522 Weddings are held according to the rules and there are still
"What are you doing with all the effort? They should laugh at me. I'm still very young." Xuan Ye turned his face and said lazily, "When you hurt your waist back then, it also hurt like this?"
Lan Qi nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked: "Is it hot? Do you want to put some ice in the house?"
Xuan Ye groaned and closed his eyes with a tired look on his face. It was probably because his waist was too comfortable, and once his stretched body softened, he fell asleep.
Lan Qi covered him with a gauze quilt and had several jars of ice cubes brought in. Once the room became cooler, the people on the couch felt even more comfortable. Lan Qi and Lan Qi kept talking to each other and gradually fell asleep.
.I didn’t wake up until about midnight. When I woke up, my body was a little numb from lying on my stomach for too long. I also smelled the fragrant smell of beans, and there was continuous warmth on my waist.
Lan Qi sat dozing off at the end of the kang. When the emperor moved, she woke up. Seeing Xuan Ye's clumsy movements, she came over to help him turn over.
He took something like a small pillow from his body and smelled a strong aroma. He asked her what it was. Lan Qi smiled and said: "Huanchun roasted the beans and put them in his pocket for you to apply hot compress on. He said they wouldn't get cold, so as not to hurt the minister."
I fished for hand towels in the boiling water again and again."
Xuan Ye remembered that and motioned for Lan Qi to come closer. Seeing that her hands were still red from being burned, he said with distress, "Why are they still so red?"
Lan Qi joked: "She's so delicate, isn't she? Huan Chun said she couldn't retreat for two or three days, so she was lucky not to get burned. What can I do? Seeing how hard people are working so hard makes me anxious, and I can still reach out even if I fish it into the pan.
.”
Xuan Ye glared at her, held Lan Qi's hand and rubbed it gently, and then heard her say: "When you fell asleep, I checked the records of these days. I thought you were too diligent, but the emperor is really
I've been idle for a long time. Did you see that Tian'er summoned Wang Changzai and just asked her to accompany her?"
Xuan Ye nodded silently. When Lan Qi saw that he was silent and knew that he didn't want to mention it, he asked if he was hungry and asked Huan Chun to bring soup. Xuan Ye felt better after eating, but instead he was advised: "Have a good rest."
After sleeping, Eunuch Liang said, you haven't slept well these days because of your back pain. Ordinarily, how can the people of Qianqing Palace not serve you well? Don't be too scrupulous, Your Majesty. Let them serve you, whether it is palace maids or eunuchs. You are like this, Liang
It’s very difficult to be a father-in-law. If something happens to the dragon’s body, their lives will be at risk.”
"I know." Xuan Ye agreed, holding Lan Qi's hand and not letting go. The two were silent for a long time before he said, "It would be great if you didn't care about the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Now you are also busy. You used to be in the Imperial Palace."
Before my grandmother, the imperial grandmother would have driven you to come to me, but now you are so entangled with trivial matters and there are so many children that you can’t leave."
The words were spoken with such warmth and softness that Lan Qi found it strange. She stood up and touched Xuan Ye's head. She didn't feel any heat, but instead was blamed: "You think I'm sick and what I'm talking about is nonsense?"
Lan Qi said seriously: "After all, it's not like what the emperor said."
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "I'm tired."
Hearing these three words, she felt distressed, and suddenly realized the helplessness of the person in front of her. He was not a man of steel, so of course he would be tired.
"Then go to sleep, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here with you." Lan Qi's voice was soft, as if she was coaxing a child, and when she looked at Xuan Ye at the moment, she felt that he was like a coquettish child.
, that’s why I was worried about whether he was sick just now.
Eunuch Liang said that the emperor was very busy every day. Although Wang Changzai often went to Qianqing Palace, she would mostly wait in the side hall. If she came at night, she would sit in the bedroom until midnight. But the emperor treated her very well. Not bad, there was nothing unpleasant between the two of them, and Wang Changzai seemed willing to maintain such a superficial life.
But originally it was Lan Qi who mentioned Wang Chang Zai's matter. Seeing that Xuan Ye didn't want to talk about it, she stopped asking. Now that she wanted to avoid those things, Xuan Ye took the initiative to talk about it. There was no sign of like or dislike on his face, he just said : "She can never be compared with you, or anyone else, so don't worry too much. I often leave her in Qianqing Palace, just to make the life in the palace look normal to outsiders. She knows her better than anyone now." Don't worry about current affairs with her, others may not be so smart."
"Your Majesty, please take it easy. Over time, resentment will inevitably arise." Lan Qi advised nonchalantly, still wanting to avoid the topic, while Xuan Ye just wanted to explain clearly and had other serious matters to discuss with Lan. Qi discussed it and said: "You have to make a decision on two things. Once you have thought about it, tell me and I will make arrangements."
Xuan Ye slowly talked about it. It turned out that he did not come here just to let Lan Qi take care of her injuries. There were other important things to talk about. One was that the Zhangjia family raised the little princess. She was just a promise, but it was not in line with the rules after all. Furthermore, Concubine Ping To this day, some people are still trying to find out the truth. Concubine De and Zhang promised to be the parties involved. Only when the emperor treats them better can outsiders retreat.
There is no need to say much about the emperor's favor to Concubine De, but there are still many things that can be done to agree with Zhang. For example, she has not touched the position for so many years. As a person who has given birth to three children, it is reasonable and reasonable for her to be promoted to a higher position. Again There is one thing. After October, Queen Xiaoyi's filial piety period has expired for twenty-seven months, and the fourth elder brother's wedding can be held. However, the third elder brother also got married in the same year, so Xuan Ye asked Lan Qi to discuss with Concubine Rong. , pick an auspicious day in November or December and let them get married together.
Lan Qi just joked: "Although I am overjoyed, I still thought that to organize a grand wedding for Yinzhen, it must be the wish of Queen Xiaoyi. Now that the two brothers are together, although it is lively, there will always be It feels a bit like dealing with it.”
Xuan Ye asked: "What do you think?"
Lan Qi shook her head: "I only thought about what the Queen would wish for. I didn't think about it. Now I can't figure out whose wish it is."
"Then follow the rules. It doesn't matter if it's a grand wedding. What matters is whether the young couple can stay together for a long time. My Amma is the best example." The emperor smiled bitterly, "Now, I dare to accuse the late emperor."
"You can't say this outside." Lan Qi was very serious.
"In the early years when the Queen was still here, I thought that Yinzhen's wedding would be extravagant and extravagant, but I didn't know how to persuade her. I didn't expect that she would leave before the words of persuasion were uttered." Xuan Ye's eyes reflected. There was a touch of sadness, "It's easier to handle now. It won't take much effort to explain to you. Just listen to me. Everything about the wedding should be done according to the rules. You don't have to be overly frugal. Just follow the rules and not be rude in front of others."
Lan Qi responded: "I, my concubine, listen to your Majesty."
An elusive look flashed across Xuan Ye's eyes: "Yuqing Palace has not established a crown prince yet, so the most solemn wedding is of course for the prince. If Yinzhen's wedding is too extravagant and eye-catching, it will cause him trouble."
When the prince was involved, Lan Qi stopped talking. Xuan Ye knew that she was wise and enlightened, and the two understood each other, and that was the end of the matter.
When she fell asleep again, Lan Qi also took off her clothes and stayed with him. Before, her waist was too high and she couldn't move.
I wanted you to come someday, but now you can't come."
Xuan Ye gritted his teeth and said, "I'll be fine soon."
The atmosphere in the room was sweet, the two of them were whispering, and the night passed before they knew it. The next day they woke up early. The emperor was more energetic than when he came last night, but he couldn't come to Yonghe Palace. Lan Qi told Eunuch Liang
How should they take care of her? They even said in front of Xuan Ye: "Let Wang Changzai come over later. I have something to tell her."
When he was about to go out, there was no one around, so Xuan Ye complained: "Why bother talking to her? You won't feel happy."
Lan Qi ignored it and turned her eyes to see Qinglian walking over from a distance. She knew that the fourth elder brother had gone to Yuqing Palace. She came to report to him about his daily life, so she remembered her son's affairs and said to Xuan Ye: "Lunch Minister
I am sending it to you from Yonghe Palace, and by the way, I will tell you how to arrange those two things, and the emperor also has something in mind for me, which I have always wanted to ask."
Xuan Ye said: "Why do you have to think about it for so long before speaking?"
Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "Why did you send Yinzhen to Yuqing Palace to study? Just to protect him?" Xuan Ye frowned slightly, but was pushed by Lan Qi to the imperial chariot. They agreed to have lunch together.
People say these things again.
After the Holy Driver left, Qinglian rushed over and reported the matter to Fourth Elder Brother as before. There was nothing special about it. Lan Qi went back to the house to tidy up again, and then sent people to Jingyang Palace to invite Concubine Rong to go to Ningshou together.
The palace wanted to discuss the wedding date of their two sons with the Queen Mother. For Concubine Rong, it was a fulfillment of her wish to have her third and fourth elder brothers get married together.
After coming out of Ningshou Palace, it was still early for lunch. After Lan Qi and Concubine Rong left, she went to Yanxi Palace and told Xing'er that the emperor was going to promote her. Zhang promised not to be surprised or happy, but just very calm.
He said: "It doesn't matter what I do to you, my concubine."
Lan Qi knew that although she could speak now, she was still immersed in the fear of killing Ping Guiren. Although Lan Qi had experienced bloodshed, she was not the one who killed him. She couldn't imagine how much courage Xing'er had to kill that person.
It was not too much to insert a hairpin into Concubine Ping's throat and give her some time to relax.
Fortunately, Zhang promised that she had not yet regained her former energy. Master Jue Chan took care of her every day and told Lan Qi that she did not have any abnormal behavior, she was just getting quieter and quieter.
After coming out of the Yanxi Palace, Luzhu came to report that the emperor's lunch was ready in the small kitchen, and then the group of people walked to the Qianqing Palace. It seemed that she had not been there for a while, and in the morning she was just with Xuan Ye
Although he mentioned it, the people below him didn't know. When the Yonghe Palace group arrived at the door, the eunuchs and maids guarding the door felt it was new.
But just then Lan Qi decided to wait for others to go in and report. She passed by the shoulder carriage at the corner and saw Wang Chang sitting on it. Her beautiful face was full of arrogance. But when she saw Concubine De standing in front of the door, she immediately changed.
With a look on his face, the shoulder carriage quickly landed. Wang Chang walked to Lan Qi and led the palace maids and eunuchs behind him to salute.
Lan Qi smiled and asked: "This shoulder carriage was given to you by the emperor?"
