Chapter 171: I have no choice but to do it

Qin Yang looked like he was fine, got up and took the feather fan back, and continued to paralyze to death in the rocking chair while shaking it.

"I'm talking to you!" Wen Wanrong poked him in the shoulder.

Qin Yang was lazy and said "ah": "I heard it." ”

"I heard a squeak!"

"Squeak."

"You!"

Qin Yang didn't even bother to move his neck, and his eyes turned to Wen Wanrong: "It's not that you said that I heard a squeak, I squeaked." ”

Wen Wanrong was deflated: "Why didn't you have this attitude towards Brother Ying just now?" ”

Qin Yang looked indifferent: "What a big deal, it's not over if you fall down and get up, cry a fart, Lao Tzu is the most annoying and crying." ”

As he spoke, he retracted his gaze and looked at the blue sky outside the door, as if talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Wen Wanrong: "I don't know who takes care of the children on grandmother's side on weekdays, Holly?" It's still the little girls in the house who are chattering, no wonder the Ying brothers and girls are chattering, and they don't have any tiger energy at all. ”

The words are not rough, Wen Wanrong originally complained like a deflated ball, but her tone softened: "Grandmother also said that she was worried that Brother Ying would be affected when she grew up with the maids. ”

"Grandmother's words are right." Qin Yang's tone was light, as if he had no intention of mentioning another matter, "You know that Song Zhi has a half-brother, Song Rui, right?" ”

Wen Wanrong nodded: "I've heard Song Zhi mention it before. ”

Qin Yang continued: "Lao Tzu doesn't think he was born, but his mother is afraid that his cousin will take away the child, so she has raised Song Rui in her own house since she was a child. ”

Wen Wanrong listened, she didn't speak for a long time, she lowered her head, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, circled and circled, and said softly for a while: "I understand what you mean, but you can change Brother Ying'er's temper at once, and you can't be too simple and rude, I will teach him well if you are not at home during the day." ”

Qin Yang poured cold water: "Wen Wanrong, I'm not even afraid of you, do you still care about Brother Ying?" ”

Speaking of Sasa, Wen Wanrong was very dissatisfied: "Why is Sasa not afraid of me, it's not what you're used to!" She really doesn't understand anything, you are spoiled, oh, by the way, I forgot to say, your daughter has learned to throw things now, what to throw, you scold her, she laughs, and she doesn't change her repeatedly. ”

Qin Yang was not ashamed but proud, and smiled badly: "Look at it, Lao Tzu's baby is enough tiger." ”

Wen Wanrong said "um" coolly: "That's it, compared with Brother Ying'er, the two genders are reversed, and your daughter should be a brat." ”

Qin Yang said that there was no hurry: "The kid is waiting for you to regenerate." ”

As soon as he thought of giving birth to a son, he was energetic, and he didn't paralyze to death, he got up and coaxed, and even dragged Wen Wanrong to the back room, and did his best to create a human being......

After the incident, the two took a bath together, Wen Wanrong remembered the matter of appreciating the lotus, and asked Qin Yang: "I remember that when Qi Juma was in the past, he would be invited to participate in any activities in the palace, did the palace send you an invitation this time?" ”

Qin Yang put his arm around her waist, closed his eyes and said comfortably, "It's sent." ”

Wen Wanrong turned her head and asked, "Why didn't I hear you mention it?" ”

"I pushed."

"You're not going?"

"No, no."

Wen Wanrong touched the calluses on his palms, and said softly: "It's good to have a banquet in the palace, and the emperor will also go, I'm afraid it's not good if you push it." ”

Qin Yang opened his eyes, didn't want to soak anymore, got up and took a bath, and his voice was flat: "Lao Tzu is so busy that he can't afford to look at the flowers, and there is also a lotus pond in the house, I want to go to the backyard to see enough." ”

Wen Wanrong felt tired and didn't want to move: "Can the house be compared to the golden lotus pond in the Imperial Garden?" ”

Qin Yang didn't pay so much attention to it: "It's just a lotus, no matter how beautiful it is, can it grow on the shore?" Come on, you go, by the way, arrange the matter of Peony entering the palace, I will find a chance to meet Qin Yu and see what moth he has come up with. ”

Wen Wanrong explained: "There is something I forgot to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want Peony to tell my eldest brother, say what my grandmother meant, and pass on Brother Ying'er to us."

Hearing this, Qin Yang was silent for a while, as if he had something to say, and finally came out with only a few words: "Okay, I know." ”

came and went, and the Qin family had an explanation for Peony and Qin Yu.

As for what will happen next, no one can predict.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was excellent, the blue sky was thousands of miles, the sun was shining, the grandmother of Renshou Palace and Concubine Qi Shu were afraid of the queen mother's heat stroke, so they deliberately postponed the lantern festival for an hour.

Concubine Qi Shu didn't come, and the Queen Mother asked the old lady next to her: "Where is Concubine Qi Shu?" ”

The old lady replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Qi Shu is now accompanying the emperor in the imperial study." ”

The Queen Mother understood, didn't ask any more, and turned to Wen Wanrong again: "The mourning family heard that Qin Juma has a heavy official business in the Privy Council, so can't he come?" ”

The implication is that it can come or come.

Wen Wanrong guessed that Qin Yang didn't like the harem banquet, and excused himself and said that he was busy, he was indeed busy, but he didn't even have an hour or two to spare.

But the Queen Mother is an old man, and she likes the excitement of her children and grandchildren, and her requirements are understandable.

Wen Wanrong pondered, and spoke for Qin Yang with careful words: "Imperial grandmother, General Qin has been discussing with the imperial uncle in the imperial study at three or five o'clock recently, and the grandson is a woman's family, so it is not appropriate to ask more." But General Qin repeatedly stated that it was a pity that he could not accompany his grandmother, and he went to Renshou Palace to make amends. ”

One sentence has two meanings, as soon as the emperor is brought out, the queen mother does not care; Second, what women are not easy to ask about must be a major national event, how can the Queen Mother not know that everything is important to national affairs.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother sighed slightly, and patted Wen Wanrong's hand: "That's it, Qin Horse is the pillar of the country, and it is her duty to share the emperor's worries." ”

Wen Wanrong bowed her head, and went back to tell Qin Yang that this kind of entertainment should come or come in the future, just for leisure and entertainment.

Waiting for the group to go to the Golden Lotus Pond in the Imperial Garden, Wen Wanrong glanced around quietly, the food and refreshments on the low table had already been prepared, except for the emperor and Concubine Qi Shu, the other concubines were invited to sit down early and wait, and saluted the Queen Mother together.

The queen mother was naturally happy, and asked the old grandmother to share the prepared pearl and green gadgets, but when she mentioned Concubine Qi Shu, her tone faded down, and she said to the grandmother next to her: "The emperor is not the emperor of one person, the rain and dew are even, and the six palaces are peaceful, so that they can be more royal heirs." ”

In just a few words, everyone heard the direction of the Queen Mother's wind.

Wen Wanrong intermittently heard the whispers of two concubines not far away.

One said: "Concubine Qi Shu said that the Queen Mother was favored, did she give her the fan that she gave to Princess Wanyi before?" ”

The other said: "The fan was given to her, and it was shown in front of us, why is it ...... like this?"

This moment was interrupted later, someone booed, turned his gaze to Wen Wanrong and quickly moved away, and his voice was lowered: "What are you talking nonsense?" Her Royal Highness the princess can sit next to the Queen Mother! Be careful to hear! ”

Next, there was silence.

Wen Wanrong heard it all, but pretended not to hear it, she lowered her eyes, opened the tea lid and brushed the tea soup, and took a small sip, thinking about Concubine Qi Shu's pampering and pride?

It seems that the emperor is not ordinary in favor of her, but it is just ......

Wen Wanrong thought about it, and silently calculated the time in her heart, since Concubine Qi Shufei's miscarriage, it has been more than a year and a half, why hasn't her stomach moved?

It stands to reason that both the medical skills and medicinal materials used in the Tai Hospital are the most advanced.

Is it because the emperor didn't stay, or did Concubine Qi Shufei lose her body by slipping a tire last time, and it was difficult to get pregnant again?

Wen Wanrong couldn't guess.

But if the former is not kept, it can only mean that the emperor has another choice for the woman who has an heir.

If the latter, Concubine Qi Shu's favor may not be a good thing, and the moon is full, not to mention that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with her, once it breaks out, she will only become the target of the harem.

After thinking about it, Wen Wanrong felt that Peony had a good chance of winning tonight.

She was still thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a "The emperor has arrived", and everyone got up to greet her.

Wen Wanrong retracted her thoughts, and when she looked down, she saw behind the bright yellow dragon robe, followed by a scarlet peach-colored brocade dress, which must be Concubine Qi Shu.

The emperor sat down, and everyone sat down.

Wen Wanrong secretly glanced at Xiao Jing, her face was ruddy, her aura was lofty, and she couldn't tell her actual age at all.

Looking at Concubine Qi Shu sitting on the side, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her jade fat is soft, and her golden steps are shining with phoenix beads, graceful and luxurious, and she has long been out of the way she was in Qi Mansion.

Wen Wanrong can't say how she feels, now everyone has different identities, different statuses, things are people, and then in the future, the childhood friendship will become a memory, and it can only be a memory.

Concubine Qi didn't expect Wen Wanrong to really come, in her impression, Wen Wanrong was happy and quiet, and she didn't like to socialize and be lively.

Probably with the emperor by his side, the two briefly collided with each other, and there was no intersection.

One serves the emperor and the other serves the queen mother, each performing its own duties.

The sky is not completely dark, and the octagonal palace lamps by the golden lotus pond are lit up one by one, illuminating a pool of various colors of lotus.

The emperor got up with interest and walked to admire the lotus, and the others naturally followed suit.

Wen Wanrong didn't join in the fun, and helped the Queen Mother silently listen to the other people's talk and laughter, and estimated the time in her heart, waiting for the appearance of the peony.

In order to show off the few taels of ink in her stomach, Concubine Qi Shu deliberately asked someone to take two glasses of wine, and laughed and said that she wanted to play the wine order.

Xiao Jing was in front of everyone, and one concubine went first, and the other concubines were sour.

Wen Wanrong glanced at the smug Concubine Qi Shu, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

She thought, whether Concubine Qi Shufei really didn't know or pretended not to know, the body in front of her didn't even let her give birth to a child, was it love?

Or is it just a pleasing venting tool......

Wen Wanrong took a deep breath and exhaled again, looked at the sky, and counted down silently.

Sure enough, the word "one" in the heart just fell, and the sound of water sounded from far and near in the pond, and everyone was stunned, wondering who dared to disturb the holy lotus appreciation, and saw a shadow standing on the boat, graceful Tingting, under the light of the cherry pink lantern on the bow of the boat, the ethereal translucent brocade cloak covered half of the face, revealing the red lips and the white and soft neck, and slowly stopped.

Then without waiting for everyone's reaction, he sat down on his knees, picked up the prepared pipa, and played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water", which was played in love for three points, and the tactful and melodious singing voice floated in-

It is like Mount Tai, and it is like a river......

The breeze blows, and the air is contaminated with lotus fragrance, mixed with the lily fragrance that once appeared in Jingyang Palace.

Wen Wanrong quietly observed Xiao Jing's stunned expression, and a subtle smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

still hugging the pipa and half-covering his face, the hinge plucks the strings three or two times, and there is love before the tune...... The most appropriate portrayal of the peony at the moment.

"Pull people ashore!" Xiao Jing suddenly reacted and ordered the palace people around him.

Immediately afterwards, groups of small eunuchs, some of whom went into the water and some of whom pulled from the shore, pushed the boats to the shore.

Xiao Jing didn't care about the presence of others, nor did he care about the face of the Ninety-Five, and personally picked up the peony and disembarked.

As soon as Peony came ashore, he kowtowed and apologized, saying that he deserved death for disturbing the holy driver.

Xiao Jing's eyes flashed with a flirtatious look, with a smile on his mouth, he helped her up for a moment, took the opportunity to pull down his hood, stared at Peony's delicate face, and his eyes were straight.

Not to mention Xiao Jing, even the group that came later, including Wen Wanrong, was slightly stunned.

Peony is really a woman who has been trained in Powder Alley, she is well versed in men's preferences and thoughts, with a touch of heavy makeup and charm, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Xiao Jing listened as if he was interrogating, his tone was provocative, his hand touched his thin waist without a trace, and he hugged it vigorously into his arms.

Peony snorted lightly, and the weak wind threw herself into the arms of the Ming Huang dragon robe, raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the people behind her, lowered her eyes again, and said "The folk girl should die" half-pushed and half-glutinously, crisp to the bones.

Xiao Jing seemed to understand, suddenly laughed, hooked her chin, condescendingly said, "You really deserve to die", turned to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and left quickly with Peony.

The little eunuch was clever and shouted "Get up and go back to the palace", and the group reacted.

Everyone guessed who had just come in to offer it to the saint, but Concubine Qi Shu's face was red and white, and she left a sentence with the queen mother that she was unwell, and ran away without looking back.

The concubines who were sour had different expressions, and most of them were waiting to see the joke of Concubine Qi falling out of favor.

Only Wen Wanrong lowered her eyes and remained silent, always following the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was full of suspicion about the woman of unknown origin, and asked the grandmother on the side to check, and the grandmother was careful, saying that the incense on the woman's body seemed to be from Jingyang Palace.

The Queen Mother said "oh" with a deep meaning, and did not ask anyone to track it down.

A good lotus lantern festival has become an affair for the emperor, who is still in the mood to eat tea and watch the lanterns, and tacitly guesses that it will not be long before there will be many concubines in the harem.

On the way back to Renshou Palace, Wen Wanrong accompanied the Queen Mother to listen to the old grandmother's analysis without saying a word.

The old lady said that it was really unclear why Concubine Qi Shu lifted a stone to hit her feet.

Maybe you want to follow the previous method of Queen Du, afraid that one day you will fall out of favor, first find a woman to tie the emperor's trouser belt?

I didn't know that I used too much force to push myself to the brink of defeat in advance.

The Queen Mother raised her hand, sighed, signaled that she didn't need to say any more, and then turned to Wen Wanrong, her eyes full of kindness: "I didn't listen to you just now, what's the matter?" Got in the mind? ”

Wen Wanrong shook her head, lowered her head and smiled: "My grandson listened to Mama's words, and he was so distracted that he forgot what to say." ”

Seeing that it was dark, the Queen Mother didn't leave her to eat tea and talk, and asked someone to send her out of the palace.

Wen Wanrong was full of satisfaction and worried that the peony would be debunked by the emperor, so she went to the vicinity of the Baohe Hall alone, and saw that the hall was brightly lit and the door of the palace was closed.

She thought that if she completed Qin Yu's request, he should keep his promise to let her go, let go of Qin Yang and the Qin family, and it was best to leave Yandu honestly.

"Wen Wanrong!" An angry voice interrupted her thoughts.

Wen Wanrong raised her head, and before she had time to see the comer, she saw a slender figure rushing in front of her with a skirt, and she couldn't prevent a heavy slap.

She turned her head suddenly, her mouth smelling of rust, and her face was burning with pain.

The other party's sharp voice echoed in the corridor: "Wen Wanrong! Hongu is going to kill you! Kill you! ”

Wen Wanrong heard that it was Concubine Qi Shufei's voice, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything she wanted to say, when she heard the little palace maid who came up to persuade her to grab Concubine Qi Shufei and said hurriedly: "Niangniang!" Empress! You are angry! The other party is Princess Wanyi, you can't do it! ”

Concubine Qi Shu was so angry that she broke free and pounced, and the second slap was raised, and she was pulled back by the palace maid.

Seeing that she couldn't hold back, the palace maid said to Wen Wanrong again: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you go quickly!" Come on! ”

Concubine Qi Shu didn't let her, and shouted with angry eyes: "Wen Wanrong! You and my childhood friend, but you hurt me so much! Where is the intention! What's the intention!! ”

Wen Wanrong knew that this catastrophe could not be avoided after all, she calmly withdrew all the palace maids, stood in front of Concubine Qi Shu, bowed her head and said: "Sister Qi, I still call you sister, this matter is that I am sorry for you, I owe you, and I will return it in the future." ”

"Is it really you?!" When the truth was in front of her, Concubine Qi Shu was stunned, and shook her head in disbelief for a while, "Wen Wanrong, I didn't expect you to retaliate against me like this for the former mustard, I had no choice but to do so, and now that the queen has fallen, I finally have a few days of comfortable life, you can't see me, right?" ”

"No, I ......"

She wanted to say that she had no choice but to say that she wanted her to wake up and not fall into the illusion of the emperor's favor.

But can Concubine Qi listen to it?

Wen Wanrong frowned, tried her best to remain calm and continued: "Sister Qi, what I promised you today will definitely be done, you will always be my childhood best friend." ”

"Friends?" Concubine Qi Shufei laughed angrily and tore off her hypocritical mask, "Wen Wanrong, do you have the face to say that we are friends?!" On the day you sent the fan, you figured out how to send that sassy fox to the emperor! ”

Wen Wanrong didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Concubine Qi Shu said openly: "Okay, good! I said why are you so kind, willing to give me the things that the Queen Mother gave you, is it in your heart, and you also think that I am a cheap embryo born by a foreign-raised woman, and I only deserve to stay in the dark and narrow small courtyard, eat bran and swallow vegetables, and be inferior? ! ”

Wen Wanrong hurriedly explained: "I didn't think like this, I never ......"

"Shut up!"

Qi Shufei sneered, Danko's long fingers dug deep into Wen Wanrong's cheeks and scratched the blood, and then pushed hard with all her strength.

Wen Wanrong was defenseless, and sat on the ground with her buttocks, frowning in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Concubine Qi looked down at her coldly, word by word, "From now on, I, you, will be incompatible!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the narrow and dim corridor.

Wen Wanrong sat on the ground for a while before she slowly got up, limped around her waist, and walked towards the noon gate.

As soon as she left the palace gate, a tall figure greeted her and held her, her voice revealing concern: "Wen Wanrong, what's wrong with you?" Where's the fall? ”

Wen Wanrong didn't expect Qin Yang to come to pick her up.

She didn't say goodbye, suddenly threw herself into his arms, and said with a crying voice: "Qin Yang, I completely offended Concubine Qi Shu!" ”

Qin Yang was stunned by the sudden cry, and found the scars on her face that she had been beaten and scratched by the moonlight, and her face sank: "Didn't you go to enjoy the lotus?" Where did the wound on the face come from? Concubine Qi Shu's little girl beaten?! ”

Wen Wanrong shook her head and said that it was inconvenient to talk outside.

Qin Yang saw her crying pitifully, and carried the person into the carriage.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked her.

Wen Wanrong told the general story of what had happened, hid in Qin Yang's arms, and felt a chill in her heart: "Qin Yang, I admit that I am selfish, but the Qin family has dozens of lives, compared with a self-deceptive illusion, I can't sacrifice the interests of the family for an illusion!" ”

Qin Yang knew that she was embarrassed, so she hugged her hard, and her voice was astringent: "Wen Wanrong, it's the Qin family who is sorry for you, you didn't do anything wrong." ”

Wen Wanrong lay on his shoulder and cried silently: "I don't want to, I have no choice." ”

Qin Yang said he knew.

Wen Wanrong said: "Qin Yang, I'm cold. ”

Qin Yang hugged her tightly, patted her back, and said softly: "Wen Wanrong, it will pass." ”

Wen Wanrong didn't speak, she just hugged his neck tightly, clinging to her warm body, and said for a while: "Qin Yang, I don't want to stay in Yandu anymore, after everything calms down, let's move to another place with Sassa and Brother Ying." ”

Qin Yang said: "You can go wherever you want." ”

Wen Wanrong said, "I don't know where to go", the corners of her mouth sank, and she buried her face in Qin Yang's shoulder with great grievance, crying and sobbing.

Qin Yang sighed and listened to her cry silently, until she was tired of crying, and he asked her if she was better.

Wen Wanrong nodded like a little girl, leaning softly into his arms, talking about the past.

She said: "Qin Yang, when I was a child, as long as I knew that Concubine Qi Shu came to see me, I would secretly leave a delicious food for her, and she did the same to me." ”

"But why did it evolve into ......what it is today?"

Wen Wanrong lowered her head, thinking about it, and a chill surged in her heart: "Qin Yang, is it okay for you to hug me." ”

Qin Yang said yes, took her in his arms, stroked her back, lowered his head and asked, "Did you fall hard?" Go back and see, I'll give you the medicine. ”

Wen Wanrong pointed to the lower back near the place below, saying that it hurt when she walked.

Qin Yang immediately understood what was going on, and scolded her for being stupid: "She pushes you, you don't know how to let it, sit down hard, it is easy to hurt your spine." ”

Wen Wanrong sniffed and whispered, "I think she can relieve her qi by doing it." ”

Qin Yang didn't have a problem with her: "Are you stupid?" You can't hurt yourself if you get angry! ”

Wen Wanrong nestled in his arms and didn't speak.

Qin Yang hugged the person up, took out a free hand, and pressed it down his spine: "If it hurts, say it." ”

Finally, when she pressed the tailbone, Wen Wanrong hissed.

Qin Yang: "Go back and give you medicine." ”

Wen Wanrong nodded obediently.

Qin Yang told again: "Don't hug Sassa and Brother Ying tomorrow, raise them for two days, it's not a big problem." ”

Wen Wanrong still nodded obediently.

Qin Yang helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and the sweat on her forehead, and asked her not to go to Dingxing tomorrow: "What's good in the palace, run to Renshou Palace every day." ”

Wen Wanrong said that she would not go tomorrow, and thought of Peony again: "I went to see it outside the Baohe Palace, and it is estimated that she will sleep tonight." ”

Qin Yang didn't want to listen to these moths: "Okay, you are benevolent and righteous, Qin Yu will come to trouble again, Lao Tzu will beat him to death!" ”

Wen Wanrong's little daughter-in-law said, "I don't want you to do anything with him." ”

Qin Yang asked her to leave it alone: "Lao Tzu can't protect you, but you have to." ”
