Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Bao Yun came in to invite Hui Bin to dinner. The master and servant dispersed without leaving a trace. Bao Yun looked strange and did not make any move. Hui Bin was always very polite to her, even if she had any doubts in her heart, she would not
The Empress Dowager sent her here to deter her master in person. If she had any doubts, she could just report them to him. There was no need for her to check anything herself.
However, not only did Hui Concubine become suspicious when she vaguely bumped into Prince Gong in front of the Yonghe Palace, it was Lan Qi herself who rushed out of the Forbidden City and headed out of the capital on a bicycle. When the wheels were rolling in her ears, she suddenly calmed down.
, seemed to have woken up, and hurriedly shouted to stop the car. Prince Gong thought that there was something important, so he reined in his horse and turned around, asking with concern: "What's the matter, Madam?"
Now Lan Qi was even more embarrassed. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she said: "The next day, the imperial doctor asked me for my pulse. Huan Chunruo said that I was sick and wanted to send someone to take a look. How could I avoid it? Can the prince do it again?
Send someone back, or report it to the Empress Dowager?"
Chang Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, Madam. When the Emperor was leaving, he asked me to leave a trustworthy person in the palace and report to Cining Palace early tomorrow morning. The Emperor said that this matter is very inappropriate and the Queen Mother may not be sure.
I will be angry, but the most important thing is to bring you out, and we will discuss the rest later. I dare not falsely convey the imperial edict, so please follow me with peace of mind. The emperor is not far from the capital. Let’s go faster and we can reach the emperor before midnight.
The place where the emperor stays."
"So close? Then we can go back to Beijing tomorrow, so why does it take three days?" Lan Qi was full of doubts, but when she asked, she felt that it would cause trouble to Prince Gong. He took the trouble to go back and forth, and had to listen to her mother-in-law.
He immediately changed his mind and said, "Then let's leave quickly and don't ask the emperor to wait."
Chang Ning responded: "Then please sit still, Madam."
After that, the carriage and horse moved faster, and Lan Qi's bones were shaken by the bumps. Fortunately, the driver was very skilled, so although the bumps were inevitable, it wasn't dangerous enough to throw her out. She would only be tired and her ears would ring.
, when it was getting darker and darker outside, the carriage suddenly stopped. Lan Qi heard what sounded like a security inspection in front of her. Not long after, Prince Gong came to ask her: "Your Majesty, please get out of the car."
When he went out, the sky was dim, and it was now a dark night where he could not see his fingers without lights. Prince Gong lit a lantern, handed it to her sheepishly and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work, hold it yourself. I'm sorry, you are now a palace maid."
The emperor will tell you tomorrow personally. I will take you to the tent. If anyone asks you on the way, you are the maid."
Lan Qi's heart was beating fast and she felt excited for no reason. She held a lantern and followed Prince Gong step by step with her head bowed. She stopped in front of the big tent. Sure enough, the place was heavily guarded. Even Prince Gong couldn't easily enter the imperial tent.
Entering the brightly lit tent, Prince Gong immediately turned around to leave. He only leaned forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll take my leave."
"Wang..." Lan Qi wanted to stop her and ask more questions, but Chang Ning had already left. The reason why she still had questions was because half of the people in the tent were missing. Didn't it mean that Xuan Ye wanted to see her? Where was the person?
She blew out the lantern and put it on the ground. She took off her cloak. She was wearing Huanchun's clothes underneath. There was a large standing mirror in the tent. She stood in front of her and looked at herself. She licked her bun that had been bumped loosely and put on her hairpin.
She put it on again, but she felt tired when she raised her hands to care for it. The continuous bumps of the carriage and horses made her limbs and bones seem to float out of her body, and she was floating and limp.
As he was stretching his muscles with his hands on his waist, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and people. He didn't know what the people outside said, but he saw the curtain in front of the tent was opened, and Xuan Ye, dressed in golden armor, came into view. Lan
Qi's heart suddenly shook and she stood there at a loss.
No one followed the emperor. When he entered the door, he saw Lan Qi in a palace maid's uniform standing in front of the mirror. He looked at her in a daze and was very happy. But he said with a smile: "Where did the palace maid come from and not be polite to me when she saw me? That's all.
, come and take off my armor."
Lan Qi moved forward in response, but stopped again after thinking about it. She pouted and looked at Xuan Ye angrily. The two sides glared at each other. Xuan Ye seemed to be unable to control himself. He smiled and came over to hug Lan Qi
Huai, the cold and hard armor doesn't feel that scary. We haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and everyone who sees him has a ball of fire in his heart.
"I'm no longer a palace maid, I'm just wearing the clothes of a palace maid." Lan Qi said softly in Xuan Ye's arms, "I'd like to send you my greetings to the emperor. Is the emperor going to have a good trip? Your Majesty... do you want to
Are you a concubine?"
Xuan Ye's eyes were full of smiles, and he gently pecked her on the cheek and said: "I've thought about it so much, I can't wait to travel thousands of miles to see you."
Lan Qi smiled sweetly: "What about the Queen Mother? You also miss the Queen Mother, right?"
Xuan Ye pinched her waist: "Honestly, please take off my armor quickly before I go to review the army's night march. During the day, I also hung out among the soldiers all day long and was covered with dust. They will bring hot water later.
, give me a good wash."
Lan Qi whispered: "I've been jolting around for most of the night, and my body is sweaty, sticky, and very uncomfortable."
Xuan Ye smiled: "Would you like to come together..."
"don't want."
Of course, she didn't want to. Lan Qi found that she seemed to be in the military camp and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But later, when the two of them cleaned up and snuggled together, Xuan Ye told her that she was not really in the military camp, but that she came back halfway to take a look.
, it’s just escorted by people from the army.
At that time, Lan Qi said, "So you're not in the military camp?"
Xuan Ye immediately stepped forward and asked: "So? What is my concubine, what do you want to do?"
Lan Qi knew she couldn't escape tonight, not to mention that Xuan Ye was full of fire. She hadn't seen her beloved for more than half a month, and spent the middle of the night blinking away from the palace. In this wilderness, the uneasiness and confusion in her heart gradually changed. Waiting
Zhenzhen was in Xuan Ye's arms, and all the feelings turned into soft affection in an instant, but Jiao Didi said: "I'm afraid I can't, the carriage is really bumpy, my whole body hurts, I'm so tired that I feel sleepy."
Xuan Ye's big hands brushed her body, which seemed as soft as a boneless body, rubbing and kneading it lightly or heavily, coaxing her: "I'll rub it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."
Lan Qi's delicate skin turned red inch by inch under Xuan Ye's hands. Although this was not the first time she had sex in a tent, this experience was truly rare, and it felt more like a long separation than a newlywed. There is no need to go into detail about how many times she had sex.
, only to know that when she woke up the next morning, Lan Qi felt even more weak and weak. However, Xuan Ye was in high spirits and left her alone to rest for a long time while he went back to busy with important things.
When the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, Xuan Ye came back in a hurry, and Lan Qi had also washed up and dressed up. The emperor asked her if she was hungry. When he heard that she had bought some snacks, he smiled: "I will take you to a place to have a look. When I leave the capital,
Passing by, they said that if they were lucky enough to come back, they would see the magnificent scenery, but they didn't expect that they would, so they left now."
But Lan Qi stopped and asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with the Empress Dowager? I am not afraid of other people gossiping, but I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will be angry."
"I'm always here. Grandma Huang doesn't know our tempers yet, so don't think about it when you come out. I wanted you to relax and have a good time, so I asked Chang Ning to pick you up. Don't let his hard work go in vain." Xuan Ye didn't take it seriously.
After that, he even took the "palace maids" on a trip in a grand manner. Very few of the people accompanying him had seen the concubines. There were already maids on this trip. The emperor brought a few here, but they all stayed in the original team to follow the prince. Who
And care about it.
But there was one missing concubine in the palace, and it was still the current favorite concubine, Empress De, but no one could help but care about it. One night passed, rumors spread from nowhere in the palace, saying that Concubine De had an affair with Prince Gong and escaped.
The words were completely unpleasant, and they poked at the sensitive parts of the palace. It was such a coincidence that the concubine claimed to be ill and closed the door to thank the guests.
The people in the palace were curious and had to go to Yonghe Palace to find out. But after all, Lan Qi was a virtuous concubine. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did not say anything, or Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen didn't care. The door of Yonghe Palace was really not easy.
Enter, when the Cining Palace heard about it early in the morning, the Empress Dowager believed that Lan Qi was ill and sent the imperial physician to see her. However, when she returned, the physician's words were ambiguous and she said that she had not seen him. The rumor spread out to the Cining Palace that Lan Qi was ill.
The palace was once again in an uproar.
The Queen Mother was really angry and sent Grandma Sumala to see her again. Huan Chun couldn't stop her and allowed Grandma to see the empty bedroom with her own eyes. The person who just stretched out his arm to check the pulse through the curtain was also wearing a green bead.
, several people knelt down and begged their mother not to tell the Queen Mother, but she pinched their ears and scolded them: "How can the Queen Mother hide this stupid thing? If you keep hiding it, all the ugly things will come out."
But when Mammy returned to Cining Palace uneasily, the Empress Dowager told her: "There is no need to check, he left the palace. Someone came to report just now, saying that Xuan Ye asked Chang Ning to come and pick him up. I'm afraid I won't agree.
Let's kill first and tell later. Everyone came to Xuan Ye at midnight last night and came to report early this morning. Xuan Ye was making nonsense, and Lan Qi had no brains. She refused to do such a thing, so did Chang Ning tie her up? Two stupid things,
In the palace and among the nobles, I am not sure how to talk about this matter, Xuan Ye is still accompanied by the prince."
Mammy could only advise: "After all, it has not been publicized, it is just a rumor without trace. When the emperor comes back safely, no matter how good the concubine is, if the emperor doesn't care, it will be useless for those people to say anything. Don't be angry yet.
, Fortunately, everyone is safe, it’s not too late for you to teach me a lesson when you get back.”
The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly: "The lesson is inevitable. The tighter I control Lan Qi, the better she will understand the importance in the future, and the more noble she will be in front of others. Just now, she was worried that something bad would happen and was irritated. I know that they are all fine.
Just have fun for a few days, being an emperor is not easy, being an emperor's woman is even harder."
The pair of people who were far away from the capital were completely unaware of the excitement in the palace. As if they had put aside all their worries, Xuan Ye took Lan Qi all the way out of the camp. When they were far away, he hugged her and rode with her, riding straight to the camp a few miles away.
It seemed that she had climbed up a high slope, but when she got close, Xuan Ye covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and then slowly led the horse forward. Lan Qi was picked up from the high horse in a panic.
He followed cautiously step by step, only to hear Xuan Ye say: "There are many rocks here, take your time, don't be in a hurry..."
"Your Majesty, please take off the veil. I am dizzy." Lan Qi was blindfolded. She could sense light but could not see anything. Fortunately, she finally settled on one place. The emperor held her waist, and she moved a little.
After struggling for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, others have seen it."
"They all have their backs turned, who can see, it's troublesome." Xuan Ye scolded her, and then he opened the veil slightly, letting out a little light to let her get used to it, and when she said her eyes were open, he suddenly twitched.
After opening the silk scarf and hearing Lan Qi's surprised voice, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
What came into view was a vast forest of peach blossoms, high up, full of bright red, delicate and soft colors. Peach blossoms were not unusual, but what was strange was that Lan Qi had never seen so many peach blossoms blooming together.
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "The sky is high and the sky is high here. Only in this way can you truly enjoy flower viewing. I know that you must also be bored by the constraints of the four high walls of the Forbidden City. I am the same, let alone you?"
Lan Qi felt that her body had become lighter. The spring breeze was blowing slowly, and occasionally a few wisps of very light fragrance were almost undetectable. She even imagined it herself. However, she felt that her muscles and bones were relaxed and her whole body was relaxed. Maybe it was what Xuan Ye said.
, here the sky is high and the sky is high, and there is no restraint.
"I passed by here when I left Beijing. I heard that if I come back to Beijing at the right time, I can see the blooming scene. But if the weather is bad, sooner or later, I won't be able to see it. I don't know if it's your fate or mine. In the end,
When I catch up, I definitely want you to come and have a look. Although I sent Chang Ning, I'm still afraid that you won't come." Xuan Ye hugged Lan Qi, couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers but could smell her own breath on her neck, and smiled.
He said, "When I saw Chang Ning when I came back, that boy was still playing charades with me. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see you before entering the tent, but at least you are here. It's only been half a month, why do I miss you so much this time?"
"Your Majesty?" Lan Qi didn't understand either.
But Xuan Ye had the answer. He leaned against her and said with sadness: "I have placed the tombs of the two queens. After that, I only have to pay tribute every year and repair the tombs. What else can they do? They obviously
They were all once my wives, but they all left me. Niu Hulu is still okay, Queen Hesheli shares the same hardships with me, but cannot share the blessings. Lan Qi... you promised me, and we will stay with you for the rest of our lives.
"
"Your Majesty..." Lan Qi felt warm and painful in her heart, and then she understood why Xuan Ye was so impulsive to get herself out of the palace. He was entangled in mixed emotions. He couldn't wait to go to the palace to resolve it. He would never
Forgetting the emperor's back in the rain outside the Qianqing Palace, the reluctance to part with his deceased wife was not an old love that she should be jealous of, but a proof that this man was worth trusting. If he was a loveless person, what would his affection be?
Lan Qi smiled sweetly: "I have promised you several times. If you ask again, I will charge interest."
"You..." Xuan Ye's mood suddenly brightened, he picked her up and turned around to kiss her, "How do you calculate the interest? Does it count tonight?"
"Your Majesty!" Thinking that the guards behind might hear her, Wu Yalanqi's face turned redder than peach blossoms.
But at this moment, in the deep palace, there was a lot of excitement in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace. It seemed that some concubines were coming to investigate. Huan Chun blocked her from entering. There was a bit of a quarrel. There were also noises in the adjacent Chengqian Palace. Tong
The imperial concubine listened to Qinglian's story impatiently, then stood up suddenly and said: "I'm so annoyed."
