Kangxi said: "Concubine Lan, what do you mean, I know that you are a little frightened because of this, just take a good rest, hurry up." ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "Your Majesty, as Sister Concubine Chen said, the concubine also believes that Concubine Yi is not a person without quality, otherwise she is not worthy of accompanying the emperor, but this matter has not come to light, so the disposal of this situation has confirmed the name of Sister Yi Concubine's theft, and Concubine Yi bears this name, and she will never raise her head in the harem from now on.

If this happens to her concubines or other concubines, the same result will be the result, won't it encourage the evil wind of the person who does it, and it will also insult the integrity of the harem. The concubines are bold, please ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

Concubine Chen said angrily: "Concubine Lan, you are so bold, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, you dare to disobey the holy will and point out the holy line!" ”

Kangxi didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves away, and Concubine Chen watched everyone leave proudly.

Concubine Yi stained her tears all the way to the jade, Shangguan Lan'er didn't mention it all the way, and returned to Chengqian Palace, she couldn't let go of her heart all the time, and she was thinking about what happened today. Approaching noon, my sister Zirou suddenly hurriedly ran in: "Sister, hurry, take the driver, the emperor has arrived." ”

After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Kangxi smiled and said: "Concubine Lan, I don't know how your lunch in the Chengqian Palace tastes?" ”

Shangguan Lan'er Bingxue was smart and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, if you want to know how the concubine's lunch tastes, you have to answer the concubine's question first, only if you reply, the concubine's answer will be the most true." ”

Kangxi said: "Oh? Concubine Lan, there is still this matter, you have such a skill, and you asked. ”

Shangguan Lan'er handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to know the taste of the concubine's lunch, so he wants to tell the concubine how you feel today?" ”

Kangxi laughed: "Okay, you Shangguan Lan'er, you are really smart, then I tell you that my mood was not very good, but now it is very good." ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "The concubine also returned to the emperor, the concubine's lunch tasted mediocre, the emperor was in a good mood, and it naturally tasted like a delicacy." ”

Kangxi laughed, and when Father-in-law Xi and others saw Long Yan Dayue, they all accompanied him.

Kangxi continued: "Concubine Lan, tell me truthfully, today at Concubine Chen's place, I brushed my sleeves away, do you blame me in your heart?" ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine did not blame the emperor, but she was puzzled, the emperor was bright, and he would definitely not deal with it like this, so that Sister Yi Concubine suffered such a great humiliation." ”

Kangxi said with a smile: "Concubine Lan, you are thoughtful and good-natured, I am here to untie your heart knot, I am afraid that your heart will fall into a dead end and disturb your mood." Although Concubine Yi came from a humble background, I never looked down on her, on the contrary, I often encouraged her that in addition to her background, more important is her heart. Today's events, for her, can be regarded as a test of survival in the harem, I naturally know it, you tell me, what do you think of today's events? ”

Shangguan Lan'er said with a smile: "The concubine thanked the emperor for caring so much about the concubine, taking into account the concubine's thoughts, today's affairs, the virtue of the concubine, there will be no debt, and the golden hairpin will change hands, there will be something strange."

If there is no wind, there will be no waves, and those involved in this matter are only the three concubines and concubines, and the concubines and concubines have no reason to act like this, as for whether Concubine Chen's sister is related, the concubines dare not comment on it.

But to be able to hide the golden jade hairpin in the secret place of the Yanxi Palace, it must have been done by the people around the two sisters. I once asked Concubine Yi, because her family background is mediocre, she has no money, and no palace maid eunuch is willing to work as an errand in Yanxi Palace, but anyone who has a little way of being a bit of a doorway has tried to be transferred to other palaces, and now, there are only two eunuchs and two palace maids in Yanxi Palace, and one palace maid went to Yikun Palace with Concubine Chen that day, and the other palace maid is the biggest suspect.

In Concubine Chen's sister's Yikun Palace, only the palace maid Ziling can enter her inner court, she must have something to do with this matter, Jin Yuchai or personally handed over to the palace maid of Yanxi Palace, or passed it on to Yanxi Palace through the eunuch, and finally framed Concubine Yi. This matter will be strictly investigated by the two palace maids, and the two compartments will be a pair, and they will come to light. ”

Kangxi said: "Do you know why there is no fanfare to investigate this matter thoroughly? ”

Shangguan Lan'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to discuss the government!" ”

Kangxi said: "Well, yes, Concubine Lan, how can you be so transparent, if you are like your brother Jade Qilin, you can make good decisions, you think well, it is true."

Soon after I was in power, the foundation was not stable, since Sonny passed away, the family was dominant, aggressive to me, dictatorship, Concubine Chen's father has been wavering, since Concubine Chen entered the palace, he has fully supported me, so the matter of the harem, I also cast a mouse taboo, that is, let Concubine Yi suffer this humiliation, I am very unhappy. I don't know that Concubine Yi is being wronged, and I will give her thoughtfulness, but not now, you will secretly investigate this matter thoroughly, and you must not tolerate this evil spirit in the palace, in addition, go to visit Concubine Yi on my behalf and tell her that she is suffering on behalf of me, and there is no need to take it to heart. ”

Shangguan Lan'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with your message, the concubines are suddenly relieved, the concubines will often visit Sister Yi, and she will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts." The emperor doesn't have to worry, the concubines understand that this is the emperor's imperial technique, and they have to do it as a last resort. ”

Kangxi laughed and said, "I'm hungry, can I eat?" ”

Shangguan Lan'er hurriedly instructed Zirou to serve the meal, and Kangxi and Kangxi were happy. In the next few days, Shangguan Lan'er also often went to visit Concubine Yi Nangong Yan.

"What? Concubine Lan actually went to visit Concubine Yi during the confinement period, and she visited many times, and she also brought a lot of things, did she forget that the emperor brushed his sleeves away because of this matter the day before yesterday, and she was bolder! Concubine Chen said hatefully to the palace maid Ziling.

Ziling said: "Yes, Concubine Lan is indeed bold, and regardless of her friendship with Niangniang, she has gone to visit Concubine Yi many times, we have to find a way to rectify her, and let these concubines, nobles, and promisers know the prestige of Niangniang!" Mother, what do you think of this? Ziling said the idea in her heart, and Concubine Chen was very happy and told her to be careful.

At the end of the day, Shangguan Lan'er took her sister Zirou to toss and turn as in the past, and came to Yanxi Palace to visit Concubine Yi. When a few people were talking, they suddenly heard a noise of people outside, and there was a burst of confusion. Xiao Shunzi, the only remaining eunuch of Concubine Yi, ran in in a panic: "Niangniang, it's not good, Concubine Chen Niangniang is about to come in with Concubine Zhao, the queen, and the emperor." ”

Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Sister, how is this good, it will hurt my sister." While speaking, everyone and the palace maids and eunuchs entered the room.

Seeing that Concubine Chen was arrogant and commanding, she said in a loud voice: "Bold Concubine Lan, you dare to visit Concubine Yi during the lockdown many times, ignoring the emperor's will, you can be guilty, today see what else you have to say." ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "How does Sister Concubine Chen know that I have visited Sister Concubine Yi many times, is it difficult to send someone to spy on me?" ”

Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Hugh is so hard-mouthed, since I have already arrested you, it is difficult to argue with your mouth." And thou wilt thou be convicted? ”

Concubine Zhao said: "Concubine Chen, don't be impatient, Concubine Lan, come on, why did you ignore the emperor's order to visit Concubine Yi in Yanxi Palace?" ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "Back to Concubine Zhao, only the palace maid Xiang'er and the eunuch Xiaoshunzi are left to take care of Sister Yi, and the concubine is worried about Sister Yi in her heart, so she came to visit, and the concubine confessed." ”

Concubine Chen said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lan's move is very hateful, she has secretly visited Concubine Yi many times, disregarding the emperor's orders, please ask the emperor to severely punish Concubine Lan, to correct the eyes and ears, and to clear the spirit of the harem!" ”

Several nobles who were attached to Concubine Zhao and Concubine Chen, Chang Zai and Promise also echoed in unison.

Kangxi was full of anger, stepped forward to look at Shangguan Lan'er and Concubine Yi, and said, "Concubine Chen, is this the Yanxi Palace where you ordered people to be entrusted to me, will something big happen?"

During the period of concubine Yi's confinement, Concubine Lan disregarded the etiquette law, visited privately, and severely punished according to the law. ”

When several people heard this, they replied in unison: "The emperor is sage!" ”。

Kangxi then walked in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Concubine Lan attaches great importance to love and righteousness, just like you and others tonight, sisterhood is deep, affectionate and righteous, I am very comforted, appreciate Concubine Lan's ten horses of Shu brocade, one hundred taels of gold, all retreat!" ”

With that, he and the queen Hesheri departed, leaving everyone standing there in a daze.
