"My new and old loves are all my favorites. How can you be inferior to them? What's more, who are they and who are you?" Lan Qi gave Yi Fei enough face. Since they came to show their goodwill today, she asked her to go back happily.
yes.
Concubine Yi is indeed someone who is easy to coax, not to mention that she has always felt that Concubine De can't talk to her. She wants to curry favor with her to please the emperor, but at the same time she is worried that her hot face will stick to her cold butt. Today, she is so kind, and she feels relieved, and the chat box is open.
I couldn't stop it. I still had the same temper as before. After talking for a long time, I didn't know how it hurt Lan Qi's waist. She sighed: "Last night, Long live the Lord told me that this matter has come to an end. He said that it was the person who was on guard.
Accidentally, more than one wild wolf was let in. After that day, the guards searched everywhere and killed one in the west, which was really scary."
But then he said to Lan Qi mysteriously: "Long live the Lord, it is better not to publicize this matter. It seems that the security around the emperor is not strict, so tell me not to tell others, Sister De Fei, have you heard about it today?"
That’s it.”
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing, feeling like a mirror in her heart. Xuan Ye had arranged the words to tell Yi Fei in the hope that she would spread the word everywhere. Anyway, the next time Yi Fei spoke to others, she would also say "I've heard it before."
"", when those people go back to tell others, they will definitely not forget to mention this sentence. Everyone feels that if they mention this sentence, it does not count as saying it themselves.
No wonder the Empress Dowager told her early in the morning that there were never secrets in the Forbidden City. Now it seems that Changchun Garden in the Forbidden City is like this, and it is the same everywhere in the world. Only God knows and the earth knows, and what you know is the real secret.
Not long after that, as Lan Qi expected, it was concluded that she was attacked by a wolf. It had nothing to do with the prince, let alone the eldest brother. Anyway, it was a wild wolf that ran in for some reason, and she was unlucky to bump into it.
Xuan Ye came to explain to Lan Qi in person afterwards that outsiders would not know what the two of them said behind closed doors, and Lan Qi would not keep her mouth shut like Concubine Yi.
The days passed by day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was already April, when the spring flowers were blooming, Prince Fujin officially entered the palace. Before the tenth day of April, the Emperor accompanied the Queen Mother and returned to the Forbidden City. After all, Changchun Garden was not a formal palace, although it was just for Fujin.
It also marked that the prince had grown up. The emperor was not too hasty, and all the ceremonies were held back in the palace. The concubines accompanied him back to the palace to watch the ceremony. Naturally, the princesses also went to congratulate the prince.
Only Lan Qi was unable to walk too far in a carriage due to her back injury, and was asked by Xuan Ye to stay in Changchun Garden to recuperate. However, they returned to Changchun Garden in late April, and this time more people came with them.
The concubines and the prince also moved into Wuyizhai with their side Fujin.
The prince's wife, Li Jia, is one year younger than the prince. She was the one chosen by the Empress Dowager among the many candidates for the show in the past. Although Lan Qi was with her at that time, she had already had a vague impression that Fujin had come here specifically that day.
I greeted her and saw a very unfamiliar face.
However, the family must have taught her carefully in the past two years. Fujin's behavior was calm and generous, and her words and smiles showed the nobility of everyone's daughter. Lan Qi saw the hidden arrogance in her eyes, and she must also care about the position of the crown princess in her heart.
Although she is only ranked second to the side of Fujin, she is much better than many people who cannot even enter the Wuyizhai Yuqing Palace. She is only one step away from the crown princess. If she works hard, she may not be unable to become the queen in the future.
Lan Qi and Xi Fujin could not talk for more than half a moment when there was a bustle outside and someone came. Concubine Yi came with many concubines and said that she could not talk to Xi Fujin well in the palace. There were no more rules in the garden than in the palace, so she asked her
Relax, and said that the scenery in Changchun Garden is beautiful. She must not be familiar with it when she first arrived, so she wanted to go for a walk in the garden together. Lan Qi has been able to walk around these days, and seeing Fujin is also surprised by the scenery in the garden. As an elder, it is better to be easy-going.
, and agreed.
A crowd of people came, and the women were in full bloom. The scenery was no less beautiful than the one in the garden. They wandered around the scenery. When they arrived in front of the gate of Chengluxuan, Fujin smiled and said, "This courtyard has a good name. I don't know who it is."
Your Majesty is here, I should go and say hello."
"How many empresses are there in the palace?" Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Wang Changzai lives here. She has a low status, so Fujin does not need to salute her."
While he was talking, the gate of Chengluxuan opened, and a palace maid came out. Immediately, he saw Wang Chang coming in a peach red spring dress, saying hello to all the empresses, saying that he didn't know that everyone was waiting in front of the door to greet him from afar.
Xi Fujin stepped forward to say hello, no matter how humble Chang was, she was still the emperor's concubine, the elder of her and the prince, so she had to pay attention to etiquette, but she didn't know that she and Wang Chang were standing together at such a station, and they were calling the mothers behind her.
The concubines felt sour in their hearts.
The women had known that Wang Changzai was young, and now they saw her and Xi Fujin standing together. Although they were a few years apart, they looked like they were of average age, and many of them were already thirty or even on their way to forty.
How can I be calm in my heart?
"Zi Fujin seems to like Cheng Luxuan very much. We have never been to the garden before. Why don't Wang Changzai invite us in for a cup of tea?" Someone mentioned this, and many people agreed and actually surrounded Xiu Fujin.
So he broke in, and Wang Changzai couldn't stop him. He saw Concubine De and Concubine Yi standing still, so he came forward to invite them.
A group of people entered the door and looked around regardless. Wang Changzai did not dare to say anything. He respectfully welcomed Lan Qi and Concubine Yi and sat down in the main room. The palace maid brought tea. She stopped and scolded: "Your Majesty, you are here.
I also offer this tea, and go and get the incense tablets that the emperor rewarded the day before yesterday."
Concubine Yi pretended to be generous and said nonchalantly: "Just sit down and go, just take a sip, just drink this tea. I'm thirsty. I haven't seen all the spring scenery, and summer is coming.
After walking around, my throat started to burn."
The palace maid quickly poured tea for the two empresses and brought it to their eyes. Both Lan Qi and Yi Fei smelled a burnt aroma. Yi Fei was surprised and said: "You are roasting barley tea and drinking it now? It's not hot yet."
Wang Changzai bowed his head and said: "I am not used to drinking plain water, and I don't dare to drink too much tea for fear that I will not be able to sleep at night. Once in the palace, I ate too much and my stomach was full. Sister Yuan gave me this kind of barley tea."
I came to eat it and fell in love with it. Now I drink this tea every day.”
Yi Fei took two sips, but she was not used to it after all. Lan Qi took a polite sip and felt something was wrong. She took another sip and looked up to see that Wang Changzai's face was as usual. Yi Fei was also no different, so she put it down calmly.
.
The women walked around outside and didn't see anything strange about Cheng Luxuan. It was only because the emperor rested here every now and then that they were curious about what was different about the concubine's house. Naturally, they were bullying Wang Chang Zai for being weak, so they didn't dare to run there.
Ruijingxuan or Yonghe Palace are so presumptuous.
After making a fuss for a while, everyone left and wandered elsewhere. Afterwards, Ningchundang sent a message to Xiang Fujin to come over for a meal, so everyone dispersed.
When Lan Qi returned to Ruijingxuan, she was already so tired that her back ached. She lay down and let Huan Chun rub her for a while, then said tiredly: "I really want them to come and make trouble with me from time to time. I'm too lazy to do it."
If you walk a lot like this, but if you don't, your legs and feet will become useless." Then he told Huan Chun, "Take me out for a walk tomorrow."
Huan Chun said with a smile: "My slave, I won't let you go out for a walk someday. You just said that there are many people in the garden now and you don't want to meet anyone."
The two of them chatted together, mentioning that the emperor had brought more concubines back this time. They all knew that Concubine Rong had not taken care of it. Anyway, she would go back to the palace to hold the wedding of Princess Chunxi on the fifteenth day of next month.
, just drive them back when the time comes. Huan Chun brought it up and said: "They are all people brought back from Jiangnan. Long live the Lord's treatment of Wang Changzai and Yuan Zheng are very different. The first Yuan promised to confinement but did not come.
Still didn’t come back.”
Lan Qi somehow remembered the tea she drank at Chengluxuan today, and called Yukui to ask her if Ruijingxuan had fried wheat tea. Yukui said that it was not hot yet, who would drink this, but when her master asked for it, she said to look for it.
Look. After going out for a while, she came back. Lan Qi asked her to make a pot to drink. Sure enough, it had the same burnt aroma as the one she drank in Cheng Luxuan, but there was a subtle difference in the mouth. Although it had been more than ten years ago,
However, when Lan Qi was a girl at home, everyone in her family drank barley tea to relieve the heat in the summer. Even after she became a concubine, she was very familiar with the taste of barley tea.
Yukui didn't know what her master was going to do. After drinking wheat tea, she asked her if she had cassia seeds. She went to the imperial doctor's office to find them for her master. She also quoted the doctor's words: "Cassia seeds are too cold and can harm the uterus. The queen should be careful when taking them."
."
But after brewing the tea, Yukui and Huanchun finally understood their master's intention. Unexpectedly, the tea brewed from Cassia Seed was not only the same in color as wheat tea, but also had almost the same aroma and taste. If you don't distinguish carefully, it would be easy to get them confused.
.
Lan Qi said solemnly: "Last year, the Empress Dowager had too much food, and the imperial doctor sent her cassia seed tea for catharsis. I didn't understand and asked if it was barley tea, and then I knew the difference. The imperial doctor also told me not to take it casually. Cassia seed tea is cold and is the most harmful to the patient.
Palace body."
Huan Chun asked: "But why does the empress remember it now?"
"I was drinking tea at Chengluxuan today, and I felt that the taste was wrong. Wang Changzai said that she drinks tea like this every day. Now that I think about it, she probably drank tea made from cassia seeds instead of barley tea." Lan Qi shook her head.
He sighed and said, "No wonder she is so favored. The Ministry of Internal Affairs often keeps records, but there has been no news about the heir."
Huan Chun and Yu Kui were shocked. Yu Kui asked, "Wang Chang Zai doesn't understand?"
Lan Qi said: "She said that Yuan promised to give her wheat tea at first, and later Yuan promised to send it to her often. I don't understand whether it is true or false, but she has never had good news. It is true.
fact."
Huanchun said softly: "What are you going to do, do you want to tell Wang Changzai?"
Lan Qi frowned, obviously unable to make up her mind at the moment, and shook her head: "Tell her, the sisters will definitely turn against each other, but it won't be good if this continues."
Yu Kui murmured: "It would be nice for Wang Chang not to have children."
