Concubine Lan stamped her feet and clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. She requested again and again: "Madame Qian, the Empress Dowager and I are family, so there is no reason why family members should not be close. Please go in and tell her that I miss my aunt."
Madam Qian still declined politely: "Before the Queen Mother took her afternoon nap, I asked this old servant to tell you: Find your own future, don't rely on others. The Queen Mother has made up her mind, Concubine Lan, please return to Huayang Palace."
After saying this, Nanny Qian turned and left.
Lanpin stood there for a long time, almost tearing the handkerchief in her hand. She was extremely depressed, not being favored by the emperor, not getting help from her aunt, and the Xie family was planning to send a new person into the palace to replace her...
Concubine Lan felt a lump in her throat and left the Cining Palace with a heavy heart. She took her personal maid to the imperial garden to relax. As she walked, Concubine Lan saw many eunuchs holding trays and carrying boxes.
"What are you moving the boxes for?" Lanpin asked curiously.
A chief eunuch replied, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother and Concubine Chen will leave the palace tomorrow to go to Anguo Temple to pray for blessings. The servants are moving their luggage."
Lanpin snorted and said sourly: "No wonder my aunt didn't see me, it turns out she wanted to go out of the palace for fun."
The eunuch did not dare to agree and ordered other eunuchs to continue moving things.
Concubine Lan felt upset and she also wanted to leave the palace. But once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea, and it is almost impossible to leave. She is now a concubine of neither high nor low status, and is completely out of favor. Her mother is not even qualified to visit her in the palace.
Unless you can become a concubine.
The position of concubine was respected, and the biological mothers of the four concubines were allowed to visit the palace once a year. Lanpin felt bitter in her heart. She missed her mother's arms and the free days before she entered the palace.
After staying in the palace for a long time, the days seemed especially long. She sat by the bed, watching the sun rise and set, and the days passed quietly.
She was lonely and miserable, so lonely that even Tan Tai Yin Xue disliked her. How pathetic.
Concubine Lan was wandering aimlessly in the Imperial Garden, and as she walked, she came to the East Pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Lanpin was feeling sad. She looked up unexpectedly and saw a snow-white figure.
White clothes fluttering and black hair swaying.
Lanpin was so frightened that she almost fainted. She said angrily, "Sister Meifei, can you change your clothes? Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I was almost scared to death by you. Now, when I was walking in the garden, you scared me to death again."
The autumn leaves are falling, the breeze is blowing, and suddenly a strange white shadow appears in the bleak autumn wind, which can make even the bravest people tremble with fear.
Liu Ruyan looked back, her stunningly beautiful face showed no emotion, she only said calmly, "Be quiet, you're disturbing the autumn wind."
Lanpin rolled her eyes to the sky.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Lanpin, who was wearing red and green, and said, "The red and green dress ruins the autumn scenery."
Concubine Lan was already angry because she didn't see the Queen Mother today. Liu Ruyan mocked her dress coldly again, and she couldn't stand it, so she started to mock, "I just like to dress brightly, what's it got to do with you? Wearing white everywhere scares people, and people who don't know would think someone has died in the family. What's the point of having a pretty face? You dress like you're attending a funeral every day, no wonder the emperor doesn't favor you, you deserve it."
Liu Ruyan was silent.
After a while, she said calmly: "The emperor's love is like autumn leaves falling in the wind, no one can catch it."
Lanpin simply couldn't continue the conversation with her!
Lanpin stared at Liu Ruyan with hatred, saying that she was such a loser and didn't know how lucky she was! Liu Ruyan occupied the position of concubine in vain, but lived a dull life.
Every year, Liu Ruyan's biological mother wanted to enter the palace to see her long-lost daughter, but she was always rejected by Liu Ruyan on the grounds that it would "only add to her worries."
Lanpin turned away, feeling an inexplicable sense of malice in her heart. Lanpin rolled her eyes and a vicious idea emerged in her mind.
She summoned her personal maid and whispered, "Send a letter home and ask the people at Si Tian Jian..."
The maid listened attentively, and nodded after a while: "I will do it right away."
Lanpin smiled and looked back at Liu Ruyan who was admiring the autumn scenery in the pavilion.
You pride yourself on being as calm and composed as a plum blossom, but suddenly you encounter an unexpected disaster. Can you, Liu Ruyan, still remain so calm and composed?
...
...
At dawn the next day, the team leaving the palace was ready to go. Before Chen Wei left, she repeatedly told Rong Mama and the others to protect Leyou and the other children, and to increase patrols near the Cining Palace so as not to give the bad guys any chance to take advantage.
After the instructions were given, Shen Wei got on the carriage and accompanied the Queen Mother out of the palace to pray.
The moment the carriage drove out of the palace along the long royal official road, Shen Wei suddenly felt unprecedented happiness and relaxation. She opened the car curtain and took a deep breath, smelling the scent of freedom.
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and said, "I know you are bored in the palace. From now on, I will take you with me when I go out of the palace to pray for blessings once or twice a year."
Shen Wei's eyebrows curved with joy, and she held the Queen Mother's arm affectionately, and said coquettishly in a soft voice: "Mother is so kind."
The Queen Mother smiled and stroked Shen Wei's soft hair, her eyes filled with unconcealed kindness. Before Zhaoyang got married, the Queen Mother liked to take Zhaoyang out of the palace for a stroll.
Shen Wei is like Zhaoyang, but not quite.
Regardless, the Queen Mother treated Shen Wei as if she were her own daughter.
Shen Wei was deeply loved by Li Yuanjing, and her children were sensible. She managed the harem in an orderly manner, and was praised by the officials in the court and supported by the ladies of Yanjing.
Only the Queen Mother could see that Shen Wei, who seemed to be enjoying a glorious life, was leading a miserable life in the palace. The Queen Mother took her out to relax, which also relieved Shen Wei's inner depression.
...
...
The news that Shen Wei and the Queen Mother left the palace to pray for blessings soon spread to Changxin Palace.
Lu Xuan put down the pregnancy-preserving medicine in her hand, turned her beautiful eyes slightly, and asked the palace maid Xiaoqin: "I remember that the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince went to the training ground to practice horseback riding and archery today?"
