Gonggong Li hurriedly waved his hand, bowed down and led Lan Qi elsewhere, and said softly: "Noble people, please wait in this house, a few princes will not stay for a long time, Mama asked you to send it, naturally you don't want to let the slaves handle it, you know in your heart." ”

Lan Qi understands that in the past few days, when she went to Cining Palace to serve, the Empress Dowager always muttered why she made Xuan Ye angry, and she inevitably had a temper if she was not happy. Su Mala looked helpless, it happened that the dragon boots worn by the Emperor Yuan Ri when he ascended the tower were made by her, and now she got it ready, so she asked Lan Qi to send it, the little nobleman refused at first, and the Empress Dowager was angry and said that she was not allowed to go to Cining Palace to see the little brother in the future, so she was bombarded.

I came frizzily in my heart, thinking that I would go back with good boots, but who knew that the two princes were already there, and Gonggong Li seemed to deliberately lead her to the door, and when she heard Xuan Ye's words of brotherhood, the unease in her heart suddenly disappeared, and the Empress Dowager often taught her to be considerate of the emperor's loneliness, at that time she didn't understand why the emperor was lonely, and now she knows the true meaning of the word loneliness.

Seeing it clearly and thinking thoroughly, she felt some guilt and self-blame, full of feeling that she had no face to see Xuan Ye, let alone be qualified to share his thoughts, he was so sad and sad that day, he obviously stretched out his hand and hoped that he would stay, but he was full of the breath of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Xuan Ye must have felt it.

"Father-in-law, I'm not going in." Lan Qi still stuffed the vermilion lacquer plate holding a pair of bright dragon pattern boots to Manager Li, turned around and walked out, and said, "It's time for dinner, the emperor may have to drink and chat with a few princes, and the empress dowager can't be left unattended." ”

The bottom of the flower pot hurriedly walked out, and Gonggong Li also hurried out with a pair of boots to persuade: "Wait, nobleman." ”

At this time, Fuquan and Chang Ning came out of the study, and when the two saw this posture, Fuquan's most informal person couldn't help but smile when they saw it: "The noble man is here?" Coincidentally, our brother was leaving. ”

was bumped into, Lan Qi could only hold the courtesy, the two sides saluted, seeing Prince Gong on the side, she solemnly said condolences, Chang Ning smiled sadly: "Thank you noble." ”

I didn't want to say anything, so I saw Fuquan smiling and patting his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "The fifth brother comes with me, since the noble people are here, let's go to Cining Palace to see the imperial grandmother, you haven't been there yet." ”

Chang Ning seemed to be reluctant, probably ashamed to see his grandmother, but was dragged out by his brother, Lan Qi stood on the side and saw the scene of this brother and brother Gong, and really felt that the Queen Mother's words were too worrying, and thinking about Yinzhen and the eldest brother and the prince, they have all grown into children after more than ten years, and they are also looking forward to harmony and harmony, so that Xuan Ye can like it with peace of mind.

And only the moment she was out of her mind, Gonggong Li went to inform the emperor that the noble man had arrived, and she was not allowed to shirk it, and when Gonggong Li came again, he smiled kindly: "Please be a nobleman, the emperor invites you in." ”

Lan Qi was cramped and embarrassed, and when she entered the door, she saw Xuan Ye sitting on the kang and looking at the boots that Mama Su Mala had made for him, and when she looked up and saw her coming, she naturally beckoned and said, "Come and put it on for me." ”

The little nobleman hurriedly approached, took off the boots on Xuan Ye's feet, and carefully put on the new boots for him, Xuan Ye got up and paced back and forth a few steps, his steps were steady and comfortable, and he said in a good mood: "Mama is old, and I am reluctant to bother her to do this, but I grew up wearing the shoes made by Mama, and in recent years, I have worn the shoes made by the Internal Affairs Office, although it also fits comfortably, I always think about the feeling when I was a child." ”

Xuan Ye sat back again, Lan Qi helped to put on the original pair again, but just took off the new boots, Xuan Ye gathered his feet and crossed his knees on the kang, and pulled her over, Lan Qi sat down, and could only hurriedly kick his shoes and climb up, and was held in his arms by Xuan Ye and asked: "Said that you gave the shoes and were leaving, so you don't want to see me?" It was I who showed you the face that day, and you held a grudge? ”

Lan Qi's head shook like a rattle, and the gold beads on the hairpin tinkled, but Xuan Ye said: "I stretched out my hand to keep you, but you still left, and you won't come again, why do you always coax you, when can you coax me?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" The little nobleman looked at the emperor in confusion, and just said those heart-shaking words to his brother, why did he suddenly become like a child now?

Xuan Ye buried his head in her neck, and said softly: "I saw you go that day, I felt even more sad, even if I lost my temper at you in the future, you don't want to leave, stay and let me say a few words, even if you don't understand and be wronged, can you listen to it?" I want someone to say whatever I want, and I can say whatever I want. ”

"What's wrong with you?" asked, gently pushed Xuan Ye away, saw that his eyes were red, and his face was full of the childlike air that an emperor should not have, and he didn't see the young emperor who was not angry in front of the courtiers and was domineering, nor did he see the domineering when he bullied himself on weekdays, he saw that Wu Ya Lanqi's heart was soft, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold Xuan Ye's cheek, and his chin responded, "The concubine promised the emperor, no matter what you say in the future, whether you lose your temper or scold people, you will not leave in vain, unless you find someone to take the concubine out." ”

Xuan Ye seemed to smile at this time, hugging her as if hugging the soft pillow, the heavy burden in his heart was put down, and Lan Qi heard him say in his ear: "That day, I remembered the things when I was a child, I thought of Eniang, I remembered the appearance of Huang Ama when he was dying, and I remembered the days after I ascended the throne. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"At that time, I didn't understand anything, I thought I could hide behind the imperial grandmother, but the imperial grandmother pushed me in front of others." Xuan Ye let out a long sigh of relief, "But I know that the Imperial Grandmother will always support me behind my back, step by step to today, and when I finally stand firm on my own and look back, the Imperial Grandmother is old." ”

"The Empress Dowager is very healthy, don't worry about it." Lan Qi wanted to appease Xuan Ye, but gradually listened to him, it seemed that the root was not in the Empress Dowager, and only heard Xuan Ye say, "I left the palace when I was young, if it wasn't for the emperor's grandmother to send someone to take care of me, let alone inherit the throne, maybe I would die outside the palace." The first emperor didn't like me and my mother, and treated our mother and son badly, I have always secretly hated this in my heart, but now that Wan Huang is seriously ill, I think that I have never done anything for this child, thinking about the children I have lost, why didn't I follow the old path of the first emperor, I am not a good father like him. ”

What should Lan Qi say? What to say? She understood why Xuan Ye let her listen to everything no matter what, it turned out that she couldn't speak out every time to appease, maybe in her heart, she also felt that Xuan Ye was not a good Ama, but she also knew the emperor's helplessness and involuntarily, for the princes, he was also a father and a gentleman, what Xuan Ye is worried about and melancholy now may be that the children will treat him in the future, and he will also have his "hatred" for the first emperor.

"After a while, you go back to Cining Palace and tell the imperial grandmother on behalf of me that I want to ask her to come forward and ask the people of the elder brother to send Wan Huang to his mother-in-law, so that the child will not have so many scruples in his last days." Xuan Ye seemed to vomit the displeasure in his heart, and his mood gradually improved, and he took Lan Qi's hand and said, "I scared you again, but it is really comfortable to have someone listen to it." ”

Lan Qi smiled and shook his head, slowly crawled behind him, gently kneaded his forehead, Xuan Ye closed his eyes comfortably, but suddenly remembered the words of that day, he put down a sentence that made Lan Qi uncomfortable, but it had nothing to do with the children's affairs, his heart suddenly tightened, Lan Qi felt the tremor of his body, and his hand stopped, asking Xuan Ye what was wrong, but Xuan Ye was silent for a moment, moved his body and pulled her in front of him.

The emperor's face was solemn, and he asked her: "That day you said that you would listen to the concubine play the piano, I asked you not to mention it again, do you still remember?" ”

The little nobleman saw that the emperor turned his face like turning a book, and he was terrified, and he honestly remembered it, and explained that he had lied, but he didn't expect that the emperor didn't care about this lie, but said to her seriously: "I don't let you mention the matter of the concubine playing the piano, because my heart is stalked, I know, Concubine Wen has repeatedly pestered you, what should be said and what should not be said, you have probably heard a lot, and the concubine is exactly the same as her, they are all chess pieces sent into the palace by the family, I don't let you mention it, it's not that the concubine plays the piano or not, I will rush out that sentence because I hope that you will always be a simple Wu Ya Lanqi and not be used by anyone. ”

"But ......" Lan Qi's heart jumped suddenly, and she unconsciously lowered her head.

Xuan Ye reached out and lifted her chin, frowned slightly and asked, "But what?" ”

Lan Qi bit her lip, sank her beating heart, raised her eyes and looked directly at Xuan Ye, her delicate and soft temperament in the past was gone, just like the sharp eyes that were always there in the elder brother that day, and said seriously: "If the emperor doesn't want the concubine to be used by anyone, then he must allow the concubine to have more eyes, without scheming city, the concubine will be involved again and again." ”

She was strong and serious, although she couldn't stand the redness of her eyebrows, she didn't let the crystal thing occupy her eyes, and told Xuan Ye very calmly: "The Empress Dowager once asked her concubine what she should do when she is not there one day." Your Majesty, what do you say? ”

"I understand."

"The concubine will hide the little palace maid Wu Ya Lanqi here." Lan Qi took Xuan Ye's hand and covered it on her chest, put down her serious expression, and said with a smile, "When the emperor thinks of her, he touches here, but the concubine must also become different from before, so that she can stay by your side for a long time, as well as by our children's side." ”

Xuan Ye was pleased, the hand covering her chest squeezed a little harder, Lan Qi was about to push away in a panic, but was bullied by Xuan Ye and pressed on the kang, a warm breath hit his cheeks, he said softly: "In the future, release the little palace maid, I will also see the strong and resolute Wu Ya Lanqi on weekdays, do you remember what I said, why do you want to read and write?" ”

Lan Qi was shocked, after saying these words that day, she was whipped, and she was separated from Xuan Ye for a long time, those words ......

"The latter position is just a title, and I am not uncommon." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to gently tease her cheek, with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, bowed his head and kissed it, and said softly, "But the harem is a family, I can only rest assured that I will leave it to you alone." ”
