Chapter 299: How to compete for favor

The eldest prince watched Nalan Lan'er take away the citrus in his hand, and the whole citrus peeled by Cai Lian was handed to Nalan Lan'er.

"Mother, please use it."

Nalan Lan'er took it, broke it in half, handed half to the eldest prince, and held the other half in his hand: "Lin'er can't peel the citrus, let's eat some first." ”

It does take a bit of courage to eat oranges in this weather, Nalan Lan'er only ate one petal and felt cold in her stomach, and after seeing the eldest prince eat two pieces, she took the orange in his hand.

The eldest prince smashed his mouth and looked at the food that was put back on the plate to eat, "Mother, why can Lin'er only eat two pieces?" ”

"It's so cold and cold, what should I do if I have a stomach problem? Soon it will be dinner, and Lin'er should make snacks. Nalan Lan'er said without doubt.

The eldest prince glanced at the smiling Cailian, who was very bored lying on the table playing with his teacup, and there was no sign of anger.

Not long after, the emperor came.

Nalan Lan'er and the eldest prince basically kept looking in the direction of the door, because Ye Wushuang rarely came to Huayan Palace to show off, and the palace maids had maintained a habit for a long time, and they didn't need to shout when they saw the Long Live Lord, just kneel down and salute.

This is also the right of Ye Wushuang to approve the minions of Huayan Palace.

As soon as Ye Wushuang stepped into the hall, he saw a big and a small one on the table who had been watching him, the eldest prince has always been a man of action, and he rushed up as soon as he saw the familiar bright yellow figure.

He didn't hug Ye Wushuang's thighs, because Ye Wushuang had already crouched down to catch his precious son.

For the eldest prince, the mother concubine is gentle, the father is majestic, only the father can lift him high, or carry him on his back, and walk a long way without getting tired.

Ye Wushuang hugged the eldest prince, then looked at Lan'er who was walking towards him, and took out a hand to lead her, "A few days in Cining Palace, the queen mother embarrassed you again." ”

Nalan Lan'er's eyes darkened, and then she cheered up to face her, although she kept smiling, Ye Wushuang still noticed her loneliness.

walked to the table and put the eldest prince down, hung it aside, looked at Nalan Lan'er and said, "Next time you go to ask for peace, take Lin'er with you, so that the queen mother won't say anything when she sees Lin'er." ”

Nalan Lan'er looked at Ye Wushuang and held back the tears in her eyes, she was pretending to be gloomy just now, but she just wanted Ye Wushuang to feel more guilty about her, he knew that Ye Wushuang was a responsible man, as long as there was guilt, it didn't matter if it wasn't love.

She had already foreseen the end of not being able to grow old with him.

Ye Wushuang looked at her with tears in her eyes, and suddenly thought that she had been greatly wronged this morning, so she hurriedly pulled her into her arms and coaxed, "It's not good for me to be able to appear by your side, Lan Er Mo cried." ”

The eldest prince was also sad when he saw Nalan Lan'er's tears, and stepped forward to take her hand. "Don't cry, mother, when you go to the imperial grandmother in the future, you will take Lin'er with you, and Lin'er has been pestering the imperial grandmother, so that the imperial grandmother will not have time to say that the concubine is not."

Nalan Lan'er quickly wiped away her tears, reached out and touched the eldest prince to explain. "It's the mother concubine who is too useless, she sheds tears when she is moved, the emperor is too good to the concubine, and the concubine can't help it."

Ye Wushuang smiled, "Where am I so good to you?" I don't like it for you enough. ”

Nalan Lan'er also laughed when she heard this, and at this time Wan'er came in to report that the meal had been prepared, Nalan Lan'er got up from Ye Wushuang's body, and led the eldest prince to prepare to eat, since the eldest prince came, they were more like a family of three.

Ye Wushuang felt a little guilty in his heart, from the time he first entered the palace, he saw Lin'er and Lan'er looking at him all the time. It seemed that he had been waiting for him to come, but every time he saw him one night, he felt that he had snubbed their mother and daughter for a long time.

The rule of eating and sleeping without saying a word has been abolished in front of the warm three people. Ye Wushuang saw that the New Year was approaching, and the queen mother's birthday was also time to be handled, and only Nalan Lan'er in the harem had the qualifications to be in charge.

So this matter also fell on her, as if she had just been idle for less than a day and had something new to start, the Queen Mother's birthday? She even thought about taking advantage of the birthday banquet to make a few messes and kill the queen mother directly, which was obviously not feasible.

When Ye Wushuang looked at Nalan Lan'er and frowned, he thought that she was unwilling to handle this matter, which would make Ye Wushuang a little unhappy, after all, the queen mother was her elder, even if the queen mother had any complaints about her, she would have to take care of her more.

He asked directly. "Lan'er doesn't want to handle this?"

Nalan Lan'er looked up puzzled. "Why did the emperor say this?"

"I see that your brows are furrowed, as if you have encountered something difficult."

Nalan Lan'er smiled. "Back to the emperor, the concubine was thinking just now, how to make the queen mother's birthday this time happy to make the queen mother happy?"

Ye Wushuang smiled, ashamed of his misunderstanding of Nalan Lan'er just now, he was relieved. "This year is not a big birthday, just hold it again according to the standards of previous years."

Nalan Lan'er nodded, thinking that this was a free opportunity for the Queen Mother to pick her off, and if she didn't do a good job of making her lose her temper for the sake of the birthday star, then she really couldn't tell what kind of suffering she had!

Then she looked at Ye Wushuang and said, "The emperor's concubine has a reluctant request. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The emperor also knows that the queen mother has never liked the concubines very much, if he knew that it was the concubines who hosted him, he would naturally not be happy, and he asked the emperor to keep it a secret on his behalf, and everything was based on the queen mother's happiness."

Nalan Lan'er smiled and watched Ye Wushuang put forward this condition, looking like she really wanted to make the Queen Mother happy with all her heart.

Ye Wushuang was very relieved and generously agreed. Zhikua Nalan Lan'er has a heart.

The meal was very harmonious, and after Ye Wushuang finished eating, he asked the eldest prince what he had done this morning and what words he used to save his mother.

The eldest prince was a little hesitant, and frankly speaking, he didn't say anything to Nalan Lan'er when he went in today, because he felt that the imperial grandmother didn't like the words of the mother concubine, and it might be counterproductive for him to speak for the mother concubine.

Nalan Lan'er just wanted to tell the emperor that the eldest prince was doing a good job.

Unexpectedly, he has already given it up to himself. I ran away because I was asked by the imperial grandmother to call another concubine my mother.

Ye Wushuang was not angry, and asked, "Then you tell your father, why don't you help your mother speak?" ”

"Father, the retainer is afraid that the imperial grandmother will be angry, so he doesn't like the concubine even more, you see the imperial grandmother's favorite son, if the retainer is bent on the mother, the imperial grandmother will definitely give birth to the anger of the mother, that will be worse." The eldest prince explained with his own understanding.

Ye Wushuang was very satisfied, and Nalan Lan'er also felt that the eldest prince was thinking more than a little bit.

After sending off the eldest prince, Ye Wushuang and Nalan Lan'er kept warm all night.

The next day, the emperor pampered the concubine overnight, and the news of staying in Huayan Palace came out at once, many concubines in addition to jealousy, more of a schadenfreude for the concubine, look, the emperor stayed in Shuyan Palace for one night and ran back to Huayan Palace the next day.

can't keep a man's concubine, no matter how beautiful her appearance is, it's in vain.

I don't know if it's because the queen mother treats the relationship with the concubines specially, when the emperor didn't continue to go to the Shuyan Palace last night, the corners of many concubines were raised.

Including Concubine De, too, but Concubine De and Concubine Shu are good sisters, so she can't go to the door of her palace immediately to comfort, that would seem very false, plus she also knows a lot, Concubine Shu has read too many books, and there is a kind of arrogance everywhere, when she is not good, don't provoke her.

So Concubine De just stopped laughing after laughing, in front of a beauty like Concubine Shu, the emperor didn't linger.

What kind of poison is that Nalan Guifei. medicine, that's why the emperor is so fascinated? I wasn't even fascinated by Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu, who heard all the rumors, was sitting quietly in her palace and drinking tea.

It seems that the rumors outside have nothing to do with her, Bi'er has been waiting for her for many years, so she naturally knows her young lady's temper, and it is false to say that she is not sad, but she can't find a reason to vent.

The good education she received since she was a child will not allow her to behave like a shrew, such as throwing things and yelling and crying.

None of this, she could only sit down and drink tea, read books, play the piano, play chess, etc.

Bi'er stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang is fine, didn't Banzai Ye turn over your brand on the first day, Banzai Ye was also very happy the night before, it is estimated that the master of Huayan Palace knew that Banzai Ye was here the night before, and he was angry, what means did he use to coax Banzai Ye away?" ”

Concubine Shu sniffed the tea and shook her head.

Bi'er looked at Concubine Shu and didn't speak, she was anxious in her heart, Miss has been like this since she was a child, she won't say anything to the outside world, she just keeps it in her heart, and it won't work in the long run.

"Niangniang, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it!" Bi'er said eagerly on the side.

She is one of the few people who will not be punished when Shufei shouts, as if she is a little helpless, Shufei put down the teacup in her hand, looked up at Bi'er with a flat gaze and said, "Then you speak, why is this palace uncomfortable?" ”

Bi'er said tentatively, "Niang Niang didn't feel angry at all about the stay in Huayan Palace yesterday? ”

Concubine Shu looked down at the tea leaves in the teacup with a pair of peach blossom eyes, turned the cup and said, "The emperor was not in Huayan Palace last night, but also in other concubines, Bi'er thinks the emperor must come here every day?" ”

Bi'er lowered her head and whispered: "That's not it, it's just that Miss is so beautiful, how can the emperor be so calm?" ”

Concubine Shu smiled and said nothing, what others fancied was that Concubine Shu had such a good appearance, but the emperor didn't go a second time, isn't this nothing?

Hehehe, for her, these rumors are not without harm to her, if the emperor hears it, he may think of her.

In fact, she was fantasizing that if the emperor could treat Concubine Nalan like that, it must be the happiest existence.

It's just unlikely, the rumors are blowing with the wind, and her grace is not as good as that of Concubine Nalan.
