067 Unprovoked Misfortune (More)
That timid eyes are full of coquettishness and cuteness, she used to be like this when she was around, if she liked it, if she didn't like it, if she didn't like it, she didn't like it, she was not pretentious, she was a frank person at all times, how could she not love her, I haven't seen her for a long time, Xuan Ye felt that the mutton in the bowl had no taste for a while, and just wanted to look at her quietly like this.
Seeing that the emperor even put down the dishes and chopsticks, Lan Qi really felt that he was here to test himself, so he said that where is it so good, and he sent such a big leg of mutton to himself for no reason, and the four of them had to eat together for a long time, as if they were deliberately trying to trap themselves in the palace, and they couldn't go out if they couldn't carry it. couldn't help lowering his eyes, and said frankly: "Your Majesty, those books are too difficult and too awkward, and the books that you can't understand are memorized, and you forget them all in front of you after remembering them." ”
But someone took chopsticks and lightly buttoned his forehead, "When I was young, Emperor Ama came to the study to study, if you talk like this, the attendants and eunuchs around you will be beaten to death." ”
Lan Qi thought to herself, so you are the emperor and I am always there, which is not the same. There was a smile on her face for a while, and she was seen by Xuan Ye, she was helpless and liked it, so she put down her chopsticks and pulled her up, "Have you eaten enough, sit with me, I am happy today." ”
"Yes." Lan Qi agreed, went to the door to call someone in front of the door to collect the open flame stove, Huanchun came to serve today, ventilated and cleaned the incense burner, and it didn't take long to get it right.
Xuan Ye rested crookedly on the warm kang, and when he saw Lan Qi holding tea, he asked him to sit beside him and talk, and praised: "The people around you are very quick with their hands and feet." ”
Lan Qi smiled: "They love their concubines very much, and they are also happy to do things." ”
"I just can't control you." Xuan Ye smiled and said with a smile, then saw Lan Qi blushing, and reached out to gently hold her in his arms, "Just sit for a while, I still have excerpts to see, and suddenly I miss you very much, so I came here." ”
"Hmm." Lan Qi responded, didn't ask the reason and didn't ask anything, when he used to serve in the Qianqing Palace, he saw that he was tired, and he also liked to sit with her in his arms for a while, or take a nap or talk for a while, and it didn't take long for the spirit to be full again, and he went back to the desk, maybe some people thought that the emperor and Wu Chang were happy every night in the Qianqing Palace, but in fact, this hard-working emperor spent more time doing business.
Although there has been such a snuggling scene, there has not been a situation since the spring of the old year, but just like walking under the moon that day, Wu Ya Lanqi does not feel that she has been away from the emperor for a long time, nor does she feel that such warmth is very strange, it still seems that she has never been separated, there have never been those unpleasant things, lazily leaning on the emperor, Xiao Chang who has a full meal, is a little sleepy, lest she delay the attendant, immediately sat up and patted her cheek, Xuan Ye asked her what was wrong, she honestly said that it was too comfortable to lean, and she would fall asleep if she was confused again.
"Then I'll talk to you." Xuan Ye didn't want to get together for a short time to see her fall asleep heartlessly, and said with a smile, "Why do you guess I'm happy today?" ”
Lan Qi shook her head, tilted her head and thought, and suddenly thought about it, but she didn't dare to mention those things, but Xuan Ye saw through her thoughts and said, "It's just a few casual conversations, how can I care about you." The villain asked happily, "The emperor is happy, but the matter of the three feudatories?" ”
Sure enough, seeing the emperor's face, he smiled and said: "Good news has gradually come from the rebel domain, Geng Jingzhong is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and when they are exhausted, it should be the end of Yunnan." Reaching out and pinching her face gently, "It turns out that not only do you know how to play in the snow around the hearth, but you also listen to things outside." ”
Lan Qihan smiled, "Serving tea in front of the Empress Dowager, I often hear Mama Su Mala and the Empress Dowager talk about this, otherwise where do the concubines know, every time I hear it, I am very happy, and I hope that the emperor will pacify the three feudatories as soon as possible." ”
The emperor sighed: "The imperial grandmother is always worried about me and the court, and I must be more diligent in government, so I hope that the imperial grandmother will let go of these worries as soon as possible and live in peace and happiness." ”
After the two talked quietly for a while, Xuan Ye also stayed soon, when parting, Lan Qi sent him to the door, Xuan Ye called Li Gonggong to come over, Li Gonggong sent a few books with both hands and said: "These books are the most fashionable idle books in the capital at the moment, the emperor said let Wu Chang read it quickly, and let the emperor continue to read it." ”
The little man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly accepted it. Xuan Ye was so happy to see that she was just a little thing, and his heart was warm and comfortable. From the first night I saw her on the dragon couch in the Qianqing Palace, I never hid the joy or sadness in my heart, I thought that if I let her read more books, it would become different from before, but in addition to her more open-mindedness and calmer encounters, her essence has not changed.
"Rest early." Just four words, Xuan Ye no longer hesitated, turned around and disappeared into the night, Lan Qi waited in front of the door for a long time, until her body gradually became cold, she was persuaded by Huan Chun to go back, and she slept with those books at night, her heart was full, and the grievances she had once dissipated, knowing that he had always had himself in his heart, knowing that he had something happy to be the first to think to himself and say to herself, even if she would get along in such a low-key manner for the rest of her life, she was willing.
The front line is victorious, such as the spring breeze blowing through the government and the opposition, not waiting for the winter cold to fade and a hundred flowers bloom, the palace and the palace have shown spring, Lan Qi every time she serves in Cining Palace, she can always hear the happy laughter of the Empress Dowager, she occasionally can't hide the stories she looks at in the idle book and tell the old people to listen, and she pleases the Empress Dowager even more.
In addition, when the military budget was tight before, Concubine Zhao tried her best to save money in the palace, although the silver saved was also limited, but it was better than nothing, and it was a great contribution to the imperial court after all, Concubine Zhao's virtue gradually spread, and Xuan Ye often cared about her, plus Niu Hulu's previous lessons converged a lot, and the relationship with the royal family finally took a turn.
Indignant about this, it is naturally Concubine Tong, she entered the palace with beautiful scenery, and the scenery snatched away all the glory of Concubine Zhao, but who knew that not long after Daxi became pregnant, she lost her child due to her own weakness, and was dull in the confinement situation in Chengqian Palace.
Concubine Xiao Tong has a lot of grievances, no one is pleasing to the eye, after the confinement there are concubines to ask for peace, it is also cynical and embarrassing, after a long time, others do not come, she is indignant and feels that she is despised, it can be seen that people never give a good face, and the hearts of the people who originally relied on power and money are almost scattered.
Before the summer, there was good news in the palace, Dong Changzai, who had been silent for a long time, was pregnant again, thinking that she was the first to serve the emperor like Rong Guiren, what kind of situation were the years in those years, and later people could not imagine, but they were all engraved in the hearts of the emperor and them, even if there were new favorites in recent years, the emperor always remembered an old love.
And because of the recent good news in the imperial court, the harem added this happy event, the empress dowager was happy, and made an exception to promote Dong Changzai to a nobleman, and gave him a title to show her favor. Among the concubines, the nobles were the happiest, but their sisters said that they should keep their distance so that they would not become the target of public criticism and their own safety, and they could not get close to each other to congratulate each other, which was quite unbearable.
On this day, the nobles went to Cining Palace to thank them for their peace, she and Rong Guiren were personally selected by the Empress Dowager to send to the emperor's side, more than ten years passed in a flash, recalling the ups and downs of the harem in this long period of time, the old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and told a few words, and let Lan Qi who was with her send her back, and she was grateful to the heavens for blessing, and entered the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, and outsiders were not allowed to disturb.
Lan Qi and Duan Guiren did not have any contact, only remembered that they had met with Bu Chang in the past, and the sorrow and sorrow on the woman's face at that time were still fresh in their memories, but now they only saw a red face full of joy, Duan Guiren was soft and easy to speak, because of the soft sedan chair given by the emperor, he invited Lan Qi to sit with him and invited her to drink a cup of tea in his palace.
Because the Empress Dowager told her to send her back in person, Lan Qi didn't dare to be lazy, and sat in a soft sedan chair with her to gossip a few words of homely things, and then left Cining Palace.
Halfway through, he was talking about Lan Qi taking care of Bu Chang in the past, when the soft sedan suddenly shook and stopped in a panic, Lan Qi helped Duan Guiren and asked nervously: "What's wrong?" ”
I only heard Huanchun's voice sound, and said through the curtain: "Concubine Tong is ahead." ”
The two glanced at each other, although Duan Guiren rarely went out to show up, he also knew that Concubine Tong had a strong temperament, so he hurriedly helped him get off the sedan chair together, and sure enough, he saw Concubine Tong's shoulder slowly coming over, looking high on the top, and couldn't help but be daunting.
"This palace said that who was blocking the way, it turned out to be a noble person, disrespectful and disrespectful." Concubine Tong smiled coldly, squinted at Lan Qi beside her, and asked disdainfully, "The sedan chair of the noble person was given by the emperor, why did Wu Changzai sit with him?" It's really unruly. ”
Lan Qi didn't dare to argue, but she was worried that the Duan Guiren who was also kneeling next to her would not be able to stand it for a long time, so she blurted out in a hurry, "Can Niangniang let Duan Guiren get up, the sedan chair shook just now, and the concubine was afraid ......"
"What are you saying about this palace?" Concubine Tong's eyes were sharp, and she waited for Lan Qi fiercely, with a sneer hooked on her lips, "It is said that you are the most inconspicuous in Zhongcui Palace, but this palace feels that you have more thoughts than anyone else." It doesn't matter if the queen mother is happy, wherever there is excitement among the concubines, they will drill there. And the emperor often goes to the Chengqian Palace, you rely on yourself to live in the back, what kind of deeds do you do from time to time, and you don't know when the palace doesn't know? ”
It is said that no matter how bad Concubine Tong's temperament is, she will not say such a car of words inexplicably, but she has just eaten a closed-door soup from the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zhao went to the emperor's side one step ahead of her, and she didn't know what to do, the emperor actually said that he would no longer see others, and which slaves would not go to report, and forcibly blocked her from the door.
And although Duan Guiren has a good temperament, he has been in this palace for more than ten years, and he always has a temperament in his heart, seeing that Concubine Tong has the intention to stir up trouble, he was also angry for a while, and explained for Lan Qi: "It was the concubine who invited Wu Chang to accompany him, and the Empress Dowager asked Wu Chang to send the concubine back." ”
Concubine Tong was angry in her heart, just now those servants opened their mouths and closed their mouths The emperor has a decree not to see others, and this time the queen is pressed by the queen mother, and the co-author knows that she has been shameless on both sides recently, and deliberately disgusted her, glared at the two of them angrily and said: "Okay, this palace will go to Cining Palace to ask the queen mother if there is such a matter, you kneel here, kneel and wait for the palace to send someone to send a message, if there is a lie, the following will be committed, and the crime will not be light." ”
