"The concubine heard Yuan promise that Wang Chang was not having a good time with her in the past, so she will intensify her bullying now." Xiao Wang lowered his eyes and said softly, "The concubine hates her in her heart, but when she thinks that her family is taken care of by her uncle, forget it." She didn't come to see the sky, probably not happy in her heart, and then she remembered her concubine. ”

Lan Qi likes to deal with people who understand, so she doesn't need to talk around the corner, so she asks her directly: "You are so good-looking, if the emperor likes you in the future, when you become a celebrity in front of the holy driver, will you become like her now?" ”

Xiao Wang's eyes were confused, and he shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine wants to be a good person." ”

The Wang family and the Yuan family at that time also looked like innocent and pitiful rabbits, who would have thought that they would become what they are today, and those who once looked down on them as Han women, bullied and excluded them, and now none of them are better off than them, the things and people in the Forbidden City, often can't distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, and it is not easy to keep themselves in a clear state of mind.

Lan Qi looked at her with a smile: "Wang Chang is pregnant now, the emperor can't be left without someone to serve him, maybe the emperor will think of you after a while, and you have to take advantage of the days in the future." ”

Xiao Wang left from his seat and said prostrately: "Niangniang is good to the concubine, the concubine is unforgettable, but the concubine does not want to become the emperor's favorite person." Although Yuan promised that if she wanted to stop being bullied by her, the best way was to let herself replace her, but then she would give up easily? The concubine thought that she would only become more and more entangled, and the concubine would not be able to get rid of her in the future. ”

Lan Qi bowed: "You think very clearly. ”

Seeing that her words were understood by Concubine De, the princess had a smile on her face, and said firmly: "There are so many concubines in the palace, and the emperor has no shortage of ministers and concubines to serve, Niangniang, do you say?" ”

Lan Qi said: "The emperor is not short of you to serve, but what if the emperor orders you?" She motioned for Xiao Wang to get up, and said with a smile, "I saw you in thin clothes in Xianfu Palace that day, and let the people below inquire about it, only to know that you are often bullied." Since I am the assistant of the sixth house, it is also my duty to let you live in peace, I have been negligent in the past, and I can't be careless in the future. I sent you a few things urgently, but I came here today because I knew that she was coming to bully you. ”

"Mother's ......"

"Even if you have a low status, you are still the emperor's woman in the Forbidden City, even if you are inferior and inferior, you can't resist her, and don't let yourself become anyone's slave. Here, you have only one master, and that is the emperor. Lan Qi was up, as if he was leaving, waiting for a few people from Huanchun to come to wear the kung fu of Daqi, and smiled at Xiao Wang, "If you are in trouble today, I can reach out to save you, and if you are bullying people in the future, I can also use family rules to govern you." Remember what you said today, I won't let others bully you anymore, but how you will live in the future is all up to you. ”

Xiao Wang's family is smart, every word and proverb is in his heart, and he bows deeply and says: "Remember, concubines." ”

Everyone hugged Concubine De Niangniang to go out, Lan Qi signaled her to stay and not go, after all, Wang Changzai was still standing in the tuyere outside, Lan Qi walked outside, only to deliberately make the appearance of remembering her, and when she arrived in front of Wang, she said with a smile: "I was happy with your cousin, but I forgot about you." ”

It took a lot of effort for the woman to pluck her hair and change her clothes, and then she talked to Lan Qi, and she sat for half an hour, Wang Changzai was standing under the eaves in a single dress, and the northwest wind froze her beautiful face to a piece of white and a piece of red, and she was trembling all over, and she wanted to talk back at this time, and she couldn't even move her mouth.

"Go back early, you are pregnant, and the road is slippery in the snow, so be careful." Lan Qi gently put down this sentence, and left with the people around her, only waiting for all the people in Yonghe Palace to be gone, and the people who were with Wang Changzai rushed up, and wrapped Wang Changzai tightly with a big coat, several palace maids hugged her together, and they couldn't hold her body down, everyone was so bluffed that they wanted to declare the imperial doctor, and they were in a hurry to carry her back, and the group left in a mess, and the courtyard was suddenly quiet.

Xiao Wang's leaning on the door secretly looked at these scenes, and the little palace maid behind him came up and said: "Wang Chang's child in the womb, will it be fine, will Concubine De be implicated?" Will Concubine De put the blame on us? ”

"How so? Niang Niang is not that kind of person. She frowned and said, "So many people are watching, not to mention someone like my cousin, if she has this opportunity to bite Concubine De, will she let it go easily?" ”

Sure enough, within half a day, the palace spread that Concubine De Niangniang punished the king often standing in the snow in single clothes, freezing her with a high fever, and the fetus in her belly was also in danger.

The Queen Mother sent someone from Ningshou Palace to interrogate, asking Lan Qi why she punished Wang Changzai, the Queen Mother was not to blame her, but in case anything happened to the child in Wang's belly, Lan Qi would become a sinner, annoyed by her noble status, why bother with a Chang Zai. Lan Qi personally went to the Queen Mother to explain, the mother and son talked for a while, and when she came out of Ningshou Palace again, she met Sister Rong halfway.

Concubine Rong also said that, and said anxiously: "I was afraid that they would bluff, so I took a special look, Wang Chang blushed on his face and touched his hot hands, you said that this is really a good thing, how do you explain the emperor?" ”

Lan Qi said coldly: "I just asked her to wait outside, I didn't tell her to wear only single clothes, she can't think of dressing warmer, what does it matter to me?" Sister rest assured, if the emperor really cares, I also have these words, it doesn't matter if he wants to spoil his woman, but I still have to take care of the peace of the six palaces, otherwise let them take care of it, and we will be quiet. ”

Concubine Rong was disgusted: "You can't talk to the emperor about anything, so rushed, you can say it to me." Don't be too presumptuous, he's the emperor. ”

Lan Qi knew that Concubine Rong was kind, and half of the words just now were jokes, and said seriously at the moment: "I didn't do anything wrong, let's take a look first, maybe she just got hot after being frozen, and it would be good to relieve her for a while?" This matter has nothing to do with Sister Rong, you are watching from the sidelines, if I am really punished by the emperor, will you help me again? ”

Concubine Rong said: "You came out of Ningshou Palace, and you already took the gold medal in your hand, if the emperor cares about you, and the queen mother is there, isn't it?" ”

The two smiled heartily, separated halfway, Lan Qi returned to Yonghe Palace, and after only half an hour, someone came to Qianqing Palace.

Liang's apprentice came and said that the emperor asked Concubine De if she was freezing, and Lan Qi answered that she was fine, and the eunuch would go back to restore her life. Huanchun sent the people away, and came back worriedly: "Niangniang, why did the emperor come to ask you if you were frozen, just like that, there is nothing else, the slave is not steady." ”

"Probably he thought we were talking together in the snow." Lan Qi hugged the thick velvet blanket and lazily turned to the side and asked, "How is Qixiang Palace there?" ”

Huan Chun hated: "The imperial doctor went in and out, looking at the bluffing, and the slave maid inquired that Wang Changzai was very bad, but who knows if it is true or false." She knelt down on her master again and said, "But the concubine Niangniang sent the news to the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor didn't even send anyone, let alone the holy driver in person." ”

"Hmm." Lan Qi responded lazily, "If he goes, don't think about entering the door of Yonghe Palace." ”

Huanchun was taken aback by this, and didn't dare to ask more, seeing that the master was sleeping, he quietly left, and ordered the little palace maid to stay in front of the door and listen, she and Luzhu and a few people were talking in the ear room, while sending someone to inquire about the movement in Qixiang Palace, but the news that slowly came back changed the direction of the wind.

Originally, those who studied carefully why Concubine De Niangniang punished Wang Changzai, gradually spread about Wang Changzai's abuse of the palace concubines, and made a voice in one place, and several places followed, presumably there must be Yuan Yu who added fuel to the fire, for a while, the palace was talking about why Concubine De Niangniang blamed Wang Changzai, and now it is rumored everywhere that she is ruthless and bullying, which is even worse than the noble people in the past.

At the beginning, the noble people were rampant and domineering, but she was born like that, and she relied on the dignity of her family background, but in fact, the emperor at that time did not look at the little Hesheri clan at all, she was not favored, and it was much simpler for others to hate her. Later, she was favored, but she was much more restrained, and in the eyes of the palace people, she lost her son and was killed by assassins, and now she has a little more compassion for her.

But Wang Changzai, a woman who was sent in as a gift, not only gained favor, but also gave birth to a prince, snatched the favor of those noble concubines, and compared them all, plus she now has no one in her eyes, and even viciously abuses the palace concubines, and the hatred of others for her is much more complicated and profound.

When it was getting dark, the imperial doctors of Qixiang Palace seemed to be no longer so lively, and they always said that Wang Changzai was frozen, and he didn't say how the fetus was, it seemed that it was nothing serious, but the concubine was nervous and stared at it all the time. The discussion in the palace gradually subsided, they tossed for a long time to see the excitement, except for the Qianqing Palace sent people to Yonghe Palace, the emperor did not make a sound, until everyone almost doubted what was going on with Wang Chang's favor, the emperor did not hurry to send Liang Gonggong to Qixiang Palace to inquire.

But on the other side, the imperial dining room has already sent the food to Yonghe Palace, and the imperial chariot has been prepared in front of the Qianqing Palace.

After Lan Qi got up from a good night's sleep, she saw Zhang Luo preparing a meal outside, but she was impatiently watching from the sidelines, waiting for the emperor to arrive, she looked outside, and waited inside the door with Huanchun and a few people, Huanchun couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, don't we go out to pick up the car?" ”

Lan Qi said: "Didn't the emperor say that don't stand outside when it's cold?" ”

While talking, Xuan Ye came in with a cold air, and when he saw her, he smiled: "I really sent the thirteenth and fourteenth to accompany the Queen Mother, let's have a clean meal." ”

Lan Qi untied Xuan Ye's body, and the palace maid handed over the hot handkerchief, she took it and wiped Xuan Ye's hands, then pulled him into the house, and said, "Why did you put the imperial food over again, and you don't like to eat it." ”

Xuan Ye followed behind her and said, "I want to have such a big posture, it looks swaggering enough, lest they stretch their necks one by one to look at it, and it's pitiful." ”
