Lan Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there another minister waiting to be seen?" ”

Gonggong Liang seemed to deliberately want to explain to the emperor why he didn't have time to see his mother, so he nodded yes, and said: "Long live the lord is not idle for a moment, in the end, he will go out for a few days, and if he doesn't do all the things he has accumulated, he has no intention of doing the things that come up later." Look at Laba today, Long Live Lord has no time to greet the Queen Mother, all etiquette is waived, and I haven't been like this for so many years. Now that Niangniang is here, it is better to accompany the emperor to a bowl of porridge, the emperor is not very good at eating these days. ”

"The emperor knows I'm coming?" Lan Qi asked.

"The slave just gave a look to the Long Live Lord, whether the Long Live Lord can understand it or not, it may not be." Liang's father-in-law didn't dare to pack the ticket, but he didn't want Concubine De to come and go, so he lowered his head and took the mother to the warm pavilion, and gave Huanchun a look, Huanchun supported his master, and said with a smile, "Laba porridge is served hot, just wait for it to be warmer, long live the good entrance." ”

They couldn't help but say that they hugged Niangniang and came to the warm pavilion, and Lan Qi knew that she really wanted to see Xuan Ye, otherwise they would be reluctant. Coincidentally, she turned around here to go to the warm pavilion, Tong Guowei withdrew from the emperor, and when he saw someone who looked like a concubine passing, he asked the little eunuch next to him: "Which lady is here?" ”

The little eunuch responded: "If you go back to the adult, it is Concubine De Niangniang, and Manager Liang will invite Niangniang to wait in the warm pavilion." ”

Tong Guowei raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly, and then looked at the place where Concubine De's figure had just passed, and then left in a hurry. And Liang Gong'an was stunned, and immediately came back to tell the emperor, he had not yet entered the door, the emperor had already walked to the door, pulled his cuffs and hurriedly, and asked Liang Gonggong: "Governor of Liangjiang, when will you meet?" ”

Gonggong Liang stepped forward to dress the emperor neatly and replied: "It was scheduled to be half an hour, if the emperor talks to Niangniang at this time, there is no need to invite Master Zhang in advance." ”

Xuan Ye had already walked out of the door, and the cold air outside lifted his spirits, and he told Manager Liang not to let Zhang Pengxi, who was going to be the governor of Liangjiang tomorrow, meet him at this moment, and according to the appointed hour, he hurried to the warm pavilion while talking, and before he could enter the door, he heard Huan Chun say: "Why did Niang Niang pick out the red dates?" And Lan Qi's long-lost familiar voice said, "Your emperor doesn't like to eat boiled red dates, you don't remember." ”

The thick curtain was raised, the emperor strode in, Lan Qi turned around and saw him coming, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him bowed to the ground, but she stood dumbfounded. Although she has said goodbye countless times, every goodbye will still make her heart pound, even at this age, even if she is no longer young, as long as the affection in her heart has not faded, for her, Xuan Ye is the most important and most caring person in her heart.

Lan Qi hadn't woken up, Xuan Ye had already approached, looked at her cheeks carefully, frowned, and said, "Your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"The emperor's complexion is not good, but he says that he is a concubine." Lan Qi smiled faintly, came to her senses, and curtfell to salute. Xuan Ye had already pulled her to sit down, waved his big hand and motioned to the palace maids and eunuchs to go down, and said in a good mood, "I happened to be hungry, I haven't eaten a bite of porridge during the festival today, and I haven't touched it yet." ”

Liang Gonggong has the most eyes, and he has already ordered someone to bring the porridge sent by Ningshou Palace, Xuan Ye ate a few bites of everything, and smiled contentedly: "It's still the porridge of Yonghe Palace that meets the spleen and stomach, I don't have a good appetite these days, so I want to fry a few side dishes in Huanchun, but I usually can't think of it, and when I think about it during the meal, I don't want to be disrespectful to the food in front of me, but I didn't mention it at that time, and I forgot it later." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "How easy, the concubine asked Huanchun to prepare." ”

"Would you like to deliver it yourself?"

"The emperor won't be annoyed?"

"What do you say?" Xuan Ye was disgusted, "I want to see you every day, but I don't have time. ”

Lan Qi's heart turned upside down, the emperor seemed to be doing as usual, he didn't even notice his displeasure, maybe she behaved well enough, propped up her cheeks, and smiled as brightly as she said to Lan Ying. But sitting and talking to him at this moment, I was not unhappy, and I really didn't feel as happy as I imagined, I always felt that something was missing.

The emperor tirelessly told her what she had seen and heard along the way, Lan Qi listened quietly, sometimes laughing together, but most of the time, she just listened, and soon Chief Liang came in with a look of embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to meet the Governor of Liangjiang." ”

Xuan Ye said that he knew, he was a little disappointed that the hour passed so quickly, Lan Qi brought a hot handkerchief to wipe his face, afraid that there would be any traces left by eating porridge just now, Xuan Ye obediently let her be at her mercy, while saying: "Zhang Pengxi is my new governor of Liangjiang, and he is an expert in managing river workers. ”

Lan Qi didn't know why, and couldn't help but say: "Wen Xian's body is not suitable for walking far, and the concubine is reluctant to leave her alone, I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany the emperor on his southern tour." ”

Xuan Ye's face froze, and he said, "She's an adult, why can't she leave you?" I want to take you there......"

Lan Qi hurriedly interrupted him: "Let's talk about it then, the emperor will go and get busy first, don't ask Lord Zhang to wait." ”

Xuan Ye muttered, "I want to take you with me." He also told her to rest well and not to work too hard, and then went out the door.

Lan Qi stared blankly at his departing back, everything familiar was about to disappear in front of him, and his heart seemed to be gushing with blood, and he suddenly shouted "Xuanye".

Xuan Ye turned around in surprise, although they were more intimate than anyone else, but Lan Qi would only call his name when he was emotionally happy and sad, after the death of the imperial grandmother, few people called his name again, so that every time he remembered about when, at this moment, he suddenly heard Lan Qi shouting this, and he felt inexplicably worried.

The sunlight outside the house shone directly on Lan Qi's body, the light was too strong, but she couldn't see the appearance on her face clearly, under the pale sunlight, Xuan Ye suddenly had an illusion, as if she was going to lose the person in front of her, as if she would melt into this pale sunlight.

"Let Zhang Pengxi come in immediately." Xuan Ye spoke, "But the people after him are gone." ”

Lan Qi stood in front of the table, Xuan Ye had the light on his back, she couldn't see the look on his face clearly, but she could clearly hear him say: "Rest here, I'll come in a while, don't go anywhere." Immediately, the voice disappeared with the voice, but her heart was no longer empty, she was hypocritical, maybe things were not so complicated, in the end, maybe she was thinking about her own man.

Because the master wanted to stay in the Qianqing Palace, Huanchun hurried back to Yonghe Palace, and asked Ying Fujin not to wait any longer, Lan Ying swaggered away, and smiled at Huanchun: "Look at it, I know that your mother can't wipe her face, what's so embarrassing about it, I want the emperor to go see him." ”

Huanchun didn't dare to be careless, so he only begged Fujin: "If Niangniang can't untie the knot, Fujin can enter the palace to comfort Niangniang." ”

Lan Ying sighed: "This is natural, I only have this one sister." ”

Huanchun sent Fujin all the way out of the palace, Lan Ying happened to meet Shun Anyan who was leaving the palace, and the young man politely came forward to say hello, and dispersed after a few polite words to each other. Lan Ying happily looked at the way he rode away, thinking that Wen Xian was going to marry such a capable and gentle man, and she felt solid in her heart.

Let's say that Shun Anyan came all the way home, it was his grandfather who sent someone to find him home, and after entering the door, he went straight to his grandfather's house, and Tong Guowei was napping on the warm kang. Shun Anyan bowed in front of him and shouted "Grandpa".

Tong Guowei opened his eyes, saw his grandson returning, woke up lazily, and opened his mouth to let him sit down, but Shun Anyan brought tea to serve him, Tong Guowei drank tea and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Shun Anyan responded: "My grandson is on an errand in Wuying Palace. ”

"Don't you delay?"

"Don't delay, what does grandpa command?"

Tong Guowei looked his grandson up and down, and smiled slightly: "I just retired from the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor summoned me and told me about your marriage to Princess Wen Xian." ”

Shun Anyan was stunned, bowed his head silently, and seemed a little timid and shy, but heard his grandfather ask, "What?" You don't like this marriage? ”

"Yes, my grandson likes the princess, but you told your grandson early on that marrying a princess is not so simple, and you want your grandson to figure it out." Shun Anyan looked ashamed, "But my grandson didn't listen to you, and he still had a close relationship with the princess, because he liked ...... in his heart."

Tong Guowei smiled: "What do you like, you stupid boy who has not dried up, do you know what love is?" However, for our family, it is not uncommon to marry the princess, we are the emperor's grandfather's family. ”

"Yes."

"But what I didn't expect was that the emperor would really marry Concubine De's daughter to you." Tong Guowei's face sank slightly, and he became serious, "At that time, your aunt's casual joke came true." ”

Shun Anyan didn't understand, and looked at his grandfather in confusion: "I don't understand what grandpa means." ”

"You don't have to know too much right now." Tong Guowei's tone no longer had a smile, and he seriously instructed his grandson, "Even if you become a relative to the princess, don't have more dealings with the fourth elder brother's mansion." The matter of the fourth elder brother, I will naturally take care of it, what should you do, and listen to my orders. ”

Shun Anyan said: "But the princess and the fourth elder brother and sister have a deep relationship. ”

Tong Guowei said solemnly: "How can a married person run to his brother's house without anything? How the princess lives after leaving the palace doesn't depend on how you take care of her? In short, in the future, you will keep your own sense of proportion, don't have too close contact with the fourth elder brother, just nod and talk in the court. I will also try my best to arrange it so that your errand will not be involved with the fourth elder brother. ”

Shun Anyan didn't understand, so he could only bow his head and agree: "Grandson listens to you." ”

Tong Guowei frowned again and said: "Don't have a deep affection for the princess, just forget the roots, in the future, whatever I say to you, you don't need to move it to the princess." If you wait for the princess to relay it to Concubine De Niangniang, things will be in trouble. I can foresee what will happen in the court in the future, but you can't imagine that grandpa will not let you suffer, you have to be your forehead with peace of mind. The future can only be earned slowly, and quick success will only hurt you. ”
