"The Empress Dowager is bullying people again." Lan Qi thought it was just a joke, and added, "The Emperor really wants to tour the south, and I have to stay in the palace to serve you. There are many people accompanying you, but I am indispensable in Cining Palace.
concubine."
"Who cares that you are here? At such a young age, you don't go out with the emperor to broaden your horizons. What are you doing at home with an old woman like me?" But the Empress Dowager was serious, "Xuan Ye is the only one who has mentioned the matter of the Southern Tour to me.
Mention, don’t tell others that you will definitely go there next year. Then you can go with me, and naturally you won’t be the only one, but don’t stay either.”
Lan Qi has always been thinking about Xuan Ye's promise to take her all over the country, but now that she is here, she can't let go of the old Empress Dowager, let alone the newborn.
She had not fully recovered from an illness, so she had no intention of telling her to leave this place and go out.
"I take good care of you, so you can rest assured. Don't you think about it, if I am really sick, will the emperor travel far away? When Xuan Ye goes out, I must be healthy. In this case, I want you to be by my side.
What are you doing?" The Empress Dowager wanted Lan Qi to accompany her, and she even sighed, "It's my fault that my health is not as good as before, otherwise I would go with you."
"I listen to you. Now I will take good care of you and take good care of your body. When the time comes, you can go out and play in peace." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was going to be unhappy, Lan Qi didn't dare to insist anymore. She agreed and then saw the old man showing his face.
He was very happy, and then talked about some interesting things. First, the emperor sent various royal dishes, and then the prince came to visit his great-grandmother on behalf of the emperor. The great-grandmother and the queen mother talked to him for a long time before they left.
As the night progressed, Lan Qi waited on the Empress Dowager to put her to bed before exiting the Cining Palace. When she went out, there was a slight snowfall in the sky. She had come for a walk, so Aunt Sumala asked Concubine De to be delivered to her in a sedan chair from the Cining Palace.
When the empress went back, Lan Qi did not refuse. After all, she had just given birth not long ago. She took the warm sedan back and was hugging her cloak warmly, holding the stove, closing her eyes and relaxing, when the sedan suddenly stopped.
Ziyu's words came in: "Master, it seems that the banquet has broken up. Concubine Wen's sedan chair is coming from the front. We must give way."
"Get off the sedan, let me get off." Lan Qi said the courtesy. After all, the imperial concubine is more noble than her, and there is nothing wrong with being thoughtful and polite. However, after counting the days, we haven't seen each other for two months, and I don't know what happened on the night the imperial concubine gave birth.
Whether she had let go of the misunderstanding and resentment in her heart, after getting off the sedan chair and watching Concubine Wen's warm sedan chair slowly approaching, Lan Qi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Concubine Wen and her party were followed by another sedan, which should be Noble Jue Chan. Logically, she should have gotten off the sedan to see Concubine De, but instead she followed Concubine Wen's sedan and walked straight past. On the contrary, when the sedan passed by, Noble Jue Chan picked her.
He raised the curtain and bowed to Concubine De as a gesture. Lan Qi also smiled slightly and waited until they were far away before turning around and getting on the sedan.
Ziyu opened the curtain and waited for the master to sit back, muttering: "Master is polite, so why does the noble concubine do not need to get off the sedan chair? The imperial concubine must have done it on purpose. She just passed by without saying hello. I would have known you."
There’s no need to come down and get cold.”
Lan Qi said with a smile: "If you go back and let Huan Chun hear what you said, she will beat you. What other people do has nothing to do with me. Everyone in Yonghe Palace must behave politely, so that no one will find fault. You
Don’t you think it’s your fault to find noble Zen now? If it were us, people would say the same thing about us.”
Ziyu thought it made sense, smiled and said she understood, begging the master not to mention it in front of Huanchun, and asked the sedan to leave quickly. But when they arrived in front of the door, they saw that the imperial driver had stopped outside Yonghe Palace, and Lan Qi also ate it.
Startled, I hurried in and heard Yin Zuo laughing loudly and calling for help, as if he was begging his father for mercy again.
"Playing and laughing like this will make me wet the bed again at night." Lan Qi came in and saw the father and son rolling together on the kang. She couldn't help but become serious and scolded her son, who was sweating from playing, out of Xuan Ye's arms and put it on his buttocks.
The emperor slapped him in the face and reprimanded him, "Who peed their pants last night?" He raised his head and complained to Xuan Ye, "The emperor smells of alcohol and doesn't have a good rest."
Xuan Ye was in a good mood. He hugged his son and asked, "Eniang is so fierce. Are you afraid of Yinzuo?"
Yinzuo nodded pitifully and said, "Eniang is cruel to me every day, Emperor Ama, Yinzuo is so pitiful."
But before the little guy could act coquettishly again, Lan Qi asked the wet nurse to take him away. Xuan Ye was washed and changed like a child by Lan Qi. He drank a lot tonight, but fortunately he was not drunk, he was just lazy.
I was so lazy and drunk that I finally calmed down after drinking a bowl of hangover soup. I heard Lan Qi muttering: "The Emperor doesn't even say a word when he comes to Yonghe Palace. He always makes people busy. And today is a good day. You should be thinking about the Imperial Concubine."
.”
Xuan Ye asked with a smile: "You are so generous, and you are not afraid that I will think you are hypocritical. Is there anyone in this palace who is not looking forward to my coming?"
Lan Qi wiped off the soup from the corner of Xuan Ye's mouth with a handkerchief and smiled confidently: "I am not hypocritical, but greedy. I think that when the imperial concubine is at ease, I can stick to you. It's not that I don't cherish what I see in front of you."
Yes, I want to think more and longer."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by Xuan Ye. Lan Qi struggled a few times to escape. Her face was already red, but she tried to calm down and said: "I'm afraid there will be more trouble in Yinzuo for a while. If I don't go to the wet nurse, I'll fool you."
If you don't control him, the emperor won't tell his concubines to take care of his son. If he is so excited, he will definitely cause trouble again tonight."
She turned around and was about to leave, but Xuan Ye suddenly sat up and hooked her around the waist, dragging her onto the bed. The people waiting outside poked their heads in and saw for a moment, and immediately dispersed knowingly, hearing the door of the palace being closed.
When there was a movement, Lan Qi slapped Xuan Ye's hand holding her body and said, "The emperor is fooling around, I'm going to be laughed at again."
"Who dares to laugh at you?" Xuan Ye directly pressed her down on the bed. He was drunk, his blood was rushing all over his body, and he breathed out warmly, "It's been another year, and you don't miss me at all?"
At the age of thirty, like a wolf and a tiger, how could Xuan Ye allow the fragrant and soft people around him to escape from his arms? As he spoke, his big hands had untied Lan Qi's clothes, and the person under him smiled even more narrowly: "My lord,
I do, but the Emperor is surrounded by people, so he doesn’t necessarily want to be my concubine."
Lan Qi was immediately pinched at the waist. She was most ticklish. She struggled but almost begged for mercy like her son just now. When Xuan Ye let her go, many of her clothes had been torn off, and her shoulders were exposed. Xuan Ye kissed her gently.
Touching every inch of her skin, Lan Qi felt her body gradually getting hot, but when she was about to reach her peak state, the person on her body suddenly took off their armor and stopped.
"Go to sleep, go to bed." Xuan Ye was obviously unwilling and said this as if he was losing his temper. He wrapped himself in a quilt and lay down beside him. Before Lan Qi could calm down, she turned her head and looked at Xuan Ye inexplicably.
, poked him lightly with her slender fingers, but he impatiently grabbed him and held him down, saying angrily: "I shouldn't have come, I'm asking for trouble."
Lan Qi was a little panicked, and even a little angry. She said without thinking much: "The emperor said this without thinking. Did I do anything wrong? Why are you asking for trouble by talking about it?"
The atmosphere between the two seemed like they were about to quarrel, but Xuan Ye said: "I miss you so much, but I can't get close to you. I'm going on a southern tour next year. What if you have another baby? Last time I went there
Mount Wutai is very dangerous. Fortunately, Buddha protects you. Which Bodhisattva can you ask for to protect you next time?"
Lan Qi stared at him blankly, feeling as sweet and greasy as a big jar of honey. She bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth. Not only did her body not feel cold, but it became more and more scalding, and she immediately turned over violently.
He threw himself on Xuan Ye, breathed like orchid, pecked his mouth gently, and whispered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't happen."
Xuan Ye actually showed a bit of childishness and asked worriedly: "What if?" But suddenly Lan Qi rubbed against him, and his whole body was already hot. How could he withstand her teasing like this, and she vowed that she would never do it?
If something unexpected happened, he immediately ignored it, sat up and raised his hand, pulling down the curtain to cover up the spring light overflowing inside.
**The lingering night, the two of them actually felt more like a little separation than a wedding. They had been together all the time, but not being able to get close really made the emperor very lonely. ** had endless romance and charm, and when they got up the next morning
, Lan Qi felt that her waist and knees were sore and weak, but she did not dare to speak out in front of others. However, Xuan Ye had the spirit of a dragon and a tiger, and coaxed her with a smile and said: "I won't bully you anymore, let's be good, I want you when the time comes.
I will accompany you on a trip to the south and show you the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."
Lan Qi didn't mention that the Empress Dowager had already told her, but Xuan Ye came to tell her in person. Apparently, the grandparents and grandson had decided that she would accompany them. Lan Qi was also very moved, thinking that as long as the Empress Dowager was healthy, she would really
Wanting to go out for a walk, Xuan Ye also promised her that he would also take Yinzuo with him, so that their son would know how vast the country is from an early age and not be trapped in the Forbidden City sitting in a well and watching the sky.
Naturally, this was their tacit understanding. They were not allowed to tell outsiders before leaving. After sending Xuan Ye off to court, Lan Qi sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair. Her son also got up early and came to pester his mother early, saying proudly that he had done it yesterday.
I didn't wet my pants at night, and coquettishly said I wanted to go to Ningshou Palace to see my little sister.
"Let's go after breakfast. If you don't want to have a good meal, we won't go." Although she coaxed her son like this, she actually wanted to see her daughter herself. She occasionally went over to have a look these days. Her daughter is really exquisite and cute.
, she silently felt sad in her heart every time why she couldn't take her with her. It was different after all, not being under the same roof, but seeing the Queen Mother loving the little princess so much, she felt a little relieved.
After having breakfast, she gained strength. Mother and son changed their clothes and went to Ningshou Palace. In the morning, concubines would always come to say hello. Lan Qi didn't take a closer look at where the sedans parked outside came from. When she entered the door, she saw Wen Qi.
The imperial concubine sat next to the Queen Mother. She held her tenth prince in her arms, and the Queen Mother held the little princess in her arms.
Lan Qi bowed politely, and the Queen Mother asked her to hug her daughter. Just as she reached out to take the child from the Queen Mother's arms, Concubine Wen beside her said: "Concubine De served the Emperor last night. I'm afraid it was too hard. This time
