210 The Struggle for the Son

"Even if someone wants to calculate me, it's too fast and blatant, why not?" Lan Qi didn't care very much, she looked at the candy happily, and muttered that it should be the emperor who used it to coax her to take medicine, but she doesn't like to eat sweet food recently, and she only likes to contain a sour plum after taking medicine.

In the days that followed, the emperor was not in the palace, the six palaces were calm and tranquil, the women had no goal to compete for, and they were too lazy to bother thinking about it, and it was no better than the emperor in the old years who led a few noble and favored people to live outside.

Yonghe Palace because Lan Qi's body is getting better, Concubine Rong often comes to accompany her to relieve her boredom, this day inadvertently mentioned, said that Wen Guifei was out of confinement, and this morning together in Ningshou Palace to see when they asked for peace, changed the warm and lively appearance of the past, the whole person was quiet and dull, the Queen Mother said a few words to her, she just nodded and agreed, almost did not open her mouth. The imperial doctor said that Concubine Wen's hysteria had been cured, and she only needed to recuperate quietly in the days to come, and she didn't take much medicine.

Lan Qi didn't say anything when she listened, but Bu Guiren reminded her worriedly: "I wrestled that day, you kept the child, but the concubine Niangniang was good but didn't keep it, she didn't know how to be jealous in her heart, you let Huanchun keep the door of Yonghe Palace tight, don't let her come to you for trouble." ”

Duan Concubine also said: "Concubine Wen has a strange temperament, and I don't feel at ease, if we don't always want to accompany you, it is better to go back to the Empress Dowager and issue an order that no one is allowed to bother you, maybe one day Concubine Wen will come over and hurt you." ”

"If she hurts Lan Qi, don't think about living herself, the emperor will hate her to death, and she cares so much about the emperor." Concubine Rong said, reassuring Lan Qi even more, "Don't be afraid, she won't come to harm you and cut off her own way back." ”

"I also think so, Concubine Wen cares about the emperor the most, and now she should be more correct in her words and deeds, what's the point of pestering me." Lan Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It's always pitiful to have no children, and it will take a while for her to recover." ”

Everyone saw that Lan Qi was calm, and they didn't say anything to scare her, a few of them sat with them idle, and occasionally someone in the palace came to ask Concubine Rong, Lan Qi watched Concubine Rong deal with it, Concubine Rong also understood Lan Qi's future in her heart, and taught her some from time to time, but also joked: "Don't work too hard, what matters is your body, otherwise you will be hurt for these trivial things, and the emperor will come back and dismantle my Jingyang Palace." ”

What the sisters said to each other was just a few words of laughter, and no one would take it seriously.

At the end of February, the holy driver was ready to set off from Jingshan to the east, this day Concubine Hui took the eighth elder brother to Yikun Palace, just because she didn't see Concubine Yi go out for several days, and thought she was not in good health. ”

The eighth elder brother in his arms was taken aback, and saw that the nanny inside led Princess Kejing out in a hurry, and saw that Concubine Hui was not embarrassed, Concubine Hui simply asked the nurse to hold the eighth elder brother together to play with Kejing, and went inside alone, and saw that Concubine Yi was leaning her neck and didn't know what to drink.

Concubine Hui asked with concern, "Is it really sick?" What kind of medicine is this? ”

Concubine Yi took the medicine, pointed her finger and said, "Sister sit down." ”

Concubine Hui saw that she didn't answer, so she asked Taohong, and Taohong said embarrassedly: "It's a tonic for the fetus." ”

"What are you doing in a daze, serving tea to your sister?" Concubine Yi glanced at Taohong, as if she was annoyed by her mouth, but she heard Concubine Hui say with a smile, "What are you embarrassed about me, why is it bad to take fetal pills?" Chengqian Palace also eats fetal pills, which woman in the harem doesn't want to give birth to an heir? ”

Concubine Yi said: "This morning, I changed to another doctor, and I repeatedly said that I was not pregnant." As he spoke, he was anxious, pushed away the things on the table and said hatefully, "Why can't I get pregnant?" ”

"The emperor is often here with you in the first month, and before going out in February, I have looked at the internal affairs office several times, and I also hope that you have good news, but this matter cannot be rushed." Concubine Hui understood her anxiety and persuaded her, "After all, you haven't served for a few days, and you will have it now, and when the emperor comes back, won't he leave you down again?" At present, this may not be a good thing, the important thing is to keep the emperor's heart first, the emperor has been out for a few months, although there will always be someone to serve on the road, but no matter whether he brings it back or not, he will always miss home. When the emperor comes back to Yonghe Palace and is not born, Concubine Wen still doesn't know if she can be forgiven, the emperor can't be with the imperial concubine every day, isn't it your good thing? ”

Concubine Yi smiled bitterly: "I always feel that I am eating the rest of others, just this life, can I still have it?" ”

Concubine Hui approached her and asked, "What I taught you, can you make the emperor happy?" ”

"Sister......" Concubine Yi blushed and said abruptly, "The emperor likes it very much, it is indeed much better than before, I don't understand it very well, and I always blame the emperor for not liking me, I really want to thank you." ”

"Thank me for what I did, I will give birth to a little brother in the future, just give me more hugs." Concubine Hui smiled with a smile on her face, and told her in a low voice, "As soon as the tent is pulled, what else is the dignity of the emperor and concubine, it is a matter of men and women." Don't you often say that if Wu Yashi doesn't have some foxy kung fu, how can he coax the emperor to like her so much? Judging from her temperament, she may not be able to serve the emperor at night, she may only treat the emperor as a husband and a man, do you think that Long Live Lord likes to be the emperor so much, and he has been doing it for more than 20 years, and he is not bored and numb. At that point, you have to know what he wants. ”

Concubine Yi's neck was already red, and she pushed Concubine Hui and said, "Talking about this in broad daylight, my sister is really messing around." ”

"What nonsense?" Concubine Hui said, "You don't have to keep the emperor, when the emperor returns to the palace, the new show girl will enter the palace, and when the time comes, there will be a new person in the palace after ten days." Are you a concubine or a concubine, and you can't lose to those little promises? ”

Concubine Yi's face was gloomy when she said this, she almost forgot that she was going to draft again, and now she felt that it was not appropriate to be pregnant at this moment, otherwise in the next half a year, she would let those new goblins flatter the emperor.

And at this moment, there are people who have not been seen for a long time near Cining Palace, Lan Qi heard that the Empress Dowager has a bad appetite for a few days and is very worried, so she wants to come and take a look, the warm sedan chair is here, but it is blocked by Wen Guifei and her party in front, Huan Chun, who is accompanying her, is worried that Wen Guifei will stop her master from talking, but Dongyun came over and said to her: "Niangniang let Concubine De Niangniang go first." ”

Huan Chun heard the words and immediately let the warm sedan chair go first, and Lan Qi in the sedan chair did not mean to stay and speak, the two sedan chairs passed by, she lifted the curtain slightly to look out, and saw that Wen Guifei also lifted the curtain, but the two looked at each other, and the people over there put down the curtain in a hurry, as if they were deliberately avoiding her. Although Lan Qi is strange, she doesn't want to think about it too much, and if she thinks too much, she is asking for trouble, why should she care about how others live.

After that, Concubine De and her entourage went to Cining Palace, and Concubine Wen's warm sedan chair went to Yikun Palace, she also came out of front of Changchun Palace, originally to find Concubine Hui, but I heard that Concubine Hui went to Concubine Yi, at this time the sisters in the house were talking, and Taohong ran in and said: "Concubine Niangniang has arrived." ”

Concubine Yi said curiously: "Which concubine, the imperial concubine?" ”

Taohong came up to dress her up and said, "It's Concubine Wen, she has already entered the door, but she is here to find Concubine Hui." ”

Concubine Hui was not surprised: "Looking for me?" ”

The two hurriedly went out, and Concubine Yi whispered in her ear: "Is it for the eighth elder brother, if she asks you to go back, how will you deal with her?" ”

But without waiting for Concubine Hui to answer, Concubine Wen Guifei had already walked in, and when she saw the two saluting, she asked directly, "Is Eighth Brother here?" ”

"The eighth elder brother is playing with Princess Kejing, and the concubine asked the nurse to bring her to say goodbye to the mother." Concubine Hui settled down, turned around and called Baoyun, "Go and bring the princess and brother over." ”

But Concubine Wen said: "No need, just go and hug the eighth elder brother in the palace." He pointed to the peach and asked, "In which room will you take the main palace?" ”

When Concubine Hui saw her like this, she was going to take the child away directly, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said: "Why do you need to work Niangniang, just let the palace maid hug it, Niangniang, you are seated, Sister Yifei's tea here is excellent, you can also taste it?" ”

Concubine Wen glanced at her coldly, turned her face a little and said: "The emperor often says that the tea in Xianfu Palace is superior, and there is not only good tea in this palace, but also good water, how can you like the tea in Yikun Palace?" Since Concubine Hui likes to drink tea, this palace will reward you with some, after all, you have worked hard to take care of Eighth Brother for more than a month. ”

Concubine Hui sighed in her heart, and asked with a forced smile: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"This palace wants to take the eighth elder brother back to Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Hui doesn't have to worry about it in the future." Wen Guifei said this, quickly bypassed Concubine Hui and walked out, scolded the palace maid outside the door and said, "Where is the eighth elder brother?" ”

Concubine Yi was anxious to watch from the side, but she didn't dare to offend Concubine Wen, so she hurriedly came up and pushed Concubine Hui and said, "Sister, she really went to hold the child." ”

Concubine Hui was so angry that her face turned purple, she turned around and ran out to block the way of the concubine, no matter what kind of dignity she had, relying on her seniority, she said sharply: "The concubine Niangniang is not sick for a long time and does not know the things in the palace, the emperor has a will, and the eighth elder brother will be raised in Changchun Palace in the future, it doesn't matter if the concubine Niangniang wants to hug the child and play, but you want to take it back to Xianfu Palace, and please go and ask for the will of the saint." ”

"Get out of the way." Concubine Wen Guifei spoke in a low tone, and glared straight at Concubine Hui, "You have been in the palace for so many years, and you still have to teach the rules of humility and inferiority in this palace?" ”

Concubine Hui was not afraid: "The concubine just knows the rules of respect and inferiority, so she doesn't dare to disobey the holy decree, you want to take away the eighth elder brother, there is the emperor's will, and the concubine will never stop it." ”

The words fell, but seeing Concubine Wen raise her hand and wave her palm, there was a muffled sound of flesh and skin, Concubine Hui was slapped on the face, and everyone around was stunned, and Concubine Hui had never suffered such humiliation since she entered the palace for more than ten years, she covered her face with one hand, her scarlet eyes were full of hatred, and she glared at Concubine Wen and said, "Niangniang...... Do you have to protest? ”

When there was a commotion in the Yikun Palace, Lan Qi had been sitting in Cining Palace for a while, and the Empress Dowager was angry at her for not knowing what to do, but people said that she was panicked, and she was worried that she had a bad appetite, an old man and a young man had not spoken like this for a long time, and the Empress Dowager was very happy with a smile, but there was something that did not stop, and after listening to the story in the Yikun Palace, Su Mala came in with a frown and said: "Master, the concubine is going to rob the eighth elder brother back, does this matter require the Queen Mother to come forward?" ”
