The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 560

"Concubines feel the same way."

Zhuo Lan walked slowly from behind the nine-wide dragon-patterned screen, and her graceful figure walked to the side of the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and signaled her to sit down.

Seeing that the emperor was thinking, Zhuo Lan wanted to say a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to stop.

The short silence was broken by the yelling of the inner eunuch who entered the hall to eat, and only when the dining table was covered with more than a dozen delicacies, the emperor said: "Today I have your favorite stewed ham with bamboo fungus, let's have a taste." .”

The emperor spread a chopstick for Zhuo Lan, and Zhuo Lan covered her lips and was full of praise.Seeing that the congealing atmosphere in the hall had eased a bit, he served soup for the emperor with a biscuit, and said, "The emperor didn't punish the fourth elder brother after all. I think I still miss the imperial concubine in my heart."

The emperor looked at her silently, while Zhuo Lan slowly raised the bowl over the top and served the soup in front of the emperor with both hands, thinking to herself: "Si elder brother is not the imperial concubine's own heir, and the imperial concubine can treat him like this, so that The fourth elder brother still missed her when he left Chengqian Palace, and called her his mother-in-law. This is true, and it can be seen. The former empress dowager had a headache, and the imperial concubine even spent the whole night in the palace of compassion. It is said that such a kind and filial person can ruin the lives of innocent children, the concubine does not believe it in the bottom of her heart."

"Oh? You think so?" The emperor took a spoonful of soup and looked at her with great interest: "You have never been friends with the imperial concubine, but you are closer to the imperial concubine. In the past, you were willing to make the first Chengqian Palace'Chun Ri Xiang' This matter almost involved the imperial concubine, why are you willing to speak for her now?"

Zhuo Lan looked a little panicked, stepped back two and a half steps and bent her knees to plead guilty: "The concubine is afraid. The concubine and the concubine are friendly because the concubine is willing to be close to the concubine, and the concubine is always facing the concubine. The concubine is indifferent, that's all. But the concubine is not a fool, just discussing the matter, the concubine just thinks that the imperial concubine is not worthy of doing such a foolish thing."

Seeing that the emperor ignored her and didn't tell her to stand up, Zhuo Lan bowed lower deliberately: "The emperor always teaches concubines to tell right from wrong, and concubines can tell right from wrong. Concubines can still tell right from wrong. And concubines enter the palace to serve, just ask I have been facing the emperor for a long time, and I am determined not to do stupid things like forming a party for personal gain."

There was a moment of silence, in exchange for the bright smile of the emperor.

He stretched out his hand to help Zhuo Lan up, and sighed infinitely: "There are so many concubines in the harem, there are not many who can treat me as purely and sincerely as you."

"The concubine is clumsy and tongue-tied, and she often offends others with her words, and she also knows that she often behaves inappropriately when she is serving the emperor. Thanks to the emperor's perseverance, the concubine will have a long and prosperous future."

The emperor smiled even more, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said: "Your lips are like honey, and you still say that you are clumsy with a clumsy tongue, it will make me feel that everyone else is dumb."

On the other side, after Yinzhen was taken away by the nanny's inner prisoner, he had a drooping face all the way back to elder brother's place.

He really cared about Rong Yue in his heart, and he only thought that she was the person who treated him best in the world.

However, when Chu Chu was sensible, he saw Rong Yue suffering, but he was helpless, and felt that he was ashamed of his adoptive mother from the bottom of his heart.

He was even more angry on the inner eunuch, and when he came to the elder brother's office, he punched and kicked the inner eunuch who took him out of the Qianqing Palace.

He didn't strike hard, it was just to vent his inner distress.

The eunuch also followed him, pretending to beg for mercy from time to time, trying to make him happy.

But at this time, Lin Lan was rushing towards Elder Brother's place to visit Yinzhen, she frowned when she saw this scene, and called from a distance: "Son, what are you doing?"

The palace people restrained immediately after hearing the commotion, and bowed to Lin Lan one after another.

Du Yinzhen glanced back at her, and walked straight away without paying any attention.

Linlan quickly caught up with her in two steps, grabbed Yinzhen's arm and stopped him: "Er Niang is talking to you, why are you running? Didn't Master teach you to be lenient to others? Then why did the prisoner commit crimes?" Wrong, you want to beat him like that on the long street?"

"Let go! Let go of me!" Yinzhen struggled hard, trying to shake off Lin Lan's hand that was gripping her arm tightly: "If I want to hit him, I can hit him. What does it have to do with you?"

Such words seemed to pass through the frost on Linlan's heart, she trembled all over, and immediately sent Yinzhen's hand tightly.

The inner eunuch who had just made a scene with Yinzhen hurried forward and said: "Msg Concubine De, please calm down, the fourth elder brother was just joking with the servant."

"Joking with you?" Lin Lan glanced at him, and said angrily: "What is your identity, what is the identity of the fourth elder brother, and you want him to play with you if you don't take good care of him? You dare to say that. "

The inner eunuch was speechless, nodding yes.

Yinzhen stood in front of him and argued: "Little Suzi is willing to be with me, and they are all willing to be with me. I like them, but I don't like you!"

Feiyan, who had been serving Linlan all this time, was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Fourth elder brother, don't talk nonsense, Empress Defei is your own mother, how can you compare these slaves with empresses? "

"Er Niang." Yinzhen pouted and frowned and stared at Feiyan: "My Er Niang is suffering in Chengqian Palace now!" He pointed at Lin Lan and raised his voice, "It's all because of you and Wan Niang Niang Mother will end up like this, I hate you!"

"You are presumptuous!" Lin Lan shouted angrily, raised her hand and slapped Yin Zhen's face hard.

This slap made everyone present dumbfounded.

Yinzhen stood there dazedly, clutching his reddened cheeks, Lin Lan seemed to realize that she had made a serious move, but she didn't show any sign of weakness.

She only felt that Yinzhen was only eight or nine years old and behaved so outspokenly and surlyly, if he became an adult in the future, he didn't know what kind of troubles would arise.

Thinking of many things, it was because Rong Yue couldn't teach him how to be good, and seeing him desperately defending the thief without knowing it, he was naturally heartbroken, hated himself for not protecting the child well, and hated the child for not being able to distinguish right from wrong.

"Tong's bad deeds are devoid of conscience, but you protect her like this, and you are very close to each other. Er Niang was pregnant and gave birth to you in October. She thought about you day and night and put her heart on you, but in the end she hated you so much. ! You are so confused!"

"I'm not confused!" Yinzhen roared almost hysterically, his crying eyes were full of tears, and his body couldn't help shaking with anger: "When I'm trapped in the palace every day and bored, it's the happiest time for you and the sixth younger brother. The only one who is with me is Tong Niangniang! When I was sick and suffering and my life was hanging by a thread, you came to see me for only half a stick of incense, but you were anxious to take care of my sixth brother, who would stand by my side and never leave. Only Niangniang Tong! When I was studying, I was bullied by the prince to find you. You sent me to be patient. Only Niangniang Tong was willing to vent my anger on me! Niangniang Tong treated me so well. She never said harsh words to me, and never Never hit me!"

Yinzhen wiped away the tears, pushed Linlan and ran towards elder brother: "I don't want to talk to you anymore! You are not my mother-in-law, but Niangniang Tong is my mother-in-law!"
