In Lan Qi's memory, Concubine Wen said the most to herself, which was "I won't hurt you", and she would be a little moved when she heard such words for the first time, but after listening to it too much, it would only send chills down your spine.

"The concubine retired." Lan Qi turned around to leave, but heard Concubine Wen ask behind her back, "I make you annoying like this, why can't you get along with me like you do with Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren?" I'm thinking, the emperor likes you so much, your likes and dislikes must be similar, you hate me, is it true that the emperor will also hate me? ”

Lan Qi froze in place, Concubine Wen was talking to her, she couldn't be rude and walked away, and said with a deep heart: "How can the concubine hate Niangniang?" The emperor will not. It is the concubines who know that their identities are very different, and they are just inches, and the concubines and the nobles, who used to be under the same roof with the concubines for many years, must have a different friendship with others, and the mother is willing to make friends with the concubines, which is the blessing of the concubines. ”

"Then why did you ignore me and stay away?" Concubine Wen anxiously came up and asked, "The last time I drank tea, you never came again, is it as the palace people said, you are jealous of me for repeatedly inviting the emperor away from Yonghe Palace?" ”

Lan Qi was very helpless, and she couldn't tear her face with her, even if it didn't matter what kind of affection or difference in status she had, she couldn't say rude words to Concubine Wen. I only sighed in my heart, how good it would be if Concubine Wen could be as weak and cowardly as she was back then, such a person would still make people have a heart of protection and care, and her so-called true temperament now is really unbearable.

"The concubine won't think like this, and Niangniang, your temperament, you don't like to listen to the gossip of the palace people, since this is the case, why take the gossip seriously, and please rest assured, the concubine has never thought like that." Lan Qi slowly stepped back, and said again, "The Empress Dowager is still waiting for the concubine to reply, what advice does the concubine have, the concubine will listen to it next time, the summer has not passed, the days here are still very long, there is always a chance to speak." ”

Leaving this sentence, Lan Qi didn't care about it, the rain outside had not completely stopped, so she rushed into the rain curtain without looking back, Huan Chun, who was waiting in the distance, saw a bluff and jumped when she hit the umbrella, but the road after that was in a hurry, although she was not wet, her shoes and socks and culottes were still soaked, so embarrassed that she couldn't go to see the Queen Mother, Lan Qi could only retreat to her house first.

Bathing and changing clothes, waiting for Lan Qi to clean up, the heavy rain outside has been collected, and I saw the sun was gorgeous, and a rainbow was inserted in the clouds, but the wind blew and dispersed.

"It is said that the rainbow is a bridge to the heavenly realm, and the master is a blessed person, so he can see it, and the slave and maid are ordinary people, how can they see it." Huan Chun coaxed her with a smile, and asked if she was going to see the Empress Dowager immediately, for fear that she would be in a hurry there, but Lan Qi was lazy and pushed her and said, "I was made by Concubine Wen's mother, I was afraid that I would show my face in front of me, so you went and said that I choked on eating too much with the emperor at lunch, and I want to take a break." ”

"Then you go to the house crookedly, otherwise the Queen Mother will send someone back with the slaves and maids, and if she sees that you are good and decent, she will make a joke." Huanchun agreed, helped the bun and took the umbrella and went out, here is not as far away as the palace pavilion in the Forbidden City, back and forth in the blink of an eye, Lan Qi sat and watched Ziyu play the rope, Ziyu has not been ready, Huanchun will come back.

"The Empress Dowager has taken a nap, and Mama Su Mala is not in front of her, so the slave and maid don't talk much, thinking that you don't have to go over, it's not too late to go in the evening." Huanchun said, while putting down a big melon, said with a smile: "The slave maid went to get the well water, the day before yesterday, the long live lord said that the melon is too hot and not delicious, if you come again tonight, there will be cold food." ”

"Why do you remember everything, I don't bother to remember." Lan Qi smiled lazily, shaking the fan in her hand, thinking about the fun of the two when Xuan Ye came, she was in a good mood, and she couldn't help but think of the person she had just met.

Concubine Wen looked at her eyes without hostility, but Lan Qi couldn't stand that pitiful appearance, as if every time she looked at her, she was saying: It's okay for you to give me some from the emperor? It's not that Lan Qi is stingy, women are already sensitive to such things, not to mention that they are still women who serve a husband, this feeling is even keen, at least when Concubine Niangniang and Bu Guiren are around, Lan Qi will never think like this.

Thinking of Concubine Wen saying that Juechan was sick, she didn't care about the affairs of Xianfu Palace, but she came to Yingtai to know that she was sick, and she thought it was a natural cold and uncomfortable, and she didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that Juechan must be a heart disease.

was sighing, there was laughter outside, I heard the babbling of milk, and the concubine was laughing: "She is lazy, and now she has left the sixth elder brother with me, and I have become a senior brother." It turns out that your master is here to be used, and I am here to be the old mother's? ”

The speaker came in, Duan Concubine held Yinzuo in her arms, the little guy wanted to hug her when she saw her mother, there were tears on her face, Duan Concubine sat down and said: "I woke up and didn't see you in the afternoon, I cried so much, I hugged it." ”

"It's hard work, sister." Lan Qi coaxed his son, the little guy lay softly in Eniang's arms, it seemed that he hadn't slept enough for a nap, and he was tired and sleepy, rubbing his eyes with his hands from time to time, Lan Qi coaxed him a few times, patted lightly and really fell asleep again, and the nurse came to take it away.

"A few children are playing crazy in the morning, tired, Yinzhi and they are still sleeping, I'm afraid of waking up, so I will bring you a hug, if you are busy, I will hug you back in a while." Concubine Duan drank tea and smiled bitterly, "I have been chattering with them all morning, my ears are still ringing, and I want to take a nap, but I can't calm down." Think about it, what did the Lord of Long Live ask me to do, didn't you take the time to be an old mother? ”

Lan Qi smiled and peeled the grapes for her to eat, while saying: "Long live the lord, looking at the palace, the only one who can be entrusted with taking care of Princess Brother is my sister, I am also frizzy, the children are the most appropriate by your side, I want to let me touch it." ”

"Coax me?" Concubine Duan ate the grapes, praised them for being very sweet, and said with a smile, "Even if you coax me to be happy, Sister Rong and I are not young, and I can call Long Live Lord to remember, and my heart is sweeter than eating honey." ”

Lan Qi joked with her a few words, she didn't want to mention the words she heard when she met Concubine Wen, but she knew that Concubine Duan and Concubine Rong were close, and Concubine Rong knew the most things in the palace, so she chatted casually, and said in a hurry: "When I returned from the emperor, I met Lord Mingzhu, and I heard a few words from Gonggong Li and him, and it was appropriate to ask about their son-in-law, I only heard Lord Mingzhu sigh, and I didn't know what was wrong, their father and son were both capable ministers of the emperor, if there was anything wrong with them, the emperor should sigh." ”

Concubine Duan really knew, and she also peeled the grapes herself, while telling Lan Qi: "Before going out, Sister Rong came to explain to me about Rong Xian and Yinzhi, and talked about the eldest son of the Nalan family, saying that it was a big joke and raising a concubine in a house without permission. Do you know what the young grandmother of the Nalan family is now, and she is still married by Long Live Lord. Although this young grandmother has a good temperament, her mother's family is powerful, who can tolerate her own girl being wronged in her mother-in-law's family? If it is included in the house to be small, then another person will say, you have a foreign house to raise, two houses, is it considered equal? The people of the mother's family made a fuss in the Mingzhu Mansion, and the Mingzhu was so angry that he was half dead, but he couldn't do anything about that woman, after all, how many pairs of eyes were staring at it. ”

Lan Qi secretly sighed, there was really such a thing, and then thinking that Nalan Rongruo had traveled thousands of miles to bring it back from the south, he must have liked it very much, no wonder Jue Chan was about to fall ill when he heard it. If it is said that there is a young grandmother and a concubine in the family, whether it is given by the emperor or given by the elders of the family, it is not a woman who can make her own decisions, it is estimated that the Juechan clan can still think about it, but now the woman he brought back by himself in every possible way, if he doesn't like it, how dare he have the courage to destroy the family style and raise it outside?

Concubine Duan ate four or five grapes, called the palace maid to fetch water for her to wash her hands, and continued to chatter: "Sister Rong said that the meaning of Mingzhu Mansion is to let people send this woman back, where to go back and forth, but Nalan Rong didn't agree, saying that she would either take it home or keep it in the outer house, the father and son had a lot of trouble, and the young grandmother's mother bit it again, constantly putting pressure on Mingzhu Mansion, and she almost quarreled until the Long Live Lord came to her." Of course, how can a person who wants to save face like Ming Xiang tolerate such a thing to be called by the Lord Banzai. And Long Live Lord didn't speak, and Mingzhu leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he didn't dare to say anything wrong, so that everyone wouldn't know about it. ”

"Yes, if I hadn't listened to Gonggong Li and Lord Mingzhu say a few words today, I wouldn't have heard any rumors." Lan Qi responded, with a stirring in her heart, and said with a smile, "Then Concubine Hui must know." ”

"Of course I know, Sister Rong is still talking about most of it here by Concubine Hui." Duan Concubine sighed, "I heard that Mrs. Mingzhu used to enter the palace and walked with a swagger, but a few days ago when she entered the palace to see Hui Concubine, she sneaked away, and I heard Hui Concubine say that she cried when she saw her, saying that her son's future was ruined, and let Hui Concubine give her an idea." We are gossiping here, we don't dare to meddle in the affairs of the court, but there is a very strange thing, long live Lord used to pay more attention to Nalan Rongruo, and he was with him wherever he went, but now why don't you ignore it, I heard that he came back from disaster relief, and the emperor didn't even have a word of praise, but other disaster relief officials were rewarded, and people said that they missed him, how could it be? Something must be going on. ”

Lan Qi nodded and said, "Maybe the emperor has other plans, we shouldn't worry about this matter, but they are all women, I'm curious about what will happen to the woman that Nalan Rongruo brought back, Lord Mingzhu, don't be ruthless, what will happen to her." ”

Duan Concubine smiled: "Nalan Rongruo is a dutiful son, but this matter is really stubborn, we are all waiting to see the following." But what you said is right, they are all women, the woman from Jiangnan, don't even save her life in the end. ”
