Bu Guiren took a plate of preserved fruits, picked a piece of chopped peach flesh and handed it to Lan Qi, she looked at it and shook her head to turn her face, and said softly: "Be bitter in your mouth, but not bitter in your heart." ”

"Although I feel sorry for you, I also know that if you speak bitterly, how many people outside the Yonghe Palace will not be convinced, and how many people will not be able to live their lives." Bu Guiren sighed and said, "At the beginning of the month, An Guiren was sick, and there were many snobs in the hospital. It's a good person who is pitifully sick, it's the palace maid next to her who can't help it, so she came to ask Sister Dai, you know that she is a kind-hearted person, and she can also ask for concubines regardless of her previous suspicions, so that the imperial doctor went to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine, Sister Dai went to see her once, and sighed when she came back, saying this time and that time. ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "Sister look at me here again, cough a little twice, and the hospital will hear it, staring at it one by one, for fear that there will be a mistake." Yes, if I say that life is hard, how many people in the palace will not survive? But sister, I feel really uncomfortable today. ”

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Bu Guiren said distressedly: "It's not that I won't let you say it, you are not happy in your heart, it would be better to say it." ”

"I don't know what's wrong, I'm panicked, I'm better than others, the emperor treats me well, the queen mother treats me well, I have sons and daughters, what am I not satisfied with? But I'm ......" Lan Qi choked up and couldn't speak, and fell into Bu Guiren's arms for a long time and twitched, Bu Guiren gently stroked her back and wanted her to be smooth, but he said helplessly, "In the eyes of others, you are so flawless, and who knows the hard work behind you." Just looking at you so glorious, sometimes so dazzling that even I can't get close, Lan Qi, is this called the high place is unbearable? ”

Lan Qi had tears on her face, looking up at Bu Guiren, and Bu Guiren said gently: "I remember that Concubine Yi sat in front of Ningshou Palace and cried at that time, saying that she wanted to see the fifth elder brother, and she went to kneel and beg the next morning, which made the Empress Dowager angry, but do you dare, do you dare to do such a tricky thing?" Whether it's for the emperor or the queen mother, can you be open-minded? I often think that not only do we look at you perfectly, but you may also be perfect in the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager. You must know that you must be well-behaved, gentle, and virtuous in front of the emperor, and you can't do anything to cause trouble to the emperor, but how can you really be all-encompassing without three heads and six arms? So you can only be patient, even if you encounter something you are unwilling to do, for the sake of the overall situation of what you do, you are willing to be wronged. In the past, you were really gentle and virtuous, but now gradually, you have begun to deliberately behave gently and virtuously, haven't you? ”

"Really?" Lan Qi was stunned, muttering Bu Guiren's words, which seemed to relieve the depression in her heart, at least this time she was reluctant to send her daughter to Ningshou Palace, but she still promised the Empress Dowager to Xuan Ye, and said generously and sensibly that she would send the child away after birth, but none of them were sincere.

Think about it again, even if she said it impulsively at that time to make the Queen Mother happy, and she was afraid that the Queen Mother would be unhappy, so she decided this matter, but in fact, she could still fight for herself, but the Queen Mother's words, Xuan Ye's words, she couldn't help but be that gentle and virtuous Wu Ya Lanqi, and forcibly killed her original intention, and now she regrets it and is sad, what's the point?

"Although we are still young, we are not the little girls we used to be." Bu Guiren smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe away Lan Qi's tears, "Sometimes people inevitably want to do something against their will, just say that the women in this palace are sent to us, how many times have we not been polite?" Moreover, if you want to live a prosperous life in the palace, where is it so easy. You just look at the imperial concubine, you don't remember, in the early years, when you were still a constant favor, she was so jealous that she was crazy, and she didn't count you by tossing you openly, and secretly used Duanjing to threaten me to hurt you. After so many years, the current imperial concubine is basically two people. Think about it, seeing the Queen Mother tie her hands and tails, how will she live if she tosses like that again? Of course, we have to be flexible, and it's normal for us to be flexible once in a while. ”

Lan Qi's heart calmed down, and she burst into tears and smiled: "My sister is much stronger now than before, and she can say so many words to explain me." ”

Bu Guiren smiled: "Zhong Cui Palace is very lively, the concubine is very popular, people often come to the door, women get together to gossip, I still learn from them here." ”

Lan Qi's mood seemed to be better, Bu Guiren asked the palace maid to bring water to wash her face, and after cleaning up, she handed over the candied fruit, she only ate some at this time, Bu Guiren laughed at her: "Don't dare to cry in the confinement, you will break your eyes." ”

"Don't cry, live a good life, why am I crying?" Lan Qi let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I know that I care too much about the feelings of the emperor and the empress dowager, and I am always grateful for what I have gotten in front of me, and I feel that I am so virtuous and capable that I want to do better and not cause them any trouble." It's not so much that I do something against my will, but that I'm used to facing it this way, and I always feel that I shouldn't and can't go against them. ”

"But there will always be something reluctant in my heart, I guess......" Bu Guiren asked softly, "Send the princess to Ningshou Palace, whether it was your idea or not, you knew it in advance, right?" ”

Lan Qi nodded, and Bu Guiren smiled bitterly: "That's right, we all said that how could the emperor treat you like that, he must have discussed it with you." ”

"I've discussed it, I'm reluctant anyway, but I can only say this to my sister." Lan Qi curled up, full of helplessness, "I want to fight again, if I resolutely don't agree, the emperor will follow me, but I'm afraid that then he will think I'm not good, it's this mentality that makes me feel panicked." ”

Bu Guiren smiled: "This mentality is right, what have you not done in proportion over the years?" Don't forget, a companion is like a tiger. ”

Lan Qi was shocked, wasn't she? Closed the door and pulled up the tent, she and Xuan Ye are children and daughters, and they are a young couple who can laugh and play, but the big thing is that it is wrong, even if it is just walking out of the door of this dormitory, he is the supreme emperor.

"They all said that sooner or later you have to take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and if you say something disrespectful, they won't let you touch your hands now, but it's because they want you to serve the Empress Dowager, and after the old man returns to Yaochi, you must not be able to shirk it, otherwise why would the Empress Dowager cultivate you so carefully?" Bu Guiren said very truthfully, "You see that Concubine Rong is so busy now, and you must be so busy that you can't even think of these things when the time comes." ”

Lan Qi just laughed, thinking in her heart that Xuan Ye gave her not only love, but also responsibility, if the matter of her daughter was attributed to responsibility, it seemed to be more comfortable.

Two days later, after the taboo days in the delivery room, Xuan Ye came to see Lan Qi, and he was with him for two or three hours, Lan Qi was also unproductive, and he complained so much to Sister Bu that day, and was coaxed by Xuan Ye in three or two sentences, and everything that was unhappy was thrown out of the clouds, as if he was destined to be eaten to death by Xuan Ye, as long as he saw his smile, he could not care about anything.

The little princess washed the third in Cining Palace, Xuan Ye also came over in person after seeing Lan Qi, the queen mother couldn't put down her granddaughter, and always praised the child for being beautiful and cute, and the queen mother liked it even more, saying that this girl grew up and must be as beautiful as her mother. After the ceremony, the Queen Mother said that she would take the child to Lan Qi to see, but the Queen Mother said that the child was too young not to be hugged around, and it was not too late to wait for the confinement to come out, but when the Queen Mother left and Xuan Ye was about to leave, the Queen Mother kept him and asked: "You sent your daughter to Ningshou Palace, just to prevent her from marrying far away in the future?" ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were a little surprised and embarrassed to be seen through, but he immediately smiled, "No matter how good your grandson is, she is not as good as the imperial grandmother's mind." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's not the mind, it's my children who feel sorry for me." ”

Xuan Ye lowered his head and said: "Because of that unfilial thought, my grandson doesn't want to mention it, even if I don't have to say it to Lan Qi so clearly, my grandson himself understands it in his heart." ”

"Xuan Ye." The Empress Dowager pulled the emperor to her side and asked him with a smile, "Do you like Lan Qi so much?" Didn't the royal grandmother pick the wrong person for you? ”

Xuan Ye smiled proudly: "Lan Qi was chosen by his grandson himself, but if you didn't agree back then, you probably wouldn't be where you are today." What the imperial grandmother asked was that her grandson liked her, and now it is not uncommon to give her whether she has a noble position or gold, silver and jewelry, and I just hope that she will be safe and can accompany me for a lifetime. ”

The words of the ancestors and grandchildren, Mama Su Mala was also listening to them, but she didn't quite understand, and only waited for the emperor to leave before the empress dowager said to her: "Xuan Ye should be afraid that after a hundred years, the empress dowager will become the most honorable person in this palace, but you know, she is a person who has no backbone, and she may have been instigated and tempted by something to change her mind." She was unhappy when she was the queen, and she was still the daughter-in-law as the queen mother, who knows if she has any resentment in her heart, the fifth elder brother is the son of Concubine Yi after all, maybe she and Concubine Yi will be fine in the future. Now that Lan Qi's daughter is sent over, she and Lan Qi have also been maintained, even if the climate changes in the harem when I leave, for the sake of the princess, the Queen Mother will at least not have an estrangement with Lan Qi, Xuan Ye thinks long-term. ”

Su Mala said with a smile: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, both of them feel sorry for each other, and they have this thought, and they can last for a long time." "He even said, "The sixth elder brother has been in Chengqian Palace in the past few days, and he has had a good time with the fourth elder brother, I don't know what Concubine De said to the child that day, the fourth elder brother is lively again, and the imperial concubine is also happy." ”

The old man loved to hear this, and asked Mama Su Mala to turn around and bring the two children to accompany her. And speaking of the sixth elder brother likes to stick to the fourth elder brother, there are so many brothers and sisters, as if they are born with blood, the sixth elder brother's favorite is his own brother, and he can play with his brother these days, and when he comes to greet his mother every day, he never leaves his brother.

On this day, while asking Lan Qi to say goodbye, while waiting for the imperial concubine to take him to Ningshou Palace to see his little sister, the imperial concubine arrived when the mother and son spoke, and the fourth elder brother entered the door very politely to greet Concubine De's mother, but Yinzuo only pulled his brother to speak, but was blamed by Yinzhen: "Why are you always rude, when you see my mother, you have to salute first, how many times have I taught you?" ”
