In the past few months when Chang'an fell out of favor, the biggest news in the palace was that the queen was happy.

The Empress was diagnosed as pregnant by the Imperial Doctor on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, after she had been feeling unwell and had been pregnant for a month when she was found out.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the noble son was happy, which can be described as double happiness.

This joy must be not trivial, before the emperor only had one emperor of Zhao Meiren under his knees, and he had not come out for many years. Now that the queen is pregnant, whether it is the prince or the emperor, it is the emperor's descendant. And the harem knows that the emperor and queen have been together for many years without an heir, and this time the queen is suddenly pregnant, and the emperor and the queen mother are naturally overjoyed. The palace sang and danced for several days, the princes and nobles all entered the palace to celebrate, the queen was always with each other, and everyone praised the emperor's deep affection. The emperor also hereby rewarded the six palaces, and at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the imperial daughter Han was named Shuyi Emperor Ji, and his mother Zhao Nanyan was named Zhengsi Pin Ronghua, and Zhong Jieyu moved to Yilan Hall, and Jin made the two princes of Xiangyang and Jiangling as princes.

Except for Shen Changan, everyone was happy.

As a result, the queen was pregnant and couldn't sleep, the virtuous concubine fell out of favor, and Zhong Yuxiu favored the harem without giving up, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.

When the emperor's reward arrived in Chonghua Palace, it was just a batch of silk brocade.

When Cheng Dehai sent the congratulatory gift with a smile on his face, Chang'an was pruning the peach blossoms in the house, and there was a moment of trance, the tip of the knife poked straight into her fingers, and the red blood beads diffused.

Hanyan looked at a few satin cloths, and said with a gloomy face, "That's all?" ”

Cheng Dehai smiled respectfully, "That's all the emperor asked the servants to send." ”

Hearing this, Han Yan was extremely angry, stuffed all the several Ayaluo back into Cheng Dehai's hands, and said hatefully, "Go and tell the emperor, we don't want these broken things in Chonghua Palace!" ”

"Cold Smoke!" When Chang'an heard this, he immediately drank her, and raised his voice, "Didn't this palace teach you well?" How did you talk to Grandpa Hai? ”

Han Yan felt very aggrieved, and lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

At that time, Jiang Wanran was sitting in the Chonghua Palace, and when she saw this scene, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and gave Cheng Dehai a silver ingot, and said gently, "The cold smoke is a joke, and I hope my father-in-law will not be surprised." This bit of silver should be regarded as a hard father-in-law. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Dehai hurriedly put the silver into his arms, and said with a smile, "The little master is really polite, this is what a slave should do." When he turned around, the servant sent the emperor's reward to the little master to the palace. ”

Wanran smiled and nodded, and watched Cheng Dehai and the little eunuchs leave.

After Cheng Dehai left, the cold smoke was still uneven, and he said angrily, "Why did the emperor reward Zhong Jieyu with a palace, and he rewarded us with so many rags in our palace...... It's so unfair...... It must be Zhong Jieyu, the foxy demon who is talking bad about our master by the emperor's side again, the emperor was not like this before......" As she spoke, she couldn't help crying, crying silently.

Wanran stepped forward, quietly handed her a handkerchief, and comforted her gently, "Don't cry here, your master doesn't feel good watching it, go down quickly......"

Hanyan bowed his head slightly, glanced at Wanran with tears in his eyes, took the handkerchief, and said softly, "Thank you, little master......"

Wanran smiled suddenly, "Thank you for what I did?" Let's get busy. ”

Hanyan wiped away his tears and hurriedly turned to go down.

Wanran looked at Chang'an, who was standing with his back to her in the hall, and sighed silently.

"Sister." After a long time, Wan Ran called softly and stepped forward, but suddenly caught a glimpse of her fingers dripping blood, Wan Ran was startled, and hurriedly pulled out her handkerchief and wrapped it in Chang'an, and said angrily, "Why are you so careless?" The injury on my hand last time was good, why did I hurt it again this time? ”

Chang An lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Wanran carefully bandaging her fingers, and smiled gently, "It's not tight." ”

She looked at Wanran for a long time, and a bitterness welled up in her heart.

Ever since Chu Luo didn't come to her Chonghua Palace, there were suddenly a lot fewer people in her palace. In this harem, everyone is the master of the wind and the rudder. Originally, everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Xian Niangniang had always been difficult to get along with, and this time she fell out of favor, and she would definitely not go to her Chonghua Hall again. In contrast, Zhong Yuxiu's Yilan Hall is a foyer, with endless laughter and laughter all day long. Chu Luo mostly went to the Yilan Palace at night, and those unfavored concubines all leaned until the evening, waiting to see the emperor.

These things were all told to Shen Changan by Jiang Wanran later. She burst out laughing when she talked about the looks of the concubines. And Chang'an listened, but his heart was not a taste. Wanran noticed this, so she stopped talking about the things in Zhong Yuxiu's palace.

In these days when Chang'an lived in Chonghua Palace, she always came to be her companion often. Jiang Wanran's temperament is extremely quiet, and her age is similar to that of Chang'an, plus she is an old man from Lin'an, so the two are very compatible. Jiang Wanran's mother's family is in Lin'an, and her father is the history of Lin'an's assassination, so she still has some friendship with Shen Changan's father, Shen Tunan.

Chang'an also goes to Xingyun Pavilion every day. Wanran's craftsmanship is excellent, pearl jade rice balls, lotus leaf soup, jade celery shrimp dumplings, Sixi dried fruit and other pastries are in short supply in her palace, she also often likes to make Wushan butter cake, osmanthus glutinous rice cake, Dingsheng cake, these local snacks in Lin'an to Chang'an, in order to comfort her homesickness. Wanran often tells her interesting stories about Lin'an, and she always likes to end with "My sister doesn't know yet, there are so many interesting people and interesting things in Lin'an City", and at the same time, it is also used as the opening remarks of the next chat. Chang'an didn't want to listen to her gossip, but after a lot of times, she also felt that this was a good way to pass the time, so that she could distract herself and not have so much time to think about Chu Luo.

Although the two were both concubines of the emperor, Wanran did not care about competing for favor, but was closer to Chang'an.

In times of trouble, there are still people who will not leave her, and she is also very content with this.

However, during these days, what she thought about the most was Chu Luo. At night, when the lights are all out, she will miss him immensely, every expression and every movement of him, she always sleeps in the place where Chu Luo has slept day after day, feeling the residual warmth that has long been gone, as if he is still by her side.

However, as long as she thought that he was cruising with other women at this time, she couldn't help but hate him. And so, he fell into a deep sleep, night after night.

Of course, most of the time, she will not hate him, she will always think about what he is doing now, whether he is doing well or not. A few times, she would accidentally catch a glimpse of Chu Luo's figure passing by her hall when he went down to court, and it flashed by, without the slightest intention of stopping. In the past, he gave her to live in the Chonghua Palace, in order to be closer to his Mingde Palace, which was the place she was most proud of, but now, it has become her nightmare.

Over time, she was afraid to stand at the door again, she was afraid to see Chu Luo and Zhong Yuxiu in a sedan chair, laughing past her eyes, as if she was just a stranger.

I really thought about it, she would also stand at the door of Mingde Palace with cold smoke, and no one would pass it on, just stand there. She knew he was inside, and she didn't want to bother him. And every time the result is that after she sees Zhong Yuxiu's figure from afar, she will run away.

She didn't tell Jiang Wanran all this, but Wanran knew everything.

Once Wanran drank with Chang'an in the Chonghua Palace, and he was drunk and rested. When Chang'an fell asleep, she clearly and clearly saw her calling the emperor's name in tears.

What a deep affection it must be.

And all of this is something she has empathized with.

Wanran bandaged Chang'an's wound, stretched out her hand to hold her other hand, and her voice was deep in her ears, comforting people, "Sister misses the emperor so much, why don't you go and see him in person?" ”

Hearing this, Chang An closed his eyes for a moment, perceiving her delicacy and keenness, and smiled slightly bitterly, "He doesn't want to see me again." ”

"Is the emperor unwilling, or is my sister unwilling?" Wanran frowned slightly, and continued before Chang'an spoke, "The emperor's friendship with his sister, my sister sees it in my eyes, if I just snub my sister for this trivial matter, it must be because my sister is too obsessed and refuses to meet the emperor." ”

"A trifle?" Chang'an's expression changed slightly, and he was unconsciously moved, "Do you think it's a trivial matter for him to lose his trust in me and empathize with Zhong Jieyu?!" ”

Seeing Chang'an's anger, Wanran hurriedly knelt down and said, "My sister didn't mean that." It's just that ......" she raised her eyes gently, "the emperor doesn't have a love for Zhong Jieyu." ”

Chang An sneered, "That's because you don't understand him." ”

Chang'an's words seemed to be unintentional, but it also touched Jiang Wanran's sore spot, she has been in the palace for more than two years, but she has not even seen a front of the emperor.

If she doesn't know him, she certainly won't know him.

Chang An saw that Wanran's face was slightly cold, and he knew that he was not thoughtful, so he leaned over and reached out to help her up, "Don't kneel, get up quickly." ”

Wanran held Chang'an's hand and slowly got up, she raised her eyes for a long time, and finally spoke, "Sister, you listen to my advice, go and make amends to the emperor, everything will be fine." ”

Chang'an's face was cold, and there was a bit of sadness in his cold tone, "There is nothing wrong with this palace, why should you go to the emperor to make amends?" If he was wrong, he was even more wrong. ”

Wanran shook his head compassionately, and even his voice changed tone, "The emperor is a monarch, and he is a man, even if he does something wrong, he will not bow his head easily." ”

Chang An sneered, "Then if he doesn't admit it, the palace won't recognize it." ”

Wanran sighed lightly, knowing that she couldn't be persuaded again.

She saw that Chang'an was so affectionate and decisive to the emperor, which made her think of another man.

She hadn't seen him again for a long time, and he was also in this deep palace, but the two had never met. She knew he was deliberately avoiding her.

And that person's name seems to have disappeared a long time ago, and no one has ever mentioned it again.
