According to what Yi promised, Jin Yan is indeed a thoughtful girl. Although Lan Qi has always felt that it is not wrong for anyone to seek a future for herself. As long as it is not a matter of harming others and benefiting herself, there is nothing wrong with spending some time. However, in the deep palace
, the rules and etiquette are strict and rigid, and taking risks can indeed bring unexpected results, but successful people are extremely rare, and most of them end up like Jin Yan. Even so, there are still people who come forward all the time, risking their lives for the sake of sex.
.
"Your Majesty, please talk to me. My concubine's chest feels a little cold. I would like to go back and have a bowl of hot tea to take a rest." Yi promised to be a man in his thirties after all, and he still has some eyes to see people and things. He knows.
It was inconvenient for me to follow Concubine De to see Noble Master Chuezhen, so I walked back politely and then retreated to my room.
Lan Qi nodded in agreement, parted with her, and went to Jue Chan's house. Seeing Xianghe in front of the door, she hurriedly called in and saw Jue Chan's Pingting coming out. She was wearing a wisteria-colored satin gown with her hair tied low on her head.
Finally, it really didn't look like he was about to welcome guests or go out.
Purple is so beautiful, but it is the most attractive color. If it is not worn well, it will only be tacky. Many people love its beauty, but few can control it. But what I see now on Jue Chan is really
It's so noble and elegant, bringing out the beauty of purple to its fullest.
"I heard that Fu Jin has entered the palace, why did the empress come to this concubine?" Jue Chan is now familiar with Lan Qi, and their conversation is more friendly and casual than before. The two of them went inside and sat separately. Lan Qi asked Xiang He not to serve tea.
, smiled and said, "I'm about to leave. It's Lan Ying who is in Ningchun Hall. I'm going back right now. I met Yi Yasheng on the way. I heard she said you were feeling depressed in the house, so I wanted to come and see you."
Noble Jue Chan was a little surprised and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that Yi promised to notice that I was upset."
"Maybe you feel at home here. You don't have to be as careful as you do in the palace, and you can show your true nature inadvertently. This is also a good thing." Lan Qi smiled gently and said straightforwardly, "But recently during the Ghost Festival, you have been thinking about that day.
Is it in place?"
Jue Chan shook his head: "I am not thinking about him today, but I am seeing the relatives of all the sisters coming to the palace for a reunion. Thinking that I have no family to gather with, it will inevitably hurt my body. I am afraid that in a hundred years from now, no one will be my concubine.
Cry."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "Even if we are relatives, fate has short and long consequences. Blood ties are just a symbol of relatives, and not all can last a lifetime. To put it bluntly, it is fate that we are together. If we can take care of each other and live happily, it will be better than relatives.
Too much."
"That's the truth." Master Juechan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to put away these heavy burdens. Then he remembered something and raised his hand to show the pattern of his cuffs to Concubine De. He said with a smile, "I have recently come up with a new pattern.
, you can take a look at it, if the empress likes it, I can ask Huan Chun to bring you some autumn and winter clothes, and I will add a few stitches to you."
Lan Qi likes to see Mrs. Jue Chan dressing up beautifully. In fact, she is naturally beautiful and with a little care, she is better than many others. Although others think she is suspected of seducing the emperor, Lan Qi can see that she is.
If she wants to live a better life, she should dress and dress for herself, but even if she can understand Jue Chan's thoughts, Lan Qi doesn't really want to imitate her beauty.
Lan Qi is confident in her appearance. Although she is not as ugly as Dong Shi, she does not want to turn herself into a second one because of Jue Chan's beauty. Xuan Ye likes Wu Ya Lan Qi and she should be herself.
That’s it.
"This style looks good on you, but not necessarily on me. It's extremely troublesome to look at the needle and thread. Now that the days are short and the nights are long, you have to spend a lot of time doing it under the light. It's better to recuperate." Lan Qi tactfully said.
After refusing, he changed the topic and asked about the eldest brother of the Jue Chan family and the palace maid. Although I had doubted it, I didn't dare to think that the Jue Chan family would really do something to a child. Seeing her nodding at this moment, I was a little dazed.
.
"Jinyan's thoughts were revealed when I first laid eyes on her. She knew how to comb her hair and dress up like I did. Although she didn't have the same clothes or jewelry, I could tell by her appearance." Mrs. Juechan was very calm.
Said, "I did not encourage her to seduce the eldest brother, but when chatting with Yi, she said something about the eldest brother intentionally or unintentionally, saying that the eldest brother was taking girls as concubines in the mansion, etc. Jin
Yan's eyes light up every time she hears it. Sure enough, when her eldest brother came to the garden that day, she went to look for him."
Lan Qi frowned when she heard this and said softly: "The eldest brother is just a child. Why do you hate Concubine Hui..."
"Your Majesty, my eldest brother is already married and is an adult." Jue Chan was cruel enough and did not avoid Lan Qi's displeased gaze and said firmly, "My Majesty, you are soft-hearted again."
Lan Qi calmed down and thought about it. Although this incident made Xuan Ye furious, the eldest brother had been misbehaving for a long time. When the young palace maids were first removed from the study and all were replaced by eunuchs and nuns, it was because of the big brother.
When my elder brother touched the little palace maid, he was really just a child. Now that he has a family, he is indeed no longer a child.
"I just instigated Jin Yan's ambitions. The other things were not planned by me. Meeting the prince was even more unexpected. It shows that God is not helping Concubine Hui." There was arrogant hatred in Mrs. Juechan's eyes. This hatred,
It is very different from the vicious ambitions of others. I am afraid that if Concubine Hui saw it at this moment, she would definitely feel chills running down her spine.
Lan Qi sighed: "Words came from the palace that Concubine Hui left Da Fujin in Changchun Palace for two days and asked the nuns in the palace to teach her the secrets of the boudoir, so that she could tie up the eldest brother's heart. She almost lost her husband.
The child is driven crazy, that child is the poor one."
Now Eunuch Liang is running errands for Empress Dowager De, and the affairs in the palace are reported to the empress from time to time. Lan Qi understands that only by knowing yourself and your enemies can you prevent those people from being interested in her, and Eunuch Liang's detailed reports allow her to see through the palace.
There are never any secrets here. If you don’t want to be caught, you have to act upright and do things above board.
"What should I do about Eighth Brother? Aren't you worried about that child?" Lan Qi finally asked. As a mother, she couldn't imagine a woman being ruthless to her own flesh and blood.
Noble Jue Chan remained indifferent and shook his head: "After so many years, I think about it now, what's the point? If the Eighth Prince can do well, his future is his own. If he can't do well, I have a low status, and what can I do for you?"
What is he?"
"That's all, I shouldn't ask more questions." Lan Qi sighed. This was the only thing she and Juechan couldn't talk about. Now that the eldest brother's matter was figured out, it would be nice for her to have some confidence in her heart.
I am planning to go back to Ningchun Hall.
Jue Chan sent her to the door. Suddenly he remembered something and said softly: "I was wandering in the garden a few days ago. I happened to meet some eunuchs leading two ministers in. Since it was not suitable to meet, I hid in
Behind the flowers. As they passed by, I heard a few words. Madam, you have been paying more attention recently. I am afraid that the court will be shaken. Someone wants to impeach Mingzhu for corruption and accepting bribes."
Lan Qi was startled, and she suppressed her thoughts and said softly: "This matter cannot be discussed. The harem is not allowed to discuss government affairs."
Jue Chan said calmly: "Throughout the ages, there is no woman who can really stand in the harem without being tainted by the government. But today's wisdom, my empress, naturally you don't need to do the things of killing and decisively deciding the direction of the court, but you can't help but
Knowing the affairs of the court, for you, is also to prevent those people from jumping over the wall one day and doing something unfavorable to you. My concubine has a low status. If I didn't bump into it accidentally that day, I would hardly hear about the affairs of the court. But you are different, my concubine.
As long as you want to know, there is nothing that cannot be known. I believe that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are the imperial concubine, and my uncle and uncle will always mention it."
"This matter ends here." Lan Qi also looked serious, but she was not disgusted with Jue Chan's words. She said calmly, "You and I have different temperaments, and the values of many things are very different. There is no right here.
Wrong, it’s only you and I who think it’s worth it or not. We’ll discuss this later. Do you, like others, think that I am really standing firm in this palace, just because you see my grace and glory?”
At this moment, Jue Chan was stunned by what she said, but the smart woman soon smiled and praised Concubine De like a hero: "The empress has indeed never lost her true nature."
Leaving the residence of the noble Jue Chan, they walked all the way to Ningchun Hall. Huan Chun and others did not hear what the two of them said, but they could see that the master was affected. However, this aspect was not revealed to the noble Jue Chan, but they walked further and further.
As you get further away, it gradually appears on your face.
For more than ten years, the words taught by the Empress Dowager and Grandma Sumala have penetrated into Lan Qi's bones. But after they gradually merged into her blood, she began to have her own ideas. The failure of the saffron thing last time made her think...
She has experienced many things, and this time she tested the waters again, but she was not as radical as before. Slowly and slowly, she peeled off the cocoon, and she felt that a seemingly simple matter had countless entanglements between the harem and the imperial court.
Understand that what you do affects your whole body.
Only then did Master Juechan talk to her about government affairs, and Lan Qi righteously refused. But in fact, in her heart, she had already understood the importance of government affairs. It was only the words of the Empress Dowager and Aunt Sumala that made her realize that for
Her understanding of government affairs must not be shown on her face or spoken. No matter whether it is the well-intentioned advice or malicious temptation from others, no one should be aware of her prying heart towards this forbidden land.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" When they were about to arrive at Ningchun Hall, Huan Chun couldn't help but ask Lan Qi, "If you go in with such a stern face, the Empress Dowager will be worried."
Lan Qi finally came to her senses and forced a smile: "I have nothing to do. I probably walked too much and feel uncomfortable."
At this time, Wen Xian's silvery laughter was faintly heard. The little girl was probably playing with Lan Ying. The laughter was crazy. Lan Qi started talking about how she had just gotten into trouble. She walked in with Huan Chun and wanted to teach her a few words, but when her daughter saw her,
She rushed over like a butterfly, hugged Lan Qi's legs, raised her neck and asked, "Mother, is Shun Anyan still crying?"
