Hearing this ridiculous nonsense, Xuan Ye felt helpless and asked her: "You always like to say these senseless things, and you dared to block my hand just now. Are you afraid that one day I will really get angry and ignore you again?"
, don’t want you anymore?”
Lan Qi blinked her eyes, pouted slightly, shook her head for a while, and said decisively: "I'm not afraid."
Xuan Ye frowned deeply and sighed: "Is it because I'm afraid that one day you will ignore me and end your friendship?"
Between words, the emperor addressed each other as you and me, which is what happens when there is an incomparable intimacy. Lan Qi has always been with the Empress Dowager. She is almost always there when the grandparents and grandchildren meet. For more than ten years, Xuan Ye has been watching the words and expressions of her grandmother.
Speaking in front of others actually has its own weight.
In ordinary gossip, he would mostly refer to himself as "grandson". Occasionally he would talk to the Empress Dowager about important matters, or ask for his grandmother's nod and support. Most of the time, he would unconsciously address him as "I", which was obviously the latter.
, is different from usual times, he completely regards himself as an emperor, even in front of his grandmother, he does not lose the air of emperor.
Lan Qi has always kept this little difference in mind. She cannot explain the difference to the Empress Dowager. No matter whether the old man has noticed it or not, it is not her turn to discuss the relationship between grandfather and grandson. And this
Lan Qi can fully apply the above subtle differences in her relationship with Xuan Ye. No matter how much Xuan Ye loves her more than her, he still doesn’t think we are commensurate with each other. Unlike when he faced his grandmother, in front of her, Xuan Ye himself
The pride of his emperor, the pride of being infrequent and intimate, can keep them awake at all times about everything in front of them.
Naturally, when Xuan Ye called you and me, Lan Qi should have understood that what the emperor was saying came from the bottom of his heart and he wanted to be understood. At this moment, she herself was not a virtuous concubine of Yonghe Palace, but just a concubine around him.
A woman is a wife who gives him warmth, but the word "wife" can only be hidden in her own heart.
"In a few years, or even very soon, there will be new people in the palace. Now that the Queen Mother is gone, no matter how close you and the Queen Mother are, you will always be somewhat polite to each other, and you can't act coquettishly like you did to the Queen Mother." Xuan Ye hugged Lan Qi.
She took her into his arms, gently caressing her arm as if she didn't love him enough, but said the opposite of everything, "How should I face the newcomer, and how should I face you, if you are wronged in the future?"
, there’s no place even for acting coquettishly and complaining.”
In the words, there was Xuan Ye's sorrow for losing his grandmother, and there was also the emperor's hesitation about the future that he would never reveal easily. Lan Qi listened quietly, lying on his chest, and after a long time she suddenly said: "The emperor is afraid of himself.
Will you fall in love with another woman in the future just like you fall in love with a concubine? It’s like..."
It seems that Lan Qi didn't say anything about what happened next, and Xuan Ye didn't ask. She was thinking of the affectionate man who couldn't extricate himself from the pain of losing his wife in the rain, but she couldn't say it out loud. She couldn't, as a mere concubine,
To compare with the noble Queen Yuan. And he didn't understand what Lan Qi was going to say. How could there be anyone who knew his emotions better than himself?
"How are you going to deal with yourself?" Xuan Ye asked. The beautiful woman just now was not there, and there was no serious playfulness. The two of them were talking about very serious things quietly, and they were talking about their lives in the next few decades.
.
"I will always be jealous. I can't tolerate any woman in my heart." Listening to Xuan Ye's heartbeat, Lan Qi said slowly, "Don't worry, no matter what newcomers there are in the future, no matter what new atmosphere there is in the harem, I
I will not do anything to embarrass you, but no matter whether I am generous or tolerant or cold and aloof, please don’t misunderstand that Wu Yalanqi doesn’t care about this and dare not ask others about it. At least I can’t tolerate it in my life.
For other women, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ye's tone was so helpless, but every word was filled with love for the person in his arms, "Can't you say some nice words to coax me?"
Lan Qi sat up, looked up into his eyes, and said unconvincingly: "There are so many women who are coaxing you, and so many ministers who are coaxing you. How rare is it for the emperor to give you a false and coaxing word from a concubine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ye turned over and put her on the bed. His warm breath suppressed her, and she couldn't help but shiver. How could she do it again tonight? But she stubbornly didn't close her eyes and didn't turn her face away.
Looking at the person in front of him, Xuan Ye laughed out loud and said softly: "You have won again, haven't you? You can't live without you because of me."
The person on the couch raised his lips and asked provocatively: "Then, will the Emperor go to Yikun Palace tomorrow night?"
After the words fell, a passionate kiss ensued. Lan Qi was "punished" for what she said. She could hardly breathe, but she soon fell into it. In the best years of her life, she had been devoid of desire for nearly half a year.
, The body is much more frank. She doesn't want to refuse or escape at all. Even if she feels that Xuan Ye deliberately bullied her in the previous things, she is willing to be bullied.
In the best years, why not be unrestrained and unrestrained?
The next morning, the huge ice cubes in the room turned into water. It dawned early in summer, and the emperor was already scorching brightly when he went to court. Lan Qi woke up earlier than Xuan Ye, packed herself up, and called the emperor in time.
I got up and carefully packed everything for him. Suddenly I heard Xuan Ye say: "I have something to announce today. It was decided last night."
Lan Qi was puzzled, pursed her lips and remained calm. To be honest, she only remembered the ups and downs of warmth last night, and her mind went blank as she seriously said something.
But the emperor said: "Probably, you will be unhappy."
Lan Qi was even more puzzled. It was clear day and she could no longer speak carelessly like she did in the boudoir at night. She responded cautiously: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Xuan Ye smiled, and although he was full of imperial aura, he seemed to be unable to hide his reluctance, and said slowly: "I will reinstate the Pearl Officer to his post today."
Lan Qi stared at him blankly, what was going on in her heart at that moment? Lan Qi didn't know at the time and couldn't think of it afterwards, but Xuan Ye's words made her feel a bit of emperor's sadness for no reason.
"I won't give him real power for the time being, and I won't let him get involved in world affairs easily. But I don't know when it will be used again. This is a threat to some people. I can't think of anything better.
A force comes to compete with them."
Xuan Ye didn't explain who "they" were until he left, but Lan Qi felt that whoever heard it at that time would understand that they were the prince and his uncle, Suo'etu.
But in front of the emperor, Lan Qi just said that the concubine knew that it was government affairs. Xuan Ye told her that he was giving her an explanation for Yin Zuo's death that was not an explanation. Xuan Ye should be punished if he didn't tell her. At the moment
She has yet to reveal her concern and sensitivity about government affairs to anyone, and the time Zhang agreed was not considered. Lan Qi even felt that she might keep this feeling secretly for the rest of her life.
Sure enough, as the emperor said in the morning, the news of Nalan Pearl Officer's reinstatement spread in the harem before the first court meeting ended that day.
In the Changchun Palace, Yanzhu happily kowtowed to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui sat cross-legged under the bright window, gently shaking a silk fan embroidered with the four characters "good luck and good luck" in her hand. She was in her twenties in the palace.
In the year, there were so many ups and downs that she had not experienced before. Everyone was happy to think that the gloom of Changchun Palace had passed, but she was still worried about how she got carried away at the beginning of the year and suffered a heavy fall.
"Don't be frivolous. You have just recovered your rank now, and you have to wait and see." Concubine Hui sighed softly and warned Yanzhu, "You and I are both people in the palace. If we don't have anything to do with them, we can still be in the palace.
There is a place to stand in this world. If we have to get entangled together, either one will prosper or both will suffer, do you understand?"
Yanzhu responded continuously: "I understand that I will do whatever the empress orders me to do. I feel that the light in the mansion is also dimming now. I am afraid that I will not have any contact with the empress for a while, and I am afraid that the emperor will keep an eye on me, right?"
Concubine Hui nodded and sighed: "The only hope I have now is the eldest brother's child. If Dafujin can give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, that will be the best way to gain a foothold."
Yanzhu came closer and said: "My dear, look, do you want the emperor's eldest grandson to do this?"
Concubine Hui's brows trembled, she stared at Yanzhu nervously, and scolded in a low voice: "Are you going to die?"
Yanzhu was not afraid, and was full of scheming ideas. He said softly: "It's good that the queen understands in her heart. What's important is that I can give you a stable position now, and I can give my eldest brother a stable position. With a child, who knows what will happen in the future? What if?"
Dafu Jin has given birth to a little princess, and the brothers are still too young to be afraid of them catching up, but you have to know that the first one who can catch up is the prince."
Concubine Hui's face turned livid, and the look in her eyes became heavier and heavier. There was still a trace of fear in her eyes, and she shook her head gently: "We'll discuss it later."
On that day, in addition to the news that Nalan Mingzhu was reinstated, another incident that made people angry and jealous also did not stop. The emperor had been abstinent for nearly half a year, but he was still enjoying himself in Yonghe Palace. The women were so angry.
Even though she was mad and unable to exert herself, Concubine Yi from the Yikun Palace pointed at Zhang and promised that she was not using it to vent her anger. However, before her temper was finished, Eunuch Liang came over holding a lacquered wooden plate covered with yellow satin.
"This was brought to the palace in the morning. Long live the Lord just read the post and asked the servant to deliver it to the empress first." Eunuch Liang was very flattering and polite. His task was to make Concubine Yi happy. He opened the yellow silk satin and spread it underneath.
He bought all kinds of exquisite and delicate rouge boxes, some of which were jade or gold, or golden and blue, or azure after rain. Eunuch Liang asked the little eunuch to hold them, opened a box of red cream and handed it to Concubine Yi.
Said, "Rouge from Jiangnan."
Concubine Yi glanced at it and said calmly: "It's okay for everyone in the palace. Just try to coax me. Did you really just come this morning? Didn't the emperor take it to Yonghe Palace last night?"
Eunuch Liang smiled and said: "How dare I lie? It's all the wish of the Long Live Lord. If your Majesty doesn't believe in me, then you don't believe in the Emperor?"
Concubine Yi secretly swallowed the saliva in her throat, cleared her throat and said, "I understand, follow Tao Hong to receive the reward."
