Jue Chan's face turned pale due to illness. He leaned on the bed and gave Hui concubine a cold look. Then he glanced over and said, "I am ill and it is not appropriate to see each other. Please come back, my concubine."
"What's wrong with you?" Hui Bin was puzzled, with anger on her brows, "Why is Hao Duanduan so sick that I can't even talk to you properly?"
Jue Chan turned sideways and looked inward, very arrogant and rude, as if he didn't take Hui concubine seriously, or didn't care that he would be disrespectful. He only said: "I am a sick and weak person, so I really can't chat with you.
Please come back."
After that, no matter what Hui Bin asked or said, Jue Chan ignored her and finally asked Hui Bin to leave quickly. The latter was really confused and didn't know where he had offended this woman again, but in his heart
There is something that is a hidden worry, but when I think about it, I don’t know who Jue Chan would have said it if he knew about it.
Outside the house, Xiang He was busy serving tea to Hui Concubine. Bao Yun followed her and looked at her for a few times. He smiled and pointed out a few words. She became familiar with her as she came and went. Bao Yun casually asked: "Jue Chan is always here."
Why are you sick? Is it because the weather is too hot or too cold?"
Xianghe was busy with her hands, probably because she was tired of serving the disease and was a little resentful, so she unconsciously said: "She often has a light diet and a certain daily routine, and I have served her wholeheartedly. I really don't know when she will catch a cold." Concubine Wen
My wife was fine when she invited my master to have a meal with her before she went out. However, for some reason she cried for most of the night, and she was no longer well the next day. Even now, the imperial doctor can't figure out what to do."
While saying this, the tea was ready. The two of them came together, but saw Hui Bin walking out the door angrily. Xianghe said timidly: "Is the queen leaving? Would you like a cup of tea?"
"What else are you drinking tea for?" Hui Bin was very angry, but when she thought that this was Xianfu Palace after all, and not all of Concubine Wen's people had left, she quickly calmed down her emotions and said generously, "I will serve you well, I'm always here, Wen."
The concubine is not at home. If you need anything, just come to Changchun Palace and ask."
Xiang He didn't dare to keep her, so she sent her out respectfully. The sun was blazing fiercely, and even holding an umbrella was not enough. Hui Bin was in a bad mood. She went all the way back, and when she passed by the gate of Yikun Palace, she saw Yi Bin.
Hold Taohong and walk outside.
When they met each other, Yi Bi was generous and said with a smile: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you sit shoulder to shoulder on such a hot day? Heat stroke is not good."
The two were not at odds with each other. Of course Hui Bin had a good face and asked her: "Why did you come out? Did the doctor say you are well?"
Yi Bin's body has not yet recovered, and her pale face seems to be not afraid of the poisonous sun. She even looked up at the sun and said: "The imperial doctor asked me to come out to bask in the sun. It can't last long. It only takes half a moment. There is draft here. Standing there
Cool down. I’m about to go back, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea, sister?”
Counting the days, Guo Guiren’s seventh day passed. There were few people in the palace, so Hui Concubine no longer had to worry about it, so she came up and took Yi Concubine in the door. She only heard her say: "When the emperor came back from Changrui Mountain, he also said
Wait for me to deliver soup again in the summer, but I suddenly go to escape the summer heat. Is it possible that I prepare it every day and have it delivered to Yingtai? The sun is shining all the way, and it will go rancid."
Hearing what she said, Hui Bin knew that she felt uncomfortable, so she could only advise: "After you recover, where can't you go?"
Yi Bin smiled bitterly: "I heard that my sister has also been to Yingtai? I've been in the palace for so many years, but I haven't been there yet. I'm bored to death living in the Forbidden City."
It is said that Yingtai was built by Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally named Nantai. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi took the meaning of the fairyland on earth and renamed it Yingtai. Yingtai is surrounded by water. The mountains, flowers and grass are the same color as the sky and water, and the pavilions and pavilions are magnificent, just like a fairy in the sea.
The island is a holy place for summer vacation. This time the emperor sent the Empress Dowager to come here to escape the summer heat. He even planned to hold a banquet in July to celebrate the success of San Francisco. She expected to return only after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yi Bin said that she had only lived in the Forbidden City.
However, Lan Qi did not spend the summer in the palace for two consecutive years.
The prince and the princess were all accompanying him on this trip. The prince and the eldest brother continued to read and write every day and did not waste time. The third brother and Rong Xian followed Duan Concubine. The two children were interested in the new and fun things here and were intimate with Duan Concubine.
I miss my mother. The other princesses still live with their mothers or are cared for by their wet nurses. Except for the different living places here, the rules are not as big as in the palace. Everything is the same as before.
The emperor also did not slack off in his administration, and the ministers' memorials were sent to Yingtai every day. Others thought that the emperor must be leisurely and carefree when he spent the summer, but in fact Xuan Ye worked hard day and night, just like in the palace.
Lan Qi came with her, and most of the time she served in front of the Empress Dowager. Because Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen were also accompanying her, it was impossible for Xuan Ye to treat her exclusively. Fortunately, Lan Qi herself didn't care much, and occasionally Xuan Ye was there.
Living in her house, the two of them talked and laughed, and there were some sweet moments that they couldn't share with outsiders.
On this day of heavy rain, Lan Qi left Xuan Ye and was going to go to the Queen Mother. However, a violent storm made it difficult for her to walk halfway. She could only barely hide from the rain, and the place where she took shelter happened to be Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen.
The eighth prince couldn't stop crying because of the lightning and thunder. But when Concubine Wen heard that Concubine De was hiding from the rain outside the door, she went directly to the door and said: "Come in and sit down. You are hiding from the rain outside, and others are still treating you like this."
I won't let you in, the rain won't stop for a while, come and help me coax Brother Eighth."
Having no choice but to enter the door, Dongyun led the palace maids to wipe the water off Empress Debin and brought her a bowl of ginger tea. Lan Qi drank it and the eighth prince was still crying. Concubine Wen walked around the wet nurse and kept talking.
Asked: "Why doesn't he stop crying?"
Lan Qi didn't come over to take a look, she just sat outside and waited. Soon the eighth brother's crying stopped, and Concubine Wen came out tiredly. Although it was raining heavily, she asked Dongyun to bring herbal tea to drink.
"How long will it take for this child to stop crying and making fuss? Is sixth elder brother still like this?" Concubine Wen asked wistfully, and even said to herself, "Eighth elder brother always cried and fussed after he came. If I had known, I would have kept him in the palace.
I won’t bring it anymore.”
Lan Qi was silent and kept looking at the rain outside. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. They drove to Yingtai and lived in different places. Lan Qi visited every place, even the residence of Concubine Tong.
I have been there before, but I have never been to Concubine Wen.
"It's just a wild thought. When I went out, I felt sick when I went out. I left the eighth elder brother unattended and the emperor would not agree." Concubine Wen was still mumbling about the child. Seeing that Lan Qi was absent-minded, she suddenly
He smiled and said, "Do you know why Mr. Jue Chan got sick?"
Lan Qi was startled and looked at Concubine Wen. There was a little pride in her smile, but she couldn't guess why she was happy. She could only shake her head: "I have never cared about Jue Chan's constant presence, let alone that she is a queen.
Ju, if the empress doesn’t know, I, the concubine, will not know either.”
Concubine Wen loosened her collar to breathe, picked up the round fan and shook it lightly, smiling: "Of course I know why she is sick." Just as Dongyun brought herbal tea, she waved the maids to go elsewhere, and Huanchun followed Lan Qi.
, seeing this situation, he had to leave.
Only Lan Qi and Concubine Wen were left in the room. The former felt a little irritable, but Concubine Wen suddenly came over affectionately, sat very close to Lan Qi, and whispered: "I will tell you a secret. You can hear it before leaving the palace."
Yes, it’s simply unbelievable.”
Lan Qi regretted why she didn't go back in spite of the wind and rain, and she didn't know what troublesome things she wanted to hear now. But when she had no choice but to listen to Concubine Wen's so-called "secret", she felt a chill on her back, and was confused for a moment.
She left her seat, knelt down, and begged Concubine Wen: "If I have offended you with my words, please forgive me, but please listen to what I have to say about this matter. It is related to Jue Chan's reputation and the reputation of the emperor."
, you can never tell others again."
Concubine Wen clicked her tongue: "Get up, it's Jue Chan and Nalan Rongruo who have an old relationship, and it's not you. Why are you so nervous? What's more, the story of their childhood sweethearts when they were young is not a secret, it's just that no one asked about it and no one mentioned it.
Just get up."
Lan Qi was worried. She had warned Jue Chan before, just as Concubine Wen said now, their past was not a secret, it was just that no one mentioned it, but once it was mentioned, it would be a disaster if it could not be kept.
Concubine Wen said to herself: "I didn't believe it at first. Before I went out to have dinner with her, I mentioned that Nalan Rongruo brought a girl back from Jiangnan and kept him in a private house. She was furious when Mingzhu noticed it. Her face was very angry at that time.
It was ugly. I heard crying at night and fell ill early the next morning. She was really pitiful when I thought about it. No wonder she told me that she was in awe of the emperor and could not even look at his face."
Lan Qi was frightened when she heard this, but remembering what she had told Jue Chan that day, she forced herself to calm down. She had said that she would not care anymore and could not let such things interfere with her anymore.
"No wonder she is so beautiful, and the emperor obviously likes her, but she suddenly left me alone and ignored her, and she has no desire to be favored." Concubine Wen lamented, "The other women in the palace are not very good-looking.
They still hope that the emperor will look at them one more time. She is like a fairy, but her heart is still. It has always been strange, but now she understands it. Her heart is not with Long Live Lord at all. "
Lan Qi looked up and saw that the dark clouds had dispersed outside. Knowing that a burst of rain was about to pass, she stood up to leave, but Concubine Wen followed behind her and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Not everyone in this palace is happy."
I understand if you can speak your mind."
Lan Qi looked back at her, blessed her body and said, "I didn't even hear what I just said. Please don't take it to heart about what I said. The rain has stopped and I'm leaving."
Concubine Wen said, "Hui Bin always goes to talk to Jue Chan secretly. Although I don't interact with anyone, I know that Hui Bin is a scheming person. You have to be careful about her."
Lan Qi was puzzled, but Concubine Wen smiled faintly: "Although I hope the emperor will visit me more often instead of you, I won't harm you, but I can't guarantee what others will think. The emperor said he would help
The fact that my medicine was transferred during the investigation shows that it’s not the emperor who didn’t allow me to get pregnant, but I don’t know whose idea it was. Looking at the palace, how sinister the people’s hearts are?”
