84. Provocative

Because Mo Lan was still in confinement, the imperial doctor instructed him not to blow the wind, so the doors and windows in the warm pavilion were closed and the curtains hung low. Fortunately, the place is wide, the windows are clear, and the flowers are everywhere, but it is also comfortable and accessible.

Lang Yue looked at the kumquat piled up like a hill on the case, and said: "The kumquat in Jiangxi Mansion is produced very little every year, and only the emperor's harem has special tribute. ”

Mo Lan said: "If you like it, I'll ask the palace people to send you a basket." ”

Lang Yue listened harshly, but the smile on her face became more and more cheerful, and said, "You keep it for yourself, I don't want to take people's love." ”

Qingqiu lifted the curtain and entered the hall, and said happily: "Niangniang, the people from the Imperial Medicine Institute are here, ready to give the princess a umbilical moxibustion fontanelle." The slave maid asked someone to boil water with fragrant soup and onion and garlic, and Shen Shi waited for the princess to bathe, so as to clear the blood and avoid the wind and evil. Moreover, the official family newly rewarded walnuts, longan, chestnuts, dates, lotus root and mutton, and placed them under the corridor of the outer hall, and asked the mother to show them. ”

Mo Lan groaned slightly, and said, "Le'er hasn't woken up yet, ask the imperial doctor to go to the side hall and wait, and you will make someone serve a pot of tea." The food given by the emperor was brought to the people in the kitchen, and if there was any leftover, it was put in the storehouse first. ”

Seeing that Qingqiu agreed to go, Lang Yue said: "I see that this girl is a little neat, and she is the most loyal, I heard that when you were in labor, Concubine De didn't help her, but it was all up to Qingqiu to control the overall situation." After another pause, he said in a low voice: "Such loyalty and bravery, even the officials look at it differently." ”

Although Lang Yue's words were vague, how could that little bit of caution be hidden from Mo Lan.

Mo Lan's heart was like a mirror, and he said more and more lightly: "I'm also worried about how to reward her, that girl is not uncommon, and she always refuses." Seeing that she didn't talk, as if someone had seen through something, Lang Yue was extremely annoyed, and didn't want to speak anymore, so she picked up the hibiscus white tea cup and drank the fragrant tea lightly.

There was a cry from far to near, the nurse hugged the princess to the warm pavilion, and the palace people lifted the curtain and let her in. Mo Lan's heart was still tied, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, coaxing Le'er to stop crying, and said: "Go to the imperial doctor Xuan to come and serve the princess to fall off the umbilical cord and moxibustion fontanelle." ”

Lang Yue looked at the princess's red little face, thinking that she had been favored for many years, but she had never been pregnant, and suddenly felt disheartened and lost. Seeing the people coming and going around him, Moran was too busy to take care of it, and he didn't dare to disturb it anymore, so he got up and said goodbye.

Only then did he turn into Gong Street, and happened to meet Li Jieyu and Yu Cairen walking from the end with the palace maid Yaoyao, knowing that they were here to see Mo Lan, so he greeted him and said: "It's unfortunate that you guys came, Lan Zhaoyi was busy giving the little princess a moxibustion fontanelle, and she was so busy that she couldn't open her hands and feet, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you." ”

When Li Jieyu heard this, her mind turned around and said, "Anyway, it's all out, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

The three of them then went to the Imperial Garden together, because it was a sunny day after the rain, and the sun was as thin as smoke, and it was sprinkled on people like a light veil. The ground is not dried, and the rain is still dripping under the eaves pavilion, passing under the trees, and the cold water splashes on the neck, and flows down to the clothes, which are cool and cold, and the bones are cold.

Yu Caidao: "Obviously, it was very hot a few days ago, but in the blink of an eye, there was autumn, which is really weird." ”

Lang Yue smiled lightly, helped the plum blossom glazed hairpin on the bun, and said: "The palace is not as good as the outside, everything changes rapidly, Yu Cai has not been in the palace for a long time, so naturally he can't get used to it." ”

Although Yu Cairen was young, he could also hear the meaning of some words, but he couldn't figure out what he was saying.

Li Jieyu saw that the pink and white roses on the branches were knocked down by the rain, and only a few petals were left on the stem, so she reached out and tore off a petal, and said with flying eyebrows: "Concubine De failed to serve Lan Zhaoyi that night, which is understandable, although the official family was distressed, but in the end they failed to punish anything, but they just said a few words." He sighed again and said to Lang Yue: "You have been promoted for a long time, and you still don't understand the temper of the official family?" If it is not a last resort, he will never punish his concubines at will. ”

Yu Cairen had already heard about Mo Lan's labor, and when he heard Li Meiren say this, he suddenly realized that he didn't dare to say much, but only listened quietly.

Lang Yue deliberately wanted to get close to Yu Cairen, but she didn't shy away from it, and said: "You are wrong, according to my careful observation, if the official family does not move, it must be a big crime." The queen cut the throne, Shang Lindong was expelled from the palace, and Yang Meiren and Dong Jieyu that day, who among them has not been favored? Before the accident, they were held high in the sky, but when they were punished, they didn't say anything about pity, and they said that they would be blown away. ”

The hills in the distance are undulating, the clouds and mist linger, like a fairyland on earth, she looked at the sky from afar, and said quietly: "Sometimes I think about it, it is really sad that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and it is chilling." ”

Yu Cairen was the highest among the new concubines, and he was the first to serve in bed, so he couldn't help but be a little more arrogant, and said: "Everyone has their own lives, and the official family drove them out, naturally they did something wrong and didn't please the official family." ”

Lang Yue glanced at Yu Cairen, and saw that her eyes were full of longing and unsuspecting appearance, which was exactly the same as her previous self, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but swell up a few smiles, and said: "You are smart and beautiful, so you can naturally please the official family." ”

The corners of Yu Cairen's mouth twitched, but he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said, "I have to ask the two sisters to mention more." ”

In the distance, a column of honor guards came around the shoulders, and Li Meiren glanced at Langyue and asked, "It seems to be from the Funing Palace." ”

Lang Yue said: "Let's go to the palace street to greet us." ”

The three of them then walked to the palace street, stood under the palace wall, Concubine De passed, and sure enough, she stopped, and said with a smile: "It's only rained, carefully slide your feet." ”

Lang Yue raised her eyes to look at Concubine De, only to see her leaning on the stool, although she was dressed up, she could not hide her haggard look, so she said: "There are many affairs in the palace, so you should hand them over to others to share more, and if you make a mistake or omission, you will be punished less." It's not worth it for your mother to work hard alone, tired of your own body. The concubine also saw that your face was not very good, so she couldn't help but comfort her, don't be too careful. ”

Concubine De smiled: "I am very happy that you care about me." After a pause, he sighed again: "The official family asked me to assist in the harem, and they also value me, not to seek merit, but to ask for no fault, where do you dare to let others do it......" was saying, only to listen to Xi Qian: "The imperial doctors told me thousands of times, saying that Niang Niang can't stay in the tuyere for a long time, and there is still a decoction in the palace, if you miss the time, the effect of the medicine is not good." ”

Concubine De said angrily: "I don't say a few more words, you dare to chew the root of your tongue." ”

Lang Yue hurriedly said: "Xi Qian is a dedicated girl, don't annoy her." If you want to go back to the palace to take medicine, we don't dare to delay, please get up. He watched him walk to the end of the palace street, turned a corner, and dispersed.

When she returned to Linhua Palace, Xi Qian brought warm water and waited for Concubine De to freshen up, Concubine De sneered and said, "You are clever, otherwise I will have to deal with them for a long time." ”

Xi Qian said: "Zhang Rongyue is really bold, little Jieyu, dare to be disrespectful to her mother!" ”

Concubine De took off a four-butterfly Linlang Jin Bu from her bun and said: "Who doesn't know that behind her Zhang Jieyu is Zhang Molan, but unfortunately although Zhang Moran has been favored, after all, it is the family background that is there, and it is not easy to sit in the position of Zhaoyi as a concubine." That Zhang Langyue can't judge the situation yet, the fox is fake and mighty, it's really ridiculous. ”

After a moment's gaze, he said: "The new concubine who was with Zhang Rongyue just now seems to be Yu Cairen from Huifuyuan, and if you send her a few pieces of jewelry from the box, you will say that I rewarded her." After a pause, he instructed: "Do things in a hidden way, don't alarm others." ”

Xi Qian agreed, and everything was fine.

After January, the palace held a grand canonization ceremony for Princess Fukang, and Mo Lan also moved from the Ruyi Courtyard to the more majestic and spacious Luanming Palace. Concubine De was bitter in her heart, and she didn't dare to show her displeasure, but she had to go to Luanming Hall to say goodbye against her will.

The official family has two new favorites, Yu Cai of Huifu Yuan and Zhou Yunu of Lianlian Pavilion, but after half a month, they were promoted to Yu Meiren and Zhou Baolin.

When the ministers saw that the officials intended to establish Lan Zhaoyi, they all went to the court to oppose it, and they sat quietly outside the Donghua Gate to protest, which made Zhao Zhen one head and two big, and he was extremely annoyed.

It can only be dragged day by day, and it cannot be decided.

Yu Meiren is just like the winter of the day, with a slender waist, like a celestial person, and her temperament is innocent and introverted, which is very pleasing to the officials. Zhao Zhen stayed in Huifu Garden for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, Yu Meiren said: "The official family likes concubines, and it is a blessing for concubines." But the official family is Mingjun, the rain and dew are evenly wet, and the Fuze harem is. ”

Zhao Zhen was even more relieved when he heard it.

In November, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it snowed for the first time this winter, and the snow particles fell with the rain and smashed on the roof, making a noise, and it was only half an hour, and the roof tiles were already a layer of white.

The warm pavilion of Luanming Hall was burning with a fiery earth dragon, Zhao Zhen came in from outside, and the warm breath was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and it was so warm that his heart was numb.

Mo Lan only wore a homely plain white lotus-patterned satin robe, covered with a thin quilt of blue and dark flower bamboo leaf brocade, and sat on the kang with crooked legs to do embroidery work. He sat down lightly to the side, and said for a long time: "It's snowing outside, do you know?" ”

Mo Lan didn't raise his head, his eyes only looked at the work in his hands, and said, "Is it big?" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "It's not big, it's just snow particles." Although the place in the palace is small, it is extremely warm, and you can soak in the warm soup, in a few days, I will take you there, how many days can we stay there? ”

Mo Lan put down the needle and thread in his hand and said, "I can't rest assured without Le'er." ”

Zhao Zhen saw that she was worried and very pitiful, so he held her hand and pouted: "Since you have Le'er, you have left me out in the cold." In this harem, you are the most courageous. If you don't go to the palace, I'll be angry. ”

Mo Lan squinted at him and said, "It's better to be cold and cold, I don't want to restrain you, just go to Yu Meiren and Zhou Baolin." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't get angry, leaned his head on her shoulder, half-squinted, and said in a deep voice: "I hope only the two of us are the best." ”
