Chapter 22: Swearing in the Name of the King

"Master Lan, according to the rules, you will have to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to thank you in person after the morning meeting."

Gonggong Hou reminded with a smile, but Li Shenlan still didn't react. Didn't he have a bed, why did the emperor give himself a title like this?

"Gonggong Hou is waiting outside, the palace will be over in a while, and you can lead Lan Gui...... Lan Concubine passed. ”

Although the queen was also shocked, but in the end, it was the mother of the world, and soon a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Hearing this, Gonggong Hou hurriedly went out of the door, and the concubines got up and sat back in their seats.

"I really congratulate Concubine Lan, I said that the concubine has been here for so many days, and Concubine Lan has been a concubine for half a month, in the end, the emperor cherishes you."

Yin Chen made such a fuss, Li Shenlan became the hottest person in the harem, and even Ke Changzai, who had been stirring up trouble, immediately changed his face and thought about stammering Li Shenlan.

Looking at the canonization decree in her hand, Li Shenlan had mixed feelings in her heart. rejoiced because he was promoted to a position without even sleeping in bed; nervous and scared, but also because he will be a thorn in the eyes of everyone in this harem in the future......

Li Shenlan only thought about it, but she didn't notice Wang Jun'er, who didn't make much noise from beginning to end. Everyone gossiped a few words again, thinking that the queen was also tired, which dispersed everyone.

"Concubine Lan, please come here, the slave has prepared a soft sedan chair outside early in the morning."

"I'm tired of my father-in-law."

Because she wanted to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to thank her, Li Shenlan didn't care about Wang Jun'er, and hurriedly followed Hou Gonggong into the sedan chair.

On the long street outside Changle Palace, everyone went back to their palaces, and Wang Jun'er walked on the road with Cuiyue's belly. Li Shenlan's soft sedan disappeared at the end of the road early in the morning, but Wang Jun'er herself somehow felt empty in her heart.

"This Lan Concubine is really promoted to a position and only cares about herself, and she doesn't say hello to the little master before leaving."

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you listen to what Father-in-law Hou said, my sister is going to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Xie En naturally can't take care of me."

Wang Jun'er said this, but she didn't even believe herself, and she couldn't blame her.

When everyone knelt down to listen to the order, the moment Li Shenlan raised his hand to accept the order, Wang Jun'er glanced up, and coincidentally caught a glimpse of the palace sand on Li Shenlan's arm that had not disappeared.

The nobleman who didn't even have a bed was promoted to a position like this. Is it because the emperor loves Li Shenlan too much, or is he reluctant to touch her at all?

Wang Jun'er couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Regardless of family background or luck, Sister Lan is different from me after all."

"Little master, don't say that, you are the most serious master in the palace, who dares to look down on you." Even though Cuiyue comforted Wang Jun'er, her mind still couldn't be pulled back.

Just thinking about the endless palace road, who knows where it will go if you go down.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Gonggong Hou quietly covered the door for Li Shenlan, and only Li Shenlan stood below in the huge main hall and looked up at Yin Chen, who was high on the case.

"Here we are."

"Concubines come to thank you."

Yin Chen's expression suddenly softened a lot when he looked at the painting, and when he looked up, he saw Li Shenlan kneeling there with a little restraint, and immediately smiled on his face.

"As I told you, when you and I are alone, there is only the wife of the son of the family, and there is no distinction between the wife and concubine of the monarch and the minister."

Yin Chen got up as he spoke, walked in front of Li Shenlan and helped him up personally, the smile on his face and the tenderness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Your Majesty, concubines are promoted without a bed, which is not in accordance with the rules."

"Call me quit." Yin Chen ignored Li Shenlan, and naturally took her hand and led her to the imperial case, sharing the sketch of the orchid he had just made.

"You always follow the rules in front of me, Shen Lan, how can the rules be as important as my heart for you? Well? ”

Yin Chen was standing behind Li Shenlan, Li Shenlan obviously felt that this king was hugging him, and his mouth was close to his ear and he whispered to himself: Shen Lan.

"Your Majesty ......" Li Shenlan herself didn't know why her heart was beating so badly, and she couldn't even speak coherently.

Yin Chen's slightly playful low laughter came from his ears: "What did you call me?" ”

"Ah...... Ah Ci? ”

Another chuckle.

Yin Chen looked at the ears of the person in his arms and turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, knowing that if this situation continued, this little man was afraid that he would faint.

"What are you doing?" Yin Chen let go of Li Shenlan, sideways took the wolf hair on the table, and asked casually.

Li Shenlan looked at the blue sketch on the table and was stunned, but still replied, "Painting?" ”

"Wrong!"

What's wrong? Li Shenlan looked sideways at Yin Chen's smiling face, but she didn't expect to meet him with affectionate eyes. As if she had been electrocuted, Li Shenlan turned her head and looked at the painting stupidly.

"I was going to paint a bamboo ink, but somehow I thought of you, so I didn't listen to this call, and I just painted it as an orchid."

After a pause, Yin Chen turned Li Shenlan to look at her eyes and asked word by word, "Do you like it?" ”

"Hello...... Like. Li Shenlan's tongue was a little knotted, and she always felt that the room was getting hotter and hotter.

"I should have given you a promotion a long time ago."

Yin Chen suddenly straightened his expression, and explained to Li Shenlan with an extremely serious demeanor as if he was talking about national affairs.

"A few days ago, I was wrong and didn't take care of you, and I wronged you by Shen Jieyu and them. But I have sworn in the name of the king that I will treat you wholeheartedly in the future. I knew you were scared last night, I didn't force you, when you're ready, let's have another good night, okay? ”

The lord of a kingdom, who swears in the name of a king to do good to himself; A person who can wave his hand to summon the women of the world, but said that he may wait until he is fully prepared for the Spring Festival again.

Even though Li Shenlan was ready to bury her lifelong marriage before entering the palace, she now has to admit that the man in front of her is the lover of her life that she recognizes at this moment.

"Good ......"

It was also at the moment when Li Shenlan responded, Yin Chen happily hugged her in his arms like a child who wanted to get candy.

"Shen Lan, he doesn't talk about concubines, Zhaoyi, concubines, concubines, I will give you as long as you are happy in your heart."

Yin Chen's firm voice penetrated into Li Shenlan's ears from his chest, and his chest was warmed by the sound, Li Shenlan closed her eyes and completely immersed herself in this beauty.

But I forgot that there were concubines and concubines in Yin Chen's beautiful oath, but there was no queen as a wife.

It was also because Li Shenlan was wholeheartedly immersed in this, and no one noticed that in Yin Chen's eyes, there was no trace of tenderness and sweetness at the moment. The dark eyes are like a well or two, bottomless......

When the two were in love, the voice of Father-in-law Hou asking for peace came from outside.

"I've seen Concubine Xiang."

Hearing this, Li Shenlan hurriedly straightened her body, covered her face with her hand, and wanted to retreat from the blush that had been hanging on her face.

"I sent General Zhao to repel the Southern Barbarian rebels, and I set off overnight last night, and Concubine Xiang is probably here to ask about this."

Yin Chen's opening to talk fell on Li Shenlan's ears like an explanation. It's just such a thing, the secret matter of the military plane, which should not be told to Li Shenlan.

"Then the concubine went back first?"

"It's okay, I'll let Xiao Dezi send you back."

Li Shenlan saluted, but was stopped by Yin Chen just when she turned around.

"Shen Lan, you will be wronged in Jinghe Palace for a while, and I will order someone to repair Yongfu Palace, and you will move in if you can get it right."

Yongfu Palace, the six palaces out of the Changle Palace, the closest palace to the Yangxin Palace.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Go ahead. Xiao Dezi sent Concubine Lan back to the palace. Yin Chen smiled at Li Shenlan, and then raised his voice to give an order to Xiao Dezi at the door.

When I went out, I saw Concubine Xiang standing outside, her face was faint, but the anger in her eyes was not well hidden.

"I've seen Concubine Xiang."

Concubine Xiang knew that Li Shenlan was inside, but when she saw the flush on Li Shenlan's face, she still frowned unconsciously.

"You go back first, let the small kitchen prepare lunch, and I'll go back after talking to the emperor." Concubine Xiang still whispered to this Li Shenlan in the end.

"Okay, the concubine will go back first."

Seeing Li Shenlan leave, Concubine Xiang changed her face and stepped into the main hall.

Yin Chen in the hall has long lost the tenderness that Fang Cai had for Li Shenlan, and the sketch of Lan was also casually pressed under several folds.

After the father-in-law closed the door outside, Concubine Xiang put down her hand and looked at Yin Chen angrily, and yelled angrily: "Yin Chen, what do you mean!"

"Concubine Xiang, don't forget your identity."

"Who am I? My father and brother have only been back for a few days, and you have been sent to fight again without even saying a word. When I found out this morning, both of them were almost in Danbei! ”

Yin Chen has obviously been accustomed to Concubine Xiang's posture for a long time, and although he was angry in his heart, he didn't say anything on his face.

"Zhao Xiaohe is the general of Daqi, and he naturally wants to go if there is a war in Daqi."

"Don't call me my father's name, I feel sick to my stomach."

"Zhao Luo! Don't rely on your Zhao family to have military exploits and look at the king, this is disrespectful! ”

Yin Chen was also angry, and after listening to Concubine Xiang's words, he slapped the table hard, and the entire main hall was an echo.

"Yin Chen, don't talk to me about these things, you are still afraid that we can turn against you for what I did to my Zhao family!"

As soon as Concubine Xiang said this, Yin Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, but it was also for a moment, and the next second he snorted coldly, but he still explained.

"Leaving Beijing overnight is your father's meaning, this is a ploy, you won't understand. Next time, when they come back next time, I will let you go back to the house for a while, so that you don't have to worry about it for a while. ”

"I naturally miss them, not as heartless as you."

"I don't care about you and me growing up since I was a child, and I don't have anything to do in front of me."

Concubine Xiang was originally going to leave, but when she heard Yin Chen's words, she became angry.

"If you really still remember the friendship of your youth, you shouldn't have done such a cruel thing in the first place."

Yin Chen knew that Concubine Xiang would bring up the old things again, but he still paused and frowned unnaturally.

"I know you're busy, so I have nothing to do and take the time to go to Changle Palace to see Si Juan, I'll go." Concubine Xiang didn't bother to salute, turned around and walked to the door. But halfway through, he stopped, glanced sideways at Yin Chen, who was sitting on a high seat, and said in a faint voice like a begging:

"Don't be so cruel to Shen Lan, there are already innocent people in this palace, I don't want to have another one."

Then, without waiting for Yin Chen's reaction, he pushed the door out of the Heart Nourishing Palace.

Besides, Li Shenlan returned to Jinghe Palace, and as soon as she sat down, several concubines came to congratulate her, and two of them had never appeared at the morning meeting. Li Shenlan also knew in her heart that they were all here to slap herself off, and I heard that when Lu Xin was favored, Huaqing Palace was also a good city.

"In the end, the emperor cherishes Concubine Lan, and the concubine has long heard that when the mother has not yet entered the palace, the emperor will ask someone to go to the house every day to deliver pastries, what a great honor this is."

It was Wen Guiren who spoke, and he didn't show up since he wasn't in good shape a while ago, but now seeing that Li Shenlan was favored, he naturally hurried up to stammer.

"Liuxia, all the sisters have come here for half a day, why don't you have some snacks to cushion your stomach."

Li Shenlan is also strange, she didn't see Liuxia after she came back, and she didn't know where she was hiding and being lazy.

"Slave maid, go, it is estimated that Liuxia has other errands to do." Bang Chun answered and went out.

Concubine Xiang doesn't like to eat pastries very much, and many pastries have to be made and eaten freshly, so the kitchens of various palaces generally don't make these. If the masters want to eat, they have to go to the imperial dining room to get it.

Speaking of taking pastries and dishes, these things are generally done by Liuxia, and Bang Chun also feels strange, he has not seen Liuxia in the palace for the past two days, and he doesn't know where he went.

"Bang Chun?"

When Bang Chun heard this, he saw that Qin Ye was standing there in front of Taihe's door, and he hadn't seen him since Qin Ye went to Taiwei's Mansion to deliver pastries.

"Guard Qin, aren't you on an errand in front of the palace, why are you standing here at Taihemen?"

Qin Ye scratched his head embarrassedly, and explained innocently, "I just ran an errand for the emperor, and when I came back and passed by here, it was my good brother who was standing guard here, and he went to the thatched house, so I will be on an errand for him for a while." ”

I don't know if it's because of the thatched house or what, Bang Chun's face is a little red and blames: "Tell me what to do about this."

Qin Ye also smiled, looking a little embarrassed. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Bang Chun thought about going to the imperial dining room to get something quickly.

"Eh, you're ...... Okay? ”

"It's been a long time, and it's naturally getting better."

"I heard that Master Lan was promoted to the position of concubine, congratulations so much."

Bang Chun only felt strange when he heard it, and thought that Qin Ye deliberately laughed at himself, "The master is entitled, what are you congratulating me for?" ”

"Naturally, congratulations, the more favored Master Lan is, the more you follow her, the less you will suffer."

"Yikes!" Bang Chun's face suddenly became playful, and he deliberately called out in surprise, "You care about me!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Ye didn't expect Bang Chun to suddenly be so open, and the roots of his ears turned red.

Speaking of which, how could Bang Chun have such a cheerful temperament, but he has been with Li Shenlan for a long time, and Concubine Xiang is very arrogant on weekdays, so he let go of his temperament.

"Well, I won't tell you, I'm going to the imperial dining room to get some snacks for the master."

Bang Chun was still shy in his heart, and ran out as soon as he said this. Qin Ye behind him watched her run like that, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice

"Run slower, watch your step!"
