Under the emperor's deep and slightly angry gaze, Wei Yating retreated calmly. No one else could see her heart, and it was filled with deep fear. When she first entered the palace, she didn't dare to talk to the emperor like this no matter what. But now she has nothing to be afraid of, her father has passed away, and those people in the Wei family's courtyard have never regarded her as a relative at all, let alone remember or help.

Zhulinyuan has lived for many years, except for Concubine En, Wei Yating did not expect anyone's care. It was not for them to bring in gold or silver to give themselves a place to themselves. It's not that they want to dredge up and down and find a way to live for themselves. What they want is just their thoughts, even if it is just a few words, it is enough to warm people's hearts......

Thinking of those old events, Wei Yating felt for a while, and couldn't help but redden. No one in his own family can count on it, let alone the people in this palace. is good to her, except for Concubine En, there is only the queen.

The former is a sisterhood that she has made, and although the latter has intentions, she has also effectively saved her life. In this way, what else can Wei Yating say? She is willing to step by step, into the arrangement between her father and the queen. No matter how she lives, it's just her life.

"The queen does this, ......" Hongli was held in one breath, suffocating and uncomfortable, and called Lan Xin to be the queen, which was intended to show that he didn't like this arrangement very much.

Lan Xin gently flicked the flag and put on the pair of birds that symbolized loyalty, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't blame the concubines for being troublesome, in fact, the concubines have always been obsessed with the things in the palace back then." I always feel that I have failed the emperor's trust. Moreover, many things are predestined, and it is difficult to find two identical flowers, let alone such a person in the vast sea of people.

But Wei can enter the palace and come to the emperor by himself, isn't it really providence? ”

Hongli didn't make a sound, and only saw the beautiful thoughts in Lan Xin's eyes. His brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"The concubine knows that resemblance is not necessarily the same. For example, jasmine and gardenia are both white double petals, but the floral fragrance is different, the shape is different, and it is not the same flower after all. It's just as refreshing, and it looks so good. The lost eastern corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, even if it can compensate for some of the loss. ”

Lan Xin glanced at the ginseng soup that Wei put down, stretched out his hands with a smile, and slowly served the soup to the emperor. "Whether you drink or not, it all depends on the emperor's liking. There is a limit to what the concubines can do, although they have served the emperor for more than ten years, they are not proper after all. There are always omissions, which annoys the emperor and makes him unhappy.

If this matter is not done well, please don't sulk at the emperor. It is small to punish and resentful the concubine, but it is the fault of the concubine to hurt the dragon body. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Hongli glanced at the soup bowl in Lan Xin's hand, and finally took a sip of it. It rested on the table. "I don't want to talk about it again. Besides, I know that it was not the queen's idea. Concubine Xian is really meticulous in her work, but she can't help but like to assert herself, and she is resolute and tough-hearted, and she is relaxed in many things, and she only knows how to be strong, which is also caused by her stubbornness.

In the past, I thought she was spontaneous, straightforward and cute. But after encountering her 'uprightness' one after another, I felt that this was not good. ”

The cold light at the end of Lan Xin's eyes froze, and he felt strange in his heart. How could the emperor suddenly mention Concubine Xian, when the emperor asked her to dispose of Luo Ying, she was ruthless, made a heavy hand, and asked Concubine Xian to get people out and end it. It was precisely because Luo Ying could not escape death that the emperor was in a bad mood. And the maid Gao Lingxi, it was this kung fu that won the emperor's favor and attached to the emperor's grace in one fell swoop.

But how can you listen to the emperor's words, this matter seems to be done by Concubine Xian herself? From beginning to end, Lan Xin never said such a thing to the emperor. Could it be that there is any misunderstanding in this? "Concubine Xian, she also cares about the emperor, although her temperament is a little harder, but her heart is good."

"I know." Hongli rubbed his eyebrows, and then turned the mutton fat white jade wrench on his thumb: "After entering the palace, my favor to her has become more and more indifferent, one is that she is annoyed that she is too decisive, and there is no trace of temperature in the cold. If I allow her to be too gracious when I was in the house, I am afraid that many palace concubines in the harem will suffer because of her iron fist.

Second, it is only because I still care about the relationship with her that I hope she can hone her heart well. Speaking of this, Hongli's profound eyes seemed to add a smile: "Isn't it good now?" Concubine Xian is much softer and more understanding of my thoughts. ”

I don't know if it's my own illusion, Lan Xin vaguely felt that Hongli's tone was mixed with a little pride. It is also these proud ingredients that make Lan Xin feel a little angry, no matter how decisive Concubine Xian is, even if she is not familiar with human feelings, but she is sincere to the emperor after all.

"What the emperor said is very true." Lan Xin said against her heart: "Gentle and obedient is the beauty of women's virtues." Concubine Xian is already very good now. ”

As long as he is gentle and obedient, listens to the emperor's words, does not annoy her, and does not go against her will, she is the most cherished woman in his eyes. It turns out that it has always been like this. Lan Xin finally understood why "virtuous queen" was his expectation of himself.

It's ridiculous to say that whether you are virtuous or not depends only on whether you disobey his will. At this time, Lan Xin finally understood why the dragon fetus of the Nian family was gone, and the Queen Mother instigated it a little, and Hongli would be angry with himself like this. It had nothing to do with the poor woman and the poor child.

It's that I didn't do what he asked him to do, and I didn't satisfy him. "Your Majesty, I also drank the ginseng soup, and it was inconvenient for the concubines to stay with the emperor to rest. It's better to ......" She endured it without having a seizure, not because she still wanted to pretend to be what he liked. But what does she no longer want to fight for?

Jingwei reclamation, how much effort does it take, how firm perseverance does it take, but what can it be? It is impossible to do it in his lifetime. Lan Xin felt that she was like this, even if she took out all her perseverance, courage and determination, even if she kept working hard, she couldn't fill the emperor's heart after all.

She's not a spiritual bird like Jingwei, she's just an ordinary person. "It's better to take a look at Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, I think the emperor hasn't seen Yongqi Yongcheng for a long time. The concubines were afraid that they would not be suitable when they first came to the Old Summer Palace, so they were sent to the two sisters' rooms to take care of them. ”

Hongli thought that Lan Xin was just kind and wanted to let himself accompany his brothers more, so he could be quiet. Then he promised: "It's okay, Yongqi is smart and cute, Yongqi is smart and clever, I should accompany me more." Fang Cai Wei mentioned it, saying Lan Xin, you are not in good health, and you can't break the ginseng soup all day long. I'll see you use it before you go. ”

While speaking, Hongli diligently picked up another bowl of ginseng soup and thoughtfully handed it to Lan Xin's lips. "It's just the right fit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Xin was not moved, and he didn't dare to be moved anymore. Such a small favor, is it his thoughtfulness? Or is it that he doesn't want to go in his heart that he will give favors. Is there an ingredient that comes from love?

After sending Hongli away, Lan Xin glanced at the soup bowl resting on the table, and said to Suo Lan: "Take it down." ”

Suo Lan always felt that the queen had been preoccupied recently, but she didn't know what it was for. After summoning the little palace maid to do it, he walked lightly behind the queen: "Do you feel uncomfortable, let the slave maid beat your back, loose and loose bones, right?" ”

"The emperor has already seen the Wei family, although he is angry, but after all, she will go down. You ask Xue Guining to pack up a comfortable wing room as soon as possible and come out for the Wei family to live in. You don't have to be too close to the main shrine, and you don't have to be too close to others. What the palace can do is to pave this road, whether to go or not depends on the emperor's holy will. ”

"The slave knows what to do." Suo Lan said softly. Seeing that the queen was still sad, her movements slowed down more and more: "The queen's mother, please forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, since Wei Changzai doesn't like to serve the emperor, it seems that there is nothing wrong with living in Zhulin Yuan for a long time." Since you don't want her to accept her favor, why do you have to push her to the emperor? ”

Lan Xin stroked his face and said in surprise: "The appearance of this palace looks like it doesn't like Wei Chang is favoring?" ”

Suo Lan didn't dare to make a sound, but she couldn't understand why the good queen was so uncomfortable.

"Wei Changzai is smart and well-behaved, with Luo Ying's appearance, he has already taken advantage of the opportunity, and he has a tranquil temperament like Concubine Jia, and he has no quarrel with the world. The most important thing is...... Although the emperor has not seen her over the years, he has never forgotten her. Why didn't the palace push the boat down the river, let the emperor get his wish, and also give her a good opportunity to shine on the lintel and fulfill his father's last wish. ”

There is another layer of meaning, Lan Xin is reluctant to say it explicitly. That is, she really doesn't want to be the same as before, painstakingly winning the emperor's attention, enduring it, and working hard to fight for those so-called feelings that are a little more than others. Or carefully maintain the extraordinary affection that they do. She doesn't like to waste her energy on these things anymore.

If the Wei family can win the favor of the emperor, then for her, the people she supports will finally have grace, a lot less trouble, or be able to save a moment of distress. Even if Lan Xin is very disappointed in Hongli, she can't forget the aura of the Fucha clan, let alone her identity as a queen.

Yu Qing, she has never owed the emperor, and Yu Li, she can't owe the family. As long as you keep your noble status as a queen, maybe it doesn't matter if you have love or not. These were the last things Lan Xin could think of. Grief is greater than heart death, she doesn't want to pay too much for this man. Because from beginning to end, it's not worth it at all, it's never worth it. "Early tomorrow morning, let Cao Xuyan come over to say goodbye. The palace always feels tired and overwhelmed, so it is better to take advantage of the Summer Palace to escape the heat and recuperate. ”

Suo Lan responded cautiously, but he still felt aggrieved for the queen in his heart. How would she understand what it was like to be heartbroken, she just thought that the queen was tired. "Niangniang rest assured, Imperial Doctor Cao's medical skills are exquisite, and he will soon be able to regulate his body for Niangniang." When the queen's body is better, maybe she will take care of the harem as energetically as before.
