In contrast, Concubine Wen, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, talked and laughed calmly and generously, thinking that she had a child in her womb, how could others not hinder her, and today she was proficient in foreign dialect in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor in front of the scenery, Rao is Emperor has often rested in the Chengqian Palace recently, and Concubine Tong is destined to be bleak at this banquet.

And in the past, the emperor intended to establish Niu Hulu as the queen, and in the days before the establishment of the queen, whenever there was a big banquet, Zhao Guifei sat with the holy car, like the queen's respect, but today Tong Guifei is just sitting at the head of the concubines, and it is not as good as Concubine Wen next to the queen mother to sit close to Xuan Ye, the emperor's meaning is very clear, and there is no intention of establishing a queen.

The emperor is resolute, no one can change it, the position of the queen, the same unique imperial concubine is bound to win, she Tong Guifei is already one step away from the imperial concubine, but Concubine Wen is pregnant first, seeing that she wants to compare with her, the future is confused, I don't know how to break out of the fog, this cup of wine is drunk, is it hatred or resentment, or unwilling? And who knows what she is thinking.

"I always feel pitiful." Lan Qi muttered to herself, lowered her head to eat vegetables, and the nobleman on the side heard it and asked her softly, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Didn't I say anything?"

Bu Guiren said: "Do you guess whether Guo Guiren is happy, whether Yi Concubine Niangniang will be unhappy, how long has my sister been here, she is ahead of her." ”

Lan Qi looked up at Yi Concubine, she was happily talking to An Guiren, who was in charge, without any displeasure or nervousness, which made people feel that if Guo Guiren was really happy, she might have known it a long time ago, and she just didn't report many things.

Half an hour later, the Western dancers danced, the queen mother was rewarding, and someone from Yikun Palace came to announce, Yi Concubine smiled brightly, got up and went to the seat, and saluted and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the concubine, Guo Guiren is happy." ”

Xuan Ye's face was happy, and he also congratulated the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen generously explained to the envoy's wife, the envoy's wife didn't know what to say, Concubine Wen's eyes flowed, and she said to the Empress Dowager and the emperor, "The envoy's wife said that among the tributes this time, there is a pair of bracelets inlaid with pearls, which are things to pray for safety in their country." ”

The Empress Dowager felt fresh, let people go to find and see, opened the box, Bai Yingying a pair of bracelets, white gold as the base, the bracelet surface is embedded with pearls of uniform size, moist and full, Concubine Wen explained: "Inlaid with pearls means many children, the envoy said that in them, it will be given by the elders to the younger generations who are pregnant." ”

"There are only one pair of bracelets, and there are three of us who are pregnant." Concubine Tong suddenly opened her mouth coldly, her eyes slowly rose, and fell on the body of the noble person, and everyone followed, but she saw that the noble person was holding a chopstick matsutake chicken shredded with chopsticks in her hand, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she put it down embarrassedly, she didn't seem to have heard what the first few people were talking about, and she didn't understand why everyone was looking at her.

When Xuan Ye saw her like this, there was a smile in his eyes, if everyone was like her, how peaceful the world would be.

And the top didn't say who this bracelet was going to give it, Concubine Tong had to mention something, which made everyone embarrassed, but she gloated and said, "The gods they believe in are different from my generation, and if you want to come to the so-called blessing for safe production, it may not be useful to come to the Qing Kingdom." ”

Xuan Ye didn't care, and said to his grandmother with a smile: "There is another happy event that I haven't told the imperial grandmother, don't you see that the imperial brother's Fujin didn't come to the banquet today?" There is good news, I am in the house, I want to send a good gift, just this pair of auspicious bracelets, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Saying that, he looked at Fuquan, who was sitting in the distance, and Prince Yu had already gotten up when he heard this, and said to his grandmother with a smile, "The imperial grandmother will give it to her grandson, and the grandson will thank her grandson and daughter-in-law." ”

"There are no ladies in the palace, you are the thickest-skinned." When the Empress Dowager saw that her two grandsons came to give her the stairs, she was happy in her heart, and she gave this pair of bracelets to Fuquan, and rewarded him with Fujin, told her to give birth to a safe baby, and sent Su Mala and Yi Concubine back to Yikun Palace to visit Guo Guiren.

The drum music started again, and the embarrassment of Fang Cai was swept away in the hall, Concubine Tong sat there alone, everyone didn't look at her, that humiliation and resentment, I was afraid that it would set off a bigger storm, I don't know if this is a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.

A banquet was full of joy for the guests and hosts, Lan Qi was attracted by the exotic customs, and on the way back to the palace with Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren, she chattered non-stop, Duan Jing and Chunxi had already been carried back to sleep, Duan Concubine stayed by her side every inch, and was smiling and holding her: "Go slowly, you don't care about your stomach, talk quietly late at night." ”

Lan Qi laughed with the two of them heartlessly: "It's a shame that Prince Yu Fujin didn't come today, you look at the eyes of the prince, look at those dancing girls' eyes are about to fall out, if Fujin sees it, he won't be mad, I guess, Prince Yu's Mansion is going to have another Western concubine." ”

Bu Guiren scolded her: "Nonsense, even the prince dares to arrange it, be careful that the emperor annoys you." ”

was laughing, suddenly saw a group of people parked in front of him, a sedan chair stopped on the side of the road, the little eunuch here ran up to see, and quickly came back and said: "It's Concubine Wen Niangniang in front." ”

"Didn't Niangniang go back first?" The three of them were surprised, walked a few steps forward and saluted, Concubine Wen sat in the sedan chair, and said softly, "Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren go first, this palace has something to say to the noble people, and the palace will send someone to send her back in a while." ”

Duan Concubine frowned, bowed and said: "Niangniang and Degui are pregnant, please rest early, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it during the day tomorrow, and now it's even more ......."

"Duan Concubine, you go back." Concubine Wen interrupted the others, and her lukewarm tone clearly revealed a little majesty.

Duan Concubine and Lan Qi glanced at each other, Lan Qi nodded, Duan Concubine could only leave with Bu Guiren first, as soon as they walked away, Concubine Wen got down from the sedan chair and smiled at Lan Qi: "Let's go?" ”

"Yes." Lan Qi was embarrassed in her heart, because she had been using the excuse of being uncomfortable, she did not go to Concubine Wen's appointment to invite her to sit in the palace, but she attended the banquet in high spirits tonight, obviously deliberately avoiding people, and she didn't know what Concubine Wen was going to say at the moment, thinking that if she could avoid it, she would never be involved.

Slowly moving forward, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs are separated by a distance of more than ten paces and can't hear the sound of talking, Huanchun Luzhu and a few people don't dare to follow closely when they see this, by the two pregnant women walking in front, Lan Qi has long stopped wearing the bottom of the flower pot, but Concubine Wen is still wearing, but the body is not as tall as Lan Qi, at this moment as soon as the night breeze passes, the scarf of the group of flowers and splendid floats up, Concubine Wen asked her with a smile: "Are the noble people cold?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head and said, "The concubine is dressed very warmly. ”

Concubine Wen's eyes were full of envy, and she asked, "I heard that pregnant women are prone to heat and dryness, and sure enough, you look thinner than us." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Niangniang will be like this in a few months, and it may be better in winter." ”

"No, I'm not going to be hot anymore." Concubine Wen stopped, her eyes were clearly smiling, but people could see the endless melancholy inside, her red lips moved slightly, "Noble De, the fetus in my womb is gone." ”

Lan Qi's whole body tightened, her stomach was also tight, and she took a few steps back uncomfortably holding her abdomen. What's the matter, I haven't heard any wind in the palace, is it because she has been closed for too long? No wonder a few days ago, I heard that Concubine Wen was very happy, but she didn't feel any discomfort at the banquet, she looked at Concubine Wen in disbelief: "Niangniang...... Seriously? ”

"I asked Dongyun to invite you to come that day, I just wanted to tell you about it, it was gone before the Double Ninth Festival, I used the excuse of being happy, but I was just recuperating in the house." Concubine Wen's small body revealed an aura that did not match her, and she helped Lan Qi to continue to walk forward, "Except for Dong Yun and the imperial doctor I trust, only the noble people know about this matter at the moment." ”

There was an unsettling atmosphere in this sentence, Lan Qi slowly moved away, her heart was beating heavily, and sure enough, Concubine Wen spoke: "Noble De, help me once and help yourself once, how about it?" ”

"Niangniang's words, the concubine doesn't understand." Lan Qi wanted to hide, and she couldn't wait to leave this unfathomable little Niu Hulu clan immediately.

"It's very simple, Concubine Tong is bent on your child, do you think she will give up? It's better to have a good time. Concubine Wen said to her with crooked eyebrows, "Destroy her future, I will benefit, you keep your child." My sister once said that you helped Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong at the beginning, and they were purely using you at that time, and now you are also benefiting from it, isn't it great? ”

Lan Qi is taller, looking at Niu Hulu's face from top to bottom, it becomes more and more obvious that her chin is slender, she should be pure and beautiful, and she has a fierce aura for no reason, and then she thinks about the concubine who was drinking lonely and red at the banquet just now, and the look of Concubine Wen at this moment makes her feel extremely disgusted.

Why, do you always have to pester yourself?

"I'll give you two days to think about it, Concubine Tong is about to have a birthday, so you can't miss the opportunity." Concubine Wen smiled and said to Lan Qi, the smile was full of coldness and was cooler than this late autumn night breeze, Lan Qi trembled, shook her head and said, "The concubine can't do this." ”

Concubine Wen smiled: "But I told you, noble man, do you think you can get out of it?" Think about it. She smiled proudly, this is the expression she never shows in front of people, Lan Qi can't remember what the little Concubine Wen who wept every day in Kunning Palace looked like, what happened to her that made her so reborn?

Concubine Wen turned around and stopped moving forward, walking towards her minions, Dongyun hurriedly let the sedan chair come forward, and when Concubine Wen and her party walked away, Huanchun dared to come to the master's side, and helped Lan Qi until she felt that her body was trembling, and asked anxiously what was wrong, Lan Qi just said softly: "Send me back." ”

This night, the fetus in the womb has been restless, so that Lan Qi can't sit still, the doctor came to no avail, Lan Qi did not let the hospital report, indicating that it would be fine a long time ago, stalemate all night, sure enough, there was a lot of peace in the morning, the tired little nobleman also fell asleep, woke up at noon, remembered Concubine Wen's words last night, and his mind was heavy, fortunately, the child was a lot of peace, and did not toss her again.

In the afternoon, Concubine Wen sent something, saying that it was given to her by the wife of the Western envoy, she evenly distributed it to the palaces, and the nobles and concubines also had it, and when Huanchun came to Lan Qi, she lost her temper at Huanchun in disgust: "Take it, I don't want to see it." ”

It startled Huanchun, she relieved herself again, and said sadly and aggrievedly: "It's not for you, don't be angry." ”
