"In front of the Buddha, how can the emperor say coaxing words?" Lan Qi smiled calmly, she knew that only by smiling like this could she get along with Xuan Ye, no matter how many grievances and helplessness she had, as long as she still wanted to live with Xuan Ye and protect this relationship, she had to let go of all this. If in this relationship, Xuan Ye pays true affection to herself, then what she pays in it is tolerance, more tolerance.

Xuan Ye's expression was gentle, and there was guilt in his eyes, but it was no longer so intense, thinking that day he rushed to Cining Palace to explain to Lan Qi, and that feeling of guilt was so strong that Lan Qi shook his face and left, and he didn't move. On the contrary, it was only after relieving my spirit in the past few days that I felt a little unconvinced. But no matter how he is, he has no confidence, he cares about Lan Qi, although it is inevitable that other women will walk by, but if he knows that Zhang Jia's family is from Yonghe Palace, he will never touch her.

"In the future, I will never do such a sad thing for you, but you can't bring it up in the future. For your sake, the imperial grandmother scolded me severely, and it was ridiculous to think about it when I was reprimanded so severely by the imperial grandmother in the future. Xuan Ye smiled, and involuntarily took Lan Qi's hand, "Don't be angry." ”

"The Empress Dowager blames you, that's also distressed, think about the concubines, what are people outside saying these days?" Lan Qi wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held on tightly, if it weren't for the Buddha, she was afraid that she would be pulled into her arms and hugged, Lan Qi struggled twice and didn't pull it back, so she simply gave up, pouted slightly and said, "But the concubine can't be angry, and she doesn't dare to be angry, let go and treat all this generously and tolerantly, so that she feels peaceful and peaceful in her heart, otherwise you will always worry that you will blame the concubine for being stingy, and worry that improper words and deeds will make you lose your patience." In fact, when she walked out of Cining Palace that day, the concubine regretted it, how could she throw off the emperor's face. ”

"You should be angry."

"I shouldn't have lost my temper. Since the emperor coaxed his ministers and concubines, everything has passed. "The pregnant woman is very feminine, her eyes are like silky autumn waves, just a smile is enough to turn all beings upside down. But this is a pure place for Buddhism, how can they be allowed to grow up with their children, Xuan Ye got up, carefully helped her up, bowed to the Buddha together, and came out hand in hand.

The Empress Dowager had already rested in the dormitory, and Lan Qi didn't dare to hold hands with the emperor anymore when she left the Buddhist hall, Xuan Ye coaxed her to show her grandmother, because the old man saw them come in hand in hand at this moment, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's okay at this time, and there are no rules like this, how have you seen the emperor and the concubine hanging around hand in hand?" You guys, I'm happy when you're down-to-earth, don't quarrel at every turn, quarreling too much will hurt your feelings after all. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Where do the concubines have the courage to quarrel with the emperor?" Saying that, he replaced the palace maid and sat next to the empress dowager and beat her back.

The Empress Dowager was disgusted: "It's not that I spoiled you, you've become more and more powerful and don't understand the rules recently." Lan Qi, you have to remember, no matter what you do, you can't embarrass the emperor in public, even if you are wronged, you have to protect Xuan Ye's dignity, you know? ”

Lan Qi was behind the Empress Dowager and grimaced at Xuan Ye, but then the Empress Dowager said solemnly: "I want to talk about you in front of Lan Qi, you are also in your thirties, and in the next ten years, you must know maintenance." It doesn't last long to act on the spot, but don't hurt the hearts of people who want to accompany you for a lifetime for the sake of being greedy for a night. Since ancient times, the emperor said that he was a lonely widow, and in the final analysis, he did it himself, he had to show mercy everywhere, he was bound to hurt people everywhere, and he still looked at others to treat himself wholeheartedly? ”

Lan Qi gloated behind her, Xuan Ye glared at her, sat down beside her grandmother and said, "If you say this in front of Lan Qi, she will definitely have a next time." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Don't calculate the people of Yonghe Palace anymore, how can there be a next time?" As he spoke, he grabbed the hands of the two and folded them together, and said earnestly, "I'm already deaf and dizzy, and I can't walk, don't be angry with me, you are really good, and the imperial grandmother can rest assured." After all these years of ups and downs, is it possible that life is becoming more and more stable, but there is a dislike? ”

This made Lan Qi's heart sour, and she fell on the shoulder of the Empress Dowager, and the old man stretched out his hand to hug her and said, "I handed over Xuan Ye to you a few years ago, let alone in the future?" Lan Qi, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, no matter how wronged you are, you will be wholeheartedly to Xuan Ye. There are thousands of people in the Forbidden City, but you only have one, if it is a twisted melon, I don't dare to say this, I know that Xuan Ye has you in his heart, and your heart is full of Xuan Ye, so I dare to entrust you like this. ”

Lan Qi's eyes were slightly moist, but she didn't dare to cry, the Empress Dowager always said that she relied on Lan Qi's care, in fact, Lan Qi also relied on this old grandmother early, she entered the palace in her teens, and the time spent with her family was not necessarily longer than the days in Cining Palace, ten years ago, the Empress Dowager sighed with emotion, she could still look at the old man's black hair and smile in her heart, but now she looks at her gray hair and sees her move more and more slowly, and can no longer grasp the passage of time.

"The concubines will stand behind the emperor for the rest of their lives, no matter what happens, you can rest assured." Lan Qi replied softly, and pleaded, "But, let's not talk about this today, okay?" ”

The Empress Dowager looked down on life and death early, and today she has to say that she has to hurry up to ask for something, even if she leaves tomorrow, she will not regret it, but she is still alive for a day, and she can't help but be verbose for a day, and the love for her children and grandchildren in this life is in this verbose words.

Xuan Ye was also moved, accompanied his grandmother to say something interesting, the Empress Dowager brought Gonggong Li again, and scolded him for not holding on when he was old, and finding a good person to take over the affairs of the palace, Gonggong Li smiled and said that he was still very tough, as for who would take his place in the future, this time, he had already solved the culprit, and promised that there would be no such thing in the Qianqing Palace in the future, and even apologized to Concubine De Niangniang, saying that it was his negligence.

Lan Qi smiled and said, "It's not interesting to talk about making amends at this time." In front of the Empress Dowager, Xuan Ye said, "If the emperor really cares about the face of the concubine, he will take more care of Zhang in the future. The emperor has his heart, if he can still see the promise of the chapter, don't wronged others, these generous concubines still have, but if you can't see the chapter agree, don't force it, the concubines don't dare to take care of the affairs of the Qing Palace. ”

Xuan Ye knew that his handle was in Lan Qi's hands, and he couldn't help but hate it: "Listen to the imperial grandmother, which one of these words is really polite?" ”

Half-truths and half-truths, all jokes, the atmosphere was no longer solemn, and then Xuan Ye and Lan Qi left Cining Palace together, but the Empress Dowager left Gonggong Li to speak, and told him solemnly: "Without that, they will still beat other people's ideas, maybe a little plum and a little Zhouzi will come out tomorrow, if there is a suitable candidate, it will be decided early, otherwise someone will be worried about it, it will be a disaster." ”

Gonggong Li is old, although he is not as long-lived as the Empress Dowager, but he has served the emperor with all his heart and soul for so many years, and his body has aged faster, and he has had some difficulty coming back from Yingtai last time, so he can see how many years he can have, and he understands it very well.

The Empress Dowager said: "After you unload, let the emperor reward you with your land and house, go out of the palace to spend your old age in peace, and also ask someone to serve you." ”

Gonggong Li bowed to the ground and said: "The slave has thought about it, and after leaving the Forbidden City, he will go to guard the tomb of the first emperor, and hope that the empress dowager will be fulfilled." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Then it's better to guard the mausoleum for me in the future, so that you can tell me about the children from time to time." ”

"The Empress Dowager ......" Father-in-law Li burst into tears.

"That's it." The Empress Dowager smiled peacefully, "Even if you leave the palace, you have to be tough and live, I want to know the next few decades, our Xuanye must be a generation of saints, I want to watch him build the Qing Dynasty into a more prosperous empire." ”

Mama Su Mala stood on the side, already with tears in her eyes, at this time, the master has set the future of Gonggong Li, what about herself? In the early years, I thought that if I could serve my master for the rest of my life, I would go with her when the time came, but now I feel more and more that the Empress Dowager will definitely want her to stay with the emperor, and she can't leave if she wants to.

The old people here are indifferently facing the life that is about to end, Xuan Ye and Lan Qi, who have left Cining Palace, are looking forward to a better life in the future, the Empress Dowager was also young, Xuan Ye and Lan Qi will also grow old one day, there are only years in this world, and it is fair to everyone.

After walking out of Cining Palace, Lan Qi asked the emperor to go back to Qianqing Palace by himself, Xuan Ye knew her intentions, and she was not reluctant, she waited for the holy car to leave before walking slowly to Yonghe Palace, Huanchun and a few people were carefully supported, always worried about her delicate body.

Because the depression in his heart was scattered, Lan Qi's footsteps were light and leisurely, talking and laughing with the people around him all the way, he was in a good mood, but the road was narrow, and he heard the scolding on the road, and when he walked through the intersection, he saw that there was a palace maid beating there, and there was a little Hesheri standing angrily on the side.

"Master, let's leave it alone." If it was someone else, Huanchun would still like her master to take care of some nosy things and distract her mind, but seeing that it was a Ping nobleman, she really couldn't avoid it, so she hurriedly helped Lan Qi to walk away, but fortunately, the Ping nobleman didn't follow up and entangled, I thought that if I bypassed, I wouldn't cause trouble, but who knew that after two days, there were inexplicable rumors in the palace.

The palace maid who was beaten that day was waiting by the side of the Ping nobles, I don't know what happened that day I was beaten on the street, and I couldn't think of looking for a short sight in the middle of the night, which should have been the matter of the Ping nobles, but when it came to the palace, it was said that the Ping nobles met Concubine De Niangniang on the road that day, because the palace maid was rude and offended, and was punished by Concubine De Niangniang, so that people were forced to find death.

Dead palace maid, big or small, Concubine Rong always has to come to ask, asked what happened to Lan Qi, I heard that she was just passing by, and said: "If this is from the noble person himself, what does she want to do?" Does she know how many pounds and taels she has to provoke you? ”
