Huanchun put down the tent, and saw that the master in the gauze tent was hazy and very beautiful, and couldn't help but think of the matter of her sleeping when she was sick, and sure enough, such a lovely person was in front of him, how could the emperor not be emotional, but soon remembered her body, bent his knees on the edge of the bed and asked: "Is there any discomfort in the master's body?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head, understood what Huanchun said, lowered her head and stroked her flat stomach and smiled: "Don't worry, I will be nervous if you are in a hurry, I don't think there will be children coming, this kind of thing should be best understood by myself, so I will not be disappointed, but I am worried that you will be disappointed, the Queen Mother and Su Mala are both." ”

"The slave doesn't dare to be disappointed, she just feels sorry for you." Huan Chun sighed softly, "If you come again in a few days, those broken mouths must be talking again, and I don't know what ugly words are going to come out." ”

"Does it mean that I seduced the emperor and wasted my effort?" Lan Qi smiled.

Huan Chun frowned, and held her knee through the gauze tent and said, "You must have heard something, right?" Master, don't forget to go to your heart, sooner or later those with broken mouths will get into trouble. ”

Lan Qi smiled and approached her and said, "If you want to say that, it's not me who wasted my efforts, and it was Banzai Ye who seduced me that night." ”

Huan Chun was stunned, and it took a long time before he laughed, and he was disgusted: "The master is becoming more and more improper, but you said it with white teeth, you can't bully the slave and maid in the future, otherwise you will go to the emperor to complain." ”

Lan Qi snorted and turned around, and said proudly: "He won't be angry until he annoys me, how can he pay attention to what you say." It's hot, so take a fan and pounce on me. But there was no movement outside the tent for a long time, and when she turned around, she saw that Huanchun had left, so she lay down beside the bed softly and called, "Huanchun, don't leave me......"

And after those days, the emperor will come to see Chengqian Palace every few days, Concubine Tong's momentum is gradually rising, who met on the road a few days ago and hurried by, this few days and returned to the old temper, the harem rises and falls are common, but most people will converge on the former edge after getting up again, lest it will not be long before they will fall, only Concubine Tong is different, everyone looks coldly, Concubine Tong's posture is bigger than before.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on this day, Yu Kui and Jin He went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the sub-rules, and when they came back, they gloated and said: "The slave saw that An Guiren was punished and knelt on the palace road, and Zhang promised them, that is, the people who usually like to get together to arrange the master, and kneeling on the stone road, in the wind." ”

At that time, Lan Qi was helping Bu Chang to split the embroidery thread, and Bu Chang was surprised, but Lan Qi didn't raise his head, and deftly divided the embroidery thread into shares in his hand, only to hear Bu Chang ask curiously: "What did you punish them, who punished them?" ”

"Who else in the palace is so arrogant?" Yu Kui sighed, "I heard that it was for the Mid-Autumn Festival to tailor clothes, Concubine Tong Niangniang liked her new clothes, and personally went to the sewing room to reward the palace maids and eunuchs. Concubine Tong led them out all the way, and only let those who knelt on the palace road where people came and went, saying that they would have to kneel for two hours before they could get up, and it was only an hour later. ”

Bu Changzai sighed Yukui: "Why do you inquire about everything clearly, your brain is really fast." He also joked with Lan Qi, "You are surrounded by ghosts and cleverness, so you are stupid." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "If you say I'm stupid, I don't work anymore, Duan Guiren and Rong Guiren have made new clothes for the princess, so let's have no new clothes made by my mother to wear during the festival." Saying that, he looked at Yu Kui again, "You go and inquire about these useless things again, Huanchun will definitely scold you when she comes back in a while, don't mention it later, she is on fire these days." ”

But who knew that Huanchun went to Nala and promised to send things back, and he also talked about these things happily, as if he was refreshed with a bad breath, standing in front of the door and laughing: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, An Guiren still handed the sachet in front of the Empress Dowager last time, can Concubine Tong not remember this hatred?" Let her be okay to meet you and taunt her, relying on the fact that she is a nobleman, she thinks that she is out of the sky. ”

It turned out that it was not Yukui or Huanchun to inquire about these things, the palace had already spread, Concubine Tong threw them on the crowded road so that the masters and slaves could see the punishment and kneel, it must be deliberately to let everyone know, and the harem has always been different from respect and inferiority, a concubine punishes nobles often, and the top does not care, not to mention that An Guiren's character is there, and everyone thinks it is normal that she will be punished.

Everyone said a few words and put it aside, because the Empress Dowager gave a decree to let several princesses of the elder brother make new clothes for their children to wear for the festival, and the cloth was often inconvenient and afraid of being unclean a few days ago, so she waited for a few days before she began to prepare, but the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, so she was in a hurry, Lan Qi only helped to give a hand, and every stitch and thread on the clothes was the hard work of Bu Chang.

The two of them are busy, there are guests outside, people have not arrived, laughter has arrived, not waiting to see it to know that it is Yi Guiren, Huanchun opened the curtain and really welcomed Yi Guiren in, everyone was busy leaving the work in their hands to salute, but was held by Yi Guiren and said: "A few of us are still like this, I will not come in the future." As she spoke, she sat down on the kang and saw the embroidery thread of the cloth on the kang table, she didn't reach out to touch it, but just asked, "Are you making clothes for Duanjing?" You are too late, Hui Guiren and Rong Guiren have already done it. ”

Bu Changzai also sat down with a smile, as if he was afraid that Yi Guiren would touch it, so he pulled it over and continued to sew, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of being late, it's good that the concubine has the intention of being a mother." ”

Lan Qi brought tea to Yi Guiren, Yi Guiren asked her to sit down and talk, and sighed after drinking tea: "The eldest princess Gong Yu led the children to the palace to play, and they are talking in Yikun Palace, they don't want to see me, and I feel uncomfortable in the house, so I will come to see you." ”

Bu Chang responded: "It seems that the eldest princess and Concubine Zhao are very close." ”

Yi Guiren picked a pickled plum from the food box brought by Huanchun and put it in her mouth, which made her frown, but she liked it very much, and said: "Listening to the people in the palace, the eldest princess was close to Concubine Zhao before she got married, and now they often go to the queen mother, of course they are closer." ”

Lan Qi unprovoked remembered the words of the little palace maid in the pantry that night, saying that the eldest princess was an ominous person, but the silence of the Aobai clan was their own sin, what does it have to do with the eldest princess, the children she gave birth to are all healthy, and her husband is now mentioning the prince and young master, obviously there is a sign of a prosperous husband, it can be seen that the two layers of skin of the human mouth, in this world, it is forbidden to write and books, only people can't control talking.

And soon Yi Guiren talked about An Guiren and their punishment for kneeling on the palace road, talking about the people in the needlework room, Yi Guiren said: "Sister Hui received a palace maid from the needlework room, and I was also on the side when I came to Yikun Palace to report to Concubine Zhao Niangniang that day, she said that she and the palace maids around her were clumsy and couldn't make good clothes, and she took a fancy to a little girl in the needlework room, and asked Niang Niang to assign the girl to her." ”

Bu Chang said softly: "Doesn't Hui Guiren make it for the eldest brother himself?" ”

"I should also take a hand, but I heard that the little palace maid is very capable, and later even Rong Guiren and Duan Guiren asked her to help." Yi Guiren couldn't help but sigh softly as he spoke, "I really envy you, and I don't know when I will be blessed again." As he spoke, he also pointed at Lan Qi, "Why are you not blessed, after going back to bed, there was no movement again." ”

Lan Qi only smiled: "If you are not a blessed person, you will not come to the Lord of Long Live Lord, you and Sister Bu are blessed, and the concubines are naturally too." ”

Yi Guiren liked it very much, and finally laughed again, beckoned Huanchun to give her another plum, and said happily: "It's still the best for you here." ”

And said that at this moment in the Yikun Palace, the eldest princess is holding her little daughter to sleep, Concubine Zhao led her eldest son to teach her to write, the little guy learns very fast, but he can't sit still at a young age, and it didn't take long for him to beg to go out to play, so he let Dongyun and the nurses take him away, and he hugged the little daughter from the arms of the eldest princess to coax her, watching the little girl gradually fall asleep peacefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm just not blessed." ”

The eldest princess also said: "It's a pity that I'm not a prince, otherwise it's better to raise the child under your knees to relieve boredom." ”

Concubine Zhao smiled bitterly: "Look at Chunxi, raised in a little nobleman, the emperor is really enough to lift, your child is fine, don't send it in to suffer this grievance." ”

To say that the eldest princess's relatives are not even nobles until she dies, but you can understand that Concubine Zhao did not despise herself, otherwise she would not be able to get close to her. For the sake of herself, her husband's family and the children, the eldest princess can no longer suffer the grievances of the past, and she hopes that she can also get along well with one or two concubines in the concubine, and if something happens in the future, she can say a few words, and now the palace concubine Zhao respects it, and she has affection in the past, so she naturally walks around Yikun Palace diligently.

"There are so many elder princesses in the palace, why don't you ask the emperor for mercy to let you raise a few?" The eldest princess asked, "Even a noble person can have a princess." ”

"I'm not rare." Concubine Zhao smiled coldly, "In the past, I wanted to raise my eldest brother, but if the Empress Dowager didn't let go, I would look down on it anymore." Anyway, my sister will enter the palace next year, and it doesn't necessarily mean that I won't give birth, and she won't give birth either. At the moment, I don't fight with those young people, but my sister is here, I must fight for her, and when she has a child, we fellow sisters are equivalent to my children, and I can only be happy to be happy to raise me like that. ”

The eldest princess bowed: "If you think so, I'm relieved." ”

As he was talking, Dong Yun came in with the Mid-Autumn Festival gift of filial piety from the ministers outside, such things have not stopped in the past few days, so many that Concubine Zhao is not uncommon to see, today the eldest princess came, knowing that their family is far worse than before, and even if you are a princess, everything is limited, so let Dong Yun pick out a lot of things, only to give them to a few children to play, the eldest princess is naturally grateful.

At this time, Dongyun said: "There is something lively outside, can Niangniang and the eldest princess hear it?" ”

The eldest princess smiled and asked, "The one who can make Dongyun laugh too, shouldn't it be the one from Chengqian Palace?" ”

"Isn't it?" Dong Yun hurriedly said those things about An Guiren, the eldest princess sighed a few words, but when she calmed down, she said to Concubine Zhao, "The emperor is still very close to there in recent days, and I don't know what the emperor likes about this little cousin, I have seen so many people in the royal family and nobles, and it is really the first time I have seen such an arrogant and swaggering." He said angrily, "Although I am not good now, I am still the daughter of the first emperor, a serious princess, please be in the queen mother's palace that day, can you see her posture, she is offering herself as a queen?" ”

The word queen poked the heart of Concubine Zhao, and next year's election may be sealed, but the day of the election has been set after the autumn, and the canonization must be at that time, but now it is only after this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and what will be the situation in the next year, no one can guess that this year's year-on-year longing, longing for it. In case Concubine Tong looked forward to a man and a woman, thinking of this, her heart tightened, and she suddenly said to the eldest princess: "Gong Wei, can you help me ......"

Before Concubine Zhao finished speaking, she heard a lot of people coming outside, and a little palace maid rushed in and said, "Niangniang is coming out, Gonggong Li has come to announce the decree." ”

"Decree?"

In this compartment, Yi Guiren is playing shuttlecock with a few little palace maids in Zhongcui Palace, she just likes the peaceful and happy atmosphere here, the master and slave are like sisters, where is like the rules and regulations of Yikun Palace, and she is having a good time, Taohong hurriedly came and said: "Master, go back quickly, the emperor has just decreed that Concubine Zhao is a concubine." ”

Lan Qi and Bu Changzai also heard this, and hurriedly put down the things in their hands and came out, so they heard Taohong say that the will that Gonggong Li had just sent was made, and Concubine Zhao was crowned as a concubine, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was canonized.

"I'll go back first, you can also change your clothes, and you have to go over to congratulate you." Yi Guiren left in a hurry, Lan Qi and Bu Chang didn't dare to delay, they wore their clothes seriously, waited for the movement outside, and waited for Concubine Zhao to go back from Cining Palace to go over to salute, but not long after Jin He, who went out to inquire about the news, came back and said: "Chengqian Palace just invited the imperial doctor." ”

Lan Qi didn't think about anything, but Bu Changzai said, "It won't be there." ”

When the two of them came to Yikun Palace with the crowd to say hello to Concubine Zhao, Concubine Zhao was asking the Dongyun faction to reward the sisters, but someone from the Chengqian Palace came to tell her: "The imperial doctor diagnosed that Concubine Tong was pregnant, and she had been presented to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor. ”

All the concubines and concubines are embarrassed, and now Yikun Palace has finally really overwhelmed Chengqian Palace, but people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the emperor has good news as soon as he regains favor, but everyone is also relieved at the same time, she has only had a miscarriage, this time she will definitely not dare to be careless, at least in the past year and a half, Concubine Tong will not go out to be powerful.

"Today is really a double happiness, Concubine Tong is very important at the moment, why don't we go and see her?" Concubine Zhao said these words with a smile, as if she didn't want Concubine Tong to escape and congratulate herself, even if she didn't have to kneel down and salute now, she had to listen to her call Concubine in person, so that she could understand that she was subservient.

Of course, others did not dare to disobey the meaning of the concubine, and followed the concubine's soft sedan chair all the way, and the gate of the Chengqian Palace was open, as if they knew that they were coming, but Concubine Tong was not in front of the door, let alone in the main hall, she was lying on the couch, and when she saw the concubine coming in, she had no intention of getting up, and said lazily in a joking manner: "I still want my sister to come to see me, I should have gone to ask you for peace." ”

A palace maid respectfully moved a stool for the concubine to sit down, she sat firmly in front of the couch, watched the others salute Concubine Tong, and smiled with a smile: "My sister is the most blessed, we are all here to be happy, you take good care of it, this time you have to give birth to a little brother to the emperor." ”

Concubine Tong squinted her eyes and smiled: "Where does my sister dare to be more blessed than my sister?" There was another sound in his mouth, and he said with a smile, "The concubine should be smacked, how can she dare to be on an equal footing with her sister now, the concubine is young and ignorant, and she still asks the concubine to take care of it." ”

Lan Qi and Bu Chang were standing behind the crowd, there were many people coming, crowded inside, the two of them couldn't see the situation in front of them here, but they heard these words, looked at each other, and there was a look of helplessness in their eyes, and not only them, but the Hui nobles and Duan nobles on the side also understood in their hearts that Yikun Palace finally overpowered Chengqian Palace, and Chengqian Palace was really about to fight her.

After everyone came out, they dispersed directly at the gate of Chengqian Palace, Lan Qi and Bu Changzai lived closest, and walked back to the palace, but on the way they saw An Guiren limping over, Xu Shicai knelt after punishment, and hurried to come to Concubine Tong to say hello, and when he saw them, he asked how they dispersed, and when he heard that Concubine Zhao had gone back to Yikun Palace, he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and scolded the palace maid beside him: "Tell you to wait for a while, I want to come here, of course, I have to respect the concubine Niangniang first." ”

Walking away with such a scolding grin, Lan Qi and Bu Chang were watching and crying and laughing, and when they went back, Bu Chang sighed and said: "An Guiren's temper has never changed, the emperor still saw her occasionally in the old years, and I heard that I haven't seen her once in the past two years." I'm not qualified to talk about people, but I have you and Duanjing, what does she have? If you continue to toss like this, this time it will only be punished and kneeling, and I don't know what to do next time. ”

"But she still enjoys it." Even Lan Qi couldn't help but say this, but thinking about this palace, people like An Guiren who are always high-footed and low-footed and foolish can still be remembered, even if they remember her bad, but those who are divided by An An will be forgotten, I heard that the Internal Affairs Office does not always look at which one is bullied, but it is really silent for too long, so long that people don't remember that there are such one or two people at all, no wonder people often say that crying children have milk to eat. Although An Guiren is neither high nor low there, she has relied on her status as a nobleman, and she has never been bullied by anyone, maybe she also has a way for her to survive in this world.

Such a lively palace has continued until the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's suppression of the three feudatories has been repeatedly successful, the treasury has confiscated and recovered countless silver taels, the days in the palace are much more prosperous than in previous years, this time and the concubine, although the time is in a hurry, but also in the end in the Mid-Autumn Festival Zhang Luo out of the decent canonization ceremony.

When Lan Qi saw the concubine with big makeup in Cining Palace, she was really full of jewels and was very different from the low-key and simple description in the past, and everyone was saying that if you canonize the concubine this year, you will be able to canonize the queen next year.

Every time she mentions the canonization of the Middle Palace, Lan Qi will think of Empress Hesheri, and think of the back of Xuan Ye in the heavy rain on the day after her death, although she has never seen the emperor so sad again, she would rather the emperor be happy every day, but that scene has never been lingering in her mind.

There was a thought in her heart that she didn't dare to tell anyone, she always felt that Xuan Ye was unwilling to make anyone the queen again, even if he had said that seemingly joking thing to himself, and he even caused trouble to separate the two of them, but in her opinion, in the emperor's heart, no one could replace the existence of Empress Hesheri.

Hiding these thoughts in his heart for some reason, Lan Qi's expression has been heavy, and I don't know what lively scenes I watched at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, what delicious dishes I ate, and when I was led back to Zhongcui Palace to change clothes and bathe, I suddenly woke up, this day has passed, and I am laughing at myself for being stupid again, Jin He hurriedly came in, and said through the screen: "Master, take a bath, Manager Li sent someone to pass the decree, and the emperor turned over your brand tonight." ”

Lan Qi was surprised, the emperor flipped over her brand? Didn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs stop her green card, after she was beaten in the old year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs removed the sign that Wu Chang was in, these days, she either occasionally bumped into the emperor, or was ordered to serve the sick last time, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs made her brand again, and she didn't know at all.

Huanchun hurriedly pressed the master into the wooden barrel to take a bath, and whispered: "Although the concubine is happy today, but the concubine is a good day, and the slave doesn't know if the concubine is blessed or not." ”

Since the master was beaten and lonely, Huanchun changed his previous temperament, and served by Lan Qi's side steadily, Su Mala's grandmother asked her to take care of her and protect her master, and she came all the way up and down, she showed a smug look on her face for the first time today, and coaxed the master and said: "You are going to bed tonight, and the master is going out with his head and his waist straight." ”

Lan Qi smiled suddenly: "Where is my turn to go out?" ”

Sure enough, Wu Changzai was wrapped in a quilt and sent to the dragon couch of the Qianqing Palace as he had been in bed on the first day, quietly waiting for the emperor's favor, but she was Xuan Ye's person early tomorrow, she didn't know why she was so nervous tonight, and when she heard the familiar footsteps, she sat up nervously.

The bright yellow tent was opened, Xuan Ye's slightly drunk smile appeared in front of him, Lan Qi shrank behind him wrapped in the quilt, but as soon as he saw Xuan Ye stretching out his hand, he took the initiative to come over.

Holding the fragrant and soft person in her arms, Xuan Ye breathed in her ear with a faint smell of wine: "This little Chang is here, are you willing to give me a little brother tonight?" ”

On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the affection in the Qianqing Palace was lingering, but in the bedroom of Yikun Palace, Concubine Zhao was still wearing her heavy auspicious clothes and did not take off. ”

"It's been half an hour."

"It's good to be over." Concubine Zhao's expression condensed, "At this time next year, we will change places to live, Dongyun, the emperor promised me that I will be canonized as the queen in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year." ”

Dongyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent his knees to congratulate his master, but he heard the master say coldly: "But why do I always feel that my heart is still empty?" ”
