao in the main hall, and it came over one by one. Li Shenlan is not a jealous person, but at this moment, alone in the huge palace, listening to the joy of other people's family reunions, it is inevitable that her eyes will be red.

"Little Master ......" Bang Chun had seen the second elder of the Song family, and knowing that Li Shenlan was thinking about them in her heart, she was inevitably distressed.

"It's okay, Sister Xiangfei is a good person, and I am already very content to meet my sister who is open to me in the harem."

Contentment?

Perhaps, Li Shenlan doesn't think of herself as an unsatisfied person, but she is really prone to sentimentality.

"That's it, I just accompanied my sister to use a lot and now I can't eat, you accompany me to the imperial garden to shop, I saw that there was a lake when I came early in the morning, you asked the small kitchen for some fish food, let's go feed the fish."

Bang Chun was also happy to see that Li Shenlan could entertain herself, and hurriedly went to the small kitchen.

"Ah Luo, I just saw that the one who went out of your palace is the new concubine who entered the palace?" Zhao Li is used to being chic in the military camp, and his own sister is also unrestrained, sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed and eating, and the bowl of chopsticks is still used by Concubine Xiang.

Concubine Xiang pursed her lips and instructed Qin Yin to have a new set of dishes and chopsticks.

"What's the matter, brother, I don't dislike you."

"Can't I hate you?"

The old general Zhao on the side looked at it and laughed again, as if he had returned to the time when Zhao Luo was not out of the cabinet.

"That's the new Lan Guiren who has entered the palace, I look at the people and talk to me very well, and they are also speculating. Daddy, you don't know that her chess skills are good, your daughter has been learning with you for so long, and she has lost two games of her. ”

Concubine Xiang, who has always been dignified and self-controlled, is completely a little daughter in front of her father, and if she is looked at by outsiders, she is afraid that her jaw will be shocked.

Old General Zhao heard his daughter talk about Li Shenlan, but the smile on his face was accepted, and he asked a little seriously: "I heard that it came from the Taiwei Mansion, and the Taiwei has frequently sent people to the palace in recent years, and you should be on guard against this person in your palace."

General Zhao also had good intentions, but he never thought that Concubine Xiang shook her head very seriously and explained, "My daughter has been in the palace for so many years, what kind of person can my daughter see, she is very simple." ”

"Don't pretend to be simple." Zhao Li retorted.

"No, she only entered the palace this morning, although she has been seen for a long time, but her daughter can see it. Compared with Shen Lan, the emperor is very special to her. ”

"The emperor is special to her, and you and I are not stupid, you can't guess her face when you look at it." Zhao Li stuffed meat into his mouth again halfway through speaking, "It's delicious, eh, Ah Luo, you really said, are you eating the emperor's vinegar?" ”

It was a joke, but I didn't expect Concubine Xiang to immediately become serious, "Zhao Li, don't talk nonsense, don't you know what I care about." Over the years, have you found what you were looking for? ”

Zhao Li's head shook like a rattle when he heard this, "Nothing, it's the same as not existing." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xiang sighed heavily, and the old general Zhao on the side patted her.

"Arlo, after so many years, let go of what should be put down. The saddest thing in my father's life is that no matter how many military exploits he makes, he can only let his daughter suffer in this palace. ”

"Daddy, don't think so. The daughter has worked hard to let go, but the things he did to his daughter at the beginning, the daughter really can't forgive. ”

"Silly Kid ......"

In the imperial garden, Li Shenlan took the fish food and sprinkled it all at once. The koi fish in the lake are all crowded under Li Shenlan, like red water waves, wave after wave, wave after wave.

"Sister Lan? Is it Sister Lan? ”

A familiar voice came from behind Li Shenlan, and I saw Bang Chun looking over and hurriedly saluting.

"The king is always auspicious."

"Jun'er?"

Wang Jun'er was dressed in a lake blue palace dress, and she walked dignified step by step with her flag comb, and she was completely different from the girl who accompanied Li Shenlan everywhere in the past.

"Looking at the person sitting by the lake from a distance like a sister, I didn't expect it to be true."

"I was going to talk to you in the afternoon after feeding the fish."

The so-called meeting in a foreign country, the huge ** in the palace only made Li Shenlan feel uncomfortable, and when she met Wang Jun'er, she finally showed a little smile.

"That sister really thought of being with my sister, I heard the palace people say that you entered the palace in the morning, so I thought about looking for you in the afternoon." Wang Jun'er walked to Li Shenlan's side with a smile, but found that Li Shenlan couldn't laugh to the end.

"Sister is unhappy?"

"When I came to an unfamiliar environment, I was panicked."

"Although my sister came two days earlier than my sister, I haven't gotten used to it yet, I'm unlucky to share a palace room with my cousin, and my cousin has been turned over by the emperor in the past two days, and she is appreciated by the queen mother, and she gives me a face every time in the palace."

Wang Jun'er pursed her mouth as she spoke, and the whole person was also embarrassed.

"Lu Xin?"

"Now I can't call my cousin's name, if I want to call Lu Guiren, she has been flipped for two days in a row, and she is the most favored among our newcomers."

Li Shenlan listened on the sidelines, but remembered that Lu Xin teamed up with Li Mingyue to harm herself that day, and it was the emperor who saved her, and she also had a good impression of the emperor at that time.

But everyone said that the emperor favored himself, why didn't the emperor mention himself again from the first batch of people entering the palace two days ago to now? Or is it that with a newcomer, you will forget about those who have not entered the palace?

"What does my sister think? Isn't it...... Thinking about the emperor? ”

was seen through by Wang Jun'er at a glance, Li Shenlan's face turned red all of a sudden, which made Wang Jun'er laugh for a long time.

"Sister, don't worry, you just entered the palace and can't keep it up, and the emperor will turn over your sign tonight!"

"What can't turn over the brand, the girl's mouth is not half a sentence to cover, are you ashamed."

The two were laughing and playing, but suddenly there was a woman's arrogant voice behind them, and it was none other than Lu Xin, Lu Guiren, who was discussed by Li Shenlan and the others just now.

"Wang Changzai is really good Yaxing, let you peel all the chestnuts? Is there still time to run out and hang out, or is that two pounds of chestnuts too little? ”

Lu Xin didn't have a good time to speak when she came up, and the mention of chestnuts reminded Li Shenlan of the raw chestnuts she picked when she was in the countryside, because the shell was still thorny, Li Shenlan hurriedly reached out and took Wang Jun'er's hand to take a look, and sure enough, her fingertips were pierced several times.

But Wang Jun'er had no choice, Lu Xin was one position higher than her, she couldn't sit still like Li Shenlan, so she could only get up and salute Lu Xin.

But Lu Xin ignored her, and let Wang Jun'er half-squat there, and her legs trembled a little after a long time.

"The Lan nobles are also here, and I am a bare nobleman who has a title, but I will serve the emperor when I enter the palace, and I am really tired and panicked, so don't blame me."

"Does Lu Guiren think that he can do whatever he wants by relying on his favor? Are you going to let Wang Changzai squat like this? ”

Li Shenlan didn't like Lu Xin in the first place, and her rank was half a point higher than her, so she naturally didn't be polite to her.

"Yo, just patronizing and talking to Lan Guiren will forget about it. The king is always there, get up. ”

Wang Jun'er got up slowly, but she almost shook down because of her sore legs, but Li Shenlan quickly helped her with her hands.

"Lu Guiren is so majestic, let Jun'er peel green chestnuts? Even so, why don't I also find some walnuts, I heard Concubine Xiang say that the queen loves walnuts, why don't you peel a plate for me with your bare hands and send it? ”

Walnuts, which can be harder than chestnuts.

Although Lu Xin's position is also a nobleman, but Li Shenlan has a title, and other nobles naturally want to give way to the first class.

"Li Shenlan! Don't rely on you to break the title and want to play prestige in front of me, the emperor has forgotten you a long time ago, and when I am a concubine, see if I don't punish you well! ”

"Let's talk about it when you're promoted."

Li Shenlan didn't care at all, and let Lu Xin be angry at the paper tiger.

"You! Wait for me! ”

After Lu Xin finished speaking, he glared at Wang Jun'er again, and then left angrily. Leaving Wang Jun'er to sit next to Li Shenlan with a smile, her sister kept shouting.

"Sister is amazing!"

"You...... Come back with me in a while, and I'll find the doctor to put some medicine on your finger......"

At night, the emperor in the Palace of Nourishing Heart looked at the tray in the eunuch's hand and picked up Li Shenlan's green head card.

"Lan Guiren has entered the palace?"

"I've already moved into Jinghe Palace, and Concubine Xiang is quite close to her."

The emperor nodded with a smile, but he wanted to put Li Shenlan's brand back.

Xiao Dezi on the side was puzzled, he still liked Li Shenlan, after all, every time he went to Taiwei's Mansion to deliver pastries, Li Shenlan would give him some benefits.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lu Guiren gave Lan Guiren a big ventilation this afternoon."

"What?"

Seeing that the emperor was interested again, the hand that put the sign also paused, and Xiao Dezi hurriedly continued.

"It's Lu Guiren who is embarrassed, and the king is often peeling chestnuts with thorns, and Lan Guiren is so popular that he has a few words with Lu Guiren."

"She still has a vicious nature." The emperor suddenly laughed.

"But it's not......"

Xiao Dezi wanted to say something, but when he saw that the emperor took Li Shenlan's brand and turned over Lu Guiren's brand, Xiao Dezi was so confused and stupid that he forgot to continue to say something.

Evil as hatred, isn't it Li Shenlan? Well? Xiao Dezi couldn't ask questions all over his head, so he could only raise his face to look at the master.

Gonggong Hou couldn't pay attention to him, so he led the eunuch of the respectful room to the outside......
