Lan Qi just said casually, Xuan Ye used it as a way to deal with this matter, he rarely dealt with the affairs of the harem personally, even if he asked, he only discussed a few words with the imperial concubine and Concubine Rong in the Qianqing Palace, and the small and trivial matters were managed by the concubines themselves, this time the emperor personally came forward, interrogated and searched, and summoned all the concubines to be present, and the women understood that this matter must have a result.

But Xuan Ye also said at this moment: "The art of Nightmare Town can be big or small, maybe in the end, I will still throw a mouse trap and arrest anyone to atone for the crime, but I can't bring the real evildoer to justice." Not only the harem, but I also suppressed corruption in the imperial court, often in the end, and let them secretly laugh at my incompetence. ”

Lan Qi persuaded softly: "That's not ridicule, it's a heartfelt cry of fear and sorrow, but others listen to it like laughter, but in their hearts, it's more uncomfortable than crying." Although we cannot judge the right and wrong in the hearts of wicked people with our own righteousness, we must believe that evil cannot prevail over good. ”

Xuan Ye was very pleased: "I haven't seen you studying recently, but what you say is getting closer and closer to my spleen and stomach, why do you make me feel fresh and surprised all the time, I really can't get tired of you." ”

Lan Qi said proudly: "The concubine has been watching drama books recently, don't look at those things and vulgarities, the white face and black face in the drama are these truths, you can't be afraid of negativity because the evil is strong, the human world has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is naturally a heroic and righteous person who stands in the world with a heroic and righteous spirit." In the future, the concubines should also teach these truths to the children, and the concubines do not expect them to make meritorious contributions, but they must be upright and good people. ”

"Nonsense, how can our sons not make meritorious deeds, if they are mediocre, I will be counted on your head." Xuan Ye said jokingly, and couldn't help but hug the person in front of him again, her slender body made him feel distressed all the time, and said softly, "The grievances you suffered are all because I failed to protect you well, but let's say it, we will be with you for a lifetime, right?" ”

The words evoked Lan Qi's pain of losing her daughter, but the little girl's firm eyes of longing to live were engraved in her heart, she couldn't drag down her body because of sadness, the queen mother was waiting for her to serve, waiting for her and Xuan Ye to travel, she wanted to replace her daughter, but also for herself and Xuan Ye, to live well.

"Anyway, the concubine relies on the emperor, and you can't get rid of it." She said softly, Xuan Ye lowered his head and kissed her, from his forehead to his cheeks, slowly staying on his lips, Lan Qi did not resist, but Xuan Ye still stopped, and then he kissed lightly greedily, and he was no longer obsessed, "I can't bully you, you have to take care of your body." ”

Lan Qi felt sorry for him, but she also knew her own proportions, and nodded happily: "The concubine understands." ”

This night is still the same as the Lantern Festival night of the year, the two are chatting about new things from all over the world, Lian Chun and Liang's father-in-law who went the night outside both said to each other: "The emperor and Niangniang, why are there always endless words?" ”

However, words are the real communication between people, from the words to know what the other party thinks, the entanglement of the body can be love or no feelings, Concubine Rong said in her early years, it is easy for the emperor to sleep between the concubines, it is rare, it is the emperor who has something to say to you.

After the incident of Weizhen, the six palaces were peaceful for a while, but the death of the little princess in early August still shocked the palace, some people pity Concubine De for losing her daughter, but there is no lack of gloating about it, they are jealous of Wu Ya's family, and they can't hurt her anything, so they can only hope that she will have a bad fate, to alleviate the jealousy and torture in their hearts.

After that, the sixth palace was allowed to visit Concubine De, but often everyone who came was blocked by Huanchun on the grounds that Niangniang was sad and too weak, and only Concubine Rong saw her once, although people did not look haggard than they imagined, but the sadness on Lan Qi's face that did not need to be disguised was still embarrassing. Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan have both lost their children, and they can better understand her grief at the moment, don't say any empty words, just let her take care of her body.

A few days later, the little princess's funeral was done according to the rules, and everyone thought that the emperor was partial to Concubine De and would give this daughter some mourning, but like other children who died young, they simply sent the burial according to the rules, and did not posthumously seal anything, let alone record it in the genealogy of the jade butterfly, so they said the opposite, saying that the emperor was still partial to Concubine De, and did not want to make her too eye-catching and make her enemies.

These words more or less passed into Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi just laughed, what he said to Xuan Ye that day, he had to practice it even more, and in the blink of an eye for nearly two months, her body has been extremely well-nourished, in fact, from the moment the fetus was delivered, she was no longer as weak as in pregnancy, and the days after that seemed to be weak only because of excessive sadness, once the mood stabilized, her body gradually improved, and the clothes before pregnancy were fit, not too fat and not thin, so that Huanchun and them were so uncomfortable.

It was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this autumn due to various matters the palace did not hold a banquet, but on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace could not help but send to usher in the liveliness, so she dressed up a few days in advance, and wanted to go to her heart to say goodbye to the Queen Mother. But everyone hugged her, and when she was about to go out with the sixth elder brother, there was another guest in Yonghe Palace, and the eunuch in front of the door ran in to say: "Master, Concubine Tong of Chuxiu Palace has arrived." ”

Huanchun asked: "Wasn't Concubine Tong grounded by the emperor?" ”

The little eunuch said, "The slave doesn't know, can the master see it?" If not, the minions will be sent away. ”

Lan Qi knew that the matter of Wei Zhen had nothing to do with Concubine Tong, she was dragged down by this incident, and she heard that the imperial concubine also blamed her fiercely, she felt that it was because of her own words, although the emperor chose her to lay out, she couldn't stay out of the matter too ruthlessly, so she ordered Huanchun to prepare tea, and returned to the palace to wait for Concubine Tong to come recently.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and the people who came in saw that she was even thinner at first glance, and she must have been frightened by this time, and at this moment she saluted respectfully, Lan Qi asked her to sit down, but she asked with concern: "Why did my sister lose so much weight, is she not in good health?" ”

Concubine Tong's eyes moistened before she could say anything, and she seemed to be trying to settle down and said: "The concubine is alone in Chuxiu Palace, she always has nightmares at night, and she has no appetite during the day. I've always wanted to see you, but the emperor asked the concubines to avoid suspicion and couldn't go out, so he made a decree today, saying that it was going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the concubines were allowed to come out for a walk. ”

"It's good that you're not sick." Lan Qi smiled gently, "I'm afraid it's a bitter summer, and the Bu nobles are like this, they always have to lose weight before autumn." Now that the weather is cool, the spleen and stomach are also opened, and I can eat well to make up for it. ”

Concubine Tong looked at her sadly, choked up and asked, "Doesn't Niangniang blame the concubine?" ”

"Blame you? What do you blame? Lan Qi asked knowingly, without showing it on her face at all.

Concubine Tong said: "The imperial concubine asked the concubine to apologize to you, although the incident in Weizhen was indeed not done by the concubine, but the concubine did not control the Chuxiu Palace, so she would let such a thing happen, hurt the fourth elder brother, and the concubine could not escape the blame." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "I can't believe what the ghosts and gods say, my sister shouldn't have demons." As for the fourth elder brother. She looked at Concubine Tong seriously and said, "The fourth elder brother is the child of the imperial concubine, if the younger sister is really guilty, just say it to the imperial concubine, why do you want to come to the palace to talk?" ”

Concubine Tong obviously didn't understand, and said after a pause: "It's the imperial concubine Niangniang who asked the concubine to come ......."

Lan Qi interrupted her and said, "Next time, my sister will say to the imperial concubine, 'The fourth elder brother is your son, what should you do to explain to Concubine De.'" ’”

"Concubine De Niangniang?" Concubine Tong is still shallow-minded, and she still doesn't understand the doorway here.

It happened that the palace maid brought refreshments, Lan Qi glanced at Huanchun, Huanchun brought tea to Concubine Tong, and said with a smile: "Niangniang forgives the slave and the maid for talking a lot, and the mother has entered the palace for a short time, and I don't know it, but the fourth elder brother is the child of the imperial concubine, and everyone in the palace knows it, so you can remember it like this in the future, you can't be wrong." ”

"The ministers and concubines have written it down." Concubine Tong may not have turned the corner yet, but seeing that Concubine De was gentle and generous, she looked very comfortable in her heart, as if she had unloaded her burden, and finally showed a little smile.

"The emperor also believes that my sister is not such a vicious person, so he will investigate carefully, otherwise he would have been convicted a long time ago, right? Since the emperor believes it, I believe even more that the emperor will give you justice. Lan Qi said this, looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile, "You see that I am dressed in clothes to go out, and I am about to go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, my sister is unfortunate today, next time I will invite my sister to come, or I will take Yinzuo to Chuxiu Palace to play, I heard that there are many exquisite Western objects in my sister's house, which just opened the eyes of our sixth elder brother." ”

Concubine Tong was very happy, and hurriedly agreed, knowing that Lan Qi was going out, she immediately saluted and said goodbye, Huanchun called someone to clean up the tea set, and sorted out Lan Qi's clothes a few times, while saying with a smile: "Concubine Tong's temperament is very different from that of the imperial concubine." ”

Lan Qi muttered: "If she is true temperament, it is a blessing, otherwise...... Forget it, what does it have to do with me. ”

After that, Concubine De was sent to Cining Palace in a soft sedan chair, I didn't know that she would come suddenly, and the eunuch in front of the door was happy to report, but Lan Qi had the intention to say: "I'll sneak in and surprise the Queen Mother, okay?" ”

Everyone naturally agreed, and hugged Concubine De to the outside of the inner hall, but the movement was too big, Lan Qi asked Huanchun and them to stay outside the door, and they stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and came in quietly, and were about to go inside, but they heard the Queen Mother say: "Sure enough, it's Concubine Hui?" She was born with such a vicious heart, I thought she was mercenary, and gave her the eighth brother to fill her *, but it turned out that her * was just a ditch, an abyss and a bottomless pit, how to fill it? ”

Mama Su Mala persuaded: "Don't be angry, the slave and maid may not believe what Concubine Hui said, if she really wants to harm Concubine De, what kind of risk to let her go to Xianfu Palace?" The slave felt that the person she wanted to deal with might be Concubine Wen. ”

The Empress Dowager hated: "But Lanqi still lost her child, didn't she curse it?" Such a woman can't stay. ”

When Lan Qi heard this, she was shocked, took a few steps back and stepped on the sound of footsteps, and then heard her grandmother scolding: "Who is outside?" ”
