Rong Ruo was embarrassed, and hurriedly bent his knees to confess, Xuan Ye smiled and said that it was okay, so he sent him away, and then called Gonggong Li, saying that he was going to Yonghe Palace to sit and sit, counting that she hadn't seen Lan Qi for a long time, she asked herself to take care of the imperial concubine more, and she was attentive enough.

And this side Rong Ruo went out of the palace, thinking about the emperor's words, but when he saw the little maid in the family coming up, he said with a smile on his face: "Madame, please go home for the eldest young master, and let the little one pick you up." ”

"What's going on at home?" Rong Ruo frowned, at this moment he was bent on going back to his private house to see Shen Wan, as the emperor said, his mother would go to make trouble every few days, Shen Wan was generous and didn't care, but it was hard to guarantee that one day she would be bullied by her mother-in-law.

The little girl smiled and said, "Auntie and grandmother have returned home, and Mrs. said please go back and have a meal together." Eldest young master, you won't go back to the house for a few days, and now it's for the sake of your aunt and grandmother? ”

Rong Ruo knew that if he didn't agree, this little guy would have no good fruit to eat when he went back, and he didn't want his sister to be embarrassed, and he had the emperor's instructions today, so he went home and said to his face, his father, who wanted to save face, would definitely restrain his mother's behavior in the future, so he reluctantly agreed, and followed the little guy to the car and went home.

In Yonghe Palace, Huanchun took a plate of fresh melons and fruits into the door and put it down, recently Lan Qi couldn't smell the incense, but loved the sweetness of this fresh fruit. It's just that the concubines have a limited number of melons and fruits every day, and if they are all used to smell the aroma, it will not be enough to eat, so Concubine Rong and Duan Concubine will give out their daily distribution of some, not to mention that they can't afford to supply Lan Qi's melons and fruits, but that they can't eat them at all, and they are wasted in vain, and they don't have to get more to spend money. Saving money is something that Lan Qi is happy about, and it is also the sisters' hearts, so she gladly accepts it.

At this time, it was the news from the Qianqing Palace that the emperor was coming, and she asked Huanchun to put a few more plates of fresh ones, and said with a smile: "Tell the emperor that I made these things with my own money, so that he can reward me with some silver to buy fruits to eat." ”

Huan Chun said with a smile: "Master, why don't you think about anything else, always worry about the silver in the emperor's pocket, the empress dowager has already told you once." ”

Lan Qi just laughed, she was naturally measured, she put the washed melons and fruits in her hand, picked a few sweet and crispy ones and put them on top for a while so that Xuan Ye could eat some, the master and servant were joking, Ziyu came in from outside, and said angrily: "Master, don't wait, someone from the Qianqing Palace said that the long live Lord is not coming." ”

Lan Qi didn't care, and said: "There must be something important in the court." ”

Unexpectedly, Ziyu hated: "There is really something important, and the slave and maid don't dare to care about it." It's the one in Xianfu Palace again, the emperor has gone out to prepare to come to us, and the person who called Wen Guifei Niangniang stopped him, saying that Guifei Niangniang was not in good health, so he insisted on finding the emperor. ”

Lian Lian Chun was angry: "The concubine Niangniang is really a persimmon picky soft pinch, a while ago, Long Live Lord was in Chengqian Palace every day, how could she not say that she was uncomfortable?" ”

"What are you angry about, I haven't moved yet." Lan Qi comforted the people who felt sorry for her, and said with a smile, "The emperor is good to me, I don't care about whether he comes or not, he has to serve him when he comes, I am happy to be idle." He also said, "Since the emperor can't come, there are more preparations for dinner, go and invite Sister Bu and them to come over for dinner, and that Wan Chang is also invited, she is always very recognizable, strange and pitiful." ”

Everyone saw that the master was generous, and they no longer talked too much, but their faces were always not very happy, and it didn't take long for Concubine Rong to come over, but Concubine Rong persuaded them: "Concubine Wen is not very good, I went to see it this morning, her face is very bad, and it is not a big toss in the hospital, I heard Dongyun say that she is afraid that the old year's things will come again, and she dare not toss." ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "She's always so extreme, why bother." ”

Sure enough, as Concubine Rong said, Concubine Wen's body is not very stable, needless to say, the joy is serious, and she has been red twice, and she has scared her half to death, but it is also a false alarm, but the current false alarm is no longer her tossing and messing around to seduce the emperor to see her, and even the imperial doctor said to the emperor: "Niangniang, she must be in a good mood and recuperate in bed, I am afraid that it is caused by the short interval between miscarriages in the old year and the weakness of the body." ”

Xuan Ye listened to these few words of truth, and didn't care much about her, and there was the imperial grandmother above who hoped that he wouldn't treat her too badly, and the Niu Hulu family outside also looked at it with wide eyes, even if he was not very happy in his heart, the emperor still tried his best to care about and appease Concubine Wen, and when he came to see her quietly and gently, he was full of anxiety and timidity about his child, and his heart softened.

Accompanied to say a few words, took advantage of the darkness of the night to leave the Xianfu Palace, knowing that Lan Qi had entertained another sister, so he went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, passing by Yikun Palace, remembering that Concubine Yi was also pregnant, but her fetus was very stable, and Lan Qi had nothing to do, so he remembered the matter that the imperial doctor told the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine's child may not be able to be saved, although the cousin herself already knows, but when the mother and son are separated in the future, she will definitely be sad, Lan Qi begged him to accompany the imperial concubine more now, the same woman who worked hard to conceive in October, Lan Qi also experienced the same thing in the old years, no wonder she will empathize.

"Let's go to Chengqian Palace." Halfway through, the emperor changed his mind, and decided to accompany his cousin, and the royal driver hurriedly passed in front of the gate of Yikun Palace, and the people in the palace gate saw this movement and came in. They are all pregnant with children, I am born in peace here, but no one is distressed? It's really a crying child who has milk to eat. ”

As the night deepened, the bustle in the palace dispersed, and the streets and alleys of the capital retreated, but at this moment, there was a movement on the wide road in front of the Pearl Mansion, and a small servant was saying: "Wait, young master, the slave will give you a horsewhip." ”

With the sound of horses' hooves trampling, the man on the horse seemed to be in a hurry to go back, and before the little maid brought the horsewhip, several lanterns poured out in front of the door, and several girls and old mothers went out with the young grandmother in their arms, and the young lady was anxious to say: "If you eat wine, don't ride a horse, let someone prepare a car to send you back." He scolded those minions, "Hurry up and prepare the car, the uncle has drunk, why are you still allowed to ride a horse." ”

The sound of the horse's hooves was messy, Rong Ruo seemed impatient, and he was a little drunk, and said vaguely: "It's okay, you go back, I'll leave." ”

The young lady persuaded: "I won't stop you if you want to go, but it's really not good for you to ride a horse after eating, what do you have on the way, I still have Ama Eniang at home, you let Shen Wan alone, how can it be good?" ”

But before Rong Ruo responded, many people poured out of the door, and the housekeeper shouted to his subordinates: "The master ordered, please invite the young master back quickly, you are blind, how can the young master ride a horse after drinking, hurry up." As soon as he gave the order, many small servants rushed up, leading the horses and pulling the people, and actually carried Rong Ruo back with all hands and feet, and the young lady was so shocked that she followed all the way and said, "Be careful, don't hurt him." ”

The person was carried directly back to the inner room and put on the bed, and Mingzhu followed, because it was inconvenient for the father-in-law to enter the daughter-in-law's room, he only said coldly outside the door: "Nalan Rong, if you dare to walk out of this door again, I will go to the result of that Shen Wan now, will you try?" ”

The young lady hurriedly came out to persuade the old man not to be angry, Mingzhu felt sorry for her virtuousness, comforted a few words before leaving, and it didn't take long for Mrs. Mingzhu to come over, help clean up the drunken son together, take the daughter-in-law's hand and say: "Look at Eniang's face, don't be sad for him, sooner or later Eniang will clean up that Shen Wan and give you justice." ”

The young lady was generous, and said gently: "The daughter-in-law still hurts you and Amma, that Shen Wan is really pitiful when she leaves her hometown and has no relatives, and she should be hurt if she is loved." The daughter-in-law wanted them to move back, and the sisters could take care of them, and they had children, but they were stubborn, and no one could do anything. ”

Mrs. Mingzhu sighed again and again: "You can't do this, in the future, this family will be in your hands, you have to learn more to suppress those minions." ”

The young lady smiled: "Sister Yan is here." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu shook her head: "You are the mother of the family." ”

Rong Ruo, who was drunk while talking, whispered in a dream, vaguely didn't know what to say, Mrs. Mingzhu told a few words to leave, the young lady sent to the door, closed the door herself, turned around to look at her drunk husband, bit her lip slightly, walked over and blew out the candles one by one, and when she approached the bed, she had already untied the placket on her chest with one hand.

When the drunk person was gently teased, he was emotional, and when Rong Ruo was unconsciously at home with his wife*, in a private house in a corner of the capital, the candle was not extinguished all night. Shen Wan sat under the window and waited for her husband to return, until a servant who went to inquire about the news came to report, and the girl came to persuade: "You rest, uncle won't come back tonight." ”

Shen Wan closed his eyes and sighed, and then ordered: "Close the door and lock it, and open the door before the morning of the uncle tomorrow morning, maybe he will come back early in the morning." ”

The people didn't believe it, but they didn't dare not do what they were told, they didn't want to be as Shen Wan expected, before dawn the next day, there was movement in front of the door, Nalan Rongruo ran back with a body of wine that had not yet dissipated, and went straight into Shen Wan's house.

And his movement alarmed Shen Wan, who was sleeping lightly, Rong Ruo held a candle in her hand, and the candlelight shone on her clear and gentle face, but seeing a quiet and elegant smile on her lips, the sleepy-eyed woman asked gently: "So early?" ”

Rong Ruo put down the candle and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to help Shen Wan up, but was gently pushed and said, "Why don't you wash it, the smell of wine all over your body, do you want to go up to the court like this?" You go first, and I'll come here. ”

Rong Ruo was helpless, left with a smile, called the girl outside to fetch water, and when she was young, she saw Shen Wan come out with a piece of clothing, her hair was loose, her sleeves were half rolled up to reveal her jade-like arms, her slender onion fingers teased the water to try hot and cold, and she quickly twisted a handkerchief to hand it to Rong Ruo, but Rong Ruo didn't take the handkerchief, she held Shen Wan's hand, and said distressedly: "You have never touched the spring water with your fingers, but you do these things for me." ”
