But Dongyun covered her face and asked deliberately: "Mother, I didn't say it was you. I said it was Jingzhu."
Concubine Tong shouted: "Why did Jingzhu give the things? Of course I asked her to give them. What nonsense are you talking about, bastard?"
There was an uproar all around. Everyone had received snacks, sachets, and fans from Concubine Tong, but now they couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs just thinking about it.
Yi Guiren has been wearing the sachet gifted by Concubine Tong in those days, even after she gave birth, she also hid it under the pillow. Today when the imperial doctor went to take her pulse, she smelled a strange smell and asked Tao Hong to feel around, and sure enough she found this sachet. Naturally, the sachet contains ferocious tiger and wolf medicine. The bad thing is that the smell is pleasant and refreshing. It makes people feel peaceful in this hot and irritable early summer. Yiguiren carried it close to her body for a few days. Being pregnant is naturally harmful, but not pregnant. , her body has been cold all the time, and no matter how much she serves in Qianqing Palace, there cannot be any good news.
"It's these tricks again, don't you try something new?" The Empress Dowager has long been tired of the dirty tricks in the palace. From the time she became a concubine, to the Queen Mother, to the Empress Dowager, the women and daughters-in-law around her, Now it's finally the grandson's wife's turn.
This has been the case in all dynasties. Where women gather together, there is only one man. There is only one person who can make the decision in the middle palace and the east palace. Who doesn't want to rob and who doesn't want to fight. In recent years, she likes children from low backgrounds because they know that they keep their status. They must have a sense of propriety, but these children who come from high-ranking noble families are all self-righteous and fear that the world will not be chaotic.
"The Empress Dowager, I am unjustly accused..." Concubine Tong was a little confused about the current situation. She cried and knelt on the ground and begged, "Please find out clearly, I am really not the concubine..."
"The Empress Dowager, this sachet on my concubine is also a reward from Concubine Tong during the Dragon Boat Festival." An Guiren suddenly came to the side and held up the sachet with trembling hands. The little palace maid took it and looked at Lama Sumala. Grandma ordered her to be sent to the imperial doctor who was waiting outside for a look. He came back from time to time and said, "The things the imperial doctor said are the same as the two in Yikun Palace."
Concubine Tong retorted sternly: "What's wrong with those things? Every household outside the palace hangs these sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival." She turned around and pointed at everyone and asked, "Don't you people use them in your homes before? Why are you pretending to be innocent and grievances here? , if it is a bad thing, who will carry it with him..."
"Shut up!" the Empress Dowager angrily scolded, her former kind and gentle expression disappeared, and Grandma Sumala hurriedly came to persuade her, "Everyone, ladies and gentlemen, please leave. I'm afraid that Concubine Tong is too young for this matter. You understand, don’t blame those who don’t know.”
Everyone knew that Aunt Sumala's words meant the Empress Dowager, so they didn't dare to stay and watch the joke anymore, so they bowed and left. Not long after they left, Dongyun also helped Concubine Zhao out, and everyone stood on both sides. Let Concubine Zhao go first, she walked to the middle, but stopped and looked at the people around her one by one. Sure enough, she didn't see Zhong Cuigong in front of her. Even Rong Gui and Hui Gui came. She felt relieved. He said in a cold tone, "Go and look through those things when you go back. No matter the person or the thing, you have to open your eyes to see clearly."
Everyone timidly said yes and watched Concubine Zhao leave, and then dispersed in twos and threes. Some people said that Concubine Zhao did not continue to bite Concubine Tong because she was trying to give face to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Then this If a favor is repaid in the future, it will be a different matter if the interest is compounded.
In the Cining Palace, Concubine Tong lay on the ground crying pitifully. The Empress Dowager let her cry for a long time, and then said sternly: "This is what happens if you don't know what to do. You came to watch the show eagerly, but you were dragged into the water."
He is so dirty, why can your aunt's son become the emperor? Her duty is in this palace. She is neither annoying nor eye-catching. She should give birth to the child well, even if she is raised in a place where her brother has never seen her, she would not dare to do so.
What's the point of fighting over the rules? If she goes to fight with the Dong E family and loses all her luck and her son's future, will you still be making trouble in this palace today?"
"The Empress Dowager, I am unjustly accused. Those sachets are really not there." Concubine Tong burst into tears and begged, but then she heard the Empress Dowager say, "I don't want to investigate whether the sachets were tampered with or not."
, but what are you doing when you send Jingzhu to find Bu Chang?"
Concubine Tong shivered and heard another question: "What do you want to do when you block Wu Changzai's way in the middle of the night?"
"I don't have..." Her eyes were as red as bloodthirsty and filled with resentment, but she was frustrated by the old man's words. The Empress Dowager stood up to leave and looked down at her with disdain, "Your aunt's former virtue must have overshadowed her.
"You, if you lose all of this, then your strength will be exhausted. If you keep your tail between your legs and be a good person, no one or anything in this palace will be able to escape the eyes of Cining Palace." He pointed at Jing on the ground angrily.
Zhu said, "Good people are ruined by these unscrupulous slaves."
Aunt Sumala asked the maids to help the Queen Mother to rest, and at the same time called for someone to come, "Send Jingzhu to the Criminal Punishment Department. They will know how to deal with it."
"Your Majesty, please save me! Your Majesty, please save me! I didn't do anything, Your Majesty..." In Jingzhu's desperate cry for help, she was dragged out like a piece of silk. The voice became farther and farther away, but until everyone else heard it, she was dragged out like a piece of silk.
Missing, but still seemed to be lingering around Concubine Tong's ears. She covered her ears tightly and huddled on the ground, and soon lost consciousness in her own fright. Later, she was carried back by various hands and feet, and she remained in a daze.
Save personnel.
No one expected such a result, but when everyone returned to the palace and opened the sachets gifted by Concubine Tong, it turned out that they all contained the medicine of tiger and wolf. Although the sachets used to ward off evil spirits and repel insects during the Dragon Boat Festival contained many strong-smelling
There are no such things as medicinal materials, but even if Concubine Tong is extremely courageous, she would not dare to harm all the women in the harem. But if anyone is to intervene, it must be someone who has the ability to steal the sky.
At this time, everyone is in danger, and the water in this palace is getting deeper and deeper.
In Zhongcui Palace, Jinhe and Xiangyue lit a stove in the yard and burned all the things that Concubine Tong had given them. They were so hot that they were sweating, but they rushed back happily and said: "This is great, we are no longer afraid of Concubine Tong."
Come to torment us, that Jingzhu probably won’t be able to save her life in the Criminal Punishment Department, she is so versatile, and she has helped Concubine Tong to bully us."
Bian Bu Changzai had been restless. When he heard Jinhe say this, he couldn't help but scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, is it your turn to say this?"
It was rare for Jin He to see his master lose his temper, so he was stunned for a moment. Huan Chun came to ask them to wash up, but they were all sweaty. Pan Xia was the only one in the room who served tea, and soon followed him out. Bu Chang was trembling.
Holding the tea bowl, Lan Qi asked her if she felt uncomfortable, and she burst into tears.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Bu Changzai's face was ashen, and he said word by word: "Concubine Tong asked Jingzhu to threaten me and asked me to listen to her words and find opportunities to harm you. She said that if I didn't do this, she would let my brother's nuns torture me."
Duan Jing even wanted her life, I..."
Lan Qi was frightened when she heard this, remembering how she cried when she and her grandma were alone today, "Does Grandma Sumala know?"
Bu Changzai suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Lan Qi. She was so frightened that she also fell down. The two sisters sat on the ground. Bu Changzai burst into tears and said that she was sorry for Lan Qi, even though she had never done anything.
, but she was so scared at the time that she agreed to Jingzhu, but in the blink of an eye, she was pointed out by Aunt Sumala. She was so distracted that day that she wished she could die.
"Without you, I have nothing. I know that, but I'm afraid that if something happens to Duan Jing in my brother's house, Lan Qi, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Lan Qi looked at her distressedly. She didn't hate Bu Changzai at all for her cowardice. She was only filled with her kindness when she was her master's servant and her kindness after becoming a sister. Bu Changzai had no desires and demands, only caring about the one who couldn't be seen often.
daughter, but Concubine Tong threatened her with that little life. Not to mention that she had done nothing, and she was sure that even if Concubine Tong really wanted her to do something later, she would never be able to do it. But even so, Bu Chang
After all, kind people cannot do evil even when they are already filled with regret and fear.
"Sister, we all have to do well for Duanjing. I don't know what future I will have, but if there comes a day when we can talk to each other, I will definitely let you see your daughter every day. We, Duanjing, are very blessed.
, she has two nuns, right?" Lan Qi hugged Bu Changzai, but turned her back to her and couldn't help but blush, "In the future, I must serve the Empress Dowager well and repay the favor.
The old man loves us very much, right?"
Outside the house, Huan Chun and Pan Xia stood guard in front of the door. They heard what was said inside clearly. Pan Xia's eyes turned red and she raised her hand to wipe them. Huan Chun pulled her and laughed softly: "You idiot, why are you crying? We are fine."
The days are coming, Jingzhu deserves to die like that."
The ups and downs in the harem only reached the Qianqing Palace with just a few words. Xuan Ye listened coldly to Manager Li's words with an embarrassed look on his face and said nonchalantly: "Since the Imperial Grandmother won't pursue the matter, there is no need to spread any rumors outside.
I know that you often walk among those ministers, so bring a few words with you to prevent them from causing trouble. It is not their turn to make irresponsible remarks about the harem family affairs."
But when Eunuch Li was about to retire, Xuan Ye ordered again: "Yikun Palace will reward Concubine Zhao and Yi Guiren with some things to calm their shock. Chengqian Palace should not miss the imperial doctor's greetings. You can care about it in my name. Emperor
I will explain it to my grandmother."
Eunuch Li responded and asked, "What does the emperor want to reward Concubine Zhao and Ren Yigui?"
Xuan Ye frowned and said impatiently: "Just go and see for yourself what is suitable. You have to ask me about this?"
Eunuch Li smiled bitterly and quietly withdrew. While ordering his men to do things, he smiled as if talking to himself: "It took a lot of effort to choose those jewelry last time."
Concubine Tong's frame-up of the concubines came out of nowhere and went away extremely quickly. The Empress Dowager suppressed it with the highest authority and only held Concubine Tong accountable for the crime she didn't know about. Led by the eldest palace maid Jingzhu, she had several people in the palace arrested.
The eunuch and the maid were sent to the Shenxing Department, and then according to the rules of concubines, many new people were sent to her, but everyone knew that the new people were more or less important.
Concubine Tong's words and deeds in Cining Palace were no longer as free as when she first entered the palace.
But the emperor's attitude seemed to be very different. While he was sympathetic to Yikun Palace, he was not indifferent to Chengqian Palace. He still treated his cousin as before, with as much respect as he should have, and even paid more attention to him than before. No one could understand it.
Because of this, no one dared to slight Concubine Tong at will.
It's just that in the deep palace, it's hard to fight for holy favors, and it's even harder to find blessings. Blessed people always have God's blessing. Ronggui just gave birth to his little brother in June last year. In the blink of an eye, on the little brother's first birthday this year, the imperial doctor diagnosed the nobleman's pregnancy again.
When the good news that she was pregnant was sent to Cining Palace, Lan Qi was fanning the Empress Dowager to take a nap.
Aunt Sumala happily came to tell her master. The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "When you chose her, you said she had a good body and bones. Now look at it. She is the most blessed in the palace." After that, she said.
Lan Qi's hand said, "Don't be anxious in your heart. In a few days, your health will gradually get better. If you get closer to the emperor, you will also be blessed. If Sumara can't do anything else, it depends on the person."
Lan Qi's cheeks turned red and she smiled coquettishly: "You said this in broad daylight, should I or should I not?"
"Ouch, you are not in the Nuan Pavilion in broad daylight..." The Empress Dowager was happy for a moment, and her words were not measured, but she couldn't be disrespectful, so she stopped immediately. When she saw Lan Qi, she was embarrassed after hearing even half a sentence.
She wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, smiling from ear to ear. She lost sleep for a while, and didn't want to keep her by his side, so she ordered Sumala to pick something and asked Lan Qi to go see Mr. Ronggui for her.
Walking outside on a June day is very impressive, but a year has passed. Lan Qi’s body size when she made summer clothes this year was completely different. When she stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at herself, her previous thin and flat body looked like a different person.
As if, the scenery under the collarbone was getting plumper, needless to say, the waist size was obviously smaller, but it looked different. She never understood why, until Huan Chun pointed to her butt without shame and said, "Master
There's a lot of growth here, and of course the waist looks slimmer and more beautiful." Only then did she realize how much she had changed, but she never paid attention to it. She was being taken care of when she was dressing, bathing, and so on.
The only one who is self-conscious is that she has grown a lot taller. She used to be about the same height as Bu Chang, but unknowingly, she is already half a head taller than her. Even if she is not petite and petite, she can stand among the concubines.
What I saw at first glance was that she was slender and graceful. Because the Queen Mother did not see her every day, a few days ago she pulled her and said to the Queen Mother: "The longer this child gets, the better. The Queen Mother quickly asked Lan Qi to give birth to a little brother."
, with such a good figure, the child born will definitely be extremely beautiful."
But before he could go to serve in the Qianqing Palace, Rong Guiren was happy again. The emperor had always been very fond of the old people around him. The situation in the past ten years must have left an indelible memory in his life, and Wu Yalanqi
She almost entered the emperor's life when he was growing up. Even if San Francisco was not settled now, it was still better than the hardships and ups and downs in those ten years. Therefore, she never dared to be jealous of the existence of the Ronggui people. They had once served as the emperor.
What you have given may be something that you may not be able to match in the next few decades.
Whenever she thinks of this, Lan Qi feels very peaceful in her heart, hoping that what she has dreamed of for decades will come true. Although she also longs to have their child, she wants to have a healthy body and stay with him for a long time.
, it would be better to live as long as the Empress Dowager and Aunt Sumala.
Thinking about these things, I unknowingly arrived at Ronggui's place. There were many people here to greet her, but most of them were palace maids who came to greet her. It seemed that there were no gifts. When Ji Xin came to greet her, he whispered: "Before.
I still have lingering fears about everything, and I don’t dare to act recklessly. I just sent people from the palace to greet me or say hello. You are the third guest here."
Lan Qi smiled happily: "Hui Gui and Duan Gui always come earlier."
As he approached the bedroom, he heard the sweet voice of the eldest princess. Xuan Ye fulfilled his promise in May and gave the eldest princess to Duan Gui to raise him. Princess Chunxi was already five years old. Because she was the daughter of Prince Gong, although she was with
She doesn't look like the emperor, but she is pretty, cute, and smart. Since she entered the palace, the emperor's knees have been blooming for many years, so the Empress Dowager loves her even more. Now she is raised in Duan Gui's house, which is not as good as living in her elder brother's house all day long.
Surrounded by the old ladies and playing around with the beautiful young lady every day, she becomes more and more clever and cute.
"Mother, it's Wu Changzai who's here." The little princess heard the palace maid's report. She jumped out and threw herself into Lan Qi's arms. Lan Qi picked up the chubby little princess and made her laugh, "Chunxi
Have you eaten delicious food again these days?"
Duan Guiren came out soon after, saw Lan Qi hugging her, smiled and scolded: "You should take it easy, this little girl can't be held anymore. I almost lost my waist the day before yesterday."
As soon as he walked into the house, the whole room was cool and comfortable, and he didn't feel that the princess was clinging to him. The honorable nobleman still waved and said: "Chunxi, come here to eat some fruit. Let Wu Changzai blow in the wind to cool you down before you go play."
Rong Guiren himself has a three-year-old Princess Rongxian and a little brother, but it is a pity that he cannot keep them by his side. Although Chunxi is not his own child, as a mother, she likes the child very much when she sees the child. She hugs her and coaxes her to eat fruits.
Ask Lan Qi: "Where did it come from?"
Lan Qi just said that the Empress Dowager asked her to send a reward, and everyone in the room was busy getting up to salute and accept the favor. Lan Qi did not dare to stop it. The rules in the palace have always been like this. When everyone sat down again, someone from outside would send something.
Ji Xin is there to deal with it, they just sit and talk.
Chunxi suddenly asked delicately: "When will Emperor Ama come back? Huang Ama said that when she comes back from her trip this time, she will bring me a grasshopper."
Let’s say that the emperor was not in the palace. Because the tomb of Queen Hesheli was under construction again, the emperor and the prince went to pay homage in person. Everyone else stayed in the palace and would be back in two days. However, they missed the good news from the honorable nobleman. The nobleman was coaxed.
The princess said a few words and asked the wet nurse to take her away so that the sisters could talk.
Speaking of the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun to prepare for next year's general election, naturally no one from their four families wants to come in. Huigui counted them and said: "Concubine Zhao's sister will definitely enter the palace. She has not given birth for more than ten years. Niu Hulu
The people of the family are going to be anxious to death. I am afraid that the middle palace will also have a master in the general election next year. Looking at the current situation, Yikun Palace must be good. If a sister can come to give birth to a boy and a half girl for her, then she can raise them in the palace.
Only then can she sit more firmly. You can't see anything now, but in seven or eight years, we will all be older, and the Chengqian Palace will still be alive and well. How can she not be on guard." He also pointed at Lan Qi and said, "You too.
.”
Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was. She only heard Duan Guiren laugh: "You are young, but you will still be as fresh and graceful in another seven or eight years. Concubine Zhao and the rest of us are already in their thirties."
.”
Hui Gui also smiled, pointed at Rong Gui and Duan Gui and said, "Don't take me with you, I'm still a few years younger than you."
Joking aside, what women in the palace fear most is old age and beauty. As an emperor, the biggest responsibility of a woman is to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. New people come in every few years, but more or less new people become old people.
, but they didn’t even say a word to the emperor. The four people sitting here are considered very lucky. Judging from Bu Chang’s presence, even if there is a princess, how many times does she see the emperor a year? She has said it since entering the palace.
I can probably count them on one hand, and others who are not as good as her are even more pitiful. Lan Qi often listens to Hui Guiren and others saying that they should be open-minded and see clearly, but isn't this the case?
After they dispersed from Rong Guiren, the Empress Dowager said that walking around in the hot weather was hurting her health and did not want her to go back to recover, so she went directly back to Zhongcui Palace. When she passed by the gate of Chengqian Palace, she happened to see the female family members of Tong Mansion coming from
When they came out, they saw Lan Qi coming, and they came over to greet them very attentively. Lan Qi didn't dare to show off, and both bowed to signal to each other. The female family members there didn't say much, and only asked her to go first.
Returning to the dormitory, Huan Chun asked about today's events because he was not accompanying him. He mentioned that he had just met Concubine Tong's family. Huan Chun said: "It seems to be Mrs. Tong's birthday. The emperor and Concubine Tong both sent congratulatory gifts. The female family members came in."
I came here to thank you."
Yu Kui muttered from the side: "After all, it is the uncle's palace. Even if something like that happened, the emperor would look at it differently. If it were anyone else, he would have been silent."
"I'll have to sew your mouth shut with a needle someday." Huan Chun cursed and asked her to get some water for her master to wash up. Looking back, she saw Lan Qi smiling leisurely and scolding, "It's all spoiled by my master.
When you really get into trouble, you should feel bad."
"They are very well-behaved outside. They are all well-mannered." Lan Qi took off her clothes and climbed on the couch to fan herself. It was very hard for her to serve in Cining Palace every day, but the most difficult thing for her was to accompany her.
Other noble people often sit and talk with us. They all dress up and sit upright on a hot day. No one is at ease.
Yukui fetched water, and Huanchun twisted a handkerchief to wipe Lanqi's sweat. She tidied it up cleanly, then lay down and said lazily: "The Empress Dowager said that there will be old concubines entering the palace tomorrow. Let's go."
I don’t have to go there, it’s rare for me to have a day off. If I want to eat the jujubes floating in the well water, can you get them for me?”
But they left with the basin and no one paid attention to her. Lan Qi waited for a long time and no one came. She lost her temper and said, "If you continue to ignore me, I won't have dinner."
But Huan Chun came in with a plate of jujubes, and handed it to her with a smile: "You have been muttering for several days, how will the slaves not do their best? You lose your temper at every turn, why don't you go to the Empress Dowager to lose your temper?"
When he saw the delicious food, Xiao Chang Zai was happy. He sat cross-legged with a plate in his hands and ate several in one go to satisfy his craving. Then he lay down lazily and said to himself: "I didn't know that the emperor was so hot outside the palace."
It’s not hot, the Queen Mother is still worried today.”
Huan Chun didn't answer and waited quietly for a while. Sure enough, the master fell asleep tiredly. He came over and put a blanket around her waist. When he left, Yu Kui asked softly: "Now that Rong Gui is happy again, Your Majesty."
If you can't serve the person you like, it should be our master's turn anyway."
But Huan Chun was very reassured: "Why are you so jealous? If you are too lucky for a moment, the master will pay a heavy price. It is better to take things slowly and slowly. Isn't this the case for noble people?"
Lan Qi slept very comfortably. At night, the Cining Palace presented another royal meal. She took Bu Chang to eat together, but it was always a bitter summer when Bu was around. The hotter the day, the better her appetite.
We chatted and laughed with each other, and spent the next day lazily since we didn't have to go to Cining Palace, so the fatigue of these days was wiped away.
When I went to see the Empress Dowager again the day after tomorrow, the old man squinted his eyes and smiled, and said to Aunt Sumala: "This girl looks different every day, and she looks better today."
"I just want to look good and make you happy. I've been very diligent in dressing up today." She always did not hesitate to make the Empress Dowager happy, and she kept the old man entertained for a long time, which made her feel very satisfied. However, she was very happy this morning.
In the afternoon, I was looking forward to the emperor's return to the palace. News came from the front that Xuan Ye fell ill with a fever and cold. He was almost carried back to the palace. The Empress Dowager felt heavy for a moment. The emperor's body belonged to the imperial court and the country.
Fundamentally, it cannot be shaken at all.
"You go and take care of me. I can rest assured about Ronggui, but now that she is pregnant, she cannot move around. Huigui is having an uncomfortable time, and there is no one to like." The Empress Dowager saw Wu.
People are worthy of entrustment. Concubine Zhao can take care of the Sixth Palace, but she can't serve people. Concubine Tong can't be counted on. She knows all this in her heart. Only the person in front of her who knows both cold and hot is the most considerate, even if she is embarrassed in the past year.
After a while, he didn't care anymore and ordered, "There is no need to come here these days. When the emperor is in good health, you can go back and rest for a few days before coming to my place."
Lan Qi had always cared about Xuan Ye's body, and now she was ordered to take care of her. She walked even more hurriedly. When she arrived at Qianqing Palace, she was already sweating profusely. However, she saw Concubine Zhao coming out slowly in front of the door. She heard that she was the concubine.
The Empress Dowager appointed Wu Yashi to attend to the illness. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she was still very generous on her face and gently told her: "You must also take care of yourself." Then she left.
When Eunuch Li saw Wu Changzai coming, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Please come here, the emperor is angry and wants to urge the servant to show him the book. Please go and persuade him quickly. The imperial doctor said that he should rest for at least two days and then rest for at least two days."
You can’t waste your time on it.”
"The Empress Dowager does not allow the Emperor to read the papers. Prince Yu and the others are doing things outside. Don't worry about delays. You can take all the papers to other rooms. You can just keep the Emperor healthy these days. If there is anything urgent, just send them there first."
Cining Palace." Lan Qi ordered everyone matter-of-factly, but when Eunuch Li saw her aura, he smiled reassuringly.
When Lan Qi came in, Xuan Ye was leaning on the couch and frowning. He didn't know that she would come. He thought that Eunuch Li had come with a book, so he said in a deep nasal voice: "The book that Jinan government handed over yesterday, you first bring it to me."
Let me see."
"The Empress Dowager has decreed that the emperor should not touch the government affairs these days." Lan Qi stood in front of the ceremony door and said. Xuan Ye suddenly opened his eyes when he heard her voice. He seemed surprised, although it was not like the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.
But when I suddenly saw her, I felt indescribable joy in my heart, and the discomfort in my body relaxed a lot.
Seeing that there was no anger on the emperor's face, Lan Qi felt relieved, then she walked in with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, please don't annoy me and my concubines. This is the order of the Empress Dowager. It's easy for the Emperor to eat anything these days. It depends on the price.
I, my concubine, will go to Cining Palace to ask questions before I reply to you."
Xuan Ye stretched out his hand, and Lan Qi came over to hold it. She knelt beside him and accompanied him. He asked in a deep voice, "Grandma Huang wants you to come?"
"The Emperor doesn't like it?" Xiao Chang Zai, who has learned to be pretentious now, was lightly patted on the forehead by Xuan Ye, "I have a severe headache, please rub it for me."
There was a little eunuch over there who diligently brought a stool. She got up and twisted a cold handkerchief to cover his forehead. Then she sat aside and gently rubbed Xuan Ye's head. Her hands soaked in cold water were cold and soft. The force was just right, and the pain in the eyebrows of the person on the couch gradually relaxed, and the person who had just been upset soon fell asleep.
However, Xuan Ye was overworked, and he couldn't help but crave coolness when he was out in the heat. This time, the heat cold came fiercely, and his body was burning hot at night. Lan Qi stayed by her side undressed, and it took two days to get rid of the fever, and she didn't dare to be careless after that. , medicine was given continuously every day, and the Empress Dowager sent people twice a day to warn her grandson not to worry about court affairs. It took him seven or eight days to fully recover. It was easy to take care of him this time, and at a young age, The emperor is more energetic than before.
However, these seven or eight days of work have exhausted Xiao Changzai. She has almost never left Qianqing Palace. She washes, eats and rests here every day. The Empress Dowager asked Eunuch Li to clean up a palace specially for her. Everyone didn't know whether they should be envious of him or not. Although it was very hard to serve patients, not even Queen Hesheli had such treatment back then.
Fortunately, the envious person still understands the hard work of serving the disease, and is not so jealous that he hates Wu Changzai. He knows best how much she has sacrificed. After returning to the palace to wash up that day, knowing that the emperor was sleeping, I felt relieved for a moment. , I was so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously. The hard work of staying up late in the past few days has been accumulated in my body. I slept sweetly and comfortably. I woke up leisurely and saw that the sky was getting dark outside. I sat up in shock and hurriedly put on my shoes and clothes.
After a long time, she packed up and hurried to Xuan Ye's place. Eunuch Li asked if she wanted to pass on the meal, but heard the emperor say that he was not hungry. Lan Qi came in and asked if she had no appetite, and asked what she wanted to eat, but Xuan Ye looked at her. He frowned, but with a smile in his beautiful eyes, he reached out to her.
"What's wrong?" Lan Qi just approached, and the emperor suddenly reached out to her chest and gently pulled the clothes, "Why aren't the buttons fastened?"
Lan Qi was scared to death. She hurriedly buttoned up and touched her hair, fearing that something might be wrong with her. However, she was suddenly pulled over by Xuan Ye, who unbuttoned her buttons again. , and said with a deep smile, "I thought you had worked hard these past few days and were losing weight again. I didn't expect that the little clothes inside looked a bit tight. Can you let me take a look at it again?"
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me." Lan Qi struggled a little, but it was this struggle that brought out the thoughts in Xuan Ye's heart. He gently stroked her slender waist, "Did someone say that day? , what should I eat these days, is it easy?"
"Yes, but..." Lan Qi's heart was pounding, but she could not resist any more. She was already pulled to the couch by Xuan Ye. Just a few buckles were scattered under her neck, and they were all scattered in the blink of an eye. Already.
"Your Majesty, your body is not yet..." Lan Qi was about to persuade her when she was kissed heavily by Xuan Ye. The lingering kiss finally let go and slipped to her neck, but Xuan Ye smiled and said, "I can take good care of myself." I'm full of energy. If you don't let me read the book, I can only look at you."
The two people who used to be together every day were suddenly separated. Although they could still see each other, they had not seen each other for an unknown period of time. The little bodies that had not been touched for a long time had such fresh changes. Lan Qi had been close to her these days. When I was taking care of her, I could see through her clothes that she was different from before. Who would have thought about these things when she was so sick and heavy before, but in the past two days, she was getting better and better. A gentle and lovely person was always in front of her eyes, and her delicate hands could not move. Touching his forehead, washing and dressing himself, Xuan Ye is still young and full of energy.
There were not many clothes in summer, and the delicate little Chang was quickly exposed to the emperor's eyes without reservation. A few days ago, Xuan Ye was red with fever, and today it was Lan Qi's turn to make her skin turn red with embarrassment. She closed her eyes
She almost didn't dare to look at Xuan Ye. The good times in the past were still vivid in her mind. She hadn't been on a blind date for a long time. It was as if everything was starting over. She couldn't remember what she should do.
Xuan Ye's hands slid down from Lan Qi's waist, and the silky soft skin slid down to the plump part under the waist and was held in the palm of his hand. His body was no longer as thin as before, and the person in front of him had completely grown up. But suddenly something happened in his mind.
When the scene of Lan Qi being beaten that day appeared, she became angry for a moment and squeezed hard in her hand. Lan Qi couldn't help but tremble, opened her eyes, blushed and murmured: "Your Majesty..."
"Does it still hurt?" Xuan Ye gently touched the delicate area, which made Lan Qi feel itchy. But when he heard the emperor ask this question, he also recalled the pain of that day and the humiliation he suffered after that.
But it doesn't matter. In her heart, Xuan Ye always pretends to be impartial. A beating brings a short period of peace in the royal harem. Although the future road is still full of thorns, as long as she is by his side, as long as he understands her.
, everything is worth it.
"It won't hurt anymore." Lan Qi replied softly and smiled brightly at Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye leaned down and kissed her lovingly, breathing ambiguously, "Then I won't hurt you for a while."
The little man laughed out loud and struggled to get away, but was restrained more tightly by the person on his body. The fire in the hearts of both sides was ready to come out. They kissed passionately and caressed each other. That day, Lan Qi promised the emperor to eat whatever he wanted.
She didn't dare to say this last sentence again.
On a midsummer night, in the cool dormitory, after a long separation, when the sweaty Xiao Chang finally took a breath, Xuan Ye kissed her passionately and said: "I always feel that I have never been separated from you.
.”
Lan Qi's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. Didn't she always think so?
