581 Don't Think About Entering the Gate of Yonghe Palace
"I heard Yuan promised to say that Wang Chang had a hard time before her, so now she is bullying people even more." Little Wang lowered her eyes and said softly, "I hate her in my heart, but when I think about the suffering at home,
My uncle will take care of me and help me, so forget it. She didn’t just come out of nowhere, maybe she was upset and that’s why she thought of my concubine.”
Lan Qi likes to deal with people who understand. She doesn't need to talk in roundabout ways, so she asks her directly: "You are so good-looking. If the emperor falls in love with you in the future, won't it be the same when you become a celebrity in front of Shengjia?"
Will she become like she is now?"
Xiao Wang's eyes were confused, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I want to be a good person."
Back then, the Wang family and the Yuan family looked like innocent and pitiful little rabbits. Who would have thought that they would become what they are today. And those who used to look down on them as Han women, bully and exclude them, now no one has ever done so.
You have to be better than them. Things and people in the Forbidden City often cannot distinguish between good and bad, good and evil. It is not easy to keep your mind clear.
Lan Qi looked at her with a smile: "Wang Changzai is pregnant now. The Emperor cannot be left alone. Maybe the Emperor will think of you after a while. You have to take good care of yourself in the future."
Xiao Wang left her seat and said to the ground: "I will never forget your kindness to me, but I don't expect to be the emperor's favorite. Although Yuan promised that he would no longer be bullied by her,
The best way is to let myself replace her, but will she give up easily? I think she will only become more and more entangled with her, and I will not be able to get rid of her in the rest of my life."
Lan Qi nodded: "You think clearly."
Seeing that her words were understood by Concubine De, the royal lady smiled and said firmly: "There are so many concubines in the palace, and the emperor has no shortage of concubines to serve him, don't you think so?"
Lan Qi said: "The Emperor has no shortage of you to serve him, but what if the Emperor orders you?" She motioned for Xiao Wang to get up and said with a smile, "I saw you in Xianfu Palace that day wearing thin clothes, so I asked the people below to find out.
I just know that you are often bullied. Since I am in charge of the Sixth House, it is my duty to let you live a peaceful life. I have been negligent in the past, but I can't be careless again in the future. I sent you a few things urgently before, and I came here today.
, I came here specially because I knew she was here to bully you."
"Empress..."
"Even if you have a low status, you are still the emperor's woman in the Forbidden City. Even if you are different in terms of superiority and inferiority, you cannot resist her, and do not let yourself become anyone's slave. Here, you have only one master, and that is the emperor." Lan Qi looked serious.
, he stood up and seemed to be leaving. When Huanchun and others came to put on their big cloaks, he smiled at Xiao Wang and said, "Today you are in trouble, I can reach out to save you. If you bully others and do good things in the future,
I can also use family laws to discipline you. Remember what you said today, I will not let others bully you again, but how you want to live in the future is all up to you."
Little Wang was smart and took every motto into his heart. He bowed deeply and said, "I, my concubine, please remember this."
Everyone gathered around Concubine De as she went out. Lan Qi motioned to her to stay. After all, Wang Changzai was still standing outside in the wind vent. Lan Qi walked outside and then deliberately acted like she was thinking of her. When she came to Wang,
He said with a smile: "I was so happy talking to your cousin that I forgot about you."
The first lady, the royal official, spent a lot of time licking her hair and changing her clothes. She then talked to Lan Qi. She sat here for half an hour. Wang Chang was left standing under the eaves in single clothes. The northwest wind blew her pretty face.
Parts were white and parts were red from the cold, and I was shivering all over. I wanted to reply now, but I couldn't even move my mouth.
"Go back early. You are pregnant and the roads are slippery in the snow, so be careful." Lan Qi said this gently, then left with the people around her, waiting for everyone in Yonghe Palace to leave.
The people who followed Wang Changzai swarmed up and wrapped Wang Changzai tightly in a big cloak. Several palace maids worked together to hold her, but they couldn't stop her from falling.
After carrying her back, the group of people left in a mess, and the yard suddenly became quiet.
Little Wang leaned against the door and secretly watched these scenes. The little palace maid behind her came up and said, "Will the child in Wang Chang's belly be okay? Will Concubine De be implicated? Will Concubine De be blamed?
On us?"
"How could it be? Your Majesty is not that kind of person." She frowned and said, "With so many people watching, let alone someone like my cousin, if she has this opportunity to bite Empress De Fei, will she let go easily?"
Sure enough, within half a day, word spread in the palace that Concubine De punished Wang Changzai by standing in the snow in single clothes. The cold caused her to have a high fever and the fetus in her belly was also in danger. Everyone thought that Wang was pregnant.
No matter what, the emperor's heir should be the priority. In such a cold weather, Concubine De was indeed cruel.
The Queen Mother sent someone from Ningshou Palace to ask Lan Qi why she punished Wang Chang Zai. The Queen Mother did not want to blame her, but if something happened to the child in Wang's belly, Lan Qi would be the guilty party and she was annoyed.
She has a distinguished status, so why bother arguing with someone who is always there? Lan Qi went to the Queen Mother in person to explain. The two of them talked for a long time, and when she came out of Ningshou Palace again, she met Sister Rong on the way.
Concubine Rong also said the same thing, and said anxiously: "I was afraid that they were bluffing, so I took a special look. Wang Chang's face was flushed and he was touching his hot hands. You said this is really good and bad. How do you explain it to the emperor?"
Lan Qi said coldly: "I just asked her to wait outside. I didn't ask her to wear single clothes. She couldn't think of wearing warm clothes, so why did she depend on me? Sister, don't worry, if the emperor really cares about it, I will say the same thing.
, It doesn’t matter if he wants to pamper his woman, but I still have to take care of the peace of the Sixth Palace. Otherwise, let them take care of it, and we will end up in peace."
Concubine Rong scolded: "You can't talk to the emperor properly about anything. If you are so aggressive, you can just talk to me. Don't be too self-righteous, he is the emperor."
Lan Qi knew that Concubine Rong was kind-hearted, and the words she just said were half a joke, so now she said seriously: "I didn't do anything wrong, let's take a look first, maybe she just felt hot after being cold, and it will be fine after a while? This
This matter has nothing to do with Sister Rong. You are watching from the sidelines. If I am really punished by the emperor, will you help me?"
Concubine Rong said: "When you came out of Ningshou Palace, you already had a gold medal in your hand to avoid death. If the emperor is arguing with you, the queen mother is still here, right?"
The two of them smiled knowingly and separated halfway. Lan Qi returned to Yonghe Palace. After resting for only half an hour, someone came from Qianqing Palace.
Eunuch Liang's apprentice came and said that the emperor asked Concubine De if she was cold. Lan Qi said she was fine, and the eunuch had to go back to resume his life. Huanchun sent the person away and came back worriedly and said: "Empress, why did the emperor come so well?
I just asked you if you are cold. I only asked you half a sentence and nothing else. My slave is not feeling at ease."
"Maybe he thought we were standing together in the snow talking." Lan Qi hugged the thick velvet blanket and lazily turned sideways and asked, "How about Qixiang Palace?"
Huan Chun resented: "The imperial doctor came in and out, watching and bluffing, and the servants heard that Wang Changzai was very bad, but who knows whether it was true or not." She leaned on her master again and said, "But the concubine The empress sent news to Qianqing Palace, but the emperor didn’t even send anyone, let alone the Holy Emperor.”
"Yeah." Lan Qi responded lazily, "If he goes, he won't even think about entering the Yonghe Palace."
Huan Chun was startled by these words and did not dare to ask any more questions. Seeing that his master was sleeping, he left quietly and ordered the little palace maid to watch in front of the door and listen. Someone was sent to inquire about what was going on in Qixiang Palace, but the news that slowly came back changed direction.
Those who were originally scrutinizing why Empress De Fei punished Wang Changzai gradually spread the news about Wang Changzai's abuse of his concubines. One place made a statement, and several other places followed. Presumably, there must be someone like Yuan Shengxing who added fuel to the flames. The Palace of Time was originally talking about how Concubine De was responsible for Wang Chang Zai's heavy responsibility, but now there are rumors everywhere that she is ruthless and bullying, even more so than the ordinary nobles in the past.
At first, Ping Guiren was domineering, but it was just because of her natural temperament and relying on her noble family background. In fact, the emperor did not look at the little Hesheli at all at that time. She was not favored, and it was much simpler for others to hate her. Later, when she was favored, But she has restrained herself a lot. In the eyes of the palace people, who lost her son and was killed by an assassin, they now have more sympathy for her.
But Wang Changzai, a woman who was brought in as a gift, not only gained favor, but also gave birth to a prince, snatching away the favors of those noble concubines, and outdid them all. In addition, she was now arrogant, and even viciously abused the palace. Concubine, the hatred others have for her is much more complicated and profound.
When the sky was getting dark, the imperial doctors in Qixiang Palace seemed to be no longer so busy. They kept saying that Wang Changzai was frozen, and did not say how the fetus was. It seemed that nothing was serious, but the concubine was nervous and still occasionally. Just keeping an eye on them all the time. The discussion in the palace gradually subsided. They spent most of the day watching the excitement. Except for the Qianqing Palace who sent someone to Yonghe Palace, the emperor said nothing at all. Until everyone almost doubted Wang Changzai's favor. What was going on? The emperor sent Eunuch Liang to Qixiang Palace to find out.
But on the other side, the imperial dining room has arranged the meals to be delivered to Yonghe Palace, and the royal chariot is ready in front of the Qianqing Palace. Looking at the scene, the emperor should go to Yonghe Palace to rest.
After Lan Qi got up from a good sleep, she saw meals being prepared outside. She just looked on impatiently. When the emperor's arrival was announced, she looked outside and saw Huan Chun and others waiting inside the door. Huan Chun I couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why don't we go out to pick up the driver?"
Lan Qi said: "Didn't the Emperor say that you shouldn't stand outside and wait when it's cold?"
While they were talking, Xuan Ye came in with a cold air. When he saw her, he smiled: "I really sent Thirty-Four to accompany the Queen Mother. Let's have a quiet meal."
Lan Qi untied Xuan Ye's cloak, and the palace maid handed him a hot handkerchief. She took it and wiped Xuan Ye's hands, then pulled him into the room and said, "Why are you bringing the royal meal here again? Don’t like to eat.”
Xuan Ye followed her and said: "I want to be so grand and ostentatious, so that they don't have to stretch their necks to look at me, which is pitiful."
