He raised his feet and stepped over the high threshold of the door, and Qi Zi followed him in. Qifeng Hall is tall and gorgeous, surrounded by large columns, and the elaborately carved phoenixes on the columns are about to spread their wings and fly high.
It looks like the whole palace is very grand and magnificent. But Qi Zi stood there and felt lonely. Does Li Ran feel the same way? Qi Zi thought.
Seeing Qi Zi standing there in a daze, Lan Zihui returned to her side and whispered: "Empress, come with me."
She came back to her senses and followed Lan Zihui, who said: "Ahead is the private courtyard in Qifeng Palace. The queen likes to plant flowers and grass there."
After hearing Lan Zihui's introduction, Qi Zi rushed to the front yard and searched frantically. Yes, she was looking for Phalaenopsis. If it was like what Lan Zihui said, then Liran would definitely leave something behind.
Lan Zihui asked inexplicably: "What are you looking for? I will look for it with you."
Qi Zi didn't listen and kept looking for herself. Finally, her hard work paid off and she found a phalaenopsis under a rose tree. After she was delighted, she immediately became disappointed. The phalaenopsis was almost dry. She slowly
Slowly squatting down, gently touching the yellow leaves and crying: "Why? Why? How could this happen?"
Lan Zihui looked at the sobbing figure from the side without knowing why. He had countless questions in his heart, but he couldn't ask them in the current situation.
Xu Jiuzi wiped away her tears, turned around and asked, "Do you know where the queen's room is?"
"Empress, you..." Lan Zilong thought to himself, what on earth are you doing? You are becoming more and more bold, and you even regret bringing her in.
"Can you please take me there?"
He couldn't bear to refuse and said, "Okay, please come with me."
Inside the main hall, it was extremely empty. A slight sound could evoke long-lasting echoes. Lan Zihui pointed to a door and said, "This is where the queen rests."
Qi Zi walked over slowly, unable to hold back her tears, and Liran's bits and pieces repeated in her mind:
"Qi Zi, let me teach you embroidery."
"Qi Zi, this word is written wrong."
"Qi Zi, I know you like Phalaenopsis? I'll give you a pot next time."
"Qi Zi, not only are your embroideries becoming more and more exquisite, but your piano playing is also getting better and better."
"Qi Zi, I'm going to the palace."
"Qi Zi, thank you for your gift."
…
One by one, one by one, each scene seemed to have happened yesterday, and they all became sad because of Liran's death.
"Your Majesty, please leave for a moment. Before my subordinates come to pick you up, please don't move around. After all, this is in the Qifeng Palace. Although there are very few people, you should be more careful." Lan Zihui stepped forward.
Let’s talk.
"I understand." Qi Zi said, Lan Zihui went out and closed the door.
In front of the door, Qi Zi stretched out his trembling hands and gently pushed open the heavy door, and walked into the world that Liran once had. There was a coolness in the room, and Qi Zi shivered. Every table and chair was
Covered with white cloth, Qizi opened the white cloth on the embroidery stand, as if he saw Liran concentrating on the embroidery, but why there was no smile on her face, all she saw was sadness. Then she opened it again
She opened the white cloth on the dressing table, and in the bronze mirror, Liran was combing her hair expressionlessly, with a sick look on her face. She was completely different from the Liran she saw before entering the palace. The white cloth on the piano stand was tilted slightly, Qi
I opened it and saw that Liran was playing a piece of music with tears in her eyes. After playing the music, she suddenly coughed, and when she took the handkerchief off, a ball of blood suddenly appeared on the white handkerchief.
Seeing this, Qi Zi's heart went cold, and she cried and said to herself: "Sister Liran, what happened to you?"
No one responded. Qi Zi sat down by the piano and placed her hands on the strings. Recalling the "Snow Plum Tune" she created with her in the winter when she was nine years old, the notes floated out smoothly from her fingers.
It was originally a relaxing and joyful song, but now it turns out to be so sad and sad.
Just halfway through the play, the door suddenly opened wide, and an older nanny, three eunuchs, and a palace maid walked in from the main hall. They all stared at Qi Zi in surprise, and Aunt Xu Jiu said angrily: "You are
The palace servants are so impudent and dare to touch the former queen's relics. Are you dissatisfied with your longevity?"
Palace person? What kind of palace person is she? Maybe her dress makes others think she is a palace person. Lan Zihui told her not to reveal her identity, so how should she respond to the forgiving nanny in front of her?
Woolen cloth?
"I..." Qi Zi stood up, his mind was in confusion and he couldn't explain why.
The palace maid next to her spoke: "Mother Wang, this palace maid is so bold, you have to deal with her well. You have always trained and trained the palace maids. If the emperor and Concubine Jin knew that the palace maid came to Qi Feng Palace to cause trouble, the consequences would be serious.
of."
"Who is this palace maid? I have no grudges against her, so why are you trying to get in trouble with me?" Qi Zi thought.
After hearing what the palace maid said, the nun seemed even more angry and ordered the eunuch behind her: "Go and arrest her."
"Yes." The three eunuchs walked towards Qi Zi, and as soon as their hands touched her, Lan Zihui suddenly appeared at the door and shouted: "Stop."
The eunuch stopped, and everyone looked at him. Grandma Wang said angrily: "It turns out to be General Lan, why are you here?"
"Mom is joking, I am in charge of the safety of the palace, so there is nothing wrong with appearing here."
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that the servant is disciplining the palace maid. Doesn't General Lan also want to interfere?" Grandma Wang said loudly.
Qi Zi said goodbye to the eunuch and walked to Lan Zihui and said, "General Lan, let's go. I don't want to see these people."
Hearing what Qi Zi said, Grandma Wang was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. The maid in the palace dared to treat her like this. She shouted angrily: "You are too presumptuous. You don't even take me seriously." Then she said to her again.
Lan Zihui said: "General Lan, I want to take this palace man back and discipline him strictly. Please don't interfere."
"I'm sorry, Grandma Wang, you can't let her take her away. What's more, she was brought in by me, so she has to be taken out by me."
"You...you dare to stop me from disciplining the palace maid. You must know that she is just a humble servant and does not deserve the general's openness and protection."
"Whether it's worth it or not is my business, I don't let you worry about it, grandma."
Grandma Wang suddenly laughed evilly and said, "Does the general want to wait for this palace lady to leave the palace in a few years and take her in?"
Lan Zihui was about to say something, but Qi Zi didn't want to be irritated by her words. He raised his hand and slapped her in the face and said, "Please be careful with your words and don't insult General Lan's reputation." Everyone present was frightened.
Stare
Stunned, Grandma Wang stared at her, gnashing her teeth with hatred. She raised her hand to slap Qi Zi back, but Lan Zihui blocked her face, and she stopped, looking at her with the same anger.
He admires Lan Zihui, but is afraid of him.
"Okay, for the sake of General Lan, I'll let you go today. Please be more careful in the future." Grandma Wang dropped these words and left quickly.
Lan Zihui breathed a sigh of relief, but Qi Zi looked at the direction they were leaving and said, "Are all the people in the palace so arrogant and domineering?"
Lan Zihui did not answer her question, but said: "Empress, let's go, I will take you back to Zhilan Garden."
