"But Aling'a is very good to me." Lan Ying suddenly blushed, with the shyness of a newlywed young woman, and whispered to her sister, "He helps me with everything at home, so those sisters-in-law can't do anything to me.
No matter what, I have someone to rely on. I also think that since I married the Niu Hulu family, I have to think about that family. Although my heart goes to my sister, as long as their family does not do anything detrimental to my sister,
I will also make good plans for their family."
Lan Qi smiled happily and said: "That's right, sister just wants to see you live well, nothing else is important. As for those women who are rude, just think that you are out of kindness to help them vent a few words, otherwise
It’s so pitiful that you’re so angry that you’re so angry.”
Lan Ying nodded, leaning against her sister and acting coquettishly: "But growing up, I have never heard such aggrieved words. Every time I hear it, my heart hurts. Sister, please rub it for me."
"They are all ladies and still act coquettishly. No wonder Wen Xian likes to cling to my aunt. You are all the same." Lan Qi caressed her sister and babbled again, "Don't worry about my sister's affairs in the palace. You are all doing well, and my sister is less.
Even if you are worried, you are helping me, right?"
"I know." Lan Ying responded, but remembering Concubine Wen's face just now, she felt a tightness in her chest. She said to her sister seriously, "Why does Concubine hate you so much? It's not your fault that the little princess is gone.
, there is no way she could be a child like this. I am really afraid that she will bully my sister in the future, so I thought about it on the way back. If she dares to bully my sister, I will not let her go."
"How capable are you?" Lan Qi laughed, asked her sister to sit down, and helped her steady the hairpin on her bun. She said calmly, "I was injured. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are in pain.
, there are also family members who only care about me wholeheartedly, but she is different, or they are all different. They bear the burden of the family and take care of everything. Very few people really feel sorry for them, more often after what happened.
, began to calculate what they had lost, and began to plan what to do next. Their sadness and grievances had nowhere to vent, so they could only turn into hatred."
"so?"
"But hate will only make them suffer. Have you seen Concubine Wen's painful look?" Lan Qi sighed softly, "For me, as long as I ignore all this, there will be no impact at all. It's torture.
They only have themselves. My sister is not here to teach you any big principles. If you don’t treat yourself well in life, how can you expect others to treat you well? Don’t torture yourself with other people’s faults, just like those sisters-in-law in your family. If you do the same
If you hate them in turn, won’t you be as miserable as them?”
Lan Ying said proudly: "I understand. Anyway, I just ignore them from now on and let them worry about it."
"You can't really ignore it, you can't have the intention of harming others, you can't have the intention of being on guard against others. They don't have to eat fast and chant the Buddha's name to have a kind heart." Lan Qi Yin Yin warned, obviously she herself can't deal with women with open guns and secret arrows, relying on the superiors
Care and care saved danger time and time again, and one day she was pushed to the forefront of the storm by herself. She didn't know how far she could go with them, but when it came to teaching her younger sister, she was very disciplined.
"A Ling'a is good to you, maybe because he respects the emperor's marriage and respects me, or because he really likes you, but the former cannot last long, and the latter can last a lifetime. Huan Chun said that men who have lost their wives love others more, so you just
Let him love you well. Even if you want to think about your sister, you have to win over your husband first, right? No man doesn’t like a woman who can take care of the family for herself, but this is only one layer. If you control the family but lose
If you don't show the gentleness and consideration a woman should have as a wife, Aling-ah will be afraid of you."
Lan Qi said, with a slight hesitation in her heart. After thinking for a while, she continued: "Queen Niu Hulu is now your sister-in-law. Do you know why she couldn't get along with the emperor in the first place?"
Lan Ying shook her head and muttered: "I heard a few words at home, but they were taboo about mentioning it and were reluctant to tell me."
"They may not really understand it. After all, they didn't see it with their own eyes in the palace." Lan Qi thought of Queen Niu Hulu. The queen's comfort before her death still made her sad. It was probably because of her that she always left a few favors for Concubine Wen.
Lan Qi felt even more pity for the queen because of the changes in the imperial concubine. At this moment, she said to her sister, "The queen is a truly capable woman. All the trivial matters in the Sixth Palace are under her hands. She must do everything carefully and be cautious in everything. Even the queen
The empress dowager often praised her. But she was so preoccupied with this that she never smiled or spoke to the emperor. She always acted reserved and dignified as a concubine, forgetting that she was someone else's wife and that she should be gentler and more delicate. Your Majesty.
It’s not that she hates her, it’s that she doesn’t know how to get close to her. After all, no one has stolen the emperor’s affection from her, it’s her who is pushing the emperor away step by step.”
"How pitiful." Lan Ying lamented.
"By the time the emperor wants to understand, and by the time she wakes up, it will be too late." Lan Qi sighed heavily, "It was only after I looked at her that I understood how to get along with the emperor, so you and Aling'a have to be careful.
Proper, even if you accomplish nothing and cannot support the family, as long as you are still a little sweet wife, he will always take care of you."
"Does the Emperor know that my sister is so smart? Does he like it?" Lan Ying suddenly joked, and was slapped on the head by her sister, laughing and scolding her, "It's not serious, please remember what I say."
At this time, Huan Chun came in and asked his master Yonghe Palace if he wanted to go to Xianfu Palace to express his opinion. Lan Qi asked her to watch what Jingyang Palace did and just learn from it. She also told her: "Let our people keep a low profile these days."
, don’t show off like a little princess outside, after all, the imperial concubine is very pitiful at the moment.”
Huan Chun accepted the order and left. Lan Ying asked her sister again: "Before leaving the palace, should I go to Xianfu Palace to say goodbye?"
Lan Qi said without hesitation: "Of course I want to go. After all, you are the daughter-in-law of the Niu Hulu family. Again, the noble concubine can be rude to you, but you can't be rude."
In the evening, Lan Ying was about to leave the palace. Before leaving, she came to Xianfu Palace to say goodbye as usual. On the way, she took off all the bright beaded hairpins from her bun as a sign of respect for the deceased princess.
Arriving in front of the Xianfu Palace, there were scattered concubines coming in and out. The faces of those who went in were all sad, but when they came out, they seemed to be relieved, with disdain and reluctance on their faces. Lan Ying looked at it for a while, and felt even more
Human beings are indifferent, at least in her own heart, she really sympathizes with the poor princess.
When Dongyun saw Lan Ying arriving, he came up to her and said, "Fu Jin is here again, but what do you have to say to me? Your Majesty's side... I'm sorry for my talk, but you'd better not see me."
Lan Ying said: "I am about to leave the palace and come to express my resignation. If it is inconvenient for me to meet you, Dongyun, please send me my greetings. I think I will go to the palace with my family to visit you in a few days. Don't worry now."
of."
Dongyun knew that the new lady was very observant of etiquette. She was indeed the sister of Empress Dowager De. She had the same good character and naturally spoke more politely and attentively. He watched her blessing her head in front of the door, so he personally sent her to the door and left.
The door said again: "I shouldn't talk too much, but I am by your side every day, and I know your temper best. I would like to ask Fujin not to show up too much for this matter. In fact, it doesn't matter if people come to the house or not. Everyone's thoughts are here.
But what's the point of listening to the empress's sarcastic remarks? She is also worried about it. Now the imperial doctor has prescribed medicine to calm the nerves and calm the qi. The empress can calm down for a few days. The most important thing is to take care of her health. She also bothers Fujin to go home and meet the master and the old lady.
Tell me, don’t go to the palace to express your condolences this time, and come back later.”
"I will discuss it with my family. Whether I can enter the palace or not depends on my family's wishes." Lan Ying said, turning around and about to leave. Suddenly she stopped and said to Dongyun, "Tell me, what will happen if the little princess is gone?"
If I can’t come back, if I don’t cheer up, I will have no future. I have to think about myself.”
Dongyun was a little surprised, but Lan Ying smiled: "That's out of proportion, right? Dongyun, you can do whatever you want."
The young lady turned and left with the palace maid. Dong Yun blankly forgot about her back for a moment, bowed and saluted, then turned to the door and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs in front of the door not to receive any more mourning guests, but to open the door of Xianfu Palace.
Off.
Dongyun walked into the imperial concubine's bedroom, just as the door outside was closed. The imperial concubine, who was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and concentrating, heard the movement and asked in a muffled voice: "Why is the door closed? The emperor ordered it?"
"That's what the slave said." Dongyun opened a window for ventilation and said, "It's getting late, and probably no one will come again."
"Who came just now?"
Dongyun hesitated slightly and responded: "It's Xin Fujin."
Concubine Wen suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Dongyun: "What is she doing here again?"
"Fu Jin is about to leave the palace. He came to express his resignation to the empress. The servant said that you are taking a rest and will not see any visitors. Fujin bowed outside and then left. He said that he would come to visit you with his family in a few days." Dongyun 1510
He said, thinking about Lan Ying's last words several times, and thinking that he might have to spend endless days with the imperial concubine in the future, he said with a heartbeat, "Fu Jin asked me to bring you a message."
Concubine Wen showed a look of disgust, turned away and hummed: "What can she say?"
"Fu Jin said that the princess is destined not to come back. If you don't cheer up, there will be no future for you. You should think about yourself." After Dongyun finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at the imperial concubine. His heart was pounding, waiting.
The person in front of him got angry and scolded, but surprisingly, the bedroom was quiet for a while, so quiet that Dongyun couldn't help but look up at the imperial concubine, and was surprised when she saw tears falling from the imperial concubine's cheeks.
"What identity do you think she is speaking to me now? Concubine De's sister, or a member of the Niu Hulu family, my sister-in-law?" Concubine Wen sneered, but her tears kept dripping, and she choked out one sentence for a long time,
"Dongyun, this is the first time in so many years that I hear my family telling me to think about myself. They always want me to think about my family. I feel numb."
"Empress..."
"The damn thing is, I don't want to see her family, why does she think she is my sister-in-law?" Concubine Wen said, covering her face and crying, which made Dongyun at a loss, but the master was crying now
, not making trouble or going crazy, just venting sadness, which is very different from the past.
