Fearing that the sight of yellow leaves and fallen flowers in the garden after autumn would cause sadness, the emperor originally planned to serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager back to the Forbidden City after the summer. However, the Empress Dowager had been ill earlier, and the Imperial Concubine's health had only begun to recover.
Concubine De was having another pregnancy, and she was obviously unable to leave in July and August. The emperor's return to the palace was once again postponed.
July was in full swing, and the weather was getting cooler. On that day, the emperor sent an order from Changchun Garden to the Sixth Palace, saying that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager missed their grandchildren, and asked the palace people to send all the elder brothers and princesses to the garden for a gathering, so as not to delay
They just came to say hello to the students and then went back immediately. Whether they wanted to visit the garden or not was another matter. The emperor asked them to come to express his longing for his grandmother, not to let the children have fun.
The brothers will not come until the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, Aunt Sumala has been studying the dishes with the maids in Ningchun Hall. She said that the Queen Mother felt sorry for the children who had worked hard to study. It was rare to come here and wanted to prepare some delicious fun for them.
Yes, although Xuan Ye was serious, when he arrived at Ningchun Hall, he couldn't help himself.
Today, after Lan Qi came to say hello, she felt nauseated after smelling the medicinal smell of the Empress Dowager. The old man asked Princess Rongxian to send Concubine De back. On the way, Rongxian asked her: "Concubine De, only my brothers will come the day after tomorrow. I, Concubine De, will be here."
Not coming?"
Lan Qi looked at her with a smile, knowing that the mother and daughter separated after a quarrel. Rong Xian was doing better these days. When he first came to the garden, he was bored every day. Even Wen Xian insisted on saying that his sister was so fierce.
Lan Qi knew that it felt uncomfortable to be wronged, but Xing'er had worked hard to do such a thing. Lan Qi couldn't just soften her heart and ruin her plan. They were both pregnant women, and Xing'er was walking on the edge of a knife for herself.
, but he lives his life comfortably here.
Because Lan Qi was having an abortion, Rong Xian had been following the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother since her arrival. The two had never had a good conversation. At this moment, Rong Xian sent Lan Qi back and helped her lie down on the couch to rest while sitting on the edge.
The maids brought water to wash their hands. The princess's movements were very graceful. Lan Qi looked at her and said, "Sister, please help me take care of my sister more. Wen Xian should learn your rules and etiquette as soon as possible. That girl is a
You skinny monkey doesn't look like a princess at all, I'm so anxious."
Rong Xian smiled leisurely: "These sisters will meet sooner or later. Now it is up to her to be in front of my great-grandmother. If she acts softly and coquettishly, both my great-grandmother and the imperial grandmother will have an extra bowl of rice."
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing. Although Wen Xian was naughty and domineering, he was indeed very good at coaxing people. He made the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother happy every day. No wonder the Queen Mother doted on her so much. But there was one thing that Lan Qi never dared to care about, so she
At such a young age, this girl has already had more cases than her brothers and sisters, which is very different. She asked the Queen Mother tactfully why she was like this. The Queen Mother smiled and said that at first it was because the people below were fawning, but gradually it became a rule, and the Emperor also knew it, and
There is no need to care too much about the affairs of the girl's family. She has helped the children to break up their things and save them for future dowry. It seems that the Queen Mother has already been planning for her granddaughter's grand wedding in the future.
At this moment, Huan Chun served tea and snacks, and Rong Xian thoughtfully asked Lan Qi if she would feel uncomfortable if she smelled the smell. Lan Qi's unhappiness came in waves. It happened that the Empress Dowager couldn't smell the smell of medicine. At this moment, there were things on the small table
Nothing serious happened, and he pointed out a plate of snow powder glutinous rice dumplings for Rong Xian to try, and said with a smile: "The sweet-scented osmanthus filling inside is very sweet, and the dough is waxy and tough. Wen Xian can eat three or four of them in one sitting."
Rong Xian looked at it, stretched out his hand to take it, but put it down. He lowered his head and said with a smile: "Eniang said you can't eat too many sweets, as your body will gain weight. Now is the time when you are growing up, so you have to eat delicately and not too much.
"Sweets are of no benefit, so avoid them if you can."
Lan Qi remembered that she was emotionally unstable after giving birth and cried and refused to put on a corset. At that time, Concubine Rong allowed herself to touch her slender waist. As a concubine, she was very self-controlled. Now she would educate Rong like this.
Xian, she is not surprised at all. Thinking about Concubine Rong, even though she no longer serves the emperor as before, she still maintains her slim and beautiful appearance. For Lan Qi, this is something that she should be vigilant and careful about in the rest of her life.
"Just take a few bites of what you like. You won't get fat if you take a few bites. Then go back and play with Wen Xian for a while. The little devil is jumping up and down." Lan Qi smiled gently, not forcing Rong Xian, and picked up the scented tea herself.
After coming to drink, he put down the tea bowl and Rong Xian said softly: "Empress De, Emperor Ama, will you like Zhang Yaosheng as much as you do?"
Lan Qi was stunned, a little embarrassed. She couldn't tell lies to Rong Xian. The child had long understood that his father was affectionate and shallow. Her mother-in-law was not favored. Maybe in her heart, she also longed for her mother to be like De.
Like the concubine, she received the protection of her father.
"How should I put it?" Lan Qi forced a smile, "We are all people who serve your Ama. Although our status is different, we are all the same."
Rong Xian was slightly disappointed, but she understood why she should ask her elders to answer her words like this. She thought about it and said, "I really didn't agree without permission. She must have ulterior motives for talking nonsense like that. Right now, E Niang is alone."
, I'm really worried that she will be bullied by Zhang Shengxing. E Niang is a cautious person, but Zhang Shengsheng is so arrogant and does anything without any regard for the consequences. Tell me why she fell like that that day. She really got red, kid.
I almost couldn't save it, otherwise my mother wouldn't be so angry and blame me indiscriminately."
Mentioning that incident again, Lan Qi was still frightened and worried about Xing'er. She felt that Xing'er would not sacrifice the child to fall out with Concubine Rong, but the fact was that she almost couldn't save the child. What was the reason?
You can only know it when you see her, but even if she waits for her to return to the palace, she and Xing'er are already incompatible with each other, so what chance will they have to talk properly? I feel sorry for her sacrifice for herself, and I hope she won't be abused like Jue Chan by the imperial concubine.
, bullied by those few.
"Empress De, I want to wait for my brothers to come to pay their respects to my great-grandmother, and then go back to the palace with them. It's autumn and the palace has to be busy with a lot of things. We also have to prepare for the year-end festivals. I must be extremely busy. I want to go.
Help E Niang." Rong Xian held a piece of jujube paste shark's fin cake in his hand and refused to eat it. He lowered his head and muttered, "I'm afraid E Niang is still angry and won't pay attention to me."
After saying this, tears fell from the princess's beautiful eyes. Lan Qi felt heartbroken, but Rong Xian became more and more sad the more she cried. It took a long time before she sobbed and said, "In a few years, Sister Chunxi and I will get married.
I don’t know which country I’m going to or which corner of the grassland I’m going to, or how many times I’ll be able to see E-niang in the rest of my life. I really want to be by E-niang’s side every day.”
Lan Qi felt very sad when she heard that. She asked Rong Xian to sit next to her and hugged her and said, "Just go back with your brothers. Why would she ignore you? There is no mother in the world who doesn't want her children. She must be thinking of you every day.
I can’t bear to be separated from you.”
Rong Xian lay softly on Lan Qi's shoulder and said with sobs: "It would be great if Zhang could agree to move out. I don't want to see her. Next time she might try to instigate me and Er Niang, De Niang Niang,
Can this be done?"
Lan Qi felt very nervous after hearing this. Obviously Myolie’s purpose was to leave Jingyang Palace, but Myolie had her own plans, and it was best not to interfere casually. However, if the princess had such a request, it would be natural to just let it go.
After all, there was a falling out this time, so it can’t be false at all.
"Empress De cannot make the decision in this matter. You understand a little about the matters between adults, don't you?" Lan Qi said tactfully, mentioning the child a little, "You can mention it to the imperial grandmother. Wan Chang is here now.
If you're not in Jingyang Palace, your mother is too busy and there really isn't anyone to take care of her. Zhang promised, it wouldn't be a bad thing to move her to a more suitable place where she can be taken care of."
Rong Xian was a smart boy, and he understood after a little bump. His aggrieved eyes shone with joy, and he said to Lan Qi: "Empress De is the best."
The two chatted quietly for a while, and soon the little devil came whistling and took Sister Rongxian to play. Lan Qi told them not to run away. The sisters had just left not long after they arrived, and Eunuch Liang came, and she thought
Get up and make an agreement today to interrogate the palace maid and eunuch who attempted to assassinate Duan Yao.
The eunuch has been imprisoned in Ruijingxuan till now, and the people below have guarded him very well. There is no movement at all, and the thing cannot die. Lan Qi ordered that no one can talk to him. After so many days, that person has been almost seen.
The hopeless days that never end are driving me crazy.
The room was separated by a tall screen. Huan Chun helped his master sit down on one side. Naturally, she did not need to talk to the slave. Lan Qi only had to listen. Eunuch Liang learned a lot of skills from his master. Shen
He also understands the tricks of the torture department, but Lan Qi doesn't allow them to use torture. The pain in the flesh will only make people talk nonsense and kill people. Only when the heart collapses can the most true bits be brought out.
"Eunuch Liang, please let me go, give me a happy life, and kill me..."
The pleading came gradually, and Eunuch Liang's pretentious tone made Huan Chun and others frown. Lan Qi calmly listened to the conversation on the other side of the screen, from Concubine Yi to Concubine Hui, and then from Concubine Hui to Concubine Yi.
Concubine, it made her heart feel cold layer by layer.
The interrogation did not last long, and Lan Qi quickly left the dark room. The bright and sunny sky outside made people feel as if they had entered another world.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Hui's idea was for Concubine Yi. Aren't they very close?" Huan Chun sighed and helped his master back to the house. Thinking of what the slave just said, he was still frightened and said bitterly,
"But if by chance you really take that medicine, who knows if Concubine Hui also wants to take a gamble and kill two birds with one stone."
Lan Qi sighed deeply and waved her hand to Huan Chun: "Let me be quiet for a while."
At this moment, Eunuch Liang had settled the eunuch, and hurriedly came to listen to Empress Dowager De's instructions. He asked her what she wanted to do, and talked about how to deal with the eunuch, and whether he wanted to keep him alive for future confrontation. Lan Qi looked at him straightly.
Looking at her, he bit his lip secretly, his heart sank for a moment, and he said coldly: "As far as the outside world is concerned, he is already dead."
Eunuch Liang seemed to understand, but he didn't believe that Concubine De would be so cruel, but the concubine gave him a clear message: "There is no need to let him live."
