189 There are still mandarin ducks playing in the water
The night was so dark that Lan Qi couldn't see anything clearly. The little eunuch next to her had very good eyesight and was still saying, "There are two people. Madam, look at the one on the shore and the one in the water."
As he said this, he walked closer unknowingly, and he saw two people who looked like little palace maids. One of them was splashing in the water and laughing: "Come down, it will be cooler. The water is so clean."
The one on the shore was timid, and said timidly: "Come up quickly, or we will be in trouble if grandma finds us."
Lan Qi looked at the blurry figure with a smile. When she was a palace maid, she had a naughty heart but no naughty courage. Only when she became the emperor's woman did she let out her youthful and playful temperament and roll around in the snow.
Xuanye saw him with wet clothes and was scolded to death. He was still happy. But in a blink of an eye, he had two children. One of them had to be steady as a mother, but when the other faced Xuan Ye, he still thought that he was
In the final analysis, a 28-year-old girl is spoiled by the emperor.
"Let's go, they are just playful palace maids." Lan Qi did not intend to stop them, and was about to leave with them. But before they crossed the water bridge, she heard a man's voice yelling: "Where are the palace maids?"
, come up quickly, are you not afraid of drowning?"
Lan Qi then stopped again. The father-in-law beside her ran forward to take a look and came back to report: "The guards patrolled over and brought the two maids up. Don't worry, the lady in charge will come to take them away soon."
.”
Xiangyue next to her heard it and couldn't help but let out a cry: "Now that they are taking us back, our butts will suffer. If we are beaten severely, we won't be able to sit on the bench for three or four days."
"It's a hot day, don't break them." Lan Qi was kind-hearted and ordered the people around her, "Take them back to my place and clean them up first. When the grandma in charge comes, I can give you some advice, the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother and I are both here, so there is no need to fight or kill."
After that, Lan Qi went back. Xuan Ye was walking in a hurry and she was sweating.
Her Hanfu gauze.
Xuan Ye has always liked Han culture, and he also likes the fluttering clothes of Han women. On a whim that day, he got this light gauze dress and let Lan Qi wear it as pajamas in the house at night. Who knew that this dress would actually
It fit perfectly, and Lan Qi's figure was slim and soft. Under the tulle in the candlelight, the crystal skin was looming, which made Xuan Ye crazy. When he came tonight, Lan Qi naturally changed into this outfit.
A green gauze screen was set up in the room. Lan Qi walked around the screen and sat down. Outside the screen, two little palace maids were kneeling on the ground. They had already changed into clean clothes, but they were frightened and looked hazy through the green gauze.
Seeing them trembling, Lan Qi smiled: "Are you scared now? How happy you were when you jumped into the water just now. You are too courageous. If you don't say that you shouldn't play in the water, you just say that if you fall into the water with a loud bang, what if?
What can I do if my leg cramps and I can’t get up? The water is really deep.”
The palace maid kneeling outside thought she would be scolded for being so aggressive, but she didn't know that Empress De was so gentle and had a smile on her face when she spoke. The two looked at each other and felt reassured.
But before they could thank them, there was a commotion outside and the nun in charge came in. Knowing that she had disturbed the concubine, she seemed to be frightened, so she kicked the two girls in the buttocks and apologized to the concubine for not disciplining her servants.
The nanny fell to the ground and murmured: "Both girls came to Yingtai in the spring. They are young and ignorant. My servant can't control my temper even if I beat and scold them every day. I hope your empress won't take offense. I will definitely teach them a lesson when I go back."
Huan Chun came over and whispered a few words next to Lan Qi, hoping that the mistress could just say a few words. These nuns had their own way of disciplining their subordinates. If the concubine supported the little palace maid and refuted the face of the old nuns, go to
After that, it would be difficult for them to train their servants. Lan Qi also thought this was true, so she smiled and said to the nanny, "It's not a big deal at all. Little girls are always playful, since I am the one who takes care of them.
When you come back, please take care of my face and don’t punish me too harshly. After all, the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager are here, and people like Buddha cannot be beaten or killed."
The old nun kowtowed hurriedly after hearing this, so Huan Chun went to get some benefits. He didn't want the nun to speak ill of his master behind his back, so he sent them away soon. When he came back, he said with a smile: "The two girls have been screwed."
If you walk with your ears open, you will inevitably get beaten when you go back. It looks pitiful, but no little palace maid has come here like this. If you want to suffer less physical pain, you have to be better and sleep better."
Lan Qi also laughed and said: "So Xiangyue was the first to speak out, wasn't she scolded by you every day?" Just as she was laughing at Xiangyue's child-like temper after so many years, Lan Qi suddenly thought of Huan Chun's age, and pulled
She asked, "It's time for you to leave the palace, isn't it?"
Huan Chun was startled. When he understood the meaning of the word "leaving the palace", there was an indescribable emotion on his face. He lowered his head and said: "Counting the days, it is time for me to leave the palace at the end of the year."
Lan Qi was full of reluctance, but she couldn't keep Huan Chun in this palace for the rest of her life. She should also leave the palace to live her own life, get married and have children and no longer serve others. But Huan Chun left, and her side
There is no one who is capable. It would be unrealistic for her to enter the palace after giving birth. Think about it, even if someone new comes to her in the future, they will have to leave as time goes by. According to her heart, she can never bear to restrain people.
In the palace.
"Although my wish when I entered the palace was to leave the palace as soon as possible, now I can't bear to leave you. When Grandma Sumala sent you here, she also told her that it wouldn't be a bad thing if she stayed with a good master in the palace for the rest of her life.
"When you leave the palace to marry, you don't know whether the man is good or not. If you are unlucky enough to meet someone worthless, you will beat your wife and scold the children and live a hard life with no hope for the rest of your life." Huan Chun's face was full of contradictions, and he said frankly, "But
The slave will also think that if he meets a good person, he will be blessed."
After saying this, he hurriedly explained to Lan Qi: "Master, please don't misunderstand me. Serving you is also my blessing. These are two different things."
Lan Qi nodded repeatedly: "How could I misunderstand you? When I entered the palace, I was looking forward to leaving the palace. Even if I had feelings for Sister Bu, I didn't plan to stay with her forever. My mother said when she sent me to the palace.
, waiting for me to find a good home for me when I go out."
Huan Chun said piously: "Master, I haven't made up my mind yet. If I do, can I talk to you again? If I want to stay in the palace and serve you for the rest of my life, don't you dare leave me? Just like that."
Like Aunt Sumala, she will follow the Empress Dowager for the rest of her life."
"If you want to leave, I will never stay. If you don't want to leave, I will treat you as a sister for the rest of my life." Lan Qi also said it bluntly. She really didn't want Huan Chun to leave, and although this matter was put aside for the time being, Huan Chun
There is still a while to think about it, but Lan Qi can't let it go tonight. After that, she waits for Xuan Ye to come alone. She lies on the bed and thinks about it over and over again. She wonders what she will do if Huan Chun leaves. She just waits for the emperor.
When it arrived, she didn't even notice it.
When Xuan Ye came in, he saw Lan Qi in a gauze dress leaning on the couch under the window. Her slim body and snow-white skin were dimly visible in the gauze dress. The candlelight flickered, and the beauty on the couch was really beautiful and delicious. It made Xuan Ye's heart flutter, so he cheated her.
He hugged her and asked gently: "Which beauty is sleeping here, but she is waiting for her husband?"
Only then did Lan Qi realize that the emperor was coming. She turned over and sat up, but she was uninterested and pouted. Seeing that the emperor was still wearing clothes outside, she reached out to untie him, but Xuan Ye grabbed his hand and nodded at her.
He pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "What's the matter? You've been getting angry at every turn lately, and you've become more and more petty. I've said it so many times, just say it if you're unhappy. Don't even the emperor be able to make decisions for you?"
Already."
However, Lan Qi forced Xuan Ye to change clothes and called the eunuch to prepare for a bath. When Xuan Ye was bathing, she sat on the edge and rubbed his shoulders before saying, "I suddenly remembered that Huan Chun was leaving the palace."
At this age, if everything goes well, I will leave the palace at the end of the year. How long have I been with the emperor? How long has Huan Chun been with me? Now that I have to leave, I may never see him again. Can I feel better?"
Xuan Ye said, "There are many people in the palace who are staying behind. Can't you just leave Huan Chun behind?"
"How can that be possible? Because I like her, she has to serve others all her life? There are still rules in the palace to let people go, so how can I restrain her for the rest of my life?" Lan Qi leaned on Xuan Ye's shoulder and said, "I will let you go."
Worry about yourself for a while. If the person is gone, there will be feelings for a new person. Grandma will definitely choose a capable person for me. You don’t have to worry about me. As for my face just now, I didn’t look good. Could it be that I forced a smile?
, the emperor is willing to give up?"
"I just said a word." Xuan Ye snorted angrily, "Your mouth is getting worse and worse. Come here and let me take a look."
Lan Qi was pulled hard by the emperor, half of her body fell into the bathtub, her gauze was soaked and pressed against her arms. She yelled and tried to struggle away, but Xuan Ye actually pulled her hard again and dragged her in. This
All the clothes were stuck to the body, and the gauze clothes were soaked in water and wrapped around the body transparently. The color was so bright that Xuan Ye felt hot in his heart.
On a midsummer night, the mandarin ducks were playing in the water, and they had a lot of love. Lan Qi felt that her bones were going soft. She couldn't remember the sadness of Huan Chun's departure. When she woke up the next day, she couldn't help but blush just thinking about what happened last night.
While talking to someone, Huanchun didn't help anyone else, and personally cleaned up the mess in the house. In private, Lan Qi took her and said, "It's you who makes me feel at ease. If others see me, I can't even lift my head."
Huan Chunzao was used to it, so he just coaxed his master to smile: "This is because Long Live Master loves you. Master is more proud. Why can't you hold your head high?"
Naturally, Lan Qi refused to comply. She could not talk about matters in the boudoir to outsiders. No wonder she was reluctant to leave Huan Chun. After resting for a long time, Lan Qi went to the Empress Dowager to serve lunch. She walked all the way under an umbrella, and suddenly there was something crispy on the way.
