Concubine Wen pointed to the soup and motioned to Dong Yunsheng soup, and asked Lan Qi very indifferently: "What do you want me to care?" Guan Juechan gave birth to a child, or did Guo Guiren hurt her? ”

Instead, Lan Qi was speechless, and Concubine Wen continued: "I can't give birth to a child for the Juechan clan, and Guo Guiren's affairs, aren't the concubines Rong in charge?" I am a rich idler, where do I understand these ways. De Concubine, are you not hungry? ”

"The concubine has accompanied the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, thank you Niangniang." Lan Qi said politely, and didn't say anything else, Concubine Wen's attitude couldn't be clearer, people just didn't care.

Dong Yun came over with a cup of soup, put it in front of Lan Qi and said, "The astragalus black chicken is stewed, and the concubine Niangniang has some of it." ”

Concubine Wen smiled on the side, "I don't want to come to the door if you come, it's rare to come, let's take a sip of soup, our Dongyun's craftsmanship is no worse than Huanchun, you can taste it." Saying that, she personally grabbed a chopstick and soaked her in the soup, and said in a good mood, "Finally someone came to eat with me, I was fine in the palace, so I studied meals with Dongyun, there is nothing else in Xianfu Palace, and there are many dishes in the imperial dining room, but unfortunately there is no one to drink, I always eat alone, which is boring." ”

Lan Qi soaked the chopsticks in the soup and sent it into the mouth, it was smooth and tender, and it was indeed a delicate and delicious dish, most of the dishes in the imperial dining room were superficial, and what was not good was not necessarily delicious, and what was not delicious could not be done, even Xuan Ye often had to come to Yonghe Palace to eat, even if Huanchun made a pot of vegetable porridge for Yinzuo to eat, he felt fragrant. If you want to come to a dish in the imperial dining room, he doesn't dare to innovate, he has eaten it for twenty years, and as Concubine Wen said, there is no one to drink, and it is always boring to eat alone.

"You must be thinking in your heart, Long Live Lord often comes to Xianfu Palace, Dong Yun and I make these beautiful and delicious things in order to keep Long Live Lord, right?" Concubine Wen drank a cup of soup by herself, I don't know if she was uncomfortable and uncomfortable, she curled up cross-legged on the chair without any manners, and said with a smile, "Long live the Lord who doesn't come to Xianfu Palace for dinner, at most he occasionally eats supper, eats some yellow rice porridge and drinks a bowl of hot milk, where have you seen what I eat on the dinner table." ”

The little palace maid had already sent a hand stove, Concubine Wen frowned and stuffed it into her arms, and said with a sigh: "I am very impatient, thinking that Juechan must not give birth in the next few days, she still gave birth." Saying that, he shouted Dongyun, "Go and ask, are you alive?" ”

Lan Qi only knew that Concubine Wen was in the moon, no wonder the palace was stewed with black chicken soup, think about the days in the Xianfu Palace, although Concubine Wen has been shouting and boring, but she also had a good taste and was very exquisite, she quietly drank a few sips of soup, and after a while, Dongyun came back to her life: "Wen Po said it's still early, I'm afraid it's going to be midnight." ”

Concubine Wen said lazily: "Then I'll go and rest, and call me when the child comes out." She got up and held her waist and smiled apologetically at Lan Qi, "You can sit by yourself, I really can't sit still, my back is very sore." ”

Lan Qi left her seat, and watched Concubine Wen go to the inner hall slowly, leaving a table of dishes, and a palace maid came to ask her if she still needed it, Dongyun came out quickly, and politely beckoned Lan Qi to sit and wait in the warm pavilion, while apologizing for her master: "Niangniang, she is lazy for a few days a month, don't be surprised by Concubine Niangniang." ”

"I'm not surprised, I'm just wondering if I should wait for Juezen to go back after birth, or leave now." Lan Qi smiled, "I can't do anything if I stay." ”

Dong Yun smiled: "Slave maid, please stay, Concubine Wen Niangniang, she doesn't care about other people's affairs, in fact, Juechan often lives here as if she doesn't live, the two have never had any contact, but when they go outside in front of the palace Niangniang, the master seems to take care of her, and she doesn't even say a word on weekdays, and she doesn't even look at her for a few days." ”

Lan Qi thought to herself, these two people have strong personalities, and it is estimated that they feel that they are not suitable for each other to be close to each other, so there is nothing wrong with getting along with Ansheng, just thinking about it, a little palace maid came to find Dong Yun, Dong Yun frowned slightly when she heard this, turned to De Concubine and smiled: "Can Niang Niang move?" The master said that he would like to invite you to go to the inner sanctum to speak. ”

Lan Qi was full of desire to leave, but was called by Concubine Wen to speak, and reluctantly entered the inner hall, and saw that she was crooked on the kang, lazy and casual, not at all what a concubine should look like to outsiders, but people smiled happily and motioned for Lan Qi to sit down.

"They said you don't eat, I think it's not good to leave you outside, there is no reason to treat guests like this, so I invite you to come in and talk, do you want to have tea?" Concubine Wen said as she pushed the candied fruit on the kang table to her, "You can be casual." ”

But how dare Lan Qi be casual, she was already uncomfortable sitting all over, and heard Concubine Wen say: "In the first month, has anyone from your mother's family entered the palace?" Seeing that she shook her head, she continued, "My mother's family doesn't come either, guess why?" ”

"The concubine is stupid." Lan Qi reluctantly said these words.

Concubine Wen sat up slightly, wanting to be closer to Lan Qi, and said excitedly and proudly: "Alinga has been hurt by me, they can no longer calculate what to do with me in the palace, probably in the future, they will not even care about whether I live or die, unless they are downcast to the point of last resort, otherwise they will be the daughter of Niu Hulu's family without me, it is really happy to think about it." ”

Lan Qi was shocked when she heard it, but Concubine Wen was full of smiles, she was always so unpredictable, and continued, "Just because I repeatedly said that they are still entangled, so no matter what happened last year, as soon as they came to me, I went to Tong Guifei for trouble, Tong Guifei was so angry with me every time that she spoke ill of me, and if she was in a hurry, she would naturally alarm her family. ”

Lan Qi was stunned when she heard this, "Niangniang, are you doing this?" ”

Concubine Wen smiled: "My sister asked you to take care of me, she must have said a lot of reluctant words, after three years, I can finally live for myself." No matter what people outside think of me, my own heart is open and free, which can be regarded as fulfilling my sister's regrets and wishes, and I will not live up to my future experience. ”

Lan Qi was full of emotion when she heard this, as if her mustard for Concubine Wen was gradually disappearing, and she heard her say: "You can also rest assured, you don't have to bear my sister's dying instructions, after entering the palace for many years, I have coldly watched all kinds of people rise and fall, and I understand everything." ”

Lan Qi was really relieved, and said with her head bowed: "The mother is fine, the queen must be relieved to have a spirit in the sky." ”

Concubine Wen smiled leisurely, "Xianfu Palace seems to specialize in people like me, I don't have much contact with the Juechan clan, but when she came, I asked her if she was tired of moving around like this, she said it didn't matter, anyway, no matter how toss in the palace, she couldn't get out of the four walls of the Forbidden City, although she was very boring, but it made sense, I like to hear it." ”

"yes." Lan Qi replied softly.

Fang Cai Dongyun said that Concubine Wen and Juechan don't have much contact, and now she herself doesn't have much contact, Lan Qi didn't believe it very much, but seeing Concubine Wen keep saying so many things to herself, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she really felt that she usually had no one to talk to, so she grabbed herself and confided, as if she wanted to say everything she had saved for a long time, she said it happily, and the whole person looked more energetic.

But Lan Qi has an indescribable feeling in her heart, people seem to really want to get along with her, but she refuses to be thousands of miles away, speaking from her heart, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with Concubine Wen, but Concubine Wen's enthusiasm is undiminished, such a person is sophisticated, how to face it?

Concubine Wen didn't know what the people in front of her were thinking, and she still chattered about the trivial things on weekdays as a joke, Lan Qi reluctantly agreed, and they chatted back and forth, and when they were really short of words, Dongyun finally came to the rescue, saying that Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui had returned from Cining Palace.

The two soon entered the inner hall, Concubine Wen asked them to sit too, but Concubine Hui said: "The concubines don't sit, they have to go to Ningshou Palace to resume their lives, the Empress Dowager will hand over this matter to the Empress Dowager, it is getting darker and darker, and you can't delay going to Ningshou Palace, just because you are still waiting for Juechan to give birth, you must come and see it again, Niangniang has worked hard." ”

Concubine Wen smiled: "I'm not hard, and it's not me who gives birth to a child, but you don't have to go to Ningshou Palace to talk back, I have to chat with Concubine De here, and the Juechan clan is too busy there, why don't you leave one and take care of it for me?" ”

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong looked at each other, they were both at the age of Queen Niu Hulu, looking at Concubine Wen was like looking at a little girl, sure enough, people were careful and weird, when can't they chat and gossip, do you have to be at this juncture? Looking at the concubine on the side, she was also helpless, and Concubine Rong agreed: "The concubine stays, and the affairs of Guo Guiren will be taken care of by Concubine Hui." ”

In this way, Concubine Hui left in a hurry, but Lan Qi didn't want to "chat" anymore, so she insisted on following Concubine Rong and said, "My sister and I went over to take a look." After escaping from the inner hall without saying anything, Concubine Rong laughed at her, "What's wrong?" It's like a tiger's den and a wolf's den. ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "Concubine Wen is too good to say, I really can't keep up." ”

When Concubine Rong saw this opportunity, she simply said to her: "Guo Guiren's matter, let Concubine Hui deal with it, involving Yikun Palace, their sisters can't get it right, it's not interesting for us to intervene, the Queen Mother can't talk about being angry, just the word 'whatever', you say so many years, when will the old man live casually?" ”

Lan Qi didn't speak, and Concubine Rong said again: "Yi Concubine's thoughts, those who know know know, and those who don't know don't dare to think about it, let Concubine Hui restrain it, it's good for everyone, don't feel uncomfortable in your heart." ”

"I don't feel uncomfortable, I just wonder if Guo Guiren will pounce if I don't walk away, I knew that this was the case, I would have accompanied Jue Chan to walk a few steps." Lan Qi sighed, "What if something goes wrong with the mother and son?" ”

"The two places are so close, the people in Yikun Palace are a little careless, and Guo Guiren can go out." Concubine Rong said with deep meaning, and said coldly, "Even if you pay attention to let her out, it's not strange, who knew that you would fight here, and it was her luck to meet you, if she didn't meet you, she was punched and kicked by crazy people, and her life was unknown." ”

Lan Qi shuddered, looked at Concubine Rong blankly, and she smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing is too common in the deep palace, but who called the Juechan clan so beautiful?" ”

"What do you say?" Concubine Wen Linlang broke the embarrassment between the two, she actually chased Lan Qi out again, and complained in her mouth, "How good it is to go in and talk, it's so cold outside." Just as he was stretching out his hand to pull Lanqi, a palace maid ran over there and said, "Juezen is about to give birth, saying that the child's head has come out." ”

The three of them hurried to wait outside the delivery room, and the Shen chant of the Jue Chan clan was high and low, Rong Concubine and Lan Qi had experienced the pain of birth, and they didn't feel anything, but Concubine Wen was shouted so that her heart trembled, and she turned around and pulled Dong Yun away, but she just walked to the door of the main hall, and the baby's cry came out of the house, and the cry shook the sky, Lan Qi thought that it should be a son, and sure enough, a palace maid came out to say: "Jue Chan Chang gave birth to a little brother, and now the mother and son are safe." ”

Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Concubine Rong say to herself very lightly: "She is finally blessed." ”

It was also at this time that Gonggong Li came from the Qianqing Palace, saying that there were ministers who couldn't leave him before, and the emperor already knew about it, so he sent him to take a look, and it was just the right time to come, the child landed earlier than expected, and Gonggong Li was going back to resume his life, Concubine Rong called him and told him about Guo Guiren, and Manager Li smiled meaningfully: "Jue Chan is always there since the mother and son are safe, Guo Guiren is there...... Mother, what do you say? ”

But I only heard Concubine Wen shouting: "Sister Rong, you come to help me, they want to send the child to me, how to get it?" ”

In this way, Juechan's sudden birth was not too messy, and now she wanted to send the newborn baby to Concubine Wen, but she was in a hurry, waiting for Concubine Rong and the nursing mothers to serve the child decently, she dared to approach the cradle, and muttered: "This child is the eighth elder brother, it's so good...... My sister wanted me to give birth to a baby for her, but I couldn't. ”

Lan Qi and Concubine Rong glanced at each other, both said goodbye to leave, Concubine Wen said what should they do if they left the child, the two pushed the nurse and the grandmother palace maid in front of her, and insisted on leaving, but Concubine Wen sent it to the door, as if reluctantly said to Lan Qi: "Eighth elder brother, are you coming to the full moon?" ”

Waiting until she walked out of the door of Xianfu Palace, Lan Qi was relieved, and Concubine Rong was also tired from being tossed by Concubine Wen, and when she wanted to separate, she joked: "Concubine Wen is very close to you." ”

Lan Qi confessed: "It's still the love that the queen got along with before her death, but I don't dare to climb high." ”

Concubine Rong smiled: "Why don't you climb high?" It's hard to be alone in this palace, you have to get rid of the relationship with people, but you have become a wood show in the forest, you have studied, you know what the second half of the sentence is, right? “

Lan Qi was silent, Concubine Rong didn't say anything more, and when she returned to Yonghe Palace tiredly, she was so tired that she couldn't move on the kang, obviously her ears were clear, but Concubine Wen's words were still lingering, and she was even more determined not to deal with Xianfu Palace.

After being crooked for half an hour, he got up and wanted to call Huanchun to prepare for a bath, but Xiangyue brought in a bowl of medicine and said with a smile: "Sister Huanchun is preparing, let the slave maid send the medicine first." ”

"What medicine?" Lan Qi smelled that the smell was not bad, Xiangyue put it down, she leaned in and smelled it, the jujube was fragrant and honeyy, only to hear Xiangyue say, "When you were napping, Gonggong Li led the people from the Tai Hospital to come, saying that Long Live Lord let go of the calming decoction, saying that you are frightened and affected tonight, let you go to bed early after taking the medicine, and don't go out tomorrow, rest at home for two days, don't worry about things outside." The doctor said that this medicine was sweet, and the slave maid wanted to taste it, but Sister Huanchun didn't let it. ”

"Then you taste it, if it's sweet, I'll drink it." Lan Qi really pushed the medicine to Xiangyue, and the little girl laughed, "Sister Huanchun knows, it's time to scold the slave again, master, hurry up and drink it, the hot water over there is ready." ”

Lan Qi frowned and drank the medicine, although it was sweet, it was still medicine after all, so she wiped her mouth and got up to take a bath, there was a sudden commotion in front of the palace gate, and the door of Yonghe Palace was closed with a bang, and the little eunuch in front of the door ran to say that there were guards guarding the palace gate, so that the door could not be opened at will.

"What's wrong?" Lan Qi's heart was tight, and she subconsciously went to Yinzuo's house, and the little eunuch followed, "The eldest brother of the guard didn't say anything, the slave saw that there were also people guarding the gate of Chengqian's Palace, I was afraid that there were people in the palace, and the guards who caught the former guards probably wouldn't leave." ”

"Could it be Guo Guiren?" This thought popped up in her heart, Lan Qi couldn't help but tremble, just when she saw that crazy woman, it was very terrifying, but wasn't it Rong Concubine's people who imprisoned her, how could she run out?

But no matter what Lan Qi imagined, how could she know what was going on outside when she sat in Yonghe Palace, such a big movement, all palaces and courtyards were guarded by guards, and they waited for two hours before they withdrew, but no one knew what happened outside, although the guards withdrew, Ningshou Palace had a will to tell the six palaces, no one was allowed to go out again tonight, everything was discussed again in the morning, Lan Qi kept holding Yinzuo, saying that he would guard his son tonight.

At this moment, in front of the door of the Qianqing Palace, a soft sedan chair quietly stopped, Hui Concubine was picked up, when he entered the door, he saw several guards coming out, they avoided to the side and let Hui Concubine go first, the eunuch led Hui Concubine to the study, the night was deep, the emperor sat behind the table, the candlelight swayed in his face, Hui Concubine curtsied, only to hear the emperor's deep voice said: "Yikun Palace, you know it in your heart." ”

Concubine Hui tightened, gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine...... I don't understand what the emperor means. ”

"I know you know in your heart." Xuan Ye sat behind the table, he couldn't see his joy or anger, he didn't even look at the people on the ground, he said quietly, "The Queen Mother doesn't kill, this matter wants you to be executed, I will give you a favor, from now on, you will look at Yikun Palace for me." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"You're the smartest person, I don't need to explain what I mean." Xuan Ye casually flipped through a notebook, dipped the pen in ink in one hand, and then didn't know what he wrote, and said slowly, "I have high expectations for the eldest brother, you are her mother-in-law, don't do anything that will make him bear the sin, but since you have stretched out your hand, I can't act as if nothing has happened, then I will atone for my sins, and in the harem in the future, you can only do what I asked you to do, if you can't have a tacit understanding with me, the eldest brother will have no one to protect him, and he will only be an adult in more than ten years, can you rest assured?" ”
