When the Empress Dowager heard the imperial concubine say this, she was not pleased, but reminded: "Just say it in front of me, in front of others, you have to know what to say and what not to say, you have to have your own majesty and dignity, don't let people see through your mind at every turn." I know that you must have an explanation for the Wulanala family, how to speak, weigh it yourself, don't lose the royal dignity, there are many good girls in the world, it's not that the daughters of their family don't marry. ”

"Concubines remember." It is rare for the imperial concubine to show such a five-body convincing, Lan Qi watched from the sidelines, knowing that she was for the fourth elder brother. As the Empress Dowager said, the imperial concubine has always worked hard for the fourth elder brother, and her own faults and shortcomings are difficult to change, but she did not allow the fourth elder brother to be contaminated with these, every time she thinks of these, Lan Qi does not regret the original decision, maybe the imperial concubine will never know that the fourth elder brother will go to the Chengqian Palace is her wish, maybe this is better.

The two of them withdrew from the dormitory together, and happened to see Yuxi and Wen Xian holding hands and following Su Mala from the small kitchen, Yuxi was older than Wen Xian, leading her sister like a big sister, the little princess was grabbing pastries in her hands to eat, and she reached out from time to time to wipe off the dim sum crumbs that rubbed on Wen Xian's face.

When Wen Xian saw them, he hurriedly ran over and raised the pastries in his hand high: "Ama has given a lot of delicious food, and the imperial concubine will eat it together." ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said a few words to her, seeing Yuxi standing behind her obediently, she still liked it very much in her heart, and remembered that the empress dowager came to her to dine together, and the children who left at this moment may be strange, Lan Qi saw her hesitation, so she said: "Niangniang, let's talk to the children for a while, the concubine will prepare dinner, and the empress dowager will use it later." ”

The imperial concubine didn't speak, Lan Qi walked away, looking at her familiar appearance in Cining Palace, and looking at the posture of the palace maid and eunuch in Cining Palace who obeyed Concubine De's words, she raised her eyes and looked around at everything in this palace, and her heart was mixed.

She has not forgotten her past evil, once upon a time she said to Wu Ya Lanqi still in her heart, every time she thinks about it, there is a chill on her back, she doesn't dare to face her former self, but her former self can't be erased, and even every time she sees Concubine De, she thinks, does she still remember those words?

After dinner, Lan Qi has to wait for the Empress Dowager to sleep, the imperial concubine does not have to do these things, so she took Yuxi and Wen Xian back to Chengqian Palace, and when Lan Qi came back, she happened to meet the imperial concubine and his party on the palace road, she just sent Wen Xian back to Ningshou Palace, and when she saw Lan Qi at this moment, she said coldly: "You stay in Cining Palace every day, don't you think about the little princess?" As soon as I passed by your door, I heard the cry of a child. ”

Lan Qi was measured in her heart and responded calmly: "The nurses are well-trained, and they can take care of their children better than their concubines, and the concubines are very relieved." ”

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows, shook the fan in her hand and walked up slowly: "In the end, Cining Palace can't do without you, isn't it?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Lan Qi responded, but muttered in her heart, what's wrong with the imperial concubine?

The two approached, Lan Qi lowered her head slightly, feeling that the imperial concubine was looking at herself, lanterns in the summer are easy to attract mosquitoes, and the little eunuch is holding the lantern to guide the way far away on the road, with the guidance of the moonlight and lanterns, at this time the imperial concubine looks at her, and can only rely on the hazy moonlight, Lan Qi can vaguely see the embroidery of the imperial concubine's skirt, presumably the imperial concubine can also see her face and expression clearly at this moment.

The imperial concubine stood up, the fan in her hand shook for a while, and she said slowly: "How is the queen mother's health?" There have been rumors in the palace recently, saying that the Empress Dowager's body is not very good, and you should know best if you are by your side every day. ”

"As Niangniang can see, the Queen Mother is very good." Lan Qi replied, "The Empress Dowager is old, so naturally she can't compare with a young person, or she has a headache, brain fever, and back pain, which should also be a matter of age, and the people in the palace are too fussful." ”

"Do you remember what I said to you before?" The imperial concubine suddenly came out of nowhere, Lan Qi couldn't help but raise her face to look at her, the imperial concubine had said a lot, how did she know which one it was?

The imperial concubine frowned slightly, coughed dryly and said: "In the past, I was young and short-sighted, and even a little narrow-minded, I am ashamed of what I said, but you have always been praised for your tolerance and generosity, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

When Lan Qi heard this, she was shocked, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the moonlight in the sky, the moon should also rise in the east today, it is really unusual for the imperial concubine to be able to say words of reflection and enlightenment to people.

"You have to take good care of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here, so that she can take care of you and take care of our fourth elder brother, you are the biological mother of the fourth elder brother after all, you have to think about him, in the blink of an eye, the sixth elder brother has been gone for almost a year, you still don't know if you can have a son in this life, Yinzhen is your only reliance in the future, so from now on, everything you do, you must focus on him." The imperial concubine's words were obviously prepared, and she spoke unhurriedly, and she was more convincing than her previous impatient posture.

"Niangniang's words have been written down by the concubine." Lan Qi understands that no matter what she thinks of the imperial concubine's actions in her heart, she must agree, otherwise the conversation will be endless this month.

"Write down more than just words, you have to do it with your heart." The imperial concubine smiled slightly, seemed to be satisfied with Lan Qi's reaction, shook her fan and looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed faintly, "Tomorrow will inevitably be sunny again, when will this hot day pass?" ”

When the two sides dispersed, Lan Qi thought all the way about what the imperial concubine said tonight, and came to visit her sleeping little daughter after bathing and changing clothes, her little girl was not as beautiful as her two sisters when she was born, but her simple face was very pleasing, looking at the child can always forget her troubles, and when she walked into her house, she raised her eyes and saw where Yinzuo used to live, and her heart twitched, it had been a year, but how did she feel that Yinzuo was still coquettish in her arms yesterday?

Huan Chun saw that the master's face was not good, and he knew that he would inevitably touch the scene again, so he thought of something else to distract her attention, and when she talked about the imperial concubine just now, Lan Qi changed her mind and said to her: "What did you say about Niangniang, she came to me with a good sense to say this, could it be that the words of the Empress Dowager today made her wake up to something?" ”

While listening to Huanchun say strange, Lan Qi thought about the words of the imperial concubine repeatedly, and suddenly a spirit, compared to her that she wanted to take good care of the queen mother, so that the old man's family would live a hundred years, and suddenly remembered that the invincible little concubine Tong had said to herself, saying that the queen mother did not know when she would drive to the west, and when the time came, see who else could support her, and then see why she Wu Ya Lanqi was still proud in this palace. To put it bluntly, Concubine Tong once hoped that the Empress Dowager would die as soon as possible.

When it comes to it at this moment, Huanchun is also sighing: "This year after year, the imperial concubine has simply changed a person." ”

"Yes, rummaging through the old accounts, she didn't torture me less, now no one in the palace dares to toss people like this, she let me stand barefoot in the cold, and Sister Duan Concubine also lost her child more or less because of that incident, and she still hates her." Lan Qi smiled bitterly, sat in front of the mirror and looked at her face, although she was still young, after all, she couldn't compare to the appearance of the little girl ten years ago, the years will leave a mark, and she will inevitably take away something, she can't help but sigh, "If the imperial concubine can really abandon everything that has been, it is really a blessing for the fourth elder brother, there is nothing wrong with her words, I want to think about Yinzhen well, Yinzuo is gone, and I owe Yinzhen in the first place, and I should be more attentive to him." ”

"Niangniang don't say anything that you owe the fourth elder brother, the slave maid feels that the fourth elder brother is very calm and calm in the face of you and the imperial concubine, and knows how to face the biological mother and adoptive mother." Huanchun comforted her and said, "You and the imperial concubine are both parties involved, you may not be able to understand it, the slaves and maids are watching from the side, the fourth elder brother is really a very caring child." ”

"Really?" Lan Qi finally showed a little smile, and gradually began to be able to transform her sadness for Yinzuo into a vision for Yinzhen's future, but she was still a little unwilling to say, "I really want to give him another brother, the brothers of the same mother are always different, and they will become the emperor's left and right arms in the future, and they will have to face more things." ”

This night, Lan Qi slept quite steadily, but in the middle of the night seemed to hear someone talking outside, because he was too tired to support a whole day in Cining Palace, he turned over and fell asleep in a daze, and the next morning when he was dressed up, Lu Zhu responded: "It's someone from Jingyang Palace, saying that Zhang promised not very comfortable, Concubine Rong said that Huanchun's sister Rouge's sour plum is good, and sent someone to ask for some, Niangniang is really bothered, and she took care of Zhang Promise in the middle of the night." ”

Lan Qi said that it was still early to go to Cining Palace, and she wanted to go to Jingyang Palace to see Zhang Promise, and when she came, she happened to see that the imperial doctor had arrived, so she talked to Concubine Rong and waited for the results of the diagnosis and treatment.

When Lan Qi went to Cining Palace and said what Zhang promised, the six palaces also knew the news that she was uncomfortable, and the Ping nobles who had been grounded for a spring and didn't even expect to be able to go out in the summer could also know from the well-informed palace maid, while viciously cursing Zhang Jia's family for not being able to give birth to this son, and hating on the other hand: "It must be a deliberate trouble, so that the people in the palace can continue to watch my jokes, as long as she Zhang promises not to be born, I can't raise my head, right?" ”

turned around and looked at the faint scar on his forehead in the mirror, and said resentfully: "It's better to kick her in the stomach at the beginning, anyway, no one knows that she is pregnant, and they still kill me?" ”

This is naturally angry words, if the noble person really kicked out the child that Zhang promised, whether she knew it or not, it was a terrible sin, how could she still be alive at the moment, and she would not be satisfied with cursing others.

While she was scolding, a palace maid came in from outside the door, presented a delicate gilt box with both hands, and said: "The thing sent by Changchun Palace is said to be an ointment for scarring, Concubine Hui Niangniang asked the noble people to try it, don't leave a scar on your forehead." ”
