"Well deserved." Xuan Ye echoed, Lan Qi's heart trembled, she didn't dare to look at him, and heard the Empress Dowager ask, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head, and hurriedly asked first: "What about your waist, let the concubine take a look, the concubine will rub it for you, it's not good to be crooked like this." ”

"You don't come to see me." The Empress Dowager complained to the two children like a coquette, "Now my Cining Palace is really pitiful, the emperor is busy all day, and he is so busy that he sent a manager Li to see me." What about you? What are you busy with, is hiding in the house to study and prepare for the top exam? Or did I offend you and provoke you to not want to see me? But no, what is there to see for an old woman, you have long disliked me. ”

Lan Qi could hear that the old man was joking coquettishly, and after following her for a long time, she also figured out the temper of the Queen Mother, and knew that she loved herself from the bottom of her heart. The emperor on the side was inexplicably serious, and hurriedly knelt on the side of the couch and said, "The grandson is not good, don't be angry with the imperial grandmother, the grandson will definitely come to you every day to greet you tomorrow." ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and sighed at Su Mala: "My grandson is busy and stupid? ”

Mama hurriedly helped the emperor to get up, and persuaded with a smile: "The master and the emperor are joking, you are so serious, the master has no steps down, I haven't seen the emperor for a few days, and the queen mother is coquettish, you can coax it." ”

But Xuan Ye didn't know what was wrong, and he couldn't change his mind when he heard Mama say this, so he snorted and said: "I'm busy, but some people don't know what they're busy with, and they don't know how to grow up all day long, so she shouldn't worry about things blindly, and she can't cause trouble for some reason, and it's too late to clean up behind her. ”

Lan Qi could stand this, and she didn't want the Empress Dowager to be wronged by her, so she said coldly: "Since the emperor is too busy to come and see me, then send Manager Li away, he can still say some nice things with a warm face to coax me, but you are here, and you don't like it with your eyebrows and left and right, is this to show your grandmother's face?" ”

Xuan Ye knelt down in response and said, "Grandson doesn't dare, the imperial grandmother is angry." ”

Lan Qi has been kneeling on the edge of the couch, not looking at him, at this moment his head is hanging deeper, almost buried in his chest, so he heard the empress dowager on the couch angry voice: "Let's go, if I am here again, I will live a few years less." ”

Mama also came to persuade her, but for a while she couldn't tell whether the master was really angry or pretending to be angry, and persuaded the emperor and Lan Qi to go, Xuan Ye kowtowed and left conveniently, Lan Qi was reluctant, but Mama kept persuading her, and she followed. But when Mama turned around, she saw the Queen Mother sitting up from the couch, pointing at her and saying, "Come and see." ”

The emperor went out on this side, and Luan drove over there didn't have time to press the sedan chair, Xuan Ye didn't care about these things, but today he didn't know why he was angry, and he lost his temper at those minions, Lan Qi happened to come out and heard it, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to move in the door, but as soon as Xuan Ye turned around, he saw her, although Huan Chun was also afraid, he still pulled his master out of the door and saluted the emperor.

"Get up." Seeing Lan Qi kneeling on the ground, Xuan Ye felt uncomfortable, but he shouted and stood up, looked at the face carefully, saw the faint scars that still existed, and suddenly became annoyed, and rushed out of his mouth after holding back words for several days, and asked her, "Why do you want to help them do those things." ”

Manager Li and Huanchun were busy scattering, but Lan Qi pursed her lips and replied, "The concubine didn't help anyone, the emperor misunderstood." ”

"Still talking back?" Xuan Ye frowned deeply, loving and hating, "The third elder brother obviously died of illness, why did you help them act in that play, I asked you to learn the skills of the harem from them, but I didn't let you form a party with them to deal with anyone." ”

Lan Qi looked up at him: "The concubine didn't help anyone, the concubine just ...... Say what you see. ”

"You!" Xuan Ye was annoyed, and approached her, "Could it be that you are so smart that day but you can't see the clues?" Didn't they come to you beforehand, who taught you the phrase 'say whatever you see', did you come up with it yourself to answer me, or did those books teach you? ”

Lan Qi's eyes are shining, she also has her grievances, she doesn't have the luxury of asking Xuan Ye to bother to understand, but she doesn't want to be looked down on by him, from being ridiculed and sarcastic in front of the Empress Dowager just now, to now asking bluntly, she once again felt that she was scolded by Concubine Tong and slapped by Concubine Tong, and it was not as painful as him glancing at her heart.

"I don't want to see you entangled in the harem, I try my best not to let Concubine Tong hate you to the point where I can't restrain you, it's better for you to hurry up and provoke her, does this slap hurt?" Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and pinched Lan Qi's cheek, obviously feeling distressed, but his mouth was still full of angry words, "You really deserve to be beaten, you live up to my hard work, and you also despise your own dignity, this slap is light." ”

"The emperor's ......" The crystal thing in Lan Qi's eyes did not fall for a long time, and the black eyes were full of unconvincing and unwillingness, and I don't know if it was in front of the door of Cining Palace, and he actually said the words in his heart, "Why is the emperor angry, is it really for the concubine?" Doesn't the emperor understand that the concubine is a permanent resident of Zhongcui Palace, and she is one of the concubines of the six palaces? The emperor thinks, how should we spend our days in the harem? ”

In a word, both sides were quiet, I don't know if it was a stalemate for a long time, Lan Qi's chin was pinched out of the red mark by Xuan Ye, the emperor finally let go, but he didn't say a word, only swept his disappointed and heartbroken gaze over her face, Luan Jia had steadily pressed the sedan chair, he sat in without looking back, Gonggong Li was stunned, shouted embarrassedly to get up, and looked at Lan Qi with puzzlement, before leaving.

Xiao Chang was trembling all over, gasping for breath, Huan Chun rushed over to help her, and couldn't help but say, "Why did the master say those words?" You admit your mistakes, why do you make the emperor angry like this, why do you bother? ”

Lan Qi's heart was pounding, as if she had just woken up at this moment, she didn't know what she had cursed and possessed just now, and if she said those words now, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to say it.

When she was breathing, she suddenly remembered that on the way to her brother's house that day, the Empress Dowager told her that the four words "respect each other like guests" were not good, and she didn't understand it at the time, but now she understands.

"I can admit my mistakes and be soft, but even if he hates me from now on, I don't want to be a hypocritical woman in front of him, I can tell jokes and coquettish to please him, but in terms of right and wrong, I also have to be worthy of my conscience." The sparkle in Lan Qi's eyes only fell at this moment, and she choked up and said, "I also know that I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that sentence that day, but the nobles had already pushed me out at that time, I didn't say it, even they should hate me, I have to live for myself, I can't always expect him to protect me." ”

Huan Chun sighed: "Why don't you say this to the emperor?" ”

"Then he has to listen to it......" Xiao Chang was very aggrieved, and suddenly sobbed, but he knew that this was Cining Palace, and he cried in front of the Empress Dowager in a dignified manner, so he was really dead, so he quickly wiped his tears and pulled Huanchun to leave in a hurry. When she was a palace maid, everyone said that she was so good and able to endure it, maybe patience is not also a kind of stubbornness, and if she can't bear it today, it's even worse.

These words, word for word, were sent to the Empress Dowager by the mother as they were, and the old man didn't flash his waist at all, chanting in front of the Buddha in a dignified manner, and only after listening to it for a long time did he get up leisurely, and helped Su Mala to smile: "People who couldn't separate so many things in the past, can they still be separated in a few words?" I'm even more afraid that they only know that they are tired of liking each other, and after a long time, they will forget each other's original appearance. Lan Qi, this little girl, is really a child who God has given me to entrust my grandchildren in the future, her humble background is good, and I know that my heart will not be higher than the sky, I only hope that in the future I will return to the West, and there will be someone who can know cold and hot by Xuanye's side for the rest of his life. It's hard to find a beautiful and pleasing woman in this world, but how many such real children can be produced in the harem? ”

Mama Su Mala sighed: "You weren't at ease before, I'm afraid that Wu Chang is pretending." ”

The Empress Dowager remembered that there was such a thing, and said happily: "Then there must be a test and a test, now I can rest assured, you are staring on both sides these days, don't let people with low eyes think that she has fallen out of favor since then to bully, as for the emperor, if there are goblins and flattering people, also watch carefully, I will not allow anyone to make waves in one day." ”

Mama smiled bitterly: "The master is so relieved, the slave and maid are distressed, in case both sides are twisted, the temper is not small, and the temper of our long-lived master will be even greater." ”

Here Su Mala Mama was still worried about Xuan Ye's temper, but she didn't know that Xiao Changzai's temper was not small, and she rushed back to Zhong Cui Palace angrily, God knows what she was wronging, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the books sent by Xuan Ye on the bookshelf in the past, as well as the paper, ink, pen and inkstone on the desk, turned around and pointed to Huan Chun and said: "Clean up all of them, I'll go to my sister's place to sit, I won't see it when I come back for a while, I won't read and write anymore in the future, you can take it if you like it, and throw it all away if you don't like it." ”

Huanchun was stunned in front of the door, watching the little master run out angrily, over there Bu Chang wanted to ask the queen mother's waist how it was, but saw Lan Qi running over with her eyebrows raised, and couldn't help but pull her into the house, Pan Xia was also stunned, and hurriedly came over to ask Huanchun what was going on, the big palace maid panted and asked incredulously: "This little ancestor...... In the years you have been in the palace, have you ever seen anyone who dares to quarrel with the emperor? ”

Here Bu Chang was listening to Lan Qi's angry words, and he was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, and pushed her to blame: "You are crazy, how dare you talk back to the emperor?" ”

In fact, she didn't know whether the third elder brother died of illness or poisoning, and the matter of the closed door that day, although there were some rumors in the palace, but Concubine Zhao knew that the top didn't like to listen to it, and she pressed it hard, Bu Chang didn't say it here, she naturally didn't know, and now she only knew that Lan Qi and the emperor were talking back, and she didn't care about asking anything specifically, so she ran to tell Huanchun: "You put away the things, it's a big crime to throw them away, not to mention what if she wants it another day." ”

Who knew that Lan Qi still came over, and said matter-of-factly: "Take it all, I won't ask for it again." ”
