Chapter 66
Outside the Zhu Gate of Yongyi Palace, there was a sound of consul eunuchs shouting.
"The saint is here, Niangniang hurry up!"
The two of them in the inner hall were playing chess, and when they heard the sound, they threw away the chess pieces in their hands and hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Holy Master, the concubine greets the Holy Lord."
I saw people outside the hall striding in, and when Concubine Lan stood upright, she personally raised her hand to help her up.
"Don't be polite, love the concubine is exempt." All the palace maids knelt in front of them and did not get up until the lady was exempted.
The harem of the saint's sole favorite lady is known, and no one dares to look at it and say more, and one of the palace maids will stared at the hands of the saint and Concubine Lan.
Yingyue frowned when she saw this, and secretly glanced at each other with her mother.
He immediately turned around and ordered in a low voice: "You all stand down, if you want to serve the mother, you will give orders." ”
"Yes." The palace people retreated according to the order, and the palace maid from Jinghe Palace withdrew her gaze, and Yingyue quickly closed the palace door.
In the huge palace room, there are curling cigarettes in the red sandalwood tripod, and only the two people who sit and play in front of the chess desk remain.
Qi Lin lowered his face sideways, picked up a piece on the chessboard, pinched the chess pieces in the palm of his hand and grinded them, and then put down the chess pieces gloomily.
If you don't observe it intentionally, how can you see the melancholy in this move?
Xiao Lanxin saw this move in her eyes, and a trace of doubt and curiosity flashed in her clear and beautiful eyes.
Then he put down the chess pieces, deliberately blamed himself and asked: "Why didn't the saint play?" Could it be that the concubine's chess skills are not good......"
"It's just that I can't find someone to play against for a long time, and I have no mood for a while when I play chess with Concubine Lan."
Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but think of someone, this thought lingered in her heart, but she couldn't be sure for a while.
"How can the Holy One not find someone to play with? The concubines are just passing the time and fiddling with them at will. ”
"Concubine Lan doesn't know anything, and it's hard to find someone to play against."
Qi Lin's heart was depressed, and sadness flashed inexplicably in his heart, remembering that only when he came to this Yongyi Palace could he confide a few words of confidant, so he relaxed his vigilance and responded slowly.
"I met someone before, and I admired her chess skills, but now I don't have that opportunity."
In front of him, the young man wrapped in the yellow dragon robe became more and more calm and handsome, and he no longer acted willfully as in the past.
He is no longer the Fifth Highness who used to be soft-spoken, but has become the Supreme Son of the Great Qi, and he is also the person who the women of the Qi Palace compete to invite favor.
And the heart of the person who is in the heart of this harem woman is occupied by another woman, although that person is married to a courtier, and has a lifelong shelter and cherished person.
"Your Highness is worried about the affairs of the Queen Mother?"
Xiao Lanxin became more and more sure of the thoughts in her heart, and she actually felt a little envious, how could she not be forced by hatred, living alone in this deep palace just to slash the enemy.
"The queen mother controls the government, and I become a nominal monarch, but how can the queen mother care about my feelings?"
As a harem woman, the queen mother braved the world's condemnation to interfere in court politics.
He didn't put the Son of Heaven in his eyes, and for his own selfish desires, he made friends with many enemies and foreign clans, and recently announced that he would marry Helan, which caused the courtiers to boil.
"Don't worry, the queen mother's actions will be condemned by the world, and one day she will definitely reap the consequences!"
Hearing this, Qi Lin looked at Concubine Lan, and his eyes flashed a trace of anger.
Concubine Lan seemed to have empathy in her hateful words.
"You and I take what we need, if it weren't for Concubine Lan for me to bear the entanglement of Concubine Wan, I am afraid that I will hate being the king of this country even more!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lanxin realized that Fang Cai's tone was too heavy.
The time is not yet ripe for the hatred in your heart.
So he slowed down his timbre and said with respect: "The saint has said that the concubines can gain a foothold in the palace, it is the grace of the saint's protection, if it is not for the grace of the saint to the concubines, I am afraid that the queen mother and concubines will not let the concubines settle in the harem." ”
"It's just that two days will be the day of the Holy Draft, and the Queen Mother will definitely choose beauties for the Holy to share favors with the concubines."
"I heard that the Queen Mother is trying her best to make friends with Helan, and Helan's envoys will also come, what are the plans of the Holy One?"
Speaking of this, Qi Lin felt a strong sense of disgust, his words were stained with a freezing chill, and he also made a decision in his heart.
"No matter how the queen mother wants to use me, she will not compromise easily."
I didn't want to marry another woman, but as a monarch, I had no choice but to accept a concubine.
And the queen mother has to inch in, and she has to insert other women to her side, even if she hates it to the extreme, she is powerless to resist, and this feeling of powerlessness deepens the longing for that person in her heart.
"I still have something to ask for, I wonder if Concubine Lan can agree?"
Asked from this, Xiao Lanxin replied without hesitation: "It's okay to say it." ”
"Sister Wei...... It's also Mrs. Rong, we are old acquaintances, and she is the person who used to play against me. ”
Qi Lin's eyes wandered, and he secretly clenched his fists.
No matter what method you use, I hope to be content to see her.
"I want to ask Concubine Lan for help, see her ......"
This is said in a vague manner, and the reason for it is not explained.
If the Yu family has something to do with the Queen Mother, now this opportunity has come!
With Su's hatred of Mrs. Rong, there must be some action at the draft meeting, if she participates in it, and then does a little tricking, with General Yu's obsession with her, it will definitely cause Yu's hatred.
Xiao Lan's heart was already clear, and she responded quietly: "The concubine understands, and the concubine will definitely share the worries of the saint." ”
On the side of the pavilion of the water pavilion, the warbler bird cries lightly in spring.
There were three or two figures standing in the small pavilion, a few steps away from the pavilion, and the woman's piercing sneer instantly broke the quiet scene.
"Isn't this the Great Lady? How can you paint Danqing here alone? ”
Meng Shi twisted his waist and walked to the pavilion, pursed his red lips and sneered, his hook-like eyes showing a little contempt.
The people were shocked and watched, but they were all terrified.
Aunt Meng is now friendly with Aunt Gu, and Aunt Gu is favored by adults, so naturally she doesn't look at the eldest lady in her eyes!
The two people behind him walked one after the other, and Du Shi was gentle and polite: "The concubine has seen Mrs. ”
However, after making a salute, Meng Shi glanced at it coldly, twisted his waist and stepped forward, squeezing her to the side.
"Since Sister Du is so afraid of the eldest lady, it is better to stand in the back, Sister Gu and I want to have a good talk with the eldest lady."
Du Shi smiled and stepped back automatically, not arguing with her.
It wasn't until Aunt Gu showed her tricks and wanted to ridicule Aunt Meng that she was asked by a more mocking and disdainful voice.
"Who said Madame would like to talk to you? Don't you see Madame busy? ”
Yuyan also ignored her identity, and stared at the two of them in anger, how could Mrs. Ren say that she restrained her heart, but she couldn't swallow this breath.
Today, Mrs. came to the garden to paint, also to draw jewelry drawings for the Treasure Pavilion, and I don't want a few people and a few aunts to come to make trouble again.
If you don't come to Lanyue Pavilion, it's better to fight for victory and lose and vent your evil anger!
"Yuyan is getting more and more unruly! I have always been taught in the Gu Mansion! ”
Gu Mingyun's eyes were full of anger, but between gritting his teeth, he suppressed his anger in time.
Xiwen was holding her hand and meeting her eyes, then turned to face Meng, and sighed helplessly, but became a person who was oppressed.
"Now that the status of the eldest lady is not as good as before, a little maid dares to press on our heads, my sister is ruthless, why don't you help Sister Meng admonish her?"
