Everything in front of me seemed familiar, and so did my cousin outside the royal tent in Mulan's paddock.
"My lord, please wait a moment, let me go in and report." Eunuch Liang was not willing to make this trip, but Lord Juechan was calm and composed. He could not refute the two words he said, so he had to bite the bullet and go in and say something.
Standing here, Rong Ruo actually hoped that Eunuch Liang would come back soon so that he could stay a little longer. Otherwise, once Eunuch Liang left, he would have no reason to stay while the noble Jue Chan was waiting. But the reality was just that. , Eunuch Liang could not come back so soon, he could only bow and salute, say "good luck to you, noble man", and leave.
Jue Chan turned a blind eye to his presence, as if she had just met an ordinary minister in front of the Qianqing Palace. Compared with the past, she was calm and calm now, as if a bonfire in Mulan Paddock had burned away the entanglement of their old love.
Rong Ruo walked past her, keeping a proper etiquette distance from each other. It was not even a passing by. They walked as if they were strangers. A cold wind blew, and a familiar fragrance penetrated Rong Ruo's nose. I don't know what it was. The air is too cold, or the owner of the fragrance is too cold. The scent that used to be warm and light is still the same now, but it can penetrate your heart, but it is so cold that your whole body is shaken.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the Qianqing Palace. He couldn't help but smile. He didn't know why he was laughing. There was a sense of relief and relief in his sad eyes, as if what he had been worried about finally had a good result.
"Your Majesty, please come back. Your Majesty has asked you to thank the Imperial Concubine for your kindness. Now she is taking the tonics prescribed by the Imperial Hospital. I dare not take anything else randomly. If the Imperial Concubine's medicine is good, please use it herself." .The emperor is busy these days, and will go to see the empress and the tenth prince in a few days."
Eunuch Liang's voice sounded behind her. Rong Ruo couldn't help but turn around and saw her cousin thanking her gracefully, turning around to leave with her fragrant cloak in her arms. But at the moment of turning around, the two of them looked at each other again. .
The cousin smiled generously, nodded to him, and was so polite as to meet a stranger, and then led the palace maid away calmly and calmly. With such a temperament and attitude, even Eunuch Liang, who was in trouble, did not show a look of disdain behind his back. Rong Ruo turned around and smiled lightly. After so many years, he could finally feel relieved.
Lord Jue Chan led the palace maid away gradually until they were quite a ways away from Qianqing Palace. The person who was walking normally suddenly felt weak at the knees. If he hadn't been holding on to the wall, he might have fallen down. Xiang He quickly stepped forward to help her and asked. What happened to her? She saw tears on the noble man's face from time to time, but she explained: "It looks like this when the wind blows. Just go back quickly and it will be fine."
"Master, are you okay? Can you still walk? Is your foot sprained?" Xianghe asked a series of questions, but the noble man just waved his hand and said it was okay. Xianghe asked again if he had not done the imperial concubine's errands well and was afraid that he would be raped when he returned. She scolded, and Jue Chan smiled bitterly, "She knew in her heart that this would not work. She just sent me here to hear what the emperor had to say."
Mrs. Juechan adjusted her mood, wiped the embarrassment on her face with a handkerchief, and walked back to Xianfu Palace. She met someone else on the road. The sedan chairs of Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi came from the front. She didn't know where they were going. With the palace maid standing on one side, waiting for two sedans to pass by, Concubine Yi raised the curtain halfway and glanced at her. She didn't know why she was unhappy, and her eyes were full of disgust.
Mrs. Juechan lowered her head and did not see her. She only waited for the sedan chair to leave before continuing back to Xianfu Palace and back to Concubine Wen. As expected, Concubine Wen did not blame the medicine for not being delivered. Just listening to her narration of the emperor's words, she leaned over and teased her with satisfaction.
He teased the tenth prince and said: "Huang Ama is not that stingy. How could he blame me just for a few little ones to agree to stay together? My son, my son, you are the most noble child under the crown prince. How can your fourth brother compare with you?"
For example, the son of an imperial concubine with an unfair reputation is still of lowly blood in his heart. You are the only one, and your tenant is the Niu Hulu family, the most noble family in Manchuria."
Mrs. Juechan stood quietly aside. After a while, Concubine Wen finally remembered her and sent her away in a good mood. But when she turned around, Concubine Wen said coldly: "You don't have to persuade me to do anything I do from now on. I just listen to you."
If I don't, I won't get anything. There are so many women in the palace and there are so many tricks. I will still do them all. If they can come through unscathed in the past, nothing will happen to me."
"My concubine knows." Mrs. Juechan didn't try to persuade her. She had already said all she needed to say.
As for Concubine Wen's thoughts, people outside can't guess. They only know that she is jumping up and down again. The recent events seem to be directed at Concubine De. At this moment, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are in the Nuan Pavilion of Changchun Palace.
Sitting, he had just come back from greeting the Queen Mother. Because he met Jue Chan on the way, Concubine Yi got off the sedan chair and sent someone to inquire. At this time, Taohong was reporting: "Mr. Jue Chan went to Qianqing Palace to deliver tonics to the emperor. He said it was
The emperor rejected Concubine Wen's suggestion, and I heard that she was quite polite, so she was not unhappy at all."
Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui looked at each other and let the pink go down. Concubine Hui added a few pieces of red charcoal to the hand stove and said leisurely: "She abused people like that last night, and the emperor didn't say anything. It's very strange. In the past, imperial concubines abused people.
Concubine, the emperor is still angry."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "People say that beating is a sign of kissing and scolding is a sign of love. Ignoring and being polite is a sign of severance."
Concubine Hui's brows trembled. She and her son were currently wandering on the edge of this situation. One day the emperor was unhappy and they would be kicked in. Now that she had one foot in it, she couldn't.
Then I brought my son in as well.
"What's wrong, sister?" Concubine Yi didn't know what Concubine Hui was thinking, so she sneered, "This Jue Chan family is so beautiful. She just glanced at her for a moment. Standing under the red brick wall, her skin was whiter than snow. She lowered her head slightly.
, the eyelashes close on the eyes like fans, it’s really beautiful.”
While she was talking, she turned around and took Concubine Hui's small mirror on the table to look at herself, and kept tutting her tongue: "After giving birth to Yinzhen, for some reason, little spots appeared under my eyes. I also asked the imperial doctor twice.
, I feel better after taking medicine and applying medicine, but I don’t know when it will fade away.”
But Concubine Hui didn't hear a word of these words. Concubine Yi had just accidentally touched her pain. At this moment, she was thinking about how to go forward. Seeing that she was still in a daze, Concubine Yi stretched out her hand and pushed her and asked: "
What happened to my sister?"
"I'm thinking that when Concubine Wen is causing trouble right now, we should be low-key and virtuous. We should never do anything that would displease Master Long Live. We should just follow him in everything. We are so different from Concubine Wen.
The emperor has taken a different view." Concubine Hui finally spoke and carefully warned Concubine Yi, "She is sending people to Qianqing Palace to deliver decoctions. Didn't you do this before? I don't know if anyone will learn from it in the future, but don't do it.
I'm in a hurry to show my courtesy, so let's just stay calm."
Concubine Yi said sarcastically: "That was not my intention before, it was my sister's idea." She sighed, "Don't worry, sister, I won't be that stupid. Concubine Wen is a fool enough in the palace."
There are many people in the palace who are sarcastic like Concubine Yi behind her back. Even Lan Qi despises Concubine Wen's behavior in her heart, but she doesn't say bad words. What makes Lan Qi angry and funny is that Li
Her father-in-law came all the way to convey the emperor's words, and he quoted the original sentence verbatim. She was very unconvinced by the sentence "just stay there", and Yinzuo happened to be in front of her. After hearing it, she learned it, so she kept saying it over and over again.
"Stay still".
In the afternoon, the fourth elder brother came over to play. When he heard Mr. Yinzuo yelling like this, he acted like an elder brother and scolded him. The little guy was stunned for a while after being scolded. Finally, he got anxious and ran to pester Lan Qi and cry, saying that he didn't want to talk to his elder brother.
When he was playing, he said that his elder brother bullied him, but the fourth elder brother stood aside and pouted, not even trying to defend himself.
The child couldn't help but cry. Yinzuo cried so much that his face was stained. Lanqi asked the wet nurse to take him to wash his face. She waved Yinzhen to him and asked with a smile: "My brother is so naughty, is it difficult for the fourth elder brother?"
The concubine will thank the fourth elder brother. An elder brother should discipline his younger brother. In the future, when he grows up and goes to the study room, if he is disobedient, the fourth elder brother will also teach him a lesson. Just think of it as doing a favor to the empress, okay?"
Yinzhen nodded, pursed his lips and thought for a long time before asking: "Empress De, does my brother know that I am also your child?"
Lan Qi was stunned, shook her head and said, "He is still young and doesn't understand what he said."
"I think so too." Yinzhen thought seriously, then looked at his mother and said, "When my brother becomes sensible, can I tell him?"
"Okay." Lan Qi agreed gently, wondering why she asked Yinzhen to tell her. She was afraid that her son would be disgusted if he asked, but Yinzhen took the initiative to explain. She didn't know where his thoughts came from, but he actually said, "
I want to tell my brother that since I am my mother’s son now, I cannot take care of Concubine De, but we are the same brothers, so if my brother wants to take good care of Concubine De for me, I will tell him.”
The childish voice spoke like an adult, but at the end she couldn't help but reveal a bit of childishness. Lan Qi's heart softened with these few words. Where did she get the good fortune to have such a good child? She was also grateful to the imperial concubine for letting Si'a
With such a mind, I smiled with emotion and couldn't help but hugged Brother Si gently: "Empress De is very happy."
The fourth elder brother seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still leaned on Lan Qi's shoulder. However, mother and son could only be gentle for a moment, and Yinzuo came to cause trouble. In the eyes of the sixth elder brother, E Niang belonged to him alone, and he came to make trouble to separate.
They were still generous. They touched their younger brother's head and said, "When my little sister grows up, you can't do this."
Speaking of children growing up, it really takes a blink of an eye. It seems like yesterday that the eighth prince was thrown out of Xianfu Palace by Concubine Wen. Now he is almost three years old and can run and jump. The seventh prince is also healthy.
Kangdi has grown stronger, but his legs, which were congenitally disabled, are of different lengths. Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs hired craftsmen to make special shoes. Although they are still not very flexible for movement, they are not too ugly.
On Laba day, the Sixth Palace gathered in Ningshou Palace to celebrate the festival. The elders sat and talked, the children played together, and there were three swaddled babies. It was very lively.
We were just talking at this moment, when we suddenly heard the cry of the child, and the queen mother's maids came and whispered a few words. Seeing that the queen mother's face was not very good, the concubines got up and wanted to go to the child. When they sat down, An Guiren suddenly said:
"Why don't you see Concubine Wen?"
Only then did everyone realize that Concubine Wen had just left the banquet and had not come back for a long time.
