Bu Guiren whispered softly on the side: "Let's not worry about it. No one can control the affairs of Chengqian Palace."
Duan Concubine secretly thought that she had heard from Concubine Rong that Concubine Hui had chosen the Jue Chan family in order to be favored by the emperor in the future, so that she could talk to the emperor in front of several elder brothers, but Concubine Rong said that Concubine Jue
The Chan family was not clean behind the scenes, and she was from a sinful background. She did not want to have anything to do with the Jue Chan family. Hui concubine had an eldest brother under her knee, so her temperament was naturally different, and Rong concubine had lost so many children in a row, so the only thing she wanted now was
, as long as the children grow up healthily, the future is so far away, and if you think too much about it, you are afraid of losing your blessing.
"I can't control it. It's a matter of Chengqian Palace."
As soon as the words came out, Duan concubine looked at Lan Qi blankly, and then she opened her mouth to agree with the noble lady. Who would have thought that Lan Qi spoke before her, and added: "The noble lady's face is not good tonight. Everyone knows that making clothes is not good."
The time is bad, so I have to rush tonight? And Guo Gui has just taken advantage of the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Who is she going to make clothes for the imperial concubine to wear? She is asking for trouble and deserves to be beaten."
Duan Bin felt curious and smiled: "But when you say that, I still care."
Lan Qi did not deny it. She stood up and said goodbye, saying, "I feel pity for her, but what can I do about it?"
"That's not the case." Duan Concubine responded, calling Luzhu Xiangyue to help her master, and told Lan Qi to go to bed early. The nobles dispersed for a while, and after they all left, Duan Concubine sent someone to tell Concubine Rong.
, let’s take a look at what’s going on ahead now.
The young eunuch who had been ordered came out of Zhongcui Palace and passed by the gate of Chengqian Palace not far away. He heard the dull sound of a wooden board slapping. The sound was particularly harsh in the quiet night, which frightened him and hurried to Concubine Rong.
In the Chengqian palace, Jue Chan agreed to be pressed on the spring stool, and the powerful eunuch slapped her on her butt with a plank. She was the emperor's woman after all. Such things had hardly happened in the palace in recent years, but the eunuchs
Due to the imperial concubine's lustful power, I didn't dare to be soft, so I slapped her firmly.
Jue Chan, who was sitting on the spring bench, was already sweating from the pain, but she didn't say a word or cry out. She just screamed for mercy and alarmed the palace maid outside. She was stunned and collapsed on the ground with a red and swollen face. She was so frightened that she couldn't stand it.
Can't even cry.
Under the eaves in front of the main hall, Concubine Tong stood there and watched all this, but in her eyes, it seemed that the person who was being beaten was not the little-known Jue Chan family, but the charming and charming Guo who seduced the emperor.
My lord, when I think of that little girl being with the emperor tonight, coquettishly expressing her love, she trembles all over and feels sick. Forget it on weekdays, what day is it today? As the most noble woman among the concubines, why doesn't Xuan Ye give it to me?
Her face must be because those little bitches are too charming, just like the one in front of her. I didn't expect that all of them would look as good-looking as flowers after not leaving the palace all summer.
Qinglian's face was full of sorrow. Seeing that Jue Chan, who had been beaten for more than twenty times, could no longer agree. She was really afraid that her master would kill someone during this great festival. She turned around to persuade her and saw that the imperial concubine's eyes were straight, as if she was about to induce hysteria.
, was so frightened that he pushed her to wake up, and persuaded her in a good voice: "Mother, it's okay, this beating will make her unable to get out of bed for several months, don't cause any harm to her life."
But the imperial concubine just stared at her with anger on her face. She didn't know if she was really mad. Qinglian couldn't control it so much. She rushed over to ask the eunuch to stop. As soon as the eunuch who was holding her down let go, Jue Chan agreed and climbed up from the spring board.
When he came down, he had fainted and was unconscious.
"Get it back quickly, be careful. Nala lives there, so don't be frightened when she is pregnant." Qinglian asked several capable palace maids and eunuchs to come back to see the imperial concubine, but they were still stunned and didn't know she was trapped.
In whatever mood she was in, she didn't dare to delay, so she sent for the imperial physician, and helped her master go back to heal her. Then the imperial physician came, and the imperial concubine made a fuss again. In the end, she managed to force down a bowl of tranquilizing medicine in the middle of the night.
Finally he fell into a drowsy sleep.
The imperial doctor said to Qinglian: "Girl, you should avoid making the imperial concubine angry. It is not a good thing to be angry and vain at a young age."
Qinglian was helpless and did not dare to say anything to the imperial doctor. She only waited for the next morning while her master was still sleeping, and quietly came to Cining Palace to talk to Aunt Sumala in private. Aunt Sumala only sighed: "
As long as no one is killed, please take care of other things. The Empress Dowager is happy these days, so don’t mention such things for the time being."
When Qinglian came back, Concubine Tong was already up. As soon as she arrived, the concubine sneered: "You went to Cining Palace to complain?"
"I don't dare." Qinglian knelt on the ground and lied, "I went to the hospital to get medicine."
"Why do you need to work for such a thing?" The imperial concubine sneered. Although she was only wearing pajamas and no makeup, and her angry eyes were still threatening, she did not embarrass Qinglian and only said, "I know you are good to me, but you can't help me."
You know, let's just wait and see whether I live longer or your serious master lives longer."
Qinglian's heart was trembling, and she heard Concubine Tong seem to be talking to herself: "No matter what I do, I am not lovable..."
In Zhongcui Palace, Lan Qi got up early and had breakfast. She came over to see Chun Xi and Duan Jing, and ate some with them. Duan Concubine was happy that her appetite had improved, and Lan Qi herself felt more comfortable than in the summer.
Many, although her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she gradually becomes restless, she no longer feels lazy as before, but becomes more and more energetic. Both Duanbi and Bugui have given birth to children. Looking at her current situation, they all say that Lan
Qi was lucky, and she also knew that the pregnancy of Bu Gui was much more difficult than her own.
The three of them were laughing with the children, and no one mentioned anything about Chengqian Palace last night. Instead, Concubine Rong brought Rong Xian and her little brother over to sit before lunch. When the children went to play in the yard, she said:
"After all, it was a promise. After you asked someone to tell me last night, you still sent the imperial doctor over to take a look. He came back this morning and said that the beating was not light. He had to lie down for ten days and a half, but his life was saved.
"
Lan Qi listened faintly. She tried hard to forget this matter, but it was still brought up. She didn't know if the cruelty in her heart was like Concubine Tong's disrespect for human life, but what happened last night made her realize that Chan's
She was obviously asking for trouble. Since she still couldn't look away and didn't want to live a good life, what could she do to stop him?
"Hui Bin is quite angry. I don't know whether it's because she feels that Master Chan is stupid or because the imperial concubine is cruel." Rong Bin sighed softly, "She blames herself, why she has to count on..."
Duan Concubine signaled to Rong Concubine, asking her not to forget that Lan Qi was by her side. Concubine Rong also felt that she shouldn't say such words. Seeing Lan Qi's concentrated expression as if she was thinking about something, she asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about, sister?"
Lan Qi came back to her senses and responded: "I am thinking about last night's drama. It would be great if I could invite you to perform in a few more scenes."
Duan Concubine smiled: "It's not easy for you to go to the theater. Let Concubine Rong save some money and arrange a few more plays for you during the Double Ninth Festival under the guise of celebrating the occasion for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."
Concubine Rong said: "There is no need to save money. The palace is very comfortable with expenses now. The matters for the Double Ninth Festival have been arranged long ago. Since you liked last night's show, I will let them make arrangements."
Lan Qi thanked her, thinking that the topic had been moved away, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan still brought up the matter of Guo Guiren's bedside service. It is said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not record it, and Guo Guiren did not express his gratitude last night. Concubine Rong said with a smile: "
I just slept with him a few days ago, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has recorded it. The emperor is already restrained, and he obviously has his intentions in not inviting the imperial concubine or the imperial concubine. It's a pity that the imperial concubine can't figure it out."
Seeing that they couldn't finish talking about these things, Lan Qi excused herself because she felt uncomfortable and couldn't accompany them. Naturally, the two of them didn't force it. They returned to the dormitory and sat on the kang in a daze. When Huanchun came back from Cining Palace, he brought what grandma had done.
The snacks made her feel happier. She bit into a piece of kidney bean roll. After Huanchun went to distribute some to Duan Bin and Bu Guiren before returning, he asked her: "Where is Nala Chang? Have we given anything away?"
"I've given it away, why did the master think of this?" Huan Chun responded, taking away the snack box. She saw that Lan Qi had stuffed the third kidney bean roll into her mouth. This glutinous rice was not easy to digest, so she was afraid
If you like it and eat it without restraint, you will feel uncomfortable and want to vomit.
"It's fine if I gave it to you. I still want to see if I haven't given it to her. Why don't I go and see her in person." After Lan Qi finished eating, she realized that the snack box had been taken away. She pouted and wanted to eat. Huan Chun coaxed her and said
After stewing a thick fish soup for lunch, she gave up, but she also paid attention to her master's words and asked her softly, "You don't want to see if Jue Chan agrees, do you?"
Lan Qi was startled and shook her head quickly, "I went to see what she was doing. You deserve it if you bring it upon yourself."
"Because my master is kind-hearted." Huan Chun smiled, trying to follow the sentimental little pregnant woman, "If you really care about me, can I go and see it for you? Just treat it as a visit to see Na La, who is always here, and ask a few questions by the way.
How easy it is.”
"No need." Lan Qi frowned, worried, and leaned softly on the big pillow, "I... just want to see the emperor now. Only when I see him can I feel at ease."
Huan Chun felt a little distressed. Since that day when she was intercepted by Concubine Wen, her master and the emperor had never seen each other properly. That day, Long Live the Lord came specially, but she was sleeping so deeply. Counting the days, she knew that she missed her in her heart, but she said it in her mouth.
This is the first time I really say it.
After packing up her things and coming out, she saw Ziyu coming in with vases that had been replaced with water and placing them. She motioned for her to come to her side and whispered a few words. Ziyu smiled happily and said softly: "Don't worry, sister." Then she left Zhong quietly.
Cuigong seemed to be wandering around the palace without knowing where he was going, but the last person he saw was Manager Li.
Two or three days later, Xuan Ye and Minister Chen Tingjing were giving lectures in the south study room. After half a day, they had gained a lot and were in a good mood. The ministers dispersed in the afternoon. When they returned to the Nuan Pavilion, Manager Li had already prepared lunch. There was no spread of dishes on the table.
, but several things are what another person likes to eat. Xuan Ye scolded him: "What are you thinking about? These things are what Lan Qi likes to eat."
Eunuch Li said with a smile: "Your Majesty has nothing to do in the afternoon, why don't you invite some noble people to come and sit with you."
"What's wrong with her?" Xuan Ye frowned slightly. Originally, because he turned over Guo Guiren's sign on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, which made Concubine Tong lose her temper and rape the concubines, Xuan Ye didn't plan to see anyone in the harem these days.
Although I also miss Lan Qi, I think she will understand my feelings or difficulties better than anyone else, and Eunuch Li will never fawn over anyone. There must be a reason why he is so diligent.
Sure enough, I heard Eunuch Li talking about what Huan Chun had said. He smiled and advised the emperor: "The noble man is pregnant with a dragon heir. Please feel more sorry for me. What else can others say?"
"How could I care what others say?" Xuan Ye looked at the dishes on the table and told Eunuch Li after a while, "You ask Huan Chun to lead her to the Royal Garden. After she goes, don't let anyone else in. I
I’ll go in a moment.”
Manager Li was overjoyed and hurriedly sent people to make preparations. On the Zhongcui Palace side, Huan Chun and others got the news. It happened that Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren led the princess to Hui Concubine to try their luck. It was such a great opportunity that they couldn't help but be lazy.
When the master started to do it while she was taking a nap, Lan Qi coquettishly said she didn't want to go out. They coaxed her for a long time and even threatened her, saying: "Mommy, it's time to say it. Just lie down in the next few months, otherwise she won't be able to give birth."
Yes, both the child and you have to suffer, so you have to take a good walk every day."
Lan Qi was actually feeling depressed, but she had always been in good health. She was surrounded by them and waddled towards the Imperial Garden. The garden was full of autumn chrysanthemums, and the full and blooming scene made people's hearts swell. Sure enough, it looked like this in autumn.
Only by enjoying the beautiful scenery can we avoid feeling sad about spring and sad about autumn.
A smile gradually appeared on the little noble's face, and he spread a thick mattress on a big stone in the gorgeous autumn sun by the lakeside and sat down. The maids and maids who took care of the imperial garden came to pay their respects diligently and offered fish food to the noble man.
Hey, joking.
Scattering the fish food into the lake bit by bit, watching the colorful, rich and rich fish gathering together to compete with each other, Lan Qi was having fun at first, but suddenly she stopped thinking about something.
Huan Chun had dismissed the rest and waited for the emperor to come. But before the emperor came, his master felt depressed again. He couldn't help but worry and asked with concern: "Is it cold?"
Lan Qi shook her head and said solemnly: "Just watching the fish fighting for food, I feel strange. I feel that there is no difference between people and carp, especially the people in this palace."
Behind him, Xuan Ye walked slowly over alone. Neither Lan Qi nor Huan Chun noticed it. When he got closer, he heard Lan Qi talking to herself, saying: "No desires, no demands, these four simple words, but
It's so easy to do. I've been thinking more and more these days. I'm confused whether I'm thinking about myself or just the emperor. Do I want to satisfy my selfish desires or am I just thinking about him? Are you worried?
worry……"
But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps behind Xuan Ye. The noise was so loud that even Lan Qi and Huan Chun heard it. They turned around and saw the emperor behind them. They couldn't wait to be surprised. They only heard the man kneeling down to report.
With both hands, I offered an 800-mile rush.
Xuan Ye frowned and reached out to take the bag and look at it. Lan Qi and Huan Chun were also standing behind him nervously. The little noble couldn't help but poked his head out to see the emperor's face clearly, and saw that the frown on his face gradually relaxed.
, his heart relaxed, and before he could retract his body, Xuan Ye had already turned around and looked for her. When he saw it, he immediately ran to her, hugged her across her huge belly and said, "Wu Sangui is dead, Lan Qi,
I am so happy that the old fox is finally dead."
The little noble lady was also overjoyed. She knew how important this matter was to Xuan Ye, and she was so happy that she forgot what she just said.
After reading the letter, he raised his head again and asked her seriously: "What were you mumbling those words for just now?"
