The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 120

He Lanchun looked at him with satisfaction. As a courtier, Pei Ruochen never let him worry.

"Let's go see Concubine Lan together. The imperial doctor just said that she is fine." He Lanchun waved his sleeves and strode out the door.

Pei Ruochen followed closely behind, neither far nor near, a good three feet away.

The guard of honor followed suit.

A group of people came to Pei Ruolan's Orchid Hall in front of the crowd and followed by the starry sky.

The imperial doctor who was taking care of Pei Ruolan had already come out of the inner room, but he didn't dare to go far, and stood at the door, waiting for the emperor's question.

The maids raised the lanterns, and the lights shone coldly on the marble steps, the moonlight was silent and extremely cold.

Pei Ruochen stepped forward, He Lanchun had already entered the inner room, and he stopped in the hall outside, waiting for the people inside to speak.

The foyer is not big, small, and very chic.

There is a screen directly in front of it, and there is a corridor that is not too long or short between the screen and the inner room.

Pei Ruochen started a new round of waiting.

There were not many servants in the hall, and there were red and thick candles around, occasionally there was the sound of crackling wicks.

The palace was extremely quiet.

Pei Ruochen stood in the middle, waiting, waiting, suddenly had a strange hallucination.

—Here, he is left.

In this world, only he is left.

He looked back sadly: outside the hall, the palace gates were holding lanterns, coming and going like ghosts, quietly like ghosts.The dim light not only did not warm the night, nor did it fill the emptiness here, but instead made the night more desolate and the palace even more empty.

Loneliness is a cool color.It was freezing cold.

Pei Ruochen lowered his eyes faintly, and the loneliness sneaked into his eyes, and the straight and tall figure suddenly became desolate.

The shadow cast on the screen is thin and lonely.

Then, a person cautiously poked his head out from behind the screen, and when he saw him, he retracted his head again.

Pei Ruochen had sharp eyes and had already seen the person coming. Seeing her acting strangely, he was taken aback and suddenly smiled.

— For some reason, he thought of another person.

The other, once she thinks about it, the woman whose heart is as cold as a cold pool will warm up.

"Concubine Lin." Seeing that the person hid behind the screen, as if he didn't intend to show up again, Pei Ruochen had no choice but to point out her existence.

The person inside gave a 'ah', and then turned out very embarrassed.

The person who came out was Yiren's older sister, Yilin.She is also one of He Lanchun's favorite concubines.

She is not like Yi Ren at all, she is much more beautiful than Yi Ren, but after all, she is a sister from the same country, if you look carefully, the eyebrows are actually somewhat similar.

It's just that Yi Ren always has sleepy eyes, stretched facial features, and is ignorant.It's not as good as Yilin, she is beaming with joy, and her style is infinite.

"Master Pei, why don't you go in? My sister has been talking about you all afternoon." Yi Lin came here to accompany Pei Ruolan specially, but just now she saw that He Lanchun and Pei Ruolan had something private to say, so she retreated from the inner room.

As soon as she turned around the screen, Yi Lin saw Pei Ruochen and hurriedly hid back.

Just a glance just now, Pei Ruochen's shadow has already entered her eyes.

——Pei Ruochen, who was in a daze just now, was very different from the young and mature young official whom he usually saw from a distance.

Such a fragile, handsome face is full of desolation and loneliness, but loneliness is so beautiful, you can't miss it, it is the low-hanging starry sky in the grassland wilderness - in a place where there is no one, it is lonely and brilliant.

"Is Concubine Lan okay?" After all, Pei Ruolan was Pei Ruochen's biological sister, so he naturally cared about her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to enter the palace to visit her.

"It's nothing serious, but I was a little shocked." Yilin shook her head and said to herself again: "This time, the empress has gone too far. I think she must be afraid that Sister Lan will give birth to a prince. A child is expensive and threatens her status."

Pei Ruochen frowned almost imperceptibly.

How could he think that the woman in front of him resembled Yi Ren?

They are so different.

Yi Ren never talks about people's right and wrong, let alone tell right and wrong.

Yilin didn't realize it, and still presided over justice with an upright face: "Sister Lan is too weak, and others bully her like this, witchcraft doll, witchcraft doll, such a vicious thing, queen You can really do it. And the princess, can the princess not be able to tell who is kissing and who is not? Sister Lan is the adult’s younger sister, the princess’s sister-in-law, and she also helped the queen bully Sister Lan, Mr. Pei, did the princess fall for it too? The queen's bewitched?"

"The ladies are all the princess's sister-in-law, but to Ruochen, everyone is Ruochen's master, there is no distinction between closeness and closeness." Pei Ruochen replied cautiously.

Erin pouted, looking at the wood a little depressed.

"Master Pei, don't you feel sorry for your sister at all?" After waiting for a while, Yi Lin asked unwillingly: "Did your lord never think that if Sister Lan gave birth to a prince, and Sister Lan could not become a queen?" If so, isn't the little prince's situation very embarrassing?"

"Your Majesty will not let your own flesh and blood be wronged." Pei Ruochen replied calmly.

Seeing that she couldn't figure out what to do, Erin couldn't help feeling uneasy, and stood awkwardly for a while, then flung her sleeves and walked out the door.

Unexpectedly, when she reached the door, Yilin suddenly turned her head and asked abruptly: "I heard that Mr. Pei met my sister Yiren in Suiyuan. Recently, my father asked about my sister. I wonder if she is doing well now?"

Pei Ruochen paused, and then quietly replied, "She's fine."

"Oh, are you still obsessed with following that traitor He Lanxue?" Yi Lin said to herself incomprehensibly: "Suffering in that icy and snowy place is considered good? Yi Ren has always been called a fool, and she really is."

"Yi Ren is not a fool." Pei Ruochen wanted to be silent, but for some reason, he retorted out of control.

He doesn't like people saying that Yi Ren is a fool.I don't like it even more, it is said by such a woman who is not one-thousandth of Yiren!

Yilin raised her eyebrows and looked at Pei Ruochen in surprise.

——Since the beginning, Pei Ruochen, who has always been calm and reserved, why is he so excited all of a sudden?
Pei Ruochen was also aware of his abnormality, he was silent for a while, and then calmly explained: "Yi Ren is the younger sister of the empress, the empress is beautiful, clever and understanding, Ruochen thought that Yi Ren would not be a fool."

Erin froze for a moment, then smiled very usefully.

——So, is Pei Ruochen actually praising her?

This fact made Yi Lin extremely happy: Pei Ruochen seldom praised others, and in his eyes, it seemed that all living beings were the same. Although there were rumors that he had a cold relationship with the princess and had affairs outside, the women in the palace often gossip When he was a man in the Celestial Dynasty, everyone respected him highly.

It's just because, no matter what kind of stunning person he encounters, he can keep his eyes on him like a humble gentleman.

Such a cold person is willing to praise herself so generously, and Yilin is very flattered.

The deer was so startled that it bumped wildly.

"I have some books on witches and Gu in my palace, which were also presented by others. If my lord is interested in this, I will go to my palace later, and I can analyze the pros and cons one by one for my lord." Erin coughed, Suddenly he became reserved, with a straight face, and said solemnly.

Pei Ruochen was about to refuse, but Yi Lin had already turned around, leaving behind a series of inexplicable laughter.

Pei Ruochen waited for a long time, and finally a eunuch rushed over, saying that Empress Lan and His Majesty the Emperor invited him in.

Pei Ruochen straightened her clothes and walked slowly through the long corridor to the inner room.

Pei Ruolan was leaning against the head of the bed, smiling at He Lanchun with a charming face, while He Lanchun was sitting on the head of the bed, stroking Pei Ruolan's abdomen with one hand, while responding in a low voice.

"Brother." Seeing Pei Ruochen, Pei Ruolan burst into a smile, "Brother has been waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty is serious." Pei Ruochen saluted respectfully, "Seeing that your Majesty is fine, I feel relieved."

"Where's the princess? She didn't come?" Pei Ruolan looked behind him, her face darkened, and asked.

"I apologize to the empress on behalf of the princess. The princess is young and has no sense of propriety, so the empress does not have to worry about it." Pei Ruochen said softly.

Pei Ruolan snorted coldly, but her brother had already appeared, and He Lanyou's status was extremely noble, so it was really inconvenient for her to pursue too much.

But that slap, but no matter what, he couldn't bear it.

"The princess is so domineering, my brother suffers on weekdays." After waiting for a while, Pei Ruolan said calmly.

Pei Ruochen remained silent and did not answer.

He Lanchun stood up, and the tenderness and sweetness that had just turned into indifference in an instant, he said lightly: "You should have a good rest first." Then he greeted Pei Ruochen, "Ruochen, come out with me."

Pei Ruochen replied 'yes', then gave Pei Ruolan a deep look, and then walked out.

——He watched his younger sister grow up, until she entered the palace as a concubine. In Pei Ruochen's impression, his younger sister was always obedient, beautiful and lively.

However, what happened today made Pei Ruochen suddenly vigilant: she was no longer the child in her memory. Years of court life had made her unpredictable and dark-minded.

Pei Ruochen didn't believe that Rong Xiu could make a witchcraft doll. This matter, looked at horizontally and vertically, was a farce directed and acted by himself.

He originally wanted to go to the palace to persuade Pei Ruolan to restrain herself. She wanted to be the queen, and he had his brother to deal with her - that was what his father had promised to help Pei Ruolan ascend the throne, so that his little nephew, who was about to be born, would be the queen. The king of the country.

However, He Lanchun obviously didn't give them a chance to get along alone.

He Lanchun has He Lanchun's means.

He remained calm, watching Pei Ruochen's growing power with cold eyes, and even helping him secretly, but he refused to give Pei Ruolan the position of queen.

Pei Ruochen is also well aware of his current position and situation.

He is He Lanchun's pawn, He Lanchun's pawn to concentrate imperial power and divert everyone's attention.

All the time, just pawns.

Pei Ruochen didn't mind either, the world thought him a fool, how could he know that he didn't think the world was a fool?
When turning around, Pei Ruochen had a mocking smile on his lips.

But I don't know whether to ridicule everyone or myself.

After leaving the inner room, He Lanchun slowed down. He walked in front, with his back turned to Pei Ruochen, and asked casually, "Is the princess really domineering on weekdays?"

"No." Pei Ruochen replied lightly: "The princess is well educated, elegant and quiet, and has never done anything domineering."

"That being the case, why did I hear people say that your relationship with the princess is not good, and you haven't even entered the princess's room since your wedding, right?" He Lanchun stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Pei Ruochen, his voice suddenly Get sharp.
