The emperor did not really leave the Yonghe Palace until Chinese New Year's Eve, so it was inevitable that Concubine De would be looked at by the six palaces, only the imperial concubine knew that the emperor was recuperating in the Yonghe Palace, Xuan Ye did not hide from her, that is, she was afraid that she would not feel comfortable in her heart, and only the imperial concubine did not care about this, and the concubines at the bottom could not become the climate no matter how they chewed the root of their tongues.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a lot of red tape in the palace, and Lan Qi followed the Empress Dowager almost every day, coping with the royal family and nobles. In the days before the Lantern Festival, the emperor sometimes entered the harem, Xianfu Palace was the majority, Jingyang Palace, Chuxiu Palace, etc. were all uncertain, and finally it was no longer the only favorite of Concubine De.

But even so, when the women get together, they inevitably use Yonghe Palace as a talking point, counting the days since she drove for nearly eight years, I don't know what kind of fox kung fu can make her pampered. But the emperor will never like a woman with many mouths and a lot of tongues and narrow-mindedness, the more they talk, the more they think the emperor can't hear, but in fact they unconsciously push the emperor further.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Xuan Ye entered the palace to ask his grandmother for peace, because he knew that Lanqi was in Cining Palace, on a whim, he personally went to the imperial garden to fold plums, and the royal driver arrived, but he saw a concubine and a party in front of him, and heard Wen Yan softly said: "Yinxi go slowly, be careful that the snow gets into the trouser tube, is it okay for Eniang to hug you?" ”

The emperor stood up, and saw that it was Concubine Hui and Eighth Elder Brother who had not been seen for a long time coming out of the garden, Concubine Hui was also shocked when she saw the holy car at first glance, and hurriedly hugged the child to come over to salute, Xuan Ye said that there was no need to be polite in the snow, hugged Eighth Elder Brother and said a few words, Little Brother was smart and beautiful, Xuan Ye liked it very much, seeing Concubine Hui standing quietly aside, thinking of the events before the Mid-Autumn Festival, knowing that she had been keeping to herself recently, and the politeness on her face was still willing to give, so she asked: "The garden is full of snow, what are you here to do?" ”

Concubine Hui lowered her head slightly, and said: "Yinxi is clamoring to fold plums, and the concubine took him to take a look, but unfortunately the concubine didn't have the strength to hold him, so she went in vain." ”

"I will take you there, and it just so happens that I will also fold the plum and send it to the Cining Palace for the imperial grandmother to enjoy, so that Yinxi can also fold a branch to honor the great grandmother." Xuan Ye said, holding her son and going inside, Concubine Hui had flattered excitement on her face, but as soon as her eyes rolled, a chill spread from her eyes, but before the people around her could see it, she had already restrained her expression, so she hurriedly followed the emperor to the garden.

The emperor walked in front with the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother knelt on his father's shoulder from time to time to look at the concubine behind him, babbling with joy, concubine hui booed at him, signaling the child not to make a sound, Yinxi was really well-behaved and smart, immediately pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and the group walked to the place where the plum blossoms bloomed, but as expected by Concubine Hui, the emperor suddenly stopped.

I only heard the voice of Concubine Wen coming from the plum forest separated by shrubs: "Save up the selected ones and send them to the Qianqing Palace, the nobles of Juezen, you can help take a look, they have no vision." Listening to the click of the scissors again, Concubine Wen said again, "We are a few days late, those women can really learn from it, but Concubine De cut a few branches, and they all came to spoil it one by one, look at this bare, very ugly." ”

Xuan Ye hugged the eighth elder brother and was about to go inside again, but Concubine Wen's words came again: "Why doesn't the emperor want to stay in Xianfu Palace for a few more days, it's useless for me to keep him." That day, I heard a few nobles often say that Concubine De must be a boudoir kung fu, so that the fox emperor can live in Yonghe Palace every night, but I have seen the files of the Internal Affairs Office, the emperor was there for so long a year ago, and there were no records a few times, do you say that they are really nothing, or Wu Yashi coaxed the emperor to show her mercy and did not remember? Concubine De has no daughter, and the imperial concubine and Concubine Yi have it, she must be in a hurry. ”

There was no one in the room to respond to Concubine Wen's words, and after a few sounds of stepping on the snow, I heard her smack: "You see that you are just wearing a plum blossom, but the whole person seems to be made of ice and snow. You don't think she's good-looking, and she'll serve people at night, it must be like this. ”

But Hearing Zen's voice say, "Niangniang, you must be cautious in your words and deeds outside. ”

It's just that it's too late to remind him, Xuan Ye turned around and hugged the eighth elder brother to Concubine Hui, and said with a cold face as if to blame her together: "I have to leave in advance, and you don't have to fold the plum and send it to Cining Palace." ”

The movement of the emperor walking away was not as comfortable and relaxed as when he came, the heavy footsteps sounded, the people inside were startled, someone probed his brain and ran out to see, it didn't take long for Wen Guifei to rush out, at first glance, she saw Concubine Hui leading the eighth elder brother to stand there, and the emperor's figure was getting farther and farther away, she asked in a daze: "Has the emperor come up?" ”

Concubine Hui picked up the eighth elder brother and saluted, and said with a smile: "The concubine didn't have time to remind the long live grandmother that you are also here, so I heard your words first, and the concubine estimated that the long live master was not very happy, and was going to fold the plum, but then left with a word." ”

Concubine Wen's face was whiter than the snow on the branches, her eyes widened, and she asked Concubine Hui: "You know that I am here, you did it on purpose, you did it on purpose?" ”

Concubine Hui tightened her neck around her neck, hugged the eighth elder brother and prepared to leave, and said lightly: "How could the concubine guess what you said just now?" If the emperor hears that you said that you should honor the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, I am afraid that this time will not be to leave, but to hold a pair of scissors hand in hand with you, fold the plum and send it to Cining Palace. ”

"You know I'm here." Concubine Wen was annoyed and angry, but apart from repeating this sentence, she really had nothing to refute, even if Concubine Hui wanted to seduce the emperor to listen to her say ridiculous things, how could she know that she would definitely say it?

"Everything is a coincidence, the concubine happened to meet you, and happened to meet the emperor, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you really shouldn't say those words, so it happens that the emperor listens to it really." Concubine Hui had a vicious breath on her face, and left proudly with her eighth brother in her arms.

"What to do? What should I do......" Concubine Wen's knees softened, and the whole person fell to the ground, Dongyun and a few people came to help, but they couldn't drag her, Juechan stood aside expressionlessly, and looked up inadvertently, but saw that the eighth elder brother who was lying on Concubine Hui's shoulder was looking here, and when the mother and son met their eyes, they were very strange to each other.

Very few people know about this matter, but it is a big blow to Wen Guifei, since that day the emperor has never set foot in Xianfu Palace, not even at the Lantern Festival banquet has never looked at her, and the imperial concubine fetus is stable, Yifei is proud of the spring breeze, I thought these were enough torture, but unexpectedly, in the second half of the first month, there was news in front of me that the emperor was going to visit Wutai Mountain in February to pray for the blessing of the Empress Dowager.

And this trip has to take the concubine with him, the original imperial concubine and the deputy queen should go together, but the imperial concubine is not allowed to travel far away, and it should be accompanied by Wen Guifei, but I don't know why it is rumored that Wen Guifei hugged the phoenix body and violated the harmony, and then the concubine should be safe, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were in charge of the trivial affairs of the harem and were flawless, and in the end, in the name of the imperial concubine, they skipped Wen Guifei and directly assigned Concubine Wu Yashi to accompany them.

When the will was transmitted to Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi didn't understand why there was such a sudden incident, and it was the imperial concubine who assigned her to follow her, and even directly sent someone to say that on the day she was traveling, she would send the sixth elder brother to Chengqian Palace to take care of her. So I had to come to Chengqian Palace in person to thank him and ask why, but Qinglian blocked the master's way, and said helplessly: "Niangniang, think about it, whose idea could this matter be?" The master is not very good, and she wants to rest and see no guests, so please go back. ”

Lan Qi suddenly understood in her heart, could it be that the imperial concubine was making wedding dresses for others?

After that, I went to Cining Palace to ask the reason, and the Empress Dowager only smiled and said: "You go and pray for me, it is more useful than anyone else, ask the Bodhisattva for me, let me live for a few more years." Only Mama Su Mala told Lan Qi in private, and she also inquired, knowing that the emperor was angry in the imperial garden that day, and smiled and persuaded Lan Qi to be relieved, "Although several things may not be related, the emperor is determined to take you out, what does he do for what?" Who makes those people love to talk nonsense, if you say that the emperor is biased, you have it, but they have to say this kind of thing to disgust the emperor, how can it be counted? ”

Lan Qi also knew Xuan Ye's temper, and for the words she complained about at the beginning, she ran to Yingtai to escape the summer, even if it wasn't all for herself this time, it must have taken a lot of thought to transfer the imperial concubine to send her to follow. The thought has come to this, it is useless to worry too much, it is better to accept Xuan Ye's heart happily.

And this time to Wutai Mountain, the crown prince Yinren also obeyed, the emperor was completely sent to do business, with one more concubine with him, and he went to worship the Buddha for the empress dowager, even if several major families in the relatives had criticism, they did not dare to say irresponsible remarks to the emperor.

In the blink of an eye, on February 12, the holy car traveled from the palace to Wutai Mountain, and the concubine Wu Yashi and the crown prince Yinren followed him, and the mighty team left the Forbidden City, and Xuan Ye left Beijing with Lan Qi openly.

Although there are many criticisms about the emperor taking Concubine De to Wutai Mountain, the emperor's trip is serious, Concubine De has never been close to the holy car to serve, occasionally with the prince, but also to take care of the children's diet and daily life, such as all the way through Liuli River, Laishui County, Zhending Mansion, Longquan Pass, bumpy for several days, February 20 to arrive at Wutai Mountain.

The emperor walked up with the prince, the concubine and the guards, and the ministers, Lan Qi was very inconvenient in her court clothes, Xuan Ye asked her to change into boots that were easy to climb, and generously took her up the steep stone steps, pointing out the beautiful scenery, and said with a smile: "To go to the top of the Bodhisattva, you must first climb this one hundred and eight steps, according to Buddhism, people have one hundred and eight kinds of troubles, which plague people's lives, when you walk through this one hundred and eight steps to the top of the Vulture Peak, When Siwang Lingfeng was victorious, all kinds of troubles had already been stepped on. ”

Where the people are outstanding, the scenery is beautiful, the sky is high, and the earth is wide, in the end, it is a holy place for Buddhism, Lan Qi is calm and peaceful in her heart, listening to Xuan Ye's words, it is also very useful, but looking back at the people behind her, she saw that the prince was followed by the burly guards, and couldn't help but say to Xuan Ye: "The emperor is waiting for the prince." ”

Xuan Ye didn't care, he just said: "He is still young, and he will naturally walk this road by himself in the future." ”
