"Your Majesty, please take the medicine while it's hot." Lan Qi calmed down and answered him. This happened today. She was first scolded by the Empress Dowager for no reason, and then she was snatched away by the Imperial Concubine. When she turned around, the palace still refused. Do you know how to tell her, what is her relationship with this matter, and why is it all on her? If Concubine Wen knew that she was serving in Qianqing Palace, she might think that she had instigated the Empress Dowager to investigate Xianfu Palace. , and we started to have grudges and feuds from then on, why should she not be human inside and out?
But Lan Qi had so many thoughts in her mind, and there was no calm expression on her face. Xuan Ye felt anxious when he saw it. A man can't change his childish temper at any age. He won't have it with outsiders, but he can. Let yourself trust, rely on and like people, and you will never grow up in your life. Now that Lan Qi was like this, he lost his temper first, pushed the medicine bowl away and said: "If I don't take medicine, what medicine should I take?"
I thought Lan Qi would persuade her and say a few more words, but Lan Qi only said yes, took the medicine down, and ordered the little eunuch outside to get it, saying that the emperor didn't want to take it now and asked them to be ready at any time. With.
"Come back, when did I say I won't take it?" Xuan Ye groaned angrily, and Lan Qi handed over the medicine bowl again. Just as Xuan Ye was about to reach out, he was asked, "Your Majesty, you have thought about it now, do you really want to take it? ?”
Xuan Ye was startled and glared at her angrily. He reached for the medicine and drank it down in one gulp. His brows were furrowed in pain. If Lan Qi had usually given her water to rinse her mouth and handed her candied fruit with sugar, today she didn't. He just sent the bowl out, and carefully asked the little eunuch to pay attention to the time when taking medicine, so as not to delay the emperor's recovery.
When she turned back again, the bitter taste in Xuan Ye's mouth had faded, but the smell of gunpowder in the room was strong. He didn't know what the two of them would quarrel about. Others Xuan Ye would not think about it, but the person in front of him would not. He had the guts to really fall out with the emperor, but he couldn't resist a few heart-wrenching words, and he would be speechless. But this time he was in the wrong, and it was still so embarrassing that he couldn't stand up in front of Lan Qi.
"What kind of medicine is this, so bitter?" Xuan Ye muttered casually and glanced at Lan Qi. She stood aside calmly and said nothing. When he saw the emperor looking at him, he asked, "Does the emperor want to ask about my concubine?"
Seeing her talking to him, Xuan Ye was a little happy and hurriedly continued: "This medicine is very bitter. Can you ask the people from the Taiyuan Hospital to make some flavors to add to it smoothly?"
Lan Qi said calmly: "Good medicine is bitter. The imperial doctor said that the medicine used this time is very bitter and clears the mind. It is necessary to suppress the strong virtual fire in the body. It is not painful but it will not work. Your Majesty, please bear with it." He then added, "Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager ordered the Emperor to refrain from public affairs for a month. The concubines cannot stay in Qianqing Palace to attend to illness as before, and they must return to Yonghe Palace after dark."
"Presumptuous!" Xuan Ye was angry at being secretly ridiculed like this, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the person in front of him kneeling down in response. He felt so distressed that he got up from the bed himself, came over to pull her barefoot, and then he got his hands. In front of others, a drop of tear fell on the back of his hand, which made Xuan Ye feel chilled.
Lan Qi hurriedly wiped away the tears that had escaped from her eyes and said quickly: "It's very cold. Your Majesty, please go back to bed."
Xuan Ye saw her tearful eyes and serious expression, feeling distressed and helpless, and actually said: "Don't be angry anymore. It was my fault. Don't be angry."
Lan Qi became nervous, and said angrily this time: "The emperor is acting nonsense again. How could you say something wrong to me? Where will these words put me?"
Xuan Ye smiled, and the dignified man actually smiled as if he was cheating: "You ignore me, I'm anxious, admit my mistake to my wife, what are you afraid of?"
Lan Qi couldn't care less about joking with him about her husband's wife when they were in Jiangnan. She stood up first and pushed him onto the bed with all her strength. She stood barefoot on the floor tiles and her feet were cold. She gave Xuan Ye a good hug with Tang Pozi.
He started to vent all the grievances in his stomach while raising his feet, just like a young couple in a common family where the husband did something wrong and was scolded by the wife. Xuan Ye felt at ease after listening to her nagging.
"The Emperor is still laughing?" Sure enough, Lan Qi looked up and saw Xuan Ye looking at her happily, and became even more angry, "I was scolded by the Empress Dowager for not knowing how to behave, and I was scolded by the Imperial Concubine for occupying you. I can't laugh."
Xuan Ye beckoned her to come closer. Lan Qi said he would talk in a month. He was now very weak and easily provoked. The imperial doctor said he must rest and recuperate. She didn't want to make a mistake. The two of them could only sit facing each other like this.
While talking, Xuan Ye didn't shy away from talking about Concubine Wen's affairs, but Xuan Ye sighed: "I should have discovered it myself, but I indulged myself in it. Sure enough, everyone is greedy, and so am I. Although the imperial grandmother was furious,
But I don’t blame her very much.”
Lan Qi said casually: "Isn't that right? The imperial concubine is pregnant with the emperor's heir, so how can you blame others?"
Xuan Ye was displeased: "Are you still angry?"
Lan Qi replied seriously: "I am not angry with the emperor. The emperor was in Yonghe Palace for several days in a row, and I never knew how to restrain myself. Things between men and women are normal. I am angry with the imperial concubine.
She has gone astray, not taking the Emperor's body seriously, and now the Emperor says she is not to blame, what do you want me to think?"
"I mean, I don't blame her because she is too pathetic." The smile in the emperor's eyes was sharp and deep, and Leng Youyou's words came out of his mouth, "In this way, I no longer have to worry about whether I should care for her, she has done it herself
On the way out, the Niu Hulu family don’t dare to make trouble anymore. Could it be that she drugged me and I will smile and comfort her in the future?”
But Lan Qi was stunned. The emperor's words were nothing more than sending Concubine Wen into the cold palace. She even heard him say: "Treat her with courtesy from now on. If she doesn't know the importance and seeks death, I can't stop her."
.”
I thought that the emperor really didn't blame Concubine Wen, but what she said was to strike at the place that mattered most to her. From then on, the concubine could never get anything she wanted, and she was abandoned by her man.
Lan Qi couldn't say it was because of her cold lips and teeth, but she felt really uncomfortable. She thought that Concubine Wen would be happy if she was punished, but the result was just the opposite. She didn't know that it touched a chord in her heart, and she couldn't let it go for a long time.
Fortunately, there is no longer any conflict with Xuan Ye. After taking good care of him for a few days, the remaining medicines in Xuan Ye's body were gradually eliminated, and the strong asthenia fire also became gentle. Because he had a cold, he had to rest for two or three days, although he was still recuperating.
, as soon as the government affairs started to be taken care of again, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has submitted the list of February draft. This time is no different from previous elections, the number of people is not large, and it has been agreed that the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother will select, Xuan Ye changes hands and sends it away
I went to Cining Palace and didn't ask anything about it.
But after all, there are new people entering the palace, and women will pay more or less attention to it. For example, if the concubines Tong entered the palace in the blink of an eye, they will become old people. For a while, there were many rumors in the palace about the upcoming newcomers, and the one that was talked about the most was, She is the biological sister of Queen Hesheli.
On that day, Concubine Hui went to Xianfu Palace to send a gift to congratulate Concubine Yi on her pregnancy. As expected, she was rejected like everyone else. She didn't care that it was just a show. After telling Dongyun, she went to Yikun Palace to see Concubine Yi. She was due to give birth in May, and her belly was already big. She had not prepared the gift from Xianfu Palace yet, so she said to Concubine Hui: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb her? I didn't want to give anything. The concubine doesn't care about it anyway." .”
"It's always a courtesy, I'm just coping with it." Concubine Hui sat down to drink tea, and Concubine Yi came over to ask her, "Sister, have you heard about it? In fact, Concubine Wen did something that caused her to be raped by the Emperor. The Queen Mother is locked up, but what do you think she can do to make Cining Palace so angry? I see that Concubine De is attending the Qianqing Palace these days. Is she jealous that the Emperor is in Xianfu Palace for months at a time, so she ran away? Are you going to instigate?"
Concubine Hui thought that Concubine De was not such a person, and she knew some of the reasons, but after all, it was a taboo in the palace, so she didn't want to talk about it. After a few perfunctory words, she changed the topic and talked about the newcomers who were about to enter the palace. She was at Mingzhu's place. After learning some news, she said something that surprised Concubine Yi, causing her to repeatedly ask Concubine Hui: "How is it possible? Is there a mistake from above?"
Concubine Yi's excitement was not a surprise. When the imperial edict was issued that day, when little Hesheli entered the palace, everyone in the palace was surprised. No one expected that Queen Hesheli's biological sister entered the palace again, and the emperor only He was given the status of a nobleman, and he was given a title with the word "ping" as a title that seemed to be caring. However, everyone thought that the person who would enter the palace with great grace is now just a nobleman, which is really incredible.
The Queen Mother arranged for Ping Guiren to live with Tong Bin in the East Side Hall of Chuxiu Palace. She said that they were both young and easy to get along with, and they were both girls from noble families. They had the same background and they could talk to each other. Tong Bin and Ping Guiren had indeed met several times before. But now that they meet again, there is a difference in status. Although there is only a step away between them, one has a certain position as the chief, and the other is just a nobleman who lives with others. The emperor can do whatever he wants. Well, even if there is a title, it is nothing more than that.
After the newlyweds entered the palace, they had to go to Cining Palace, Ningshou Palace and Chengqian Palace to salute and say hello. The Empress Dowager was too embarrassed to say goodbye, and the Imperial Concubine did not want people to gather in her Chengqian Palace, so she stayed with the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace. When she and the other concubines met the new couple, they only said stereotyped and respectable words. After everyone dispersed, the imperial concubine didn't even look at Ping Guiren, and she didn't take the identity of Queen Hesheli's biological sister seriously at all.
There are a lot of discussions among the concubines. The young ones have never seen Queen Hesheli. Lan Qi has seen her once or twice with the Bugui people from afar. She only remembers Queen Hesheli's grace and splendor. What exactly does she look like? Now she only looks at the portrait. Remember the shapes above, don’t count.
Only Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Duan saw each other the most. When everyone asked each other, they all said: "If the queen is a beauty, my sister can be regarded as a stunning beauty. Over the years, I have seen the beauty of Noble Jue Chan, but I didn't expect Noble Ping to be so young." She's so small, her eyebrows have already grown, so she can compare with her."
Ping Guiren is indeed beautiful. Although he is young, his figure and face are very good. In comparison, Tong Bin looks like a newcomer, and his temperament is also much worse. Even when talking in Chuxiu Palace, Tong Binke
You are so polite, but the noble lady Ke Ping always seems to have natural arrogance and nobility. Just after she came to live in Chuxiu Palace, the East Side Palace was tidied up by her. Tong Bin saw her standing in the yard, pointing at the eunuchs and maids, and said:
"Be quick and light with your hands and feet. How do you do things?"
At the imperial court, there was a lot of discussion about the fact that the girl chosen by the emperor to join the Hesheli family was only given the position of noble. The political opponents of Soetu all looked at it as a joke. After the court broke up that day, several ministers
He also deliberately went to congratulate his niece for becoming a noble person. Suo Etu was polite on the surface, but full of anger in his heart.
Mingzhu watched the commotion with cold eyes, but she saw a chilling look in Suo'etu's eyes. Just as she was lost in thought, Aling'a passed behind him and said with a smile: "It turns out that Suo'etu is nothing more than this."
"What do you mean?" Mingzhu asked knowingly. She saw that Aling'a's complexion was not good, and she knew that his sister was not happy in the palace now. Although she was pregnant, she was abandoned by the emperor as if she was in the cold palace.
Aling'a sneered, raised his brows, and explained the Zhu family's affairs, tut-tutting: "Ming Xiang's plan to change the teacher for the eldest brother last time seemed to have been rejected by the emperor. Could it be that the emperor doesn't care about the eldest brother's homework now?
