Chapter 440: The New Man Grows Old
Gao Lingxi was silent for a long time, thinking of the open and secret battles with Panyu over the years, and also recalled that day when Panyu knelt down, and was sure that this would definitely be like what Bi Lan said. "You are for my good, and I naturally know your thoughts. I blamed myself that day, and if I hadn't agreed to her, I wouldn't have been in danger. ”
Recalling the days when Mulan was in autumn, the smile on Gao Lingxi's face couldn't help but come alive. "You have always been by my side, so I naturally know that this period of time is the most comfortable and comfortable time since I entered the palace. It's not just that the emperor treats me more kindly, but also because I have no extravagant hopes and no greed in my heart, and I am just without desire. Somehow, when I saw Concubine Xian that day, my heart was not so calm. It seems that if you don't help her, it's a little unreasonable. ”
Lowering her head, Bi Lan sighed softly: "Niangniang is kind, in the end, it is easy to be soft-hearted." The slave is just afraid, and the kindness is not rewarded. Even if Concubine Xian really didn't mean to harm you, the Queen Mother was not easy to mess with. ”
"Yes." Gao Lingxi exhaled slowly, frowned and said, "I also know the Queen Mother's thoughts." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she can't tolerate the queen. But Bilan, if you think about it carefully, the Queen Mother has hands and eyes to the sky, and she is the most expensive woman in the Qing Dynasty, and she has gone through two dynasties, from the palace to the deep palace. Could it be that the queen can compete with the queen mother just because she has the protection of the family's gospel and is wise and far-sighted? Otherwise! ”
Moving her lips slightly, Bi Lan was a little unsure of the meaning of what she was thinking, and said tentatively: "Niangniang is saying that the emperor is the solid backing of the queen." And what the queen relies on is the emperor's protection. This ......"
"Yes." Gao Lingxi's words are really bright and sincere: "I originally thought that the emperor treated the queen with respect, because of the queen's background, the Fucha family's full help allowed the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly, and the rapid stabilization of the previous dynasty also had the credit of the Fucha family." Therefore, the emperor will inevitably be a little more affectionate to the queen.
But in fact, when I calmed down and looked carefully and thought about it carefully, I found that the emperor had a queen in his heart. That's a kind of ...... The warmth of each other is never something that I and Concubine Xian can replace. When Gao Lingxi said this, he always had a faint smile on his face, no jealousy, let alone jealousy, just very envious.
"Niangniang really doesn't have to be presumptuous, the old man is also the emperor's minister of the humerus, and the emperor also values the old man very much. and also carried the flag to Niangniang's clansmen, such a grace is also unmatched by others. Bi Lan didn't want to see the concubine sad, and the relief in her words was also heartfelt: "The emperor treats his mother very well, and he envy how many concubines and concubines in the palace." ”
Gao Lingxi gently stretched out his hand and held Bilan's hand. "I didn't care so much about what you said before, but now I feel that it is extremely important. The emperor treats me well. With this affection, I am already content. In the past, I saw that the queen was tolerant and benevolent, and she was kind to everyone in the house, but I didn't believe it in my heart. I don't believe that she is really so tolerant, I don't believe that she is really not jealous at all, and I don't believe that she can be willing to her husband and circulate among the fat and thin women all day long.
I really think that is just a trick by her to pretend to be lenient and to win the pleasure of her husband. In the end, my own mind is shallow, and I don't see the truth. Bilan, I can feel this feeling now, because the queen knows that her beloved husband has never been her alone. And it is precisely because I love him that I hope he is really happy and comfortable. ”
Bi Lan likes Xiao Feng and likes the pain of a person, and to this day, she has completely experienced it. So much so that when the concubine said this, the tears in her eyes easily rolled down her cheeks. This kind of pain, just like exhaling and inhaling, has already penetrated her bone marrow.
Because of this, she didn't want the concubine to be sad. It's just that after listening to the concubine's words, Bi Lan slowly smiled. The smile with teardrops on it looked crystal clear: "What Niang Niang said is that this feeling may be a slave maid who can't understand it for a while." But the slave maid thinks that if she really loves someone, she is probably willing to watch him feel comfortable and happy. ”
Gao Lingxi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Whether we send the letter to Prince He or not, we have to prepare another hand, and after dinner, I think Concubine Xian should also return to Chengqian Palace from Cining Palace." Bi Lan, you personally go and inform Concubine Xian, tell her the original words, and let her be on guard. The Queen Mother, we don't have to go, there is no head-to-head confrontation, and it is difficult to find out the true intentions of the Queen Mother.
The palace is just thinking, the queen mother's side is either the emperor's person or the queen's person, so how did she pass on the edict, and who will be the blood drop that contacted the queen mother? ”
"The slave knows, and the mother can rest assured." Seeing that the concubine's mind rushed elsewhere, Bi Lan smiled and slowly sank her face. She was still bitterly trapped in her thoughts of Xiao Feng. The emperor ordered him to go out of the palace and garrison the border pass, and he went for several years, I don't know if he is good there, and I don't know if he has a heart now.
The master and servant had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke again. Gao Lingxi leaned on the soft couch, looking at the gap in the window lattice calmly, looking at the bright spring sun that could not be stopped. And Bi Lan slowly strung beads on the side, one by one the round pearls, pinched by her tender fingertips, and threaded into the thread one by one.
In the past two days, the palace has been calm, and there is no right or wrong. But his character has not been able to calm down, and he always feels that the more at this time, the easier it is to give birth to chaos. Xu is anxious, she can't eat and sleep well these days, and her spirit is not good, and there is a bubble at the corner of her mouth, which hurts when she touches it, which makes her heart even more irritable.
Linglan didn't know what was wrong with her mother, she suddenly got sick, and she was sick, but she always looked preoccupied. "Niangniang, the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has been delivered, and the slave maid has been hot several times, so you should drink a little less, Niangniang. It was useless for lunch, so the small kitchen boiled some lily and barley porridge, and then used some porridge after drinking the medicine, so as to save the stomach. ”
"Do you hear what's going on in the harem?" He asked this sentence inexplicably.
Naturally Linglan didn't understand, and shook his head again and again: "There's no movement, it's not the same as usual." ”
Qiqige saw that she didn't understand, so he had to ask more carefully: "What have the emperor and queen been busy with in the past two days?" ”
"Hey." Linglan realized: "No wonder Niangniang is not stable in her illness, she must have heard about that matter." What do you want to ask? Blinking his eyes, Linglan smiled: "Don't think about it, the emperor treats the queen like this, and the slave guesses that it is also because it is around the second elder brother's death day." ”
Her confused speech made Qi Qige feel even more headache: "Don't cover it up in a few words, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly." ”
Seeing that Concubine Yu was a little anxious, Linglan didn't dare to smile at the hippie, and said seriously: "Yesterday, the emperor gave a peony screen to the queen. The slave maid listened to the people of Changchun Palace say that the peony is a silk in the style of a real flower, embroidered on the screen, moving in the wind, and exuding the graceful and luxurious fragrance of the peony, just like opening on the cloth.
The emperor said that in this way, the peony will not wither, and the queen likes it, so you can see it at any time. The slave maid also heard that this screen was drawn by the emperor himself, so that the show girls had been preparing for more than a month to complete. It's no wonder that the queen likes it, every stitch and thread, but it's all the emperor's thoughts. ”
Qi Qige's heart was a little more stable: "So, the emperor also went to Changchun Palace today?" ”
"Yes, the emperor is still accompanying the queen in Changchun Palace at this time." Linglan's mouth was fast, and he felt remorseful when he replied to this sentence, so he quickly stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice: "Don't take it to heart, the jealousy of the left and right Duanhui Crown Prince is at this time, no wonder the emperor pities the queen a little more." ”
"As it should be." Qiqige didn't mind this, she had long known that the emperor didn't like her. I have long known that it is impossible to become a favorite concubine. She coveted it, but she would not be as high as the pure concubine. Moreover, it's good to have Yongqi, she is already satisfied. "Crown Prince Duanhui passed away, and the emperor and queen are really sad. In this way, Ming'er Bengong went to Changchun Palace early to say goodbye, so as to comfort the queen a few words. You go and tell the kitchenette to prepare the ingredients, and the palace will make a few pastries for the queen to taste. ”
Linglan nodded, but said reluctantly: "The queen mother has the emperor's love, how can there be no pastries in Changchun Palace, I am afraid that the queen will be tired of eating it for a long time." Why bother to do it yourself, this toss, you must get up early. The mother's body is not good, how can she withstand such a toss......"
"What's wrong with you today? Where is all this nonsense? Qi Qige glanced at Linglan with displeasure: "Even if the queen mother has eaten all the pastries in the world, it is also the heart of the palace to do it." ”
"Yes, the slave doesn't dare to talk more." Linglan didn't know that Concubine Yu would be annoyed, and after admitting her mistake, she didn't dare to say more, and hung her head stupidly.
"That's it, you go down, let this palace be alone for a while." Qiqige was afraid that the queen mother's blood would come, so he wanted to support the people around him. I hope the Queen Mother can stop, in fact, according to the queen's temperament, she will not kill the Queen Mother. What's more, there is also the emperor's layer, the emperor always has to estimate that his emperor is not.
Qiqige didn't know the emperor's life experience, nor did she know the pain in the queen mother's heart, she really just wanted to stay out of the matter and raise Yongqi well. Slowly got up, slowly walked to the window lattice, and reached out to touch the brightness and warmth outside the window: "Is it really June?" Why is Bengu's heart still so cold? Will the spring of Yonghe Palace still come? ”
