Chapter 49: Contradictions

When he arrived at Weiyang Palace, Lan Ruozheng was sitting upright, and Lan Zhili bowed and said: "The minister sees the queen's mother, and the mother is Jin'an." ”

Lan Ruo glanced at her father lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were almost like Lan Zhili, Lan Ruo retracted her gaze and said coldly: "Father doesn't need to be polite." ”

Seeing Lan Ruo speak, Lan Zhili breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his voice was not as indifferent as before, but faintly carried the majesty of his father. Lan Ruo still looked worried, and seemed to be a little impatient and said, "I heard that my father recommended Shen Mingfu to be the household servant?" ”

Lan Zhili was stunned, he didn't expect Lan Ruo to ask about the affairs of the court, but now that Lan Ruo is in the East Palace, he will inevitably care about the situation of the court.

He nodded slowly and said, "I have already won the approval of Xu Shangshu, and Your Majesty has also made a will, and I will be able to take office in a few days." Fu came back to his senses and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

Lan Ruo's smile became colder and colder, and she said coldly: "If this palace is not mistaken, this Shen Mingfu is my father's person." Lan Zhili laughed loudly: "Yes, this Shen Mingfu is my person." ”

Seeing that Lan Zhili did not have the slightest hint of introspection, Lan Ruo became even more annoyed, and his tone became unceremonious: "Father does this, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be jealous of your father?" ”

Lan Zhili didn't think about it and said: "My father's power in the court is intertwined, as long as the power is in his hands, His Majesty doesn't dare to have any thoughts about his father!" Seeing the tension between the two, Qiao'er stood aside and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the prime minister would know that he had said this in front of the queen.

However, neither of the father and daughter cared about Qiao'er, and Lan Ruo's momentum faintly revealed the anger of the person who was born in a high position: "The father should understand that now, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites are all father's people, and the father of the household department also wants to get a piece of the pie, so he is not afraid that the building will overturn in one day?" ”

Lan Zhili's face was pale, thinking that when she was in the mansion, Lan Ruo was just a cowardly concubine, living with her aunt's mother, but she didn't want to cling to the former four princes.

Thinking of this, it was inevitable that some unbalanced resentment would arise in his heart, and he said coldly: "Forgive the minister, this harem is not allowed to interfere in politics but it is the ancestral training, the queen mother openly called the ministers to ask about these things, I am afraid that it is not against the ancestral teachings, and I am not afraid that Your Majesty will blame?" ”

After speaking, he raised his face, and there was no trace of fear on his face. Lan Ruo's face was pale, he slammed the table and stood up, and pointed at Lan Zhili with his fingers wrapped in gold armor tremblingly: "You ......"

Lan Zhili's face remained unchanged, but he snorted coldly: "The queen mother is inevitably too cautious, I know that the queen mother will inevitably preach with the Mu family, but the Mu family's century-old foundation, it is normal to recruit people to be jealous, but my Lan Mansion supports the new emperor to ascend the throne, and I work hard, if I don't do something in the court, it is a man-made sword, and I am a fish and meat!" ”

Lan Zhili said that he was excited, suddenly got up and got up from the chair, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had already been sent out, and Lan Zhili no longer gave Lan Ruo face, but it was very similar to when he was in the mansion before, he reprimanded: "If Niangniang has such time, it is better to think about how she can give birth to a dragon heir for Your Majesty, so that with the prince by her side, you don't have to worry about following in the footsteps of the Mu family all day long!" ”

With a snap, the tea cup with the exquisite green plum gold bottom had been shattered into a mess on the ground, and the corner of Qiao'er's skirt was soaked with a water stain, she was so frightened that she knelt down in a hurry, and said repeatedly: "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry!" ”

With a sneer, Lan Zhili added: "By the way, I discussed with your mother, since you have not been pregnant for a long time, now that the show girl has entered the palace, I heard that Your Majesty has also pampered a few concubines, it is inevitable that someone will give birth to the prince first, so it is better to send your sister into the palace." Xin'er has also reached marriageable age. ”

After speaking, he looked straight at Lan Ruo, as if waiting for her consent. Lan Ruo's eyes burst out with strong hatred, at this time her body trembled slightly, her eyes were red, like an angry little beast, and she laughed hatefully: "Help this palace? I'm afraid it's not coveting the back position of the main palace! ”

"Queen Mother! You can have your current status, not with the help of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how is it now? Could it be that the queen has forgotten her background? ”

"Hahaha...... The origin of Hongu? Why does the prime minister want to remind the palace that she is not a concubine of the prime minister's house, but a concubine, so you can't send a concubine in? Lan Ruo almost cried blood, her background was the last thing she wanted to be mentioned in her life was her own life experience.

Orchid? Isn't it the eldest lady who was born, and now they have hit the abacus on their heads, how can they swallow this breath, but Lan Zhili didn't care about Lan Ruo's words at all, just said lightly: "In a few days, your mother will take Xin'er into the palace, you think about it, Xin'er is your own sister, if he can give birth to an heir in the future, I will let this child be raised under your knees, and you don't have to be suspicious about the rest." ”

Xu knew that his bad tone had angered Lan Ruo, Lan Zhili slowed his voice and said: "Father knows that it is not easy for you to be in the harem, so you don't care about the affairs of the previous dynasty, just take care of your harem." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand and said goodbye, Lan Ruo waved his hand tiredly, signaling him to retreat, after Lan Zhili left, Lan Ruo sat on the bright gold spacious phoenix chair, the armrest of the chair was a red gold carving of a phoenix spreading its wings, the sharp edges and corners did not know when it was already stained with blood, Lan Ruo's palm came with a burst of pain, and she realized that she didn't know when her palm had been punctured.

Qiao'er got up quietly, saw Lan Ruo staring at her palm in a daze, lowered her eyes, and saw the shocking blood stains, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and pressed Lan Ruo's wound, and said distressedly: "Niangniang, why bother yourself like this?" ”

Lan Ruo only shook her head and smiled bitterly, she muttered in a low voice: "Once, I hated her, I hated her noble birth, and the favor of my father, mother, and brother, but I, my mother was originally just a girl, and she climbed into her father's bed to have me, why did she have to work hard to get things easily." ”

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her expression was a little crazy, Qiao'er had served Lan Ruo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she naturally knew who Lan Ruo was talking about, she gently helped Lan Ruo wipe the blood stains on her hands, and said softly: "Niangniang, that person has already gone, Niangniang should not indulge in the past, according to the slave maid, the top priority now is how to prevent the adults from sending the third lady into the palace." ”

Lan Ruo smiled coldly and said, "Does he really think that this palace is still the obedient concubine back then?" Lan Xin wanted to enter the palace, but the palace didn't follow their wishes! ”

Stretched out his hand and was supported by Qiao'er back to the apse, without saying anything all the way.

When He Xi received the news from Tuoba Yue, he was leisurely half lying on the beauty couch, eating Lingnan lychees sent by Fu Xinxin, the flesh of the fruits, crystal full, making people feel relished, He Xi squinted his eyes and looked at the sunny sky outside, but he couldn't move around much at this time, and he missed this scenery in vain.

Ruyi came back from outside, whispered something in He Xi's ear, He Xi heard it, and the smile slowly climbed up to the two, it was the most sincere time to laugh in so long, it was delicate and moving, Ruyi was a little surprised, she said in a low voice: "This matter has settled, I heard that thanks to His Royal Highness King Xian speaking for Lord Shen in the court, it was decided." ”

The cool juice of the lychee came out along He Xi's round nails, Ruyi was careful, took the handkerchief on the side to help He Xi wipe his hands, He Xi smiled and said: "Lan Zhili has always been proud of his achievements, the household is such a big fat meat, it is impossible not to do it, this time His Royal Highness the Xian Wang also helped to speak, presumably Your Majesty will be a little jealous." ”

"But our prince doesn't have any power in Beijing, why don't you take the opportunity to ...... the household" Ruyi was a little puzzled, and He Xi handed the peeled lychee to Ruyi.

Ruyi was stunned, but he also took it, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Thank you for the reward of the little master, the slave has no heart, it's not ......"

Before he finished explaining, He Xi waved his hand and said: "At first, we were the ones who wanted to use the prince, but Tuoba Chen was still quite jealous of the prince, and only if someone made him more jealous and attracted attention, we would have a chance to succeed." ”

It can be seen that He Xi is in a very good mood now, and Ruyi gradually relaxed, and whispered: "There is one more thing, that is, the queen mother invited Prime Minister Lan Cheng to Weiyang Palace, and I don't know what she said, but I heard that the queen mother lost her temper and broke a tea cup with a green plum gold bottom." Later, he quietly called the imperial doctor. ”

This was out of He Xi's expectations, Lan Ruo was not favored in the mansion before, she knew this, but now that she is the queen, does Lan Zhili have any other plans to provoke Lan Ruocheng?

But He Xi was not in a hurry, she helped the bead flower on the sideburns, and smiled very brightly and comfortably, as long as the more chaotic, the sooner the day of her own enemy came, she had to wait carefully. Waiting for the catastrophe to be gone, waiting to go to hell with them.

In the evening, Tuoba Chen actually came to the Hehuan Hall again, but this time he didn't ask He Xi about it, and directly asked Fuqing to pass the dinner to the Hehuan Palace.

He Xi was a little surprised, but when he saw the look on Tuoba Chen's face, he didn't say anything more, just followed Tuoba Chen's temper.

Tuoba Chen looked at He Xi's already somewhat improved appearance and asked, "The imperial doctor said that he might be drinking?" ”

"Your Majesty, what troubles have you encountered?" He Xi did not answer, but poured a glass of wine for him and himself.

It is a good pear blossom brew, clear and delicious, and not intoxicating, and is deeply loved by the concubines of the harem.

Tuoba Chen didn't answer He Xi's words, just sighed lightly, He Xi was very interested, she knew in her heart that it was because of today's court affairs, but she didn't point it out, but just persuaded softly: "Your Majesty shoulders the heavy responsibility of the world, but you also have to take care of your dragon body, the concubines can't share your worries for Your Majesty, but you can accompany Your Majesty to get drunk and rest." ”
