"Your Majesty, it's time to go in." Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye was holding herself and didn't move, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the side all turned around to avoid it, she also felt embarrassed, and she was delicate and soft, so she called Xuan Ye back to her senses, hugged her horizontally, and took her back to the inner hall and put it on the kang, but when she smelled the smell of medicine in the room, she frowned again, "Why are you taking medicine?" Not feeling well?

"It's not to eat, it's just to add some medicinal materials to the incense burner and smell it to calm the nerves, the concubines are very happy these days, the imperial doctor is very methodical, the empress dowager can't smell the tonics, but these smells, it's much better." Lan Qi said with a smile, and Xuan Ye had already covered her stomach with a warm big hand, and asked curiously, "Why hasn't there been any change, when will it get bigger?" ”

Lan Qi took his hand and held it on his waist, Xuan Ye's brows moved slightly, and he laughed: "There is finally some meat here." ”

"Several meals a day, I don't move after eating, it's strange if I don't grow long." Lan Qi was held in Xuan Ye's arms, so she pressed it to his chest and said, "Mama said that pregnancy will become fat and ugly later, and some people can't go back after giving birth, if the concubine becomes ugly after giving birth, will the emperor dislike it?" ”

After saying that, his cheek and neck were gently kissed, only to hear Xuan Ye smile and say, "How beautiful do you think you are?" You don't dislike being ugly now, you're used to it for a long time. ”

Lan Qi pouted and looked at the emperor coquettishly, her coquettish appearance was very cute, Xuan Ye couldn't help but kiss her red lips, Lan Qi gently pushed the emperor: "The emperor is not allowed to mess around." ”

Xuan Ye also has self-control, but he hasn't touched her for more than two months, and now Xiangxiang is soft in his arms, it is inevitable that he will be moved, maybe in front of people, there will be a humane emperor ruthless, Empress Niu Hulu is mourned for more than a month, he only thinks about this little noble man who is about to give birth to him, but even if Empress Niu Hulu is alive, the emperor still only thinks about this little nobleman in his heart.

For the deceased, they both understand how much affection there is, because they know that her time is short, Xuan Ye tries his best to let her die well, many words are half sincere and half attentive, he can't love all the women in the harem, more favors or one night favor, love or righteousness, the difference is too big.

Since the queen's death, whether it is five days of dropping out of the dynasty, or moving to Zigong in person, to this day burning incense to pay tribute, as the emperor, he has something to do, he must let the world see, his "affection" for Queen Niu Hulu, must let the courtiers know that the Niu Hulu family will not be defeated, and the checks and balances of the power factions in the court are much more complicated than really loving to protect a woman.

"You can't go on a blind date for a year and a half, right?" Xuan Ye approached and hugged Lan Qi again, touched her waist slightly plump and liked it very much, and joked, "When this kid comes out, I will beat him a few times, so that I can't hold his mother for so long." ”

Lan Qi just smirked, and then the two sat and talked well, Huanchun brought refreshments, Xuan Ye praised her a few words, and asked Gonggong Li to reward a few of them, and saw that the furnishings in the hall were different from before, and asked her how to put away the pen and ink, the little nobleman touched his stomach and said that he was disgusted when he smelled ink, Xuan Ye laughed: "If it is a little brother, he is not good at studying, I am not spared, I blame his mother for being stupid and lazy." ”

Lan Qi ignored the emperor and looked down at her belly that had not yet bulged, but suddenly remembered that she was just a nobleman, and the child would be taken away after birth, or in the elder brother's house, or by which one of them, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour.

This matter has been entangled in her heart since she knew that she was pregnant, because she never said it to the public, she didn't dare to think about it, at this moment Xuan Ye was in front of him, he was so happy, Lan Qi knew that if she asked the emperor, Xuan Ye would definitely be able to promise her to raise the child by herself, but what Rong Concubine once said, she remembered that she couldn't let the emperor break the ancestral rules for a certain person, her own background was there, Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine gave birth to children and daughters, and it took more than ten years to be in the concubine position, if she was a maverick, not only the harem would have to be dissatisfied, I'm afraid that the previous dynasty will also intervene again.

You can't let Xuan Ye take on trouble for your own selfish desires, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui can also raise their children now, just wait.

"I plan to let the concubines move to Zhongcui Palace in a few days, anyway, your main hall here is still empty." Xuan Ye ate a snack, as if he had thought about it early in the morning, and said slowly, "You should also move out in two years, I have always kept Yonghe Palace for you, there is good feng shui, I want you to live in the future." ”

Lan Qi was surprised, the emperor's implication was that she would also be the master of the first palace in the future, and she actually understood that with the emperor's liking for her, she would not always be a noble person or always there, but she didn't want that, she used to be more indifferent, but now she will think about it, for the sake of the children, she should also gladly accept Xuan Ye's wishes.

"But the nobleman and the concubine ......" Lan Qi heard that she was going to leave this Zhongcui Palace in a few days, although the Yonghe Palace was in front of her, it was very close, it was not under one roof, and she couldn't let go of the relationship between her and the Bu Guiren for four or five years.

Xuan Ye smiled: "Why don't you listen to what I said before?" Didn't I say that I wanted to let the concubine live? ”

Lan Qi tilted her head and didn't understand, Xuan Ye gently tapped her forehead, scolded stupidity, and then smiled: "Where is Duan Jing now?" Duan Concubine came over, she naturally came with her, I can't let Bu Guiren also be the master, but in this way, Duan Jing will not be able to live with her mother? ”

"That's right." Lan Qi was overjoyed, she really didn't think about it, she looked at Xuan Ye gratefully for a while, thinking that this emperor, who was so busy that he had to squeeze out Chenguang to sleep and eat, would still think about such trivial things for her, and he always thought of her side, and took care of everything for her, and couldn't stand it, so he burst into tears.

"Fool, what are you crying about?" Xuan Ye scolded, reached out and twisted her cheeks, and smiled again, "It's that some flesh has come out, and it's very comfortable to twist it like this." ”

Lan Qi stretched out her hand to block Xuan Ye, rubbed her face, and muttered that she had been disgusted and ugly, and if she twisted it even uglier, she was held in her arms by Xuan Ye, and said with a warm breath: "You have become a withered old woman, I will still like it, and when I like you, you are just like that." ”

"Is the concubine really that ugly?"

"Hmm." Xuan Ye smiled, and said lazily, "I will be sleepy when I hold you and smell the breath on your body, probably because I am tired of running around these days, so I will accompany Xiaoxiao for a while." ”

Lan Qi responded, wanted to get up and pinched his legs and pounded his arms, but Xuan Ye didn't let her move, hugged her like a soft pillow, slowly closed her eyes to rest, and her steady breathing swept over her head, remembering every word he had just said, but no one mentioned the matter of Queen Niu Hulu.

Since the death of Empress Niu Hulu, it was the first time for the two to stay together alone like this, and the Empress Dowager had asked her what the queen said in the end, but Xuan Ye didn't even mention half a word, he didn't mention it, and Lan Qi naturally wouldn't say it. doesn't think that the emperor is a ruthless person because of this, she loves Xuan Ye, how can she hope that when Xuan Ye holds herself, she will still be sad for another woman.

Human nature, after all, is inevitably selfish.

Xuan Ye said that he was sleeping for a while, he really woke up after half an hour, kissed Lan Qi and said that he was leaving, because of the queen's funeral, many things in the court have been delayed so far, and things are not done more and more, even if they do one or two things, and when they are free in the future, they will come to accompany her again in some days.

Of course, Lan Qi doesn't care, she is already happier than many people, she is busy dressing Xuan Ye neatly, all the way to the door, and was told by the emperor to rest well, and said that she wants to tell the Sixth Palace that she is pregnant, and I am afraid that she will be sent to the trouble in the future, so let her bear some of it, after all, in the palace, there should be a lot of human affection.

Lan Qi listened to everything carefully and remembered, the emperor was always reluctant to let go, everything was carefully considered for her, and many things in her heart were understood, but the emperor was so earnest, of course she also satisfied his wishes.

Watching Xuan Ye's figure leave, I don't know if he deliberately bypassed Chengqian Palace, but walked to the back, and Huanchun was afraid that Concubine Tong would come to find trouble, so he hurriedly closed the palace door, and Lan Qi went straight to the West Side Hall to find her sister, and told her that in a few days, Duan Concubine Niangniang was going to move over, and Bu Guiren was so happy that she would be with her daughter every day.

"You begged the emperor?" Bu Guiren was full of gratitude, and sighed to himself, "I have always thought in my heart, in another two or three years, you should not still be a nobleman, and I will be like this, anyway, it doesn't matter if the life is good, but if you are the lord, I am afraid that the emperor will want you to live alone, I think that when the time comes, I will move away, or you move away, but no matter who goes, I am very reluctant to think of separating from you, and I don't know which lady I will follow, there are more and more concubines in the palace, I can't be a little nobleman, living alone in Zhongcui Palace." ”

Lan Qi could see the melancholy in Bu Guiren's eyes, and was very distressed, "It's not what I asked, it's the emperor who thinks about it, saying that in this way, I can let Duan Jing follow her mother." Sister, it's hypocritical to say such things, but I really want to say, don't you always push it on me, say that you love the house and Wu, the emperor is really thinking about you? He likes Duanjing so much, how could he treat his daughter's mother badly. ”

Bu Guiren's eyes were slightly sparkling, and he smiled: "I believe that the emperor is for our mother and daughter, and it is not up to you, okay?" Pulling Lan Qi to snuggle up beside him, he sighed, "But the best thing in my life is to meet you." He chattered again, "The concubine is good, she has a good temperament, and I feel at ease with her, but if you go elsewhere in the future, I will often come to the door." ”

Lan Qi didn't say anything about her leaving, nor did she mention anything about Yonghe Palace, but guessed that not only Bu Guiren, but others would also think the same, and at this time she just smiled and coquettishly: "I haven't left yet, how much my sister dislikes me, Lao Ba looked at me and left." ”

The sisters laughed, and after a while, Huanchun came in, saying that the emperor had told the six palaces that the nobles were pregnant, and it was estimated that someone would come to congratulate them after a while, and the nobles said that they were still in the mourning period of the queen of Daxing, and everyone should not dare to be so high-profile, but while they were talking, the first group of people outside came.

In terms of dignity and humility, sure enough, it was Concubine Tong who arrived first, but she would not personally condescend to congratulate a little nobleman, but just sent Qinglian to send all kinds of gifts, and other people were just that, the people sent by the concubine, Lan Qi had to answer in person, fortunately, Qinglian was able to talk to Huanchun and a few people, and she was quite comfortable.

As soon as Qinglian left, Xianfu Palace waited for time, Dongyun sent something, and then Jixin came for Rong Concubine, and the palace maids around Hui Concubine and Duan Concubine also came, Lan Qi didn't have to receive everyone in person, just hiding in the inner hall, listening to the movement outside and frowning.

When the outside finally calmed down, it was getting late, Lan Qi had already slept on the couch, and when she smelled the fragrance of the food, she felt hungry, and came out to see, the various gifts in the room outside, Bu Guiren was directing Yu Kui and Xiangyue to clean up, everything was taken apart and looked at it, carefully recorded and then sorted it up, Lan Qi also did these things in the past, and then she had to hide the good ones tightly so that Wang Mama would not touch her hands, and now she sat on the side and looked at it and didn't feel novel, but she saw that Bu Guiren had a lot of things to pick up and smell them, I thought it was weird.

"What does my sister smell?" Lan Qi finally asked.

Bu Guiren glanced at her, turned around and motioned to Jin He behind him to close the door, and then sat down beside her and whispered: "Always check carefully, in case something bad gets in, how many pairs of eyes in this palace are staring at you and jealous of you, in the old years, Duan Concubine, Yi Concubine and Guifei They had such things one after another, who knows what the reason, it is always good to have a little more heart." ”

Lan Qi looked at her sister in surprise, her weak and bullying appearance in the past was gone, and after four or five years, with her ups and downs, she also experienced the ability to survive in this harem.

"Maybe you only gave birth to this baby in Zhong Cui Palace, no matter what, I will guard you well." Bu Chang had a look of determination in his eyes, and said confidently, "I can't control the things outside, but in the Zhongcui Palace, no mess is allowed to mix in." ”

Lan Qi was crooked in her arms, smiling and not speaking.

However, the joy of being pregnant did not last long, Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou, which angered the young emperor, and the empress dowager was also very shocked, the emperor was busy with government affairs all day long, so there was an important matter in the harem that was unresolved, that is, who should be in charge of the harem in the future.

Lan Qi in the Zhongcui Palace, Su Mala Mama came to visit from time to time, the Empress Dowager told her not to move around at will before the fetus grows up, she herself is getting lazier and lazier, but she does not feel bored, and because the Chunxi princess has the auspiciousness of the "belt", the Empress Dowager heard that the emperor wants to let the concubine enter the Zhongcui Palace, not waiting for the emperor to come back to her senses after being busy in front, she will first make the decision to let her take the two princesses to live in.

In the blink of an eye in April, the weather is getting warmer, flowers are blooming inside and outside the imperial city, the spring breeze blows with pollen catkins flying all over the sky, the cloth nobles have some coughing and wheezing in spring, and can no longer take care of Lan Qi, the empress dowager has assigned two small palace maids to come, plus Duan Concubine and two princesses moved in, the former cold Zhongcui Palace, now it is very lively, it seems that the front of the Chengqian Palace, how much deserted.

It rained on this day, the air was filled with pollen and catkins for several days were washed clean, the flowers were fragrant and grassy, with the rain scattering, Lan Qi sat under the corridor to watch the rain and enjoy the flowers, so comfortable, sat for a long time Huanchun was afraid that she would catch a cold, to persuade her to go back, there were many people suddenly in front of the palace gate, and a little eunuch came in and said: "Concubine Wen has arrived." ”
