The conversation between the two was exactly the same as when Zhang promised to complain to Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui earlier, but Concubine De still looked gentle and friendly in front of others, but whatever words she said to Zhang promised to be ignored by others.
He was dismissed mercilessly, and it happened again and again, even Yifei couldn't listen to it anymore.
"What are you whispering about?" Concubine Yi came in with a happy smile, holding the hairpin on her bun with one hand, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't blame me for being rude. I would feel even more rude if I didn't dress up to see you.
.I was just lazing around in the room, my hair was a little loose, and you suddenly came, I don’t know what to do.”
Lan Qi wanted to stand up and bow to her, but Concubine Yi hurriedly supported her and advised with a smile: "It looks like you are about to give birth, don't move around." She gently touched Lan Qi's belly and said, "
Her belly is pointed, as if she is about to give birth to a brother, Sister De Fei is really lucky."
Lan Qi and Yi Fei are about the same age. Although she is a little taller, she doesn't often hear Yi Fei call her sister. Today, I don't know what Yifei thinks about her sister's affection. In Lan Qi's opinion, this is nothing more.
It is the most "raw" expression. People often do things that they would not normally do in order to conceal the truth. People with a discerning eye can see those little thoughts at a glance.
"Everyone said it was an elder brother, and the imperial doctor also said it was an elder brother's pulse. You know, I am longing for an elder brother in my heart." Lan Qi frankly said what was in her heart, but Concubine Yi looked strange when she heard it, as if she couldn't guess.
Through her thoughts.
But as Lan Qi spoke, she suddenly laughed sheepishly and said repeatedly to Zhang Yaoyao: "Sister, don't worry too much. It's not that I don't like Yin Xiang. You know that I lost my sixth brother and I always look forward to having another son."
"Although Yinxiang is good, he is not my biological son after all. I can't bear this twist in my heart, but I will definitely love and protect him as my biological son."
The words Lan Qi said came from her heart, but the obedient people always tried to hear her "sincerity". If they didn't tell the truth in front of others, they felt that others would not tell the truth to them. After listening to
I don't want to believe the truth, but I suspect that the speaker has ulterior motives.
Zhang promised to be a person who was in bed and confinement. He seemed to be tired, with a tired look on his face. When Concubine De told her about Thirteenth Brother, she was also bored. It was obviously just a small promise. When facing Concubine Yi,
There was no humility and flattery in front of Concubine De, but only cold politeness, and even a bit of arrogance as she was also favored by the emperor.
The topic gradually changed, and Concubine Yi asked Lan Qi: "I heard that the Queen Mother is inseparable from people. Why did my sister come to my Yikun Palace? I have always wanted to go to Cining Palace to serve the Queen Mother, but it is a pity that it is not my turn.
Sister Hui Fei said, at this juncture, our wife can just stay calm, even if we don’t cause trouble to the emperor, we will be clumsy even if we go there, and we will not be even half as good as you."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "There are imperial doctors and palace maids there, so I don't want me to do anything. It's just that I have been in front of the old man for a long time, so I can talk to him better than you." When talking about Yikun Palace, she said it was because of it.
The road ahead was not clear of snow, so she was sent back to Yonghe Palace to rest. Now that she was in front of the Yikun Palace, she wanted to come in and see Zhang Yaosheng and the little princess.
Speaking of the little princess, Concubine Yi hurriedly smiled and asked the wet nurse to bring it to Empress De Fei. Lan Qi's face remained calm, but in her heart she knew that the rumors in the White House were true. As expected, Concubine Yi did not care about this child at all.
The baby was carried around so casually. If it were her ninth and eleventh elder brother in the past, would she be willing to let him go?
The weak baby was quickly brought in. Lan Qi couldn't hold the baby because she had a bulging belly. The wet nurse knelt beside her and let her see that the baby was sleeping soundly. There was nothing wrong with it, but Lan Qi came closer.
The wet nurse smelled the scent of the soup on her body, and her heart trembled. She just smiled and said: "The princess is so cute, no wonder the emperor likes her so much."
Concubine Yi smiled proudly: "Isn't that right? When the little princess had her third shower, the emperor came specially to watch the ceremony. This little girl is really lucky."
"It's the blessing of Concubine Yi." Zhang promised to speak coldly from the side, "It's the blessing of Concubine Yi that I can see the little princess from time to time in the future."
Lan Qi deliberately showed an embarrassed look and smiled at Concubine Yi without saying anything. Then it seemed that the wind and snow were going to happen again outside. Lan Qi had to say goodbye and go back to Yonghe Palace. When she went out, Concubine Yi asked her how the Empress Dowager was doing.
, the two of them exchanged a few polite words and dispersed.
When Concubine Yi returned to the house where Zhang promised, she saw her hugging her knees and burying her face in the quilt and crying. Xiao Yu kept admonishing her and refused to listen. Concubine Yi came closer and scolded: "I can't cry in confinement, you have those eyes."
She's so beautiful, don't cry too much."
Xiaoyu twitched and said, "Mother, my family promised that she misses Brother Thirteen."
Concubine Yi gave a long sigh and advised her: "If I have a way, I will definitely help you mother and son to be together. Look at this situation, the thirteenth brother will not be able to recognize his mother in the future. Everyone in the palace knows that the five of us
My brother doesn’t have me in his heart at all…”
She shared the hatred of losing her son, so Yi Fei felt that she could especially understand Zhang Yaosheng's pain. Such drama seemed very real to her, so she left the side palace after some persuasion, but Zhang Yaosheng did not stop after Yi Fei left.
The tears she was crying were not the Thirteenth Brother at all.
There is no better place than Yonghe Palace. His son has gone to the best place, and he will get the best care and upbringing. How can Zhang promise be sad? The reason why he shed tears is because he did so again after returning from Changchun Garden.
When she saw Empress De Fei, she appeared in front of her without warning. If Tao Hong hadn't been there at that time, she would have cried uncontrollably. No one knew how worried and scared she was.
Just because Taohong and other people from Yikun Palace were there, Empress De Fei did not tell her a word of "truth". Only when she reached out to hold a handful when they met, and the ordinary physical contact made Zhang agree to feel her empress.
Sincerely. When that warm and soft hand touched her, Concubine De's face showed an intimate smile. Thinking of it now, she still asked Zhang to promise to catch up.
I wish I could be intimate with my empress in a dignified manner as before. Even if I don’t regret everything now, I still hope that this twisted life can end as soon as possible. However, the Empress Dowager is about to leave, and this twisted life has just begun.
Lan Qi returned to Yonghe Palace all the way, and the sky was gloomy again. The strong wind was about to roll down the snow particles. Lan Qi stood in front of the door and the palace maid took off her hood and cloak. She should have been surrounded by her inside.
While Dian was warming up, Lan Qi asked someone to lift the thick cotton curtain in front of the door, and the biting wind rushed in like a sharp blade, as if to find some calmness in the icy cold wind.
Huan Chun came from the princess's house and saw this gesture. He quickly scolded the palace maid to put down the curtain and came up to touch the master's arm and shoulder. However, in the blink of an eye, his hands were already cold to the touch. He couldn't help complaining: "If this makes me sick, what are you going to do?"
What should I do, Your Majesty?"
Lan Qi sat on the kang and said with straight eyes: "Pregnant women are inherently hot, and I have a sense of discretion. How can I make myself sick at this time of year? I wish I could be in front of the Empress Dowager all the time, but they just don't
If you allow me to say that my body can’t bear it, how do they know that there’s really nothing important for me.”
Huan Chun persuaded in a good voice: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of just in case. If something happens to you, how can the Empress Dowager feel at ease?" When he came just now, he heard that the master had gone to Yikun Palace on the way, and he guessed that he was unhappy with the encounter.
She didn't dare to make random guesses about it and didn't mention it at all, but Lan Qi herself was full of desire to tell.
Hearing the angry things in Yikun Palace, Lan Qi felt sorry for Xing'er who had sacrificed everything for her. She held Huan Chun's hand tightly and said, "Go and tell Eunuch Liang again that you must protect Xing'er."
My son, please don’t let Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui hurt her, even if I break my skin, I will keep her safe."
Huan Chun said calmly: "Now everything is focused on Cining Palace. Those few dare not cause trouble. Any inappropriate thing at the moment will bring trouble to the emperor. I feel that the empresses will not be so shameless."
Look, at least for this period of time, you can rest assured."
"I understand too." Lan Qi let out a long sigh, and then talked about Xing'er's conversation with her, filled with emotion, "Those words frightened me so much that I really thought she had turned against me, but when I was about to leave
At that time, the reluctance shown in her eyes broke my heart."
Huan Chun was about to comfort her when he saw Lu Zhu lift the curtain and come in and say, "Mr. Jue Chan is in front of the door, asking if the empress is okay and if we can meet and talk."
"I'm fine." Lan Qi ordered, and Huan Chun went to the door to greet her. Jue Chan came in wearing a coral-colored snow dress. She looked very eye-catching coming out of the snow. This was why people in the palace often criticized her.
First, she seems to be low-key and aloof from the world, but on top of her beautiful appearance, she also always likes bright and beautiful clothes. Perhaps only Concubine De looks comfortable to herself, but in the eyes of others, she is beautiful, but she is uneasy and kind-hearted.
It was very windy outside, and Master Juechan came on foot, her face red from the cold. Lan Qi handed her her hand stove. Master Juechan smiled and said, "I will leave after saying a few words. I have been thinking about coming here these days."
, and I’m afraid of disturbing your rest, but as each day passes, I don’t say that I feel uneasy.”
"What's important?" Lan Qi asked.
However, Mrs. Juechan bowed and said, "What I said is disrespectful. Please don't get excited after hearing this." After saying this, Concubine De nodded in agreement and said, "The Empress Dowager is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive the winter."
, Your Majesty, you must understand better than anyone else."
The words brought tears to Lan Qi's eyes. She tried her best to suppress her sadness and said calmly: "Go on."
Jue Chan looked solemn and said softly: "When the Empress Dowager passes away, all funeral rituals have to be standardized. I guess that the emperor must have a grand and solemn ceremony. Someone in the harem may be in charge at that time. At the moment, whether the empress is in physical or mental health,
It is not appropriate to interfere with your identity. If your concubine's words make sense, please just grieve and mourn the death of the Empress Dowager, and don't interfere with other matters. Don't give those people a reason to violate the palace regulations. I'm afraid you will never
From the moment the Queen Mother closes her eyes, they will keep an eye on you all the time."
