124 There are still people who look like noble people
"Leave it to my concubine?" Lan Qi frowned slightly, whether in fear or resistance. Xuan Ye saw this and asked slightly worriedly, "You don't want to?"
"I am willing, I am willing to do anything for the emperor, but I want to..." Lan Qi pursed her lips and said sincerely, "That day, I had a dispute with Prince Gong, Fujin. If I were in the position of concubine, Fujin would definitely
She would not fall out in front of him, or even attack Fujin. I am not complaining about my low status. The ancestral rules are such that neither the emperor nor my concubine can overstep them, and I am satisfied. However, my birth background is not as good as that of several empresses, and I am also older than her.
Concubine Rong, this is an unchangeable fact. I can make you and the Empress Dowager happy and like you. I have a good temper and a sweet mouth. I don’t know whether I can really do things well. You want to hand over this family to me.
I'm afraid I can't give it to you now, but I'll have to think about it again in three to five years to see if it can be done. I'll keep your wish in mind and will learn how to manage the affairs of the palace, but can the emperor agree to Lan Qi's request?
, in this case, let’s just keep it in our hearts and never say it out loud. If you say it too much, it won’t be a big deal anymore.”
Why didn't Xuan Ye remember a boudoir joke that day, which was spread all over the city by someone who wanted to do it, causing his beloved to suffer the pain of whipping? Now every time he touches her delicate skin, he will feel a little guilty in his heart, and will also be surprised by the past.
I am so reckless and impulsive, and the changes in each other's minds in the seemingly short few years are surprising and emotional.
"I know that this is just my current wish." Xuan Ye gently pecked her lips, "I will give you the glory and dignity you deserve, so that those princes Fujin will never dare to look down on you again, Lan Qi,
You are not only sweet-tongued to make me happy, but who in this palace is not sweet-tongued? You are smarter than before, and I am calmer than before. I guard the country. From the time when I was the emperor to now, you have to guard the harem.
I can also wait for you to grow up. Your mind is your own, but I can give you the status."
"Yes." Lan Qi nodded with a smile, her heart was warm, and the human aura on her body was getting heavier and heavier. Sure enough, he leaned down, and the kiss turned from a gentle kiss to a sweet and gentle lingering. When he let her take a breath,
I could only hear the emperor smiling ambiguously, "It's really sweet. It's sweet in my heart."
Lan Qi stretched out her hand to push him, "The emperor is fooling around, it's clear as day."
Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "It's almost dark outside. What's the point of blue sky and white sun?"
"Well, it's time to pass on the dinner. I have to go back and serve the Emperor..." But before she could finish her words, she was kissed and sealed. The kiss made her delicate body soft, like satin, and she could be kneaded. She heard it in her ears.
Xuan Ye said: "What should we have for dinner? There are sweeter things to eat here." She said that her heart was pounding and her body was burning.
Xuan Ye laughed happily.
Eunuch Li had already sent everyone away outside, and he was not in a hurry for dinner at any time. It was rare that the emperor finally showed his face. After being bored for the past few days, even the birds flying over the Qianqing Palace did not dare to sing. The virtuous and noble man is indeed an exquisite and clear person.
The emperor was happy when he came to see her. She was polite and kind. Thinking back to when I met her in the Imperial Hospital, I was a little confused. I really don't know what my situation is like now.
Manager Li was secretly happy when he saw the prince wandering over there, followed by the wet nurse. He was excited. In the afternoon, the emperor asked him to send a message that he and the prince would have dinner together at night. He hurriedly went up to greet him and said: "His Royal Highness the prince."
,Are you going to pay your respects to Emperor Ama?"
The prince is four and a half years old. He should be lively and carefree at this age, but he is bored even when he is young. He also encountered the sadness of the death of Queen Niu Hulu in the past year. He already has an inappropriately deep look on his face despite his age.
Seeing Eunuch Li often trembled in his heart. Now he heard his milky voice and said with an unmatched serious expression: "Huang Ama said that he would have dinner with me at night. Eunuch Li will go and inform you soon."
"
Eunuch Li rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is busy. The two emperors and uncles have just arrived. They have already gone to Cining Palace and asked His Highness the Crown Prince to come over and have dinner with his great-grandmother. Look at this servant.
Waiting for you to come out."
The prince was young after all, so he could believe a few words, and Emperor Fuquan liked him very much. When Eunuch Li said this, he turned around and told the wet nurse: "Bring me my cloak and go to Cining Palace."
Manager Li breathed a sigh of relief, and the wet nurses carried the prince back to change the clothes for going out. The young prince sat on the kang and waited. He ran over impatiently and saw the wet nurse and his nanny taking clothes from the cabinet, muttering: "What are you going to do?"
The Queen Mother is here, mama, you didn't see it, a noble lady is here, the Emperor has to accompany the beauty, so how can he take care of our prince."
The little guy raised his head and heard it, frowning in understanding. The grandma turned around and was startled. She quickly took the little master back and put on clothes with the wet nurse. Then the prince asked: "What are you talking about?"
The noble man is here?"
The two women looked embarrassed and hurriedly made some nonsense, then wrapped the prince tightly and sent him to Cining Palace. Eunuch Li had already sent his trusted apprentice to inform Aunt Sumala first, and waited for the Queen Mother to see him again.
When they arrived at the crown prince, they were not surprised. Fuquan and Chang Ning had seen noble people before, so they naturally guessed the strangeness. They just accompanied their grandmother to tease the emperor's nephew, and after having dinner happily, they sent the prince to work together.
Near the Qing Palace, people are also preparing to leave the palace and return home.
On the way out of the palace, Chang Ning walked in a hurry. Fuquan ran a few steps before catching up. When asked why he was walking in a hurry, Chang Ning held it in for a long time before saying: "I am always worried about the one in the family who is looking for life and death when I go out. Second brother, you are too lazy."
Let me accompany the royal grandmother."
Fu Quan also had women in his family, so he was considerate of his younger brother and asked with a smile: "Which one is seeking death and living? Xi Fu Jin? It's very pitiful to have no children, please bear with me."
"It's the direct descendant of Fujin." Chang Ning frowned, "Everyone in the house said that she killed two daughters with poisonous hands. There seems to be some suspicions in the clan house. She hanged herself and wiped her neck in the past two days. If she didn't say that, she would be tied up and questioned.
To make it clear, let her die. She made trouble and tormented several Fujins. I am really hateful. If I don't care about her one day, I will report to the emperor to divorce her."
Fuquan felt irritated when he heard this, and said angrily: "These women don't want to live a peaceful life. They make trouble all day long. You should have someone check it out. If she is really the murderer, the two nieces and four or five wet nurses will be killed."
Her life is enough for her. Such a vicious person should be frightened hard. Whichever one you feel sorry for, just support the principal wife."
"If it's really that simple, I won't have to worry about it, brother." Chang Ning sighed, almost involuntarily, and murmured a few words to Fuquan, and the two of them gradually left the imperial city.
Naturally, the noble man stayed in Qianqing Palace that night, and went straight back to Cining Palace the next day to prepare for the New Year's Eve. He was busy with Aunt Sumala, and when the concubines came to pay their respects, they saw her, but they didn't see her either.
What's the difference? She still looks gentle and humble, without any trace of the attitude of a beloved concubine. And because both palaces are in a better mood, no one dares to cause trouble on New Year's Day. They are polite to each other and are jealous and sour.
Let's just wait and figure it out later.
The Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye. On New Year's Day, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager together go to the Meridian Gate Tower to announce the great victory in the Southwest to the civil and military officials and the people of Li. All the concubines in the harem are waiting behind the Qianqing Gate in fine makeup, waiting for the Empress Dowager and the people. When the emperor returned, they all congratulated him and wished him happy new year.
Although the weather was fine that day, I couldn't bear the strong wind. I got up early in the morning to send the Queen Mother and the Emperor off to the front. I waited for most of an hour. Even though the sun was getting thicker, it couldn't warm up my body that was chilled by the wind. , Concubine Tong stood very impatiently, Qinglian secretly stuffed a hand stove for her and hid it in her armhole, and just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a surprise from the back, turned to look, and saw a person falling down from the back, and several palace maids were pulling her. He stood up and looked at the man who looked familiar.
"Go back if you can't stand still. It's not like you're exposed to the poisonous sun. Everyone is so delicate." Concubine Tong said coldly, her eyes wandering to Concubine Wen. She was also looking away from the promise, and she didn't know the corner of her mouth. Why did she smile a little? It made Concubine Tong feel irritable. She remembered that Queen Niu Hulu once hated her and said that she was too young to be cruel and ruthless. Now that she is a few years older than Niu Hulu, she really looks at her evil behavior. Yangcheng Mansion was scheming and realized why he was hated. Thinking of all the recent events and Xuan Ye's heartless and helpless words, his heart gradually became colder along with his body. He turned his head and said to Qinglian, "In a moment, let's follow Concubine Wen. Way to go."
Qinglian didn't understand and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just lowered her head and waited quietly for the return of the holy driver. After waiting for more than half an hour, the sudden sound of cannons shocked her heart. Knowing that it was the Meridian Gate salute, she didn't panic and held her head high. Raise your waist and feel the majesty of the heaven.
After half an hour, Concubine Tong's feet were already sore. When there was finally movement, she saw two people driving into the Qianqing Gate. Xuan Ye came down first and personally helped his grandmother to settle down, and then changed to the soft sedan for walking in the palace. The Empress Dowager saw The concubines were waiting here. They smiled and said "Thank you for your hard work." When they saw Lan Qi in the crowd, they asked her to go with them without any scruples. Although everyone was envious, but fortunately she was not going with the emperor, so they were not jealous. And the emperor He had sealed his seal and was busy with state affairs, and would not lead anyone back. After both palaces had left, everyone dispersed and walked in twos and threes. Naturally, Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen were the first to leave.
Concubine Wen was going to Ningshou Palace. She was walking leisurely when a group of people suddenly followed her. Dongyun quickly informed that it was Concubine Tong who was coming, so she and her master took shelter by the roadside while Concubine Tong rushed over. After that, he said to her: "Let's go together, I also want to go to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother."
Concubine Wen showed the courtesy, but the look of arrogance on her face did not diminish. She smiled and agreed to go with Concubine Tong. These two incompatible women actually walked together one day. The palace maid and eunuch followed closely behind. Looking at the two people standing side by side in front, Dongyun and Qinglian looked at each other and both just smiled helplessly.
Concubine Tong has already spoken: "The Queen Mother is the successor of the late Emperor. It is quite strange that the Emperor did not let the Queen Mother accompany us in such a big occasion today."
"The Queen Mother herself doesn't care. It's better not to go. She can't stand the big scene. She's afraid that her calves will tremble when she climbs the tower, and she's afraid of embarrassing the emperor." Concubine Wen said slowly, "No need to worry about it, lest rumors spread. The nice words will cause discord between the Queen Mother and the Emperor and her son."
"You know clearly."
"I am always at my side, of course I know that." Concubine Wen turned to look at Concubine Tong, "Why did your empress think of going to pay her respects?"
Concubine Tong sighed softly: "You can still catch the eyes of a Queen Mother like you, so what if I don't show my face to an innocent person like you? No matter you or the concubines, what are you thinking about?
As if others don’t know?”
Concubine Tong was the only one who could say such words on the first day of the first lunar month. Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was already very old. In the future, the most noble person in the harem would be the Empress Dowager. And the Empress Dowager was still very young. Looking at her good health, the two
There is no need to worry about it in thirty years. Nowadays, a noble man has risen to prominence because he is favored by Cining Palace. If no one can get in, he will naturally plot against Ningshou Palace. Even if the emperor's affection for the Queen Mother is not enough, he will always have the honor of his legitimate mother.
Some respects.
Concubine Wen, as her name suggests, is as soft as a pile of cotton. She can't exert any force when punching her. Concubine Tong's words can't arouse her at all. She can only smile disdainfully: "It's not as good as God. A virtuous person will have what she has today."
But I have never calculated, so I am blessed. How noble are you, the imperial concubine? The emperor cares more about foreign renters than the queen mother. Why do you bother to argue with people like me? I serve the queen mother, and the queen mother likes me.
, it’s just the shadow of Queen Daxing.”
Then he stopped and smiled and said: "What's wrong with the daughter of the Suo'etu family? I was supposed to send her to you in the next two years. Unfortunately, I'm afraid she won't be lucky because of her poor health. Otherwise, it would be more lively. But the imperial concubine can only worry about this."
A few years ago, Master Gabra's youngest daughter was also seven or eight years old. He was the emperor's serious father-in-law. Six or seven years later, the second young lady of the Hesheli family entered the palace again. The noble concubine may have to work hard again. We
The Niu Hulu family has finally given birth to a queen, isn’t Master Tong Guowei anxious too?”
Concubine Tong's eyebrows were furrowed. How she treated Empress Niu Hulu with disrespectful words at the beginning, now her sister also responded to her word by word. This weak and gentle little woman in front of others is full of evil ideas and eyeballs.
She can say something that will make people choke in a single twist. She once dared to be unruly and cunning even when she was subordinate to others, but now that she is in a high position, she can't let go.
"That's right." Concubine Wen was excited again. She didn't care what Concubine Tong had to say when she came to be with her. She just said whatever came to her mind, "Do you recognize the promise that fell down just now?"
"What's wrong?" Concubine Tong responded angrily. Thinking back to the scene just now, she remembered that the promise looked familiar, and what impressed her most was that Concubine Wen was smiling.
Concubine Wen's eyes were filled with thoughts, and she smiled and said, "Does your concubine look familiar to you?"
"A bit." Concubine Tong did not deny it.
Concubine Wen nodded repeatedly, "Sure enough, my concubine's opinion is not bad. Look at that promise, does it look a bit like a noble person?"
