099 Competing for favor (and one more.)

But seeing Concubine Wen walking up with a smile, she said to Xuan Ye Jiao: "The concubine and the sister of the concubine have always been close, but the emperor is to blame for moving the sister of the concubine to Zhongcui Palace, which is separated from the concubine's Xianfu Palace in the east and west, so every time I come to sit, I am reluctant to leave." ”

Lan Qi stood on the side, Concubine Wen gradually separated her from the emperor, abruptly inserted in the middle, and naturally laughed at the emperor, it was not at all her sister's noble and arrogant appearance, maybe because of her young age, she decided that the emperor would not care about her, so she had no fear.

And Lan Qi is just a nobleman, in front of the emperor, how dare she compete for a position with a concubine.

"The emperor is going back to the Qianqing Palace at this time, can the concubine walk with you for a while?" Concubine Wen smiled brightly and invited the emperor to go along, and Zhong Cui Palace was in front of her, she was sure that Xuan Ye would not go in, and she didn't say that she would let the emperor send her, she only said that she would go together, if she refused, it would be too ruthless.

When everyone heard these words, they thought that the noble people would be more modest, and took the initiative to leave, thinking that this was also her low-key and gentle temperament in the past, and the emperor was embarrassed at this time, she was always and everywhere for the emperor's sake, and she would definitely find the emperor to go down the stairs, but everyone found that the noble people were on the side, not speaking or moving, and their expressions were faint, and they couldn't see any thoughts.

Xuan Ye looked at the two of them, Lan Qi was calm and indifferent, Concubine Wen was gentle and well-behaved, and she coughed dryly before she was about to speak, but Concubine Wen actually said first: "Noble people, this palace has just come out of Zhongcui Palace, and the palace door may not have been closed yet, you should go back quickly, the hour is not early, and it is not good to sleep late with a safe fetus." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and finally opened his mouth, and instructed Lan Qi: "You go back, I will leave." ”

Lan Qi looked at him, his eyes were facing each other, and he didn't know if he could perceive each other's emotions, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and said goodbye to the emperor and Concubine Wen.

"There are always a few steps to go, the noble people of De are carrying the dragon heir, Dongyun, you carry the lantern, illuminate the road brightly, and send the noble people back well." Concubine Wen instructed like this, turned around and smiled at Xuan Ye, "Your Majesty, the concubine will accompany you for a few steps." ”

Lan Qi didn't seem to pay attention to what Dongyun lanterns, and had already walked away with people, Xuan Ye's eyes swept over a few times, and he didn't look closely, Concubine Wen said this to him, and he agreed, and the two walked back slowly.

I don't know if Xuan Ye did it on purpose, he didn't take the road he and Lan Qi came from, went around other roads, and kept walking, and when Lan Qi returned to the dormitory, washed up and prepared for bed, he heard Xiangyue and Ziyu muttering outside, saying that the little eunuch next to Duan Concubine came and went, and the emperor stayed in Xianfu Palace tonight.

Huanchun also heard it and wanted to go out to remind them to mumble these words, but Lan Qi stopped and said, "You went and said it, it seems that I care about it, I'm not so stingy, there are so many concubines in the palace, can I care about it?" But this chatterbox, he sat on the couch and talked for a long time, and finally Huanchun bent his knees on the couch and laughed at her, "The master doesn't care about this?" ”

Lan Qi glanced at her, but her eyes were red, maybe she was a pregnant woman who was prone to sentimentality, Su Xi was generous and looked down on these things, and Xuan Ye was intercepted by the road tonight, she really couldn't let go of it and couldn't swallow it, pouted and whispered: "If you change to Concubine Tong, does she dare to rob it?" ”

Huanchun also sighed: "I can't see it, Concubine Wen is such a person, there are a lot of people in the palace who invite pets, each has its own way, but to rob people in person, even if Concubine Tong Guiniang, I haven't seen it, it's really a mountain and a mountain high, people can't be good." ”

"She told me that day that she would remember my kindness to the queen and would not harm me." Lan Qi frowned, "She also said that the daughter of their Niu Hulu family is not worthy of a good life, at that time I was moved by compassion, but now I am blocked in one breath, and my heart is sour, as if I have turned over the vinegar jar, I feel that it doesn't matter what she does." ”

"The master is finally starting to be stingy." Huanchun didn't know whether to make Lan Qi happy, or really looked lightly, and said with a smile, "The slave always thinks that your Buddha-like temper is not good to say that it is to be bullied, and now I see that you will also turn over the vinegar jar, just now I left the emperor and Concubine Wen and left, so I feel that this is a flesh-and-blood person." ”

Vomiting the unhappiness in her heart, Lan Qi felt a lot more comfortable, she didn't feel much pain and discomfort, but she was just stingy with a woman trapped in love, Huanchun kept smiling, she looked comfortable, and when she heard this, she was happy to hug her: "Why am I bloodless and fleshless, how good a person I am in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but for you, I am as bad as a dominatrix, and I love to toss you." ”

Huanchun laughed, the dormitory swept away the gloom, and then boiled almond dew, Lan Qi drank it in the concubine's house that day and liked it, and drank some every night to feel Ansheng, and then drank it slowly, and said when she took a breath: "Actually, I still believe her words that day, the girls in the big family are indeed involuntarily, you said that even Concubine Tong didn't dare to rob people halfway like this, but why did she rob me, and why did she rob me?" Probably because I can snatch it here, and the one who robbed me is several times more powerful than others, and the people in the palace will really look at her differently. ”

Huanchun was silent, seeing that the master's heart was clear and reassured, no wonder the grandmother often told them not to talk nonsense to disturb the master's mind, she would look at things clearly.

But this night's events have opened up a new atmosphere in the palace, and I don't know if Concubine Wen invited her to seduce everyone to move, originally for Empress Niu Hulu to keep dress, all palaces are low-key, thinking that the emperor will not be too close to women these days, but Concubine Wen actually snatched the emperor from the most favored noble person halfway, and she is also the sister of Empress Niu Hulu, and her sister doesn't care, and others are still blind.

And count the days, the noble people have not slept since the Lantern Festival, the emperor has not turned over the brand for a long time, the dragon couch of the Qianqing Palace has been empty for so long, it is really time to cherish the days when the noble people are pregnant, unconsciously the palaces and halls are lively, the sadness of the death of the queen in the imperial city is getting lighter and lighter as the weather warms, the first few noble ones do not have much movement, and some small promises are always there, and they want to show their faces in front of the emperor in a different way.

In the days that followed, Xuan Ye turned over the brand much more diligently than in the year, and there were concubines and concubines to sleep every three or five times, but whether it was invited by his own ideas, or the emperor remembered to summon him, I didn't see anyone who was favored, and not everyone would keep a record of it, the emperor controlled the things at night, and he didn't snub anyone, it seemed to be lively and lively, but there were still very few people who really got the rain and dew.

In the blink of an eye in the middle of summer in June, the weather was so hot that everyone was lazy to move, it seemed that because of staring at Wu Sangui's movements, the emperor did not invite the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to the palace this year to escape the heat, and the hottest days survived, and everyone was stuffy in the house.

On this day, Hui Concubine's birthday, hindering the younger anniversary of Queen Niu Hulu, is just to invite a few familiar sisters to drink tea in the palace, and each palace sends a reward or congratulatory gift in a low-key manner. ”

An Guiren smiled at the seat: "When I wanted to take away the eldest brother, I was unceremoniously. ”

Concubine Hui hated her: "Your mouth, do you have to live in peace after suffering a lot?" Now the situation in the palace is not what it used to be, you have to take care of yourself. ”

An nobleman is stupid, thinking about it, she is indeed not doing well, the emperor is not seen much, and he has nothing to do, and his family background is also this point, several nobles were promoted to concubines, and even the cloth at that time promised to be on an equal footing with himself, and he still has a daughter under his knees, and he is probably going to die of old age in this noble position.

Thinking about it, I feel indignant, but Concubine Tong is indeed a person who can't mumble behind her back, but counting those small promises is still there, and continues unconvinced: "Didn't the Internal Affairs Office come to complain to the two sisters, is the fat powder in the womb consumed more than in previous years these days?" Those little goblins can be tossed, hanging around in the palace all day long, and they are not afraid of the sun on a hot day, so they are looking forward to meeting the emperor, one or two have learned so charming, but what is the use of fox, they have the ability to rob people halfway like Concubine Wen. ”

Before the words fell, Ji Xin came to tell Concubine Rong, saying that the palace maid who was always by Nala's side came to ask Concubine Rong to send a doctor, Concubine Rong agreed while asking if she was suffering from heat stroke, and the little palace maid who came didn't understand.

After that, the imperial doctor went, and after more than half an hour, the imperial doctor came back in person and reported to Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine, saying that Nala Changzai was pregnant, and the generation of An Guiren was naturally angry and green-faced, and Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine called the people from the Internal Affairs Office to count the days, and sure enough, it was a night of sleep on the head in May, but Nala was so lucky, a few times a year, and this time she was pregnant again.

The imperial heir is precious, Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine did not dare to be careless, Hui Concubine changed her clothes, dismissed the sisters, Rong Concubine went to Cining Palace to report, Hui Concubine came to Nala's residence, Xiao Chang was nesting on the couch, and the imperial doctor also said that there were signs of heat stroke, so let her rest in bed.

"You are so blessed, and this baby is also well raised." Hui Concubine said some decent and polite words, coaxing Nala to be happy, and soon Rong Concubine came from Cining Palace, with the reward of the Empress Dowager, the two of them spoke, Hui Concubine signaled to the side of Juezen to agree to go out, the two stood in the shade of the wind, the wind blew through the hairpin on the bun, Ding Ding crisp, she said softly, "These days in the womb is very lively, and I don't see you come out for a walk." ”

Juechan promised not to be a palace maid again, her body was plumper than before, her eyebrows were long, she was taller, she could do needlework again, and the clothes on her body were chic and elegant.

"Concubines are afraid of heat." Juechan replied with a smile, "And the Queen Mother's new clothes for autumn are already being prepared, and the concubines are slowly doing it." ”

"You bother, it's a pity that the queen is gone, even if the queen mother is happy, the boss may not be able to think of you." Concubine Hui sighed lightly, "Nala has often given birth to an elder brother, and someone will always mention it, and her blessings are good." ”

"Yes."

"But these days, the chaotic people outside are all showing up, the emperor may not really like it, and he is not in a hurry at this moment, you can stay here with Nala and help her give birth." Concubine Hui carefully advised, "You also know the noble person, she came from the palace maid like you, and took care of the noble people back then, the Empress Dowager still talks about it, the Empress Dowager likes such people, Nala is often reborn, and the Empress Dowager has to pay attention to it, and she will gradually know you." ”

Concubine Hui thought carefully for her like this, but Jue Chan's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, obviously a pair of beautiful eyes, lifeless at the moment, obviously not caring about these words at all.

"Sister, it's time to go." Over there, Concubine Rong came out of the dormitory where Nala was always there, and saw the two talking here, and called out, and when they left here together, Concubine Rong asked her, "What do you say to that child, if your family Rong comes in and is too busy to have time to enter the palace, it will be a good thing." ”

Concubine Hui looked left and right at no irrelevant people, and then whispered to Concubine Rong: "Sister, we should always find a young person to support the emperor, not for ourselves, for the future of our sons?" ”

When he said this, the holy car in front of him happened to pass by, because they were far away, and the two of them didn't have to follow, but they only heard a few palace maids behind them muttering: "When I came, I saw Zhang Promise waiting at that intersection, I don't know if it's still there." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Rong thought about what Concubine Hui had just said, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Can't we stand it?" ”

I don't know if there is anyone waiting on that road, the emperor is going to Cining Palace, because he heard that Nala is always pregnant again, so he went to the emperor's grandmother to greet a few times, by the way, congratulations, the empress dowager is naturally happy that the emperor has many children, but now he has a favorite person in his heart, it is inevitable that there is still a little selfishness, and the old man in the palace also sees the situation in the palace at the moment, and is saying to Xuan Ye at this moment: "You yourself are very good at moderation, the imperial grandmother should not have cared about you these things, but the palace is so lively now, have you thought about other people, Lan Qi worked hard to conceive a child, I heard Su Mala say, that day was intercepted by Concubine Wen halfway, you haven't seen anyone again, what's the matter, disgusted pregnant women are fat and ugly? ”

Xuan Ye shook his head and smiled helplessly: "The imperial grandmother also came to make fun of her grandson?" And when it came to Lan Qi, the emperor said angrily, "I sent someone to send some books she likes before, and the emperor's grandmother, she is now very angry, and she directly asked people to return the books to me, saying that they will not need them from now on, so that I don't have to bother." ”

"Then you're really angry and have been left since then?" The Empress Dowager also helped Lan Qi, Xuan Ye also smiled, as if she was not unhappy, and coaxed her grandmother and said, "You don't have to worry, Lan Qi understands what her grandson thinks in her heart, and she also understands her grandson's intentions." ”

"That's what you think." The old man laughed and persuaded Xuan Ye, "You have time to take a look at her, she is easy to think crankily when she is pregnant with a child, and she may not be able to understand things as before." ”
