She fell on the bed, her beautiful face, pale complexion, chapped lips, coughing, looking out of the palace, and asked sadly: "Is the emperor here?"
The palace was full of maids and eunuchs kneeling, but no one dared to speak.
The emperor didn't come.
I haven't been back since I left that day.
If it were in the past, it would be okay if the emperor did not enter the harem.
But today is different from the past. The emperor went to Youlanxuan every night.
Although Xiangxiu sent people to inquire and found out that the emperor did not really favor Lan Bin, but he was promoted without favor, from Lan Bin to Lan Guifei, and was promoted two levels in a row, which still made her extremely jealous.
Sang Ruoshui entered the palace with Zhou Jinglan and didn't deal with her when they were in the boudoir. How could he watch her rise step by step?
Moreover, you are not really favored now. When you are really favored, it will be too late.
"Can't."
"I can't lose."
"No matter what the cost, I can't lose."
She closed her eyes, shed tears, clenched the mattress tightly with her fingers, and murmured unwillingly.

Sangfu
Sang Yan once again entered the courtyard of the original owner's mother.
This time, I unexpectedly met Sang Kun, the father of the original owner.
Sang Kun is over forty-one years old and has good looks. Obviously, the beauty genes of the Sang sisters come from him.
To put it bluntly, it was his good looks that first caught his eye, and then won his father's appreciation.
However, now that I have a beautiful beard, it’s hard to explain.
"Father, mother——"
Sang Yan looked away, bowed Yingying, and saluted them.
Sang Kun sat in the main seat, looked at his beautiful daughter, and smiled kindly: "Ayan, please take a seat."
Sang Yan sat down.
She remained silent and waited for him to be exposed.
Sang Kun didn't let her wait too long and said: "Ayan, your mother sent you to Zhuangzi because of her stupidity. Can you blame her in your heart?"
He didn't think it was a bad thing that Sang Yan caught the emperor's eye.
Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger.
If Sang Yan can be the first to give birth to an imperial heir, it will be a great achievement for the country and the people, and it will be a good thing for the Sang family to change their family!
The mother clan of the future prince!
Isn't it just for this great blessing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty unanimously promoted the birth of the country?
Sang Yan didn't know what her father was thinking, so she smiled slightly and said pleasantly: "How could it be? Whatever a mother does, she has her own reasons. As children, it is already a great unfilial piety to not share the worries of their parents, so how can they complain?
parents?"
Hearing what she said, Sang Kun stroked his beautiful beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Good boy. I know your filial piety. Now there is indeed something that requires you to be filial."
Sang Yan: "..."
Oops.
She seems to have taken the wrong turn.
Being too filial is foolish filial piety.
"You should never have left the palace in the first place."
Sang Kun's words made her heart sink a little bit.
"Now that your sister is sick, you should go to the palace again."
Sure enough, it was still for Sang Ruoshui.
"She is perfectly fine, how could she get sick?"
Sang Yan didn't want to enter the palace and doubted the authenticity of his words.
Isn't Sang Ruoshui in trouble?
Her temperament caused some trouble, and it was too simple.
Sang Kun didn't hide it, and sighed: "Your sister has been spoiled by us. She is sensitive and fragile, and it is difficult to become a great person. You have been smart since you were a child, so you should go to the palace to understand her more."
As for the emperor's interest in her, it is only possible and cannot be said for the time being. It is better to let nature take its course.
"Can I not go?"
Sang Yan thought about it and still didn't want to go.
Sang Kun was puzzled: "Why?"
Sang Yan said: "She doesn't like me. When I was in the palace, she had a problem with me and wouldn't listen to me."
Sang Kun read Sang Ruoshui's letter and knew that there was a rift between the sisters, so he said: "It won't happen this time. She wrote the letter in person asking you to enter the palace. You will know when you enter the palace. Ayan, we are a family
.That’s your biological sister.”
This is family kidnapping.
Sang Yan knew very well, but also knew that she couldn't refuse.
This is a patriarchal society, and she is a salty fish. Unlike those omnipotent heroines in novels, she can only work hard to be bad.
"I see."
"Good boy."
Sang Kun laughed and stood up, walked to Sang Yan, patted her shoulder, and said solemnly: "I believe you two sisters will definitely make a difference in the palace."
Sang Yan: "..."
Thanks.
She refused in her heart.
Sang Kun started to call people to pack things.
Lin was a meek person, and did not dare to say anything against Sang Kun in front of him. She only dared to remind him in a low voice after he left: "When you enter the palace this time, be sure to stay away from the emperor. He is someone we cannot afford to think about."
Your father was blinded by power, you cannot imitate him."
"I know. Mother."
Sang Yan was very pleased that there were still people in this family who really cared about the original owner.
Even for the mother of the original owner, she had to go to the palace to help a bunch of Sang Ruoshui.

royal palace
Youlanxuan
He Ying sat at the tea table by the window, sipping the scented tea brewed by Concubine Lan, and praised: "Good tea. It is sweet in the mouth and has a long-lasting fragrance. My beloved concubine is indeed a pure orchid heart, and she has won my heart."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Concubine Lan smiled shyly and said softly: "This flower comes from Minzhou. Thanks to the emperor's recovery of the lost land, I have the opportunity to brew this tea and taste it with the emperor."
She is the daughter of Zhou Mao, the Minister of Rites.
A few days ago, the Dahe territory map presented by her father gave her the opportunity to catch the emperor's eye.
Concubine Lan, Zhou Jinglan, lives up to her name, a quiet girl with a beautiful orchid heart.
"My beloved, what a mouth -"
He Ying picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he passed on rewards with a smile.
All the maids and eunuchs in the palace were very happy and knelt down to thank him.
The same goes for Zhou Jinglan.
No one saw that the smile in the emperor's eyes did not reach his eyes.
A moment.
The imperial eunuch Pei Muyang walked in, knelt down in front of the emperor, and whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has entered the palace."
He was recently promoted.
He is young and handsome, has a sweet mouth, and is extremely flattering, almost eclipsing the power of the eunuch chief Yu Huaide.
He Ying really laughed after hearing this.
His brows were stretched, his cold eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze blowing, and there were dots of smiles flowing gently.
The whole figure seemed to be glowing.
"Why is the emperor so happy?"
Zhou Jinglan had never seen He Ying smile like this before, so she asked.
When He Ying heard her voice, he suppressed a smile and said lightly: "It's nothing."
But his rabbit is back.
"I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He stood up and left immediately.
There's still no time for a cup of tea.
Very suddenly.
He used to stay for half a day.
Zhou Jinglan didn't know what she had done wrong. She was very nervous and subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull his sleeve: "Your Majesty——"
"presumptuous!"
He Ying looked at the hand that almost touched his sleeve, his face was cold, his eyes were fierce, and the warmth he had just shown was gone.
Zhou Jinglan turned pale with fright: "Your Majesty, forgive me."
He Ying walked out of Youlanxuan with a cold face and said nothing.
Zhou Jinglan saw that the emperor was so heartless, her body softened, and she fell into Mingtao's arms, murmuring: "Ming, Mingtao, I, I feel...I'm done."
Mingtao was Concubine Lan's confidant. She helped her sit on the soft couch and whispered: "My queen, please don't say that. No one in the palace knows that except for the queen in name only, you have the highest status and the most important position."
She is favored. Just now...just now, maybe the emperor was afraid of getting sick, so he got angry at the empress."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Jinglan thought about the emperor's cold eyes, and felt very cold in her heart. She felt that the recent favor was just a sweet dream.
