How can the emperor rob the concubine hairpin, Lan Qi stupidly watched the emperor walk away, turned around and asked Huanchun: "If I sue, will the emperor really throw the hairpin into the Jinshui River?" ”

Huanchun had been covering her mouth and snickering on the side for a while, and hurriedly coaxed her back, while saying: "Next time, find a free time to take a walk with the emperor, don't you want to come back, if you sue the queen mother, the emperor may really throw it away, and then he will say that he can't find it, what can the queen mother do to the emperor?" ”

Lan Qi pouted and muttered, "I should be bullied together, and you must be laughing at me in your heart." ”

Yukui helped her master and said very frankly: "The slaves and maids don't dare to laugh in their hearts, they all laugh directly on their faces." ”

"I'll hit you." Lan Qi was in a hurry, the master and servant frolicked all the way back, and when they arrived at Zhong Cui Palace, they vaguely saw a group of people standing on the road, and heard Yu Kui say in his ear, "Blocking the road dog, good people don't do it, they always love to stop on the road." ”

"No nonsense." Lan Qi reprimanded her softly, and when she walked in front of her, sure enough, it was Concubine Tong who led the people in the palace, and it seemed that she was sitting there comfortably to enjoy the coolness, but now in the early summer season, the day is not so hot, and the night is still a little cool.

"Mother's luck." If you encounter it, you can't turn a blind eye, Lan Qi led the three of them forward to salute, and Concubine Tong sighed and sighed, "I thought the emperor was going to come with you again tonight, and the palace still wanted to borrow light, and also ask the emperor to say goodbye, why didn't the emperor come tonight?" ”

"The emperor has all the opportunities and has returned to the Qianqing Palace." Lan Qi replied firmly, "The concubines don't dare to disturb the emperor. ”

"Yes, you have no more self-knowledge, otherwise how could the Empress Dowager like you so much." Concubine Tong stood up, with a wave of her hand, Jingzhu and the others left far away with the palace maids and eunuchs, Lan Qi saw this posture, and it was not easy to disobey, so she looked back and ordered Huanchun, "You guys should also go over." ”

There was no one around for a while, only Concubine Tong and Lan Qi were there, the night was quiet, and they could hear each other when they whispered, although the day was bright, but it was not as peaceful as the night, if you didn't want others to know what to say, you need to be more cautious, on the contrary, if it doesn't matter, you are more generous than during the day.

But obviously Concubine Tong didn't want others to hear tonight, so she approached Lan Qi in a few steps, the two of them were about the same size, and they were staggered, only to hear Concubine Tong say: "Since you know the current affairs and have self-knowledge, you can also see the things in the palace clearly, right?" ”

"The concubine doesn't understand." Lan Qi frowned slightly, but she had already begun to guess in her heart.

"Huh, don't you understand? If you don't understand, then listen to this palace. Concubine Tong took a step back, facing her eyes, her charming eyebrows in the dark night were much clearer than Lan Qi, but the delicate Wu Chang in the moonlight was also more hazy beauty, between the two, one was impetuous, the other was peaceful and calm, only to hear Concubine Tong say coldly, "Two fists are invincible to four hands, this palace is in the palace, we need a sister to help, you and I live in front and back, this palace thinks that there is no other person better than you, Wu Chang is here, what do you say?" ”

Lan Qi's eyes were calm, although she didn't guess that this was the case at all, but she was not surprised, it seemed that after a few battles with Concubine Tong, it was not unusual to hear something from her mouth again.

"This palace is from a noble background, you are just a clothed palace maid, but you have the emperor's favor and the love of the queen mother, in front of them, even if this palace and Concubine Zhao are so noble, but you are the most talkative." Concubine Tong smiled and took Lan Qi's hand, "If Wu Chang is willing to help me, this palace will definitely support you in the future, and no one will dare to bully you in this palace." ”

Haven't you been bullying me all the time, Concubine Tong?

Lan Qi was amused in her heart, her face was not shocked, she let go of Concubine Tong's hand and respectfully blessed her body and said: "How can the concubine He De help Niangniang, if you think about it, your noble background will never change, but the concubine was born as a small palace maid, even if she can say a few words in front of the empress dowager or the emperor now, but once she really says those words, the grace in front of her is gone, and if she is disgusted, I am afraid that it will affect Niangniang, and the concubine thinks that such a thing is not beneficial to Niangniang." ”

"Sharp teeth." Concubine Tong's face was pale and cold, looking at it in this night, it was even more terrifying than before, and she waited for Lan Qi with hatred, "Say so much to excuse yourself? Wu Yashi, you have to think clearly, if you don't stand on the side of the palace, then don't worry about standing in the Yikun Palace, the palace of An'an will still give you a way to live, otherwise......"

"Niangniang, the concubine is from a palace maid." Lan Qi smiled at her, and the calm appearance on her face made Concubine Tong more and more angry, but she smiled faintly and said, "When the concubine was a palace maid, although Bu Changzai was distressed, there were also old grandmothers and little eunuchs who liked to bully people, and they had to take any good things to honor people, and they were sent to carry coal when they were sick, and they were pressed into the snow as an assassin on a snowy day, and they were almost sent to the Shen Penal Division to end up with this life, Niangniang, do you think the concubine is still afraid?" To be able to live well until now, it is God's favor, and the concubines dare not climb high, and no one dares to help anyone with self-righteousness, so they are counting on the prosperity of the imperial court and the country, so that they can live happily in this palace. ”

"A gentle and delicate person in front of the emperor, do you know that you will also say this?" Concubine Tong smiled coldly, "These words sound really confident, but what is the confidence?" It's just a sentence that proves that you are from a humble background, and there is not more than one lowly person alive, and there is no less than one person who dies. Since you have talked about this today, the palace also said that you don't care about your life and death, but what about the people around you, your Ama Niang? Wu Chang is here, do you think you are still alone? Remember that you can not stand on the side of the palace, but if you dare to stand with Concubine Zhao, or help someone else against the palace, you and the people around you, and your family members outside the palace will not die well, if you don't believe it, try it. ”

Lan Qi's heart jumped heavily, she was really not afraid, but she couldn't ignore her family and the people around her, Concubine Tong's words were good, she was no longer the little palace maid who was not sorry to die, but the emperor also said that he didn't want to see himself at the mercy of others, he liked the ** and strong Wu Ya Lanqi, and he didn't want to live in the shadow of others.

"It's cold at night, so let's rest early." Concubine Tong gently patted her on the shoulder, leaving a terrifying smile, turned around and left triumphantly with the palace maid and eunuch, Huanchun and a few people hurriedly came over to support Lan Qi, and asked her in a whisper if she was okay.

"I'm fine, Concubine Tong, what else can I do." Lan Qi's eyes showed disdain, the more Concubine Tong looked like this, the more she looked down on this person.

Lan Qi's heart is like this, but the reality is unavoidable, Concubine Tong's high position and power are indeed not something that she can compete with in a small Changzai, and the person that Concubine Tong is targeting has never been herself, in her heart, she is not enough to worry about her own Xiaochang, what she wants is the entire harem, and it is to suppress the dignity of Concubine Zhao.

When she returned to the gate of Zhongcui Palace, she could faintly hear the sound of the gate of Chengqian Palace closing, and Yukui couldn't help but say on the side: "She herself is not good, she always relies on others, and such a person is destined to not be better." ”

Huanchun twisted her mouth and scolded: "You yourself will not be good first, don't remember to take care of a mouth outside." ”

"Master......" Yu Kui pulled Lan Qi to be coquettish, Lan Qi led them back, and said with a smile, "Huanchun is right, as long as you are good outside, I don't care how crazy you are here, but what did you say tonight?" It deserves to be screwed, it's too light. ”

I don't know what Concubine Tong's mood is this night, Lan Qi fell asleep peacefully, because the Empress Dowager will continue to listen to the story tomorrow, she finally has an excuse to light a candle at night to read a book for a while, but the candlelight does dazzle her eyes, and it didn't take long for her to be sleepy, and she muttered to Huanchun before falling asleep: "The emperor approves the folds every night, who works harder than him." ”

The next day, as usual, I went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, because I didn't want Bu Chang to be bored at home alone, so I also took her to tell the story to the Empress Dowager, and Bu Chang was here to help Su Mala Ma do things, and when I was about to pass on lunch, Ah Ge suddenly hugged Princess Duanjing, saying that the emperor heard that Bu Chang was in Cining Palace, and today was Duanjing's birthday, so he hugged her to let her mother meet, and listened to her daughter shouting one after another, and Bu Chang couldn't help but cry.

And a few days ago is the death of Queen Hesheri, but also the birthday of the prince, compared to the old year, this year due to the construction of the mausoleum stopped, the emperor simply let the low-key pass, the top does not mention, the people below naturally do not dare to be blind and courteous, but because of this, some people rumor to establish a new queen, so it will be diluted Queen Hesheri's death.

Princess Duanjing was kept by her grandmother for lunch, and after the meal, because the queen mother liked it for a while, she wanted to stay by her side to take a nap, and talked to the little princess in the dormitory. Mama Su Mala led Lan Qi and Bu Chang to do needlework and talk outside, and asked Lan Qi to tell her those interesting stories, she was coquettish and said that she was thirsty for telling stories, and Mama asked her to make her own tea, and asked them to use it once.

People happily made tea, leaving Bu Chang beside Mama, she has been happy since she saw her daughter, and now she was concentrating on embroidering the handkerchief in her hand, Mama suddenly asked her: "Bu Chang after yesterday's luncheon, can I walk in the garden?" ”

Bu Changzai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what was panicked on his face, and said timidly: "I'll go back to Zhongcui Palace after lunch, why does Mama ask like this?" ”

Mama looked very indifferent and said: "I think someone is wrong, yesterday a little palace maid said to the slave maid, I saw you and Concubine Tong next to Jingzhu walking in the garden, the slave maid thought about how you walked with Jingzhu, it should be wrong." ”

Bu Chang's heart was pounding, she didn't go to the garden with Jingzhu, but Jingzhu came yesterday afternoon, and the face was to send the Dragon Boat Festival reward to Concubine Tong, but in fact, she closed the door and said a lot to her, she hadn't slept when Lan Qi came back last night, but she didn't dare to see her. And how terrible is the eyeliner of Cining Palace, the things in their palace, Mama even knows, this is asking herself on the side, what did Jingzhu say yesterday?

"Wu Chang is kind-hearted and has a good temperament, but this time and again, the slave and maid can also see clearly, Chang Zai is not a soft persimmon that is casually pinched." The needlework in Su Mala's hand did not stop, and she said with a smile, "She will not bear people, but if someone bears her, she will not rush to be good to anyone, people's hearts are made of meat, how can they recover from injuries." ”

"Mama......" Bu Changzai was already in tears.

"The little princess is the emperor's daughter, except for the queen mother or the queen mother, who can do anything for the emperor?" Mama Su Mala smiled at her, "You have to relax your heart when you are always here." ”

Just as she was saying this, Lan Qi came in with a smile, put down the tea tray and said, "Mama taste my freshly brewed tea, if you taste a few kinds of tea and flowers in it, I will give you the jewelry that the emperor gave me." ”

Mama smiled: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be in a hurry, and throw that ruby hairpin into the Jinshui River?" ”

Lan Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" Does the Empress Dowager know? Mama, don't say it, the emperor will really throw it. Inadvertently turned around, but saw that Bu Chang was secretly wiping her tears, and her face immediately lost her smile, and she came over to help her and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Bu Chang said in a panic: "Talking to Mama about the little princess, you know, I am the most casual, and I can't help it when I mention the princess." ”

"How happy I am today, sister, don't cry, drink my tea." Lan Qi was busy pouring tea for them, Mama and Bu Changzai both guessed a few, and the patchwork was complete, Lan Qi was a little frustrated, but she said that the two people didn't count, she didn't give those jewelry, but she was ridiculed by Mama She was reluctant and didn't dare to give it, and several people laughed for a while, and even Bu Changzai was a little more relaxed, and then when Lan Qi walked away again, she timidly whispered to Mama: "I understand Mama's words, and I won't think cranky anymore." ”

Su Mala smiled and said nothing, this one thing is over, and on the wide distribution of eyeliner in Cining Palace, even what is going on in Qianqing Palace can't escape the ears and eyes of the Empress Dowager, not to mention a small Zhongcui Palace, and Bu Changzai is weak, and she remembers her own daughter, the closer she and Wu Changzai are, the more hidden dangers are, the Empress Dowager has already asked her to send someone to keep an eye on it, for fear that Lan Qi will be planted in the hands of her closest people, this is not Concubine Tong finally couldn't stand it first, and attacked this soft persimmon.

Soon the Empress Dowager woke up from a nap, the little princess also woke up, the grandparents and grandchildren played for a while, and the Empress Dowager asked the child to be sent back, and asked Su Mala to go to Yikun Palace by the way, saying that Yi Guicai had no child, and asked her to greet her.

Lan Qi and Bu Changzai also went together, and when they arrived at Yikun Palace, they saw that Concubine Zhao was very respectful to Mama, as if she was respecting the elders in the palace, and personally led her all the way to Yi Guiren, who had no children on the sickbed, looked pale and very weak.

"It's all to blame for the concubine's carelessness, stupid and ignorant, but Niangniang always says it's her fault, Mama, you can also help me persuade Niangniang." Unexpectedly, the weak Yiguiren was in good spirits, and he took Su Mala's hand and said, "I always let my mother blame myself like this, I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Concubine Zhao was sneering on her face, and she didn't speak on the side, so she listened to the persuasion of Mama on both sides, Bu Changzai and Lan Qi stood on the side and didn't talk much, and soon Concubine Zhao invited Mama to sit in the main hall, and the two of them stayed.

As soon as Concubine Zhao and Mama Su Mala left, Yi Guiren softened, slumped softly, and sighed and smiled bitterly at the two: "I really want to move to live with you, I am so tired here, I am forced to laugh in front of her every day, making me feel as if I am living for her." ”

"You take care of your body first, Xiaoyue will hurt your body even more." Bu Chang gently persuaded him, but he heard Yi Guiren laugh, "My ears are calloused when I hear such words." Suddenly curious, he asked Bu Changzai, "Are you pregnant after sleeping overnight?" ”

Bu Chang blushed, but had to answer: "What the concubine herself doesn't understand, it's the grandmother in the palace who takes care of her very diligently, and she found out after a month." ”

"Really, you have a good grandmother by your side." Yiguiren sighed, "Neither I nor Taohong understand, others only look at the face of the main hall and do things, who cares about me." ”

Bu Changzai said: "That grandmother is not for the good of the concubine, but for her own good, and later spread false rumors to make the chickens and dogs of Zhongcui Palace restless, and finally let the empress dowager out of the palace." ”

Yi Guiren blinked, glanced at Taohong and saw her nodding, before smiling: "There are really all kinds of stories in the palace." Then he touched his flat belly and said, "The doctor said that I was too young to keep this child, but Bu Changzai is not a few years older than me, so it can be seen that a person still has a personal life." He looked at Lan Qi again and said bluntly, "You were favored every night that day, and there was no good news, right?" ”

Lan Qi smiled and didn't say much, but inexplicably remembered that Xuan Ye had told her that she should give birth to a little brother for herself, but she didn't know when she would be able to serve him again. If you lose your heart, you will have nothing.

Leaving Yikun Palace, the two sent Su Mala Mama half a way, and then went back together, and then they rested or read, and in the evening they were preparing to pass the meal, and Jin He, who went out to do things, hurriedly ran and said: "Something happened, I searched for something in the house of the nobles in Yikun Palace, saying that someone deliberately harmed the nobles and miscarriages, and Concubine Zhao was afraid that people would gossip about her, so she asked to search the entire Yikun Palace, and the result was the same in the house of Miss Dongyun. ”

"No wonder I heard a commotion just now, it seems that someone has gone out in a hurry, Concubine Tong's feet are really fast." Yu Kui teased, but Lan Qi was in her heart, she still remembered the words of Rong Guiren and Hui Guiren, when Concubine Tong lost her son that day, she once wanted to harm Concubine Zhao to carry the black cauldron, although she didn't know whether it was true or not, but such a good opportunity today, Concubine Tong would definitely not let it go.

"Master, shall we go?" Huanchun came over and asked.

"Where?" Lan Qi was stunned, but she immediately understood, and shook her head, "Don't go, we can't say anything if we go, I don't want to see Concubine Tong's face, if Concubine Zhao is clear, the Empress Dowager will not easily wronged her." ”

"The master is now biased towards Concubine Zhao? She hurt you ...... the beginning."

Lan Qi sighed: "What if she dies that time?" At least she didn't torture me seriously, and it was my own will to go to Cining Palace to be beaten, but Concubine Tong is different, she is really vicious, and I am not biased towards anyone, but I have a seriousness in my heart. ”

However, at this moment, in Cining Palace, things have taken an unexpected turn, when everyone pointed the finger at Concubine Zhao and instructed Dong Yun to persecute Yi Guiren and not be able to give birth, Dong Yun bit Jing Zhu, the palace maid next to Concubine Tong, and said that those things were sent by Jing Zhu to her master, and the master rewarded her, and those in Yi Guiren's house were also obtained in this way.

Concubine Tong was annoyed and angry, ignoring the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, rushed over and slapped Dongyun, shouting: "Cheap maid, when did the palace give you these things?" ”
