"Eunuch Liang, why don't you go in and take a look?" Lan Qi took the initiative to pass the responsibility to Eunuch Liang. He smiled bitterly and did not dare to ask Empress De Fei why she didn't go in first. She could only bite the bullet and turn around, but then
When he was about to step in through the door, there was a gust of wind inside, but when he saw Nalan Rongruo appearing in high spirits, he was also surprised when he saw Concubine De here.
"Good luck to Concubine De." Rong Ruo was respectful and polite, but the person in front of him had not come back to his senses. He raised his head slightly and saw Concubine De's eyes flickering, smiling awkwardly, "Master Nalan."
Rong Ruo stepped aside to let Empress De Fei go first. Lan Qi also moved a few steps, but couldn't help but stop again. She couldn't be involved in politics. Of course she couldn't interfere with what happened between the monarch and his ministers, but she was really worried.
Uneasy, I couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
Rong Ruo recalled the scene just now and said with a smile: "If you are asking about that, the emperor just accidentally touched the teacup on the ground."
Lan Qi saw that he was smiling and calm, so she believed that nothing happened, or that something had nothing to do with Nalan Rongruo. In short, this was the best, so she went straight in, and she saw that the porcelain pieces were broken on the floor, but
The emperor frowned and looked at the folds in front of him seriously and quietly. During the tour, all memorials and memorials were delivered once every three days. At first glance, seeing the folds piled high on the table, one would think that he was still in the palace.
.
"Your Majesty." Lan Qi immediately prayed to Fu's body. Xuan Ye only realized she was coming when he heard the sound. A string was still stretched on the government affairs, so he naturally asked, "What's the matter?"
Such a serious conversation left Lan Qi at a loss, but the emperor immediately came to his senses, put down the fold in his hand, stood up and asked gently: "Why are you here?"
Later, Eunuch Liang came in, and the emperor casually asked him to send someone to clean up the mess. He took Lan Qi's hand and sat down inside. He had never been alone in these days. He looked at her every day, not far or close, and knew that
I was relieved that she was fine.
Lan Qi said bluntly: "If the emperor is unhappy with anything at the moment, I will go back. I heard you throwing things and cursing people before I entered the door just now. I don't dare to interfere with the court's affairs."
"I accidentally touched the tea bowl on the table, and I didn't lose my temper because of Rong Ruo." Although Xuan Ye was indignant, he tried to be as gentle as possible when speaking to Lan Qi. Regardless of whether it was government affairs or not, he said in one breath, "I
I have repeatedly ordered not to disturb Baixin anywhere along the way, but some people still disobey, and I just found out that all of them are corrupt officials. If I don't punish them and alert the people behind me, how many people will suffer as I go south?"
However, Lan Qi was a woman and thought that it would be difficult for those officials to do so. Regardless of right or wrong, no one would want the emperor to see the people living and working in peace and contentment when he passed through his territory. Taking a step back, ensuring the safety of the emperor when traveling is the most important thing.
. But she knew that she could only think about these words by herself. If she said them out, Xuan Ye would be angry to death.
"What about you? Why are you here? It's not always so good. You want to come and see me?" Xuan Ye didn't want to talk to Lan Qi about these trivial court affairs, so he quickly changed the subject, looked at her with a smile, and put his hand on his face.
He lightly wiped it on his face and said distressedly, "It must have been a hard journey, your chin is sharp."
Only then did Lan Qi remember the purpose of her visit. She was so frightened by the emperor that she didn't care. She immediately reported: "The imperial concubine has been suffering from motion sickness and fatigue for days. Did the emperor pay attention? The empress could hardly stand when she was watching the spring at Baotu Spring.
"
Xuan Ye nodded: "I saw it, but her temper is such that if I ask her, it will only make her unhappy. Don't make her unhappy if you go out."
Lan Qi had a look of disgust on a man who was really careless, which made Xuan Ye glare: "What's that look? It's getting more and more unruly."
"Your Majesty is so inconsiderate. Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine can't stand it at all. I think if you just say hello, your Majesty will not continue to show off. Aren't you afraid that you will be unhappy?" Lan Qi said solemnly, "I think that if you say hello, your Majesty will not continue to show off."
I have discussed with Sister Rong that I should invite you to see the empress. I advise the empress not to climb Mount Tai and rest here for two days. After that, we can wait for the emperor to go down the mountain and then join us together. Maybe everything will be fine from now on.
Only by walking along the road can you enjoy your visit to the fullest.”
"Is this bad for her?" Xuan Ye felt slightly guilty, but he was indeed not very clear.
Lan Qi took Xuan Ye's hand and asked him to leave: "Your Majesty, please go and have a look. Please advise your Majesty not to climb mountains. If you go hiking like this, you will only get into trouble along the way. Of course, don't tell your Majesty so directly."
"
Xuan Ye scolded her: "I still need you to teach me?"
However, the emperor was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took Lan Qi and whispered for a while, asking her what she felt during the trip. He felt relieved to know that she was not feeling sick. After an hour, Lan Qi left.
Then he went to the imperial concubine's residence alone.
At that time, the imperial concubine was concentrating with her eyes closed. Even so, her face was still pale.
She covered her face, knowing that she looked haggard now, and she didn't want to be seen by the emperor.
"Are you still shy?" Xuan Ye smiled happily and said gently, "I neglected you and you are so sick?"
The imperial concubine was aggrieved and guilty. She lowered her head and her eyes were red. She sniffed and said, "It's not good for me. I rarely go out with you and end up like this. The doctor said it's because I don't have too many activities on weekdays. Think about it, I'm like this."
Quite lazy."
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "If you feel uncomfortable, stop and rest for two days. I happen to be going to climb Mount Tai. You can rest here. When I come down from the mountain, you can follow me. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. Don't say no, just say no.
It’s settled.”
The emperor ordered not to refute. The imperial concubine opened her mouth halfway and did not dare to say anything. She felt warm in her heart, but she thought that Concubine De and Concubine Rong had just come to persuade her. The emperor came right after her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous and sour.
He asked: "The emperor came suddenly, but did Concubine De go to invite you?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Which one is more important? The important thing is that you raise it quickly. The scenery behind will be more beautiful. Don't miss it again. Did you say it's rare to come out to play? I don't want you to work too hard. Maybe this
Once you recover and get used to it, it won't be so bad later."
The imperial concubine did not dare to ask any more questions, and Xuan Ye added: "If the journey continues like this, I can only send someone to take you back. Nothing is more important than your body. I want you to be happy before I take you with me."
come out."
After saying a few words, the imperial concubine's illness was mostly gone. After talking to the emperor for a while, she gradually fell asleep and fell into a peaceful sleep. When she woke up again, Qinglian said that the emperor and his party had already set off for Tai'an.
The wheels were rolling and the horse was running non-stop. Lan Qi was sitting in the bumpy carriage, and she and Yin Zuo were listening carefully to Si Age's words: "Mount Tai swallows Xihua, presses Nanheng, drives Zhongsong, and Yibeiheng, is the leader of the five mountains."
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, folklore said that after Pangu's death, his head was Dongyue, his left arm was Nanyue, his right arm was Beiyue, and his feet were Xiyue. Pangu's head turned to the east and turned into Dongyue, so Mount Tai was naturally the first of the five mountains."
"Fourth brother, what is Pangu?" Yinzuo was young and didn't know much about ancient legends. He only knew that he followed his great-grandmother to watch the theater and there was the Monkey King Erlang Shen. This was the first time he heard the word Pangu, and he pulled Lan Qi with a pout.
Acting coquettishly, "Mom, I don't understand."
Lan Qi's smile was as bright as a flower. She looked at Yinzhen with such gentle and kind eyes that her fourth brother was embarrassed. She reached out and patted her brother on the head and said, "You will understand when you grow up."
"Fourth brother, tell me, fourth brother, tell me." Yinzuo pestered his brother to continue listening, but Yinzhen only had a little ink in his stomach. Although he knew who Pangu was, he didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing her son's embarrassment, Lan Qi hugged the two brothers, one on the left and the other on the right, and slowly told the story of Pangu's creation of the world. Yinzhen listened with great piety and attentiveness, and seemed to secretly admire his mother-in-law for knowing so many things.
Over the years, from being able to understand only a few words about cattle, sheep, rice and noodles, to being able to silently write the entire sutra in one breath, Lan Qi has gained a lot of knowledge, but she doesn't have to take the top exam or study the principles of governing the world.
, Xuan Ye also liked him and always sent interesting and fresh books, so he knew a lot about miscellaneous things, which was more than enough to coax the children.
It's just that Yinzuo was still young after all, and he lost his patience after listening to Pangu. Yinzhen's face looked like he still wanted to hear Empress De Fei continue telling her story, and couldn't bear it because Yinzuo was naughty and couldn't sit still, so Lan Qi agreed to him: "There will be more on the road later.
It's a long way to go, and Empress De will tell you stories every day."
The fourth elder brother was very happy and could not help but feel a little shy, so he nodded in agreement.
When the emperor arrived in Tai'an, he worshiped the mountain gods at the foot of Mount Tai, and then organized the team to go up the mountain. The emperor had to walk up the mountain, accompanied by countless guards. In addition, the princes, princesses and concubines, who may be young or delicate, may not be able to hike up the mountain on their own. Arrangements were made along the way.
There were many sedan chairs and chariots.
Before going up the mountain, all the princes were in front of them. The eldest brother and the prince had grown up. The emperor asked them if they could climb the mountain by themselves. The two brothers confidently agreed. The third brother also wanted to climb by himself, but the eldest brother was concerned: "
You are still young, don't show off, and don't let Concubine Rong worry."
Xuan Ye was very pleased to see his brothers and sisters respecting each other. He asked the children if they knew about Mount Tai. The sixth elder brother jumped up and ran over, raising his hands and saying: "Huang Ama, there is Pangu, there is Pangu here."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed. The fourth elder brother quickly pulled his younger brother back. His frown looked very much like his father's. He was probably angry at his younger brother's embarrassing words.
In fact, Tongyanwuji, Sixth Prince is only interested in pleasing people. Even Lan Qi and Concubine Rong were very happy. Later, they heard the prince say: "I know that there are many pines and cypresses in Mount Tai.
It is majestic and majestic, with many beautiful streams and springs, and the misty and changing clouds and mists adding a bit of mystery and depth. There are also four wonders such as the sunrise on Mount Tai, the jade plate on the sea of clouds, the sunset, and the golden belt of the Yellow River."
The ministers praised the prince for his erudition. Although Xuan Ye was happy, he could not express it. He looked back at the mountains with a majestic air and said loudly: "There are eighteen steps to Mount Tai, with a total of more than 1,600 stone steps. Between Feilongyan and Xiangxiang."
In the low valley between the Fengling Mountains, the cliffs of the two mountains are sharp and the steep winding roads are embedded in them. From a distance, it looks like the Tianmen Ladder. Climbing is not easy, so you must be careful every step you take and don't be too aggressive."
Everyone agreed, and they were ready to go up the mountain. When Xuan Ye turned around again, he saw Lan Qi in the crowd. His eyes were full of concern and exhortation. Lan Qi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He responded with a calm smile,
