Hongli asked the Queen Mother to go back, and then took the imperial chariot to go back. The spring was bright and sunny along the way, which provoked him to take a few more looks.

Li Yu saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and couldn't help but laugh happily: "How can such a good spring be disappointed, it's almost time for dinner, the emperor might as well go to the palace of the lady and the little lord to sit and eat together." ”

Strange to say, since the Bilu clan was by his side, Hongli always felt a lot more cheerful. From the day before yesterday, when I walked on this palace road, I didn't feel anything when I saw this flower and grass every day.

But at this time, as soon as he saw the fresh and tender color in his eyes, Hongli's mind appeared Qiao Er's lovely appearance. "Just go to ......"

"Your Majesty, the slave remembered that Aunt Suo Lan, who was next to the queen's mother, went to the Internal Affairs Office today to get a purple ginseng, saying that she wanted to boil a pot of bamboo and chicken ginseng soup to replenish her body. Why don't you go and try it too? ”

Hongli originally wanted to go to see Bilu and agreed, but Li Yu interjected, which made him change his original intention. "It's good that I haven't been to the Queen's Palace in days. Since the queen advocated moderation, the money was indeed loose. It's hard for her to think so thoughtfully. ”

"Okay." Li Yu was happy in his heart, and said in a raised voice: "Go to Changchun Palace." ”

"How about a taste?" Suo Lan respectfully held the phoenix-patterned silver bowl and presented it to the queen: "They are all in accordance with the instructions of the mother, and they have been simmering for this day." ”

Lan Xin took a sip, slowly tasted the taste between her lips and teeth, and said with a slight smile: "It is indeed a taste that has only been simmered for a day, and the emperor must like it." ”

"Do you think the emperor will definitely come?" Suo Lan asked, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart. "The slave maid did meet Li Yu according to the instructions of the mother, Li Yu was clever, and she would inevitably say this to the emperor casually. But in recent days, the emperor has either eaten in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, or has gone to the little master of Bilu, and the slaves and maids are worried......"

Jin Lan leaned his elbow against Suo Lan's body, interrupted her words, and said to himself: "No matter how good the little master Bilan is, the emperor is just trying to be fresh." Niangniang and the emperor Qinse have been harmonious and affectionate for more than ten years, how can the emperor treat Niangniang sincerely. ”

"That's not what the slave meant. I'm just afraid that the queen will waste her mind. Suo Lan thinks that at this moment, it must be human nature to like the new and hate the old. What's more, these days, the grace that Bilu promised is indeed too strong, and it still overshadows the previous Hui Guifei. No wonder she speculated like that.

Lan Xin listened to the words of the two, took another sip of soup, and finally said: "It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor so happy." Xu Yes, this Bilu promised that there was really some way. Even if the emperor doesn't come today, there will be no complaints in the palace. Who doesn't like pure beauty, will they yearn for the heavy? ”

"Niangniang, forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much. For the long-term plan of the mother, the middle palace must not be without an heir. The mother is strong, and she will definitely be able to add a few more little brothers to the emperor. Instead of spending time on these little things to eat, why didn't Niangniang hold the emperor's heart? "Jinlan knows the queen's thoughts about the emperor best, and she has always seen it clearly all the way over the years.

She asked this just because she was anxious for the queen, the new palace concubines were all like flowers, and there was no shortage of noble-borns. It is difficult to ensure that the emperor is tempted, and he will not reuse his mother's relatives, so he has become the likes of Hui Guifei again. When it becomes more and more difficult to control, it is better to take action now and regain the sacred heart.

"How the Hongu you're worried about doesn't understand." Lan Xin put down the silver bowl, glanced at the phoenix tail swirl at the bottom of the bowl, and said with a light smile: "The emperor is on the rise, if the palace fights at this time, it will not only be accused of being unvirtuous, but also thankless." In the end, this palace has passed the flower-like age, and where can it compare to those budding new loves.

It's better to be virtuous and virtuous and do some small things within your ability. The emperor's enterprising stomach will inevitably remember the good of this palace. ”

I don't know why, Lan Xin's words were so sad. Even the obedient people couldn't help but look sad. "What's more, there is still the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother doesn't mind how the rest of the palace concubines fight openly and secretly, but she really cares about the power in the hands of the palace. If it is true that the palace can't bear the temperament and fights for favor, the queen mother must have a way to cut off the outstretched hand of the palace. ”

"The slave is reckless." Jin Lan felt very uncomfortable in her heart: "Niangniang never calculated her love with the emperor like this before, but now she is ......"

"It is precisely because this palace has never calculated these in the past, thinking that the emperor is the whole of this palace, that it will end up like a field." Lan Xin bit every word very truly, like a knife cutting through the most tender part of his heart, and he didn't know what to do with the pain.

Xue Guining walked in quickly, and before he could speak, he had already heard Li Yu pass outside the door: "The emperor has arrived." ”

Lan Xin immediately wiped away the gloom on his face, got up happily, and walked respectfully to the door with Suo Lan's hand: "The concubine greets the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"I heard Li Yu say that there is bamboo and chicken ginseng soup in your palace today, so I couldn't help but come uninvited, Lan Xin shouldn't be disgusted." Hongli's spirit is excellent, and his tone is warm. It seems to go back to the past, just the time of the prince.

"The concubines can't ask for it, so where can they be suspicious." Lan Xin put his hand on Hongli's palm, and his eyes were as warm as before: "The emperor is also hungry, so let the concubines let them prepare." ”

"Yes." Suo Lan and Jin Lan both retreated when they heard this, and Li Yu also withdrew together.

Only Hongli and Lan Xin were left sitting opposite each other, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little different.

Lan Xin sensitively sensed this difference, and hurriedly found a conversation and said: "The emperor is refreshed, it seems that Bilu's promise is indeed very lively and cute." ”

Hongli pursed his thin lips, and a smile came up. "Even if Bing Xue is smart and innocent, I am opposite her, and there doesn't seem to be much trouble."

"It's already good." Lan Xin lowered her head, her eyebrows were dyed with a sad color: "The concubines have served the emperor for more than ten years, and they have repeatedly failed, not only can not make the emperor feel comfortable and happy, but they add trouble. Fortunately, Sister Bilu did not make the emperor sad and hurt the dragon body. ”

"Lan Xin." Hongli's tone exuded a faint sadness: "Yonglian's matter, the most painful thing is you, the mother." No one can calculate that this will be the case, so why should you embarrass yourself. ”

"Doesn't the emperor blame the concubines for being stubborn, ignoring the relationship between husband and wife and affecting Yonglian?" Lan Xin wanted to laugh but couldn't help crying, his expression looked distorted and distressing. But it's so real: "If Lan Xin wants to choose again, Lan Xin is willing to admit his mistake from the beginning, not to be angry with the emperor, and not to let Yonglian do such a stupid thing for Eniang." In the end, it was the concubine who killed the flesh and blood of others, and God wanted to take Yonglian's life, if he could choose, the concubine would be willing to exchange himself for him......"

After saying that, Hongli's heart is not so awkward. At first, the queen was reluctant to admit the death of the emperor's heir in Nian's womb, which was her intention. But now the sentence "killed the flesh and blood of others" can be regarded as admitting his own mistakes. In fact, that child is bound to die, and the only thing that is unhappy in his heart is whether he admits it or not.

Hongli doesn't like the people around him to disobey his heart, and he doesn't like someone to violate the imperial power. Even if this person is a queen who gets along day and night, it is no exception. People who are used to being the Lord never want someone around them to make decisions for them.

"I know what you're thinking." Hongli stretched out his hand and grabbed Lan Xin's shoulders: "I always feel that Yonglian will not practice himself like this. He is so intelligent and filial, and he values brotherhood, how can he ......"

This is exactly what Lan Xin wants to hear, and when it comes out of the emperor's mouth, she is both relieved and heartbroken. Needless to say, it is gratifying, but the heartache is bitter that there is no evidence of guilt. Is it really the alliance between Hui Guifei and Chunfei? It is unknown whether Concubine Xian is a hindrance, or if the hands of these three people are stained with Yonglian's blood.

These things were twisted in his mind over and over again, and his flesh and blood were flying, and Lan Xin really felt that his heart was haggard.

Lying in the emperor's arms, she whimpered lowly: "The concubine's heart hurts so much, I don't know what to do when it hurts." Fortunately, the emperor can have someone to love by his side, otherwise the concubines would not be able to comfort the monarch and lose the concubine of the middle palace......"

"Lan Xin, you are still young, I will have a sister-in-law with you sooner or later." Hongli gently stroked Lan Xin's smooth and neat bun, and said movingly: "I asked the imperial doctor, saying that your body has not fully recovered, you can take care of it these days, and when your body is better, I will often come to accompany you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Xin wiped the tears on her face, and her sister-in-law is the lack of the emperor's heart is also the crux of the problem. The most taboo thing for the emperor is his identity as a concubine, and because of this identity, he has never felt inferior in the past. Ke Lan Xin didn't understand when he was so calculating.

Even when he was alone with the emperor, he actually hollowed out his mind and said something for his own sake. Whether it was forced by the situation, or whether she saw through the relationship with the emperor, she didn't dare to think about it, let alone ask herself.

After crying, you have to smile and greet people. Lan Xin straightened his clothes, and when he lowered his eyebrows, he had a hint of tenderness: "The concubine has lost her manners, which has made the emperor uncomfortable, and if you want to come here, the ginseng soup has been boiled, so I will ask the emperor to drink an extra bowl to compensate." The weather is getting hotter, and it is inevitable to be impetuous. The concubines prepared moisturizing honey together, and also asked the emperor to appreciate his face, and it was good to use some together. “

"That's right." Hongli's sorrow decreased suddenly, and there was a gentle smile on his face: "Lan Xin is so intimate, I naturally have to drink a few more bowls to live up to it." What's more, the food in your palace has always been the most suitable for my spleen and stomach. ”

As he spoke, Hongli gently brushed away the teardrops that still existed on Lan Xin's face: "If it weren't for your hard work for me, it would be difficult for me to take care of all the things in the harem." Austerity and letting Concubine Hui raise Yongzhang are all excellent plans. Don't say anything cool anymore. ”
