"Who made her angry? Weren't we watching a show in Chengqian Palace today?" Xuan Ye called Huan Chun up and asked with a serious face, "Has she been bullied?"
Huan Chun was about to speak sarcastically about those long-tongued women. She had just shouted Long Live Lord when she heard her master calling her. Everyone followed the call and saw Lan Qi standing in front of the door, as if she had run out in a hurry, without even wearing shoes.
, said with a sullen face, "Huanchun, go and serve tea. The emperor is here, why don't you invite him in?"
"Empress..."
Huan Chun seemed to want to speak, but Lan Qi actually stepped out of the threshold with bare feet and said angrily: "Why don't you go and serve tea?"
Xuan Ye couldn't see it, so he came over from Huan Chun, pulled Lan Qi into the house, and scolded: "It's hot and you can't go barefoot, and you are fooling around again. What's going on? If there is something important that you can't say, why are you in such a hurry?
Want to stop her?"
The two of them sat down inside. Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi's mouth pouting so high. He was holding a folding fan in his hand and put it on her lips: "Look, you can even put a fan on it. Let's talk. After all,
Who has been wronged by you?"
Lan Qi jumped forward and got into Xuan Ye's arms. The emperor was startled, opened his hands, hesitated for a moment before hugging her, paused in the air and said: "You don't speak, how can I coax you? What's wrong?"
I thought about it for a while and said with a smile, "Are you jealous again? Why are you staying in Xianfu Palace for the past few days?"
"emperor……"
Lan Qi finally spoke and shouted softly, making Xuan Ye laugh: "This tone, you are short of money again?"
At this moment, Huan Chun came to serve tea. When he entered the door, he saw the two of them leaning away like this. He quickly turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xuan Ye, who said, "Huan Chun, please tell me what's going on. Your master can only cling to others.
I can’t even sit still.”
Lan Qi then jumped up and wanted to push Huanchun away in disgust, shouting to herself: "I just want you to speak for yourself, don't let Huanchun do it."
Xuan Ye tapped her forehead with a folding fan, not lightly but not hard, and said solemnly: "If you don't say anything, I will leave. It's so hot and I want to come over and drink a bowl of herbal tea to talk and relieve my fatigue. Who wants to see you acting up?"
Having said that, it can be seen that the person in front of me was really aggrieved, but he still asked gently: "Do you not want to say it, or can't say it, can't I make the decision for you?"
"It happened in those few days." Lan Qi lowered her head, playing with the jade pendant tied around Xuan Ye's waist with both hands, and said slowly, "Today, all the palaces and courtyards gathered together to wait for the show to start, and they joked about the emperor's previous
I met a palace maid in the military camp, but I didn't bring him back. She said that the women outside were not what you wanted, and they were all laughing and joking. I knew in my heart that they were just teasing me and trying to embarrass me.
."
Xuan Ye smiled slightly: "You will also file a complaint? This is the first time in all these years that I have heard you say something wrong about someone else."
Lan Qi raised her face and said: "The emperor asked, otherwise I wouldn't want to say anything. If you go to Xianfu Palace to drink herbal tea, you won't see that I am unhappy. I can just spend the night alone."
"
"How pitiful, there is no one to comfort you when you are unhappy." Xuan Ye smiled, and Lan Qi felt sweet in her heart when she saw him smiling like this. A smile gradually appeared on her face, and the emperor even said to her, "If I ask you which
You must be unwilling to talk about it, that is, it is something you don’t care about. If you don’t care about something, just forget it. Having said that, what if they say a few words? Isn’t it just because I am happy with you that I am jealous?
Are they not sarcastic or sarcastic? They are slapping themselves in the face with each sentence and insisting on telling others about their dissatisfaction. You should pity them."
"The Emperor would also say such things?" The Emperor favored her every word, but Lan Qi didn't know whether she should be happy or not. She might be worrying too much, fearing that one day the Emperor would say this to others.
.
But Xuan Ye was sincere. He stretched out his hand to rub her head and said, "What earth-shattering things have the kings of all ages not done to smile for a beautiful woman? I want to be a wise king, and a wise king cannot do anything earth-shattering just to coax a beautiful woman. But this
I can still say a few words, as long as you are happy."
Lan Qi then leaned softly into his arms. Xuan Ye complained that the weather was so hot that she was sweating. The person in his arms smiled happily and asked, "So I am the emperor's beauty."
"Sit up quickly, I'll talk to you." Xuan Ye patted her back, and when he saw Lan Qi's face, it no longer looked gloomy as when he came in. There was a bright and bright smile on his face. He liked it in his heart and said softly,
"You, you are not young in a few years. It is not right to act coquettishly like this. You have not been a concubine for a long time. Please change your behavior."
Lan Qi was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why can't I do this? Have you done anything wrong?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "I can't be a virtuous concubine, I want to be a virtuous concubine."
"Your Majesty?" Lan Qi didn't know what state of mind she was in. Looking at the concubines in the palace, Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen were of noble birth and had high status when they entered the palace. Everyone else came along the way. Concubines Rong and Concubine Hui, who were not the same?
It took more than ten years, but she had only been with the emperor for more than six years. In the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, she had already been looked down upon for being a concubine alone, and now she would be promoted to the concubine position in just two years?
Xuan Ye smiled: "Of course it is not your fault alone. I have received news that the three feudal lords will be at peace before summer comes out. I am preparing a grand banquet to reward the three armies. And the tombs of the two queens have been arranged.
Although I don’t plan to have another queen, Feng Yin must belong to someone, and the harem will be sealed off at that time. In short, there will be many good things in and outside the palace this year. Although you don’t need to be busy with these things, you are serving the imperial grandmother while looking coldly.
Look at what others have done. When you become the Imperial Concubine, the affairs of the Sixth Palace that I have entrusted to you will be just around the corner."
Lan Qi listened quietly and suddenly said: "So in the future, if I run errands for the emperor, I can't have fun anymore?"
Xuan Ye was stunned, laughed, pinched her face and said, "Why can't you play? I will play with you forever."
"I will remember it," Lan Qi said seriously now, smiling, "I will study attentively, and the Empress Dowager is also very strict in teaching me. She was scolded yesterday."
"You are so smart, there is nothing you can't learn?" Xuan Ye took off his shoes, lay back and said, "I asked Huan Chun to bring me some tea. He said he has been very thirsty for a long time, so I will rest here for half an hour.
, I have to meet the minister at night."
Lan Qi didn't dare to pester anymore, so she called Huanchun to serve tea. It was a sultry day, so she sat on the edge and fanned Xuan Ye for a while, fearing that he would be uncomfortable with the cold and put her clothes on him.
We built a bed together and sat with him for half an hour. Xuan Ye slept well. After waking up, he washed his face, drank a cup of tea, and went to do some work in the Qing Palace.
But I don't know how I remembered it, so I walked to the door with Lan Qi and suddenly said: "You go to see the emperor's grandmother tomorrow and tell me what I mean. I want to take some cousins from the grassland to Yingtai for a stroll. Ask
Grandma Imperial, do you want to go? If so, I will take you with me. We will go to Yingtai in the summer, and I will celebrate and give you a banquet there. We will come back in the autumn."
Although Lan Qi remembered to ask, she didn't quite understand why the emperor suddenly thought of this. Xuan Ye smiled: "Isn't there someone who likes to make fun of you? Then I simply won't be in the palace and will lead you there openly." During the summer vacation, all the masters in the palace are gone, so they can talk happily, I will help them."
After the emperor said this, he left, leaving Lan Qi in front of the door. Huan Chun heard it just now and couldn't help but push his master and said: "Long live the Lord, you are really flattering. I guess, even tomorrow The Empress Dowager is too annoyed and refuses to go, so the Emperor will certainly take you there to escape the summer heat."
In this way, Lan Qi relayed the emperor's intention to the Empress Dowager the next day. The old man was too lazy to move, but her grandma persuaded her to spend the summer in the garden last year. It was hot and busy in the palace, so it was better to follow the emperor. The Empress Dowager thought it would be good to go to Yingtai for a short stay. After that, when talking about the number of people accompanying her, Grandma first sent someone to Qianqing Palace to spread the word.
Not long after, Eunuch Li came in person and bowed down to report: "Long Live Master said that Yingtai is not as spacious as the palace, so it is not suitable to bring too many people there. Naturally, Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen will accompany them. In addition, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong will accompany them." The empress is in charge of the affairs of the palace, so it is not convenient to leave. The empress dowager has to have the concubines to serve her, and several elder brothers and princesses are also going, so I would like to invite the concubines to come with them. Long live the four concubines. Your Majesty, please let the Empress Dowager make the final decision regarding the rest."
The emperor's intention was very clear. He would not take anything that should not be brought with him. Later, he added a few more. In the end, the harem accompanying the harem to Yingtai for summer vacation was Concubine Tong, Concubine Wen, Concubine De, Concubine Duan, Concubine Bu, and Dai Changzai. There were really not many people who came over.
Lan Qi did not expect that Concubine Rong would not go either. When she left, she mentioned it to Aunt Sumala, but she laughed: "We are all leaving, and there must be a pleasant person left in the palace. Concubine Rong will go with her in the early years." When we passed Yingtai, there were not so many mistresses there at that time, so she wouldn’t care about it. If she had any questions, the Empress Dowager would naturally go to her and tell her, “Mother, don’t worry too much, you can take more care of your third elder brother when the time comes.” Concubine Rong will be happy."
Later, when the imperial edict was passed down, something like this suddenly happened without any warning. Within a few days, the emperor took the empress dowager, empress dowager and other empresses out of the palace to escape the summer heat in Yingtai.
The few people accompanying him were naturally too busy to take care of things, but they didn't catch anything. They just waited for the royal chariot to leave the palace, and then they just recovered. After all, if there were any summer vacation plans in previous years, they were all planned in the spring, and there were many encounters. Things didn't work out. It was the first time that I suddenly mentioned going to escape the summer heat and left immediately.
But although there was a certain number of people accompanying him, the master and his servants left many people, and the palace became clean for the first time, and the remaining palaces and courtyards seemed to have been relegated to the cold palace. When we gathered in Changchun Palace that day to talk, Some people actually shed emotional tears, saying why Yingtai is not spacious enough to accommodate several women.
Also left behind was Jue Chan, who was in the side hall of Xianfu Palace. Although she was the biological mother of the Eighth Prince, she was not qualified to go with him to escape the summer heat. As a result, Hui Bin came to see her, and she became It was much easier. But when Hui Bin came to talk to Jue Chan in excitement that day, she thought that Jue Chan would figure it out, but she was sick. Not only was she sick, but she also returned to her previous indifferent attitude when she saw him. Hui Bin was very irritable and asked her bitterly: "What's going on?"
