At this time, Taohong came in, she was also tossed and haggard, but she also had a strong spirit to support the things in Yikun Palace, as for the two of them being able to talk well at the moment, she was not surprised, everything was planned before, under the instruction of Hui Concubine, her master hesitated for three or four days, and after the crazy Guo Guiren almost bit her, she finally figured it out. Guo Guiren can't escape death, don't waste it in vain, co-act with Concubine Hui in this scene, let her be a good sister with affection and righteousness in front of Concubine De.

"Guo Guiren is buried, whether her eunuchs and palace maids should be subdued, or ......"

"What kind of clothes you hold, just a nobleman." Concubine Hui stood up tiredly, as if she was leaving, "Let's keep it simple, Concubine Rong was just a few polite words just now, how could she touch a nail and ask for grace for such a person?" Now that it's cleaned up, I don't want to stay for long, anyway, there are rules, you just cooperate, you don't need to worry about it. ”

Concubine Hui also instructed Concubine Yi to nourish her spirit, so she led her subordinates away, and Peach sent the guests back, and only when she entered the door did she hear the master say: "Call all her subordinates, I have something to say." ”

Peach Red responded, and soon gathered the palace maids and eunuchs in the inner hall, and Yi Concubine didn't care about her embarrassed expression, faced them generously, and said kindly: "She was not very good to you when she was alive, she was often beaten and scolded, and the house often flew and dogs jumped, I wanted to care, and it was difficult to interfere because of my face." Now that she is gone, you may have to go to work everywhere in the palace, I thought, I still went to ask for grace, and left you to continue to take care of Yikun Palace, and do some idle things here, it is better to be bullied elsewhere. ”

Everyone kowtowed and thanked him, saying that Yi Concubine was merciful, thinking that these palace maids and eunuchs were tortured and scared by Guo Guiren, and they were waiting for a crazy person some time ago.

Yi Concubine said: "But since you stay here, you must be loyal to me, what happened to my sister in the past, you should forget everything, just as there has never been such a person." Don't think I'm ruthless, I was very good to her in front of her, and after death, grief and sorrow will only exhaust your blessings, you know, you will be good when I'm good, and when I will raise it for some time, Yikun Palace will still be the same scenery as before, and the emperor will come often, you have to take care of me here, and the people in the palace can't bully you. ”

Everyone swore allegiance in unison, Yi Concubine asked Taohong to reward them with silver, and let them continue to deal with the aftermath of her sister's affairs, and the Queen Mother also sent a decree from Ningshou Palace, saying that the emperor is now moving the two queens into the mausoleum, and Guo Guiren's funeral must not be rushed, just read that she gave birth to Princess Kejing, and Yi Concubine is still there as a sister, and it is also a mourning honor to give the mother's pension to the specifications of the concubine.

When the Queen Mother's decision reached Cining Palace, the Queen Mother had already come out of the Big Buddha Hall, and when she heard that she was given a bereavement pension to Guo Guiren's concubine, she just smiled: "My daughter-in-law here is too soft-hearted, such a person is full of sins, what to do with her grief?" ”

Lan Qi didn't dare to speak with her, and after sitting down, she served tea, and then bent her knees to pinch the legs and feet of the Queen Mother, but she was pulled up and sat on the side and said: "After I am a hundred years old, only the Queen Mother is in charge of the palace, but she was careless when she was young, and now she is sandwiched between me and the emperor, she doesn't understand anything, I don't blame her at all, it's her blessing and her helplessness." But now I look forward to your success in the future, you can take care of the things in this palace to the letter, I know that you have the ability to learn smart, but you also have a bodhisattva heart, Lan Qi I ask you, if you are the queen mother, how to make an order? ”

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then her brain turned around and replied: "The concubine will also give Guo Guiren grief, don't think about anything else, just for Princess Kejing, how good it would be if she was despised when she grew up, she is the emperor's daughter." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and shouted to Mama Su Mala: "What's the matter, she is also soft-hearted." ”

Mama smiled: "You are asking now, how to respond to the concubine, is it possible to say that the queen mother is not, and pushed the queen mother's idea?" You can't interfere, how dare you trespass. But you didn't hear a few words, our concubine Niangniang is not a soft-eared master. ”

After that, Mama told Lan Qi's doubts to the Queen Mother, the old man frowned and thought about it, and asked Lan Qi: "Do you feel uncomfortable in your heart?" ”

Lan Qi nodded a little embarrassedly: "I think it's weird, it's not true, if the emperor hadn't told the concubine that he hinted that Concubine Hui was going to end the matter of Guo Guiren, the concubine probably wouldn't think like that, but now I just feel weird, why do you say it's so coincidental?" ”

"True or false, you judge it in your own heart, you can doubt me very happy, remember today's incident, in the future, when you take care of others, or the affairs of the palace, don't soften your heart when you see tears, calm down and think about whether those people's tears are worth anything." The Empress Dowager also had doubts in her heart, but without evidence, she couldn't say that Yi Concubine was acting, but Lan Qi could think of this, she was very satisfied, and her bad mood for a while was gone, and she said with a smile, "Xuan Ye told me before he went out, you asked him to invite people from Horqin to come to Beijing to take a look at me, silly boy, now there are few people in Horqin's generation, and they are all hairy boys, I don't recognize them, what are you doing here?" ”

Lan Qi smiled: "It's always flesh and blood, you must like it when you see it." He whispered again, "It is not easy to invite the princes into Beijing, the concubines are not sensible and talk about it casually, but the emperor agreed, and the princes and adults of the Li Fan Yuan will be busy for a while, it can be seen that the emperor also has his intentions, you will accept this love, and it will be counted on you, and it can be regarded as a favor for the emperor." ”

The Empress Dowager gently twisted her ears: "You are dangerous to say these words, remember, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, unless you ...... one day" The old man's words were not finished, those words were unlucky and uninteresting, and he spat a few times in his heart, just laugh and teach Lan Qi a lesson, "Don't say such things on your own, let people find fault, if I hear it again, I will let you go to the corridor to punish you for kneeling, regardless of whether you have a face or not." ”

Lan Qi smiled and obediently agreed, and then chatted with her, only waiting for the Empress Dowager to rest in the afternoon, she withdrew and withdrew, but as if relieved, when she saw that Mama also came out, she came up affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Mama still loves me, otherwise I will be scolded, Mama, what do you want to buy?" Long live the silver that Lord rewarded me with a lot of unspent tweed, and I will let people go out of the palace to buy it for you. ”

Mama smiled softly: "Slave don't deceive you, if you dare to say to the Empress Dowager that you are pitiful, why do you have a sister so you sympathize with her, today you will be trained again, poor people must have something to hate, in the Forbidden City, the word pitiful, the most worthless." Also, in the past, Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace came to face you, but now they are not bad, you can loosen the string a little, and then look at the words and deeds of the other two, it can be seen that the really bad people are inconspicuous. ”

"Remember, remember, you can tell me something, I'll let them buy it." Lan Qi was tired of being coquettish, and she didn't look like a master or servant, the two laughed for a while, and Mama was going to rest, so Lan Qi withdrew with Yukui and Xiangyue.

The two girls followed the palace maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace to eat and drink tea, and when Xiangyue went out, she touched her belly and said, "No wonder Ziyu Lao Ai followed his master to Cining Palace, the slave always wants to have big rules here, and he doesn't want to be restrained, it turns out that it is so good, it is different from when he is there, and it is good to be a guest." ”

These are all palace maids from Cining Palace, who originally suffered a lot when they learned the rules and skills with their grandmother, but now they follow Lan Qi, and they don't work every time they come back, just wait outside, and the other palace maids and eunuchs will entertain them with good food and drink, no wonder Xiangyue said this.

All the way back in a good mood, passing by the West Sixth Palace, I saw someone moving things in front of me from a distance, Yu Kui said: "Hui Concubine Niangniang will move into Changchun Palace tomorrow, and the queen Tianrong Concubine Niangniang will also move to Jingyang Palace." ”

These Lan Qi also knew, but it was a joke: "Xiangyue is worried about the ladies and ladies to reward you with delicious food, but now that the emperor is going to do serious business, the two queens enter the mausoleum, how can the palace hold a banquet?" Wait, I asked Rong Niangniang to save another food box for you, hide it and eat it slowly. ”

The three of them laughed all the way back to Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi still waited until the house calmed down, and when she talked to Huanchun about the experience of the morning, she sighed, someone died in front of her, she still had the heart to talk and laugh, and pulled Huanchun and asked: "Am I too hard-hearted?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but when the slave and maid heard that Guo Guiren was gone in the morning, they shouted hello." Huan Chun pouted and said, "Otherwise, who knows when she will come out and harm others, she can't be guilty because she is crazy." Tell the slave and maid to see, and the concubine should also ......"

"Don't say it, you're not something you can say." As soon as Lan Qi mentioned Yi Concubine, she was even more palpitated, whether it was Yi Concubine or Hui Concubine, she had to pay attention to getting along in the future, as long as they were in the palace for a day, everyone would look up and not look down, Xuan Ye kept them, and he also had his own reasons, just like Tong Guifei was arrogant and domineering in the past, he didn't move his eyebrows, and there must be all kinds of people in the harem to be balanced.

"Concubine Hui and Sister Rong will move in the next few days, you remember to remind me to give gifts, there is no need to go to the Yikun Palace to mourn, the Empress Dowager said that they are all exempt." Lan Qi said and contradicted again, "It would be good if you were here in Huanchun, you really didn't see Concubine Yi crying, if it was fake, how could she be ruthless?" I can't say this to the Queen Mother, but in my heart, I would rather Concubine Yi be really sad, she will show me a play, and I won't be good with her, why bother? ”

On this day, until dusk and sunset, the things in the Yikun Palace were cleaned up, Guo Guiren had been sent away, and there was no mourning hall in the place where she lived, but all the things used were taken away, and they were burned after waiting, and they were cleaned inside and out, except for the immovable beams, pillars, doors and windows, the rest of the furniture and furnishings were all replaced with new ones, and even the paper on the windows was torn and glued with new ones.

Standing in front of the door of the palace where my sister lived in the past, looking at everything that was new and there was no trace of anything, thinking about the bits and pieces of the past, thinking about the scene when my sister came to play in the palace when I was still living here, I was still moved after all, and I couldn't stop crying.

"Eniang......" Ke Jing shouted loudly, Yi Concubine looked back, and saw the little girl lying on the threshold from a distance, and the nurse behind her panicked to carry her away, but Yi Concubine said, "Bring her over." ”

The nurse hurriedly hugged the little princess across the threshold, and the little girl swayed and ran over, threw herself under the knee of Yi Concubine, raised her head and shouted: "E-Niang go to play, E-Niang and Kejing play." ”

Squatted down and hugged the child, Ke Jing was very similar to her own mother when she was a child, although the age difference between the two sisters was not big, but she also watched her sister grow up, and now her sister is gone, but her child is still in front of her, maybe Ke Jing will grow more like her mother in more than ten years. Thinking of this, Yi Concubine's heart suddenly trembled, she kept saying that everyone in the palace would forget Guo Guiren, but as long as Ke Jing was there, she would always have the shadow of her own mother.

Involuntarily pushed the child away, the little princess was stunned, holding her mouth very aggrieved, and came up to be coquettish, and shouted non-stop, although Guo Guiren would confess to her daughter from time to time that she was the biological mother, but because the people around her were kind and seductive, more or listen to the teachings of the nursing mothers, the little princess only recognized Yi Concubine as her own mother, and did not know what the biological mother and adoptive mother was.

"E-niang, go play." The little girl took Yi Concubine's hand, but Yi Concubine fell to the ground, Ke Jing was very scared when she saw her mother like this, she was very scared, she held her mouth and cried, Yi Concubine also choked up, and said vaguely, "You cry, cry loudly, your mother is gone, you should always cry." ”

Crying and crying, or holding the child into her arms, everything is like a dream these days, she finally compromised with Hui Concubine, and insisted on leaving her sister's life for a few days, but she was so crazy that she almost bit herself, Hui Concubine repeatedly persuaded her, saying that keeping it was a burden and a curse, she thought that because of her sister's existence, Yikun Palace would become a cold palace in the future, she was scared, she hesitated, she said, she didn't want to be a resentful woman like Concubine Zhao, she wanted to live in the palace in a beautiful way, and her sister could not escape death, She can't maneuver around the concubine, but she can't maneuver the emperor.

"Ke Jing, you Ama is so ruthless, he is so ruthless." Yi Concubine hugged the child and cried, so frightened that Ke Jing trembled, Tao Hong and the nurse hurriedly came to persuade her, but this time, Yi Concubine really cried and fainted.

In the morning, in order to keep Wu Ya's family, he pretended to faint, and this time he really fell into the darkness, but in his sleep, he dreamed of his sister's teeth and claws, and woke up in a sweat at midnight.
