Interpretation flowers have never been in vain.

Originally, there were talented people, although He Guifei was still in power, but her favor was not as good as before, but at this moment, with the invitation of King Qi and his wife, she actually brought back the emperor's favorability again.

Who is to blame?

I can only blame the emperor himself for being too coaxing.

Do what he likes, interpret the flowers, bosom friends, take retreat as advance, he is very good at eating this set.

Li Xuan didn't move, only replied with a reassuring look when Shen Qiutan cast a look, and the emperor saw that the time was almost up: "The hour is not early, I want to go and see your unborn brother, so I won't leave you." ”

"Congratulations to my father."

A new brother who hasn't been born yet? He Guifei suppressed her face and smiled hideously, He Miaomiao, that little slut, has not given birth yet, does she dare to say to His Majesty that it is a male fetus?

Dare to be surnamed He, when others heard it, they didn't know and thought it was her He Xiangyun's relative!

Seeing that Concubine He was indignant in her heart, Li Qian hurriedly pulled Shen Qiutan to retire.

When He Guifei saw that the matter was not finished, the soles of the two small feet were oiled, and she was even more angry.

She had already heard the news that Shen Qiutan had sent the palace maid who had painstakingly trained her and sent to the Qi Palace, and she wanted to take advantage of the emperor's absence to beat Shen Qiutan well, but who knew that she was angry just now, and if she didn't pay attention, everyone was gone.

If I knew earlier, it would not be so easy to take Princess Qi's tea.

Similar to ordinary people's families, although she is not a serious mother-in-law, but she is in charge of Fengyin's harem, and Concubine Ping died early, if He Guifei does not accept Shen Qiutan's tea, Shen Qiutan, the princess of Qi, will inevitably lose her reputation. He Guifei sighed, but if she took the opportunity to pinch Shen Qiutan at that time, the emperor would not change his mind so easily.

What a dilemma.

Concubine He Guifei was like a spinning top swinging back and forth, not only because she didn't give Princess Qi a dismount, but also because of the emperor's attitude, she suffered from gains and losses, and after a long time, she said: "Go, go to King Lu's Mansion to pick up Xi'er, and say that the palace misses his grandson." ”

Li Jue and Liu Wanyan's son is named Li Xi, the eldest son of Lu Wangfu, and at this time, only the eldest grandson can appease He Guifei's irritable mood.

As for Princess Qi, isn't it natural to enter the palace every once in a while to ask for peace? Sometimes it's time to take care of it.

…………

For many years, under the control of Eunuch Qiu, the harem has always been the dominant situation of Concubine He's family, and now although a small talent has come to share the favor, it cannot immediately change this situation.

Therefore, Li Qian only symbolically took Shen Qiutan to visit several elderly and unfavored concubines, and the last place he went to was the Rouyi Hall where the late Concubine Ping once lived.

The autumn colors are misty, the fallen leaves are flying, and the ownerless Rouyi Hall has not been cleaned for a long time, and it looks a little depressed.

"Deep and quiet, is this where you grew up?" Shen Qiutan's gaze stopped on the golden ginkgo tree.

"Don't you think it's desolate and desolate?"

Shen Qiutan shook his head: "I was born in autumn and I like autumn, take me to see the place where you lived?" ”

In fact, it's not just here, many of their palaces have been idle and desolate along the way, since it's not for the Rouyi Palace, why should they deliberately find faults, which makes Li Qian feel uncomfortable.

The sun outside is full of gold and jade, but when you open the door, the dilapidation can't be hidden.

Li Qian took Shen Qiutan's hand, and the two walked through the main house to the side hall, Shen Qiutan avoided the cobwebs and looked curiously: "Is this your original room?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "When I was a child, I always felt that the royal brother and the imperial brother were stupid, and I couldn't remember such simple things...... If the concubine is still here, see me now......"

His eyes were full of melancholy, and Shen Qiutan was silently accompanying him on the side.

"I'll take you somewhere else."

Li Qian pulled Shen Qiutan and ran, and soon left the yard.

There is a small moon gate behind the Rouyi Palace, because no one has walked all year round, and a few bushes of bamboo and wild grass have blocked the door. Li Xuan picked up the weeds, took Shen Qiutan out, and the two went all the way to the north, and finally stayed in front of an open pool of water, the white marble steps were thick and heavy, Li Qian pointed to the pond: "Here, it is the Beihai Pool." ”

Shen Qiutan was shocked: "Is it the place where you were pushed down back then?" ”

Li Qian nodded: "Li Jue has two vicious dogs, before the death of the queen's mother, Concubine He was only a fourth-grade beauty, and then the queen died, He Xiangyun gradually revealed her true nature, and she was promoted again and again, even surpassing Concubine Lu Xian, and Li Jue's vicious dogs were also scurrying around the harem with great fanfare." ”

He ...... Did you let the dog bite you? Shen Qiutan was very angry: "There are still people who pushed you into the water, have you found out?" ”

Li Qian shook his head: "The person who pushed me into the water drowned with me, so my death was an 'accident', Li Jue didn't let the dog bite me, but ......" His face seemed to be painful, resentful, and annoyed, and it was very complicated: "But his dog bit my sister to death." ”

Shen Qiutan was speechless in shock, Li Qian still has a sister.

"I hugged her, so small and so soft, a small lump, I can't wait to take out all of it to take care of her, but it's a pity that it's ......" Li Xuan's eyes became cold and hard: "Later, I beat those two dogs to death, and buried them in the bamboo in front of the moon gate that we just passed, which can be regarded as fertilizer." ”

He said it calmly and indifferently, but Shen Qiutan set off turbulent waves in his heart.

"The mother concubine had fallen out of favor at that time, He Xiangyun climbed Qiu Yuanzhen is when she was favored, and later the mother gave birth to a girl, and the father didn't care much about it, the sister died tragically, and the mother dragged the body that had not yet been out of the confinement to find the father and the emperor's theory, but she didn't even see her father's face. It is said that he rehearsed and danced with He Xiangyun and sang every night. ”

Shen Qiutan burst into tears when she heard this, it turned out that Li Qian had experienced so much when she was a child, and she hugged Li Qi's waist from behind: "I will be in the future." I won't let anyone hurt you again. "Even after going through so much, he hasn't grown crooked, which is really rare.

But the rarer it is, the more she feels sorry for him.

"I know. I know from the time you asked the Imperial Doctor for Mao. ”

"How do you know?"

"You are desperate for your brother, and you must be the same for me." Li Qian said calmly: "It's a pity, the mother concubine is not." ”

"How so? Who is Concubine Ping? ”

"Hunger strike, disheartened, she and her father had a mountain alliance and sea vows, deep affection, and later her father fell in love with her palace maid, He was originally the lowest palace maid in the palace, or her mother saved her life and brought her to serve in front of her. Hehe, the arrogant mother couldn't bear it, and the tragic death of her sister gradually lost her hope of life. ”

If his mother was poisoned, stabbed and hanged, he could still take revenge, but the mother didn't want to live anymore.

"But there's you!" There have been many versions of Concubine Ping's death, but Shen Qiutan never expected it to be this one.

Li Qian held the hand coiled around his waist: "So, you are different, I used to envy Maomao, and now I am the same as Maomao, because of you." ”
