Sure enough, before the words fell, Baoyun came in to invite Hui Concubine to dinner, the master and servant dispersed without a trace, Baoyun looked strange and did not move, Hui Concubine has always been very polite to her, even if she suspects something in her heart, she will not let the master not come to the stage in person, the Queen Mother sent her, mostly to deter, but if there is any doubt in her heart, just report it, and she does not have to check anything personally.

However, not to mention that Concubine Hui vaguely bumped into Prince Gong in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace and became suspicious, it was Lan Qi herself, who rushed out of the Forbidden City with her head and went to the outside of the capital on her bicycle, when the wheels were rolling endlessly, she herself suddenly calmed down first, as if she had woken up, and was busy shouting to stop, Prince Gong thought that there was something important, so he turned around and said with concern: "What is the matter with Niangniang?" ”

At this time, Lan Qi was even more embarrassed, and her cheeks reddened slightly and said: "The next day, the imperial doctor will ask me for a pulse, if Huan Chun says that I am sick, I will send someone to take a look, how can I hide from it?" Can the prince send someone back again, or tell the Queen Mother? ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor instructed his ministers when he was leaving, leave a credible person in the palace, and go to Cining Palace early tomorrow morning to make a report." The emperor said that this matter is very inappropriate, and the Empress Dowager may be angry, but the important thing is to bring you out and discuss the rest later. The minister does not dare to pretend to pass the holy decree, please follow the minister with peace of mind, the emperor is not far from Beijing, let's walk faster, and we can reach the place where the emperor stays before midnight. ”

"So close? Wouldn't it be possible to return to Beijing tomorrow, and why should it take three days? Lan Qi was full of doubts, but when she asked, she felt that she was causing trouble to Prince Gong, and they worked hard to run back and forth, and they had to listen to her mother-in-law, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Then let's go quickly, don't ask the emperor to wait." ”

Chang Ning responded: "Then please sit tight." ”

After that, the carriage and horses traveled more urgently, and the bumps were so bad that Lan Qi's bones were going to fall apart, but fortunately, the driver was skilled, although it was inevitable that the bumps were unavoidable, and it was not so dangerous that she had to throw her out, only to wait until her ears were buzzing, and when it was getting darker and darker outside, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Lan Qi heard the movement in front of her that seemed to be a customs inspection, and it didn't take long for Prince Gong to come to ask her: "Niangniang get off." ”

When I went out, it was dark, and at this moment it was a dark night when there was no light and I couldn't see my fingers, Prince Gong made a lantern and handed it to her embarrassedly and said: "The hard work of the lady is in her own hands, forgive the ministers for being presumptuous, you are now a palace maid, tomorrow the emperor will personally tell you, before the minister takes you into the camp tent, if someone asks on the road, you are the palace maid." ”

Lan Qi's heart jumped suddenly, and for no reason there was some excitement, holding the lantern in his hand and following Prince Gong step by step, stopping in front of the big tent, sure enough, this place was heavily guarded, and even Prince Gong could not easily enter the imperial tent, and walked into the brightly lit tent nervously, but Prince Gong immediately turned around to leave, only bowed and said: "Niangniang has worked hard, and the minister has retired." ”

"Wang ......" Lan Qi wanted to stop and ask again, but Chang Ning had already left, and the reason why she still had questions was because half of the figure in this tent was missing, didn't she say that Xuan Ye wanted to see her, what about people?

Blowing out the lantern and resting on the ground, she took off her cloak, which was surrounded by spring clothes, and there was a large mirror standing in the tent, she stood in front of her and looked at herself, and took a sip of her hair that was bumped and loose, and then put the hairpin back on, but she felt tired when she raised her hand to serve, and the continuous carriage and horse bumping, her limbs and hundreds of bones seemed to float out of her body, and the person was floating soft.

was stretching his muscles with his hands on his waist, hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and I didn't know what the people outside said, but when he saw that the curtain in front of the tent was lifted, and Xuan Ye, who was dressed in golden armor, was impressive, Lan Qi's heart suddenly shook, and he stood in place at a loss.

No one followed up behind the emperor, he entered the door and saw Lan Qi standing in front of the mirror in a palace maid's clothes, and he was also in a trance, and he was very happy in his heart, but he smiled and said: "Where did the palace maid come from, see me and don't salute?" That's it, come and take off my armor. ”

Lan Qi moved forward in response, but her brain turned and stopped, pouting and looking at Xuan Ye with a huff, the two sides stared at each other, Xuan Ye couldn't hold it, and smiled and got tired of holding Lan Qi into his arms, the cold and hard armor didn't feel so terrible, and if they didn't see each other for more than half a month, whoever saw it was a fire in their hearts.

"The concubine is not a palace maid anymore, but she wears the clothes of a palace maid." Lan Qi said softly, and said in Xuan Ye's arms, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, can the emperor be okay on this trip?" Emperor...... Do you want to be a concubine? ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were full of smiles, and he pecked her lightly on the cheek and said, "I think about it so much, I can't wait to travel thousands of miles a day to see you." ”

Lan Qijiao smiled: "What about the Empress Dowager, you also miss the imperial grandmother." ”

Xuan Ye pinched her waist: "Hypocrisy, quickly take off my armor, and then go to review the army's night march, and during the day, I have been mixed among the soldiers all day, covered in dust." In a moment they will bring hot water and wash me well. ”

Lan Qi whispered: "The concubine has been bumpy for most of the night, and her body is sweaty, and the stickiness is also very uncomfortable. ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "Do you want to ...... together?"

"Don't."

Naturally not, Lan Qi found that she seemed to be in the barracks, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But later, when the two of them were refreshing and snuggled together, Xuan Ye told her that she was not really in the barracks, but just came back halfway to take a look, and was escorted by people from the army.

At that time, Lan Qi sighed: "It turns out that you are not in the barracks?" ”

Xuan Ye immediately rushed forward: "So what? What do I want to do? ”

Lan Qi knew that she couldn't escape tonight, Mo said that Xuan Ye was covered in fire, she herself hadn't seen her beloved for more than half a month, and she blinked away from the palace in the middle of the night in this wilderness, and the uneasiness and confusion in her heart gradually changed the taste, and then when she was really in Xuan Ye's arms, it instantly turned into soft affection, but Jiao Didi said: "The concubine is afraid that she can't, the carriage is really bumpy, and her whole body hurts, and she is so tired that she is sleepy." ”

Xuan Ye's big hand brushed her body as if it was as soft as a boneless, rubbing and kneading it lightly or heavily, coaxing her: "I will rub it for you, and it won't hurt." ”

Lan Qi's delicate skin turned red inch by inch under Xuan Ye's hands, although it was not the first time to go to the camp tent, but this experience was really rare, and it had the meaning of being a newlywed after a long absence, * There is no need to repeat it, but when she got up the next morning, Lan Qi felt even more weak and weak, but Xuan Ye was in good spirits, leaving her alone to rest for a long time, and she went to busy with important things.

The emperor asked her if she was hungry, and when she heard that she had bought some snacks, she smiled: "I took you to a place to have a look, I passed by when I left Beijing, and they said that if they came back in time to see the grand scene, I didn't expect to meet it, so let's go." ”

Lan Qi stopped and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do with the Queen Mother?" Other people are not afraid of gossiping about the concubines, but they are afraid that the queen mother will be angry. ”

"There is always me, the imperial grandmother still doesn't know your temper and mine, don't think about it when you come out, I want you to be happy and let Chang Ning pick him up, don't let him work hard in vain." Xuan Ye didn't care, and then he took the "palace maid" to travel generously, and the people who accompanied him saw very few concubines, there were palace maids on this trip, and the emperor brought a few over, or they all stayed in the original team to follow the prince, who cares.

But there is one less concubine in the palace, or today's favorite concubine De Concubine, but no one cares, the night passed, I don't know where the rumors came from in the palace, saying that the concubine and Prince Gong had an affair and escaped, the words were completely ugly, and they poked the sensitive place of the palace fiercely, but it was so coincidental that the concubine said that she was sick and closed the door.

The people in the palace are curious, and they don't want to go to Yonghe Palace to find out, but after all, Lan Qi has the respect of a virtuous concubine, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother don't speak, or Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen don't care, the door of Yonghe Palace is really easy to enter, when I heard about it in Cining Palace in the morning, the Queen Mother believed that Lan Qi was sick and sent the imperial doctor to take a look, but after going back, the imperial doctor's words were ambiguous, and said that he hadn't seen me.

The Empress Dowager was really angry, and then sent Mama Su Mala to see, Huanchun couldn't stop it, so that Mama saw the empty dormitory with her own eyes, and the one who stretched out her arm through the curtain just now to check the pulse was also filled with green beads, and several people knelt down and begged Mama not to tell the Empress Dowager, and Mama twisted her ears and scolded: "Confused things, can the Empress Dowager hide it?" If you keep it hidden, no matter how ugly it is, it will come out. ”

But when Mama turned back to Cining Palace uneasily, the Empress Dowager told her: "No need to check, it's out of the palace." Someone came to tell me just now, saying that Xuan Ye asked Chang Ning to pick people up, I was afraid that I would not agree to cut it first and then play, everyone came to Xuan Ye's side in the middle of the night last night, and I only came to tell it early this morning. Xuan Ye is messing around, Lan Qi's kid has no brains, she refuses to do such a thing, does Chang Ning still tie her up? Two confused things, in the palace, in the relatives, I don't know what to say about this, Xuan Ye is still with the prince. ”

Mama can only persuade: "After all, it is not publicized, but it is just a rumor without a shadow, when the emperor An Ansheng comes back, and the concubine is good in front of people, if the emperor doesn't care, it is useless for those people to say anything." Don't be angry yet, fortunately, everyone is safe, and it's not too late for you to teach you a few words when you come back. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "The lesson is inevitable, the tighter I control Lan Qi, the more she will understand the importance in the future, and the more noble she will be in front of others." I was worried about something bad just now and was irritable, knowing that they were all good, let's have fun for a few days, it's not easy to be an emperor, and it's even more difficult to be an emperor's woman. ”

A pair of people far away outside the capital, completely ignorant of the excitement in the palace, as if letting go of all their worries, Xuan Ye took Lan Qi all the way out of the camp tent, and after walking away, he took her to ride together, and rode straight to the camp tent a few miles away, as if climbing a high slope, but when it was near, Xuan Ye blindfolded her with a handkerchief, and then slowly led the horse forward, Lan Qi was carried down by him from the high horse in a panic, and followed carefully step by step, only to hear Xuan Ye say: "There are a lot of stones here, take it slowly, don't be in a hurry......"

"Your Majesty, untie the veil, the concubine is dizzy." Lan Qi was blindfolded, with a sense of light but couldn't see anything, but fortunately, she finally settled in one place, and was hugged by the emperor around her waist, she struggled a little and said, "Your Majesty, others have seen it." ”

"They are all turned behind their heads, which looks, it's eventful." Xuan Ye hated her, and then untied the veil slightly, revealing a little light to let her get used to, and when she said that she could open her eyes, she suddenly pulled out the silk scarf, and heard Lan Qi's surprised voice, and the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

What catches your eye is a vast peach blossom forest, condescending, full of red, delicate and soft colors, peach blossoms are not unusual, what is strange is that Lan Qi has never seen so many peach blossoms blooming together.

Xuan Ye smiled: "The sky is high and wide here, so it is really a flower appreciation, I know that you must also be bored with the constraints of the four high walls of the Forbidden City, and I am the same, let alone you?" ”

Lan Qi felt that her body was light, the spring breeze was slow, and occasionally a few wisps of extremely faint fragrance were almost elusive, and even she imagined it herself, but she felt that her muscles and bones were relaxed, and her whole body was free, maybe it was also what Xuan Ye said, the sky is high and the sky is wide here, and there is no restraint.

"When I left Beijing, I passed by here, and I heard that if you go back to Beijing in time, you can see the blooming scene, but if the weather is not good, sooner or later, you won't be able to see it, but I don't know if it's your fate, or my fate, in the end, I must want you to come and see, although I sent Chang Ning, I'm still afraid that you won't come." Xuan Ye hugged Lan Qi, couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers but could smell the breath around her neck, and said with a smile, "When I came back to see Chang Ning, that kid was still playing dumb riddles with me, and I was worried that I wouldn't see you before I entered the tent, so you came." It's only been half a month, why do I miss you so much this time? ”

"Your Majesty?" Lan Qi didn't understand either.

But Xuan Ye had an answer, snuggled up to her, and his words were full of sadness: "I have placed the mausoleums of the two queens, and after that, there is only one thing left to pay tribute every year, repair the tomb and repair the mausoleum, what else can I do?" They were all my wives in the past, but they all left me, Niu Hulu was okay, and Queen Hesheri shared the hardships with me, but they couldn't share the blessings, Lan Qi...... You promised me, we will be with you for the rest of our lives. ”

"The emperor's ......" Lan Qi's heart was warm and painful, only to understand why Xuan Ye was so impulsive to get himself out of the palace, mixed emotions entangled him, he couldn't wait to go to the palace to solve it again, he would never forget the back of the emperor in the rain curtain outside the Qianqing Palace, the reluctance to his deceased wife was not the old love she should be jealous of, but the proof that this man was worthy of trust, if he was ruthless, what was his affection?

Lan Qi smiled coquettishly: "The concubine has promised several times, and if you ask again, the concubine will charge interest." ”

"You......" Xuan Ye's mood suddenly brightened, picked her up, turned around and kissed, "How to calculate the interest?" Is it tonight? ”

"Your Majesty!" Thinking that the guards behind might hear it, Wu Ya Lanqi's face was redder than the peach blossoms.

And at this moment, in the deep palace, there is a lively scene in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, it seems that there are concubines who want to come to explore the disease, Huanchun is not allowed to enter, there is inevitably some verbal dispute, the adjacent Chengqian Palace also heard the movement, Tong Guifei listened to Qinglian impatiently, Huo Ran got up and said: "Annoyed to death." ”
