Hongli found a place to sit down, his slightly tired expression making him look a little lazy, but more haggard. "The queen must have heard about it."

"This matter is in an uproar, even if the concubine doesn't want to know, it's impossible not to know." Lan Xin smiled calmly and said suddenly: "This is a matter of government affairs, and the concubines should not be asked." It's just that the concubine is still sick now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand too much blow. No matter how the emperor handles this matter, don't be angry with the concubine. The concubine should be relieved and hope that the concubine can recover soon. ”

"Lan Xin, you are always so proper." Hongli motioned for Lan Xin to sit down and taste the fresh lotus seeds with himself. "It's just, can you really not complain in your heart?" Whether this is for him or Lan Xin, Hongli can't say clearly. Maybe it's just out of curiosity that I casually asked.

"Although the concubine is a queen, she is also an ordinary person. Sometimes it is inevitable that you will be upset, and sometimes you will be as tired as the emperor at this time. But when there are more times, there is a bright light in the concubine's heart, which supports the concubine to go on with vigor and strength. This is Lan Xin's true words in the past, but not now.

On the inky blue Shu brocade, embroidered with two crested ibis, which are loyal birds. If you are widowed, you will only be lonely for this life, and you will never be close to others again. Although it is not as noble as the phoenix, it makes Lan Xin feel distressed. She would rather not have a phoenix robe, but also hope that her lover can join hands with her white head and die unswervingly.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the love is, it's just what she thinks after all. Just like lotus seeds, they look white and flawless, crystal clear, but in fact, whether they are green or bitter, only the person who swallows them knows it.

A round lotus seed was twisted between the white fingers, and Lan Xin gently rested it in the palm of Hongli's hand: "The concubine and the emperor have experienced life and death, and they are the people who have served the emperor for a long time. Although her mother's brother is not angry and angers the emperor, she is loyal to the emperor in the end. The concubine thought that she must be uncomfortable at this time. But no matter how uncomfortable it was, she didn't go to the emperor after all, did she?

The concubine didn't want to trouble the emperor, and the concubine took pity on her hard work, and let people send a lot of lotus seeds. ”

Hongli gently grabbed Lan Xin's wrist, slowly slid to her jade hand, and then grabbed it: "I know, you will definitely be considerate of the concubine." I don't want to be considerate of her, but it is precisely because she is my concubine that I treat her mother's family so politely. Who knew that Gao Heng would not make a face for the concubine like this, and did such an unforgivable capital crime in life.

If it weren't for the love between me and the concubine, I am afraid that at this time, I would have let people peel the skin and grass and hang it at the entrance of the vegetable market to set an example. ”

When he said that, Hongli knew that the resentment in his heart was so deep. Some couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts: "I carried the flag for the concubine, along with her people. Gao Bin, the father of the concubine, is also the minister of my favor. Isn't that enough? There is no glory, I give them glory, there is no status, I give them status. Now that I have glory and status, I have only the right to do it, and I have come to covet my silver again.

Is that the idle silver I used to eat, drink, and be merry, or the hedonistic silver that I used to rest the garden and renovate the harem? That's the money I gave to the people for disaster relief. Hongli slapped the table, and the lotus seeds on the plate jumped with it, and many flew out. The white lotus seeds rolled on the ground, and when they landed, they were covered with a layer of ash, and they lost their beautiful brilliance.

Lan Xin hurriedly got up, frowned and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, please calm your anger." ”

"If this had been left to others, I would not have been so angry. But Lan Xin, do you know? When I saw the impeachments, I almost broke my teeth with hatred. It's the courtier I value the most, but I don't make a face for me the most. How do I face the officials of the court, the concubine, and the harem? If it's me...... I am biased, and I don't know how much gossip I will incur. ”

Speaking of this, Hongli let out a long breath: "The concubine has suffered a lot, and her health is not good, how can I bear to make her uncomfortable." Today, if she had come to ask for my grace, I would have blamed her for not being reasonable. However, as you said, the concubine understands my mind too well, so I can only be ashamed of her. ”

Lan Xin suddenly felt that he had changed, and he became a little less like himself. In the past, if she saw the emperor so uncomfortable, she would definitely be heartbroken. even did not hesitate to take the risk of interfering in politics to think about these disorderly things that would affect his whole body. Now it's different. She was calm, calm, calm enough to put herself in the position of an outsider.

Although she said words of concern and comfort, in fact, how the emperor solved it had nothing to do with her. "The concubine has served by the emperor's side for many years, how can she not understand the emperor's heart for her. What's more, the last time Mulan Qiuqiu, she rolled down the hill regardless of her own safety, just to find the emperor. Since she can put her life and death aside, and the only thing she wants is for the emperor to return safely, then today, she will definitely understand the emperor's hardships.

What's more, if you enter the Forbidden City, you are a royal person. It is also reasonable to keep to your duty. The concubine will definitely comfort the concubine, so that she can recuperate in peace. Lan Xin heard Hongli say "I'm ashamed of her", and he was sure that he must have made a decision. In this way, just follow her words, there is nothing more to do.

Jinlan slowly walked in at this time.

Lan Xin noticed that she came in empty-handed and did not serve ginseng soup, and her heart couldn't help but move.

"Queen Mother, the ginseng soup is ready." Jinlan didn't dare to say much, just because the emperor's and queen's faces were not very good-looking.

Lan Xin bowed slightly, didn't look at Jinlan, and only said to Hongli: "Since the ginseng soup is boiled, the emperor will use some first." No matter how important the government is, it can't be the emperor's body. ”

Without making a sound, it was considered a tacit agreement, and Lan Xin immediately glanced at Jinlan. Jinlan retreated knowingly, and after a while, Wei Yating slowly walked in with two bowls of ginseng soup.

"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an." Wei Yating's voice was a little erratic, as if it was caused by a lack of confidence. In the end, she was afraid, the ginseng soup in her hand was almost unstable, but fortunately, Jinlan did not fill the soup, even if her hands trembled, it did not overflow.

"It's in the emperor's hand." Lan Xin saw that she didn't move for a long time, and ordered this softly.

It was this sentence that made Hongli a little strange, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the person serving the ginseng soup. It's a little strange, isn't this woman wearing the pink dance dress just now? "You are?"

Wei Yating put down the soup bowl, the tray was still in her hand, and when she heard the emperor ask, she took a step back in surprise. He said: "Concubine...... Concubine Wei. ”

Seeing that she was cramped, Lan Xin couldn't help but smile slightly: "Don't you remember the emperor?" She is often in Wei's family and has been living in Zhulinyuan for the first few years. ”

Hongli instantly understood, and said coldly: "Raise your head." ”

This voice can't be said to be disgusted or dissatisfied, in short, it makes people uncomfortable to listen to. Although Wei Yating was flustered, she was not a stupid person. I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, why did she look like Ying Gege in the past, so she had to please the emperor instead of her. That's it, I still have to bear the boredom she incurs.

Holding her breath and raising her face, Wei Yating lowered her eyelids and did not meet the emperor's cold eyes. It's just a look of being at the mercy, and the panic in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows gradually fades, but it is a little meaningless.

"It's you." Hongli snorted coldly: "So the person who danced in the courtyard is also you?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it is a concubine." Wei Yating answered crisply this time. seems to be afraid of being too strong, but instead gives birth to resentment. This new surge of anger made her feel a lot calmer. There are such numbers of lives on the left and right, and you can't hide from it, it's better to break the jar and break it, and be happy.

Hongli was displeased, glanced at the ginseng soup on the table, and said angrily: "I just called you, why didn't you ignore it, and hurried away." It's just that I went, why did I appear in front of me by sending ginseng soup. It's you who is hiding, and it's you who is coming, but I don't understand, what are your intentions? ”

Lan Xin turned a deaf ear and drank the tea slowly. She believed that Huai'an had not trained Wei in vain for the past few years, so that she had no worries at all. What's more, if this Wei family really only has a pair of skins, which the emperor hates, then the emperor can't be too much to deal with it. First of all, she lost her sacred heart, and she didn't know how to save herself, leaving her afraid that sooner or later she would just die.

It's better to have fun.

"The concubine knew that the emperor didn't want to see the concubine, so she didn't dare to show up." Wei Yating replied crisply: "I came to serve ginseng soup at this time, just because the ginseng soup was presented to the queen mother by the concubine, and the queen mother was unwell, and the ginseng soup continued to drink day after day without interruption." The concubines were afraid of missing the time when they practiced dancing, so they had no choice but to worship it. It is not a special trip to the emperor. I knew that the emperor was unwilling to see the concubines, and how could the concubines dare to annoy the emperor. If there is no other command, the concubine will retire. ”

was pushed back by Wei Yating, who was neither soft nor hard, and Hongli was obviously unhappy. On this day, he was already in mood swings and restless, and he didn't want to dare to be angry at him even if he was always there. "You're so daring."

Wei Yating turned slightly, stared at the Son of Heaven in front of her in amazement, frowned and said: "It's just two bowls of ginseng soup, and it is reasonable for the concubines to bring it in and present it to the emperor and queen, and it is the duty of the concubines." You really don't need guts. What's more, the concubines have always been timid, and they would rather live in a secluded place for a long time, and they haven't seen any scenes, so where did they get the courage. The emperor has a good reputation. ”

Silently taking a breath, Lan Xin smiled coldly, sure enough, she didn't misunderstand this Wei Yating. This woman seems to be weak, but her heart is hard, and it is best to deal with a person like the emperor. After this tea service, she will definitely be able to leave a deep impression on the emperor.

"If the emperor has no other orders, the concubine will retire."
