Nalan didn't agree, nor did he refuse, a group of people dispersed in a commotion, and then followed Rong Changzai to her new residence, Rong Changzai said: "The emperor is going back to Shengjing to pay tribute to Taizu Taizong, and he is not going to visit the mountains and rivers, and they are too disproportionate." I don't think Concubine Zhao will accompany you, don't go and touch nails for them. ”

"What my sister said is that I will find a way to shirk it in a few days, and if they want to go, they will go and ask for advice themselves." Nalan said, "I want to stay with my sister." ”

Rong Changzai smiled: "It's okay, let's be companions." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at her palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy moving things in and out, and from now on they could be quiet and quiet, and she was happy when she thought about it.

And this step by step, it is also earned, and the queen promised her that in the future, she will be crowned a noble person and a concubine, and she will be able to raise her own children. The eldest brother can't afford the blessing of the emperor's eldest son, so he left early, and the one in his belly must grow up healthy.

The two stood in the courtyard, each having their own thoughts.

What Nalan thinks is that no matter what, she wants to conceive a child as soon as possible, in this palace, there is no grace, there is no emperor's sincerity, if she wants to gain a foothold, she must have a child, which is also a bargaining chip that Mingzhu can support her in the future.

After leaving Rong Changzai, avoiding others, Nalan instructed his personal palace maid: "I want to know the menstrual time of everyone in the courtyard over there, except for Dong Xu, you go and inquire." ”

In a blink of an eye, at the end of April, Yu'er returned to the palace from Nanyuan, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, a family banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the birth of the little princess.

These days, Shu Shu took people to prepare for the holy trip, Ling Zhao took care of the trivial matters in the palace as usual, and the Forbidden City was in order, but everyone knew that the queen and Concubine Zhao, unless they had to do so, had not spoken seriously for a long time.

But the emperor doesn't seem to think so, Kunning Palace is his gentle township, and there is no lack of rain and dew in Yikun Palace, it seems that even the emperor has acquiesced to the disharmony between the concubines.

On this day, everyone gathered in Rong Chang to gossip here, and the Li family still did not change his words, and said in front of everyone: "I think this is normal, how can there be any real harmony, for the queen mother, the existence of Concubine Zhao is a threat, and for Concubine Zhao, the queen will always press her." It is a lie to say that they are like sisters and live in harmony. ”

Ji Xin pouted on the side, this Li Chang was here, upside down, how embarrassed he was with his own master, he turned around and shouted Sister Rong Sister Rong, but after a few days, she turned her face again, so repeatedly, in short, she was happy, never caring whether others were happy or not.

"Ji Xin, a box of cakes rewarded by Cining Palace yesterday, you brought it to the sisters to taste." Rong Chang instructed, "Make a pot of chrysanthemum Pu'er, and it is most suitable to serve with cakes." ”

Nalan sat aside and glanced at his palace maid.

Soon after, the refreshments were served, and Li Shi played with the delicate dim sum in his hand and said: "The Empress Dowager is too partial, but it is just a box of pastries, is it only Sister Rong's share?" Even if it's two of us. ”

Rong Changzai said with a smile: "I just said that it was for everyone to eat, but it was sent to me." ”

Li Shi took a big bite of the pastry, and said inarticulately: "Forget it, we are just stained with the light of Sister Rong's belly, and even you yourself are stained with the light of the child." ”

Nalan ate the pastry and said: "In the end, it is a dim sum made by Cining Palace, sweet but not greasy, and the style is exquisite." ”

Hesheri often said: "Sister Nalan doesn't like sweets on weekdays, but today she appreciates her face." ”

Nalan smiled: "The pastries rewarded by the Empress Dowager, how can you not enjoy them well, but Sister Rong, if you are pregnant with a child, you want to eat less sweets, let's eat them for her." ”

Rong Changzai said kindly: "Yes, I don't dare to disobey the kindness of the Empress Dowager, but this time, I can't eat sweets, and I'm afraid that it will be bad, so it's good for you to divide it." ”

In this way, everyone told some jokes and passed the time for a long time, but in the evening and sunset, the courtyard over there was lively.

The palace maid of the Nalan clan ran back and whispered in her ear: "It's all stomach trouble, light stomach pain, heavy diarrhea, people turn over on their backs." ”

Nalan held the jade pendant that was covered with heat in his hand, and said indifferently: "After a while, let's go and say hello." ”

But half an hour later, because Imperial Doctor Xuan alarmed Yikun Palace and Kunning Palace, Concubine Zhao sent someone to ask why everyone had a bad stomach all at once, and checked all the way to the imperial dining room, and there was a lot of commotion.

Soon after, Kunning Palace issued an edict, saying that the Li family and others were unwell, and it was not suitable to serve the emperor these days, and within two months, the meal card was temporarily withdrawn.

Since it is the queen's decree, Ling Zhao will do it, Dongyun went to pass the word, and when he came back, he whispered: "The queen's mother is cruel, for two months at once, there are a few people left in the palace who can serve the emperor, turn around, and the emperor can't turn out of Kunning Palace." ”

Ling Zhao glared at her, although what Dong Yun said was also what she thought in her heart, but she still said: "Don't make trouble for me, now that we are all safe, I am very satisfied." ”

In the days that followed, more than half of the meal cards that were delivered to the emperor every evening were missing.

Xuan Ye either went to Kunning Palace, or went to Lingzhao's side, and then removed the pregnant Rong Changzai, and promised Dong who was recovering after giving birth, only the Nalan clan remained.

However, the stomach sickness of the Li family and others had already recovered, but the queen's decree was to withdraw the meal card for two months, and they could only watch the Nalan family being picked up by the Qianqing Palace day by day, gritting their teeth with hatred.

At the end of May, the third elder brother died for 7749 days, because he did not die of the epidemic, there were not too many taboos, and there were still some relics of the third elder brother in the elder brother's office.

The Nalan clan went to Yikun Palace on her own to ask for instructions, hoping to allow her to take things back, and Ling Zhao naturally agreed.

There was still a little princess in the elder brother's office, and the Nalan clan didn't stay too long, so he collected his things, walked back along the East Road Palace Road, and met Li Changzai who came out of Ningshou Palace.

Li took Hesheri to stop her and asked straight to the point: "Why are we the only ones who have a stomach trouble that day?" The meals in the imperial dining room are the same, and the pastries and tea in Sister Rong's house are the same, why are you the only ones who are fine? ”

Nalan asked, "What does my sister mean?" ”

Li Changzai hated: "Did you do it on purpose, you deliberately drugged us, so that we couldn't serve the emperor, and you alone took the opportunity?" ”

"Even if you can't serve the emperor, does that mean I will definitely be able to serve the emperor?" Nalan asked rhetorically, "Why should I be clever, if people don't know unless I do it myself, if I hurt you, sooner or later it will be exposed, don't I want to live?" ”

Hesheri stepped forward to pull the rack: "Sister Nalan, don't take it to heart, Sister Li is angry, you also know that we will enter the palace together, and it will be three years." ”

"What do you say?" Li Changzai said to the Hesheri clan, "You can't hold it back, what does it have to do with me, I'm just here to seek justice." ”

Nalan said: "I don't want to argue with you, I'm going back, Concubine Zhao allows me to burn some paper money for the third elder brother, I can't delay the auspicious time." ”

Li Shi saw that the palace maid on the side was holding some children's toys and swaddling clothes in her hands, so he said: "It's better to let the third elder brother witness all this, and let the third elder brother open his eyes and look at her mother, if she does something that hurts the sky and is unreasonable, it will never end well." ”

She walked in front of Nalan and deliberately bumped into the palace maid, and the third elder brother's things fell to the ground, and she stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and ran over it.

The Hesheri clan was frightened and helped to pick it up, but was scolded by the Nalan clan: "Don't touch it, none of you are allowed to touch it." ”

"That'...... I'm leaving, Sister Nalan, you know her temper, don't take it personally. Hesheri said these words awkwardly, and followed.

Looking at the things scattered all over the ground, Nalan silently clenched his fists, and after calming himself down, he knelt down and picked them up one by one, patted the footprints on the swaddling clothes, and carefully folded them.

"Master, it looks like a holy car has come." Suddenly, her maid said to the side, "Let's go quickly." ”

Nalan's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly said: "Don't go, don't look there, turn your back." ”

As she spoke, she scattered the collected things on the ground again, rubbed the swaddling clothes on the ground again, and after a while, the people behind approached, and heard Manager Li ask: "Who is in front, the emperor has arrived, and he will not let go." ”

Nalan hurriedly got up and stepped aside to salute.

Xuan Ye sat on top of his shoulder, and when he saw this scene, he fell into the sedan chair and walked all the way to Nalan's side.

"What's going on?" Xuan Ye asked, "Why did you fall to the ground?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, it was the concubine who accidentally disturbed the emperor's holy drive." Nalan said, "These are the relics of the third elder brother, Concubine Zhao put them away, I walked here just now, and I accidentally ...... them."

"Your Majesty, no, it was Li Chang who fell." The palace maid on the side suddenly said, "Li Chang was stopped by the queen mother when they had a stomach trouble, and blamed me for harming them in order to win the holy favor, so I made a big noise, and cursed the third elder brother, and put the third brother's toy swaddling on the ground." ”

"Shut up." Nalan scolded his palace maid, hurriedly put everything away, stood on the side of the road with his hand, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you go first." ”
