Here Huanchun and the wet nurse were about to carry the sixth elder brother into the car. The little guy kept struggling to find the fourth elder brother to sit with him. Lan Qi scolded him for being disobedient. The son actually pursed his lips and was about to cry, but at this moment Qinglian
He came and said, "The fourth elder brother wants to be with the sixth elder brother. The master has asked the slave to come and ask the queen if you agree."
"Eniang, Eniang, fourth brother is looking for me." This was what Yin Zuo heard the most. Lan Qi could only agree. Just as she was about to follow him to say hello to the imperial concubine, someone suddenly came hurriedly from behind, and everyone unexpectedly
I saw the noble Jue Chan dressed as he went out, with several palace maids behind him, and Dong Yun was also there.
They ran straight to the carriage of the Imperial Concubine. Later, Concubine Rong and the others found out that it was Concubine Wen who pushed Jue Chan out, saying that Jue Chan had been working very hard to take care of her and it was rare for her to travel far away.
I hope the emperor can take her with him. Since Concubine Hui suddenly stopped going, there must be some space on the carriage. It won't be troublesome to bring an extra nobleman.
That being said, having one more and one less would not be a problem in the first place, but what kind of person is Mr. Chan? It is more appropriate than anyone else for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River with such good looks.
Concubine Rong was standing next to Lan Qi, who had also not gotten into the car yet. She frowned and said softly: "What on earth is the imperial concubine thinking? I really can't see through her."
"Let's get in the car. It will be bad if we delay the auspicious departure. The emperor is probably anxious at the front." Lan Qi saw that Huan Chun came back and said that the sixth brother had settled down, so she wanted to get in the car, and Rong Rong
After Concubine Li sat down, she slightly lifted the curtain, just in time to see the noble Jue Chan standing under the imperial concubine's car. Her face was full of helplessness, thinking about who would want to be so embarrassed.
But after the delay in the back, the front came to rush her. Lan Qi saw Nalan Rongruo bringing someone over. She suddenly panicked and let go and put down the curtain. But it was funny in her heart. What was she panicking about?
Nalan Rongruo came to ask all the empresses if they could start driving. Who knew that he would meet his cousin at the imperial concubine's place, but the two of them didn't have time to look at each other. The imperial concubine saw that the emperor had come to urge her, and there were many irrelevant people everywhere.
He didn't want to embarrass Jue Chan for a moment and make himself look domineering and stingy, so he hurriedly ordered Nalan Rongruo: "Is Concubine Hui's bicycle frame ready? Use it and send Jue Chan over there.
Then we can change cars on the way, and let her use Concubine Hui’s car first.”
The imperial concubine gave the order and ignored it. Rong Ruo got the order inexplicably. Seeing that the empress and nobles at the back were all settled, and the large army was about to set off at the right time, Rong Ruo didn't care about anything and hurriedly asked someone to do it.
He brought the frame over and led his cousin all the way to the back. After seeing her sitting down safely, he asked her all the way if she was okay. Without any time to think about it, he ran to the front to tell her that it was okay to leave.
Although he was busy and confused, fortunately, no time was wasted. The emperor and his party set off smoothly, and the mighty team headed south from the imperial city.
Mrs. Juechan got up early in the morning and was forced by Concubine Wen to accompany her. Fortunately, despite her illness, she still had the energy to instruct her subordinates to get some good things for her. Many of them were taken directly from Concubine Wen's house, and then she forced Dongyun to lead her after her.
She even said that she would avoid the other concubines and go to Cining Palace to say goodbye and wait for the time for the team to set off to have a better chance. Sure enough, after such a fuss, she actually went out.
Xianghe was even more excited than his master. They temporarily took Huifei's carriage. Although they would change it when they went to Yongqing County later, this magnificent carriage was enough to make the little girl happy. She kept muttering: "Master, if you are positive
Some take the initiative, the emperor once liked you so much, we would have been able to ride in such a carriage long ago."
"My background is not as good as yours, so don't expect me to take you on a carriage like this." Jue Chan smiled bitterly. What happened today was caught off guard. Fortunately, I stumbled to this point. No matter what Concubine Wen did,
I thought, no matter why she had to push herself out, she would not do anything to seduce the emperor. With so many concubines following her, she could just hide far away from others. Jiangnan has always been the place she yearned for, really
It's really not a bad thing to go for a walk.
The team went all the way and stopped at Yongqing County for a rest. They just settled in for a while before setting off. The emperor had countless ministers and guards. They would not call the concubines over or come to see them themselves. Huge
The procession was like a moving palace, with the front palace and the harem clearly separated. The imperial concubine had the final say on the affairs of the women here. However, the imperial concubine actually got carsick, and she felt uncomfortable after walking such a long distance.
In this way, Lan Qi had to come over to take the fourth and sixth elder brothers back. She looked at the imperial concubine and she was really pale and haggard. If she had been in this condition all the way, she would really have suffered if she followed her out. Lan Qi didn't dare to say more.
Saying something, he led his sons back to his place. From a distance, he saw the carriages being changed at the back of the team, and Nalan Rongruo's figure came into view again.
"Huan Chun, take a good look at your two elder brothers. I'll go over and take a look." Lan Qi handed her son over to Huan Chun, took the green pearl Xiang Yue and went back. Here, noble Jue Chan was standing aside waiting for the guards to change things.
, after all, Concubine Hui's carriage was not something that a little noble like her could sit on, so she was in a hurry to set off just now so she didn't pay attention to it. But it was difficult to switch from luxury to frugality. Xianghe couldn't help muttering, "This carriage is really small, and I can only follow it with a servant."
It’s too crowded.”
When he said this, he happened to see Concubine De coming over. Everyone bowed and saluted. Nalan Rongruo stepped forward and asked: "Is there anything wrong with Concubine De? Before the emperor ordered me to go to Jinan Mansion, ladies and gentlemen,
I will be responsible for everything. There will be other adults to supervise me on the road after Jinan Mansion. Now if the empress needs anything, you can call me at any time."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Nalan. I heard that you have only been back to Beijing for a few days and you have to travel again." Lan Qi said generously, "I have nothing to do, but noble Jue Chan suddenly came here and wanted to ask her if she was there.
If you haven't prepared anything yet, Master Nalan can take care of it yourself."
Rong Ruo said yes. When he saw that the carriages had been exchanged here, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He bowed and left. But before he could walk far, he couldn't help but look back and saw his cousin talking to De Fei Fu Shen. Both of them were talking.
Only then did he feel at ease. God knows how he felt when he suddenly saw his cousin when he arrived in front of the imperial concubine. He was still scared at this moment. What should he do if he watched the imperial concubine bully her and embarrass her?
"You are in a hurry. If there is anything missing, please ask Xianghe to get it from me." Lan Qi was very gentle. She didn't understand why she came to meddle in other people's business. Since she wanted to do this,
Just do it cheerfully first, and then we will investigate the reason in detail. Now he mentioned it more, "The Imperial Concubine is motion sick. You should be more careful. The imperial doctor is with you. If you have any questions, just ask them."
After all, what she said was just some kind words, but Lan Qi felt that she felt better after saying it. After she left, Xianghe helped her master get back into the car and said, "Look, what did the slave say last time?
Concubine De just wants to get close to you, you see there are so many concubines in front of you, only Concubine De comes to ask you what's wrong."
"Empress De Fei is so polite. We can't just use it as a blessing. She suddenly ran out and everyone looked at us sideways. I think she didn't want others to embarrass us by being so polite. The most important thing is to be nice and friendly when we go out."
She is very smart, knows her own situation, and knows how others hate her. Now that she is out, she just wants to go away happily without thinking about anything else.
But when the motorcade moved forward again, the wheels were rolling, and she inadvertently raised the curtain and saw Rong Ruo riding by outside, ripples still arose in her heart. Now she is more and more able to face Rong Ruo calmly, but under this calmness
Only he understands how much heartbreaking pain he feels. What he thinks about most at this moment seems to be just worrying about his hard work of running around day and night.
In the next few days, the team passed through Hejian, Xianxian, Fucheng, Dezhou, Pingyuan, and Yucheng, and arrived at Jinan Prefecture on the eighth day of October. The emperor, together with his ministers and concubines, visited Baotu Spring to inquire about local diseases and folk customs.
Local customs, visiting the spring, inscribed with the word "Ji Turbulence".
It was also planned to go to Tai'an Prefecture to climb Mount Tai on October 10th, but the imperial concubine had been dizzy every day for the past ten days. She wanted to rest in Jinan Mansion for two more days, but now that she had to leave again, it was really too much. But it was difficult to accompany the emperor.
During the tour, she didn't dare to say anything for fear of making people laugh, so she kept supporting her. When visiting Baotu Spring, Lan Qi saw her holding on to Qinglian with a pale face, and felt very worried.
They discussed with Concubine Rong and felt that it was not good for the Concubine to continue like this. When they returned, they came to Concubine Huang and advised her not to go up the mountain with the emperor in the future, but to rest here for two days and wait for the Emperor to come down the mountain before moving forward together.
The imperial concubine's face was full of dissatisfaction, but she was too weak. Even thinking about it, she knew that she couldn't go up the mountain. She was unwilling to accept that Concubine De and Concubine Rong could accompany him to climb the mountain, but she couldn't accompany the emperor to see the mountains. She didn't say a word at this moment.
His eyes were red with grievance.
"It won't be so hard for your Majesty when you walk by water in the future, but if you don't take a good rest now, it will be hard to be energetic later. The journey to the south is still long." Concubine Rong persuaded her gently, even though she was ready to be beaten.
The imperial concubine was competing for the beauty spot, but seeing how haggard she was, I just felt heartbroken.
Although the imperial concubine did not agree, she did not blame them for being meddlesome. Lan Qi and Concubine Rong returned without success. Concubine Rong said softly: "I'm afraid the emperor is the only one who can persuade her, so we can't let her hold on any longer."
Lan Qi smiled and asked: "Sister, do you want me to invite the emperor?"
Concubine Rong pushed her and said with a smile: "Who among us can speak best in front of the emperor? Stop being pretentious in front of me and go and invite the emperor to persuade the imperial concubine. This will be unlucky if something happens on the road.
Well. My life is not to go out for sightseeing, and matters big and small are not as quiet as in the palace. You can help me at least."
All joking aside, serious matters cannot be delayed. Lan Qi came directly to the emperor. She will leave for Tai'an tomorrow. The imperial concubine's body cannot afford any more stress.
The emperor was talking to Nalan Rongruo when he came. He would not care about the rest of the journey and would stay with the emperor all the time. In Lan Qi's opinion, this arrangement was indeed the best with the noble Jue Chan around.
But when she arrived at the door, Eunuch Liang asked her to wait a moment to let him go in to report. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a tea bowl breaking inside. The emperor got angry and yelled "bastard", which frightened both Lan Qi and Eunuch Liang.
