Luo Changan was sitting on a chair in the flower hall. She took off the mistress bracelet from her wrist, placed it in a brocade box, and locked it.
She didn't like to wear jewelry. It turned out that she was wearing a blood bracelet that the emperor bought for her on her left wrist. She bought it from a riverside vendor for not much money. It was the most inconspicuous but heaviest thing among the things the emperor gave her. However, after the fire
Burning has gone through life and death, and it looks different with memories. Once it was lost and found, she kept wearing it.
Moreover, I bought it from a riverside stall. That day, I and the emperor were just like an ordinary couple, so happy. He didn't have a harem at that time, and she still had the courage to be willful.
The mistress bracelet is worn on the right wrist. It is different from the red color of the blood bracelet. It is emerald green and is also a memory. Regarding the Queen Mother, it is always unsatisfactory. Moreover, the mistress is not a mistress. She is not too caring and does not use this bracelet to express anything. Next
The next time I open this brocade box and take out the mistress's bracelet, it will be the time to hand it over to the next queen. In fact, in the palace, except for the emperor, there is nothing else that makes people miss me.
She opened the window a little, and the cool early winter air blew into the hall, making her troubled thoughts clearer.
Liu Qin walked into the house, and his anger subsided when he saw his sister's beautiful face, "Chang'an."
When Luo Changan saw his brother coming in, he smiled and said, "Brother, you entered the palace early today. Ze'er hasn't come yet. I just asked the palace people to find out his whereabouts."
Liu Qin lifted the hem of his clothes, crossed his legs and sat down on the chair, "The early bird catches the early bug."
Luo Changan was startled, "Huh?"
"The early bird catches the worm." Liu Qin pursed his lips, "I was so angry that the emperor's concubine left your house early in the morning. That's the opposite of what I said. My friend's family often said that he had an affair.
My concubine is funny. I used to treat her as a joke and everyone made fun of her. Now that this has happened in your house, I can’t laugh anymore."
Luo Changan did not answer the question and started another conversation, asking: "How has the family business been doing in the past month?"
"The eldest lady finally remembered her business and knew how to check the accounts. I was touched! It turns out I didn't forget. I thought that after joining the imperial family, I forgot the basics." Liu Qin nodded, "In business, there are losses and profits. Unlike my sister,
The marriage is guaranteed to be a loss. It will cost you yourself, your son, your younger brother, and your elder brother. The three brothers and sisters will join the imperial family."
"I've never forgotten it!" Luo Changan's sweet smile froze, and he said softly, "Brother, I'm already suffering enough. Why bother adding more words and ink."
"Brother, I feel sorry for you. I'm not adding insult to injury." Liu Qin stood up and walked to the corridor connecting the flower hall and the master bedroom. He opened the door curtain and looked inside. He didn't see the emperor's clothes in the Qingman House and asked again.
: "The emperor was resting with his concubine in the tongfang yesterday?"
Luo Changan's face turned hot. She knew that her brother was not optimistic about her marriage, "No."
"Don't tell me that the three of us were resting together. I might beat you to death!"
Luo Changan said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about?"
"It's fine if you don't have it. You can't do whatever he wants." Liu Qin looked at Luo Changan's red eyes, "Did you cry last night?"
"without."
"Every time I see you, brother, you are unhappy." Liu Qin was dissatisfied, "You still hide it from brother."
At this time, the concubines gradually entered the outer hall where Luo Changan usually held morning meetings with the palace concubines, and the palace officials were busy making tea and tea.
"You are very lively. You are a quiet person, and you live such a noisy and intrigue life every day. Let me see, who wants to burn you or poison you this time." Liu Qin looked gloomy, and opened the curtain to look into the outer hall.
After looking at the concubines, he came back and sat down, "Mom and dad know that you live such a life of compromise, you should be able to rest in peace."
Luo Changan's mouth suddenly hurt, and he said again: "Brother, you are prejudiced against the emperor. Things are not what you think."
Liu Qin laughed dryly, "Otherwise, what are you going to do, give him more women? Or should I encourage you to be content with the status quo? You are my sister, and I don't want you to suffer."
Luo Changan's eyes were slightly astringent. She just opened the window and the cold air invaded her, so she coughed twice.
Liu Qin carefully covered the window and still said nothing.
A voice that sounded like Kang Meng's voice outside asked the palace attendants: "Are there any hibiscus cakes here today? Your Majesty's hibiscus cake is the most delicious. Everyone likes it and is full of praises after using it!"
When Luo Changan heard the word hibiscus cake, he thought of emperor.
Xiaotao placed the flower petals in the master bedroom, incense them and went out of the house. She came close to Luo Changan, picked up the hibiscus cake from the big food box on the table, and said in a low voice: "That green man, with his nostrils turned upward, looked back at Xixi."
The Jade Pavilion is moving. The mattress, dressing table, etc. will be moved here soon, and then I will be carrying her things into the house under your eyes. It's really annoying."
"I'm not giving you a chance to insult her. Keep calm, I hope you will take over Aunt Mei's class. It's like a firecracker every day." Luo Changan looked at Liu Qin, and then felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his brother, so he took the hand from Xiaotao's hand.
He brought the hibiscus cake over and said, "From today onwards, hibiscus cake will not be served as tea for the morning meeting. Instead, other teas will be served."
Xiao Tao was startled. In the past, the empress didn't care about these refreshments. She arranged them all by herself. Today, she asked for the first time, "Yes. I will bring other refreshments out."
After saying that, he brought several other refreshments to the outer hall for the palace concubine.
Liu Qin reached out to take a piece of hibiscus cake from the food box.
Luo Changan removed the food box and said, "Brother, you can use the walnut cake next to it. This hibiscus cake belongs to me."
Liu Qin was startled, "When did you learn to protect your food?"
"Learned it last night." Luo Changan just smiled. She didn't know when such days would end. But she was willing to live such a life for the emperor and endure all the hardships. His heart disease was still not cured, and she couldn't leave him.
.
At this time, Cangmiao came in with anti-fetal medicine for Luo Changan, put the medicine on the table, and then helped Luo Changan feel his pulse through the handkerchief. Cangmiao frowned, "The fetal breathing is good and stable, and...
..”
Luo Changan was puzzled, "And? What?"
Cangmiao smiled meaningfully and said, "Nothing, nothing. Anyway, good!"
Liu Qin took a look at the anti-fetal medicine and suddenly became angry, even more angry than when he saw Qingman and the concubines in the outer hall just now, "Are you pregnant? It turns out that the emperor planted a baby in the house even though you were pregnant.
concubine?"
A shiver ran down Luo Changan's spine, "Brother, don't be angry. It was not the emperor's intention."
"The first child was taken away by the mother-in-law of the imperial family and the then queen-to-be just after birth. The second child was born and raised by the emperor alone when he went to war. The third child was aborted by the mother-in-law of the imperial family. In this fourth trimester, a little girl was kept by your side.
I'm so angry with you!" Liu Qin was furious, "What kind of happy life have you been living?"
Luo Changan lowered his head, "Okay. Let's not talk anymore. Why did I bother to invite you here? I originally wanted to send you off to Bai Ze. Now I am going to be sent away."
"Don't be angry. Don't be angry when you are pregnant. How can I make you so angry?" Liu Qin paused slightly, "Have you mentioned it to the emperor about the tenth anniversary of the death of your parents?"
"I mentioned it."
"The Emperor agrees?"
"He said he would consider how to arrange it. He didn't send a letter."
"Why don't you go back to your hometown and spend ten years with your parents? You can stay in your hometown for a few more years, seven or eight years, so that you can live a stable life and recuperate your body." Liu Qin sighed, "Brother has started to make arrangements in the past few days.
You go back. Don’t prepare in advance after ten years. There are a lot of things to buy. Honor your parents and the emperor will not stop you. You will ask for leave with him today and return home."
Luo Changan was startled, "This is not a matter of just leaving. I can't leave this place for a while. There are a lot of things waiting for me in the palace."
"What's the matter? Help Qingman move the dressing table? Or distribute refreshments to the concubines? Or take care of their family's food, drink, have fun, and take care of my parents?" Liu Qin said in a spicy tone, "Or every day
Look where the emperor has been walking around. He doesn’t care about the death anniversary of his father and mother. He is filial?"
"I don't care. I care." Luo Changan's eyes were filled with tears when his brother said, "There is also turmoil outside, and a lot of chaos has been brewing in the palace recently. After all, traveling requires careful consideration. You are not alone, and you just leave.
You have to consider how to place Jinfeng Jinhe, take it back with you or leave it alone."
"Are you reluctant to let go of the emperor? How can you still be reluctant to let go?"
"Liu Qin, you don't have to be angry." Cangmiao heard Liu Qin getting more and more angry and said with a smile: "It's nothing. The emperor divorces his concubine and it's over. He has no second thoughts about your sister. Besides, father-in-law and mother-in-law,
He also took it to heart."
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, which family do you belong to? Bai family, Kang family, Qing family?" Liu Qin sneered, "Zhang Wang Li Zhao, Zhao Qian Sun Li?"
Cangmiao shook his head and said, "The Bai family is the only one."
Liu Qin stood up quickly and said, "Break up? If you were willing to break up, you wouldn't wait until today. It's contrary to the ministers, trouble! It's great to have three bedrooms and four concubines! My sister has no complaints. The emperor decided that my sister is easy to handle.
He bullied her more and more. The bullies... lost weight!"
Cangmiao shrugged, "I grew up in the imperial family but did not touch the official position, just for freedom. The emperor is not an ordinary person. You may think that he can do whatever he wants. But most of the people who are restless cannot help themselves. But everything depends on man.
Don’t believe it yet.”
Liu Qin stood up and pointed at the anti-fetal medicine in Luo Changan's hand, "If the emperor is willing to divorce his concubine, I will drink this bowl of anti-fetal medicine!"
Luo Changan: "..." My brother is crazy again.
Liu Qin said angrily: "No, a bowl of anti-fetal medicine is too little. I will drink a few bowls of the anti-fetal medicine as long as he is pregnant!"
Cangmiao: "...Okay, okay. Be cruel to yourself." I have a lot of medicinal materials and I have enough control over them.
Xiao Tao was startled. The last time the prince ate a folding fan, this time... I hope the prince can drink the anti-fetal medicine! Unfortunately, it is difficult. After all, it is not a child's play. The emperor retired to the harem for the second time to be with the group.
It is unrealistic for ministers to contradict each other.
Luo Changan sighed, "It's getting more and more endless. Okay, brother."
"I made this bowl of anti-fetal medicine for Luo Chang'an. But it doesn't matter, I'll make it for you right now." Cangmiao folded his arms and told his medicine boy with a low smile: "You go and make seventy-two
Prepare a bowl of anti-fetal medicine, add more licorice to help lower the abdomen."
"Seventy-two bowls?" Liu Qin: "Hey, Cangmiao, you're in high spirits, aren't you... Who gave you the confidence?"
Cangmiao shrugged, "Idle time is idle. Have some fun."
Luo Changan saw Qiu Yan entering the flower hall from the end of his eyes, and asked, "Qiu Yan, why are you here?"
Qiu Yan nodded, "Bai Zeyuan came from the army to the palace to see the empress, but there was some trouble on the way. Some rebels from Xi Ming tied up a few people and hung them on stakes on the east city gate. He led his troops to quell the chaos. I'm afraid it was.
After finishing my work, I went directly to the general station. The emperor would go to the general station to see him off when he came down from court. He couldn't be late. He asked me to bring you a message to say that he was well. If I can't say goodbye to you in person,
Teach you not to worry about him, he will write to you frequently in two years."
Luo Changan's eyes were sore, and his heart was twisting. He looked at the cotton-padded clothes that had been packed on the desk for his brother, and felt really uncomfortable.
In addition, the concubines in the outer hall were waiting for her to become the director, so Qingman immediately moved to the Dragon Palace. Liu Qin was scolding her for not caring about her parents' ten-year taboo, saying that she was unfilial, and ordered the general platform not to allow women to go, and his younger brother was about to leave.
Maybe she couldn't say goodbye, and she suddenly fell into an emotional breakdown. When would such miserable days end?
How to spend the rest of your life.
Luo Changan held the hibiscus cake box in his hand, feeling a little helpless, and said to Qiu Yan: "That's it. I understand. Dim Jiangtai... Dim Jiangtai..."
Cangmiao looked at Qiu Yan, who was wearing a beaded flower in her bun, and praised her sincerely: "The flower on her hair is nice. She has pretty eyes."
Qiu Yan touched the beaded flower on her bun and said, "Tong Han's mother's birthday is today. He said that he wants me to wear this flower and go to his house at noon to celebrate his mother's birthday. His mother will be happy to see him."
Cangmiao nodded, "Very good. I'm really happy for his mother."
I'm so damn happy to remove the substitute word.
***
In the Jinluan Palace.
Emperor Qianao was sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials in the palace. The oath he made to his wife on the dragon chair still seemed like it happened yesterday.
Maybe she was thinking about how to spend the rest of her life in this winter morning.
He... drank the strongest daughter's red in his belly early in the morning to start a different morning.
The perfumer made today's ambergris stronger for him to cover up the smell of wine.
