After hearing what Qi Wangshu said, Qin Ruilan was stunned and looked at the princess again.

She wore a pink and blue dress embroidered with roses, covered with rose red gauze, and tied with a plain belt around her waist. The belt was inlaid with twelve crystals, which was beautiful and elegant. She had a simple hairdo.

Hairpin, insert a jasper and silver hairpin, and hang it with a beautiful pendant. A fair face with beautiful eyes seems to be inlaid on it, the eyebrows are curved just right, and the two thin lips are raised in an elegant arc, a smile

It hangs lightly and skillfully on a beautiful face. Such a clear and simple outfit is simple yet beautiful, fresh yet elegant, and seems to have the flavor of a country that is conquering a city without sorrow.

She has lightly applied makeup, half of her jet-black hair hangs down to her thin waist, and half of it is tied up in a chic flying cloud bun. An amethyst moon-shaped magnolia hairpin is inserted into her lightly curled temples, and a string of exquisitely carved necklaces hangs around her neck.

Wearing a lavender double-breasted dress embroidered with beaded flowers and brocade patterns, covered with a jade-colored smoked silver gauze shirt, lined with a moon-white and slightly pink water lily short waistband, and her waist was gently held by a piece of light blue soft gauze.

. Her voice is sweet but not greasy, refreshing, and her body exudes the elegant fragrance of lavender, which makes people want to get close to her. She wears a little makeup and looks indifferent. She is wearing a plain blue palace dress, maybe because of boredom, with only a few tassels.

For decoration. She is wearing a light pink palace dress, with a plain satin ribbon tied around her waist, which highlights her graceful figure. Her hair is tied into a bun with flying stars chasing the moon, no powder is applied, her eyebrows are furrowed, her eyes are delicate, her face is thin, and her waist is slim.

Naughty and graceful, she is boneless and charming. Her silky ink-colored hair hangs freely around her waist. She wears a light blue palace dress with light blue butterflies about to fly embroidered on the corners of her skirt, and is covered with a layer of white gauze.

.The weak figure makes her look even more charming.

The breeze blows gently, and it feels like it is going away with the wind.

Qin Ruilan's eyes were a little dull. Qin Ruilan felt that at this moment when she was in despair, Princess Qi Wangshu said this, and she was like a fairy who helped her in times of need.

She asked: "Is this true?"

Qi Wangshu looked at her, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's true."

Qin Ruilan couldn't help lowering her head and shed tears at this time, and said: "Actually, I'm not worried about whether he will be injured or okay, because I know that he is very powerful and will be fine. Even if something happens, in the court,

My dad will definitely know first. I'm just worried that if he doesn't write to me for so long, he will feel that he doesn't love me anymore..."

Qi Wangshu looked at Qin Ruilan and never thought that it would be such a reason for being sad in the house for so long. She quickly comforted: "No, it's my sister who overthinks it. Wei Shen is not that kind of person, and he will not be like that."

Keep your heart in your stomach and don't think too much. When he comes back next year, you can be together forever."

Qin Ruilan looked at Qi Wangshu with tears in her eyes, and then said: "This is really... a joke for you... Actually, I also know what kind of person he is, but... I will think wildly as long as I can't see him.

Now I think of these things.”

Qi Wangshu patted her shoulder and said that he could understand her mood: "I never knew that feelings can be so torturous."

Qin Ruilan nodded, and while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said, "Yes, when we were still in the boudoir, how could we have thought of something like this happening?"

Qi Wangshu stared into the distance in a daze, as if he had been disturbed by these things recently. No one could understand such things as feelings, but they were torturous, just like Qin Ruilan and Shen Shu in front of him. When the lover is not in front of you, the other person is even more troublesome. The feeling of not being able to love really makes people feel a little worried.

Qin Ruilan was comforted by Qi Wangshu, and she was indeed much better than before. Then she thought of what happened recently, and asked: "I heard that the Queen is back in favor, how is she? Concubine Shu is no longer in favor. Are you being a monster?"

Although Qin Ruilan is not in the palace, she occasionally hears news from Qin Yuandao. Although she knows these things, she still has no way to go to the palace to visit the Queen. I think they have too many things to do recently and have no time to take care of Qin Ruilan. .

Now that Qi Wangshu has come to Qin Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Qin Ruilan, Ruilan can ask about Liang Huanqing. Liang Huanqing was the most worrying person at that time.

Qi Wangshu shook his head and said: "The Queen is fine recently, but something happened to someone."

"Who is it?" Qin Ruilan asked.

Thinking about it, there is no new person in the palace yet, who else should the Queen and the Princess worry about?

Qi Wangshu didn't know whether he should talk to Qin Ruilan about this matter, but at this time, he really had too much to consider, but he couldn't think it through.

"I came here this time actually to find a solution for my sister." Qi Wangshu said hesitantly.

"What happened?" Maybe Qin Ruilan was depressed because no one in the house could talk to her, but now after saying a few words, she didn't feel so sad anymore.

But when I heard that something happened to Qi Wangshu, as an older sister, I would still be a little worried.

Qi Wangshu hesitated whether to say anything, then thought about it, sighed and said: "It's not my business, nor is it the Queen's business. When you entered the palace some time ago, a Princess Shen came. Sister, do you remember?"

Qin Ruilan thought for a while, that was a month ago, but she still remembered it freshly. She nodded: "Of course I remember, she was a young concubine, she must be about the same age as us?"

Qi Wangshu nodded and said: "Ms. Shen Taifei is a righteous person. She spoke for the empress at the Double Ninth Festival banquet, and then she got to know us."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a woman in the palace. It's really rare." Qin Ruilan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"It's pity that Concubine Shen was originally the princess of Danlong. She married into the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty in the last years of the late Emperor's reign. In fact... there was no real relationship between husband and wife." Qi Wangshu said slowly.

"Ah?" Qin Ruilan said in surprise, "Then... the concubines in the harem are usually like this. Without heirs, it will be difficult to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives. Besides, Concubine Shen is still such a young woman."

Qin Ruilan didn't know what happened, and simply thought that Concubine Shen was all alone in the palace. This fact was worthy of others' heartache.

Qi Wangshu looked at Qin Ruilan, shook his head and said: "It's far more than that. At the Double Ninth Festival banquet, Concubine Shen and the current number one scholar Ji Ziqi... had a private exchange. Yesterday I went to see Ji Ziqi and found out They both like each other, but the sad thing is that Ji Ziqi has a fiancée."

Qin Ruilan looked around, then covered her mouth and exclaimed, whispering: "Then...does Concubine Shen know?"

Qi Wangshu shook his head and said with a sad face: "How dare you tell her... But this is not a big deal. According to Ji Ziqi, that girl was a playmate when she was a child. She has not seen her for thirteen years, even if there is no Concubine Shen. Madam, he will never marry that girl. Now, people in love cannot stay together forever, but I feel uncomfortable watching it."

Qin Ruilan nodded. She was also such an infatuated woman. Naturally, she knew how uncomfortable Concubine Shen was. She said, "But I didn't expect that such a thing would really happen. The one I love is so close." , but it’s like being cut off by mountains and seas.”

Qi Wangshu also looked disappointed, knowing that such a thing would be bad for everyone.

Qin Ruilan thought for a while and asked: "What now? What are you going to do?"

Qi Wangshu looked at Qin Ruilan with a bitter face and said: "To be honest with my sister, I came here just to find a solution for my sister... In the past, Huanqing and I, my sister, were the sensible ones. Now in this kind of thing, Huanqing You still have to watch out for Su Shangqing, but you don’t have time to take care of it, it’s just me and my sister."

Qin Ruilan looked at Qi Wangshu, touched her head distressedly, and said: "I have always felt that the princess is very similar to Huanqing. Huanqing became a different person for the sake of the emperor. We tried our best to protect her. You don’t want to change, but it seems that you didn’t protect yourself properly, and now even the corners of your eyes and eyebrows have a trace of sadness.”

Qin Ruilan seemed sad when he said this, but Qi Wangshu just smiled. People will change after all, and no one will always be the same.

Qi Wangshu said: "There is no way now. There are some things that I can only do myself. I didn't change in the past because nothing could make me grow. But now there are countless things that force me to grow. Growing into A princess in their dreams, but fortunately, Liang Ji and you are always by my side."

Qin Ruilan smiled: "It would be great if you and Liang Ji could be together forever."

Qi Wangshu nodded: "I will definitely do it. Once this period of time is over and the three-year filial piety period is over, I will be able to be with Liang Ji forever."

What matters now is the matter of Concubine Shen, and there is really nothing they can do.

"Why don't we talk after we enter the palace first?" Qi Wangshu suggested, "The Queen has not seen you for a long time. She must miss you very much."

There is really no other way now. It is better to go to the palace first and wait until we meet the Empress Dowager Shen.

Then they entered the palace together.

＊

At this time, Su Shangqing had secretly sent someone to wait at the palace gate to see when Qi Wangshu and the others entered the palace.

Now she already knew that Liang Ji would bring Ji Ziqi into the palace tomorrow, and then she was ready to take the emperor to Qianning Palace to find them in order to repay the hatred she felt at the Double Ninth Festival feast.

＊

Before they arrived at Qianning Palace, Qi Wangshu had already sent someone to pass the news, so that Liang Huanqing could ask someone to invite Shen Shu. After all, all four of them had met, and there was indeed something to discuss, so they I don't care about that much anymore.

The emperor has just finished his morning court and will not come to Qianning Palace to see her until dinner time. He is not in a hurry now.

Hearing that Qin Ruilan was coming, Liang Huanqing also waited at the palace gate early. Yue Bai and Tang Xue also said, "It's rare to see the Queen so happy."

Liang Huanqing smiled and said: "It's natural. I haven't seen Sister Ruilan for a long time. Naturally, I will be very happy. It's my fault. It's been so long that I haven't thought about taking Sister Ruilan into the palace."

Even Aunt Qin came to see me when I was in trouble... Now that she is here, can I still be unhappy? "

Yuebai comforted: "Miss Ruilan will understand that everything is not peaceful recently. That is to say, ordinary people may think that everything is fine, but who can know the distress in the Queen's heart? This is equivalent to being like a human being.

You know whether your drinking water is cold or warm, but both Miss Ruilan and Mrs. Qin will understand. The Queen, don’t ask for trouble like this."

Tang Xue also echoed: "Yes, Queen, you should be happy."

Liang Huanqing stood outside the door anxiously and looked out, thinking about when Sister Ruilan and Qi Wangshu would come to the palace, but with tears in her eyes, she said: "I know, but after staying in the palace for so long, I

When the palace was in power, they were not allowed to come into the palace to have a look. Who knew that as soon as the emperor came back, I would encounter such a thing, and even wronged them to pretend to be dressed up and come into the palace..."

Yuebai and Tang Xue looked at each other. At this time, they really didn't know how to comfort the Queen. They could only stay by their side.

At this time, Qi Wangshu and Qin Ruilan entered the palace in soft sedans and walked on the long corridor in front of Qianning Palace. They were not as embarrassed as when they entered the palace last time.

Qin Ruilan is indeed not that sad anymore. As expected, she still needs to go out for a walk from time to time so that she won't have random thoughts.

On the way, Qi Wangshu explained everything to Qin Ruilan, including Shen Shu's thoughts and what Ji Ziqi said to him yesterday.

"Anyway, I just thought that I don't want to see such things happen..." Qi Wangshu said.

Qin Ruilan sighed and felt very depressed after hearing what she just said. She said: "But the relationship between the two of them is an insurmountable barrier in the world. Concubine Shen is already a wife.

She was still the late emperor's concubine. If she hadn't passed away, she would never be able to live like this with red walls and green tiles."

"Sister said, why haven't the Queen and I thought about it? However, who can bear to watch a woman who is not much different from you and me, living in such suffering in the palace, it would be fine if we didn't know each other, back then

At the Double Ninth Festival banquet, I didn’t even dare to speak for the Queen, but Princess Shen said that such courage and loyalty really made people feel that if they didn’t help her, they would be sorry for their own conscience.” Qi Wangshu said.

.

Qin Ruilan also nodded, as if he recognized what she said.

Qi Wangshu continued: "In this situation, it is impossible for us not to help. Besides, although Concubine Shen is the concubine of the father, she is not married, so why not marry again?"

Qin Ruilan nodded and said: "But princess, don't forget that Concubine Shen came here for marriage. She was originally the princess of Danlong. She is not as free as the children of powerful people. She entered the palace for Danlong and the Celestial Dynasty. Now such a severe situation
