When the Queen Mother heard what the Imperial Concubine said, she was not pleased. Instead, she reminded: "Just say it in front of me. In front of others, you have to know what to say and what not to say. You have to have your own dignity and dignity."
Noble, don't let others see through your mind. I know that you must have some explanation for the Ulanara family. How to speak, weigh it yourself, don't lose the dignity of the royal family. There are many good girls in the world, not them.
My daughter will not marry."
"Concubine, please remember." The imperial concubine rarely shows such admiration. Lan Qi looks on, knowing that she is doing it for the fourth elder brother. As the Empress Dowager said, the imperial concubine has always treated the fourth elder brother with the utmost care.
After all her efforts, her own faults and shortcomings were hard to change, but she did not allow her fourth elder brother to be exposed to them. Whenever she thought of this, Lan Qi never regretted her original decision. Maybe the imperial concubine would never know that her fourth elder brother would inherit her.
It is her wish to have sex with the palace, maybe this is better.
The two of them exited the dormitory together, and happened to see Yuxi and Wen Xian hand in hand following Grandma Sumala from the kitchen. Yuxi was older than Wen Xian after all, leading her sister like a big sister, holding the little princess in her hands.
While grabbing the pastry to eat, she would reach out to wipe off the crumbs from the pastry that rubbed on Wen Xian's face from time to time.
When Wen Xian saw them, he hurriedly ran over and raised the cakes in his hands high: "Amma has given me a lot of delicious food. Let's eat together."
The imperial concubine smiled and said a few words to her. Seeing Yuxi standing obediently behind her, she was still very fond of her. She also remembered that the empress dowager came to have a meal with her. The children might be surprised to leave now.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Lan Qi said, "Your Majesty, please talk to the children for a while, while I prepare dinner for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."
The imperial concubine didn't say anything, and Lan Qi walked away. Seeing how familiar she was in Cining Palace, and how the maids and eunuchs in Cining Palace obeyed Concubine De, she looked around at everything in the palace, with mixed feelings in her heart.
.
She has not forgotten her past evil deeds. She still remembers what she said to Wu Yalanqi a long time ago. Every time she thinks about it, a cold feeling runs down her spine. She dare not face her former self, but she can't show her past self.
I can’t erase it, and even every time I see Concubine De, I wonder, does she still remember those words?
The ladies enjoyed the dinner together. After the meal, Lan Qi had to wait for the Empress Dowager to sleep. The imperial concubine did not have to do these things, so she took Yu Xi and Wen Xian back to Cheng Qian Palace first. When Lan Qi came back, she happened to be in the palace.
On the road, they met the imperial concubine and her entourage. She had just sent Wen Xian back to Ningshou Palace. When she saw Lan Qi, she said coldly: "You have been staying in Cining Palace all day, don't you miss the little princess? I just heard from you
Every time I passed by the door, I heard the cry of children."
Lan Qi had a sense of proportion in her heart and responded calmly: "Wet nurses are well-trained and can take care of children better than I. I am very relieved."
The imperial concubine raised her brows and walked up slowly, waving the fan in her hand: "After all, we can't live without you in Cining Palace, right?"
"I don't dare." Lan Qi responded, but she was muttering in her heart, what happened to the imperial concubine?
As the two approached, Lan Qi lowered her head slightly, feeling that the imperial concubine was looking at her. In the summer, lighting lanterns easily attracts mosquitoes. On the road, little eunuchs hold lanterns to guide the way from afar, guided by the moonlight and lanterns.
Moving forward, the Imperial Concubine could only see her by the hazy moonlight. Lan Qi lowered her head and could vaguely see the embroidery on the Imperial Concubine's skirt. Presumably the Imperial Concubine could also clearly see her face and expression at this moment.
The imperial concubine stood still, shook the fan in her hand, and said slowly: "How is the Queen Mother's health? There are often rumors in the palace recently that the Queen Mother is not well. You are by my side every day, so you should know best.
.”
"As the empress can see, the Empress Dowager is very good." Lan Qi responded, "The Empress Dowager is already old, so naturally she cannot compare with young people. She may have headaches, fever, backache, etc. It is also a matter of age. In the palace,
People make too much fuss."
"Do you still remember what I said to you before?" The imperial concubine suddenly said this without any clue. Lan Qi couldn't help but raise her face to look at her. The imperial concubine had said a lot, how did she know where it was?
One sentence?
The imperial concubine frowned slightly, coughed dryly and said, "I used to be young, short-sighted, and even a little narrow-minded. I feel ashamed of what I said when I think about it, but you have always been praised for your tolerance and generosity. I hope you won't remember it in your heart.
"
When Lan Qi heard this, she was suddenly startled. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the moonlight in the sky. The moon should be rising in the east today. It was really unusual for the imperial concubine to speak words of self-reflection and enlightenment to others.
"You have to take good care of the Empress Dowager. Only when the Empress Dowager is here can she care for you and our fourth elder brother. You are the fourth elder brother's biological mother after all. You have to think about him. In the blink of an eye, the sixth elder brother has been gone for almost a year. You still don't know it.
Whether you can have another son in this life, Yinzhen will be your only support in the future, so from now on, everything you do must be based on him." The imperial concubine's words were obviously prepared.
, he spoke neither hastily nor slowly, and was much more convincing than the previous blustering and impatient manner.
"I have written down your words." Lan Qi knew that no matter how she felt about the imperial concubine's actions in her heart, she must agree with her mouth, otherwise the conversation this month would be endless.
"Remember, you don't just talk about it, you have to do it with your heart." The imperial concubine smiled slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Lan Qi's reaction. She shook her fan and looked at the stars in the sky, sighing faintly, "Tomorrow will definitely be sunny again, so this
When will the hot weather be over?"
After the two parties dispersed, Lan Qi thought about the purpose of what the imperial concubine said tonight. After bathing and changing clothes, she came to visit her sleeping little daughter. Her little girl was not as beautiful as her two elder sisters when she was born, but her innocent face was very endearing.
Like it, looking at the child always makes her forget her worries. When she walked into her house, she looked up and saw the place where Yin Zuo lived before, and her heart twitched. A year had passed, but why did she feel that Yin Zuo was still here yesterday?
Acting like a spoiled child in your own arms?
Huan Chun saw his master's face was not good, and knew that the situation would inevitably touch her heart again, so he thought of something else to say to distract her attention. When he mentioned what happened to the imperial concubine just now, Lan Qi changed her mind and said to her: "You
What's wrong with the empress? Why did she come to me and say this to me? Could it be that the Empress Dowager's words today made her realize something?"
While listening to Huan Chun's strange words, Lan Qi thought about the words of the imperial concubine over and over again. Suddenly she was inspired and compared to her, she said that she should take good care of the empress dowager so that the old man could live a long life. She suddenly remembered the arrogant little concubine Tong in the past.
She once told herself that the Empress Dowager would drive to Hexi someday, and it would be up to her to see who else could support her, and to see why she, Wu Yalanqi, would be so proud in this palace.
Those words make it clear that Concubine Tong once only hoped that the Queen Mother would die soon.
When she mentioned it at this moment, Huan Chun sighed: "Each year, the Imperial Concubine has simply changed into a different person."
"Yes, looking back at the old scores, she tortured me a lot. Now no one in the palace dares to torture me like this. She made me stand barefoot in the cold. Sister Duanbi also lost her temper to a certain extent because of that incident.
I had a child, and I still hate her." Lan Qi smiled bitterly, and sat in front of the mirror to look at her face. Although she was still young, she could not compare to what she looked like as a little girl ten years ago. Time will leave its mark, and it will also take away its traces.
What, I couldn't help but sigh, "If the imperial concubine can really abandon everything in the past, it will be a blessing to the fourth elder brother. There is nothing wrong with what she said. I want to think carefully about Yinzhen. Yinzao is gone, and I am indebted to Yinzhen."
Zhen, you should pay more attention to him."
"Your Majesty, please don't say anything that you owe Fourth Brother. I feel that Fourth Brother is very calm and calm when facing you and the Imperial Concubine. He knows how to face his biological mother and adoptive mother." Huanchun comforted her and said, "You and the Imperial Concubine are both parties involved.
, may not be able to understand clearly, the slaves are watching from the sidelines, Brother Si is really a very considerate child."
"Really?" Lan Qi finally showed a smile, and gradually began to turn her sadness for Yinzuo into her longing for Yinzhen's future, but she still said reluctantly, "I really want to give him another younger brother, a sibling from the same mother.
The brothers are always different. In the future, they will become the emperor's right and left-hand men and will have to face more things."
That night, Lan Qi slept fairly well, but in the middle of the night she seemed to hear someone talking outside. Because she was too tired after working in Cining Palace for a whole day, she turned over and fell asleep again. When she was dressing up the next morning
When she mentioned it, Luzhu responded: "It's someone from Jingyang Palace. I don't feel comfortable saying that I promised. Concubine Rong said that Sister Huanchun Yan's sour plums are good, so she sent someone to ask for some. Concubine Rong is really troublesome. It's almost midnight."
He still takes care of Zhang Promise."
Lan Qi said that it was still early to go to Cining Palace, and she wanted to go to Jingyang Palace to see Zhang Yaosheng. When she came, she saw the imperial doctor arriving, so she talked to Concubine Rong and waited for the results of the diagnosis and treatment. She would go to Cining Palace later and also
I have something to tell you.
When Lan Qi went to Cining Palace to say what Zhang promised, everyone in the Sixth Palace also knew the news that she was not feeling well. They had been banned here for a spring, and Ping Guiren, who had no hope of going out even in the summer, could also get out of the house.
The well-informed palace maid knew that while she cursed Zhang Jia for not being able to give birth to this son, she also said angrily: "It must be deliberately causing trouble so that people in the palace can continue to see my jokes. As long as Zhang Jia agrees to give birth to an uneasy child.
, I can’t raise my head, can I?”
He turned around and looked at the faint scar on his forehead in the mirror, and said resentfully: "I might as well have kicked her in the stomach. No one knew she was pregnant anyway, so why didn't they kill me?"
This was naturally an angry statement. If Lord Ping really kicked away the child that Zhang promised, whether she knew it or not, it would be a fatal sin. How could she be allowed to still live in fine clothing and food at this moment, let alone curse others without satisfaction.
While she was cursing, a palace maid came in from the door, holding an exquisite gilt box in her hands, and reported: "The thing sent by Changchun Palace is said to be an ointment for removing scars. Concubine Hui asked Mr. Ping to try it.
