No woman is willing to give up her beloved man, unless she has to turn around and leave, or is ruthlessly abandoned, even if she does, she can't talk about the word "let".

But why, listening to Concubine Wen's every word at the moment, Lan Qi seemed to feel that she was hoping that she could make some space so that she could occupy a corner in Xuan Ye's heart? Is it because she thinks too much, is it because she cares too much about her position in Xuan Ye's heart, so she looks at other women defensively?

"Sister De Concubine, why don't you speak?" Concubine Wen came up with a smile, but she startled Lan Qi and hurriedly left her seat, "The concubine doesn't dare to accept your sister, if you let outsiders listen to it, it will really break the rules." ”

Concubine Wen couldn't hide her disappointment, but she wasn't displeased, she just smiled and sighed: "But isn't it, I also liked it just now, I knew that no one wanted to be my sister, my sister's life is not good." And even if you want to, I really call you sister, others may not think of the relationship between you and me, I am afraid that something will happen again. ”

Lan Qi sat back slowly, took a sip of the slightly cool honey tea, but felt that the honey of the acacia flower was sweet and fragrant, where could you still eat the wonderful dew on the flowers, it can be seen that this collection of dew to brew tea is really a time-consuming method that people who have nothing to do.

"You are avoiding it like this, I think you don't agree with me asking the emperor in person." Concubine Wen picked up a few snacks and piled them on the plate in front of Lan Qi, and said to herself, "Since I asked the Empress Dowager to call the shots, I really shouldn't ask the emperor again, if it is really the emperor's intention, the Empress Dowager will definitely persuade him, if I ask him again, it will be bad if he hates me in his heart from now on." ”

"The mother is very thoughtful." Lan Qi whispered.

"The emperor doesn't hate me, if it's really what he meant, the imperial doctor ordered me to use contraception, maybe it's because of the family behind me, it's understandable, the emperor has the emperor's concerns, so I regret it now." Concubine Wen's face faded with joy, and she said worriedly, "I should send someone to check in private, if someone else cheats, it will not be too late for me to ask the two palaces to be the master, but if it is the emperor's will, I should not disobey him." Now I think about it, maybe this time, my affection with him will be broken, maybe I don't have children, he will always treat me so well, but I have children......"

Lan Qi looked at her, there was a sour feeling in her heart, she also knew that she could be favored by Xuan Ye, the innocence and lowliness of her family background was an important reason why he could like it without scruples, she occasionally thought wildly, if she was the daughter of a nobleman who was born in a high family, would she be just a scene like Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace even if she entered the palace and walked to him?

She is getting more and more stingy now, and she can't imagine that Xuan Ye is holding other women, loving her as much as she loves herself, and using those words to describe herself when he mentioned Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen. Just thinking about it, I felt pain in my heart, and Concubine Wen in front of her was obviously in love with the emperor, but she didn't know how the man she fell in love described her existence when he hugged someone else.

The love in the deep palace will become distorted if you are not careful, everyone shows people with masks, at this moment Lan Qi is also hiding behind the mask and looking at Concubine Wen, unwilling to never reveal her heart to her, the selfishness in her heart is constantly expanding, she does not have such a broad mind, I thought that she might really be able to be a friend and a sister, but at this moment, seeing her frankly confessing her attachment to Xuan Ye, Lan Qi opened the door of her heart and closed it again.

"It's better for me not to ask, I'd better stay here, regardless of whether he has children or not, it's good to have an eighth elder brother." Concubine Wen took a big bite of the snack, and said with bulging cheeks, "Otherwise, the good days will be tossed away by me, I can make fun of Ah Ling's them, but I don't dare to calculate the emperor." ”

Lan Qi also began to eat the snacks in front of her, sure enough, everything was exquisite, Concubine Wen must have spent all her efforts to make the emperor happy, and I don't know if it was as she said, the emperor had never eaten in Xianfu Palace once.

"Concubine De, the sixth elder brother is looking for you." At this moment, the nurse led Yinzuo out, and the little guy staggered over, probably smelling the fragrance, so he didn't have the patience to look at the sleeping baby again, and saw the table full of dazzling snacks, his eyes were wide open, and he crawled onto Lan Qi, and reached out to grab something and stuff it into his mouth.

Concubine Wen was overjoyed when she saw it, and gave him a rabbit-like bean bag, but Yinzuo refused to take it, turned around and hugged Eniang's neck with her greasy hand, and didn't want anything else, Lan Qi pulled away the hand that he had just touched the crystal dumpling, while coaxing: "Wen Niangniang gave you a little rabbit, Yinzuo take it quickly, thank you Wen Niangniang." ”

But the child was reluctant, so he just rubbed his oily hand on his mother's body, humming and chirping, not knowing what to say. Concubine Wen didn't care, and asked Dongyun if the egg custard had been stewed, and soon brought a cup of egg custard, saying that it was stewed in chicken soup, and only a few grains of salt were put in it, and it was sent to Lan Qi, and she tasted it herself, so she coaxed her son to feed him.

Seeing that Yinzuo was eating happily, Concubine Wen was also happy, and couldn't help but come over and reach out to feed, but Lan Qi handed her the spoon, and Yinzuo cried when she saw it, and kicked in Lan Qi's arms like a tantrum.

The child made an unreasonable fuss, going back and forth a few times, Concubine Wen's enthusiasm also faded, and she said helplessly: "Sixth elder brother doesn't seem to like me." ”

"It's probably a little sleepy, and it's time for the sixth elder brother to take a nap at this moment." The nurse played a round gently on the side, "When the sixth elder brother is sleepy, he only recognizes the concubine and the mother, and he doesn't even want a few slaves and maids, so he should be sleepy at this time." ”

Concubine Wen's face softened a little, and said with a smile: "Next time, I will come back when he wakes up, I really want to be close to him, our eighth elder brother will grow up in a blink of an eye, how lively it is for brothers to play together." They have only been free for a few years, look at the eldest brother and the prince, and I heard that Concubine Hui can't even see the face of the eldest brother. ”

Lan Qi was perfunctory, coaxing the restless son in her arms, and sure enough, as the nurse said, it didn't take long for Yinzuo to fall asleep on Eniang's shoulder, Lan Qi used this excuse to leave, and apologized for her son's faux pas, saying that she would bring him next time when the child was in spirit.

Concubine Wen heard that Lan Qi was still coming, so she was no longer reluctant, and personally sent her to sit in a sedan chair outside the door, and said enthusiastically: "The emperor is not in the palace, and the affairs of the queen mother are always limited, so you can come and sit when you are free." ”

"Thank you, mother." Lan Qi was polite, it was easy to get on the sedan chair and leave, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she walked away, looking at her sleeping son in her arms, she remembered that she met Concubine Tong before going out, and people told her not to bring her son, everything else was fine, but Yinzuo didn't give Concubine Wen face like this, and hated people unreasonably, which really embarrassed her, if she just listened to Concubine Wen, it would be good if she didn't bring her son.

"E-Niang won't take you to Xianfu Palace in the future." After kissing the sleeping child, Lan Qi also made up her mind, the original contradiction and blindly ignoring Concubine Wen's enthusiasm always seemed too indifferent, now she doesn't have to worry anymore, this friend and sister can't do it, she doesn't want to listen to a woman babbling about how she loves the man she also loves, and the woman who is the emperor has too many helpless things, this selfishness, it will be fulfilled.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor has been away from the palace for nearly half a month, in the spring of March, the flowers in the palace are blooming, the climate is warm, people are willing to move around more, the palaces and courtyards occasionally gather to enjoy the flowers, the days are very peaceful, this day came from outside, the emperor returned to Luan three days later, and several concubines were gathered in the Yonghe Palace, and the joke Lan Qi said: "The emperor must think of you very much, and we don't know when we can eat the tea of Yonghe Palace in the future." ”

During these days, Lan Qi was bullied by them, and the silver for entertaining tea and snacks was not spent, and it was better to be happy and comfortable, and the people who fell in love got together to pass the time.

The guests left, Lan Qi went to her son's house to take a look, and when she came back, she saw Huan Chun leading Ziyu to turn over the futon, and asked them why they were so late to toss, Huan Chun smiled and said that the holy car was going back to the palace, and the emperor was ready to come at any time, the two laughed so badly, Lan Qi hated: "You all just bully me, I'm in a hurry another day, just drive you all away." ”

Everyone coaxed around her, and put on the new bedding, and was about to call the little palace maid outside to take away the replaced things, only to see Luzhu come in, frowning and saying: "Master, there is someone in front of the door, saying that the emperor sent someone to see Niangniang, and the slave maid invited them in, but they refused, saying that it would be good to invite Niangniang to the door and say a few words." There were two people here, one looked like it was from the Qianqing Palace, and the other was wearing a hat and holding his face in the dark, and the slave maid couldn't see it. ”

Although she felt strange, she heard that the emperor had sent someone, Lan Qi didn't dare to delay, and turned around to go out. But Huanchun saw that the green beads and bangs were wet, and knew that there was spring rain outside, so he took a thin cloak and put it around Lan Qi, and he took another umbrella, and the two of them arrived at the door.

Standing in front of him was indeed a eunuch on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, but he usually didn't serve in close proximity, Lan Qi only felt familiar, and the person behind him, wearing a black cloak, saw her come out, so he walked up to him and put down his hat.

"Prince Gong?" Lan Qi was very surprised, although the twilight was dusk, he could definitely see that it was Prince Gong Changning, he should have gone to Changrui Mountain with the saint, why did he return to the palace first?

"The minister has seen the concubine." Prince Gong owed, and then said, "The emperor sent a minister to pick up Niangniang out of the palace, because the decision was hasty and not suitable for publicity, I hope that Niangniang changed her clothes at this moment, pretending to be a palace maid and leaving the palace with the ministers." ”

Lan Qi was puzzled and asked: "It's not that I don't believe in the prince, but the palace concubines are not allowed to leave the palace at will, and I can't accompany you just by your words." Besides, there was a word to Cining Palace today, saying that the emperor would return to Luan in three days, and the dragon would be healthy, what did the emperor want to see me? ”

Prince Gong didn't care, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Huanchun, Huanchun showed it to Lan Qi again, it was indeed Xuanye's belongings, so he heard Chang Ning smile: "The emperor knows that Niangniang may not be willing to accompany him, and it is not appropriate to send other people, so the minister will be ordered to come, and the emperor will give another jade pendant as a certificate, so that the minister must properly take you out of the palace to meet." ”

"Is the emperor in bad health?" Lan Qi was full of worries, and she had already put away the jade pendant.

Prince Gong said with a smile: "The emperor is very good, as for why he invited Niangniang out of the palace, Niangniang will know when she arrives, which is not a bad thing." ”

"A good thing?" Lan Qi lowered her eyes and pondered, and said, "I want to inform the Empress Dowager that I have to go to Cining Palace every day to serve, and if I suddenly disappear without saying goodbye, it will definitely cause a storm." ”

"Niangniang, the emperor's trip is serious and solemn, although it is already on the way back, but there are still some things that are inconvenient to do, I am afraid that the queen mother may not be willing to let go if she knows, and the emperor will come back in three days, what do you do to take you out of the palace? The Empress Dowager will definitely think like this, you can't go. Chang Ning was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Xuan Ye had thought everything about him before he came, and it was only after guessing Lan Qi's mind that he knew that it was not easy to do this.

Huanchun was refreshed, and said with a smile: "How can the prince pretend to pass the holy decree, Niangniang, after you leave the palace, the slave and maid will say that you are sick, and there are no guests in the Yonghe Palace, and they will not see any nobles, and the three days will pass quickly, and you will come back unconsciously when the time comes." ”

"It's raining, don't stand in front of the door, go into the eaves to take shelter, the slave is ready for the mother, and I will go with you immediately." Huanchun didn't wait for Lan Qi to agree, first asked Prince Gong to take shelter from the rain under the eaves, then pulled the master back, turned over his clothes to replace her, and even removed the bun and took off the jade bead hairpin, Lan Qi was busy changing her outfit, and muttered, "Why did you agree, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Huan Chun smiled: "It must be that there is something interesting in the Lord of Long Live who wants you to go and see it too, or I want to take you out for a walk, the slave can trust Prince Gong, and people have nothing to do with you." You can rest assured that you will go for three days, the sixth elder brother and the slave and the nurse will take good care of it, and the slave and maid will also be strict with the open mouth in the Yonghe Palace, even if it really leaks out, it is the long live master who took you out to play, what are you afraid of? ”

If it weren't for the change in size and appearance, when Lan Qi saw himself in the mirror, he seemed to have returned to the situation when he was a palace maid, and then hurried out, Prince Gong said that all the way was arranged, and he followed him when the twilight became deeper and deeper, and disappeared into the Forbidden City.

But after all, it is a few big living people walking in the palace, and how to dredge and play each card, it is rare to be bumped into by others, such as Hui Concubine passed by that place when she returned from Ningshou Palace, and saw a man enter the door of Yonghe Palace from a distance, because she could not stay because of the rain, and there was Baoyun around her to be inconvenient and curious, at this time Baoyun went to Zhang Luo for dinner, and her former confidant palace maid came to serve tea, and a few words about it, Hui Concubine muttered: "That figure is by no means a eunuch in the palace, and the figure looks a little like the emperor." ”

"Slave maid look, how can you look like Prince Gong?"

Concubine Hui frowned, "Yes, it's like Prince Gong, why did he come back first, could it be that something happened to the emperor?" Seeing that Baoyun was about to come in, Concubine Hui instructed in a low voice, "I want to send a message to Mingzhu to know if something happened to the emperor, and I will take a look at the movements of Yonghe Palace tomorrow." Cining Palace should also pay attention to see who enters and exits. ”
