"After all, my father has always loved the fifth brother, and today's matter is over, with my father's temperament, I will not talk about you about the fifth brother in the future, and it can be regarded as a disaster."

Wei Changjue could see the pity in Wei Changqi's eyes, it was even more uncomfortable than Fang Cai's scolding, the dignity on his body, in the eyes of outsiders, was completely gone, but as the queen's son, he still had to support his mother.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm used to it, my father is willing to scold me, in my heart, it's because my father is still willing to discipline me, if I don't say a word and let me do things indiscriminately, it's bad."

The words were also satisfactory, but the pity in Wei Changqi's eyes did not disappear, but deepened, "If you think so, it's good, but none of us who are sons are Jin Gui, the son of the concubine." ”

Wei Changjue smiled faintly, today's situation is indeed the most chilling one for him in the past twenty years, but it is not so much that he can't hold back, the more he walks on thin ice like this, the more he can't show any unhappiness.

After that, the banquet was more lively than before, and those ministers who did not stand up all felt that it was not a big deal for the saint to say two words about his own son, after all, filial piety comes first, as long as the prince gets the due status and title, the word "Gong", just looking at the word, is not bad.

It's just that there is such an incident, the queen is more wary of Ying Guifei, she knows that Ying Guifei still wants to set the mind of the concubine for Changze today, but her son is already at this point, the emperor will definitely not give him a good marriage, if the limelight is all occupied by Ying Guifei, their mother and son will have no way to live.

So several times Ying Guifei started to talk, but was stopped by the queen, fortunately, the queen still has this power, and the emperor is not willing to really force his wife and sister-in-law to be anxious, Ying Guifei secretly signaled several times, but pretended not to see it and skipped it.

In the bustling crowd, many ministers began to move around with the acquiescence of the emperor, since they want to make a look of having fun with the people, such a scene of pushing the cups and handing over the lamps is also indispensable, and there are also many famous ladies around Ying Guifei who came forward to toast, and finally let her put the matter of choosing a concubine for her son back. Looking around, only the queen and Wei Changjue were particularly lonely.

Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was finally spent without danger.

After the banquet was dispersed for a while, after the emperor and the masters and ladies left, the palace people invited the adults to go out of the palace first, and the female dependents were led by more than ten palace maids, and then went home after a short rest in the side hall of Qihua Palace.

At this time, Wanyu suddenly said something in Lan Yi's ear.

As soon as Lan Yifu heard this, he exclaimed: "You are also bold, how can this be done?" ”

Wanyu lowered her head, her face was a little pale, "Sister Lan Yi, I just want to have a beginning and an end, and I'm already very scared now, I can't really marry him, if he mentions me to the queen mother, when the time comes, a holy decree will come down, what hope do I have for the rest of my life?" ”

It turned out that Wanyu wanted Lan Yi to do a favor and see if she could find a chance to let her talk to Wei Changjue, Lan Yi felt that it was a good thing to break it, but in the Forbidden Courtyard of the Deep Palace, how could it be better to make an appointment with Wei Changjue?

It's just such a coincidence, Lan Yi pondered about his thoughts, and talked to the palace maid on the side about the warm place to sit for a long time, and he didn't go far when he went out to breathe, so he went out of the side hall, and saw Wei Changjue only bring a little eunuch from a distance, and passed from the corridor not far away.

The hat of the "plague god" on his body can't be taken off, and there are no other princes around him at this time, maybe only the sixth prince Wei Changyin wants to go with him, but Wei Changjue doesn't want to drag him down.

Lan Yi said in his heart that it was really fate, and he hurriedly asked the palace maid to help him go inside and call Wanyu out, while he lifted his skirt and ran over there for more than ten steps, catching up with Wei Changjue, and whispered: "The courtiers see His Royal Highness King Gong." ”

Wei Changjue stopped his footsteps, turned around and looked, it was the little girl she had seen, she had two blushes on her face from the cool breeze, and the hem of her skirt also flew to the side, sure enough, it was the same as Jinyufang at that time, not very steady, she smiled lightly in her heart, and said gently: "Miss Pei, please be flat." ”

Lan Yi kept his distance, lowered his head and said, "I shouldn't have bothered you at this moment, but the cousin of the courtier has a few words that I want to explain to His Highness, and I ask His Highness to stay and wait." ”

The little eunuch beside Wei Changjue hurriedly said: "Miss Pei, the queen mother suddenly had a headache after returning to the palace, Her Royal Highness is going to visit at this moment, if there is no important matter, please find another time." ”

Lan Yi was stunned, and his face immediately showed sincere guilt, "I don't know that His Highness has something important, I really shouldn't stop His Highness, and the courtiers will retire." ”

She slowly retreated, but Wei Changjue suddenly raised his hand to let the little eunuch stay away, and then said in a deep voice: "Come here, let me ask you a few words." ”

Lan Yi was stunned, so she had to step forward again, "The courtiers know everything." ”

Wei Changjue's originally gentle voice was extremely cool in the winter night, "Let me ask you, what does your cousin want to say to me?" Do you want to tell me not to have any more involvement in the future? ”

Lan Yi was really a little embarrassed, these were other people's business, and she couldn't be allowed to put her beak in the slightest, but the other party asked, and she didn't want to answer, she hesitated for a moment, and just about to speak, Wei Changjue suddenly laughed, he was a man with a clear wind and a clear moon, this smile seemed to be a cloud-opening moon, "Miss Lao Pei told Miss Fang that I have no intention of her, and I will not delay her life." ”

But Lan Yi caught the loneliness in his smile, and suddenly regretted taking this matter in order to help Wanyu, feelings are such a thing, only the two people in it will understand, she is here listening to Wei Changjue's feelings, what does it look like?

She could only say softly: "Yes, the courtier will tell her cousin, but she may be almost there, and His Highness will say this to her face to face, or better." ”

Wei Changjue laughed, "Miss Pei, if you are rejected, it sounds like it will pierce your heart, but if you want me to listen to it twice a night, it will be even worse for my situation today." ”

He didn't have any intention of blaming, compared to Wei Changyuan's momentum, Wei Changjue was simply a casual and indifferent character like an immortal, Lan Yi thought about it, and suddenly laughed, "The courtier wants to say, the momentary win or loss and sorrow are nothing, please Your Highness don't linger too much, just like the courtier, although she is a concubine, but because of the early death of her mother, her aunt is in charge of the family, and she is often beaten and scolded by her father at home, but the courtier's skin is very real, and she has come over for so many years, and she is not living well?" ”

Just like Wanyu will have pity for Wei Changjue, Lan Yi also has some sympathy for such a polite person who has been suppressed everywhere, and Wei Changjue's situation is also somewhat similar to her, the concubine in the family has the power in her hands, no matter how good she is to the children of her concubine, those methods in private are unthinkable without personal experience, Lan Yi takes herself as an example, but it is more real than the comfort of others.

Wei Changjue glanced at her steadily, and was about to say something, Wanyu's voice sounded in the ears of the two of them, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness King Gong." ”

Wei Changjue was interrupted like this, and after all, he didn't say anything else, just looked at Wanyu, "Calm down, don't be polite." ”

Lan Yi was pardoned, "The courtier retired first." ”

Wei Changjue said: "No, if you have anything to say, please Miss Fang speak bluntly, it is better to have more people, so as not to affect the reputation of the two of them." ”

Wanyu's immature face turned red all of a sudden, and she swooped for a moment before she whispered: "Your Royal Highness King Gong, I want to say, don't be wrong about the sachet before, I'm just ...... I just ......"

"I see." Wei Changjue smiled, not caring about it, "At the beginning, Miss Fang gave me a sachet, most of it was just to comfort me, the marriage depends on the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and I didn't take it to heart." ”

Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, her face was still very red, "It's good that Your Highness understands what the courtiers mean, the courtiers are very afraid that Your Highness will misunderstand, if they become a couple of resentful couples, it will not be good." ”

In the end, it is a woman who has not left the cabinet, and it is really embarrassing to say the matter of marriage by herself, but this matter should be sooner rather than later, there is still room for refusal and reversal before the holy decree comes, and she must seek a plan for herself.

"The matter of accepting a concubine, I am at the mercy of my father's arrangement, Miss Fang doesn't have to worry about what I will mention to the queen mother, and it is not in accordance with the rules to give and receive in private, and I hope that the girl will not mention this matter again in the future, so as not to damage her reputation. The winter night is cold, and the two girls go back to the side hall to wait for the time to leave the palace. ”

Lan Yi saw that there was no wave in Wei Changjue's eyes, as if a pool of stagnant water had lost all hope, sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a smile: "No matter what, I still wish His Highness a safe and smooth new year, I believe that God will favor every good person, and naturally, will also favor you." ”

Then she saluted again and left with Wanyu.

also told the prince that he didn't want to marry, Wei Changyuan was that arrogant, Wei Changjue was so gentle, he only put this matter together for comparison, and he really made a judgment, although Lan Yi couldn't peek into Wei Changjue's heart, but from his eyes, he could also see his sincerity in making Wanyu feel at ease.

On the way back, Wanyu asked, "Sister Lan Yi, do you also think that the third prince is a very good person?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, "It's much better than the second prince." ”

Wanyu was a little sad, "It's a pity that he's not a good match." Sister Lan Yi, I just said those words to him, and I don't feel good in my heart, maybe I don't really love him, but I always have some good feelings that I want to be close. Today in the main hall, I was really scared to death by the emperor's words, and with him, there will be no good life. How nice it would be if his mother was a concubine Niangniang......"

Lan Yi thought in her heart that if it was Concubine Ying's child, she might not be born with such a character, and said on her face: "That's it, the wood is already in the boat, you just know what you are doing." ”

And Wei Changjue didn't stay anymore after Lan Yi and the others left, turned around and walked towards the Weiyang Palace where the queen was, if it weren't for the fact that it was more convenient to go to Weiyang Palace from the side door of Qihua Palace, there would be no such encounter.

In front of the two little girls before, he didn't feel anything, but he walked on the road, looking at the wind lamp in the little eunuch's hand swaying slightly in the wind, and a bleak feeling arose in his heart.

The concubine will not let him go, everyone in the palace who has eyes knows it, and the emperor will find an opportunity to suppress him personally for the sake of the concubine, which is also expected. He just didn't expect that this time the suppression would be so ruthless.

In the past, no matter how much trouble I had, I didn't really make such a fuss before the ministers. For so many years, what is the life of their mother and son in the palace, no one knows, no matter how hard he works, the emperor only has Ying Guifei's mother and son in his eyes, when was the last time his father praised him? I don't remember it for a long time.

There was a faint sound of cannonballs in the distance, and it was supposed to be the most lively time, but snow particles suddenly floated in the sky, and this thing hit his face with some fine pain, but Wei Changjue waved his hand, signaling that the little eunuch did not have to give himself an umbrella.

It's about how cold it is outside, it can't compare to the coldness in his heart, Fang Wanyu's words, he still heard them, for this woman, he occasionally remembered it, but because he knew that her character was not suitable for him, and it was not suitable for this deep palace, if she really married back, it would be harmful, so he didn't have any thoughts of going deeper. It's another thing to really be disliked in person.

The identity of the "prince" is worn on the head, and it is unlikely that the lonely old man will live his life, but finding someone who has a heart with him will most likely not be realized, the red wall of the deep palace, the top noble place, who knows how much helplessness is hidden.

Pei Lanyi's figure suddenly turned in his heart, but the next moment, Wei Changjue thought to himself, I'm afraid that this woman in the same situation as himself will eventually become his sister-in-law.

"Your Highness, Weiyang Palace has arrived." The little eunuch reminded.

Wei Changjue's thoughts were pulled back at this time, the mother and son were dependent on each other, and at this moment, marrying a wife and having children were far less important than the illness of the queen mother, and after stepping on the threshold of Weiyang Palace, he put these so-called humiliations in the back of his mind.

Lan Yi was faintly uneasy in her heart, it was true that everyone was seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but it was so obvious that it was really chilling, and it was not until she walked out of the palace gate under the guidance of a few little eunuchs that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The days in this palace are really not people's lives, and after only coming for a while, she feels that she has experienced too many things, but it is much more torturous than those petty fights in Pei's mansion.

Wanyu was not in good spirits, and was anxiously looking for Pei's carriage to go back quickly, Lan Yi had just sent the little maid who had been guarding the door to call the car, and as soon as he turned his face, he met Jin Yiyan hurrying past them, and accidentally ran into it.

There was a soft cry of "ouch" on both sides, and Lan Yi hadn't seen who it was, so he reminded him, "But be careful, you can't see clearly at night, it's easy to bump into it when you walk so fast." ”

It is said that there is no hostility in this tone, but Jin Yiyan's face is full of anger, and he said to Lan Yi: "Good dogs are not in the way, what are you sisters doing standing here?" It's very unlucky! ”

Lan Yi saw that she was not angry, because she was in front of the palace gate, it was not good to make a loud noise and even start fighting, but she just sneered at each other, "It turned out to be Miss Jin, don't blame you for bumping into me, it turns out that your eyes are on the top of your head on weekdays, and you can't see anyone." ”
