Concubine Tong has a good temperament, and she is no longer so resentful when she says that she is bitter, and she is willing to get close to the gentle Lan Qi, and unconsciously said what she said: "It would be good if the imperial concubine Niangniang could be like you, but she is her own sister, and she is stricter to her concubines than anyone else, if you say the same thing, the concubines will be very useful, but listening to her say that, there is nothing else but grievances." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Niangniang, she is worried about you, and if you are someone else, you can't get into the eyes of Niangniang, right?" ”

Concubine Tong was right to think about it, and soon the two parted halfway, when Lan Qi arrived at Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was chanting, and outside the Buddhist hall were several big palace maids waiting, and Su Mala was not in front of her. When I went around to the small kitchen, I saw that Mama was watching the fire to stew soup for the Empress Dowager, Lan Qi smelled that the soup was not very good, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of soup Mama stews, it is all a smell of medicine." ”

Mama said with a smile: "The stewed medicinal food, the master has not been willing to take tonic recently, and it is good to stew it in the soup and let her take some tonic, but she is willing to drink this soup." ”

"With such a big smell of medicine, the Queen Mother should be disgusted again." Lan Qi joked, saying that the Empress Dowager's side was almost ready, so Mama left someone to watch the fire and went to the Buddha Hall together.

Lan Qi has always known everything about Mama, and mentioned that she had just met Concubine Tong, saying that she didn't know the noble person Ping, but today she just said a few words, and she felt that it was very incompatible, and when she talked about Concubine Tong's complaints, she said to Mama: "The imperial concubine is stricter with Concubine Tong, but I'm afraid that the noble person will pick this one to bully her, and it is expected that she will not be able to do anything, let alone complain to her sister." ”

Mama smiled: "The master often tells the slave maid why the imperial concubine is so fierce to her sister, and then I thought, she may just look at the other sisters in the palace who enter the palace together, for fear that she and her sister will also take the old road, so they will make such a difference." But after all, it's a sister, so you can't just ask, it's like this. ”

Lan Qi thinks about it, no matter whether the imperial concubine herself thinks of these or not, at least in the past few years, depending on her attitude towards Concubine Tong, because she has been repeatedly blamed by her own sister, the people in the palace have not gossiped about the sisters, even if the emperor treats Concubine Tong well, no one excludes her, and she feels that she is always suppressed by her own sister and cannot become a climate.

After the Empress Dowager finished her ceremony, Lan Qi accompanied her to take a walk in the courtyard to loosen her muscles, and only then did she discuss with her grandmother and tell the Empress Dowager about it, although she felt that it was not easy to interfere, after all, it was arranged by the Empress Dowager at the earliest, and it was not easy to refute the face of the Empress Dowager, but she didn't want to watch the noble people bully Concubine Tong, with the two of them, Concubine Tong was not swallowed alive by life.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she smiled and said: "How can these sisters, who have not been in contact with each other for many years, have the same temperament when they are in the palace and the other at home." You see Yinzhen and Yinzuo, who came out of the same mother's womb, have different temperaments, nothing unusual. ”

Lan Qi said with a smile: "When the eldest mother brought the sister of the concubine into the palace, she is a lively little girl with a big grin, and she is very different from the concubine. ”

"So, I didn't expect this little Hesheri to be as gentle and generous as the queen, the queen was young but very sensible, Xuan Ye didn't pay much attention to this marriage earlier, he only knew that it was his responsibility to have a queen as an emperor, and it wasn't until after marriage that the queen was kind and quiet and knowledgeable, so he slowly moved him. Didn't Concubine Wen Guifei be in a hurry to dissociate herself from her family earlier, and didn't want to be bound by them? But what did she toss over the years, and what is happening now? Queen Hesheri is different, people are not at the mercy of the family, but there is nothing ridiculous, such a person who knows cold and hot is by her side, and the heart of steel will be melted. ”

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, and asked Lan Qi: "I said the queen so well, you don't want to eat the queen's vinegar, right?" ”

Lan Qi said unconvinced: "In your heart, the concubine is so careful? ”

Jokes don't have to be taken seriously, the Empress Dowager gave Lan Qi and Su Mala an idea, but if it didn't work out and it depended on how that person behaved, she actually asked Qin Tianjian to draw up another name, lifted Concubine Wen's grounding, and reopened the door of Xianfu Palace.

The Empress Dowager said: "Don't the noble people of Ping look down on this and that low-born? Then let her see what the noble situation is, but although the access control of Xianfu Palace has been lifted, she still sent someone to watch her movements carefully, I don't care if she lives or dies, just don't let her get close to the emperor. ”

But the door of Xianfu Palace, Lan Qi will never walk in again, that is, in the future, the elder brothers will grow up, and she also hopes that her sons will not get too close to the tenth elder brother, she is not a Buddha, and there is no room for people in her heart, for Wen Guifei, there is no room for turnaround.

Two days later, Qin Tianjian said that the sun, moon and stars had changed, and there would be no more danger of Chongke, so the Queen Mother issued an order to remove the curfew of Xianfu Palace and encourage the concubines to visit and accompany the concubine to have a baby. And the emperor also spent the days of the ban, under the conditioning of the imperial doctor, he has fully recovered, and gradually began to favor the newcomers, and the internal affairs office has also made a green card, but the new ones have already gone around the Qianqing Palace, that is, there is nothing to do with the nobles of the Chu Xiu Palace, and the nobles who regard themselves quite highly, how can they keep this grievance.

The big palace maid next to Concubine Tong is called Yuzhi, on this day she came back from Ningshou Palace, and saw Yuzhi kneeling in the courtyard, and the little palace maid hurriedly came to complain, saying that the Ping nobles punished Yuzhi for kneeling, just for a few basins of hot water, nothing important, people said that it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the Ping nobles did this, completely ignoring Tong Concubine.

"Get up, for my sake, don't be wronged." Concubine Tong didn't want to run to find the Ping Guiren theory, let her people get up, and pull her back to rest, Yuzhi said: "The slave is nothing, now the Ping Guiren is just bullying the slave and the maid, how can you be bullied in the future?" What's more, isn't it also for you to toss the minions right now? ”

Concubine Tong sighed and didn't want to say anything, but unexpectedly, the noble man was coming from the matching hall, and when she heard this, she said sourly: "The people around my sister are powerful, I don't count if I neglect my sister behind my back, and I also instigated our sisterhood in person, how many years have we known each other, is my sister going to believe in this cheap maid, and she wants to misunderstand me?" ”

Concubine Tong thought to herself what kind of acquaintance they had, but when they were still girls at home, they had met once or twice between the mansions, and they hadn't said much, so they knew each other? A perfunctory sentence wanted to calm things down, but the noble people did not give up, and they were willing to give up until Concubine Tong executed Yuzhi.

It was a stalemate, people from outside, people from Xianfu Palace came to invite, saying that the concubine Niangniang invited the sisters to drink tea, and they were busy with the fetus in the first month and did not entertain everyone well, and the newcomer had never seen it, and everyone happened to gather in the past.

Concubine Tong hurriedly agreed, let Yuzhi go to rest, and brought the palace maid to Xianfu Palace, it happened that the noble people were also very curious about the concubine and the legendary beautiful and incomparable Jue Chan clan, so they followed quickly, and when they got outside, it was naturally not good to talk about the trivial matters in the palace, so they kept silent.

Concubine Wen invited a lot of people, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui also appreciated their faces, Concubine Yi was inconvenient to move around, Concubine De was naturally not idle in Cining Palace, and several other concubines and concubines were also there, after all, the queen mother's will, let the concubines come to accompany the concubine more, they always have to make a show for the first time, and it is not too late to talk about it later.

In the late winter and early spring, everyone is a lot lighter, and new patterns are endless, but the ordinary nobles feel that she is all vulgar powder, and their eyes are looking for the Zen nobleman in the crowd. But the concubine and Concubine Rong were embarrassed to ask each other, and they were unhappy, and they heard someone say: "How can you work your noble sister to serve tea." ”

I saw that a few people who sat at the end of the promise were often getting up, and a beautiful woman brought the palace maid to serve tea, her slender posture came lightly, she fell generously between words and smiles, her skin was fair and ruddy, her eyes were bright but not demonic, Zhu Dan's red lips were as delicate as cherry blossoms, and her body was like a willow child.

I think she has seen countless nobles and daughters when she was at home, and she thinks that she is unparalleled in beauty, and she also scoffs at the legend of the Juezen clan in the palace.

"Because it is a new tea, the concubines are afraid that the servants will not be able to do well, so they have spent some effort, and they invite the ladies to taste it, if they don't eat, they will only blame the concubines for being clumsy." Jue Chan smiled calmly, instructed the palace maids to serve tea for all the ladies and ladies, sat aside by himself, and inadvertently fell his eyes on the noble people, but nodded politely, and then stopped looking at others.

Ping Guiren touched his hair bun very unconvinced, thinking that she could see Juechan and marvel at her beauty, but no one looked at herself, as if her face had become a willow posture at the moment, and she felt that the people in front of her were arrogant and disgusted, and she knew that she was from a low background, so she was even more unconvinced.

When a palace maid came to serve tea, she stretched out her hand to tease them, but Concubine Hui was talking, so that she missed this opportunity, only to hear Concubine Hui say: "How long has it been since this year, Niangniang already has new tea here, and sure enough, the concubine does not dare to compare." ”

Concubine Wen sat down at the top, and when she heard such a compliment, she smiled nonchalantly: "It's just tea, it's not worth anything, if Concubine Hui likes it, I'll give you the rest, anyway, I can't drink tea now." ”

Concubine Hui was humble, and the other sisters also talked about jokes, talking about everything from all over the world, looking at it happily, in fact, the women were all in tune, and everyone had other thoughts in their stomachs. Concubine Tong sat on the side and always saw the Ping nobles staring at the Jue Chan clan, but the latter had no distractions, and was concentrating on the refreshments in the hall for fear of not taking good care of them, so she didn't meet the eyes of the Ping nobles at all.

After a long time, when the tea party was dispersed, Concubine Tong took a few steps slowly to let everyone go first, she and Juechan have always had a good relationship, so she naturally wanted to come to her to talk about the hidden worries in her heart, and reminded her with a sad face: "Pinggui has a strange temperament, no one in his eyes, I don't know if it will be targeted at you in the future, I live under one roof and can't avoid it, so you don't follow her way anymore." ”

There are few nobles who can speak in this palace, Tong Concubine is an exception, one thinks she is simple and pure, she is a person who can get along with her, and then she has the experience of Mulan paddock earlier, so they have been in contact with each other, even if this time Xianfu Palace has been closed for more than a month, they still passed through the palace maid eunuch to help Tong Concubine change a few embroidered appearances.

"The emperor has recently renovated people's signs, and they have turned around, but it's nothing to do with her, and she loses her temper at home every day, and I can't say anything about her. I'm only a few years old, no more than a few years older than her, and the imperial concubine always wants me to have the appearance of a palace master, but I know that I have no interest and can't help myself. The more Concubine Tong spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her eyes turned red, "I'd rather come here to live with you, if only I could get rid of her." These days, the emperor doesn't come to me, I still chant Buddha, if the emperor treats me better, won't she hate and poison me? ”

Jue Chan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that if Concubine Tong had her sister's momentum, she would not be bullied by Ping Guiren, how powerful her sister was back then, she almost died in her hands, but her sister was so weak, the difference between one day and one place.

Concubine Tong was afraid that she would go back late and toss the people in her palace again, so she said goodbye and wanted to leave, but repeatedly told Juechan: "Be careful, she is not easy to mess with, so you have a noble concubine to call the shots, don't go out and bump into her." But don't be afraid of her if you bump into her, you are all nobles, you are still older than her, and you gave birth to an eighth elder brother. ”

Jue Chan smiled bitterly in her heart, sighing that Concubine Tong had a good heart, but she had the heart to remind others, but she couldn't get up, she couldn't bear it in her heart, and couldn't help but help, and it could be seen that Ping Guifei and Wen Guifei were all the way, such people were paper tigers, so she didn't have to be really afraid, so she told her softly: "Niang Niang let me think about it, if there is a way to let Ping Guiren move away, you can breathe a sigh of relief." Anyway, we must not offend her, the wicked have their own wicked grinding. ”

Concubine Tong also knew that Juechan was smart, and she couldn't bear to involve her, so she simply reminded her kindly, but she didn't expect Juechan to be so good, and thanked gratefully: "If I can let her move away, I really don't know how to thank you, even Concubine De let me endure it, I thought there was no hope." ”

Jue Chan asked rhetorically: "Concubine De also knows?" ”

Concubine Tong nodded helplessly: "The mother persuaded me to open more, saying that I only lived now, and it was the arrangement of the Queen Mother, if she could not be allowed to move out for a decent reason, it would embarrass the Queen Mother." I know this is the truth, otherwise my sister would not have watched me being bullied, but what can be the reason for decency, should the emperor give her a concubine and go elsewhere to be the head of the first palace? But in that case, wouldn't her arrogance be even more arrogant? ”

When she said this, Xianghe said that the concubine Niangniang was looking for a nobleman, and Juechan couldn't delay, so he sent Concubine Tong out all the way, and whispered to her: "The reason for decency is difficult to achieve, but the worst reason is easy, which not only refutes the face of the queen mother, but also makes her have to move out, you let the concubine think about it." But this matter is to Concubine De, and you can't mention it. ”

Concubine Tong agreed again and again, and said goodbye to her gratefully, Jue Chan came to the main hall again, and saw the concubine in a daze when she entered the door, and when she got close to her, the concubine came back to her senses and sneered: "I thought I had been locked up here for so long, and the outside was going to change, but even if a newcomer came, why was it still the same?" ”

said for a long time, but only a little more than a month, where can it change, Jue Chan felt that the harem had not changed much in more than ten years, and he didn't know what Concubine Wen was looking forward to, but I heard her say: "Have you seen the newcomer?" That noble person is really good-looking, except for you, I haven't seen a dazzling appearance in the palace for a long time, but she is still so young, this flower can bloom for a long time. ”

Jue Chan looked at the concubine, and suddenly thought about it, although the concubine is not a wicked person, but she and the noble people can be regarded all the way, and it just so happens that the resentment in front of him has nowhere to vent, wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone.
