Taohong timidly went to pick up the things on the ground. Juechan agreed that she shouldn't stay here longer, holding the dismantled red paper box and waiting to go outside to clean it up. However, after taking only two steps, she was called by Yibin.
He asked, "Are you willing to stay with me and be a master who doesn't look like a master and a slave who doesn't look like a slave for the rest of your life?"
Jue Chan looked back at her. Yi Bin had scarlet eyes, her cheeks were flushed, and her slender and sharp chin was even more visible. She had never seen Yi Gui when she just entered the palace, but she also heard that the former Yi Kun Palace
Yigui was born with a round face and a cheerful temperament. At least the beautiful and lovely Yigui people in the legend are definitely not like this.
Yes, there is no Yiguiren nowadays. She is already the concubine who is the head of the first palace and lives in the palace where Queen Niu Hulu once lived.
"I'm afraid the Empress Dowager is getting old. I heard that it wasn't like this in the past. In recent years, she has been doting on Wu Ya as if she were her own granddaughter." Yi Bin sneered, "The Emperor likes her, so he should look after her."
Jue Chan didn't say anything. Taohong seemed to be running away. She quickly came up to take the things in her hands and walked out. Only Yi Bin and her were left in the room. Yi Bin said again: "Do you know how good-looking you are?
?I look at you coldly in this palace, and there is no one more beautiful than you. Why are you so close to me, concubine Hui? Sister Juechan, are you willing to live here with me for the rest of your life? I think you were a sinner before, so I don’t want to
Do you want to be proud of your family? The Wu Ya family is really a palace maid. She has been married for generations. There has been no high-ranking person in the family for three generations. You are different. Your family is related to the Mingzhu Mansion. Why are you not as good as her?
"
"I am very grateful to the empress for her kindness, but Guo Guiren does not think so of the empress's thoughts. On weekdays, if I come to the front and walk around a few times, Guo Guiren will scold me and say that I have ulterior motives." Jue Chan said calmly.
He smiled and said, "If I dare to walk in front of the Holy Emperor again, Guo Guiren will probably eat me."
Yi concubine was stunned, thinking that Jue Chan must continue to be humble, how could she think that she would say these words? She didn't know how to answer for a moment, and then heard her continue: "You ask me if I am willing, I have also thought about it carefully.
Again, I will remember your rescue and care that day for the rest of my life. It’s just that Empress Hui has no use for me, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you are like Guo Guiren and you can’t stand me, I will go back to Nala again.
It’s okay to go to the noble place, but in this palace, no matter how many places you change, you can’t get out of the four walls.”
Yi Bin frowned, and these words made her feel uncomfortable. When she first entered the palace, she talked about her mother's teachings to everyone she met, remembering how to be a woman in the palace, but those words were really just words.
It's not easy to do it easily. I went through it day by day. I didn't get what I should have, and I didn't dare to ask for what I shouldn't have. My patience was gradually worn away by the concubine Zhao at that time. Finally, when I got through it, I realized that I was in charge.
It's hard to live in an empty palace.
"It's best for your Majesty to calm down and take care of the baby." Jue Chan said after blessing her body, "Your blessing will last forever."
Yi Bi was startled and looked at Ping Ping walking out. Her natural beauty was eye-catching wherever she went. She looked like a painting in every move she made. If such a person was pushed in front of the emperor, even if she could not compare to Wu Yashi,
She must also be lovable. Men all like beautiful women, and the emperor is even more of a man.
"Taohong." Yi concubine called out, and people outside hurried in. She motioned to come closer and said softly, "Send someone to see how the noble Nala is doing. Come and let me know every day. Then go and invite concubine Hui when you have time." Come and sit."
Taohong took note of it and hurriedly went out to do something. A young eunuch came outside and said, "Long live the Lord, I won't be able to come today. I have already said that the distinguished nobleman will live in Qianqing Palace."
Here, several ministers have just left the Palace of Qianqing. Since the Imperial Examination in March, Xuan Ye has learned a lot of scholars, and Xuan Ye has been surrounded by talented people. He talks with them every day about debate and discussing family and country affairs, just like meeting a close friend. The ministers were often surprised by the young emperor's erudition and eagerness to learn. Regardless of the Han ministers, they were all conscientious and did not dare to neglect their work. If one day the emperor asked him about it, Xuan Ye would just laugh it off, which would be enough to upset them for ten days. For half a month, the monarch and his ministers learned from each other, and the old trend was gradually eliminated, and Xuan Ye's own wings and arms were getting stronger and stronger.
Putting down what he was doing, Mr. Li served tea and said with a smile: "Is there anything else important, Your Majesty? If not, the noble man will be waiting in the Nuan Pavilion over there for most of an hour."
Xuan Ye took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and asked, "Has the injury on her arm been treated?"
"I asked the imperial doctor to come and see me again. It's not a big deal." Manager Li responded and told the story about Yikun Palace again. When he mentioned Yigui, what Eunuch Li said was, "Someone told me that Empress Yibin has been here ever since." The noble Nala rescued the noble man from his hands. He fell down and said that he was pregnant. He was afraid that it would not be good, so he begged the Queen Mother to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
Xuan Ye listened, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and seemed to be saying to himself: "I knew she was pregnant, but I still rushed to save people. Yi Bin is very chivalrous."
Manager Li felt nervous, fearing that his words would not be conveyed to the emperor properly. He raised his eyebrows slightly and saw that the smile on Xuan Ye's lips was a little cold, so he made up his mind and stopped saying what should be said. The emperor knew this well, and he would just wait and see how the noble man would respond, then he shouldn't worry about it.
Xuan Ye went directly to Nuan Pavilion. Before entering, he raised his hand to signal everyone to wait outside. He also remembered that he wanted his eldest brother to endorse the letter in Youshi, and told Eunuch Li: "Call me before Yinzhen comes, so as not to delay his affairs. After Yinzhen leaves, please pass on the evening meal and let the noble people take care of it."
After the emperor said this, he strode into the Nuan Pavilion. The noble people inside had already heard the noise outside. They waited in front of the door before curtsying. He was picked up by someone. He lifted up his arm and sleeves to look at the wound. There were red and swollen patches on his delicate white arm. There, because of the hot weather and fear of sweating and infection, she had not bandaged her. The emperor glared at her and said, "You will have to have both tail and tail one day. I will reward you with something."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "The palace of Zhongcui will not be able to accommodate her. Is there any day when I don't have both beards and tails?"
Seeing that she was not in a bad mood, Xuan Ye didn't worry too much. He talked about the things in Yikun Palace and reassured her not to take it to heart. The deep palace compound had always driven people crazy in the past dynasties. He had nothing to do with what happened in the past. Now Xuan Ye Ye said that he had a clear conscience and that Nala had brought all the trouble on himself.
"Concubine Rong lost four children, has she ever had any trouble?" Xuan Ye said coldly, "Children are difficult to raise, and children in the palace are even more difficult to raise. It's hard for my brother to grow to this age. , could it be that the concubine is also looking for trouble with me?"
Lan Qi cared about this and asked softly: "Is Prince Chun bad?"
Xuan Ye sighed: "It's not good. I don't dare to tell Grandma Huang, for fear that she will worry. Even if I have seen life and death, Grandma Huang will still feel distressed. Everyone is her flesh and blood."
It made Lan Qi feel uncomfortable. Xuan Ye valued brotherhood very much. The late emperor left all these brothers and sisters. He cherished each one of them. He felt heavy for a moment, but Xuan Ye persuaded him: "Why did you come here? I already have it in my heart."
It's better, I hope you can coax some royal grandmothers in the future."
Lan Qi nodded quickly: "I know."
"Are you okay?" Xuan Ye suddenly turned to his face, leaned very close, and asked without a clue, "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. I won't know until you tell me, what do you think of touching me?"
Do you really understand everything just by touching it?”
Lan Qi said such a serious sentence with a hint of joking and teasing, she blushed with embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty is not serious, I won't say it anymore." However, she couldn't resist Xuan Ye's attempts to coax her. The two of them sat and talked for a while, and she
In fact, I haven't let it go yet, but I have to stay calm, and all I can think about is the image of La Shi grabbing the scissors and rushing towards me, all white and white.
He also said that he must have made the Empress Dowager unhappy when he begged for mercy, and he would probably tell her how to reprimand her later, so he asked Xuan Ye to come forward and not do anything to Nala, otherwise she would have some shortcomings and everyone would point at him.
He gently pulled Xuan Ye's sleeve and said, "I am thinking about myself this time and it's all selfish. How about your Majesty making it happen once?"
Xuan Ye smiled leisurely: "How big of a deal is it?" After thinking about it, he asked again, "Yi concubine saved you, have you thanked her properly?"
Lan Qi's eyes flickered, and her memory shifted to that chaotic moment. She clearly remembered that after she got out of the way, she was suddenly pulled by Yi Bin before she fell. If Yi Bin didn't pull her up, she would not have fallen.
You may not be stabbed if you go down. I always feel that Yi Bi's grasp is inexplicable, but then I think about it, people are risking their lives to save themselves. What if they are injured or their children are injured? Who would risk their children?
Besides, what is she planning?
Seeing Lan Qi in a daze, a smile flashed across Xuan Ye's lips, and he patiently waited for her answer. After a while, he saw her nodding and said: "I'll thank you later, and I also want to congratulate the concubine Yi on her happiness." Suddenly he remembered that he was busy.
He stood up and left his seat, kowtowed to Xuan Ye and said, congratulations to him for having another son.
Xuan Ye looked at her quietly, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, pulled her up and asked softly: "Aren't you jealous?"
Lan Qi smiled: "How can I not be jealous, but I am sensible."
This refreshing smile melted away all the hostility. Seeing that she had such a broad mind, Xuan Ye didn't care about anything anymore. Big things were reduced to trivial matters. What could happen in the harem? He immediately took her in.
In his arms, he smiled warmly and said: "I haven't left for the past few days. I even got scolded when I went to Cining Palace. Please serve me here and help me pack things for my trip. The Imperial Grandmother will not ask you to go."
Lan Qi nodded, and someone breathed warmly into her ear: "You have taken good care of yourself, how can Yinzhen not have a brother?"
Her waist was numb from the pinch and her body was going limp. Lan Qi struggled and said, "Your Majesty, it's very hot. I'm going to sweat. My arms hurt."
Xuan Ye didn't force her, and he had his own beautiful time when the night was cool. Afterwards, he went back to the study with her to read the book, while the noble man stood beside her and polished. How could he know that the infinite spring scenery was waiting for her at night.
Later, the eldest brother came to endorse the little guy. He was very smart and liked Xuan Ye. Lan Qi couldn't stand in front of her, so she watched from a distance at the opposite door, looking at Yinzhen's back, imagining that her Yinzhen would also grow up to six or seven years old. When Fu was studying, he hoped that Xuan Ye could find a good master and that his son would be filial and loyal and become a good descendant of the royal family.
She couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart, how could a person have no desires and desires? She, Wu Yalanqi, was also full of expectations for the future, but she didn't want to do what the Empress Dowager and her mother said, and she had to fight to achieve perfection. , even if you are ordinary, you will definitely be able to achieve something.
In the next few days, the noble man who was frightened in Yikun Palace had a special room and pampered him. He stayed in Qianqing Palace for several days, but the emperor still went to court every day. During the day, ministers came in and out of the study all the time, and there was no one there. Dare to say that she was a beauty who went to court by mistake. Xuan Ye was in pain and the Empress Dowager was protecting her. No one could shake her.
In comparison, the Guo Luoluo sisters, even if they gave birth to a princess and were pregnant, seemed to be just like other ordinary women in the harem, because there were countless people in the three palaces and six courtyards, and there was only one noble person, Wu Yalanqi.
Fortunately, the day of travel is just around the corner, and everything is ready inside and outside the palace. Although it is a little late to go to Yuquan Mountain to escape the summer heat this time, Xuan Ye has decided to stay there until autumn before returning. The emperor serves the empress dowager, and the empress dowager , there were many concubines accompanying her, ranging from Concubine Tong to the palace maids, but only two sisters from Yi Kun Palace, one was having a baby and the other was in confinement, could not accompany them.
In early June, the Holy Emperor left the palace, and there was a majestic guard of honor that stretched for miles. The empress dowager was accompanied by noble people and Prince Yu. The empress dowager was in great spirits and did not get tired or car sick all the way. When they arrived at Yuquan In Shanxing Palace, when Xuan Ye came to wait on her to rest, the Empress Dowager persuaded her: "Lan Qi has been with you a few days ago. This time, both the noble concubine and the concubine Wen are accompanying you. Don't be too partial. Everyone comes out happily." For once, don't make it unpleasant."
Xuan Ye obeyed the order, and because of the lingering relationship in the past few days, he knew that he would never pester her again in these days. Meanwhile, Lan Qi was taking care of the Empress Dowager, and she also had to look after the fourth elder brother who was accompanying him, and the under-year-old grandma. The baby also went on a long trip this time, but he got along well all the way. The wet nurse praised him as a good boy.
At this time, Xuan Ye came, and she was also with the child. After that, the emperor came to hug her for a while, and told her that she would live in various places in the next days, which was not as good as a private courtyard in the palace, and asked her to be more careful. The two said After whispering for a while, Xuan Ye left.
In the days that followed, Yuquan Mountain was clean, peaceful, and had a pleasant climate. It was not as well-regulated as the Forbidden City. Everyone lived in a relaxed and relaxed manner. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager exempted their concubines from sleeping in the morning and dusk, and allowed everyone to take a break. Concubines. I was either visiting or accompanying the emperor, so I was extremely busy every day.
Unknowingly, it was July. On this day, Prince Yu brought a theater troupe from the capital. The Empress Dowager, who had been quiet for a long time, also wanted to have fun. She led everyone to watch a theater in the garden across the water. Old and young people gathered together, and it was very lively.
Concubine Tong has always loved watching the theater the most, but today she felt uncomfortable and suffered from abdominal pain halfway through the play. She was letting Dong Yun support her back when she accidentally looked up and saw a figure rushing into a room. She Stopping and taking a look, Dongyun beside him said: "Master, what are you looking at?"
"Who lives there?"
"It looks like Fourth Brother's house."
Concubine Tong frowned, feeling uneasy for no reason. She shook off Dongyun's hand and followed her alone. When she entered the door, she saw a woman throwing herself on the cradle. She asked loudly who it was, and the people over there were startled and turned around in surprise.
Looking at Concubine Tong, the concubine was stunned: "Nala's?"
Nala noble man was shaking all over, his eyes were fixed, and he ran outside suddenly, knocking the concubine to the ground. Concubine Tong staggered up, and ran to the cradle, and saw her little brother being stuffed with a silk scarf.
Cover the mouth and nose.
"Fourth Brother!" The imperial concubine was so frightened that she trembled all over and pulled off the silk scarf in a panic. The little man's face was blue from holding it back. She slapped her face and shouted desperately. Suddenly, she heard the emperor's voice yelling behind her, "You are here?"
