*****

The timid eyes are full of cuteness and cuteness. She was like this when she was by my side in the past. She likes it if she likes it, and doesn't like it if she doesn't like it. Love, it's been a long time since I saw her look like this, Xuan Ye felt that the mutton in the bowl was tasteless for a while, and just wanted to look at her quietly like this.

Seeing that the emperor even put down the bowls and chopsticks, Lan Qi really felt that he was here to test her, so she said how could it be so good, and gave her such a big leg of lamb for no reason, and the four of them, master and servant, would eat it together For a long time, it seemed that he deliberately wanted to trap himself in the palace, and he couldn't go out if he couldn't recite it.He couldn't help lowering his eyes, and said frankly: "Your Majesty, those books are too difficult and difficult to pronounce. If you memorize the books you don't understand, you will forget everything after you memorize them."

But he was lightly tapped on the forehead with chopsticks, "When I was young, Huang Ama came to study in the study, if you replied like this, all the attendants and eunuchs around me would be beaten to death."

Lan Qi thought to herself, so you are the emperor and I am always there, so it is different.For a moment there was a smile on her face, and Xuan Ye saw it, but she was helpless and liked it, so she put down her chopsticks and pulled her up, "Are you full, sit with me, I am very happy today."

"Yes." Lan Qi agreed, and went to the door to call someone in to put away the open fire stove. Huan Chun quickly came to take care of her today, to refresh and clean the incense burner, and it didn't take long.

Xuan Ye was resting on the heated kang, seeing Lan Qi brought tea, let her sit beside her and talked, and praised: "The people around you are very nimble."

Lan Qi smiled: "They love their concubines very much, and they are straightforward in their work."

"I just can't control you." Xuan Ye said with a smile, and seeing Lan Qi blushing, he stretched out his hand to gently hold her in his arms, "Just sit for a while, I still have some papers to read, and I suddenly miss you so much, so I came here .”

"Yeah." Lan Qi replied, without asking why or anything. When he was serving in Qianqing Palace, he was tired from reading the booklets, and he liked to sit with her arms around her for a while, or take a nap or talk for a while. After a while, he returned to his desk when he was full of energy again. Maybe some people thought that the emperor and Wu Chang were having fun every night in the Qianqing Palace, but in fact, this emperor who worked hard to govern, spent more time doing business.

Although this snuggling scene has never happened since before the spring of last year, just like walking under the moon that day, Wu Yalanqi doesn't feel that she has been away from the emperor for a long time, and she doesn't feel that this kind of warmth is strange. Never separated, never had those unpleasant things, lazily leaning on the emperor, having a full meal, Xiao Changzai felt a little sleepy, afraid of delaying his attendant, he immediately sat up and patted her cheek, Xuanye asked her what was wrong, She honestly said that it was too comfortable to rely on, and she would fall asleep if she became more confused.

"Then I'll talk to you." Xuan Ye didn't want to get together for a short time to see her fall asleep carelessly, and said with a smile, "Guess why I'm happy today?"

Lan Qi shook her head, tilted her head to think again, and suddenly thought about it, but she didn't dare to mention those things, but Xuan Ye saw through her thoughts and said: "It's just a few casual chats, how can I care about you." Little man Then he asked cheerfully, "The emperor is happy, but what about San Francisco?"

Sure enough, seeing the emperor's face was overjoyed, he said with a smile, "The news of the rebellion gradually came, and Geng Jingzhong is already a grasshopper after autumn. When they are exhausted, it will be over in Yunnan." He stretched out his hand and pinched her gently on the face. He said, "It turns out that I not only know how to play around the stove in the snow, but also listen to things outside."

Lan Qi smiled foolishly, "Serving tea in front of the Empress Dowager, I often hear Mammy Su Mala and the Empress Dowager talk about these things, otherwise, where would the concubines find out, every time I hear it, I feel very happy, and I look forward to the emperor's early return." Ping San Francisco."

Only then did the emperor sigh: "The imperial grandmother is always worried about me and the court. I must be more diligent in politics, so that I hope that the imperial grandmother will let go of these worries earlier and live in peace and contentment."

Afterwards, the two talked quietly for a while, Xuan Ye didn't stay for long, Lan Qi sent him to the door when parting, Xuan Ye called Eunuch Li over, Eunuch Li handed a few books with both hands and said: "These books are for now. The most fashionable idle book in the capital, the emperor told Wu Changzai to read it quickly, so that the emperor can continue to read it."

The little man's eyes lit up, and he took it away in a hurry.Seeing that she was so happy with just a little thing, Xuan Ye felt warm and at ease.From the first night when I saw her on the dragon couch in Qianqing Palace, I never concealed my inner joy or sadness. I thought that if she read more books, she would become different from before, but besides being more open-minded, she was more open-minded. Things are calmer, but the essence has not changed. There are often messages from Madam Su Mala, and only he listens, knowing that the person in front of him has not changed.

"Take a rest earlier." With these simple words, Xuan Ye no longer hesitated, turned around and hid in the night. Lan Qi waited for a long time in front of the door, until her body gradually became cold, and was persuaded by Huan Chun to go back , Sleeping with those books clutched at night, my heart is full, the grievances I have had have dissipated, knowing that he has always had himself in his heart, knowing that he has something happy to be the first to come and tell himself, even in the future She is also willing to spend her life in such a low-key way.

Victory at the front line is like a spring breeze blowing across the government and the countryside. Before the winter cold fades, a hundred flowers bloom, and the spring is already blooming inside and outside the palace. Whenever Lan Qi serves in the Palace of Compassion, she can always hear the happy laughter of the Empress Dowager. She hides it occasionally. I can't help but tell the old people the stories I read in the idle books, which makes the empress dowager like it.

In addition, when military expenditures were tight before, Concubine Zhao tried her best to save the palace expenses. Although the money saved was limited, it was better than nothing. Caring about her, coupled with the fact that Niu Hulu's previous lessons have been restrained a lot, the relationship with the royal family finally has a turning point.

The one who was indignant about this was naturally Concubine Tong. She entered the palace gracefully and snatched away all the glory of Concubine Zhao, but who knew that not long after Daxi became pregnant, she lost her child due to her own weakness. In the confinement situation in the palace, Concubine Zhao wins people's hearts and does everything well. Perhaps, this is not as good as heaven's calculation.

Little concubine Tong has a lot of grievances, and she doesn't like anyone. After confinement, a concubine came to pay her respects, and it was embarrassing to be ridiculed. After a long time, no one else came, and she felt resentful and felt that she was underestimated. He never gave a good face, and the hearts of the people who had been won over by relying on power and money were almost gone.

Before the beginning of summer, there was good news in the palace. Dong Changzai, who had been silent for a long time, was pregnant again. Like Mr. Ronggui, she served the emperor at the earliest. What happened in those years was unimaginable to later generations, but they all imprinted on her heart. In the hearts of the emperor and them, even though there have been many new favorites in recent years, the emperor always misses an old love.

And because of the frequent success reports from the imperial court recently, this happy event was added to the harem. Once the empress dowager was happy, she made an exception and promoted Dong Changzai to be a nobleman, and even gave him the title Duan to show her favor.Among the concubines, Rong Gui was the happiest, but the sisters agreed to keep a distance in order not to be the target of public criticism and to be safe.

On this day, the noble lady went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to thank her and pay her respects. At the beginning, she and the honorable lady were both personally selected by the Empress Dowager to be sent to the emperor. The past ten years have passed by in a flash. Thinking back to the ups and downs of the previous dynasty and the harem during this long period of time , the old man couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions, and after a few words of advice, he asked Lan Qi who was with her to send her back. Because of his gratitude to God's blessing, he entered the Buddhist hall to chant sutras, and no outsiders were allowed to disturb him.

Lan Qi has no contact with Duan Guiren, she only remembers meeting once when she was with Bu Chang, the sadness and sadness on this woman's face at that time is still fresh in my memory, but now I can only see her face flushed and beaming, Duan Guiren has a gentle temperament and is easy to talk , because there was a soft sedan chair given by the emperor, so he invited Lan Qi to sit with him, and invited her to his palace for a cup of tea.

Because the Empress Dowager asked her to send her back in person, Lan Qi didn't dare to be lazy, so she sat in the soft sedan chair with her and chatted a few things about family matters before leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

On the way, while talking about Lan Qi taking care of Bu Chang in the past, the soft sedan suddenly jolted and stopped in a panic. Lan Qi supported Duan Guiren and asked nervously outside: "What's wrong?"

Only Huan Chun's voice sounded, and said through the curtain: "Concubine Tong is ahead."

The two looked at each other. Although the nobleman seldom went out to show his face, he also knew that Concubine Tong had a strong temper, so he hurriedly helped them get off the sedan chair. Sure enough, he saw Concubine Tong slowly approaching her shoulders, looking down at her from above, which made people feel intimidated. .

"I said who was blocking the way. It turned out to be noble Duan, disrespectful and disrespectful." Concubine Tong smiled coldly, squinted at Lan Qi beside her, and asked disdainfully, "Grand Duan's sedan chair was given by the emperor. Why does Wu Changzai sit with him? There are really no rules."

Lan Qi didn't dare to argue, but she was worried that the honorable Duan who was also kneeling next to her would not be able to stand up for a long time, so she blurted out in a moment of impatience, "Major, can you let nobleman Duan get up, the sedan chair shook just now, I'm afraid..."

"What are you saying, do you mean that this palace wants to harm people?" Concubine Tong's eyes were sharp, and she waited fiercely for Lan Qi, with a sneer on her lips, "It is said that you are the most inconspicuous one who is bored in Zhongcui Palace, but Bengong thinks that you are more thoughtful than anyone else. It doesn't matter if you make the empress dowager happy, you can go to where there is excitement among the concubines. Besides, the emperor often goes to Chengqian Palace, and you live in the back relying on yourself, from time to time What kind of deceitful activities are you doing, and you still don’t know if you are my palace?"

Ordinarily, no matter how bad-tempered Concubine Tong is, she wouldn't be able to say such a load of nonsense out of nowhere. It's just that she just came from Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Zhao went to the emperor's side before her. , those servants didn't go to report, and blocked her out of the door abruptly. Just when I was full of resentment, I met such two people, one was just pregnant, and the other was quietly dominating In the emperor's heart, how could she have a good face.

Although nobleman Duan has a good temper, he has been in this palace for more than ten years, and he always has a temper in his heart. Seeing that Concubine Tong is deliberately provoking trouble, he became angry for a while, and explained for Lan Qi: "It is the concubine who invited Wu Chang Together, the Empress Dowager asked Wu Changzai to send his concubines back."

Concubine Tong suddenly became angry. Just now those slaves opened their mouths and shut up the emperor's decree to see no one else, and now they are being suppressed by the empress dowager. The co-author knows that she has been embarrassed by both sides recently, and deliberately disgusted her, angry Then he stared at the two of them and said: "Okay, then I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask the Empress Dowager if there is anything wrong with you. You kneel here and wait for my palace to send someone to deliver a message. If there are lies, If you commit the following crimes, the crime will not be light."
