The so-called superior, these nobles are always there, because they are slightly loved by the emperor, and they are allowed to go out on patrol with Hu, compared to other people of the same age who enter the palace or are a few years older, it is not an exaggeration to regard themselves as extraordinary, they must not be aware of the old love between the Chan clan and Nalan Rongruo, this time is just that the speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart.

But Lan Qi raised her eyes to look at Jue Chan, who was calm and calm, not at all the appearance of being trapped by love before, and seeing Lan Qi looking at her, she smiled faintly, indicating that she didn't care.

Lan Qi wanted to say, "That's good, you should have lived a good life for yourself." But in the end, she didn't say it, once said that your love was too humble, and she regretted it, where did she get her confidence and courage, and she also wanted to guide the country in other people's lives.

Over the years, she has gradually realized that she should not use the world in her own eyes to deny the existence and pursuit of others, others have never lived for themselves, and denied others without authorization, and therefore became smug, she is the one who loves the humble and insignificant the most. Obeying the rules of etiquette and denying others without permission are two different things.

"It is often said in the book that in the land south of the Yangtze River, there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, but now it is only a little bit of the scenery, which is already pleasing to the eye." Lan Qi's words were gentle, not mentioning anything Nalan Rongruo didn't mention anything about the private house Shen Wan, smiled and said to Jue Chan's family, "The nobles don't feel that the further down they go, even the skin becomes stretched and soft, at this time of the year in previous years, if they don't take care of themselves in the palace, they will start to crack." ”

Seeing Concubine De like this, Juechan was even more able to let go, walking slowly with her, talking about the climate, water and soil, talking about the women in the south of the Yangtze River, and Concubine De joked with her: "There are also many beautiful women in our north, and you are one of them." The water and soil nourish the faces of all places, but it is the land of wind and snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and the literati and ink writers chant poems against each other, and they have nothing to give a good name, but we don't lose people. ”

The atmosphere between the two was very good, Concubine Rong and Concubine Tong saw it, and they also came to ask what the joke was, and then the four of them actually sat down for a drink and enjoyed the river scenery and moonlight, which was very comfortable.

After the itinerary continued, everyone followed the emperor to visit the beautiful scenery everywhere, the imperial concubine was really much more energetic than when she first set off, her body seemed to adapt to the fatigue of running around day and night, and she could accompany the emperor to walk around.

In the blink of an eye on October 26, the large army arrived in Suzhou, stationed in Suzhou Weaving Mansion, this stay will be for several days, and then transferred to Jiangning in November, and the accompanying people can rest well.

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and the literati gather, and the Manchu people, since they are the masters of the Han people, must appease the gentry, solicit the hearts of the people, understand public opinion, and control the situation. The weaving department under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the emperor's informant and eyes and ears, and the three major weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou, Jiangning, and Hangzhou, can directly submit secret folds to the emperor, and send all kinds of people's livelihood information, including precipitation, harvest, etc., to the Forbidden City.

Now that the holy car is coming for the first time, it is necessary to learn more about the local economy and politics, visit the reputation of paradise on earth, and stay in Suzhou for a few days, as early as within the scheduled itinerary, and stay for a long time, some things have to be guarded against.

At the beginning of the day, the ladies rested at their respective residences, and after Lan Qi washed and changed clothes, she went to the imperial concubine to pick up Yinzuo back, this child was sticking to his fourth brother all the way, and he didn't even want his own mother, but he couldn't always disturb the imperial concubine, and Lan Qi also had a sense of proportion.

At this time, I brought a few people with Huanchun Ziyu, and when I arrived at the door, I heard a man's voice inside, and the palace maid came out to invite Concubine De Niangniang to enter and said that it was okay, and when I entered the hall, I saw a smoke screen in the middle, and the minister in court clothes knelt in front of the screen, and the palace maid greeted Lan Qi around the screen, and she saluted to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine let her sit aside.

"Suzhou weaving Qi Guochen, knock to see Concubine De Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Jin'an." Outside the screen, the minister saluted again, and Lan Qi said calmly: "My lord is exempt." ”

After saying that, the imperial concubine on the throne took a look, I don't know which one provoked the imperial concubine, and they were all happy all the way, but this time they had a tiger face, and after looking at Lan Qi impatiently, they said coldly: "Before the trip, the empress dowager and the empress dowager showed that the palace and the concubine were all the people who were far away from the southern tour, and it was inevitable that the carriages and horses would be tired. At present, tea and food are served by people brought from the palace, and the idle people here do not need to enter. ”

"Obey." Outside the screen, Lord Qi kowtowed again, respectfully and respectfully, and did not dare to speak.

"There is another ......" The imperial concubine raised her hand slightly, the slender armor was inlaid with crystal clear broken jade gems, and every time she moved, it flashed with dazzling light, which seemed to be able to penetrate the screen and shock the people outside, she smiled coldly, "All the way over, a little bit of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and I saw that whether it is a peasant woman working in the fields, or a girl wandering on the side of the road, it is really a Peugeot water spirit, in the end, one side of the water and soil raises one person, it is your Suzhou outstanding people." ”

It was quiet outside, the adult probably knew what the imperial concubine was going to say, and he didn't know whether to answer or not, and it was silent now, Lan Qi felt that someone was staring at her, and when she turned her face, she saw that the imperial concubine was glaring at her, as if she wanted her to continue, Lan Qi sighed in her heart, regretting that she had already known that she had sent Huanchun to pick up Yinzuo.

But the imperial concubine made a look again, and looked like she was bound to speak, she could only settle down and said solemnly: "In order to observe the people's feelings, the emperor is not allowed to pay a private visit to all the adults. Lan Qi paused, and finally said those embarrassing words, "There is the Empress Dowager's decree, whoever leads the saint to the land of fireworks ......"

"I don't dare." Without waiting for Concubine De to speak, Lord Qi kowtowed and said repeatedly, "The minister must protect the emperor's travel safety, please rest assured that the imperial concubine and Concubine De are at ease." ”

Lord Qi naturally didn't dare to say anything about whether to go to the land of fireworks, the two ladies said that it was already a broken rule, he had to know it in his heart but couldn't say it, the seats were all smart people, and they wouldn't chase him and ask him to promise anything.

"Stand down." The imperial concubine is indeed not so stupid that she has to promise anything, these ministers who revolve around the emperor are not more than them, they can understand it in a few words, and the imperial concubine herself understands that her extra advice is just to warn them, the emperor really wants to go to the flowers and ask the willows, they will not stop them, as long as the emperor has a look, they can figure out what the emperor wants to do.

Lord Qi trembled and retreated, and walked away from the harem maids to remove the screen, and the imperial concubine got up to stretch her tired muscles and bones a little, and said to Lan Qi: "The opera team has been transmitted, and Ming'er is watching the play across the water in front, and they all say that the drama here is good, but I am looking forward to it all the way." ”

Lan Qi reluctantly agreed with a smile, and said that she would take the sixth elder brother back, the imperial concubine seemed to be satisfied with Concubine De's words just now, so she said generously: "None of them can do without each other now, if you take Yinzuo away, he must cry, take Yinzhen over, and I will be clean here for two days." ”

This fell into Lan Qi's heart, and after thanking her, she was about to leave, but the imperial concubine stopped her again and asked: "What you said just now, is it really the Empress Dowager's decree?" The Empress Dowager told you privately that you can't let the emperor go to the land of fireworks? ”

Lan Qi smiled awkwardly: "The concubine thinks that if it reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor will not blame the mother or the concubine for being troublesome, anyway, when the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace gave a lecture that day, it probably meant this, and the concubine just sorted out those words, and it was not considered a bully." ”

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled with satisfaction: "Or you are smart and courageous, I don't dare to move the empress dowager out, since you said this, I don't know anything." ”

Lan Qi agreed on her face, but smiled bitterly in her heart, and secretly thought: Don't worry, whoever says it's the same, anyway, I don't want Xuan Ye to run to the Qinglou brothel, it's Shen Wan's kind of person who doesn't sell his body, and he is not worthy of being close to the emperor.

But at this moment, there happened to be someone from the emperor's side, and both of them were startled and thought that the emperor would know, but he only said that the emperor was going to send something to the palace, and asked a few ladies if they had anything to give to the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine sent Qinglian to prepare, and Lan Qi had already prepared it carefully, and after bringing Yinzuo and Yinzhen back, he asked Huanchun to send things and letters to the front.

And Huanchun came back not long after, so he told his master with a smile: "The emperor seems to have gone out, the front is mysterious, and the slave thinks that the emperor must not be in it." ”

Lan Qi immediately pouted and was not very happy, the handkerchief in his hand was tightly wrapped between his fingers, and he muttered sourly: "Don't say a word when you go out, who knows where to go, aren't you afraid that people will worry about it?" If he really wants to go to that kind of place, don't think about sleeping in my bed anymore. ”

Huanchun laughed at her: "It's been a few days in Zhenjiang, and the master's vinegar hasn't been drunk yet?" ”

Jokes are jokes, even a woman doesn't want to have such a thing, if Lan Qi pretends to be okay generously, she thinks it's fake, but fortunately, a pair of sons are cute and smart, and teach her to comfort her somewhat.

On the same day, something was delivered to the Forbidden City, which was naturally a few days slower, and it was still something that was brought back from the previous stops. But because the schedule had already been decided, the Empress Dowager looked at the letters and objects, and said to Su Mala: "It's time to go to Suzhou, right?" He also told Mama Su Mala, "Don't tell them about my illness, what's the use of them if they're in a hurry, they will only ruin the fun." ”

Naturally, the Empress Dowager only occasionally felt a cold, not a major symptom, and she would have recovered for a few days, and at this moment she reported a few mothers to ask for peace, and the Empress Dowager felt that they were inevitably wronged by being left behind, and it was even more chilling to ignore it, so she announced that she would come in and see it, and let the emperor send something to Su Mala to give to them.

At this time, Concubine Wen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Jing came to say goodbye, probably knowing that the emperor had sent something back, and they all wanted to come and see what was going on. It was rare that the Empress Dowager was willing to receive them, and everyone did not dare to chatter and argue for the old man to recuperate, just say a few words casually, and then Mama Su Mala distributed the things to them.

But after all, it was a happy thing, Concubine Hui led the eighth elder brother again, the child was tired of talking with the grandmother's milky voice, laughing a few words from time to time, and when she was happy, Concubine Jing suddenly said: "Concubine Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, but seeing that Concubine Wen's face was extremely bad, she responded with a smile: "What's wrong?" I ......" but before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned black and he fell heavily from his chair.
