It turned out that it was for this matter, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office came to disturb Concubine De Niangniang when it was dark, saying that it was the emperor's will today, on the one hand, it was to upgrade the specifications of Wang Changzai's use, and on the other hand, let Wang Changzai move out of the original courtyard and move to the east side hall of Qixiang Palace in the West Sixth Palace, and live there in the future.

"Today's will?" Lan Qi frowned slightly, raised her eyes to look at Huanchun, Huanchun also shook her head and said that she didn't know, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office said diligently and cautiously, "It's Gonggong Liang's personal message in the afternoon, and the slave thinks that Niangniang already knows." ”

"Got it." Lan Qiying, seeing that there was no other mistake, sent them to hand it to Concubine Rong Niangniang early tomorrow morning, just look at it again, Huanchun sent it out, by the way, asked a few words, and told the master when he came back, "This is indeed what the emperor meant, I heard that the emperor ate the crab roe lion head sent by Wang Chang at lunch, and he liked it for a while, so he gave this reward." ”

"Now is the time when the crab is plump, this lion's head is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, I also tasted it during the southern tour, no matter how fine the chefs in the palace are, they don't have that taste." Lan Qi lowered her head and smoothed the folds on her skirt, touched the delicate embroidery, and murmured, "Your Majesty, he is an outstanding person who really likes Jiangnan." ”

Huanchun asked softly: "Niang Niang is jealous?" Do you want to say that the emperor really likes Wang Changzai? ”

Lan Qi glanced at her: "It's nothing, I'm going to have some jealousy with Xiaochang, when he is good to me, he doesn't have anything to do with others, he has been here for most of the month for a while, and others are not so blessed." ”

These words are reluctant and sour, as if Xuan Ye will come to Lan Qi when he has something, and he will be free outside when he is fine, but she can only wait bitterly, waiting for Xuan Ye to think of her, so that she can enjoy the lingering behind closed doors, this love is helpless after all.

Huanchun saw that the master was unhappy, so he comforted her and said: "The slave thinks that the emperor will not ignore the palace rules like this to the person he really likes. Although only a few of you can see the accounts of the Internal Affairs Office, but the palace maid and eunuch go to receive the master's division every month, or send something over there, how many pairs of eyes look at it, if the number of things sent to Qixiang Palace is different, sooner or later the people in the palace will know, and then there will be ups and downs, why should the emperor do this? ”

Lan Qi also felt strange when she heard it, and from a negative point of view, Xuan Ye really liked Wang Chang to do such a strange thing, but on the positive side, Xuan Ye may have other intentions. Yuan promised to pretend to be crazy and stupid and the rag doll in Nightmare Town Lan Qi mentioned to Xuan Ye that the emperor may be making a fuss about this, but Wang Chang didn't say anything about the cassia son by mistake, and now she and Yuan promised to leave, if Cassia is really what Yuan promised to let her eat, this matter is over.

"Is there anyone living in Qixiang Palace?" Lan Qi asked.

"Yes, it's the concubine who lives there, but it hasn't been long, it seems that she only moved in two years ago." Huan Chun responded, "There are still two promises living in the backyard, both of them are people who have years in the palace, and they don't show their faces in front of the emperor, and the slaves and maids can't remember their appearance." ”

Lan Qi said: "It looks like it's quite lively there, what did the emperor do when he stuffed such a quiet person as her to Qixiang Palace?" She suddenly found comfort in her heart, although there are more and more concubines now, but there are still vacant palaces in the palace, what does Xuan Ye do to send Wang Chang to the concubine, although the concubine is not favored, but she has always been uneasy and loves to cause trouble, and that mouth is often unforgiving, looking back at Wang Chang in favor and favor, can she feel good in her heart? Why did Xuan Ye do this?

Huan Chun saw that the depression on Lan Qi's face dissipated, and said with a smile: "Is the master feeling better now, it seems that the emperor does not want to favor Wang Changzai, but to put Wang Changzai in the tiger's den and wolf's den......"

"Nonsense." Lan Qi stretched out her hand and twisted Huanchun's cheek, "Who allows you to speak ill of the emperor?" ”

Huan Chun smiled: "Don't you think so in your heart? ”

"Naturally, I want to." Lan Qi laughed at herself, "How can I have a broad mind, I'm just a little woman in my bones." No matter, I just think he is not sincere, even if he deceives himself. ”

As long as Huanchun is happy, she can't care about others, so after talking about this matter at this moment, she asked more heartily: "Do you want the slave to go and see what Yuan promised?" This incident must also have had an impact on Yuan's promise. ”

Lan Qi waved his hand: "Father-in-law Liang is watching there, he will send a message, but Xing'er is there, you often ask Lily of the Valley, she is pregnant with a child, you have to be careful everywhere." While holding his cheeks and thinking about it, he muttered to himself, "The first month is about to be born, and I haven't figured out how to let her keep this child." ”

Huanchun reminded: "The slave maid thinks that it may not be easy for Zhang to promise this child if it is an elder brother, and it will be easier if it is a princess." ”

Lan Qi nodded and said cluelessly, "It's not easy. ”

This night, it is said that the Qianqing Palace still turned over Wang Changzai's brand, she has always been favored after entering the palace, but it is not surprising, but the next day before dawn, Wang Changzai moved to the east side hall of Qixiang Palace with great fanfare, and the palace was lively for a while, and the women were not jealous for these things for a while.

Concubine Rong read the list sent by the Internal Affairs Office early in the morning, came over after breakfast, and asked Lan Qi if she had found that Wang Changzai's use had raised the specifications of the nobles, Lan Qi said that she knew, and she was about to go to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, and she walked slowly side by side with Sister Rong, talking to each other about this matter.

Now in the late autumn season, there is a little chill in the morning, Lan Qi went out when Huanchun added a shoulder, Concubine Rong also added clothes, the sisters walked to Ningshou Palace, saw a soft sedan chair in front of them, the concubine came down from the sedan chair, and behind the sedan chair, hurriedly followed the other palace concubines, Lan Qi saw Wang Chang at a glance. Wang only had a thin red coat on his body, and he was in a hurry to hold the hand of the palace maid, and in this cold season, his face was flushed, and he was sweating.

Everyone went to the second concubine to salute, and Concubine Rong asked, "Why did you come early in the morning, and the Queen Mother didn't want you to come here to ask for peace." ”

Everyone in the palace knows that except for the four concubines, or just Concubine Rong and Concubine De, other concubines do not need to go to Ningshou Palace every day to settle down in the morning and dusk, the Queen Mother is troublesome, too lazy to see so many people, only at critical moments will she summon the Sixth Palace, and the concubines are not allowed to come to Ningshou Palace casually on weekdays, and it is indeed strange to rush over early in the morning today.

The concubine said with a smile: "There is one more person in the palace of the concubines, and the emperor rewards Wang Chang to move to Qixiang Palace, but I am afraid that the two mothers don't know yet, right?" At this time, the concubine brought her to thank the queen mother, and let the sisters in the palace know that the princess will be there in the future. ”

Concubine Rong and Lan Qi glanced at each other, Lan Qi called Wang Chang to step forward, and said gently: "Concubine Niangniang is cheerful, Qixiang Palace is a lively place, where every day is happy, it is an excellent place in the palace, in the future, you have to obey the control of Niangniang, don't lose the face of Qixiang Palace." ”

And Concubine Rong stepped forward to enter the door with the concubine, leaving Lan Qi and Wang Chang here, deliberately taking the concubine to take the first step, and said to her: "The emperor puts a favored young man by your side, don't feel uncomfortable in your heart, you don't want to think about her being so favored, sooner or later you will have an heir, if you have a man and half a woman, you will be raised under your knees in the future and a dependent." ”

The concubine sneered: "Sister Rong's intentions, the concubine understands, it's a pity that a child born to a Han woman, what can the concubine rely on?" ”

"Silly words, the little princess that Yuan promised to give birth to likes it so much, and holds it like a baby. It doesn't matter who gives birth to it, as long as it's a prince and princess, it's a baby. You're not young, what's the matter, you still expect yourself to be born? ”

Concubine Rong said bluntly, and the concubine was very uncomfortable listening to it, but the reality is true, she has no hope in this life, there are children born in the palace over the years, and it is never her turn to ask for one, and now the emperor throws a new favorite by her side, if there is a man and half a woman, it is easy to get up before the water.

"I know your temperament, you can't rub sand in your eyes, but don't rub Wang as sand, it's the pearl on the tip of the heart of Long Live Lord, you have to hold it. Otherwise, if you give her a grievance, if she blows two pillow winds, you are not afraid of the replacement of the lord of Qixiang Palace? Concubine Rong said some powerful words to bluff the concubine, and kindly persuaded her, "Anyway, whether she is favored or not, you have no grace, why struggle too much, make some troubles, it will not benefit anyone." We have been sisters for more than ten years, I have said all the good and bad things, if there is something in the future, don't blame me for doing things according to the rules, there is no sisterhood in my eyes. ”

The concubine knew Concubine Rong's wrist, and hurriedly lowered her face and said: "The concubine is telling the truth to the mother, you can't think of the concubine so badly, they are all people who serve the emperor, what does the concubine do to mean her, the concubine knows it, you can rest assured." However, I also hope that she can settle down and not cause trouble for her concubines. ”

Later, Lan Qi and Wang Changzai also came up, Wang Changzai was thinly dressed, sweating and stopping to blow the cold wind, his face was very ugly, and he said a few words in front of the Queen Mother, people were dizzy when they looked at it, and the Queen Mother was very unaccustomed to her weakness, and sent away impatiently, leaving Concubine Rong and Lan Qi, but it was mentioned that the draft in the palace was carried out, and what she said was what the former Queen Mother taught her: "Every three years, newcomers continue to enter the palace, in order not to let the emperor alone in the special room to raise the climate, the concubines in the palace, One or two of you have the final say, it's enough. Although the words are ruthless, but once the mourning period of Queen Xiaoyi is over, you can't help but take the matter of the draft to heart, this is the ancestral family law, and I can't cross it. ”

When Concubine Rong and Lan Qi left Ningshou Palace, they both stopped in front of the door and did not speak, and when they finally moved their steps and walked away, Concubine Rong smiled sadly: "Even you are thirty years old, I have really become an 'old man', right?" ”
