After Luanyu, the imperial concubine and the concubine also got down from the carriage one after another, Lan Qi was surrounded by everyone with her stomach up, watching the imperial concubine step forward to support the queen mother, she turned her gaze to the women kneeling in front of her.

I wanted to find Xing'er's figure from the crowd, but I happened to see Concubine Hui's eyes, and Concubine Hui was looking straight at the Queen Mother, Lan Qi hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and her heart was inexplicably covered with a layer of worry. Looking at the Empress Dowager again, the old man's steps seemed to be steady, but the hand holding Su Mala's grandmother was trembling slightly, and a cold burst from her spine for no reason, Concubine Hui stared at the Empress Dowager with such eyes just now, what did she want to do?

"Concubine De, concubine send you back to the palace." Concubine Tong came up on the side and helped Lan Qi smile affectionately, "You have had a hard journey all the way, and the imperial concubine has instructed me to send you back to the palace first." ”

On the side of the imperial concubine, she had already followed Xuan Ye and the Queen Mother to serve the Empress Dowager back to Cining Palace, she was pregnant with a child and the carriage was bumpy all the way, and it was indeed not appropriate to follow the waiting, so she walked to Yonghe Palace according to Concubine Tong's words, and the concubines waiting here had also gotten up, and Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui came over to greet Lan Qi, but they couldn't say a few words, and only the people from the East Sixth Palace went back together.

Concubine Rong followed Lan Qi all the way to Yonghe Palace, and after settling her down, she sighed: "I didn't take care of Haozhang and agreed, I'm afraid I will cause you trouble in the future." ”

Lan Qi knew very well what was going on, and she didn't pretend to be confused with her, but said: "Sister doesn't have to blame herself too much, probably my fate with her is over, and now I just hope that she won't do anything crooked, don't embarrass the thirteenth elder brother in the future, I can understand why the imperial concubine Niangniang was guarding me like that." ”

Saying these words against her will, Lan Qi's heart ached, and now she was most worried about Xing'er's safety, if those two people found out that Xing'er was eyeliner, they would definitely treat Xing'er more viciously than the concubine who abused Juechan's family.

And she only thought of the concubine in her head, Concubine Rong talked about the situation of Xianfu Palace, she went with Concubine Hui before, and told the events of that day in detail, Lan Qi knew the situation of the concubine from her sister's mouth, what made her care was not how the concubine was, but heard that Concubine Hui had also witnessed everything in the Xianfu Palace, and something popped up in her heart for no reason.

Because the pregnant woman wanted to rest, Concubine Rong didn't bother for too long, and when Yonghe Palace calmed down, Lan Qi asked Huanchun to find Liang Gonggong, and Liang Gonggong often ran errands for Rui Jingxuan in the garden, but I was afraid that the palace would already know that the emperor had allocated this person to Concubine De, Lan Qi didn't have to be sneaky, she generously found people, and told him seriously: "There are two places I want you to keep an eye on these days, one is the Xianfu Palace Guifei Niangniang, I am afraid that someone will bully Niangniang, the other is the residence of the Ping nobles, and her grounding has not been solved, Don't let her run out, if you find her daring to go out, you know what to do. ”

Liang's father-in-law promised, said some countermeasures and discussed with the mother, and left in a hurry, Huan Chun came to persuade the master to lie down in peace for a while, the bumpy road has been very hard, but Lan Qi said: "Just looking at Concubine Hui's eyes, I felt a chill in my heart, and I always felt that she was calculating something." ”

What she didn't say to Huanchun was that the nobles of Juechan had reminded her that there were court officials who wanted to impeach Mingzhu recently, and Mingzhu was the biggest reliance of Changchun Palace, she would definitely do something for Mingzhu, Lan Qi couldn't guess what she wanted, but her appearance of the city mansion really made Lan Qi disgusted.

I was in a bad mood, and the symptoms of joy ran out again, and I lay in bed and rested for a long time, and the doctor came to see twice and said that the mother and child were safe, and Huanchun was relieved.

After all, the emperor has not been in the palace for most of the year, and he has been neglecting the ladies in the palace, so it is not difficult to eat together, so he is naturally willing to satisfy everyone. It was night when most of the concubines of the Sixth Palace were present, the concubines were recuperating and the nobles were grounded, needless to say, the only thing that was not present was the big-bellied Zhang Promise.

Concubine De was also pregnant, but when she attended today's dinner, everyone saw that when the emperor asked Concubine Yi a few words of promise, Concubine De showed an ugly look on her face, so they were even more determined that the two turned against each other. Concubine De attended tonight, so Zhang promised not to come, I was afraid that she was afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed by Concubine De in person, so she deliberately avoided her.

At this moment, in the Yikun Palace, Zhang promised to sit on the kang for dinner, a few small dishes sent from the imperial meal in front, Xiaoyu waited aside, and said with a smile: "Long live the master is really good, but it's a pity why don't you always give you a promotion position, if you are a nobleman, it is better than promise, and others will not dare to bully you." ”

Zhang promised to eat the sauce chicken leg in his hand and didn't care about talking, her appetite has been very good these days, since Concubine De came back, she felt that she had something to rely on, and she was no longer so helpless, even if the two couldn't see each other and couldn't get close, she also felt very comfortable.

"Master, the slave has something to ask you." Xiaoyu hesitated, looked out, saw that there were no outsiders in Yikun Palace, and saw that the master's mouth was stuffed and said ask, so she approached and asked softly, "Are you really against Concubine De?" Do you really want to help Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui deal with Concubine De? ”

For the sake of this, Zhang promised never said to Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu just obediently listened to the master's instructions to do things, she is a simple girl, what the master says is what she says, but she will always read a little bit of Concubine De's mother in her heart, and Xiaoyu understands what kind of person her master is.

Zhang promised to put down the chicken leg that had gnawed more than half of it in his hand, let Xiaoyu wipe it with a hand towel, and slowly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, and then tilted his head and asked Xiaoyu: "Do you think, am I that kind of person?" ”

Xiaoyu's head shook like a rattle, and Zhang promised to smile: "That's good, Xiaoyu, don't ask so much, you can do whatever I ask you to do, but if you're afraid, I'll think of driving you away." When you leave Yikun Palace, someone will immediately come to arrange where you will go in the future, you can rest assured that I will not treat you badly. ”

Xiaoyu looked nervously at her promise, her lips clenched tightly in her teeth, her head thought hard for a long time, and she firmly said to the promise: "The slave is not going anywhere, where you are, the slave is there." ”

Zhang promised to be very pleased, and patted her hand calmly: "Don't worry, our good days are ahead." ”

The dinner party ended in the middle of the night, and the emperor gave you enough face and accompanied you for most of the day, and afterwards went back to Yikun Palace with Concubine Yi, naturally Tete went to see Zhang Promise first, and after talking to her, he went to Concubine Yi's house. Although Concubine Yi was a little unhappy, it was much better to think that the emperor could now set foot in Yikun Palace than to never walk through the front door.

On the side of Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi came back to prepare to wash and change clothes, Lu Zhu ran in and said that Liang Gonggong was here, I don't know what happened at night, Lan Qi took off half of the clothes on his body, so he put up a gauze tent and waited for Liang Gonggong to come in and talk, I didn't want to talk and talk, so I removed the gauze tent, and carefully told a lot of things before putting Liang Gonggong back.

When Huanchun came back, he saw that his master's face was very unsightly, and he was worried that she was bothered now, but Lan Qi smiled: "I know that you feel sorry for me, but if something really happens, it will be too late." ”

The holy car returned to the palace for a few days, in a blink of an eye it was already on the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the old people must be respected on the Double Ninth Festival, and the clan relatives and nobles naturally wanted to learn from the emperor. In the past, Cining Palace was supported by Concubine De, but now it is inconvenient for her to be pregnant with a child, today it is Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui who are taking care of it here, and everyone only knows that Concubine De is raising her body in Yonghe Palace, or someone comes to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace, but she is also politely refused.

In Cining Palace, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are senior concubines in the palace after all, and their status is noble, and the food sent to usher is no worse than Concubine De, but Concubine Rong feels that Concubine Hui is always absent-minded, and she will look out from time to time, and she can't help but ask curiously who she is waiting for, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile that she saw why the eldest brother and his wife hadn't come in yet. Concubine Rong didn't think about it deeply, and gradually it was lunch time, and several princes Fu Jin came to invite them to stay for dinner.

Meals are eaten in the palace almost at the same time, and someone will send food to Xianfu Palace every hour, although it is locked up here, but there is no shortage of anything, it can not be regarded as a real cold palace, the daily dishes of the concubine are all excellent and exquisite, because the emperor has repeatedly instructed that the concubine needs to eat well to recuperate, and no one is allowed to slack off.

Such a contradictory and distorted situation is inconceivable to outsiders, but for the people in Xianfu Palace, they are gradually getting used to it, and they still throw the key in and then open the door, and the heavy copper lock makes people look very desperate.

Today's winter clouds are uncomfortable, not in front of the door to support these things, several other palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are busy sending dishes into the dining room, the concubine's meal is very high, hot and cold dishes, soup and dim sum, every meal is full, everyone is very attentive to the arrangement as before, there was a sudden restlessness in front of the door, a few palace maids with vegetables were so frightened that the plate in their hands almost slipped off, only to see a few eunuchs in front of the door for some reason to surround a person and press it to the ground, and even stuffed cloth into his mouth as if he was afraid that he would bite his tongue and kill himself.

Dong Yun, who has been missing at this moment, suddenly came out of the side hall, what is surprising is that she is also accompanied by a familiar face in Xianfu Palace, no one knows when the Juezen nobles came to the Xianfu Palace, they can't even fly in here now, only Dongyun knows, Juezen nobles came early in the morning with the people who delivered breakfast, and waited here for most of the day, just waiting for a moment, in fact, they also came yesterday, but they didn't wait for anything, and they followed the people who sent dinner at night.

"Look, nobleman." A eunuch scoured out of the bosom of the man who had been pressed to the ground and found a box filled with solidified grease, on which the key of the brass lock was stuck, and if he pulled it off, he would be able to carve out the mold of the key.

The noble man of Juezen sneered and asked: "This key is waiting for you to pull it out again, it is greasy, who doesn't know that someone has tampered with it?" I really want to let you go back and tell your master, don't worry, I can't even pick out a capable and trustworthy person, she has always been leaky. ”

Naturally, this person will not be put back, Jue Chan told Dong Yun a few words, then took the box to Yonghe Palace, the day before yesterday, Concubine De Niangniang looked for her, saying that Liang Gonggong found out that Concubine Hui's people were fighting the idea of Xianfu Palace, and asked her to go to Xianfu Palace to tell Dong Yun, and then he stayed directly to see what movement could be, and waited for a few days, it happened that when the Double Ninth Festival Palace was lively today, such a thing happened.

In Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi looked at the box, the key had been pulled out, and the solidified grease carved a distinct key shape, Huan Chun said on the side: "As long as there is this, a capable craftsman can make an exact same key, there are so many people in Xianfu Palace, what can you do to build a key to open the door?" ”

"Could it be that Concubine Hui wants to release the crazy concubine Niangniang like she did with Guo Guiren in the past?" Juechan said coldly, Lan Qi raised her eyes to look at her, her heart was cold, and she slowly ordered, "Let Dongyun send rewards to the palaces in the name of the concubine, and those who send it to Changchun Palace will cover the big copper lock with red silk, since Concubine Hui wants it, let's give it to her, anyway, the person who caught her has already startled the snake." ”
