Gonggong Liu saw the anxiety between his eyebrows and eyes, and his heart was clear, and he said: "After the slave finished talking, it is time to leave, and His Royal Highness will go to Qianming Palace early in the morning to thank him." Your Highness, please go back to the house as soon as possible to decorate, the newcomers have passed the door, but some are busy. ”

Chang Jue responded, watched Liu Gonggong leave, explained the affairs of the household department in a few words, and walked away.

Xiao Yanzi also knew the anxiety of the master, and urged the coachman to hurry up the carriage.

The carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion drove quickly through the streets and alleys, bringing a distressed and anxious heart to Lan Yi's side.

The home is still so peaceful, what Chang Jue was like when he left, and what he was like when he came back, but the eyes of the subordinates who looked at him changed slightly, as if they were guessing how His Royal Highness, who was afraid of his wife like a tiger, would face Princess Gong.

When he arrived outside the winner's house, Chang Jue frowned first, looked at Miss Tong who was guarding the door, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Miss Tong is also very frightened, for so many years, she has looked down on it, so she treats herself as a widow, and never shows her eyes in front of His Royal Highness and the princess, and Lan Yi never asks her for trouble, let alone doing the rules, that is, please be exempted, I originally thought that for the slaves, it was already a very nourishing day, but this time, she was carried in front of everyone.

She lowered her head, stepped forward, and said like a mosquito: "The princess asked the concubine to come over, but she didn't have the energy to greet the concubine for a while, and the concubine took the initiative to retreat, and Miss Ning Fu was also very apologetic, took a lot of delicate things for the concubine, and brought tea and water, so that the concubine could wait here for a while, saying that His Royal Highness may come back soon, and the concubine can go in with His Royal Highness to see the princess." ”

Chang Jue had something to say to Lan Yi, wishing that no outsiders were present, but he would definitely give Lan Yi face, and knew that Miss Tong had always been honest and now innocent, so he said, "Okay, you follow me in." ”

Miss Tong breathed a sigh of relief, followed behind Changjue, and walked in in small steps.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the house, and it couldn't be dispersed even when the windows were opened.

Lan Yi is close to giving birth, more and more uncomfortable, and her face is not very good, but the doctor also said that she drank too much fetal pills before, and they all said that the medicine is poisonous, and it is not a good thing to drink it again, it is better to eat some medicinal food every day to nourish the body, so what she eats now will inevitably have some bitter taste, and it will accumulate in the room over time.

However, Chang Jue is used to it, and sometimes he eats with her, and when he walked to Lan Yi's side at this moment, he saw Ning Fu nodding, and knew that she had told Her Highness to wake her up when she came back, so she went to call her in person, "Lan Yi, Lan Yi, I'm back." ”

Only two sounds, people who sleep very lightly are fine, she looked at her husband, suddenly smiled, and struggled to sit up, Changjue and Ning Fu, the two people, supported by the support, and sent the cushion to the cushion, and the cooperation was seamless.

Miss Tong watched from the side, her heart was slightly sour, thinking about how many times His Royal Highness had done such a thing, so that he could be so natural?

Immediately afterwards, Chang Jue turned around, poured a glass of white water and sent it to Lan Yi, Lan Yi took a sip of his hand, and then said, "You know that Shu Shi is going to pass through the door, right?" ”

Chang Jue nodded and said, "Actually, I ......."

Lan Yi hurriedly interrupted him, "You have what I want to say, and put it aside for a while, it is really that the Shu family will pass through the door, and there is something that has to be mentioned." ”

Chang Jue already understood, "You mean Miss Tong?" ”

"Hmm." Lan Yi bowed her head and looked at the concubine with a smile, "Miss Tong is a very honest person, for so many years, she hasn't caused me a little trouble, but how much she has suffered and endured how much loneliness, you may not know, I am a woman, but I know." She is now in King Gong's mansion, and she can be regarded as qualified, but suddenly a newcomer came, overpowering her so much, I feel sorry for her. ”

When she said this, Miss Tong burst into tears, and she almost held her heart and said that Lan Yi was her confidant.

is not favored, has no heirs, in fact, it's all right, what is really uncomfortable is that she lives like a shadow, everyone knows that there is such a person as her, there is nothing missing, but except for the personal maid, no one is willing to take what she thinks to heart.

In fact, she also understands that Lan Yi doesn't necessarily really value her very much, but as a master, it's not easy to say such things, isn't it?

"Princess, concubine, concubine, how can you be so considerate? In fact, the concubine doesn't care, she really doesn't care. She bent down, her head hanging low.

Lan Yi heard the crying, and felt a little pity in his heart, raised his hand and said: "You get up, let's talk today, the family closes the door and says something from the heart, don't care about any courtesy." I know you're honest, but honest people are often easy to be bullied, if a newcomer comes, and he looks past you everywhere, then don't talk about you, I'll be chilled. ”

Miss Tong bit her lip, but after all, she couldn't help but bend her knees again, and only said: "How the princess and His Royal Highness arrange the concubine, the concubine accepts it." ”

Lan Yi said with relief: "Okay, then let me ask you first, are you willing to leave the house?" I will think of a change of identity for you and find a good family, the other party may not be a man of the same age, or maybe the dead wife wants to continue the string, but by me and His Royal Highness, you can live a good life. ”

Miss Tong lowered her head, she had already thought about it in her heart, but she said after a while: "Princess, the concubine doesn't want to leave, don't drive the concubine out of Prince Gong's mansion." ”

Lan Yi bowed slightly, which was also expected, "Okay, if you don't want to go, I will never embarrass you, but you have to know that the future will be good or bad, no one can say, whether you can keep your heart, whether Your Highness and I can maintain your heart, these are not certain, but since you have chosen this path, you have to go on well, okay?" ”

Miss Tong nodded vigorously, "It's okay to be a concubine, it's not that you haven't thought about being lonely and old, but instead of remarrying and adapting to a stranger, it's better for a concubine to stay here, although lonely, but at least ...... Food and clothing are not worried. ”

"That's a very real thing." Lan Yi smiled, and finally looked at Changjue, "In this case, I will ask His Royal Highness for Miss Tong for a favor, Miss Tong has followed you, there is almost nothing inappropriate, now the newcomer wants to pass through the door, and the old person's heart should also be warmed, give her a concubine position, how about it?" ”

Prince Gong's Mansion was originally the purest prince's mansion in Beijing, and there were originally two concubines, both of whom had no impact on Lan Yi because of their low status, but now they were suddenly concubines and concubines, Chang Jue felt that something was in his throat, and he didn't want to say anything.

He looked at Lan Yi fixedly, Lan Yi also looked at him fixedly, and finally asked repeatedly, "Your Highness, how is it?" ”

Chang Jue went to hold her hand, Lan Yi let him hold it, the couple looked at each other like this and were silent for a while, Chang Jue finally said: "Listen to you about the affairs of the back house, and when the time comes, I will just say it in front of my father." ”

The concubine is not as noble as the side concubine, and she doesn't need a clear decree or an edict from the Son of Heaven, Chang Jue said this, that is, the matter has been settled, no matter how stupid Miss Tong is, she understands it, and she knelt down to thank her, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, concubine, thank you, princess!" ”

Changjue waved his hand, "You thank the princess, I almost never ask about the affairs of the back house, the princess's care for you is all from her heart, you have to take it to heart, don't forget, let alone why you can become a concubine, honest duty is your consistent benefit, you can't lose it." ”

Miss Tong's surname is "Chen", and from this moment on, everyone will call him "Concubine Chen", which can be regarded as a breakthrough, and it is much more convenient to help her family and walk in the house in the future.

She slammed her head on the ground and said excitedly: "The respect for the princess and the benefits of the concubine herself, the concubine will be remembered." ”

Changjue said "um", "Let's go back first, talk to everyone in the house, ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes, and celebrate and celebrate." ”

Concubine Chen Shu responded, and Lan Yi also added, "The place where you live, you have to change it when the time comes, find a bigger place, and add some more placements, after all, there will be some style." I'm just wronging you, and I'll arrange it after I give birth. ”

"Princess, please don't worry about such a trivial matter, even if the concubine body doesn't move, she is already very satisfied." Concubine Chen Shu hurriedly said: "The concubine only wishes that the princess will give birth smoothly and give birth to a little son for Prince Gong's mansion, as for where the concubine lives, it doesn't matter." ”

After saying a few words, Concubine Chen Shu is also a person with eyes, she retired and left, and after going out, she was naturally another kind of happiness, and she walked with the wind.

However, in the main house, the atmosphere gradually fell, and Ning Fu quietly retreated, guarding the door with Ruihua, not daring to make a sound.

Lan Yi didn't speak, just looked at Chang Jue, who was also silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth first, "I really didn't know before." ”

Lan Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to him, "Changjue, I was wronged, don't you hug me?" ”

Changjue was startled, but the next moment he immediately took her in his arms, this is a physical habit, he doesn't need to think about it, and he is still cautious in his movements, for fear of touching his wife's stomach or making her uncomfortable.

Lan Yi felt the beating heart in the man's chest in his warm embrace, sniffed, and said, "Father and Emperor have made it clear that Changfu Palace and we are not happy." ”

Changjue only asked, "Are you crying?" ”

Lan Yi shook his head, "It's just a sour nose, and you don't want to look at my face, in short, it's good to hold it like this." ”

Chang Jue sighed, "I'm always doing things that can't stand you." ”

Lan Yi said softly: "Before you came back, I felt very uncomfortable, I didn't even know what it meant to live, I had to keep fighting for it, and I didn't understand why a man could marry a lot of people, and women had to have children at home, and they had to live in harmony with other women." ”

Chang Jue smiled bitterly, "I don't understand, to be honest, no matter how many women come to the house, for me, they are no different from the air, I am guarding you, and there are so many things to deal with in the court, how can I have any thoughts to look at other women." ”

Lan Yi put his head against him and whispered, "I haven't finished talking yet." I wanted to say it just now, but after seeing you, I have figured out a lot of things. This position of side concubine, sooner or later, someone will come to sit, Prince Gong's mansion has not accepted concubines for a long time, it is already an anomaly, if we refuse again, it is unreasonable. I don't want to embarrass you, or embarrass Concubine Shu who is about to enter the mansion, and I don't want to embarrass you and other women, what I can do is to live happily by myself, and then let your women live happily too. ”

Changjue was distressed, "Look at you, I'm very wronged, after you give birth, I'll take you to have a good time in the capital, okay?" ”

"Okay." Lan Yi responded, and said, "What about Concubine Shu?" Concubine Chen, you have been in the cold for so many years, she is also good-tempered, and her mother's family is not useful, so she didn't mess with you. This Concubine Shu is said to be a royal marriage, and she is supported by her mother's family, so you can't snub her. ”

Chang Jue was stunned for a moment before saying, "I don't want to see her." ”

"It's childish, isn't it." Lan Yi tugged at his sleeve, "She didn't do anything wrong, she is a good girl who never shows her head in the boudoir, you hate her so much, you are breaking the hearts of good people." You know how jealous I am, how afraid you will change your mind, but I am even more afraid of forcing an innocent girl to a dead end for nothing. ”

Chang Jue blocked that breath and came up again, he didn't make a sound, Lan Yi also knew that he didn't want to speak, so he paused for a while before he said: "Ah, I will only tell you this, so as not to say it again and again, and every time I have to be embarrassed by the generosity that I pretend to be - Changjue, I don't care about the matter between you and Concubine Shu, when the time comes, you go to her and spoil her, it's okay, I don't care." As long as you take care of me, I know, that's enough. ”

Chang Jue smiled bitterly and pinched her face hard, "It's a good thing to be able to figure it out, but the way you look looks like you're pushing me out, I can't stand it anymore." ”

Lan Yi smiled triumphantly, as if she had thrown away all the previous depression, "It has always been the wife and concubine who pull the husband into her room, I am different, my sword is on the sidelines, maybe you will not be able to let go of me because of this." ”

Chang Jue said angrily: "Then I'm still happy for you to pull me into the house, Lan Yi, we have experienced so many things before, do you think, there will be any person or something that can make me unable to let you go?" ”

The couple talked for a while, and there was a faint laughter, Ning Fu breathed a sigh of relief outside the door, and Ruihua laughed at her quietly, "Do you see if what I said is wrong?" His Royal Highness's heart for the princess remains unchanged, and there will be no problems. ”

Ning Fu pouted, "But in the end, it's not the princess who is compromising." ”

"So what can be done? Even when the queen was angry, she was angry with the emperor, and she never resisted the decree. Ruihua sighed, "Niangniang is such a proud person, no matter how unhappy she is, she has to help the emperor draft and expand the harem, this is the life that women can't escape." ”

You can't think too much about this kind of thing, you can't think about it too much, it's just that you can't get along with yourself, everything is discussed, and the husband and wife have the same idea, which is already the best way to deal with new problems.

It's just that Lan Yi never expected that on the day the newcomer passed the door, she happened to catch up with her to give birth.
