Sick and haggard and bruised and embarrassed, Wang's beauty was marred, making Lan Qi vaguely remember the beauty of the past, as if beauty in this deep palace was a sin. The beautiful Queen Xiaoyi died young, and the voluptuous Queen Xiaoyi died young.
Ping Gui was hated by everyone, and the powerful Jue Chan family had to go through ups and downs several times before they found the stability they have today. There was another one in front of them, struggling with their fate, not knowing what the future would hold.
However, Lan Qi had no sympathy for her, not only because Xuan Ye was interested in her beauty and acted selfishly, but also because of the things that happened time and time again, which made her feel that Wang Changzai was definitely not a kind person, and that the beautiful woman
Flowers all have thorns.
"Let the imperial doctor take care of you later. There won't be any scars. You are still very young. Take good care of your body and you will get better." Lan Qi said calmly, restrained her somewhat intimidating momentum, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is very fond of you."
Why, you know better than anyone else, so this time it is over. In the future, you will continue to serve him with all your heart. I am here just to remind you that the rules in the palace can be compared to
You can be more harsh than you imagine, or you can be so tolerant as to forgive all your sins. Life or death, good or bad, all depends on your master's word or thought. It doesn't matter whether you are from Jiangnan or Mobei.
At the gate of the Forbidden City, you are the emperor's woman. You must put him first in everything. Don't even think about the things he doesn't let you do. I won't say these words to you a second time. Remember them.
There are so many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don’t mind having one more concubine in the palace, nor am I afraid of missing one.”
"Empress, I don't dare to do it anymore." Wang Changzai said with tears in his eyes, pursed his lips, looked at Lan Qi and said, "But I have no power to resist my concubine, concubine, I can't even guard against Yuan Xiong.
Come on, if the empress hadn't replaced the cassia seeds for me, I would still be..."
Lan Qi frowned slightly, remembering this matter, and looked at Huan Chun. Neither the master nor the servant expected that Wang Changzai had noticed it, and she was crying: "About the letter, although I meant it, I
Because, I really didn’t know that it was such a big sin. Regarding Yuan Zheng, I have never done anything sorry to her, but she did that to me."
"It's all over. You will be fine from now on. The Emperor cannot let go of your beauty. Otherwise, you would have had no way of living for such a big sin. Cherish what you have and don't waste it anymore." Lan Qi said calmly.
Say, get up and leave.
Wang Changzai said anxiously: "Empress, please let me leave Kaixiang Palace. Please, I can't live here."
Lan Qi said coldly: "The emperor has given you a gift to live in the Sixth Palace of the East and West. Do you know that many of the old people in the palace still live in the corners of the courtyard? Besides, you really want to leave, and you will see the emperor later.
Please beg him, but I advise you to save yourself the trouble. The emperor keeps you here just to keep you in mind of the stupid things you have done, and not to be complacent and carried away in the future. For your long-term good,
There is no better place to spend your days than Qixiang Palace."
Wang Changzai was so desperate that he burst into tears and said: "I am afraid of my concubine..."
Lan Qi said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? As long as you serve the emperor well and regain your former glory, she dares to deceive you? You know best what is going on in many things. Wang Chang is here, don't say that our sisters are older than you
, I have been in the palace longer than you, and even if I am the same age as you or even younger than you, my mind may not be inferior to yours. Don’t always think that you are the smartest person in the world.”
Wang's face was pale and speechless. Lan Qi was about to leave, but after walking away for a few steps, she turned back and said to her: "You probably have to remember in your heart that I didn't help you and treated you badly. Don't worry, in this palace
There are more than one or two people who hate me, and I won’t care if you are one more person.”
Wang Changzai seemed to be frightened, and Huanchun who was following him was also startled. Her master had never said such things. After coming out in silence, Lan Qi saw that she looked nervous and laughed instead.
: "Am I particularly domineering today?"
Huan Chun helped his mother-in-law walk to the main hall while smiling: "Actually, you are majestic enough if you don't speak now. I can't remember when the changes started. When I woke up, I found that the master was very different from before.
.”
Lan Qi said: "I really want to ask the Queen Mother to see what I look like now."
The master and servants talked and came to the main hall. The concubine was already standing in front of the door waiting. After all, she was the concubine's empress. Even if she was not favored, she still had a lot of honors. Look at the furnishings in Qixiang Palace.
It is more gorgeous than Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Xi didn't know what Concubine De had said to Mrs. Wang in the East Wing Hall, and she thought that Concubine De was going to sue her for torturing her.
Much more ruthless. From the moment she knew that Concubine De was coming to the moment she was sitting in front of her door, Concubine Xi had been feeling uneasy, fearing that Concubine De would question her about her sins as soon as she opened her mouth.
Lan Qi drank tea and praised Xi Concubine for the good tea here. She talked for a long time without talking about the topic. Xi Concubine felt that since she and De Concubine were together in the Forbidden City, all the words they had said together were not as good as today.
There are so many people, and it's amazing to say that people who live in the same imperial city can actually not interact with each other for more than ten years.
"Wang Changzai is not in good health. I will send the imperial doctor to check her out later. She is the one the emperor likes and she is young. We should take more care of her." Finally Lan Qi mentioned the Wang family and the concubine lowered her head.
He responded softly, "I was negligent."
"Now it's time for us to teach young people. The emperor trusts you, so he placed Wang Changzai in Qixiang Palace. From now on, the rules that should be taught are still indispensable. But she is the favored one, so you should be more tactful in your words.
, otherwise your good intentions will be resented by her, and the emperor will misunderstand you." Lan Qi smiled softly and said to Xi concubine affectionately, "If you have any grievances in the future, just come to Yonghe Palace and tell me. Young people will inevitably be favored.
As for arrogance and disobedience to discipline, look at how many times Pinggui has been beaten before he is as good as he is today. I think Wang Changzai is the same, so please be more patient."
Concubine Xi looked at Concubine De blankly. Even Concubine Rong came to ask her to accuse her of going too far. How come Concubine De said these words in Concubine De's mouth, poking at the weakness in her heart every word?
It evoked her sorrow of being depressed for more than ten years, and her eyes became hot as she listened to it.
Lan Qi knew that Xi Concubine had always been close to Changchun Palace. Whatever she said in Qixiang Palace today, Concubine Hui would know when she turned around. And whether Xi Concubine could understand her true intentions or not, Concubine Hui would definitely be able to understand these words.
Understand that Concubine Hui will tell Xi Concubine that she is not to be trifled with.
After that, Lan Qi felt aggrieved for Xi Concubine, both internally and externally. Xi Concubine knew it late and wished she could follow Empress De Fei from now on. She worshiped her so much that she fell head over heels in love with her. However, Lan Qi would not let her get close to her easily. She was always in the palace.
There will probably be no more guests in the room in our lifetime.
But she gave the concubines enough face, and agreed to say something to the two equally frustrated women. She did not blame them at all for bullying Wang Changzai, but just talked in the usual way, and asked them what they lacked or wanted, so that she could do her best.
Because of their thoughtfulness, the gossip lasted for a full hour, and the snow stopped outside.
Huan Chun finally came to urge his master to go back, and then he brought a big cloak to wait on him. Xiangyue who was in front of the door ran and said: "Someone sent a message to Yonghe Palace, saying that Ping Guiren had fetal movement, and the doctors were treating him. He asked the master if he had come over.
.”
Qixiang Palace was very close to Ping Guiren's residence. Lan Qi knew that she should go there and take a look. Seeing Xi's concubine beside her with a curious face, she said, "Let's go together."
Concubine Xi was excited that Concubine De was willing to take her in and out. She quickly called the palace maid to bring her cloak and wanted to follow Concubine De out. The group of people went to Ping Guiren's courtyard, where several imperial doctors were already waiting.
The pregnant woman on the couch was extremely weak. Ping Gui was very put on weight. Her limbs were thick and her waist was plump. Her chin was folded up. The high bulging belly made it difficult to breathe. Xi Bin had no experience in giving birth and could not see.
If there were any clues, she would just assume that pregnant women generally gain weight, but Lan Qi knew at a glance that Ping Gui was not good, and there was great fear in the pregnant woman's seemingly strong eyes.
Because the imperial doctor said that it was okay and just let Mr. Ping take care of himself, Lan Qi quietly left with the concubines and separated on the way. She went straight back to Yonghe Palace and then called the imperial doctor again and asked seriously: "Is this the case for Mr. Ping?"
If we go down, I’m afraid I won’t even have the strength to survive. What will you do then?”
The imperial doctor looked nervous, hemming and hawing for a long time, and finally said: "Don't worry, Madam, the emperor has repeatedly told you to keep Ping Guiren's fetus. I will carry out the work according to the decree and don't dare to be careless."
Lan Qi heard something in the words and saw the deep meaning in the eyes of the imperial doctor, so she knew that the emperor had some tacit understanding with them that no one could know. She didn't dare to ask any more questions and let the imperial doctor go.
After Huanchun saw off the guests, he brought the boiled walnut juice to Lan Qi to drink to keep away the cold. Lan Qi said that she drank a lot of tea in Qixiang Palace and didn't want to drink anymore. Her words seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be asking Huan Qi.
Chun: "What do you think the emperor is thinking? He raised Ping Guiren to be like this, and why did he say that he wanted to save the fetus? If she continues like this, she will probably die..."
"Your Majesty." Huan Chun had attended her mistress's delivery several times, and she knew how to do it, but she said calmly, "This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Yes." Lan Qi suddenly said calmly and calmly, "It has nothing to do with us. It is his woman and his... child."
Little Hesheli's pregnancy has been particularly strange from the beginning. Her first attitude was obviously that she was afraid that someone would harm her, but for several months the emperor asked the medical doctor to keep the child. I don't know if there are many things hidden here.
There are secrets that she cannot touch. She cannot lose to her soft-heartedness again and again. She cannot let her kindness become too cheap. Whatever Ping Guiren wants, let her fend for herself.
But one of the pregnant women was in such bad condition, so Lan Qi naturally had to worry about the other two. While sending people out of the palace to go to Aling'a's house to ask how her sister was doing, she asked Huan Chun to make arrangements. She wanted to go and see Xing'er in person.
, the imperial doctor said that Zhang promised to be born on the first day of the first lunar month, and it looked like there wouldn’t be many days left.
