Concubine Hui's ignorance of the turmoil of the previous dynasty, and her consistent style of acting steadily in front of people, won some face for Changchun Palace during this turbulent time. After all, she is the mother of the emperor's eldest son, as a concubine, she does not interfere in the affairs of the court, it is her duty, and the emperor seems to be a little satisfied with this, at least there is no complaint about the harem, and because of the hard work of Concubine Hui governing the harem during this time, before the outcome of the Mingzhu case, she awarded a reward to Changchun Palace.

Concubine Hui was terrified in her heart, but she was still calm and light on her face, so she had to be admired by others.

All this also reached Lan Qi's ears, and she didn't care about it, and only recuperated in Yonghe Palace with peace of mind.

At the beginning of February, Concubine De was close to the day of confinement, although this time before giving birth to nine deaths, but because of the smooth delivery did not suffer much, the body was able to recover quickly during the month of recuperation, and with the assistance of the Tai Hospital, skin care and slimming, in just 30 days, she changed herself from a haggard and swollen mother, back to the former ruddy and slender spirit of Wu Ya Lanqi.

Let's say that Concubine Rong has been sick for a long time, and the sisters haven't seen each other for dozens of days, and on this day, Concubine Rong finally left the sickbed, and when she came to say hello to her, she saw Lan Qi, who was coaxing the thirteenth elder brother to be a toddler, under the porch, and she was immediately stunned.

"Yinxiang, called Rong Niangniang." Lan Qi came with the thirteenth elder brother in her arms, and Concubine Rong blamed her, "Your waist is good, you just gave birth to a child, and you carefully hugged them and flashed your waist." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "The imperial doctor also advised, but I think that if you are lazy, you are really lazy, and you can only be energetic if you are more active." As he spoke, he teased Yinxiang in his arms and asked him to call Rong Niangniang.

The thirteenth elder brother is not good at shouting, he can't shout for a long time, he is shy on Lan Qi's shoulder, Concubine Rong teased and said a few words, and Lu Zhu greeted him and said: "Tea is set in the warm pavilion, please go and sit and talk." ”

Concubine Rong said that the weather was warm, and she couldn't sit in the warm pavilion, the sun was so good today, and both of them were people who had just left the bed, so they should bask in the sun more, so they asked the palace maid to set up a chair and coffee table in the courtyard, and laid a thick and soft cushion, and the two of them sit.

Concubine Rong hugged the thirteenth elder brother and sat on her lap, and asked the little princess why she didn't see her, Lan Qi said that the youngest daughter was sleepy, and she was still asleep with the fourteenth elder brother at this time, but this is fine, otherwise the three little dolls will make trouble together, and the roof of Yonghe Palace will be lifted.

"Your troubles, others can't ask for it." Concubine Rong smiled, looked at the thirteenth elder brother in her arms, and said softly, "His mother went to Yikun Palace, I heard some of the rights and wrongs, and I heard that she and Concubine Yi were serving tea in Qianqing Palace in the past few days." ”

Lan Qi could see that Concubine Rong was unhappy in her eyes, and then looked at her complexion, after all, she couldn't compare to people in her teens and twenties, she was so sick, her face was thin and yellow, and the fat powder on her cheeks was not evenly covered, and the true color of her skin was exposed, but it did not hide her ugliness. Because she has lost a lot of weight, her eyes look frighteningly big, Lan Qi can't help but persuade: "Kaichun Mountain Treasures are the most delicious, sister eat more, it's important to raise your body well, their affairs have nothing to do with us." ”

Concubine Rong glanced at Lan Qi, and under the sun, she saw that her face was ruddy and her skin was plump, like a woman who had just given birth to a child, and couldn't help sighing: "It's good to be young." ”

Lan Qi didn't answer, she will go to thirty in a few years, and she is no longer the teenage Xiao Chang who was back then, there will be new people in the harem, and even the young nobles will become "old people", the word young will never be able to withstand the years. The important thing is to have a good attitude, you can't deal with yourself casually because you are old, and you can't squander without moderation because you are young and beautiful, and people should be leisurely at all times.

Concubine Rong teased the thirteenth elder brother, and Lan Qi talked about the recent things in the palace without a word, talking about the fact that Concubine Hui was in charge of the six palaces in the days when she was sick, and sighed: "If it weren't for Mingzhu's incident this time, she might have to take all the rights in my hands in the future, she is a capable person, and she is not afraid of not doing well, and for the emperor, anyone who does these things is the same." ”

Lan Qi knew that Sister Rong's heart was sour, that was her capital based in the Sixth Palace, and now she was taken away by Concubine Hui because of an illness, how could she be willing, and she was sad that the emperor didn't care about the old age and decrepitness, although Lan Qi didn't bear it, she could also imagine the hardships. But Nian Xuanye is not a ruthless person, and he doesn't want Concubine Rong to hold grudges, so he said for the emperor without authorization: "The emperor understands very well which is more important in his heart, that is, the empress dowager has happened, and it has not delayed the major affairs of the court, my sister should understand, it's just because I feel sorry for you and don't reason, and if you get healthy in a month or two, the emperor should speak out." ”

"I hope so." Concubine Rong was not very confident, but when she came to Lan Qi to tell her today, she naturally hoped that Lan Qi could mention it in front of the emperor, but she also felt strange in her heart, and couldn't help but ask at this moment: "The emperor has been back for a while, why didn't he come to Yonghe Palace to see you?" ”

"It's just gossip when I come to see it, there are always rules and etiquette in the affairs of the Queen Mother, you don't have to worry too much, the emperor is most annoyed by the government, but I can't say a word about the things here." Lan Qi didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with the status quo, and said flatly, "It's a headache for the children to come, and now that Concubine Yi is serving tea by her side, I don't think it's inappropriate." ”

Concubine Rong frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little incomprehensible to her, although these words were spoken freely and calmly, but how she listened to it, she always felt that there was something else in it, goodbye to her now that she is radiant and charming, thinking about the appearance of a woman who pleases herself, Wu Ya Lanqi will never be unprepared to get the favor again.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps in front of the door, Huan Chunben stood beside him, saw that someone outside was going to pass the word, and went straight to meet him, and after listening to the words in front of the door, he hurriedly ran back and said to the two: "The court has decided, and Lord Mingzhu has been removed from the cabinet." ”

Concubine Rong immediately asked, "What else?" ”

Huan Chun shook his head: "There is nothing else, probably just the removal of the official position." ”

"Cheap him." Concubine Rong scolded hatefully, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and called the nurse to take the thirteenth elder brother away, and brought tea to drink as if to hide the embarrassment, and when she looked at Lan Qi again, she saw that her expression was solemn, and there was no hatred in her eyes.

"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and my sister can see it better." Lan Qi sneered, lowered her head and gently turned the dragon and phoenix pattern gold bracelet on her wrist, "This result is already much better than I imagined." ”

Concubine Rong said softly: "Listen to the rumors, the sixth elder brother ......"

Lan Qi looked up at her abruptly, and said with a smile: "Sister is a person who understands, and there are some things that we can't say." ”

Concubine Rong's face tightened, as if she had only seen the person in front of her clearly at this moment, as soon as the Empress Dowager left, Wu Yalanqi's whole person was different, and the resolute aura in her eyes made her want to avoid it after watching it for a long time, as if she was afraid that she would see through all her thoughts.

"I understand." Concubine Rong's heart sank, and she relieved her spirit and said, "I am getting older every year, and I don't have the courage I had when I was young, but I want Jingyang Palace to be safe." Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, they rely on their family background to be superior in the palace, but in the end they are still burdened by their families, we are innocent, but it is a blessing. ”

Lan Qi bowed his head and said, "What my sister said is that we should cherish our blessings even more." ”

When Yonghe Palace knows these things, the six palaces have all known, and those concubines who were attached to Changchun Palace in the past are in a hurry to clear up their relationship with Concubine Hui, although the emperor only rewarded Concubine Hui a while ago, but today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, who knows if Changchun Palace will be unlucky tomorrow.

And Concubine Hui this time, she was no longer silent, and the next day she pushed everything in her hands clean on the grounds of illness, and Concubine Rong came to visit and was politely refused to say that she was asleep, and she was almost taken away by Changchun Palace, and returned to Jingyang Palace, but Concubine Rong could not be in charge of everything alone, and she must need one person to assist.

The first day after the imperial doctor said that Concubine De Niangniang could go out and walk around, Lan Qi went to Yinghua Hall and Cining Palace to worship the Empress Dowager, not to mention the sadness, seeing that the former palace of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace was being demolished to move to the foot of Changrui Mountain, she was even more sad, and she helped Huanchun to look at it for a while before leaving.

After that, he went to Ningshou Palace, and Wen Xian came out in front of the door, but he didn't see her for more than a month, the little girl seemed to have grown a lot taller, and she looked at her mother with a smile under Lan Qi's knees, and said sweetly: "Eniang is so good-looking, really good-looking." ”

Seeing her daughter, Lan Qi's sadness in her heart dissipated a lot, praising her for taking care of the Queen Mother very well-behaved these days, Wen Xian also hummed angrily and complained: "The imperial grandmother is not obedient at all, she always refuses to take medicine, I am tired, I have to tell the emperor Ama when I go back." ”

Lan Qi couldn't cry or laugh, she was held by her daughter all the way to the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Queen Mother's phoenix body also recovered, but she was a little older than Lan Qi and they recovered faster, so they couldn't go out.

In front of the door, the palace maid lifted the curtain and walked to the warm pavilion, when she heard the queen mother saying: "Mingzhu's henchmen are all over the world, and they are on a par with the Hesheri family, the Hesheri family is the prince's dependence, how can the emperor allow the power behind the emperor's eldest son to compete with the prince?" Such a simple truth, I, a woman, can understand it. ”

"Imperial grandmother, my mother is here." But the little girl didn't understand the affairs of adults, and suddenly shouted this, Lan Qi hurriedly followed into the door, and sure enough, she saw the Queen Mother crooked on the kang, and Mama Su Mala was sitting beside her. I haven't seen you for a long time, the Queen Mother and the Lady Mother saw the radiant Concubine De come in at first glance, and their eyes lit up, and the Queen Mother read Amitabha Buddha, hugged Lan Qi to her side and said, "Look at you like this, I really want to let the Emperor take a look." ”

One sentence aroused the sadness of the three of them, and it was inevitable that they wept, and asked Wen Xian to coax back and forth, so that it was better, and then it was just to say some words of consolation, Lan Qi asked the Queen Mother to take care of her body, and finally sent Mama back to her palace, firmly supporting Mama on the road, but walking and walking, she couldn't hold back, and tears fell like rain.

An old man and a young man stood under the corridor, and the grandmother quietly looked at the weeping Concubine De, remembering her former appearance and the bits and pieces of more than ten years, and said with emotion: "The queen mother died without illness is a great blessing, and it is all given by the mother." ”

Lan Qi shook her head, and after calming down, a smile bloomed from her tears: "Don't worry, Mama, I will live better than before." ”

At this time, I saw Yu Kui coming from Yonghe Palace, and saw Mama talking to her master, and she didn't dare to approach for a while, Mama asked her what was the matter, and Yu Kui responded: "It's Long Live Lord who came to Yonghe Palace, and the slave maid came to ask Niang Niang to go back early." ”
