175 days of love
"Yinzuo, this is Wen Niangniang, let Wen Niangniang hug her." Seeing his son crying, Lan Qi coaxed him repeatedly, but the little guy hugged Lan Qi's neck and refused to let go, Concubine Wen touched him well, if Lan Qi wanted to let go and let her hug, Yinzuo would cry loudly, which made Lan Qi's ears hurt.
"Did he think that you didn't want him anymore and sent him here?" Concubine Wen was at a loss, but she still smiled happily, "It's better to go first, the sixth elder brother must have never seen this place, and he has recognized his life." ”
It is common for children to cry, Lan Qi saw that Concubine Wen was so generous, and she was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "He is the most skinny in the number of days, and today he is reserved." While patting Yinzuo's buttocks to train him not to cry, he was hugged into the door, but the sixth elder brother cried, the baby stopped crying, and the group entered the house, Concubine Wen led the mother and son directly to the cradle, and the child who was born not long ago fell asleep after a while.
Yinzuo saw the child in the cradle who was younger than himself, and smaller than the Yinyou he had seen, he immediately relaxed his vigilance, and after being put down by Eniang, he pulled the cradle to look at it, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but his arm was too short, and he was unlawless once or twice, so he hummed and chirped and pestered the nurse next to him to hug, Lan Qi told not to let his son wake up the eighth elder brother, so he left the nurses to take care of him, and he and Concubine Wen withdrew.
Dong Yun had already gathered all kinds of refreshments and set up a table extravagantly, Lan Qi smiled: "There are so many things, how can the concubine finish eating." ”
"Taste everything, I told you, there is nothing else in Xianfu Palace, there are a lot of delicious things, bring Yinzuo out in a while, he saw that Wen Niangniang has so many delicious things here, he must come often in the future, I don't want to move you, it's easy to deceive children." Concubine Wen was overjoyed, pulled Lan Qi to sit down with her, and pushed the delicate snacks on the table to her.
And Dongyun moved a delicate and small tea stove, opened a can of water in front of him, Lan Qi smiled and asked where the spring water was, but Concubine Wen said: "It's the dew on the flowers I picked in the old summer, every evening a thunderstorm washes away the dust, and the dew on the flowers is very clear the next morning, bit by bit, I only got this can all summer, I still want to keep it to coax the emperor, but it's better for you to drink." You sniff it. ”
Lan Qi is also good at tea ceremony, I have heard that there are literati and gentlemen collecting dew, but that is the most labor-intensive thing, she doesn't have this mind, always feel that it sounds good to say Yaxing, in fact, it is obviously a very idle person, only to have the heart to do this, at this moment I smell the faint fragrance of flowers in the water, remembering that in the summer of the old year, she accompanied the Queen Mother to recuperate in the palace, and I don't know anything about the palace, and at that time, the Zen family was the only favorite, and Concubine Wen's days must be more leisurely, but in a blink of an eye, the Chan family gave birth to the prince, but it was raised in her name, the things in the palace, No one can guess what the future holds.
"This water is too fragrant to make tea, it will wash the aroma of tea and become nondescript. The concubines don't dare to drink tea for fear of not sleeping well at night, Niangniang can have nectar here, which can be used to exchange for a bowl of honey tea, which must be the sweetest. Lan Qi smiled and returned the jar to Dong Yun, and persuaded Concubine Wen, "Rare good water, don't spoil each other with tea." ”
Concubine Wen sighed: "Sure enough, you know, I was going to coax the emperor to use it, and I was going to use the best tea, but I was glad that there was no joke." Then he instructed Dongyun, "Bring the acacia nectar that the Queen Mother appreciated me in the year." ”
At this time, seeing the Xianghe next to Juechan's side, he came to salute, saying that he was thanking Concubine Wen for rewarding the past, it was originally Lan Qi's side that set up a table of things, and Concubine Wen also sent some, she was very polite, and instructed Xianghe: "Your master should eat more, his body hasn't been raised for so long, don't eat it secretly, I'll let Dongyun get you some more." ”
Lan Qi watched from the side, and saw that Xianghe's face was also happy, the relationship between the master and the slave in this Xianfu Palace was not bad, only waiting for the people to leave, Concubine Wen said to Lan Qi: "When we talk about it, if you want to go before you go, go and see if Jue Chan is always there, now only we are sitting and talking." ”
"The concubine listens to you." Lan Qi is naturally a guest and a host.
"Speaking of which, I myself wonder how I am in such good spirits every day in recent years, but every month when I get to those days, I am so soft that I can't talk, I have abdominal pain and backache and feel uncomfortable, but as soon as the days pass, I am very energetic every day, and now I listen to the doctor that it is my body that is too full of blood, so it is not strange for me to think like this." Concubine Wen supported her head with one hand and sighed, "Right now, the imperial doctor is being detained by the empress dowager, and I can't see it, I really want to ask if his medical skills are too mediocre, or if he deliberately harmed me, or was he manipulated by others?" De concubine, you say, what is there to harm a person like me? ”
Lan Qi said: "The concubine doesn't understand these ways, the concubine only knows that you are the daughter of the Niu Hulu family after all, and the sister of the queen's mother." ”
"Really?" Concubine Wen's face suddenly darkened, picked up the chopsticks and ate the snacks, and said slowly, "So no matter how much I want to get rid of them, I am destined to never get rid of them for the rest of my life?" Do you think it will be ......?"
A three-fresh steamed dumpling was placed on a plate in front of Lan Qi, and Concubine Wen looked at her and said, "What if the emperor instructed that imperial doctor to drug me?" When I went to Cining Palace like this, didn't I do it against the emperor? ”
"...... How to say that. Lan Qi was stunned, and even remembered the cold light that flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes just now, could it be that the Empress Dowager also thought so, or did she think too much about herself?
Concubine Wen smiled bitterly: "That imperial doctor, it was assigned to me by the emperor, I begged the emperor not to let Ah Ling's eyes stare at me again, although I know that removing a imperial doctor can't get rid of other people, but if you don't know, forget it, you know, I really don't want to see him every day." The emperor promised me, and the next day he appointed a new imperial doctor, until now. ”
"Your Majesty, how could he do such a thing." Lan Qi shook her head.
"My sister has never slept much, the emperor doesn't like her in the first place, and it's normal to have no children." Concubine Wen's face was sad, and there was despair in her eyes that she didn't know what to do, and the joy of seeing the guests had faded, and she said quietly, "But the emperor is very good to me, and on days when I don't come, I will occasionally send people to ask me how I am. Even if I made such a big deal in the Chengqian Palace, after he made it clear to me, he didn't dislike me at all. If I am sick, I will send people to inquire from time to time, I feel that my life is much better than that of my sister, and my concubine is a hundred times stronger than her. But today, I suddenly heard that I was taking the wrong medicine, and my heart was cold, and I felt colder than when I first met my sister's cold body. ”
"If it's someone else, you shouldn't think like this, how can it be good to wronged the emperor? The emperor likes children so much, although there are rules for staying or not staying, but even if he promises to stay there all these years, he has never left anything behind, and it can't be counted on you. ”
Lan Qi tried her best to comfort Concubine Wen, but she had no bottom in her heart, Xuan Ye in her eyes, she couldn't imagine that the emperor would be so ruthless, not to mention that over the years, low-level concubines had given birth to a lot, even if they were favored overnight, they didn't say that they would not stay, Bu Guiren and Dai Chang were there, and they all had imperial heirs, why did Xuan Ye ......
Why? Isn't it because of the low-level concubines that it doesn't matter, and Concubine Wen is the daughter of Niu Hulu's family, and Concubine Tong is not good at giving birth to herself, maybe it's really Xuan Ye's doing?
"We can't wronged the emperor first." Lan Qi said this, and warned herself over and over again in her heart, how could she doubt Xuan Ye, are there still few evil-minded people in this palace? It must not be Xuan Ye.
"If it weren't for the emperor, I would feel much better." Concubine Wen paused, lowered her eyes and didn't know what to think, and then continued, "I want to wait for the emperor to return to Luan, and personally ask him if he is, as long as the emperor should not be me, I will never think about it again, no matter who it is, it doesn't matter if I know it or not, anyway, there are a lot of self-deceptions in my life." ”
Lan Qi stared at her, and in Concubine Wen's eyes, she saw a little bit of the same expression as herself. She has always understood that whether she enters the palace by draft, or whether she comes from the palace maid like this, not everyone has a real love for the emperor, Juechan is the best example, and those who have affection for Xuan Ye like her, Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine are probably, but at this moment she feels that the little Niu Hulu clan in front of her always keeps saying that she entered the palace to give birth to a boy and half a girl for Queen Niu Hulu, and now look, she seems to have a love for Xuan Ye.
Women are very sensitive and delicate, the nobles and Dai Chang around Lan Qi are there, they are very different from the emperor and themselves, they are in awe of the emperor and have a flattered attitude towards everything, while Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine are different, there are subtle differences here, Lan Qi understands in her heart that the current Concubine Wen, in every sentence, is full of suspicion of her own feelings, she is probably in love with Xuan Ye, so she will care so much about whether the emperor drugged her.
"I will take good care of my body, I want to have my own children, although the eighth elder brother is cute, he is not my child after all, and it is quite pitiful that Juezen is always there, I don't want to deprive her of the right to be a mother." Concubine Wen smiled slightly, as if she was full of reverie for the future, "I want to live better than my sister, live openly, just looking at you, I feel that there is hope for the future, you can rest assured, I will not fight with you for anything, and I have long told you that I will not harm you." I know that you are jealous of me in your heart, and people outside also say that I am yin and yang, but I don't care, as long as I can have a good time, it will be. ”
Lan Qi lowered her head and said softly: "In the past, the body was weak and cold, and the concubines followed the Empress Dowager to take medicine to recuperate, and after a year and a half, there will be a fourth elder brother and a sixth elder brother. Now that the Empress Dowager knows about this, and the concubines also know about it, no matter who did it, the Cining Palace will not look at it, and you can rest assured that you can take care of your body. ”
Concubine Wen asked: "Concubine De, then you say, should I personally ask the emperor about this matter?" ”
