Wei Changjue ordered his subordinates to set up a meal. When the clouds on the horizon were shining with the color of fire, a few home-cooked side dishes had been arranged, Wei Changjue was very satisfied, and praised: "What you do is very effective, you have to eat like this to be comfortable, saving money is a trivial matter, only a few dishes like this, can you feel at home." ”

Lan Yi pampered and boldly refuted, "Your Royal Highness really doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, saving money is the top priority, this palace is up and down, which point does not need money, always rely on the queen mother to help, but it is not a way, but you can only save a sip is a sip." ”

Wei Changjue looked like he didn't care, he just smiled and sat closer to her, "What are you afraid of, there is always silver for you, so you won't drink the northwest wind, but you have success like this, it's better than nothing, I feel like I've caught a treasure now." ”

"Isn't it a treasure?" Lan Yi was full of words, "Your Highness doesn't know how difficult it is to be in this family, none of those mothers-in-law are easy to get along with, but fortunately, this Wan Mama has been suppressed, and it will always stop for a while, and I can steal some leisure." ”

Wei Changjue picked up the chopsticks and naturally gave Lan Yi a dish, and the care he had for his mother in the past, somehow, was postponed to his wife, "If you want me to say, send the idea away, I will find a reliable person, I have heard about today's events, just listening to it makes me feel that you are hard, if you are tired, you can't be replaced by beating them a hundred boards." ”

Lan Yi smiled, she didn't know why, she looked at Wei Changjue at this time, and said a lot of words in her heart, "You know that I work hard, but I'm afraid that no one will know if I do something." Don't worry, I'm in good health, once upon a time at home, someone privately deducted my food, and my father was busy with business, and was stopped by someone with a heart, and I couldn't see him, so Ning Fu and I shared that pitiful food and hung by drinking tea, and two or three days passed. It's not good now, and it's rare to get sick in winter. ”

Wei Changjue lost his mind for a moment, raised his hand and let all the subordinates go out, and then asked, "There is also such a thing in Pei's mansion?" ”

Lan Yi keenly grasped the word, "Also?" Days like this...... Have you ever been? I always think that even if the situation is not very good, it is still a noble person after all, how can Concubine Ying ......"

Later, she didn't say it, for fear of hitting the unhappiness in people's hearts, but Wei Changjue answered by herself, "She doesn't really tell people to treat me badly, my father is not a perfunctory person." It's just that the people in the palace look at people's dishes, and they will only be worse than those in Pei's mansion, and the things they deduct are far more than those in Pei's mansion. ”

"But that's all in the past, and as I've gotten older, it's become less and less of it." Wei Changjue smiled peacefully.

It's not that he said it himself, few people thought that a dignified son could get mixed up with this. Lan Yi was a little sad, quietly reached out, held his hand, and asked, "Does the queen mother care?" This harem is still hers after all. ”

"How can it be that it doesn't matter, it's just that the queen mother has not cared about the affairs of the palace for many years, and she can't say anything, not to mention that she has not been in good health, but she is just hanging with so many good things in the palace, the imperial doctor said." Speaking of this, Wei Changjue suddenly stopped, smiled, and looked at Lan Yi, "Tell you that these scared you, don't you think that our Prince Gong's Mansion is in dire straits on all sides?" ”

Lan Yi held his hand tighter, and said very firmly: "I'm not stupid, I have long known that the situation in the palace is not good, but there is nothing to be afraid of, in my life, my mother and brother have died, and my father, aunt and other children have to take care of, am I also alone?" Before I got married, I wasn't afraid of facing anyone or anything outside, it was just a life, I was only afraid that I would have to intrigue with someone who had been with me all my life, it would be too tiring. ”

Wei Changjue held Lan Yi's hand in his palm with his backhand, "We have the same thoughts, how messy it is outside, how we deal with it, it's all a matter of the outside, and at home, we have to unload a burden." It's just that I've heard that other people have to be together for many years before they dissect their hearts and talk about these truths, why do we seem to have reversed the order? ”

"It's not necessarily bad to get it reversed, maybe it will take a lot of detours, I saw my mother like that, and when I saw the little girl sent by my aunt daring to kick my nose in the face, I thought, I can't live like them. I'm afraid I won't understand. Perhaps, it's not enough to live well now, but it's better than those greasy and crooked, because of some trivial things. Lan Yi was solemn again, and brought up his previous words, "You just said, how can the imperial doctor talk about the illness of the queen mother?" ”

Wei Changjue was also not sad, and seemed to have accepted this fact, "The imperial doctor said that the queen mother is not the appearance of longevity. ”

Lan Yi was shocked, originally this kind of thing, in ordinary people's homes, would not say it casually, and it was extremely taboo in the palace, so that the imperial doctor could say these four words, obviously the queen was terminally ill, and there was no doctor in the medicine stone, but she was just holding on to a breath.

"No, I didn't figure it out, I saw my mother before, and she was in good spirits or something, why is it so serious? If you are really sick like this, can you still walk around at will and laugh and talk like a normal person? I don't believe it. ”

Wei Changjue said lightly: "The queen mother often suffers from dizziness, early morning and night, often headaches, sometimes not well recuperated, and even the things in front of you can't see clearly, the doctor can't find out what the reason is, can only look through the medical books to see similar diseases, those people without exception, all died early, the doctor said, if it goes on like this, the queen mother can only be bedridden until death." ”

Lan Yi's blood was cold, after experiencing the death of her mother, she only felt that there was nothing more sad in the world, but her husband knew early on that she would experience this kind of pain, what is the difference between putting a blunt knife on people's hearts and sharpening it all the time?

"This, this, this must be what Concubine Ying asked those imperial doctors to say to you, or those people are only talking, and they don't dare to say a word, how dare they poke this kind of thing in front of you? I don't think we should believe too much at first, and then find some trustworthy doctors to help my mother and take a look. ”

"Actually, it's not that it's not ......" Speaking of this, he paused, as if he didn't want to directly erase Lan Yi's kindness, and smiled softly, "Okay, listen to you." ”

There was some silence in the room for a while, and in the end, Wei Changjue asked by putting vegetables for Lan Yi, "I want to go back to the door on the ninth day after getting married, I want to add something to the original return ceremony, which is my filial piety to Lord Yue, what do you think?" ”

To give face to the Yue family is to give her face, of course Lan Yi said "good".

I ate a meal for a long time, but while talking, I chewed and swallowed slowly, I ate very comfortably, Lan Yi had a big appetite, and a few dishes were cleaned for her, Wei Changjue rarely ate with this kind of person, and the ones he faced were either ghosts in each other's hearts, and there were needles hidden in his words; Either you have to coax and persuade the other party to eat more, so there are many more things in the stomach than usual.

"In the future, I will wait for me to come back and have dinner again, I will try to rush the hour and not let you wait for me." Wei Changjue said in the end.

Lan Yi ate a full stomach, walked around the house, and said as he walked: "Okay, if you don't come back, send someone to talk to me, otherwise I will wait for you." ”

At night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the spring breeze scattered, quietly pushing the window open a little crack, and the two of them washed and settled very early. Lan Yi was in a daze, feeling that Wei Changjue was holding himself tightly in his arms, and his previous fears finally completely dissipated in such a warm embrace, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell into the deep darkness again.

In the next few days, because Mama Wan was suppressed and no longer appeared in front of people, the palace was much quieter, and the mothers-in-law performed their duties and took care of the affairs in the inner house in an orderly manner.

But when the news reached the palace, Concubine Ying was not very comfortable, and asked Qinghe on the couch on the side, "That's it, just send it back?" ”

"Yes, those people are so stupid, they were caught directly, and there is no room to turn around, Princess Gong handed over the account book, and those who know a little bit will know the trick."

"Something that doesn't work." Concubine Ying was also quite calm, "In this case, let's send them all to wash the Gong bucket, lest the emperor think that these people have anything to do with us, don't send people to Prince Gong's Mansion for the time being, the palace has its own other plans." ”

Qinghe said again: "Yes, the slave maid will go to do this later, and there is another thing to report, and the family invited someone to pass in, saying that Mrs. Ruan wants to enter the palace to visit the mother." ”

Ying Guifei's mother was the emperor's edict at that time, and she was able to come to the palace to walk around, and the emperor was tolerant of Changfu Palace, every month or two, Mrs. Ruan would always come once, these are all great graces, and she confirmed the name of Ying Guifei's "favorite concubine", but she was not necessarily happy, just frowned and said: "What else does it require to the palace?" I was counting on them not to hold me back, but they were going to trouble Hongu for everything. ”

Qinghe persuaded: "After all, the old lady is also your mother, and she is still the emperor's mother-in-law, and the old lady is also the father-in-law, even if there is something out of tune on weekdays, I also want to fight for your dignity, and the house has a lot of expenses, so I can only ask you to come here, the slave maid thought, if I don't see it, what happened to the old lady after she went back, and it was even more troublesome." ”

Concubine Ying nodded, "This palace didn't say that it was not invisible, in the end, it was my mother, I missed her too late, how could I rush out." It's just that sometimes my family does something to subsidize, and I have a hard time. That's it, you send a message to her, let her enter the palace in three days, and we can also prepare. ”
