"How can I help you?" was suddenly begged for help, and the imperial concubine was a little happy, she could help Concubine De, which meant that she was needed, and it meant that Wu Ya Lanqi was also beyond her power.

"The concubine wants to find out who gave Lan Ying the medicine, and the concubine suspects that it was the hands and feet of Xianfu Palace, but even if it is found out that it is the concubine, the emperor has made it clear that he will not pursue the matter, and the concubine is under the concubine, let alone what to do to the concubine, only you can suppress her." Lan Qi owes the imperial concubine, "The concubine has to deal with the people of the Niu Hulu family because of her sister, the future of the fourth elder brother, the concubine does not dare to say that you value it more than Niangniang, but the heart of protecting the fourth elder brother from being hurt by others, the concubine must be no less than you, you can give everything for the fourth elder brother, the concubine understands." ”

The imperial concubine frowned, not reluctantly, but she didn't know what was going on here, but asked: "What should I do, I don't know anything between you at all." ”

Lan Qi reminded her again and again: "Once the concubine agrees to the concubine, at least in this matter, you will have a conflict with the concubine, and even implicate the uncle's mansion and the Niu Hulu family to tear your face, the emperor has promised not to pursue the concubine, so even if the concubine finds out that it was the concubine who teamed up with people outside the palace to drug Lan Ying, she can't be punished for this crime, but the concubine is unwilling, even if she imposes other crimes, she has to pay the price." The concubine can tolerate her vexatiousness, but the younger sister can't be bullied in Niu Hulu's house, if you agree, this matter will be done to the end, if you have any concerns, refuse now, and the concubine will not be disappointed. ”

The imperial concubine sneered: "For me, don't go further and further, it's enough to do something sorry for Yinzhen in the future." As for tearing my face with Niu Hulu's family, have I ever had a good face with their family? It's like this, but it's just that they've been busy for a few years, what do you think I'm afraid of? As long as you don't betray the fourth elder brother, everything will be easy for us to say. ”

I don't know why, although the person in front of her thinks about her son wholeheartedly, Lan Qi always feels a little chill on her back, it's not a good thing to be too paranoid, she is even worried that the imperial concubine will do something bad for Yinzhen one day, she thinks about everything for her son, even if she does something bad one day, she will definitely feel that she has nothing to do for her son.

I can't help but secretly think in my heart that it is better to think of pulling the imperial concubine back, not only for the sake of the imperial concubine, but also for the sake of the fourth elder brother's mistakes in the future, not to mention that she only said to Xuan Ye yesterday that she would never rely on favor and rely on her mother to do something that shook Yuqing Palace.

After that, the two discussed what to do about this matter, and the imperial concubine was shocked when she heard it, she was surprised by Concubine De's inconspicuous scheming, and she was even more excited about this matter itself. She doesn't care about the affairs of the six palaces, just for Yinzhen to be busy, and now no one is competing with her for status, and even the fun of facing Concubine Zhao in the past is gone, if the emperor does not come to Chengqian Palace, her life will become more and more boring, so in Lan Qi's opinion, it is extremely serious and wants to seek justice for her sister, but in the imperial concubine, it is like playing, waiting to watch a good show.

In the days that followed, the palace was preparing for the New Year as in previous years, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui managed everything in an orderly manner, Concubine De served the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace all day long, and the clan relatives and nobles sometimes went to and from the inner palace, and unknowingly ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the third day of the first month, the imperial concubine held a banquet in the Chengqian Palace, outside the six palaces, there were more relatives and daughters of the clan, and now there are many princesses in the palace, plus the children in the clan, the noisy sound is more noisy than the gongs and drums on the stage, but the imperial concubine likes children, and her face is smiling like flowers all day long.

At the dinner, according to the level of the seat, Qinglian came back to say that Wen Guifei still did not come, and the imperial concubine snorted: "It's just a noisy play, and now I don't eat anymore, the concubine is in the Xianfu Palace every day, and she doesn't go out of the door, is it really to cultivate the Buddha?" ”

After a sentence, no one will continue this disappointing topic, besides, there are children frolicking, Wen Xian is the most pampered and domineering in the princess now, but a mouth is sweeter than honey, and the delicate can always coax the imperial concubine to be very happy.

Soon after the banquet began, the emperor gave the imperial concubine dignity and gave him good wine and food, in addition, the princess and the children of the clan each had a jade pendant, but the things were not the same, so that the imperial concubine shared the reward, the eldest brother and the prince met with the emperor today with the envoys from various countries to celebrate the New Year, and did not attend, the imperial concubine first picked out two good ones, one for Concubine Hui to take back, one for Qinglian to send to Yuqing Palace, and the rest for the children to choose by themselves, Wen Xian was domineering and had to pick first, the brothers and sisters let her, and the little princess was very proud.

After Wen Xian, he asked the children to choose according to their age, from childhood to adulthood, the children came over one by one to get gifts and thanks, all the mothers and other concubines and concubines looked at it with a smile, now the royal heirs are thriving, it is really a happy thing, finally no one took a piece of jade, the imperial concubine asked Qinglian to share the imperial wine with everyone, Lan Qi handed a look at Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong understood, and said with a smile: "Just look at the children one by one, the clothes on our ten elder brothers are really beautiful, not like the kung fu in the needlework room, don't you say it?" ”

The imperial concubine happily forgot all about business today, and when Concubine Rong said this, she came back to her senses and responded: "It was probably done by someone in the Xianfu Palace, I don't have an expert here, everything is sent by the needlework room and what to wear." Then he asked, "In the Xianfu Palace, is there a palace maid who is capable of needlework?" ”

Everyone brushed their eyes to the Jue Chan clan in the banquet, she wore a little more festive today's festival, the coral red brocade with fragrant silk thread embroidered Fu Lu Suxi four-character group flower, coral red hidden under the fragrant pattern, not ostentatious and not dazzling, will not appear incompatible with the festival, as for their own appearance does not need to be repeated, those rare women outside the palace into the eyes, but also make each other eyes amazed.

The noble Juezen was holding a chopstick dish in his hand to feed the tenth elder brother in his arms, and he didn't hear what Concubine Rong said, and Concubine Tong smiled with her on the side: "The ladies praise the ten elder brothers' beautiful clothes, did you do it?" ”

Jue Chan hurriedly got up and replied: "Brother Ten grows fast, the clothes sent by the needlework room this year are in the autumn, and they are no longer enough to wear, and the concubine has made this auspicious dress for a few days, and the concubine has rude stitches, I am afraid that I will lose the dignity of my elder brother." ”

Concubine Rong smiled: "Where can it be rude, I have always known that Sister Juezen is good at needlework, and the Queen Mother also likes the clothes you make, right?" ”

Jue Chan said humbly: "Niang Niang praised, the concubine just knows how to sew and mend." ”

Someone sat down and discussed, it seems that the noble person of Juezen is the palace maid who came out of the needlework room, and he followed Concubine Hui back then, and for some reason was favored by the emperor overnight to become a harem, and then the experience was also very rugged and bumpy, but he followed the Xianfu Palace so far, the wife is peaceful, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

"I always feel that the work of the sewing room is not good, and I can't even figure out the size, our fourth brother's clothes are too good, but unfortunately the sewing room can't pick a good one, and I don't bother to bother." The imperial concubine took the imperial wine leisurely, waited for Qinglian to continue pouring wine for the others, and said to the Juechan clan with a smile, "After a while, you left it for the fourth elder brother to see, and I was thinking about making a beautiful auspicious dress for the fourth elder brother, and it would be half a month, but his eldest brother's wedding is over, and there is no decent clothes." ”

Concubine Hui was busy laughing and said: "Why did Niangniang suddenly mention it, after a while, everyone came to make trouble with the concubine to drink, this big wedding has not yet been held, the daughter-in-law has not entered the door, and the concubine has been drunk several times." ”

Everyone really congratulated Concubine Hui, and put aside the matter of making clothes for a while, and the nobles of Juezen thought that the imperial concubine was just a whim, and then took care of the ten elder brothers to eat, and talked to a few concubines by themselves, and the meal was quite enjoyable, but when they didn't want to disperse, Qinglian really smiled to keep her and said: "Your noble, please wait in the side hall, the fourth elder brother will come in a while, please trouble the noble to give us the fourth elder brother to measure the head, if you don't feel troublesome, it would be better to make a dress again." ”

Juezen nobles asked the ten elder brothers what to do, Qinglian said that they would send them back, and asked the little palace maid to ask the nobles to wait in the side hall, Juezen sat quietly for half an hour, and the guests outside were basically dispersed, and no one came. After all, this is Chengqian Palace, the place where she was almost killed, and she knows in her heart that it is better not to act without permission.

If he waited patiently, he only waited for the sound of cleaning up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs outside to be quiet, and then someone suddenly came in, but it was not the fourth elder brother or the imperial concubine, but it was Concubine De who had already hugged the little princess and the thirteenth elder brother back.

"It's not easy to see you, in case the concubine is suspicious of you." Lan Qi calmly took off her clothes, Huan Chun followed behind her to take it down, Qinglian brought two hot teas, and closed the door and went out.

This is a scene that Juechan didn't expect, in order to see her in private, Concubine De actually passed through the relationship of the imperial concubine, probably even the concubine Rong who inexplicably mentioned the ten elder brothers' good-looking clothes just now, what is this to do, to be so cautious? At the beginning, Concubine De wanted to know about the sixth elder brother, but she generously invited her to Yonghe Palace, is there something more important to do now?

"It's rare to see you once, I want you to help when I open my mouth, it's too abrupt to think about it, you are a person who doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong, but this time, I'm going to pull you into the water." Lan Qi said seriously, "If you want to betray the concubine, are you willing?" ”

Jue Chan's mind quickly flipped over the events of these days, and her thoughts stopped on the body of Niu Hulu's new Fujin, she also knew that Concubine De's sister had a miscarriage in Layueli, and there were rumors outside that she had an accident after eating Laba porridge sent by the concubine, but she was in Xianfu Palace every day, and she really didn't notice any vicious movements of the concubine.

"What can a concubine do?" But unexpectedly, Jue Chan's heart did not reject Concubine De's invitation at all.
