The maid over there recognized Xianghe and said she was with the nobleman Jue Chan. Chen Changzai walked around the bushes and saw the nobleman here. He hurriedly bowed and saluted and said: "I didn't know that the nobleman came here, so it is very rude.
"
Jue Chan saw her face pale and haggard. She had heard the rumors in the palace for a long time. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, it was true. She clearly looked lovesick. She smiled and said, "Why are you being rude? It's me who disturbed you."
Qingjing, if my sister doesn’t mind it, how about we sit together?”
Chen Changzai nodded in agreement and stood aside to ask the distinguished lady to go ahead. He turned to the place where she was sitting alone, where she could see the view of the lake in the garden, the gentle breeze, the sparkling waves, and the fragrance of osmanthus. It was a very comfortable place.
Mrs. Chan carefully looked at the people around her and saw that her eyebrows were calm and peaceful. If she was lovesick, she was actually mild.
Seeing the expression on her master's side, Xianghe guessed that they might have something to say, so she invited Chen Changzai's maid to go beat the sweet-scented osmanthus to make honey. Chen Changzai couldn't help but warned: "You guys find a long pole to beat, don't use too much force."
If you shake the tree trunk, it will not bloom next year if it is damaged."
Noble Jue Chan smiled and said, "My sister is kind-hearted and is reluctant to harm flowers and plants."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Juechan never interacts with people who are not useful. The people in the palace are complicated. She looks at them coldly and finds out those who can be used. This is how De Fei is, and how Min Changzai is. Everything can be done.
She would only interact with the person who asked her to walk step by step to the end. Today, for some reason, she sat down and talked with Chen Changzai. If she had to find a reason for herself, it was probably that she came from Jiangnan, and Jiangnan has always been a place for Rong.
If you are in a place you are fascinated by.
At this moment, Chen Chang couldn't help laughing when he heard the Zen nobleman praising his kindness: "The nobleman thinks that he is kindhearted, but others probably only think that I am pretentious. They all say that we Han women are the most pretentious."
Jue Chan was startled and asked bluntly: "How come you don't mind at all when you talk to me?"
Chen Changzai nodded: "I have heard about you, but you are different from them."
"Yeah?"
Chen Changzai's eyes flashed slightly, but he said: "Sister, noble lady, may I ask you a question?"
Master Juechan thought about it in his mind and smiled on his face: "What's the important matter?"
There was infatuation in the speaker's eyes, and his red lips moved slightly: "The noble lady is stunningly beautiful and is still a legendary beauty in the palace. I think so too. The emperor was very fond of you back then, but after you gave birth to the eighth prince, you...
Silence. Are you feeling sad over the years? Your Majesty is so ruthless."
Jue Chan couldn't help but sigh. It was her fault that the emperor was ruthless to her. Therefore, she didn't hate the emperor deeply, so how could she feel sad? But the person in front of her was obviously an idiot. She was emotional and actually fell in love with her age.
She could almost be her father's emperor. Teenage years are indeed the time when love is the most important thing. Nothing and no one is as important as the affection in her heart. She loves the emperor, but he fails her.
Seeing that the noble man was silent, Chen Changzai smiled miserably and continued: "There are too many people in this situation in the palace, including Wan Changzai from Jingyang Palace, the two noblemen from Zhongcui Palace, and even you.
My concubine has been with the emperor for a long time, but why did the emperor say that he would abandon me and never care about me again? I heard that everyone used to hate the secret nobles of Qixiang Palace. Why does the emperor still care so much about her?
Am I not as beautiful as Mi Guiren, not as gentle as her, am I not good enough?"
Mrs. Juechan's heart trembled, and she asked awkwardly: "Sister, do you ask anyone these words when you see me?" She thought to herself, no wonder there were rumors in the palace that Mrs. Chen was lovesick, and she still lived in Zhongcui Palace.
If a person who cannot go out wanders around outside, do he really want to make everyone aware of it?
"I would only ask people who are in the same situation as me." Chen Changzai was still awake and not stupid, so he leaned forward to accuse you, "I am disturbing you."
Just a moment ago, Mrs. Juechan thought that Chen Changzai was a little abnormal, but her calm demeanor made her feel pitiful. This kind of thing often won't get any sympathy if he cries and cries, but he can be calm and strong.
People feel sad. They can't help but ask: "How did Dai Guiren and others answer you?"
Chen Changzai smiled bitterly: "My sisters all said they didn't know, they didn't think much about it."
"What about yourself?"
"I always wonder if the emperor will like me, and I want to fight for it." Chen Changzai shook his head and sighed, "But I also think that the emperor hates me because I hid my pregnancy.
I, I just wanted to please him but it ended up like this. If I dare to compete for his favor again, I really don’t know what will happen."
Jue Chan smiled and said, "Since my sister understands everything in her heart, why bother holding on to it? Just let it go."
Chen Changzai looked at her expectantly and asked: "Sister Guiren, are you letting go too?"
The two were silent for a while, and finally Jue Chan said: "I used to love you deeply, but I couldn't see or touch you, and I couldn't even say a word. But even so, knowing in my heart that I loved you deeply was enough. Maybe we
In this life, you can only love the person in your heart silently like this. As for you, I can probably only say that you came more than ten years late in this life, but if you go to your beloved earlier in the next life, maybe you will be successful."
Obviously, Mrs. Juechan was talking about her love for Nalan Rongruo, but Chen Changzai misunderstood it. It was more like meeting a close friend, and her eyes burst into tears when she heard the words. She just wondered why her affection for the emperor was not recognized by the concubine.
The nobles and the others admitted and even distorted her intentions. She just fell in love with that man. So she refused to give up. Even if she was laughed at, she wanted to ask one more person what she had done wrong. At this moment, her feelings were
Sure, she suddenly felt relieved.
As for Jue Chan, Concubine Wen's words made her immersed in the illusion of affirmed love and lost her direction. At that time, she regarded Concubine Wen as a confidant, but when she woke up, she had become her pawn. Now it is almost the same.
Things happened before her eyes, and she became "Concubine Wen." The difference was that she had no intention of taking advantage of Chen Changzai, and Chen's love for the emperor did not need to be secretive.
"If you live a bad life, others will look down on you. Guard your dignity so that you don't waste your love." At this moment, Mrs. Juechan inadvertently mentioned the words of the former Concubine De, and her heart suddenly shook.
Trembling, after all these years, I am still influenced by De Fei.
"Sister Noble, thank you." Chen Changzai's cheeks were soaked with tears, but a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his expression was much more relaxed than when he met her just now. She stood up and said, "Your words are very useful to me.
You can do whatever you want from now on. I came to the palace to seek peace. Without the emperor's affection, my parents and brothers at home are still looking forward to my well-being."
Juechan nodded and said nothing. Seeing that she seemed to want to go back, he simply said: "I want to sit for a while. My sister is feeling cold after sitting for a long time. You can go back first."
Chen Changzai smiled: "These days, I haven't opened the family letters sent to the palace yet. Now I really want to see what my father and mother said to my concubine."
"Go ahead."
She said lightly, and the young and beautiful person in front of her turned around. Jue Chan looked at her back in confusion, recalling the completely different appearance of Chen Changzai before and after the incident, and asked herself, did she do something good? Is it a good thing?
What happened when Empress Dowager De was like saving herself and saving others?
At this moment, the emperor had already left the capital. Because he was waiting for the queen mother, the emperor walked very slowly this time. He was not in a hurry to go or return. He just wanted the queen mother to have a comfortable journey without any accidents. He would stop at provincial and county offices every night.
, or camped on the deserted official roads in front and behind. Today, someone set up camp here early. When the emperor and the queen mother arrived, a comfortable tent was ready.
The crowd gathered around the Queen Mother and went into the big tent to rest. After that, the Emperor and the concubines withdrew, and saw that the team behind them had followed one after another. The concubines were gathering together to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Lan Qi suffered from motion sickness due to Wen Xian.
, they walked very slowly and failed to keep up with the carriage and horses of the emperor and the queen mother, who had just arrived.
Xuan Ye was just about to speak to her when he saw Xiao Chen'er running up from behind. This girl was very energetic. She just got into the crowd and pulled out a concubine. She smiled happily: "My lord, my mother wants me."
We are staying in Tong Niang Niang’s tent tonight. You can be there too and we can play together.”
Xuan Ye was originally looking at his daughter, but unconsciously his eyes fell on He Guiren. Her bright smile was very attractive, but she seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Holy Driver here and only focused on talking to the princess.
Of course, the emperor's gaze did not stay for too long. He told everyone not to disturb the Queen Mother and left to rest. After saying that, he walked towards Lan Qi and wanted to go with her to see Wen Xian. The child started to get carsick not long after he went out.
It's really pitiful, and the father feels very sad.
Lan Qi went with him. Soon after the emperor returned to his tent, Lan Qi had to take care of his daughter and could not accompany him. However, she and Xuan Ye discussed whether to send Wen Xian back because Wen Xian stubbornly wanted to see Duan.
Princess Jing, she refuses to go back alive or dead, this matter has not been decided yet.
At sunset, Concubine Rong came over with soup and medicine and said that the imperial doctor had thought of another prescription to treat Wen Xian's vomiting. If it still didn't work, she could only send her back. There was still a long way to go, so she had to treat her.
Take your body seriously.
Lan Qi said: "If we decide to send Wen Xian back, I will go back with her. I will have to trouble my sister to take care of the emperor and the queen mother on the road ahead. I really don't trust her to return alone."
Concubine Rong could understand, but she smiled and said: "There are so many people in the entourage this time, and those people are restless again. Look, you can't get away from taking care of Wen Xian. Everyone is ready to move, thinking that the emperor cannot be without him."
People serve you.”
Lan Qi didn't care: "It's human nature, everyone is the same."
But Concubine Rong pulled her and said softly: "Did you see that the emperor took a closer look at the noble lady in Concubine Tong's room today? I haven't looked at her carefully for a long time. She is getting more and more beautiful. I guess after this trip, the palace
