"Ugly?" Xuan Ye's eyes widened, but among many things, it took him half an hour to select these unique pieces, but it was the hairpin that Bu Chang in that one, it was Manager Li who woke up, so he let him take it casually, but now the jewelry he chose with the time he spent reading more than a dozen folds was said to be ugly, and he was discarded.

"Yes...... It's not pretty. Lan Qi didn't dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes, it was useless to say anything now, although it was ugly in her heart, but she couldn't really say it, the Empress Dowager was angry today, and she herself was no better.

Xuan Ye let go of his hand and sat aside sullenly, Lan Qi saw that the book in his hand was beating on the edge of the kang again and again, and his heart was beating again and again, he couldn't be so deadlocked, and finally entered the door of the Qianqing Palace again, what does it mean to be unhappy and disperse, and people are kind, and he has lived up to it first.

Thinking about it, she quickly got up and walked to Xuan Ye, seeing that the emperor was unmoved, she quietly sat down beside her and clinged to it, but Xuan Ye moved in angrily and moved it inside, Lan Qi also stuck to it even closer, Xuan Ye already had a smile on his lips, but he still moved it inside, and scolded her fiercely: "What do you do when you paste it, don't you dislike my things?" ”

Lan Qi posted it again in vain, muttering: "Just dislike those jewelry, where do you dare to dislike anything else, long live the concubine in my heart." As he spoke, he grabbed the emperor's hand and put it against the door of his heart, "Are you touching, are you in it?" ”

Xuan Ye laughed, the book in his other hand slammed on her head, and he didn't feel distressed when he saw her frowning in pain, and snorted coldly: "Where did you learn these foolish words, do you think I will like to listen to them?" ”

Lan Qi was flying out of the corners of her eyes, pointing at Xuan Ye's hand that had not left the door of her heart, and her hand had already been released: "But the emperor is not willing to let go at all." ”

Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment, so he couldn't do it, so he pushed Lan Qi to hold it, and the frightened little man was tickled and laughed so much that he couldn't breathe, and begged for mercy and admitted his mistake with tears in his eyes, and the emperor let her go, but he fell down in front of him again, and kissed him with a low lip: "What happened that day, scared you?" If I don't do that, Concubine Tong will bite you again, do you also misunderstand me in your heart? ”

"Hmm." Lan Qi didn't deny it, her eyes became more and more crystalline, and she said timidly, "The concubine is afraid that the emperor will see the concubine like that, and she won't like it anymore. ”

Xuan Ye gently pinched her cheeks that finally grew a few taels of flesh, and kissed her with pity, she really wanted to hold this person in the palm of her hand and hold it in her mouth, as if she didn't like it enough, she picked it up and straightened her clothes, and said slowly: "How can I be disgusted, on the contrary, if you are stupid and let her manipulate you, I will be disappointed, those books are also for you to read in vain, and you have been praised by the imperial grandmother and grandmother for growing up." ”

"Really?"

Xuan Ye smiled deeply, and clasped it on her forehead, "Ask if it's true or fake at every turn, and those jewelry, I can't be trusted or unreliable in your heart?" ”

Lan Qi smiled sweetly: "It's too precious and reliable, so I feel unreal, and I am terrified." ”

The emperor looked at her with a smile and a word, there was a different emotion in his deep and beautiful eyes, but it seemed to be suppressed, but the smile on his lips made Lan Qi more and more incomprehensible, and people suddenly came over and said with a warm breath: "The size of the clothes, but the width is wide?" As she spoke, her eyebrows slipped slightly to her chest, and then she raised her eyes to see that Lan Qi's face was flushed, but it greatly satisfied the emperor's playfulness, and held her in his arms and said, "My Lan Qi has grown up." ”

The empty heart fell into her stomach steadily, Wu Yalanqi felt that she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life, and she would have such a blessing in this life, I don't know what her life would be like if she didn't meet the emperor, but she felt that no one would let her love her like this, and probably no one would love her like this.

After being tired of being crooked for a long time, Xuan Ye was afraid that she would not be able to help it for a while, so she coaxed her to get tea to drink, and blew the wind in front of the door for a while, and when she calmed down, she went back to the table to do serious things. I wanted to ask her to stay by her side, but Lan Qi said that the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood today, and she wanted to go back to accompany her, and wait for the emperor to come over for dinner at night.

Wu Chang came out of the Qianqing Palace here to Cining Palace, not far away Yi Gui and An Gui walked out of the garden, and the palace maid next to An Gui first saw Wu Chang there, and the two of them waited to see that Wu Ya was already going over.

"This is going to Cining Palace." An Guiren snorted coldly, "The fox spirit is the fox spirit, the fox is not the emperor, so she turned to serve the queen mother, have you heard?" Yesterday, the emperor sent someone to give her a reward, saying that she had worked hard to take care of the Empress Dowager, do you see today, won't she go into the Qianqing Palace again? Sister, we are people who do our duty, but don't want to compare with her in this life. I'm just that, Zuo is just like this, but the emperor also likes you, are you willing to be trampled on by her like this? ”

Yiguiren smiled and said, "Of course I envy it in my heart, but what else?" Before entering the palace, I figured it out, we have so many sisters, can the emperor be busy? If you don't live your life well, you can't squeeze others, my sister said, isn't it? He looked at the sun again, held the peach and said, "The hour is not early, Concubine Zhao is afraid to find it." ”

An Guiren sneered, waved his hand and said that it was better to disperse, the two of them went back to their respective residences, Yiguiren returned to Yikun Palace here, it happened that the female dependents of Niu Hulu were there, and they also entered the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival today, after the luncheon, the Empress Dowager let the relatives and noble ladies disperse to play and talk, they should be here, just hesitated to go over to show their faces, just saw Dongyun come out, and smiled respectfully: "Yiguiren is back, your sister has been waiting for a long time, and the ladies of the mother's family saw that the young lady was going out of the palace, and said that since they live in one place, Why don't you come and take a look, but you can't be found when someone brings it, Miss is in a hurry. ”

Yi Guiren was overjoyed, I didn't expect Concubine Zhao to have such a good heart, busy to the West Side Palace, sure enough, I saw my sister sitting in the waiting, just now at the luncheon far away to see the real, this time to the front, can be seen clearly, the sisters are hearty, happy to say for a while, Yi Guiren took her to thank her, and then followed the wives of Niu Hulu's family to leave the palace.

When Yigui was about to go back to his palace, a palace maid came outside to announce: "The emperor is dining in Cining Palace tonight, and Gonggong Li said that he will not turn over the brand tonight." ”

"Got it." Concubine Zhao responded, but remembered something, and called someone back to ask, "Who is waiting in Cining Palace?" ”

"I heard that Wu Chang is here."

After the palace maid answered, the hall was quiet, and Yi Guiren stood there embarrassedly, signaling to Dong Yun if she could go, Dong Yun only waved his hand to indicate that he didn't know. After a long time, Concubine Zhao seemed to be relieved, raised her eyes and saw that Yi Gui was there, so she smiled: "Can you and Wu Changzai get close?" ”

"It's not very close, I've only been to their palace once before, and they seem to be close to the Rong nobles." Yi Guiren lowered his head and replied, "Niangniang asked this, what are you doing?" ”

Concubine Zhao smiled coldly: "I just want to remind you, who is good for you to befriend, Dong Yun said that you will walk around the garden with An Guiren in the afternoon?" People like her are neither high nor low, and they love to have a broken mouth, do you want to get along with her when you have no one to interact with? ”

Yiguiren didn't dare to refute, lowered his head and continued to listen to her: "Don't always think about playing, what good can it be?" Since you can't insert it in the Empress Dowager, what about Ningshou Palace? The Queen Mother doesn't want anyone to serve her? You should always find something to do for yourself, you have nothing to do all day long, the emperor is afraid that he will be upset after watching it for a long time. ”

Yigui is slandering, no matter how upset you are, you like me more than you, where do you get the confidence to teach me?

"The Queen Mother likes to copy scriptures, and in the future, she will go over and wait on the side, you should be quiet." Concubine Zhao said impatiently, I don't know what kind of temper she sprinkled on her, she taught her for a long time before letting people go, Dongyun brought tea to persuade her, "Yiguiren's temperament, how can he sit still in Ningshou Palace, I'm afraid of upsetting the Queen Mother." ”

"I know." Concubine Zhao drank the tea and sighed, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "Did you see that little girl from Guo Luoluo's clan today?" Look at my sister again, it's really quiet, sitting on the side and not saying a word, cowardly and weakly looking upset. I thought that all the girls at their age were very powerful, and I thought that the world had really changed, the emperor always said that the Niu Hulu clan was arrogant and domineering, but our family couldn't produce a girl like this, I was afraid that I would enter the palace in the future, if I didn't have my shade, I would wait to be bullied. ”

Dong Yun smiled: "That can't be the same, Miss is from the same noble background as you, and her status is different when she enters the palace, who dares to bully her." ”

Concubine Zhao shook her head and sighed: "No matter how precious it is, there is always a priority, Concubine Tong is pressed there." ”

"But when the time comes, you will become the queen, who will dare to bully your sister?" Dong Yun whispered, "Didn't Fang Cai Fujin also say that Uncle Guo asked her to tell you, it depends on next year." ”

Concubine Zhao's dark face finally shone with a little light, and her eyes gradually condensed with pride, "Yes, why don't you wait until next year, the position in the middle palace, who else can I be." ”

However, on this side, Yi Guiren returned to his palace, closed the door and lost his temper for a while, pulled Taohong and said: "She is really getting more and more excessive, she is gentle and generous to everyone outside, and she tortures me when she closes the door, why am I so easy to bully?" This kind of person still wants to be a queen all day long, I have never seen Queen Hesheri, but look at her dignity, I also know why the emperor didn't choose her in the first place...... Ouch ......"

"Master?"

Yi Guiren was blushing and scolding, but suddenly his face tightened, he squatted down holding his stomach, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead instantly, and he grabbed his peach hand painfully and said, "My stomach hurts...... It hurts......"

Peach Hong panicked, and when she looked down and saw the bright red blood stains on Yi Guiren's skirt, she was so frightened that her soul was gone, and she immediately shouted loudly, and Yi Guiren had already fainted in pain and fell to the ground with her.

Concubine Zhao also heard the movement here, and was annoyed that the nobles were noisy, Dongyun hurried over to see the situation, and when she came back, her face turned pale with fright, and she said, "Master, the nobles have had a miscarriage." ”

"Miscarriage?" Concubine Zhao froze, "I've never heard of when she was pregnant." ”

In any case, when the imperial doctor came to heal, he determined that Yiguiren had a miscarriage, and his pregnancy was gone for more than two months.

Such a thing happened in Yikun Palace, it was a heavy blow to Concubine Zhao, after all, Yigui lived with her, and she should have taken care of this sister on the scene, but it turned out to be like this, when she came to Cining Palace to ask for guilt, Concubine Tong deliberately waited there first, standing on the side and watching her kneel in front of the Empress Dowager, the smile on her face that could not be hidden was about to pour out, but in the end, it was hindered by the majesty of Cining Palace, so she endured it well.

The Empress Dowager did not blame Concubine Zhao, in the end, it was Yigui who was not careful, Concubine Zhao was in charge of so many things in the Six Palaces, where could she be comprehensive, but she blamed herself and took all the fault on herself, or Mama Su Mala came forward to persuade for a while, and Concubine Zhao calmed down.

"You all go back, the emperor will come over for dinner in a while, he may not blame you, but he must not feel comfortable in his heart." After that, the Empress Dowager issued an eviction order, and as for Concubine Tong who came to her special place, she also turned a blind eye, the two palaces were already checking and balancing each other, and she didn't have to worry about things that were not too excessive or out of line.

Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Zhao left, Concubine Tong also followed, and specially rushed outside, and said sourly: "This kind of thing, my sister has experienced it personally, if you want to say that the Queen Mother is wrong in Yiguiren, having said that, everyone will sympathize with the person who lost the child, and my sister's son is not less distressing." It's just that Sister Zhaofei is like this now, others may have any gossip, if she says something unpleasant and frames her sister for harming Yigui and the child, it will be bad. ”

Concubine Zhao glanced at her coldly: "The first sentence of this sentence came out of my sister's mouth, if this palace hears others say it again, I only want to get you, other people's mouths can't be controlled, my own can be managed, be careful of trouble from the mouth." ”

Concubine Tong was so choked with cold eyebrows that she couldn't speak, and she wanted to greet her with a stomach full of ugly ears, but in the end, there were some things that she couldn't say because of each other's dignity, and she watched her walk away, and when she turned around, she saw Wu Yashi walking over from the pantry with tea in the door, and couldn't help but feel evil in her heart, and asked Jingzhu beside her, "She went to Qianqing Palace again today?" ”

Jingzhu helped her walk away from Cining Palace, and said softly: "I went to work for half an hour, and it was said that the Empress Dowager sent Wu Chang to ask the emperor why she ate less at the morning banquet." ”

Concubine Tong sighed: "I really don't understand this old grandmother, other nobles in the palace often have dignitaries in the family, we are serious and noble girls don't love it, I like this little slut from a low background, and she looks more and more foxy, and the more you look at it, the more angry it is." ”

In Cining Palace, Lan Qi can't hear these grievances, and the Empress Dowager has gone through three dynasties and still can't see clearly, the noble birth is given by God, but the road of a lifetime has to be walked by herself, who would let people who take the right path with a good posture not like it, and like those who love to drill into the left side door?

Because today, Prince Yu's family Fujin Gege made the Empress Dowager angry, and in the evening there was a loss of a child by a noble person, who was happy to make new clothes for the holiday, but now the old man's face is full of indifference, Lan Qi took honeysuckle lotus heart tea and invited her to drink it, but was complained and said: "You are also lazy, I love to drink date tea, and I don't eat sweet things, who wants to drink such a dull and bitter thing?" ”

After tossing for a long time, the old man relieved his spirits, knowing that he had wronged the child in front of him, and that he had obviously done nothing wrong, so he took those people to suffer his anger, pulled Lan Qi to sit beside him, and said distressedly: "You can't pretend to be sick and not come to me, and there is no good child in front of me, I really can't live long." ”

Lan Qijiao said: "The concubine is not restless, and she asked you to beat you hard last time, so she became peaceful." ”

Mama Su Mala laughed on the side: "Oh no, it's bad, we can always remember the master's hatred, do you dare to leave people in front of you?" ”

The Empress Dowager liked it very much, and finally laughed happily again: "She dares to be disobedient, and it is easy to beat her again, but she is too obedient, and she can't find fault anywhere." ”

After dinner was set outside, Lan Qi continued to tell the stories seen in the idle book to the old man, the Empress Dowager said that her eyes were not good now and she was dizzy when she saw the words, otherwise she also loved these lively stories, an old man for a long time, and Xuan Ye didn't know when he came outside, he stood in front of the door and watched Lan Qi sit on his grandmother's knees and say with his feet on his feet, his face was very cute, and he heard it stop for a while, so he went in with a smile and said: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson is hungry." ”

Lan Qi immediately wanted to get up and salute, but when she squatted on the pedal, her legs were numb, and she stumbled and fell, and was quickly supported by Xuan Ye's eyes, distressed and worried, glaring and saying, "Will you stand well?" ”

"You're murdering her again." The Empress Dowager looked at it and pulled Lan Qi to her side, "If you bully her again in the future, you will stay by my side and not give it to you." ”

Lan Qi smiled proudly at the emperor, regardless of his angry glaring at himself, he only helped the empress dowager to the dining room, and on the way, he heard the old man say to the emperor: "Go and see the noble people in a few days, there are such things in the palace one after another, and the emperor can't help but care." ”

"The grandson has sent Mr. Li to visit the sick and rewarded her with some things, it is indeed a pity that such a thing is a pity, but the children who have never seen it have no fate, and the imperial grandmother should not be too sad." Xuan Ye looked very calm, he lost the children, he saw too much, from the beginning of the sadness to now gradually faded, it is not to blame that he is ruthless, he is sorry to raise the living children, and it is serious to raise them into talents, not to mention that the top has to honor his grandmother and grandmother, and he can't put the cart before the horse.

During the meal, Xuan Ye said something about the court, the Empress Dowager mentioned a few words, Lan Qi only followed Su Mala to serve on the side and did not sit at the same table, the Empress Dowager knew that she was guarding her own proportions, and she was not reluctant, after the meal, the emperor accompanied her grandmother to walk in the courtyard to eliminate food, laughed and said that her brother blessed the trivial matters of the whole family, and persuaded her grandmother: "It is also the imperial brother who spoils those concubines too much, and the imperial grandmother should also say it when she sees him next time." ”

Lan Qi listened behind her, recalling the scene of those women kneeling under the porch this afternoon, looking at the past at this moment, it seems that you can still see their sad and resentful expressions in the open space, where there are many women, there is always trouble, this Forbidden City is just much bigger than the palace house, and it is the same everywhere.

I also think of Prince Yu's weeping appearance, and I have to be blamed by the Empress Dowager for not having the dignity of a housewife, and the difficulty of being the master of the house, how can ordinary people understand, now Concubine Zhao Niangniang is working hard to manage the six palaces, and she has to guard against Concubine Tong's run, and then think about herself Accompanying the Empress Dowager all day long, and the emperor is distressed and likes, and he lives happily every day.

was thinking about these things reverently, when he suddenly heard the emperor say, "She has always been so stupid and stupid with the imperial grandmother?" ”

Lan Qi suddenly came back to her senses, and saw that the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ye had already walked more than ten steps away, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her had also followed, and she was still standing here stupidly looking at the place where those people were kneeling in the afternoon, in a daze, the emperor followed and said, "I shouldn't let her read those books anymore, she was already stupid, and she will be even more stupid in the future." ”

Lan Qi hurriedly followed to support the Empress Dowager, but the old man happily stuffed her hand into Xuan Ye's hand, and chased them away with a smile: "Don't look at me with your eyebrows, go out for a walk, I have to rest here, Lan Qi will come back tomorrow, and I will continue to tell me the story that I didn't finish today." ”

Lan Qi Zhou Zhou Zheng saluted, and waited until the Empress Dowager entered the dormitory, only then was she pulled up by Xuan Ye, took her hand and went outside, while saying, "It's still cool tonight, and it's hot in a few days, and I'm too lazy to leave, I will send you back to Zhongcui Palace." ”

But when he arrived outside the palace gate, Lan Qi broke free from the emperor's hand, and there was a look of timidity on his face, but he still said bravely: "The emperor let the concubine go back by herself, today Yigui has such a thing, and the concubine does not dare to speculate about your mood, but you know that if Yigui knows that the concubine will accompany you for a night walk, it will be very uncomfortable." Comparing hearts to hearts, the concubine watched you and Concubine Tong walk in that day, and she felt uncomfortable, not to mention that she only had no children today. ”

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, and Manager Li on the side didn't know what to say when he heard it, and the two sides were silently stalemate for a while, and the emperor finally spoke: "You have really grown up." ”

But suddenly approached, stretched out his hand and pulled off the ruby hairpin that Lan Qi had given her by the imperial grandmother on her head, pinched it in his hand, and said childishly, "I confiscated it, when are you willing to accompany me for a walk, and I will return it to you, if you don't have any jewelry to wear, you can make do with those few pieces that you dislike, and if you dare to sue the imperial grandmother, I will throw this hairpin into the Jinshui River." ”

"Your Majesty......" Lan Qi was anxious about the hairpin, but Xuan Ye glared at her angrily, turned around and left, and did not forget to wave the hairpin behind her back.
