Xianghe and the other palace maids struggled to help the noble Juezen who was weak in his legs and feet, and said that he would send her back to the tent to rest, and on the other side, Nalan Rongruo rode a horse and took the frightened Shen Wan to the nearest place, and also saw the movement here, but here are all harem maids, Rong Ruo is inconvenient to get close, and sent someone to find out what is going on.

He carefully hugged Shen Wan off the horse, and said angrily: "If I don't pass here, you will have an accident, don't be reckless if you don't know how to ride a horse, in the future, I will teach you in the air, if you like it, I will buy you a good horse to raise, the horses here are very wild, you can't control it." ”

Shen Wanyan smiled, she didn't seem to be frightened, but said happily: "If you don't ride a horse here, what's the fun, since you brought me here to relax, don't restrain me, it's only right to pick a docile horse for me." ”

While speaking, the wife of the imperial guard Cao Yin, Li greeted him with a smile, Rong Ruo and Cao Yin are good friends, the two young ladies often come and go, but in Beijing, because of the situation, Li and Shen Wan have never met, but this time, Rong Ruo asked her to take care of Shen Wan, Li is also Han, take care of each other all the way, and Shen Wan is still in love, and is smiling at the moment: "My brother and sister are so strong, I am scared a lot, let's An Ansheng find other fun, many Niangniang Fujin have been riding horses since childhood, we can't compare." ”

Shen Wan smiled and said that she didn't ride a horse to compare with anyone, she just thought it was funny, and when she was talking, the person sent to find out what was going on came back to Rong Ruo and said: "If you go back to your lordship, Fang Cai Juechan noble fainted, and he has been sent back to the tent at this moment." ”

Rong Ruo frowned, Shen Wan also glanced at him when he heard the words, and then smiled and took Li's hand and walked away: "I have a bruise on my leg, and my sister-in-law has a plaster there." ”

Only when Shen Wan flashed in front of him, Rong Ruo came back to his senses and told her not to ride a horse again, she should go back to do his errand, there are many things here, he shouldn't have come.

Let's say that Juechan returned to the tent, Concubine Tong kindly wanted to invite a doctor for her, but Juechan tried her best to refuse, and not long after Tong Concubine was invited out by others, she finally gave Juechan a moment of purity. And she was helped back by Xianghe just now, and the moment she turned around, she saw Shen Wan and Rong Ruo talking, and she couldn't look carefully at her eyebrows and faces when she was far away, but it was such a distant view, which also shocked her heart.

It is said that Jiangnan women are really stunning, but just by glancing at Shen Wan, Jue Chan felt that the cloud in "Luo Shen Fu": "Magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful" is really something. In contrast, whether she is or the young ladies around her, all of them are vulgar fans, all of them are kitsch, she just smiles like that, and she is incredibly beautiful.

No wonder, Rong Ruo fell in love at first sight, no wonder, for her Rong Ruo to do so many "ridiculous things" that rebelled against etiquette and morality.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Is it that the doctor said that the water and soil are not adapted, but it has been two or three days, are you not accustomed to the water and soil at this time? Xianghe asked with concern, squatting on the ground and looking up at the master's lowered cheeks, and suddenly became surprised, "Master, why are you crying?" ”

Jue Chan suddenly woke up, raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had fallen at some point, and said perfunctorily: "I'm not very comfortable." ”

"Then you can rest for a while." Xianghe didn't dare to ask, her master had always had a problem with sadness and sorrow, she guessed what she was feeling for, and after waiting for her to rest, she withdrew.

Kejue Zen where can he sleep, his head is full of scenes of Fang Cai, once upon a time she also rode a horse with Rong Ruo, and still remembers that when he secretly took himself on a horse for the first time, he was blamed by his elders. The past is vivid, but now the woman who can ride with him is not himself.

However, the moment of purity was very short, after the women rode horses, they said that they had come to visit Jue Chan, but they gathered here to take care of themselves and chatter and gossip, Jue Chan turned their backs on them and did not want to listen, but they still drilled into their ears word by word, especially when they mentioned "that Han woman", they heard it very truly.

Someone said: "Our banner people can't intermarry with the people, and that Han woman was raised in a foreign house by Nalan people, so she should have no name." ”

Another said: "I heard that it was the emperor's acquiescence, so Lord Mingzhu can't do anything, wasn't it a joke a while ago, indicating that Mrs. Zhu went to see her grandson and was left out of the door?" ”

Someone sighed: "This woman is really powerful, it is true that she was born as a prostitute, a woman in that kind of place, coaxing so many men every day, which one is not powerful?" ”

"Didn't you say that you don't sell your body?"

"Who knows whether to sell or not, how many clean things can come out of the prostitute?"

These sarcastic and sarcastic words, like a magic sound, stimulated the Zen clan to almost collapse, she had always been forbearing, she actually sat up and said to everyone: "I'm really not very comfortable, if the sisters want to gossip, can you change places?" ”

Seeing her like this, Concubine Tong hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave, although the women were strange, it was not easy to save Concubine Tong's face, only waiting for the hustle and bustle to disperse, Juechan fell down as if she had collapsed.

Outside the tent, the concubine led people to pass by here, saw this scene, called the palace maid close to whisper a few words, the palace maid was embarrassed and said: "Niangniang, this is not good." ”

The concubine sneered: "I don't care if she's good or not, anyway, the concubine is so excessive, I can't just suffer?" ”

If so, in the evening, Xianghe got someone to pass the word, saying that the emperor let the Juezen nobles go to the tent to serve, and the word came in Xianghe was very happy, but Juechan did not have this heart at all, and avoided it in the palace, where could he still run here to serve, so he asked Xianghe to refuse, but Xianghe said that the person who came had already walked away, and saw that he could not resist the master, so he could only go to the front to reply.

However, Xianghe went for a long time and didn't come back, and then when other palace maids ran back, they were in a hurry and said: "Noble, go and take a look, Xianghe was dragged to the tent by Jing Concubine Niangniang, and she is being beaten." ”

Jue Chan is not cold-blooded and ruthless, it is Xianghe who has been taking care of her all these years, and when she heard such a thing, she immediately put on her clothes and rushed to the tent of the concubine.

Only when I came did I know that it seemed that the emperor did not have the intention of summoning the nobles of Juezen to sleep, and because he was supposed to serve the concubine tonight, he was angry for some reason and was kicked out, and he happened to meet Xianghe outside and the little eunuch said that her master was not in good health and could not serve him.

At this moment, Juechan knelt in front of the concubine, and the woman on the seat said angrily: "I think you are quite safe in the palace, it turns out that you are afraid of the top few, and you look at me to bully, and come outside to this set of fox kung fu?" When did the emperor summon you to bed, and you deliberately sent a palace maid to show your face, what do you mean? ”

"The concubine didn't, it was ...... just now"

"You didn't, okay, that's what your palace maid did." Jing Concubine interrupted Juechan's explanation, and viciously pointed at his subordinates and said, "Since Juechan nobles can't transfer Jiao palace maids, I'll teach me and beat me hard, to see if this little slut dares to play these tricks behind his master's back." ”

A few people on the side got the order, and the horsewhip in their hands crackled and pumped to Xianghe, Xianghe was so painful that she cried and rolled, Jue Chan really couldn't stand it, and pounced on Xianghe and said: "It's all the fault of the concubine, beg the mother to spare her, and the concubine will not go out of the account half a step before returning to Beijing, and you will spare her." ”

And at this moment, outside the tent of Jing Concubine, the concubine was leading a few female dependents over, Fang was sitting there at her, and then suddenly said that she wanted to come to Jing Concubine here to ask for tea brought by the capital, and also brought people over, she knew in her heart that she was coming to see Jing Concubine making jokes, but the others were frightened by the movement of shouting and killing inside, and without waiting to go in, she saw two people rolling and crawling to the ground and was pushed out, and someone saw it clearly and was surprised: "Isn't this a noble person of Juezen?" ”

In the female dependents, Shen Wan, who came with Mrs. Cao Li by chance, was shocked when she heard this, and she leaned out half of her body after following people in a low-key manner, only to see the master and servant on the ground embarrassed, the girl who looked like a palace maid was beaten all over her body, and the so-called Juezen nobleman, but her hair bun was a little loose, and she was trying to help the palace maid up, but no one on the side helped.

The concubine sighed: "What kind of trouble is this?" Then he generously took people in to see the jokes of Jing Concubine, and the female dependents followed to Jing Concubine's tent, Shen Wan followed behind, and when he came to the door, he suddenly pulled Li and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't go in, I'm really not used to it, and Rong Ruo is not happy to know it." ”

Li Shi also said softly, "Okay, they are all broken-mouthed, blame me for asking you to come to the tent to accompany me just now, but you were entangled here." As he spoke, he instructed the girl close to him: "Send Miss Shen back, don't get lost." ”

With a sound of Miss Shen, the people on the ground suddenly looked up, the Li family had already hidden in the tent, the girl wanted to show Shen Wan the way, but Shen Wan didn't leave, just as Juechan looked directly at her, she also looked at Juechan who fell to the ground, Shen Wan always knew this woman, this woman who was locked in Rong Ruo's heart, but was in the Forbidden City.

"We ...... Give me a hand. Shen Wan beckoned to the girl beside the Li family, the girl was also kind-hearted, and helped to come over to support the weak Xianghe, everyone didn't know each other, and the girl sighed, "Why is it like this, but you have to take medicine well, you can't be sloppy when it's hot." ”

The master and servant stood up slowly, but before they could stand firmly, Jue Chan's feet almost fell, Shen Wan stretched out his hand to help him, and said, "Be careful." ”

Jue Chan seemed to instinctively push Shen Wan's hand away, and immediately regretted it, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would misunderstand something, but he opened his lips slightly, and Rao was unable to say a word.

On the contrary, Shen Wan took the initiative and didn't talk much, and the girl supported Xianghe and prepared to leave, but they didn't know where Juechan's tent was, and in the end, Juechan slowly led the way, and the four of them were able to walk back.

The other palace maids around Juechan took the master and servant into the tent, Xianghe was beaten badly, and they were busy cleaning and medicating her, and the girl also came over enthusiastically, leaving Shen Wan here. Juechan was already sitting on the couch weakly, and a palace maid came to ask what she needed, and she waved her hand away.

Seeing her like this, Shen Wan bowed her body and said goodbye, turned around and walked only two steps, and heard the person behind her say: "Go back, don't tell him about it, he knows, it's just to add to the trouble, why bother?" ”

"Can the concubine ask, who are you talking about?" To Juechan's surprise, Shen Wan asked so rhetorically, she looked at the woman in front of her in a daze, and Shen Wan had turned around, but looked at her calmly and said, "There are very few people who know the concubine in Beijing, since you don't want anyone to know, the concubine will definitely be able to do it, there are really no people who know and interact with her, and you can say what happened just now." ”

"Nalan Rongruo." Jue Chan blurted out this name, how long has she not shouted this name outside of her heart, but when she shouted it, it was a heart-rending pain, what did Shen Wan in front of her mean, was she sarcastic and sarcastic her?

"Rong Ruo, is the husband of the concubine." Shen Wan looked at Jue Chan calmly, the candle had been lit in the tent, the orange light was reflected on her face, and the moist and shiny skin could be seen, a pair of eyes were full of autumn waves, and the body was slender and delicate.

But I don't know if Jue Chan looked at her from the bottom of his heart to see this situation, or if Shen Wan really has the beauty of the country and the city.

There was silence in the tent for a while, and neither of them spoke again, and after a long time, Shen Wan took the initiative to say: "The hour is not early, if the noble person has no orders, the concubine will leave." ”

Shen Wan bowed, and when he stood up straight, he finally heard Chan Shi say: "You see me so embarrassed, are you secretly happy in your heart?" Otherwise, why is this kind of attitude, even to a stranger, it will not be like this. In the eyes of Jue Chan, it is not clear whether it is envy or jealousy, there is only a thin line between the two, but envy is the emotion of the bystander, and jealousy is the * of the person concerned.

"The concubine is stupid and can't understand what you are saying." Shen Wan stood calmly and generously in place, with a smile on her face that was not thick or faint, she had read countless people in the Fengyue Field, what else was worth her fuss about.

"How can you not know that if he ......?"

Shen Wan interrupted Juechan's words, and said eloquently: "The concubine heard Rong Ruo mention that there is a woman who lives hard in a world separated by high walls for him, every time she hears him mention something, the concubine is puzzled, since that woman thinks everything for Rong Ruo, why does she always let him worry about it?" In the eyes of the concubine, there is nothing to say, to live for the sake of another person to live well, such words are awkward, and it is unreasonable to think about it. With the status of a concubine, I can only think that at least one of the two is always entangled, and under the pretext that everything is for him, what is satisfied is nothing more than his own selfish desires. ”

Jue Chan's eyes were stagnant, and he didn't know if he had listened carefully to Shen Wan's words, his slender body trembled slightly, and then he had to reach out to support himself on the couch to stabilize his body, and even more unconsciously avoided Shen Wan's gaze, did she lose, did she lose completely? However, Shen Wan's words, not because Rong Ruo still had herself in her heart, and not because Rong Ruo didn't let go of her feelings with herself, otherwise how could she think of these words.

In a trance, Juezen remembered that she had heard similar words, who told her?

And Shen Wan said: "The concubine is not in the flag, and Rong Ruo is a real and nameless couple, in this way, what will that woman think in her heart?" But a marriage letter and a name are insignificant at all, as for whether Rong Ruo thinks about anyone else in his heart, it is not important to the concubine, what matters is who will accompany him in the next life, and that person really shouldn't be entangled. ”

A few words are simple and clear, Shen Wan heard that the girl of the Li family was looking for her, and then did not wait for the noble Juechan to say anything, she turned around and left, the Juechan family did not ease her mind for a long time, and when she woke up, Shen Wan had already disappeared, and when the other palace maids turned back, they only saw their master crying and falling to the ground.

Everyone thought that she was wronged by Jing Concubine, but they didn't know that the last time she cried so heartbroken, she was summoned by the emperor to sleep with her attendants, and she could no longer guard her innocence for Rong Ruo. But this time, it was because Shen Wansheng had torn off the last bond between her and Rong Ruo, and she knew that her position in Rong Ruo's heart was getting smaller and smaller.

On the same night, in the Forbidden City, because the emperor and many concubines left the palace, the night of the palace became more peaceful, and all palaces and courtyards rested early, and the same was true of Concubine De in Yonghe Palace. Knowing that she will not be able to sleep well in a few months, Lan Qi now has a law in her daily life and diet, just to take care of her body with all her might, and does not want to repeat the tragedy of the old year.

I rested early tonight, imagining Xuan Ye sleeping in the heroic posture of riding a horse on the grassland, and seemed to see him in his sleep, but he was suddenly woken up by a urging sound, and when he opened his eyes, he only heard Huan Chun saying: "Master, the imperial concubine seems to be about to give birth, and there is a commotion in the Chengqian Palace." ”

Lan Qi was shocked and suddenly sobered up. Because the imperial concubine was about to give birth, she told Huanchun and others to come to tell her at any time, naturally she didn't blame Huanchun for waking her up in the middle of the night, she sat up and felt that there was nothing wrong with her body, and the child in her belly was also stable, so she changed her clothes and went to Chengqian Palace.

I had said before that Mama Su Mala would come to accompany the imperial concubine to give birth, but Mama had a cold a few days ago, and she must not come over tonight, and it was more than ten days away from the imperial doctor's calculation of the imperial concubine's birth, and the imperial concubine did not hold it up, but fortunately, all the manpower of the imperial doctor and the mother were arranged early, and so many children were born in the palace and would not be chaotic, but the poor imperial concubine was about to give birth unprepared.

Concubine Rong didn't arrive long after, and in the middle of the night, she didn't dare to alarm Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace until the critical moment, and persuaded Lan Qi: "You hold your stomach by yourself, go back and rest, you can't help much." ”

But seeing Qinglian hurriedly rushing out of it, she saw Lan Qi and pleaded: "Concubine De, Niangniang, she wants to see you." ”

In fact, this is the purpose of Lan Qi's coming, and Concubine Rong thought about it more and understood, a woman's life is in danger all the time when she gives birth, and the imperial concubine herself knows that if she can't survive this hurdle, her most beloved fourth elder brother must always have a trust, and now it is undoubtedly the best to entrust the child's biological mother.

"You have to be careful yourself, don't bother too much, if you have any more things, how can I explain to the emperor?" Concubine Rong helped Lan Qi to the door, and repeatedly advised, "Be careful of the one in your stomach, come out quickly when you finish speaking." ”
