Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2386 Seven Volumes 89 An Lan (Bi)

How can Wanxi fail to understand what the emperor is asking~~
She sighed softly, lowered her head, and rubbed the "filament sachet pressing lapel" on the right lapel with her fingertips.

This pressing placket is in the shape of a double-layer flower basket. Lift the silver chain above the flower basket to close the flower basket, loosen the silver chain and the flower basket will automatically open.

The purpose of the flower basket is a sachet: spices can be stored in the flower basket, and the fragrance can be seen through the perforated holes on the flower basket.

In the past in the palace, it was used to press the lapel, but Wanxi didn't often bother too much.In winter, according to the rules in the palace, the heads of the inner court all use gold jewelry, and Wanxi usually just hangs the fragrant bead bracelet on the second button of the skirt, and uses "wood" to match the gold;

During the spring and summer stays in the palace, she had to change into jade jewelry, and she usually hung the keepsake given by the emperor many years ago - the white jade gourd pendant, on the button.

Almost from the day when she became a concubine, she tried her best to wear plain clothes and jewelry in the palace, and did not rely on these extraneous things to attract attention and win over the king's heart.

But at this time, it was the southern tour. Firstly, Jiangnan was originally full of elegance, and secondly, she was already the emperor's noble concubine. Dressing solemnly was the minimum respect for the emperor and the people on both sides of the canal.

That's why she chose a flower basket sachet with a pressed lapel that was refined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Manufacturing Office.

The lapel is made of plain silver and burnt blue, and the flower basket and sachet hang down with long tassels.With the light movement of the lotus steps, the fragrance in the flower basket sachet faintly diffuses around the body, and the plain silver and burnt blue tassels also flow with it, just like the shadow of the sun reflecting on the water.

Wanxi's clothes all over her body this week are in accordance with the regulations, either in auspicious clothes or casual clothes, and she doesn't make any extra plans; she only uses such a small buttoned lapel to reveal a little bit of thought.

It's just that she suddenly regretted it at this moment - because the lapel just happened to be on her position.

Sure enough, when the emperor saw her looking down at the lapel, he chuckled lightly and said in a low voice, "I just smell the fragrance, but I don't know why. Looking up at the young woman, her chest moved."

"Bah!" Wanxi spat lightly, her heart beating like a rabbit, she hurriedly turned her back, carefully avoiding Yuchan and the others' faces.

What's more, this meeting is still on the curved bridge in the imperial garden, and the front, back, left, and right sides are surrounded by beautiful scenery and sparkling water, which makes people more easily fascinated, and it is a bit difficult to control.

Wanxi was a little shy, after all, Yuchan and Yuying were still waiting nearby, so how could the emperor's words be heard by the girls?Wanxi was so annoyed that she refused to turn around.

In fact, when Yuchan and Yuying saw the emperor coming, they had already retreated several steps and distanced themselves.It's just because they are still on the curved bridge at this moment, and the two of them are always worried about their master wearing such high flag shoes, and they need to wait nearby.

Otherwise, it would have gone to escape on its own before long.

"...The Lord also asked, why did the Lord forget it? It was the Lord himself who ordered the slaves back then. For this southern tour, the slaves have to make arrangements for feeding Xiao Shiwu himself. When Qiu Xi came back during the month, he had already fed little Shiwu less."

Wanxi blushed and glanced at the emperor, couldn't help but leaned closer and muttered in a low voice, "The slave will go to Mulan for almost three months, and the slave will be careful to maintain it so that he hasn't completely returned to the milk; but if you return to the palace Where can there be as many as before?"

"Could it be...could the master treat the slave as a cow?"

The emperor laughed and bowed his head in embarrassment, "But you are in Mulan, so I still don't ask you to touch it. My father knew that although you were outside at that time, you were still careful to maintain it. Didn't you secretly hide in the back tent every day?" Squeeze it out, so that it will not be blocked, and go back completely?"

Wanxi sighed sadly but also contentedly, "Although it was nearly three months after that meeting, because the servant was so careful to maintain it, it will never go back in Mulan; I was able to feed it for another two months, making up for Mulan's two months."

"In this way, if you add up the inside and outside, you will be able to feed the little fifteen for a whole year. The slave has long begged with the master, at least if he feeds him to one year old, then the slave has already fulfilled his wish. Therefore, Since Luan left Beijing with my master on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the servant has been drinking milk soup."

"It's been a whole month since the twelfth day of the first lunar month, so..." Wanxi blushed again when she said this, "As long as the imperial doctors selected by the emperor to enter the imperial hospital won't mix up milk soup by mistake." Fang Zi, if you think about it, you won’t make mistakes, you will definitely be able to go back, it’s just a matter of time..."

As Wanxi said, she couldn't help wrapping her fingertips around the tassels on the lapel.Plain silver and burnt blue are woven into tiny silver rings that are connected with each other, such a circle, like the ripples of sunlight reflected on the surface of the water.

The emperor understood it, and imitated her playful way and spat, "Hey, you deliberately didn't say anything to death~ Did you go back after all? What do you mean sooner or later?"

A 52-year-old "elderly man" is still imitating a woman's way of holding and twisting her words, and Wanxi is already laughing so hard that she can't stand upright.

It's just that this is a curved bridge, not a straight bridge deck; and in order to blend in with nature, the owner of the Chen family simply gave up the bridge railings, so that the bridge deck of the curved bridge is directly attached to the water.When she smiled like this, her body swayed, and the emperor quickly supported her, reminding "be careful" in a muffled voice.

Wanxi knew that the emperor was going to see the embankment of the seawall today, and he must still be preoccupied with something, even if he came back to chat and laugh with her at this moment, it was only a temporary relief.

She quickly put away her jokes, and didn't make any more mistakes. She blushed and put her hand on the emperor's hand, and squeezed it lightly, "...I've already gone back."

The emperor smiled quietly, turned his wrist and clenched Wanxi's hand tightly.Then, with a little force, they already held Wanxi's hand, and walked back together.

Walking all the way, all the way down the eyes, only smiling, staring at Wanxi's face and smiling.

It's just that this is not a straight bridge, but a curved bridge. The emperor just stared at her and smiled, and Wanxi couldn't help worrying that the emperor made a wrong step ahead and stepped directly into the water.

Wanxi couldn't just say that the emperor was staring at her, so she coughed lightly and reminded, "Why does the emperor keep staring at this filigree flower basket sachet pressed by this slave? After all, it is the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What kind of objects do you want to make in the building office? Didn’t you draw a sample for the emperor in advance to ask for an order? So the slave thought, the emperor must have seen this long ago, and it is not new. yes."

The emperor understood, and smiled, "My lord is thinking, if you want to name this sachet, what should you call it?"

Wanxi was slightly taken aback, raised her eyes to glance at the emperor, and said to herself: What's wrong with the emperor today?Do you even have to give a name to a pressed lapel?

But Wanxi immediately had a ready-made child in her heart.

The emperor came to Haining to inspect the embankment of the seawall.The emperor's mind couldn't be more clear.

Furthermore, this lapel is made of plain silver and burnt blue, which is more suitable for the water color and skylight in the south of the Yangtze River.Especially the long tassels are the best. With the movement of footsteps, they are like water waves reflecting the sun, shimmering and turning.

Wanxi lowered her eyes, "...An Lan."
.
The emperor stopped suddenly, his heart suffocated slightly.

"Can you say that again."

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled slightly, then raised her eyes firmly, meeting the emperor's long eyes brightly.

"The slave said that he would like to name his mood as 'An Lan'."

The emperor's long eyebrows were raised, and his face was already full of a smile.

"Why?"

Wanxi let out a breath, but looked back at this corner of the garden.

"Because this is Haining. "Haining" naturally reminds people of the meaning of "haiyanning and peace". The servant thought that Haining not only has the sea, but also has many inland water networks. I heard that there is the famous Qiantang Jiang Dachao..."

"The servant thought, why not add another wish, which is 'An Lan'."

The emperor's long eyes reflected the water-colored sky, and they also rippled slightly, "An Lan...'An Lan in the world is better than a house', well said!"

As the Son of Heaven, my greatest wish is Haiyan Heqing and Yongqing Anlan.The place name of Haining already contains the meaning of "Haiyan", if there is another "Anlan", it will be icing on the cake.

The emperor couldn't help clapping his hands, "Well said! Gao Yuncong, deliver the decree, I named Yuyuan 'Anlan Garden'!"
.
In such a beautiful Jiangnan private garden, even Wanxi couldn't help but come out for a stroll, so in fact, Wanxi was already more than one person in this garden.

It's just that Wanxi was on the curved bridge in the water, so the man avoided to the pavilion on the rockery in the distance.

Originally, there was a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, and she quietly observed Wanxi; but unexpectedly, the emperor came.

In addition to the nine bends and eighteen bends in the scenery on the bridge, the two people looked at each other from time to time, and then clasped their fingers together.The person on the gazebo really got the word "cool" solid.

After all, I still couldn't pretend that I couldn't see it, so I called the little girl with good ears to find out.But there was no need to wait for the little girl to run back to report, the water wind had already brought the emperor's sonorous voice to his ears from afar.

"Anlan Garden? The emperor named this corner garden 'Anlan Garden'?" After all, he clenched the veil tightly and couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

"Why didn't I have this idea first? Because my brother-in-law's name is An Ning, and he also works in Jiangnan! If there is peace in the sea pond here as a blessing, the emperor will be happy when he comes, and he will naturally think of my brother-in-law—" ——My brother-in-law's name is so auspicious, and there is such a person as an official in Jiangsu, isn't it auspicious for the emperor?"

In the spring of March, the water ripples are shimmering with light and shadows, reflecting the warm sun; but the rockery is a bit shaded, which makes you feel that the warm spring sun is too far away, and you only feel the cool mountain wind.

"...I originally thought that after the emperor returned from going to the seawall today, he would go to pay his respects to the emperor and wish the seawall peace."

It's just that the emperor didn't expect the emperor to come back, and before she went to pay her respects, the emperor came to find the imperial concubine first.

And Concubine Ling gave such a heart to her first!

After all, everyone in the harem who accompanied him knew what the emperor was doing today.Therefore, in fact, such a heart is ready-made, and anyone would say such auspicious words in front of the emperor-that makes the imperial concubine nothing higher than others, she just has a very good life, and everything is just in time Going ahead of others, the emperor thought she was the most caring and sensible!

Concubine Xin clenched her fingertips tightly.

The heads of the inner court of the Qianlong Dynasty didn't wear nail gloves very much, except for the very heavy-duty and old-fashioned old Manchu Gege like Nala's.Concubine Xin's long nails grew so naturally, all ten fingers were empty, and there was no nail cover.

But even so, it still hurts when her long nails dig into the flesh.

What's more, the pain was caused by my own nails picking at my own flesh, and it was different from picking at my flesh with fingernails. It was a bit of despair like suicide.

"She is the most cunning and the best at fighting for favor. I have been taught for many years, so it's not surprising. She snatched this first son at this moment. Naturally, I can think of a better way. I It's just a pity that my brother-in-law's such a good name happened to be used on the Haining embankment, which was a great opportunity, but she messed it up!"

Concubine Xin gritted her teeth as she spoke, and walked down the hill suddenly.
.
Le Rong was startled, and hurriedly chased after her. While following Concubine Xin, she hurriedly asked, "Master! What are you going to do, master? At least the master can make the servant understand."

Le Yi also said, "If the master has any orders, I ask the slaves to do it. Why does the master have to go in such a hurry?"

Concubine Xin gritted her teeth lightly, "What are you doing! She is the emperor's chief of the inner court, and I am also the emperor's chief of the inner court; if she is allowed to greet the emperor, are you not allowed to greet the emperor as well?"

"I don't believe in this evil, so I will go to the water's edge to wait for the emperor, and greet the emperor face to face!"

"master!"

Both Le Rong and Le Yi were in a hurry, and quickly ran two steps from left to right to hold Concubine Xin's arm, "...Master just wants to greet the emperor, so why bother now? She is here now , the master rushes over to pay his respects, how can he get his wish?"

Concubine Xin gritted her teeth lightly, "I used to think the same way, so I've been so stupid and cold for so many years. Now I finally show signs of regaining my favor, and I finally accompanied the emperor to Jiangnan, so I can no longer be the same as before. I just waited. Even if she is there, I can't avoid it any longer."

"I just want to fight with her, just in front of her face! After all, I'm ten years younger than her, so I don't believe I won't win her!"

Concubine Xin's mind was made up, neither Le Rong nor Le Yi could stop her, Concubine Xin swung her arms away from the two of them, stepped on her flag shoes and went down the rockery and ran to the water's edge.
.
The emperor held Wanxi's hand, and just walked around the nine bends of the Naqu Bridge and came to the water bank.

Concubine Xin was already waiting by the water, bowing to the emperor Yingying.

"My concubine, please greet the emperor, and please greet the imperial concubine and empress."

Wanxi couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly, staring quietly at Concubine Xin.

——Concubine Xin is in a hurry
Wanxi smiled instead, "Why is Sister Xinpin here? But she saw me on the rockery, so come down to say hello to me?"

As she spoke, Wanxi stepped forward and held Concubine Xin's elbow, "Sister Xin is too polite, how can I be worthy of it."

Concubine Xin was startled in embarrassment, her arms subconsciously tried to avoid Wanxi's hand.

She needs someone to help her, but she is not waiting for Wanxi.But Wanxi stepped forward to support her elbow so early, even if the emperor wanted to come up to help her, he would have no chance, right?

Concubine Xin refused embarrassingly, "It's the imperial concubine who is too polite. How dare I ask the imperial concubine to help me up?"

"Look at what you said, who should we sisters talk to when we have something to do? Did sister Xin forget how close she was to me when she first entered the palace?" He tightened Concubine Xin's elbow and lifted it up, making it inconvenient for Concubine Xin to fall down.

"At that time, our sisters lived together in my Yongshou Palace, and my sister was the first sister who could live with me in Yongshou Palace before Ruigui came to Feng... At that time, we wished we could have the same meal. In a bowl, the chopsticks are almost the same, so why do I just help my sister?"

Wanxi said, turning her eyes to the emperor and deliberately glaring at the emperor, "It's because the emperor came suddenly, but sister Xin was caught off guard, and she became restrained when she saw me, didn't she?"

"The emperor... Sister Xin doesn't want to see the emperor~"
.
Concubine Xin knew that she had endured it, but now she couldn't bear it any longer, and the anger in her heart arose.

She raised her head to stare at Wanxi, and sneered, "I don't understand what the imperial concubine is saying! How can I not want to see the emperor? The concubine is clearly here to greet the emperor!"

Concubine Xin stepped abruptly as she spoke, broke away from Wanxi's grasp, and went to the emperor to salute again.

"My concubine asks for the emperor's peace. I heard that the emperor went to inspect the seawall dam today. I am a woman. Although I am unable to help the emperor stabilize the dam, I am still willing to share the emperor's worries."

"My concubine wishes the sea to be peaceful, the sea in the south of the Yangtze River to be clear, and the emperor's country to be eternal."

The words in her heart were finally spoken out, Concubine Xin also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
.
The emperor smiled slightly and listened lightly.

After Concubine Xin finished speaking, Emperor Fang nodded, "Haicang is peaceful... Well, Concubine Xin, you have a heart."

Concubine Xin was overjoyed when she heard that the emperor also used her "Xin" homonym for "Have a heart", so she quoted a line from "Zhuangzi" and bowed gracefully, "May the world be peaceful, so as to live the lives of the people."

When Concubine Xin's words came to this point, Wanxi understood clearly in her heart.Wanxi couldn't help raising her eyes to stare at the emperor.

In conclusion, if the emperor believes what Concubine Xin said, then there will be; if the emperor does not believe it, then there will be nothing.

Just like the name Jiqing, it is no less than An Ning, and it is also an excellent name for lip service.However, the emperor was still able to punish Jiqing when the empress dowager was 70 years old, and sentenced her to be beheaded.

Therefore, in this world, there is no name that is so auspicious as to save someone's life.Whether he can survive depends only on whether he has committed a crime, and whether that crime is a crime that must die in the emperor's heart.

Feeling Wanxi's gaze, the emperor couldn't help but raise his eyes to meet Wanxi's gaze with a smile.Wanxi glared deliberately, then turned away.

The emperor just smiled, and looked back at Concubine Xin.

"You are right. Peace in the world is the wish of the people, and it is also my wish."

Concubine Xin was even more delighted, so she saluted again, "Hearing the emperor mentioned 'an Ning', I was in a daze for a moment, and thought that my brother-in-law had gone to my mother's house, and asked the emperor to punish me."

The corner of the emperor's lips curled slightly, "Your brother-in-law's name is An Ning, and he worked for me in the south of the Yangtze River before you were born, and I have long cared about the prestige of his name, so why punish you~~ Get up quickly. "

Concubine Xin took advantage of the situation and said with a smile, "That concubine will pay my respects to the emperor on behalf of my brother-in-law."

The emperor nodded, "I am determined, Qi Ke."

Only then did Concubine Xin get up flat, but she moved closer to the emperor, her body almost touching the emperor's arm, "I remember that every time the emperor makes his southern tours, he goes from Suzhou to Hangzhou, and then returns from Hangzhou to Luan. I have to go back to Suzhou again. This time, the emperor will always stay in Suzhou twice."

"My concubine's brother-in-law is now serving as the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Suzhou weaving, so he always has two chances to pick him up. My brother-in-law has always regarded it as a great honor, and my concubine's heart is really grateful for the grace."

Concubine Xin choked up her voice as she spoke, "Ama, who is a concubine, once served as the governor of Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, so no matter whether it is Jiangsu or Zhejiang, there is always a memory of Ama's loyalty to the imperial court...I want to think that at this time, Ama The spirit in heaven must also kowtow to the emperor all the way;”

"Even the concubine Amma is gone, but Jiangsu still has her brother-in-law who has been doing her duty for many years. I believe that Ama will be able to rest in peace with a smile on her face..."

Concubine Xin's words pointed to an old event from that year: in the sixth year of Qianlong, Nasutu was the governor of Liangjiang; at that time, An Ning was weaving in Suzhou and the governor of Jiangsu.Because the two are Weng's son-in-law, Nasutu also wrote a memorial, so I beg you to avoid it.

On the contrary, the emperor thought that there was no need to avoid it, and instead encouraged the two of them, saying that both of them were available ministers.

Back then, Weng and his son-in-law were officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was a good story.

It's just that that good story has passed for more than 20 years after all, and it has been more than ten years since Sutu passed away. The emperor once remembered the merits of the veteran, so he treated Concubine Xin very kindly, but... all of them faded away and were forgotten after all. .

Concubine Xin's intention was to bring back the emperor's memory.

The emperor sighed softly and nodded, "I have never forgotten your father. Jiangnan can have today's Haiqingheyan, and your father has his own achievements in the past."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"The current governor of Liangjiang is Mr. Yin Jishan. Mr. Yin Jishan often thinks of his Ama when he is called a concubine. Mr. Yin Jishan has also been a minister of the border for many years, and has served as the governor of many places. For the governors of the seven provinces..."

As Concubine Xin said, tears fell silently, "It's just that Master Yin Jishan is still alive, and thanks to the emperor's grace, his daughter has also become the eighth elder brother's concubine Fujin; while concubine Ama has... When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I thought of the regret of the phrase 'the child wants to be raised, but the relatives will not be treated'."

The emperor nodded, sighed softly, and finally stretched out his hand to gently support Concubine Fuxin's shoulder.

"Of course I understand, that's why I brought you here on the southern tour this time. Not only this time, but in fact, the last southern tour, why didn't I also mean it--I just want you to come to the place where your ama once worked Walking around in the old place can also make your Ama in the spirit of the sky take a look at you and reassure him."

Concubine Xin's knees softened, tears rolled down, and people fell to the ground like flower petals.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Concubine, I have been waiting for the Emperor for too long."

Wanxi looked at this scene with a smile, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty, please talk to Sister Xin, I will not be with you anymore. I will resign."
