"It's easy to ask, but what should I think of my master?" Huan Chun sighed, "She has endured such hard work, are we going to do any harm to her? There are many new people in the palace now, and we don't know what the situation will be like. Let's stay with An Ansheng for now. Master."
And just as Huan Chun said, there are now many new people in the palace. In addition to Concubine Tong and Yi Guiren, several other Chang Zai promised to accompany them from time to time. Even Dong Chang, who had been ill for a long time, had been recovering for two days after his health became better recently. Serving in the Qianqing Palace, it is not like the Wuya clan who was favored by one person in the old days, but now it is not clear which one is the best in the palace.
I thought that if the emperor had equal access to the rain and dew, the harem would be peaceful and peaceful, but in fact, the people's hearts were insufficient. Everyone wanted to get more than others, and the old and the new were fighting openly and secretly, and they were constantly fighting.
During the leap month of May, the emperor went to Yuquan Mountain alone for a pleasure trip, and calculated that he would not return to the palace until the beginning of June.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and no matter how deserted Zhongcui Palace is, it can't stop the scorching sun. On this day, Yukui and Bu Chang's palace maid Jin He came back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because Bu Chang was at Lan Qi's place. Sitting on the side, the two of them came together to recover. Jinhe sighed: "When I passed by, I saw that ice had already been used in Concubine Tong's palace. I asked casually and said that we have to wait until June. "
Lan Qi only smiled: "I'm not afraid of the heat, and your master can't use ice. He's too thirsty for cold in the summer and coughs again in the winter."
Jin He sighed: "That's what you have in mind, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs deliberately shortened our time. The hours in each palace are the same, just a little more and a little less."
Bu Chang sighed quietly there: "I thought they didn't look down on us, but after all, they started to look at people's food."
Lan Qi didn't take it seriously. The money she could get now seemed to her very satisfactory and abundant. The Ministry of Internal Affairs acted according to the rules and shouldn't have treated that department lightly. This was probably because someone from above was doing it. If you try to make a scene, you will end up in an ugly situation.
Bu Chang was lamenting that she used to have a Buddhist temperament and could tolerate things that others couldn't tolerate. Now that she has read more and more books, her mind is so broad that she can almost see through the world of mortals.
Lan Qi always just smiled: "I don't know many words yet, so it's better to stay peacefully in the world of mortals."
But that night, the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly sent ice to the Zhongcui Palace, and the young eunuch kowtowed and asked for forgiveness, saying that he would have all the money for the maternity of the honorable nobleman. He was too busy during the day and neglected the two eunuchs. exist.
Lan Qi and Bu Changzai both found it novel and asked Huan Chun to reward some of their little father-in-laws. Neither of them were afraid of the heat, so they gave ice to Yukui Jinhe and the others.
Before going to bed, Huan Chun came to smoke the mosquito net for his master. Lan Qi gently shook the fan and sat in front of the lamp to read. After Huan Chun was done, he put down the mosquito net and took down the book with a smile: "You're here again. Reading at night is bad for your eyes." Already."
Lan Qi didn't argue with her, and was driven into the tent, where she ordered another half bowl of tea. While drinking tea, she listened to Huan Chun say: "If it is really the place where Mr. Ronggui lives, it makes sense, but if someone deliberately If they treat us badly and ask whoever finds out about it and come over to fill the gap for us, then that is the intention of the higher-ups."
"What's on your mind?" Lan Qi sent the tea bowl out and fanned herself for a while. She waited until her whole body cooled down before lying down. "Almost everyone in the Qianqing Palace has left. Eunuch Li is always taking care of us. Now, I may not be able to care about it, maybe it’s the Empress Dowager.”
While talking, there was a faint sound of the piano coming from outside. Lan Qi listened attentively for a while, but then she heard Huan Chun say: "Concubine Tong likes to play the guqin. This music is very cool to listen to in the summer."
Lan Qi was slightly longing and said softly: "The Emperor likes talented people."
At this moment in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong stopped playing the guqin and called the palace maids to serve tea. She didn't like playing the guqin, but Amma said that the emperor liked to be leisurely and relaxed, so she had to know something, so she thought about practicing hard these days.
When the emperor returns from Yuquan Mountain, he can hear that she has improved even more.
The palace maid Jingzhu came with tea and said by the way: "The ice used by Zhongcui Palace has been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Concubine Tong drank her tea lazily and hummed, "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are just flattering, why should I take them seriously? They live in front and back, and if anyone cares about it, think it's my idea.
