441 Do you want a noble concubine or an imperial concubine?
Lan Qi nodded and agreed, seeing that Qinglian was just helping Tong Concubine to rest somewhere else instead of leaving. She knew that the sisters were reluctant to separate for a while, just like Queen Niu Hulu and Little Concubine Wen. Unfortunately, Concubine Wen was already crazy now.
Silly, I don’t know what kind of fate Tong Bin will have in the future.
When I stepped through the door, I felt a chill in my body. The weather was already a bit unbearably hot. I don't know whether it was due to the desolate atmosphere or the lack of life of the owner of the house. The imperial concubine's bedroom was very cold.
The sickly person was leaning under the window. The window was half open. She could see the sky outside. When she heard the footsteps, she did not look back to Lan Qi. She just said to herself: "The weather is really bad."
Okay, I really want to go for a walk outside."
Lan Qi smiled: "When you get well, I will accompany you to the garden. The bamboo pavilion in Fengxuan of Changchun Garden is a good place to enjoy the cool air. Looking at the situation this year, I am afraid it will be even hotter than last year."
.”
The imperial concubine then looked at her and said disdainfully: "When it comes to that, I remember what you said, what a pity that Fengqi Wuluan stops bamboo. I am like this now, how can I still have the queen's life?"
I disappoint you."
"Mom, please be more optimistic. Sickness can always be cured..."
"No need to coax me, I can see for myself." The imperial concubine smiled, turned away and continued to look out the window, "Whether it's retribution or punishment, you can't change the destiny set by God. I did it when I was young.
It's time to pay for your sins."
"Why do you have to say that?" Lan Qi couldn't bear it.
"It's the most ridiculous thing for you to say." The imperial concubine frowned in disgust, as if she didn't want to see Lan Qi, and said bitterly with her face behind her back, "It's the most ridiculous thing for you to say, even though you were bullied like that by me.
Abuse, it is obvious that we should be incompatible, but you have become my great benefactor, allowing me to live the happiest life in ten years, making me feel guilty for you all my life, and I will never be able to hold my head up in front of you."
Saying these words in one breath, the imperial concubine felt very hard and collapsed on the pillow, panting. Lan Qi quickly came forward and asked if she wanted a drink of water and asked if she wanted to call the imperial doctor. After a while, the imperial concubine's face softened and she stared at her and said
: "Did you hear what I said?"
Lan Qi was startled and nodded silently, but when she raised her eyes again, she saw that the imperial concubine's eyes were filled with tears, and her face, which was not very red at all, turned red. She sobbed a little, but did not cry after all. She was very unconvinced.
He turned around and said, "I can't owe you too much in this life. I won't be able to pay you back in the next life. Who knows if I will become your slave and let you beat and scold me all day long."
Lan Qi was very patient and said with a smile: "Who is who in the next life? Do you remember your previous life? What matters most is that you will have a better life in this life."
"What do you want? The status of a noble concubine is still that of an imperial concubine. The queen may not be able to achieve it, or gold and silver? Don't you love money very much and are very stingy?" The imperial concubine suddenly said this and further explained.
, "If you want the position of imperial concubine or imperial concubine, as long as I speak to the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree. In his heart, he may even want to give you the position of queen. It is a pity that I am here and there are courtiers who cannot agree to these things.
, he had to compromise and give up. But if I help you say it, he will be extremely happy. With my support, the emperor will have more confidence to face the ministers. "
"For the position of the queen, there is only one person in the emperor's heart, and that is the empress. I am from a humble background, how dare I ask for the position of a noble concubine, the imperial concubine." Lan Qi is very calm, she understands the emperor's concubine's thoughts, but her heart is her own. She knows that she
The future of the concubine has reached its peak. Where her background is, the situation of the four concubines is similar. The only thing she is better than others is to win Xuan Ye's heart. A lovely heart is not enough for her to win those few
It is an extremely lofty position. Those positions cannot be occupied by the emperor's will.
"You say these useless words again, do you think I am a three-year-old child?" The imperial concubine sneered, but she was still calm at last. She sighed, looked at Lan Qi seriously and said, "Let me do something for you.
Anything is fine, no matter what the outcome, I don’t have to force it, as long as I try my best, I can offset the sins of this life.”
"Concubine, there is nothing..."
"Do you hope that in the future, Yinzhen will know what happened when we were young and despise me as a mother-in-law?" The tears of the imperial concubine fell suddenly. The child is the weakest and strongest place in her heart. "Let me do it for you."
Please tell Yinzhen about these things in the future, I didn't just bully you, don't let him look down on me in the future."
When she mentioned the child, Lan Qi's eyebrows were red, and she felt sour and sad in her heart, almost crying. She took a deep breath to adjust her emotions, and she could hear the imperial concubine asking: "Is there anything you want? Think about it carefully.
think."
"I want Zhang to agree to it." Lan Qi calmed down and said to the imperial concubine seriously: "If your Majesty really wants to do something for me, can you please help me to bring Zhang to agree to come out of Yikun Palace? Of course.
I don't dare to put her next to my concubine, as long as I can leave Yikun Palace and no longer let her be at the mercy of Concubine Yi."
The imperial concubine was a little dazed when she heard that, and she said angrily for no reason: "You are still a good person, can you be selfish for a while, and can you make me feel a little superior in front of you? What is this, and what does it have to do with you?"
However, Lan Qi knelt down and begged: "If you don't mention it, I will not dare to mention it. I have been planning this matter, but I don't know how to do it without causing too many people to tear their faces. After all, the dignity and harmony of the harem are related to the emperor."
and the imperial court. My concubine has made Zhang agree to suffer torture in Yikun Palace for her own selfish desires, and now she wants her to leave. She also doesn’t want to feel guilty in the future, and she doesn’t want to bear a lifetime of regrets. Isn’t this selfish?”
"She was abused by Concubine Yi?" The imperial concubine frowned, "But you are not against each other..."
Before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine understood why Zhang agreed to go to Yikun Palace. She hummed and said with a smile that she couldn't tell that Concubine De had such deep intentions. After sighing for a long time, she was satisfied and said: "You
Let me think about what to do, and if I try hard enough, I will help you move her away from Yikun Palace."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Then you have to remember my goodness for the rest of your life, and remember that in the future..." The man who was full of momentum just now became softer at this moment, and his voice was a little trembling, "I don't expect you to say how good I am in front of Yinzhen.
Okay, I understand that I am not a good person, but please look at the fact that I have raised him in the past ten years and don’t let him hate me."
Lan Qi consoled her: "Mother, I would not do that. Brother Si likes you so much."
The imperial concubine shook her head and smiled weakly: "But he will grow up. When he grows up, he will understand the things of adults. When he hears about the past, he will understand that I am not a good person. This is my own fault.
"
"Your Majesty, if you say this, Fourth Brother is so pitiful." Lan Qi advised, "I just gave birth to him. Even if I live in the future, I can't replace everything you gave him in the past ten years."
The imperial concubine looked at Lan Qi and was speechless for a moment. Lan Qi said with a smile: "Our emperor, every time he thinks back to his childhood, he sighs and sighs with sadness and regret in his words. But when our fourth brother grows up in the future, think about it.
When he was a child, he could even laugh out loud in his dreams. You gave him the best ten years. I dare not call myself my biological mother, but I am sincerely grateful to you."
The imperial concubine burst into tears and choked with sobs as she said, "But I want to spend more time with him, but I can't..."
Lan Qi said with tears: "But no one can replace the past ten years."
A sad atmosphere permeated the dormitory, and neither of them could speak anymore. Lan Qi was even more worried that the imperial concubine's physical condition would get worse if she was too stressed out, so she said goodbye soon after and was about to leave. But as soon as she turned around, she heard the imperial concubine shouting.
Lived her.
Turning around, he saw that the imperial concubine was not looking at him, but looking out the window intently, and slowly said from her mouth: "I will do it for you as Zhang promised. If you have a good idea, you can come at any time."
Tell me, you know, I'm not as smart as you."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Thank you." The imperial concubine's voice suddenly became calm and relaxed, as if she had thrown away a lifetime of baggage, "Wu Yalanqi, thank you, thank you for giving me the best ten years."
This sentence touched the heartstrings. Lan Qi bit her lip, fearing that she would cry. After bowing deeply, she immediately left the main hall and stood in front of the door, covering her mouth and feeling sad for a while.
Qinglian came from the side hall and saw Empress De Fei like this, so she asked with a smile: "Empress, please come and see the master often these days. The master can only talk to you in this palace. She is alone."
It’s so lonely in the house.”
"I know, I will come here often these days." Lan Qi nodded and agreed, looking at the place where Tong Bin rested, and then told Qinglian, "I'm afraid that Tong Bin will not want to leave, so let her live in Chengdu these days.
Qian Palace, I will send someone to report to the Queen Mother."
After arranging some things and ironing the papers, Lan Qi left Chengqian Palace. Not long after returning to Yonghe Palace, Huan Chun also came back. She walked away with Xiao Hezi and went to her elder brother's house to give a message to Aunt Sumala.
When she came back now, the master had forgotten about this incident, but Huan Chun reminded her: "Empress, Xiao Hezi and the servant talked about something about the fourth elder brother."
Lan Qi suddenly remembered what happened just now and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Yinzhen?"
At the end of school that day, all the elder brothers dispersed from the study room. Yinzhen and Xiaohezi were walking behind. They heard someone outside saying: "Good luck to the Imperial Concubine."
Xiao Hezi took a few glances before running away, and when he came back he said to Si Age: "Empress De Fei is outside."
Yinzhen frowned slightly, stood there and didn't know what to think. He suddenly turned around and was about to go back to the study. Xiao Hezi was surprised and didn't dare to persuade him, but after taking two steps, he heard a gentle voice calling: "Yinzhen, where are you going?"
?”
"Brother Si, Concubine De is calling you." Xiao Hezi quickly blocked his master's way.
Yinzhen glared at him and turned around slowly, without raising his head to look at his mother. He just bowed and said, "Good luck to Concubine De."
