The previous time Chen Lan entered the palace to sit in a sedan chair was a privilege, this time because of the queen's funeral, the harem was solemn, and there were no foreign ministers and princes in and out, Chen Lan came in with the stool carrying Zhu's all the way, although she walked a long way, but she will now be raised for a few months, in good health, and she doesn't care about these. From the Shunde Gate into the East Long Street, all the way to the north of the third palace, is the Xianyang Palace.

Xianyang Palace is one of the six palaces in the east, located in the east of Dongyi Long Street, the first palace from north to south, and has always been the residence of the imperial concubine or concubine second only to the queen. As Concubine De, it was originally not the turn to live here, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he respected his mother as the queen mother, and the Empress Dowager Zhu's elbow naturally turned to her mother's house, so her niece pointed out Xianyang Palace to her after carrying it into the palace.

The five main halls in the front yard are the Xianyang Palace, the top of the Yellow Glazed Tile Mountain, and it has always been the main hall where Concubine De lives. The main hall in the backyard is empty, and there is a beautiful woman living in the east and west side halls on both sides. Concubine De likes to be pure, the emperor doesn't come often, and the two beauties in the backyard have almost fallen out of favor, so this Xianyang Palace is just the right one, and it is a little deserted.

Since Zhu's small stroke had not completely healed, the stool was carried directly into the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, Chen Lan saw two palace maids hurriedly greeted him, both of them quickly helped up the Zhu family, and someone moved a special Taishi chair for her to sit on, and then two sturdy little fire men came up and carried people straight inside. Chen Lan hurriedly followed, but at this time, an elderly palace maid came up with a smile and stretched out her hand to stop her without doubt.

"Third Miss, please stay, Niangniang wants to talk to Mrs. Tai first."

Chen Lan had never seen Concubine Zhu De, and this time he entered the palace only because the Zhu family wanted her to follow, so he didn't care when he heard this at this time, nodded and stopped. She was about to retreat with the other two palace people who had stepped forward to serve, but she found that the two small firefighters carrying the Taishi chair in front of her had stopped. The Zhu family above slapped the armrest heavily with his right hand, and then glared at the old palace man with sharp eyes, his face full of anger. When the old palace man saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mrs., it's not that the slave maid makes her own opinion, it's really a mother's ......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Zhu slap the armrest twice hard, and immediately didn't dare to continue to explain. Thinking about Concubine Zhu De's usual obedience to Zhu's aunt, if she is really stubborn, she will be unlucky in the end, she calculated and calculated, and had to say helplessly: "In this case, the slave maid let the third lady accompany Mrs. Tai in." ”

Seeing Zhu Shi rushing to his chin, Chen Lan also followed. When I entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, I saw Concubine De was crooked on the kang, her face was sallow, and when she found that it was her and the Zhu family, she was stunned at first, and then she shouted in a low voice: "Auntie, I finally looked forward to you."

Chen Lan did not salute immediately, but waited for the Taishi chair to be put down, and helped the Zhu family down with the palace maid, and waited for Concubine De to signal the exemption from the courtesy, she placed the person on the west end of the kang and sat down, and then took a few steps back and bowed down on the brocade mattress set up by the palace maid. After only one bow, she could hear the Shoude Concubine shouting: "Hurry up, don't be polite"

After getting up, she saw that a palace maid had already set up a brocade pier next to the Zhu family at the west end of the kang, so she took a few steps back and sat down quietly. Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, the Zhu family gestured to Concubine De, followed by the palace maids in the room who quietly retreated out, and the elderly palace man who walked at the end deliberately looked at her when he passed by her, and then he steadily walked out of the house, thinking that he was Concubine De's henchman, who went outside to look at the wind.

Concubine De has always been straightforward in front of the Zhu family, and at this time, she took off the cloth towel on her forehead, and said with an anxious face: "Auntie, I came to you today, it's really because I'm so anxious these days, you just want me to meet the three girls, and you don't have to choose to ...... at this time."

She knew that Zhu couldn't speak, but now she can't care about this, she thought that the other party would have to pick up a pen and write and draw on paper, who knew that Zhu looked at her for a while, and said lightly: "Three girls, you have seen it in the imperial garden before, why do you have to see it at this time?" I took her because she was my eyes, my arms, my mind"

Although the fact that Zhu can speak is amazing, it is not as shocking as these three consecutive nouns, and Concubine Zhu Defei was stunned for a moment. She is in the deep palace, and because she is the niece of the former queen mother, she is jealous, so she doesn't know a lot of things. After hesitating for a while, she looked at Chen Lan again, and then decided to suppress those doubts for the time being.

"Auntie, I'll tell you the truth. Since the queen went to fight, the two in the palace immediately went-for-tat. Concubine Shu was the first to enter the palace after the emperor ascended the throne, and King Jin was the eldest prince except King Zhou, so she looked at the position of the middle palace. Although Luo Guifei is said to have little qualifications, after all, there is a King Lu, and the concubine has always been the head of the concubines, and her maternal brother has now made such a meritorious achievement, coupled with the new and old hatreds in the past, she is naturally not far behind. Originally, they pinched them, it's none of my business, but I don't know which bastard thing in my palace is, I actually said to people that I am the niece of the first queen mother, and the emperor loves the most, and this time it is definitely going to be sealed."

Speaking of this, Concubine De was angry and anxious, and threw the white cloth towel that she had held in the palm of her hand on the ground: "If I let me know which bastard thing it is, I will have to kill him with a cane."

"What's the use of being angry at this time" Zhu shook his head angrily, and then asked, "Since this person can let others know that he is from Xianyang Palace, and you can't find out, it is enough to prove that others have calculated that you are not a day or two Niangniang, not that I said you, these many years in the palace, the manpower around you is the most important, you can't stare at one by one, but you can't easily let people take advantage of the loopholes, others don't care, what is the emperor's reaction?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Concubine De's face showed a little embarrassment, and then she sighed and said, "Since the queen went, the emperor often went to Kunning Palace to sit alone, from that day to now, he has not summoned a concubine, during which he went to Concubine Wuxian's Changle Palace twice, and looked at King Zhou and left after talking, and Concubine Luo and Concubine Shu also went there once." As for me, I didn't come once. As for whether those words reached the emperor's ears, I really don't know in my heart, after all, I can't hear from them at all......"

Chen Lan had just heard Zhu describe himself like that, and he was quite emotional in his heart, and at this time, listening to Concubine De explain this, his anxiety was overflowing, and his brain spun rapidly. After thinking about it, she remembered the awakening that Chen Yan gave Luo Xu at that moment, and then thought of the Luo family's sudden surge, and she unconsciously moved in her heart.

"Lan'er, you have been with the queen for so long before, and you have also met the emperor, what do you think?"

Chen Lan raised her head when she heard this, and saw Concubine De's face full of surprise, while Zhu asked her about her situation as usual, she settled down and bowed and said, "Old lady, when I was with the queen, I was just talking about trivial matters, how dare I judge the emperor." However, now that I think about it, the queen seems to have some premonitions at that time, and she has already looked down on the situation of life and death. Moreover, forgive me for saying a bold word, as far as I saw in the palace those days, the emperor has a deep affection for the queen, and just by looking at the closed Kunning Palace now, I know that the emperor may not immediately be ordained. ”

"Even if the emperor refuses, after all, the storage position has been empty for a long time, and the courtiers have no bottom in their hearts"

Seeing Concubine De's rebuttal, Chen Lan said in a deep voice: "What Concubine De said is true, the canonization of the prince is not so much the heart of Emperor An as the heart of An Qunchen, and this is the same in the future." Now when the emperor is grieving, if someone is just looking at Kunning Palace and the storage position at this moment, then it will be like adding fuel to the fire, which will only cause the emperor to be furious. That being the case, the person who spread rumors and implicated Concubine De Niangniang naturally made this idea. However, everyone else has heard of this, how could the emperor not know? But what about the emperor, the emperor didn't react at all."

Zhu listened while savoring the taste, and when Chen Lan said the last sentence, her eyes flashed, and then she looked at Concubine De and said: "The third girl is right, the emperor has no reaction, it is the best reaction King Jin has hardly done anything right in the past few months, the emperor has been disappointed in him, and King Lu is still young." As for the others, some are notorious, some are mediocre, and for a while the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to decide. Even so, this is the most touching thing for the emperor, if it is rumored that it will be the concubine and the concubine who will definitely ascend to the throne, how can the emperor be so tolerant? ”

"Auntie, what do you mean ......"

"Your peace and self-control, your lack of a son, used to seem to be the biggest weakness, but now, it seems that it is also the reason why the emperor believes in you. Someone planned to carry you out to test the emperor's reaction, but they didn't know that the emperor would not suspect you at all. You don't have a son, the Wuling Bozhu family has been defeated, and I'm half sick and half-dead, and I'm so kidnapped that I can't move, what else can you do? You don't have to panic, you can live your life how you want, don't be a snake."

Concubine De was hesitating, and there was a sound of talking outside, so Zhu immediately closed his mouth and said no more. At this time, I only heard the report from the old palace man outside: "Niangniang, it was the virtuous concubine of Changle Palace who heard that Niangniang was sick, so she brought His Royal Highness King Zhou to visit her." ”

"Please, Please, Please"

Although it is said that among the four concubines, the virtuous concubine has always been ranked according to the noble and virtuous concubines, but at the beginning, it was only because of the selfishness of the Empress Dowager Zhu, but now it is clear that the emperor has not snubbed Concubine Wuxian, who has long been old, but has taken more care of this and the stupid and stupid King Zhou, and Concubine De naturally will not put on any shelf. Concubine Zhixian led King Zhou in, and after seeing her, she gave several seasonal snacks and two old ginseng, and she was even more grateful.

And Concubine Wuxian knew that the Zhu family's time to enter the palace was limited, and she didn't think about it for long, so she stood up and said goodbye after sitting for a while, but she glanced at Chen Lan, and then said to Concubine De and the Zhu family: "It's rare to see Ah Lan again, I'll take her to my palace to sit down, how about sending her back in a while?" ”

Concubine De was slightly stunned, but she saw that Zhu nodded, so she agreed. It wasn't until Chen Lan went out after Shili that she looked at Zhu with a confused face, but found that Zhu was half-squinting, not knowing what she was thinking.

PS: Yesterday I wanted to exceed 700 in one fell swoop, but today I went to 800 in the blink of an eye? Hey, let me be greedy, salivating and saying, "It's only eighteen votes away from the pink eight hundred, right......
