The emperor personally welcomed his grandmother back to the palace, filial piety first, even if someone wanted to talk about the palace still living in a concubine, no one dared to say it bluntly, but with the royal drive out of the Forbidden City, it has not been spread in the palace before it was publicized, and everyone knew that Wu Yashi had been sick in the palace for more than a month, and when the illness was serious, it was the days when Juechan was favored.

Someone must have said sourly: "She has a good temperament, if I had already passed the word back, I could bear such a good opportunity." ”

They didn't know that from the moment they entered the Forbidden City, they learned to endure everything.

When the emperor traveled, it was impossible not to alarm the officials in front, even if he repeatedly ordered not to let his grandmother know, the garden also got the news early in the morning, and when it was transmitted to the empress dowager, he heard that his grandson did not let him know, and the old man smiled at Su Mala's grandmother: "He doesn't want Lan Qi to know, in this case, don't go to publicity, see what he is going to do when he comes." ”

Su Mala smiled: "You were still worried about how the Juezen Chang would become the climate, but when the Jiangnan disaster occurred, the emperor had to put it aside first, and I am afraid that he just felt fresh, and he didn't remember to pick it up again." ”

"I heard that woman was very charming, but I was not impressed." The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "Xuan Ye is young and vigorous and has the temptation to see the beautiful, I don't blame him, I just don't want him to hold Lan Qi to the sky wholeheartedly in the past few years, and he has a new love after only a few months, I shouldn't interfere with who he likes and who he doesn't like, but I can let the courtiers and the people spread it, saying that it is not good to be affectionate and obsessed with women today." ”

Su Mala's mother said yes again and again, and mentioned again: "The slave maid asked someone, this Juezen Changzai was indeed in the palace in his early years, tossing and turning, and he once worked as a palace maid under Hui Concubine, once Hui Concubine led her to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and also repaired Tian Zi for you, it was a clever child." Later, it was said that there was a time when Hui Concubine went to Qianqing Palace at night to deliver soup, and the emperor was emotional, and Hui Concubine was inconvenient at that time, and there was this palace maid by her side, so the emperor stayed. After that, he has been sick and crooked, and then he got better, because the queen mother likes the clothes she made skillfully, and the queen Niu Hulu was still there at that time, so she gave a promised name, at first followed the nobleman of Nala, and then because he offended the concubine and was beaten, he went to Yikun Palace when he was dying. ”

"Toss like this?" The Empress Dowager shook her head again and again, "It's a shame that she has survived until now, and this toss doesn't damage that face?" ”

Su Mala sighed: "The people in the palace, which one is easier, the slave and maid just singled out Juezen Chang and said it individually." ”

And hearing that it was related to Hui Concubine, the Empress Dowager sighed again, "She has become less and less stable in recent years, first, she has no holy grace, and secondly, there are more and more princesses of Elder Brother, she guards the eldest elder brother and calculates the future future of herself and her son, and gradually she is not the Hui noble person she used to be." For a while, I remembered my experience when I was young, and sighed, "I can't bear to blame her, for the sake of Fulin, I didn't lie on my salary and taste the guts, and I calculated day by day to get through, what she did may be wrong, but it is human nature to have such thoughts." ”

Seeing the sad past of the master, Su Mala Mama didn't dare to say it anymore, just to see Huanchun come to say hello, the Queen Mother was happy, Huanchun said: "Niang Niang asked the slave maid to ask for a favor, begging the Queen Mother to let her go out for a walk, always stuffy in the house and sick can't get better, and Niang Niang came in to improve her piano skills, and wanted to perform in front of the Queen Mother." I don't dare to get too close, but would you like to deign to move to the lake in the park to sit, the sun is so good today, how good it is to go out and bask in the sun. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "The emperor is here, don't tell your master when you go back, let her be surprised." ”

Huanchun couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and promised not to say anything, and the Empress Dowager said: "Let's go over and sit down, call the Empress Dowager and the two concubines, if it happens that Xuan Ye will arrive at this time, let him see how our mothers are doing well, who is rare and he is worried about." ”

Seeing the master smile, Su Mala Mama immediately relieved her heart, and commanded Huanchun to go to Zhang Luo, and soon everyone gathered around the old man to sit in the sun-rich place by the lake, and the piano was placed in the pavilion in the lake, Lan Qi was already there, seeing the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Zhou Zhou Zheng saluted first, and the two places were not far apart, the Empress Dowager said and laughed: "The curtain in this pavilion is fluttering, and the lake is full of green and turquoise lotus leaves. ”

Prince Yu Fujin smiled: "The appearance of Concubine De Niangniang's lakeside fuqin, the painting of the foreigner of Nanda has no charm, you have to find a Jiangnan painter, and the ink pastel can depict a little taste." ”

"I don't know what the situation of the peerless beauty in the palace legend is, the concubine is so stunning, does she really want to be compared?" Prince Gong Fujin looked at the misty scene of smoke in the pavilion in front of him, and said it unintentionally, but when she turned around and saw the Empress Dowager with a gloomy face, Prince Yu Fujin pushed her and said softly, "Which pot is not opened?" ”

When everyone was embarrassed, Lan Qi, who was sitting on the piano, didn't hear anything, she had already brushed her ten fingers across the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano came by the water. ”

The Empress Dowager was dissipated by Prince Gong's displeasure just now, and listened to the sound of the piano quietly, although she had no attainments on this, but Xuan Ye loved the piano when she was a child, and watched him study for a few years, and listened to a lot of piano sounds, and maybe because of her age, she could hear the sound outside the strings, Lan Qi sat on that side, looking like a demure and elegant person, her voice was slow, but it seemed to pour out her heart sour, so that her old man listened to it, and she couldn't help but be sad.

At the end of the song, everyone high-fived and admired, the Queen Mother invited Lan Qi to play another song, Lan Qi was happy and proud, plucked the strings again, more focused and concentrated, and inadvertently put his heart into Yaoqin, outside Xuan Ye entered the garden, listened step by step, and when the beauty of the pavilion in the lake stroked the piano, he unconsciously stopped.

Someone came quietly to spread the word, and Mama Su Mala got up and saw it from a distance, so she whispered to the Queen Mother's side and said, "Long live the Lord has arrived." ”

The Empress Dowager was silent on her face, and only whispered: "It's time to come, let's listen to this song, and then disperse, let him stand there and listen to it, and listen to how uncomfortable the people he forgot about here are." ”

And Lan Qi didn't realize that the emperor arrived, thinking that she had no distractions and a song of calm and calm, but unconsciously poured all her thoughts into it, and when she pressed the strings to accept the last sound, the applause of the Queen Mother and Fujin over there pulled her back to reality, got up and bowed forward, and heard the Queen Mother say: "When you return to the palace, let the emperor listen to it, our concubines can not only read and write to take the top prize, but also learn the piano is also a first-class understanding." ”

Lan Qi was happy on her face, but she had her helplessness in her heart, and when she saw the Empress Dowager get up, everyone was also crowded to leave, and a palace maid came over there and said: "The wind is strong, Mama Su Mala asked the Empress Dowager to go back, let you go back to rest earlier, and cough, don't blow the wind again." ”

Lan Qi responded, and when everyone walked away, the excitement of laughter and laughter just now suddenly disappeared, her heart sank, and she looked back and saw that the piano on the table was not a rare good piano, but she wanted to play it herself, and the Queen Mother asked the violinist to find a good one for her.

Huanchun had already seen the holy car in the distance, but it was a little far away, and there were trees to cover it, so she couldn't see it if she didn't see it, she promised the empress dowager not to say it, so she didn't dare to mention it, and persuaded the master to go back to avoid the wind, but Lan Qi said: "You let the little eunuch find two big stones that are really heavy, or bluestone slabs." ”

Huanchun didn't know what she was going to do, but she could see that there was a sad look on her face, and she coughed a few times when she spoke, so she didn't want to disobey and make her uncomfortable, so she called the eunuch in front of her to buy it, there are rockeries and trees everywhere, and it was easy to find a few stones, and it didn't take long to move a huge stone.

Lan Qi looked at it, Bei Yan bit her lip slightly, turned around and ripped off the gauze curtain hanging from the pavilion, twisted it into something like a rope for a long time, and tied the stone and the piano at both ends, Huan Chun then understood what she was going to do, and was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.

"I'll throw the harp into the lake in a moment, and you'll put the stone down." Lan Qi picked up the guqin and commanded the two little eunuchs to lift the big stones, the two of them were also a little at a loss, but Lan Qi smiled calmly, "It's okay, I'll let Huanchun reward you with silver ingots when you go back." ”

After saying this, she walked to the railing with the piano, looking at the sparkling lake in the distance, the pavilion was surrounded by lotus leaves, only this one was near the water, stretched out her hand to suspend the piano in the air, and the little eunuch on the side also worked together to lift the stone, she silently closed her eyes, let go of her hand, the body of the piano fell, and the big stone also fell, and the sound of two smashing water, and then only listened to the murmuring of the water, Lan Qi opened her eyes and saw that under the traction of the big stone, the xylophone that was still floating on the water, after a little struggle, quickly disappeared.

Xuan Ye witnessed all this from a distance, and the folding fan in his hand was about to be choked, he didn't understand why Lan Qi did this, she didn't want to play the piano to herself? Is it because Concubine Tong also plays the piano, or does she have other grievances? He once asked her not to mention the sound of the piano in the Chengqian Palace, but she never said that she couldn't play the piano, the guqin was originally a favorite thing, but now that it has changed its taste, it is not touched much, but he is willing to listen to Lan Qi play the piano, why does she want to do this? Is this determined that you will never touch the strings again in this life and this life?

And the crying piano sound just now is also complaining about yourself?

"Hooray, shall we go over?" Seeing this scene, Gonggong Li felt very uncomfortable, and urged the emperor to leave, but Xuan Ye took half a step back, turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

Gonggong Li was dumbfounded: "Go? ”

"Go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, you ......" Gonggong Li rushed over to stop him regardless of it, "The Empress Dowager knows that you are here, and the old man is not in a hurry when you leave." ”

The emperor's steps stopped, and Gonggong Li said sincerely: "The slave is talkative, long live the lord, if you leave, you will know when you turn around, if you cry secretly alone at night, are you willing to do it?" ”

Xuan Ye's eyes trembled, there was a clicking sound, and the folding fan in his hand was really broken.
