In the Fengyi Palace, the queen looked at the dossier presented by the palace priest, her face full of tiredness.

She thought that today's emperor rushed to Fengyi Palace as soon as he was in the morning, and asked her to gather the palace concubines and interrogate the palace people in each palace one by one, but she skipped the Yilan Palace, thinking about the record submitted by the Shang Sleeping Bureau, her face was slightly gloomy, she looked at Shen Mo on the side, and asked, "How is the Yilan Palace?" ”

"The hearts of everyone in the Yilan Palace are fluctuating, because Your Majesty did not send a reward as usual today, Concubine Lan only got up at noon, and after talking to Concubine Qi, she went back to the dormitory to rest." After Shen Mo finished speaking, he waited for the queen's orders.

The reward may be because of the palm print, the queen's eyes are leisurely, and she skimmed the case file in her hand, "If she is smarter, she will not have anything to do with Concubine Qi at this time, Your Majesty has forgotten, this palace can't forget, Agarwood will go." ”

Agarwood, who was sorting out the books, got up and withdrew.

After speaking, I couldn't help but feel a headache, the noble girl Zhu Qing who suddenly disappeared has not been found, Zhang Zhangyin has passed away again, as the master of the harem, she is indeed very annoying.

In particular, the Queen Mother also mentioned that if you don't have the ability, let others share it.

It's just that you don't live in the Weiyang Palace, where you should live, and even the power that belongs to the queen alone has to be shared? She doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to, even if she is unwell, she has to deal with the palace affairs.

Shen Mo looked a little distressed on the side, silently lit incense for the queen to relieve her headache, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is all right today, Princess Jinyang skipped class again today, and Princess Anyang received praise from Master Li......"

Duan Li only remembered Ling Wanying in the evening, and he realized that because of Zhang Qi's incident, he forgot about Lan Concubine today, but how could the emperor think that it was his own fault, so even if he thought that Lan Concubine was very good, he didn't feel the slightest guilt.

It was not early, and Mr. Cui thought that His Majesty would not go to the Yilan Hall again today, so he saw the emperor get up, and as a personal palace attendant, he also followed, and saw the emperor's sedan chair drive through the imperial garden and arrived at the Yilan Palace, Mr. Cui was a little surprised.

His Majesty was not in a good mood today, he thought that His Majesty was sleeping alone as usual, but he didn't expect to come to Concubine Lan.

Duan Li didn't know why he came to Yilan Palace, it was obviously just one night.

But thinking that there was only his reflection in those eyes that were as clear as mountain springs, I couldn't help but want to come and see them.

If Duan Li was any different about Ling Wanying, it might be a little curiosity, curious about what kind of changes people who had been silently following for three years would change in this palace.

If you stay in the palace for a long time, will you find that the most useless thing in the world is love, love will gradually fade with time, but power will keep people excited.

Duan Li still didn't let people pass it on, he walked outside the house, stood in front of the door, and listened to the soft voice inside.

Ling Wanying is reading a book, when she is at home, she is not very sociable, reading books and playing the piano is her daily pastime, but the book she reads is not a poetry book, nor a landscape travelogue, but a recipe.

"The master still loves to read recipes as if he was at home, but there is no small kitchen in this Yilan Palace, and he can't cook himself after reading the recipes." Su Jin said, making flower tea for Ling Wanying.

"According to the palace rules, only the concubine can have his own small kitchen, if the master wants to cook meals by himself, then he has to go to the imperial dining room, but the imperial dining room is full of people, and the master rushes over, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Aunt Li said, as if she understood something, and wondered: "Does the master want to personally cook meals for His Majesty?" ”

Ling Wanying was shy and silent, but Su Jin spoke: "The master said that one of his great wishes in life is to wash his hands and make soup for his beloved." ”

"Aoba ......" Ling Wanying spoke, seemingly a little embarrassed, but her voice was soft, not deterrent, but pitiful.

"Auntie, the main hall is not afraid of being said, so can I go to the imperial dining room to cook meals for Your Majesty?"

Seeing Concubine Lan looking at herself with a pair of clear and innocent eyes full of expectation, Aunt Li suddenly felt that her throat was a little dry and she couldn't open her mouth.

After a pause, he still regretted: "Your Majesty's meals have a rule......"

Hearing this, Ling Wanying lowered her eyes and lowered her voice: "Got it......"

Listening to the conversation inside, Duan Li couldn't help but think of what the shadow guard had reported, since he promised General Zhenguo that he would let Ling Wanying enter the palace, she began to learn cooking skills in order to cook a meal for him.

This made Duan Li can't help but think of the Queen Mother, he was still young, and he didn't know that the Queen Mother was his biological mother, and he didn't know that the first emperor was his biological father, although he lived in the Guogong Mansion with his grandmother, but occasionally went to the princess's mansion with the first emperor, I remember that a certain time, it was my brother's birthday, and Princess Zhenguo personally cooked for her brother to make longevity noodles.

He was still young at the time, and he envied his brother who was pampered by his parents, but when he returned home, he only had the humiliation and torture of his mother-in-law on his birthday, and he had no longevity or birthday gifts.

When the wound hurt at night, he thought that if his uncle and aunt were his parents, he would not let him suffer such a grievance, but he didn't expect that his uncle was indeed his father, and his mother was not the princess of Zhenguo who was still concerned about her parents' birthdays in her busy official duties.

Thinking of the Queen Mother, who had been unwilling to return to the government, Duan Li's face was slightly gloomy, but after a moment, he returned to his previous gentle face and walked in.

Ling Wanying didn't seem to know that Duan Li would come, and after being surprised, she hurriedly got up and saluted, but before she could make a move, she was held down by Duan Li, and Chief Cui motioned for the palace people to go out.

"What are you reading?" Duan Li asked.

"Some recipes." Ling Wanying said softly, raising her eyes to look at Duan Li, Yingying's eyes were a little distressed: "Your Majesty has something to worry about today?" ”

Duan Li didn't know what was wrong, and told her about the court, today he promoted some children of the poor family, which caused the dissatisfaction of the family nobles, and the queen mother also felt that he was acting recklessly, but he knew that it would attract the dissatisfaction of the queen mother and the family nobles, so he still did it.

This consequence is that Zhang Qi, who was doing things for him, died, but the latter sentence passed through Duan Li's mouth, and then pressed down and did not say it.

Duan Li was a little dazed, he was already twenty-seven, not a seven-year-old child, why did the queen mother still control him, is it really like the rumors, the queen mother wants to be the queen mother of real power or support Anyang.

"The concubine doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but the concubine knows that His Majesty must have his own reasons for doing this, and His Majesty can boldly do what he wants to do, which is very powerful." Ling Wanying looked admiring, as if the person in front of her was a big hero.

"Do you really think so?" Duan Li's expression was unpredictable, and he looked at Ling Wanying's eyes with complicated eyes.

Seeing Ling Wanying's firm nod, Duan Li smiled, this is feedback that he can't get from Concubine Rou, he stroked Ling Wanying's hand, and said gently: "Give birth to a prince and princess for me, and then go to school with the prince." ”

Ling Wanying lowered her head shyly, and was touched by Duan Li's hand again, and had to look into his eyes, "Concubine listen to Your Majesty." ”

Duan Li smiled, the lotus fragrance on the tip of his nose was strong, and he couldn't help but say: "You shouldn't be named Lan Concubine, it should be Xiang Concubine...... right."

"Eternal seclusion is this flower, do not seek to smell only smoke...... Lan Concubine, can you know my intentions......"

Ling Wanying, who relied on him wholeheartedly, satisfied Duan Li's desire for control.

After the Queen Mother finished the Buddha, she learned that the emperor went to the Yilan Palace, and for a while she didn't think of who lived in the Yilan Palace, and she reacted under the reminder of the people around her, that was the daughter of the Ling family who fell in love with the emperor at first sight in the autumn hunt, and the emperor was still the prince at that time, but in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's position as the crown prince was crumbling, and everyone knew that the first emperor had no children under his knees, so that the son of the concubine reduced the leakage.

However, although she has no children, she has a daughter, although the eldest princess of Anyang is young, she has shown her intelligence, as the only son of the queen mother and the first emperor, the eldest princess of Anyang also has supporters, but they all chose to succeed Duan Li.

At that time, General Zhenguo stopped Duan Li of the next dynasty with a handful of snot and tears, and when he begged him for a portrait, he even alarmed the Queen Mother.

She had experienced love, so she was in awe of all sincere feelings, and it was not that she didn't want to see the woman who was infatuated with the emperor, but then the emperor was seriously ill and abdicated early, she accompanied the emperor to the palace to recuperate, and then Concubine Rou came to the emperor's side, making a mess of the East Palace.

If it weren't for the death of the first emperor that made her seriously ill, she would definitely have to deal with Concubine Rou, who was making waves, and because of Concubine Rou, she was very dissatisfied with the queen who had been inactive.

Later, her estrangement from the emperor became deeper and deeper, and she could only tolerate Concubine Rou becoming more and more favored in the palace.

"Except for Concubine Rou, Your Majesty has never stayed in the palace of concubines for two days in a row, and Concubine Lan must be very popular with her when she comes to her." The palace maid said, seeing that the queen mother didn't speak, only looked at her with a smile, and became more and more bold, "But the slave never believes in the so-called love at first sight, it's just that she sees the situation, Concubine Qi recommends Concubine Lan for Your Majesty, if Concubine Lan has bad intentions, Concubine Qi is really wrong, and she must be very sad." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked at the new palace maid, her beautiful eyes were full of interest, and she saw the palace maid continue: "I heard that Concubine Lan met His Majesty by the lotus pond at the time of the final election, and the position of the same palace was also proposed by Concubine Rou, so the friendship between the two must be not shallow. ”

The palace attendants in the hall looked at the big palace maid who was talking eloquently, their eyes were pitiful, pitiful, pitiful, I don't know who sent the fool.

"Presumptuous! The concubines of the Son of Heaven will not allow you to talk about it with a small palace person. Mama Xie stopped the words of the palace maid, and the palace maid hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, her originally smart eyes were full of fear, but the queen mother was not angry, but smiled and said: "If you don't make a sound today, the mourning family doesn't know when there is such a smart and clever palace man around you, what is the crime." ”

Qi Yue looked at the palace people in front of her, and when she raised her head and showed hope, she said ruthlessly: "Drag it down, the rod will be punished for forty, and if you are still alive, you will go to the Huanyi room." ”

The palace maid didn't have time to beg for mercy, so she was gagged and dragged down, and Mama Xie said: "It's the slave maid who has neglected to let the person with a ghost in her heart enter the inner hall." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and stopped Mama Xie's plea, now the palace is not as good as the first emperor and the harem, there are too many masters, and the palace people are also fluctuating.

She sent the other palace people out, leaving only Mama Xie, "How is Zhang Qi's matter investigated?" ”

"There was no trace of struggle found in his house, as if he really swallowed the needle by himself, but Zhang Qi's old thing has always cherished his life, greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he swallow a needle and commit suicide."

"Li'er may think the same way, that's why I misunderstood me, Xi Zhi, how can there be such a coincidence, yesterday His Majesty just promoted a few children of the poor family with innocent backgrounds, today first the court said that most of the people were sick and took leave to resist His Majesty's will, and then Zhang Qi, who was going to make the will, died for no reason......" The Queen Mother said, her face gradually became stern, "Someone must have provoked the feelings of our mother and son, Xi Zhi, carefully poor, let Long Yinwei investigate carefully, and he will find out the real murderer behind it." ”

Mama Xie whispered, and didn't say anything about what happened in the harem, after all, the affairs of the harem are really nothing compared to the previous dynasty.

But neither of them could have imagined that for several months in a row, His Majesty lingered in the Yilan Hall night and night, and the harem concubines, if they came to a small day, they would also have to be recorded, but even if Ling Wanying was unwell and could not serve Duan Li, Duan Li also went to the Yilan Hall every day, and did not pity the newcomers who had not yet been summoned at this time.

Yueyue please, Concubine Rou faced everyone's ridicule, her face remained unchanged, until she heard the palace people who were waiting, Ling Wanying's body was delicate, and every month was unbearable, His Majesty saw Lan Concubine's painful look, summoned the female doctor, and heard the female doctor say that the woman was losing both qi and blood at this time, and needed hot things to warm her body, so she asked the palace people to bring the soup woman and put it on the soles of her feet and sides, for fear that the abdomen would be too delicate, and it would be inappropriate to use the soup woman, after His Majesty heard about it, he baked his hands on the stove to warm them before placing them in Lan Concubine's abdomen.

Hearing the news, Concubine Rou broke the teacup by mistake, knowing that when His Majesty composed music for the new favorite Lan Concubine, she did not panic, and when she learned that His Majesty made an exception to set up a small kitchen for Lan Concubine, she was not flustered, and when she heard that Her Majesty was staying in Yilan Hall every day, she only felt lucky, after all, in the past few months, because of the previous dynasty, the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother has become more and more tense, if His Majesty still comes to Ganquan Palace as usual at this time, she is really afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry and give her poisonous wine Bai Aya.

But now, she is really panicked, although Your Majesty is affectionate and gentle, when has she taken care of which woman like this,

She is like duckweed, she has a good family background like other palace concubines, her father and brother are powerful, she can only rely on His Majesty, and His Majesty promised that he would make Jinyang ......

If the grace is no longer there, then the past promises will be scattered with the wind, Concubine Rou stroked her heart, and the palace people around her immediately stepped forward and called people to ask for a doctor.

Duan Li really enjoyed his time in the Yilan Palace, in the Yilan Palace, no matter what he said or did, Ling Wanying would not refute him, she would only listen quietly, look at him with admiration, and say, "Your Majesty is really powerful. ”

"Your Majesty is really brave."

"How can Your Majesty be so good......

Growing up, no one ever said he was good. Amazing, when he was young, the eyes of his family were focused on his brother, and his mother-in-law felt that his blood was dirty.

Later, when he became the crown prince, he could always see the prince or the palace people through his nostalgia, but he was only the emperor's brother for three days.

Even the Queen Mother and the former emperor always looked at him with regret, feeling that he was not decisive enough and too affectionate.

Although the queen is his wife, the most important thing in her heart is the family and the prince.

Although Concubine Rou relied on him, with his support, she was also afraid of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Shu admired him, but this love was nothing compared to power......

They are not as good as Wanying, only Wanying admires him wholeheartedly, and is not even afraid of the queen's admonition and the majesty of the queen mother.
