Eunuch Liang said with a bitter face: "My slave is dead. When I found out about Ying Fujin, I was dumbfounded, but I had to tell the emperor. Before the emperor entered the capital, he asked his slave to send someone to secretly take Ying Fujin out. This is
I personally asked Ying Fujin, but I don’t know anything about the other slaves.”
Lan Qi almost couldn't catch her breath. When she was watching the fight between Concubine Rong and her mother-in-law in the palace, Xuan Ye actually brought his sister-in-law to ask if he was Tathagata Buddha. Even if the whole world was full of monkeys,
Can't escape his Wuzhishan?
"Your Majesty, please talk to your Majesty. I don't think I'm particularly angry when I look at Long Live Master. This matter shouldn't matter." Eunuch Liang comforted Concubine De, but couldn't help but talk more, "My Majesty, I understand in my heart that you have
You can say whatever you want in front of Long Live Lord about anything, why do you bother to bother with that? If something goes wrong, Long Live Lord may not be angry, but what if others bully you?"
Lan Qi lowered her head and murmured: "If you even say such things, he must have nothing good to say."
Eunuch Liang was so shocked that he kowtowed repeatedly: "You talk too much..."
Lan Qi hurriedly left her seat and raised her hand to help him get up. She said angrily: "It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with you. Does the tacit understanding between our master and servant still care about those few words? This matter is mine.
Go talk to Long Live Lord, don't worry."
General Manager Liang had always been favored by Concubine De. After he took over the position of Eunuch Li, he was unable to take care of the affairs around the emperor for a while, and he also failed to establish authority among the palace maids and eunuchs. During those days, Concubine De had a lot of help, and the emperor also stated that he could help
When it comes to running errands in Yonghe Palace, although one slave cannot serve two masters, the emperor and Concubine De are not distinguished from each other at all, and they are not two masters. No matter what Eunuch Li taught in the past or what he himself figured out, the affairs in Yonghe Palace will never be resolved.
The most important thing is to treat the concubine with the same care as you serve the emperor.
Naturally, Eunuch Liang only kept these words in his own heart. He left Concubine De at this moment and returned to wait outside the study. Inside, the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers. He didn't seem happy to hear the sound. He wondered what was causing the matter.
This troublesome thing made him worried that the emperor would be angry after seeing Concubine De. After half an hour, they left. Eunuch Liang came in with hot tea, bowed and said: "Long live my lord, Concubine De."
The empress has been waiting in Nuan Pavilion for a long time."
Xuan Ye felt thirsty as he spoke. He downed most of the bowl of tea and his face calmed down. However, he did not ask why Lan Qi came, but said: "Where are the things I asked you to collect?"
Eunuch Liang was stunned. The emperor frowned and said, "That bracelet."
"Slave, go and get it now." Eunuch Liang regained consciousness, ran away quickly, and soon retrieved a box of golden nan. The emperor took it without looking at it, and headed towards Nuan Pavilion.
In this compartment, Lan Qi heard the noise outside and knew that the ministers had dispersed. She stood in front of the door and poked her head to see when the emperor would come. Then she lowered the thick curtain and wanted to sit back, but couldn't help but lift it again and leaned out to take a look.
It was at this moment that she saw Xuan Ye walking over, and their eyes met. She was so panicked that she immediately retracted. When the cotton curtain fell heavily, she was shocked to realize that she had lost her composure. She calmed down and reached out to lift the curtain.
There was a palace maid outside carefully opening the door curtain. Xuan Ye smiled when he saw her: "Why did you see me? It's like a mouse seeing a cat?"
Lan Qi pursed her lips and said nothing, stepped back and curtsied, and was helped up by Xuan Ye, who stuffed a box into her hand and said happily: "Hurry up and show it to me."
"What's this strange thing?" Lan Qi followed him and sat down inside, opening the box. There was a green jade bracelet lying in the red silk satin. Xuan Ye picked it up in a hurry, took her hand and traced it with her slender fingers.
Sliding it on, not too much or too little, it fit on the wrist just right. Xuan Ye said happily, "I knew you had thin arms, so you would be able to wear it."
"Is this Hotan Jasper?" Lan Qi is also very knowledgeable now. This bracelet is of delicate jade quality and oily and dark green color. Lan Qi has only seen one on the wrist of the Queen Mother in these years, and the one in her hand is even more unique.
, is a rare small-diameter jasper bracelet. As Xuan Ye said, if you have a slightly plumper arm, you can't wear it and can only play with it.
Xuan Ye only asked her: "Do you like it?"
Lan Qi nodded, touched the bracelet on her wrist, and asked softly: "Where did the emperor get it? This is so precious."
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "I asked Fuquan to buy it. I was thinking about giving you something for the Chinese New Year. Although gold and silver jewelry is very boring, didn't the bracelet you loved before be broken by Yinqi?
When he becomes successful in the future, I will compensate you. How long will it take? I will give you one first."
"Then..." But all Lan Qi's mind was about was her instigating discord with Concubine Rong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Xuan Ye might not be able to suppress his timidity even if he offered her a mountain of gold, but seeing him in such a good mood, he
He understood that the emperor did not take it seriously and instead became conflicted. How should he face it?
But none of her thoughts could escape Xuan Ye's eyes. The emperor held his head with one hand and said lazily: "Sure enough, when you are guilty, even gold, silver and jewelry can't arouse your interest. If it were normal days, your eyes would have lit up."
Bar?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qi felt as if she was being amnesty. She was snuggling on the warm bed with him. Now she got up and knelt down and said: "Eunuch Liang said that you have met Lan Ying. Your Majesty, please don't blame Ying."
Son, that matter was all my concubine’s fault.”
As she spoke, she pretended to kowtow, and Xuan Ye already smiled and said, "Who are you entrusting to? Lan Ying, why don't you rush to tell me?" The emperor's eyes were filled with pride, and he shook his head and said, "I'll find her as soon as I can."
Come on, she did everything, saying it was your fault, telling me not to blame her, and promising me that she would never help you again, and she sold her sister in just a few words."
Lan Qi looked at the emperor blankly, while Xuan Ye said happily to himself: "I have spoiled you rotten, and I have spoiled my sister-in-law rotten too."
"I didn't mean to provoke you. I really don't know how to tell you some things. They are all trivial matters of a woman's family. There is no need to bring trouble to you." Lan Qi was not in the mood to joke and said seriously, "I just don't know.
Thinking that the child could go so far, to be honest, Concubine Rong is incompetent and cannot discipline her daughter-in-law well. If Yu Xi dared to be so presumptuous, I would have punished her with the family law."
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "She is still an evil mother-in-law." After saying that, his face turned and he said seriously, "I didn't mean to blame you. I just wanted to find out what was going on and found out that it was you behind the scenes.
I thought you must have some reasons for this. But I was worried that others would also find out about you, so I left some clues in a pretentious manner and pushed the matter to Changchun Palace. Did Concubine Rong tell you? No matter whether she said it or not, you
Once you hear it, it’s done. I don’t care about your reasons, and you don’t have to worry about my arrangements. This is the end of the matter.”
"Really?" Compared to the expensive Hotan Jasper bracelet, Lan Qi felt that the emperor's words were the most precious. She had been too worried and had made her body stiff as if bound by armor, but now her muscles and bones were loosened, and her sweet smile appeared.
Xuan Ye felt warm in his heart, nodded in affirmation, and asked her softly, "Are you so happy?"
Lan Qi groaned and muttered: "If the emperor doesn't blame me, then why does he seem to be very unhappy? He doesn't go to Yonghe Palace to see her after coming back for so long. In the past, when he came back from a trip, he always went to Yonghe Palace first.
.”
"I originally had very important things to deal with, and I didn't plan to go anywhere, but this matter happened. I can't let Concubine Rong get suspicious of you, so I can only rush to appease her first, and then think that you are
If you made a mistake, you might as well leave it and let yourself reflect on it."
Lan Qi came up and hugged his arm and said, "I have reflected on it."
Xuan Ye smiled: "What about the future?"
Lan Qi tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "If someone bullies me, I will probably still do this. I just need to be more careful next time and don't ask you to find out."
Xuan Ye said happily: "That's good. I don't blame you at all for what happened this time. I couldn't get used to the third child's family for a long time. I originally thought that the upbringing of a wealthy family was very strict, and the girls who came out would not be able to do it."
Wrong, and I am good-looking. I just wanted to satisfy Concubine Rong’s vanity, but I didn’t expect to cause her trouble. But as you said, why can’t I teach you well? Both she and Concubine Hui are weak, could it be possible that there will be a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Do you still want me to worry about them?"
Lan Qi secretly thought to herself, just look at Yuqing Palace, the prince has no biological mother, and Fujin has no mother-in-law to control her. She was so proud that she became more and more arrogant and domineering in Yuqing Palace. In a blink of an eye, the emperor brought her cousin in to threaten her.
Although Wen Fujin seemed easy to bully, she also devoured her cousin to death. At least in the past two years, regardless of the overt and covert fights between them, there was no more embarrassing incident for the prince in the Yuqing Palace.
The emperor controlled his courtiers, concubines, and even his sons and daughters-in-law with one hand and calmly. Whether in the front court or in the harem, he rarely got angry or happy, and was always calm and peaceful, taking everything into consideration.
Xuan Ye really didn't care what Lan Qi did to instigate other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Instead, he felt that she was justified. He stopped thinking about it after saying a few words. He touched the bracelet on her wrist and said in a lazy tone: "
I have given you such a good thing, and I have come to Qing Palace, so don’t leave tonight."
Lan Qi's heart became hot and she said hypocritically: "I am the master of Yonghe Palace. I have come all the way to the Qing Palace and will not leave. I will be laughed at later."
Xuan Ye stroked her arm and asked softly: "How are you feeling?"
Lan Qi just nodded, and Xuan Ye came up and took a sip into her neck. She was afraid of itchiness and avoided it. She pointed outside and said, "The food will be passed around later. Your Majesty is making a fool of himself."
She originally wanted to hide away if she could, and wait until they were asleep at night before making out again, but if Xuan Ye really refused to give up, she wouldn't care so much. Unexpectedly, before she said a word, she could hear Eunuch Liang being unwell outside.
He shouted at the right time: "Long live my Lord, I have something to report."
Xuan Ye had an angry look on his face, Lan Qi tried to stop him from losing his temper, and asked loudly what was going on. He sat on the edge and asked Eunuch Liang to come in to answer. When he saw Eunuch Liang coming in with his head lowered, he probably knew that he had spoiled the emperor's mood.
She said awkwardly and nervously: "Concubine Hui sent someone to report that Brother Eighth fell and injured his head. The imperial doctor is treating him. Please come over and take a look."
