Lan Ling wanted to ask Ling Chen, but couldn't figure out what he wanted to ask.
Tell him not to marry Dou Wan'er
Ling Shuang has already rejected Dou Erqin, Ling Chen can't reject Dou Wan'er again, unless Daxing and Dayue Kingdom fight each other.
Lan Ling sat down, feeling depressed.
Ling Chen didn't come to Wangyou Palace these few days, not just because he was busy.
Since he gave me the seat of queen, wouldn't he tell me about his concubine? Lan Ling's hand gently caressed her lower abdomen.
Since she had a child, her mood has also changed a lot, not as sharp as before. But Ling Chen has not seen her, why
On this day, when it was snowing, Lan Ling went to the yard to watch Xiao Guizi, Zhang Dong and the others bring a few maids to hold sparrows in baskets.
Wen Heng walked in.
"Is Concubine Yi okay?" Lan Ling asked.
Wen Heng smiled slightly, "The queen doesn't need to be so vigilant, it seems like I'm going to eat you." Her tone was sneering.
"I heard that they are gathering at Concubine Hui's Changle Palace to treat Princess Dou Wan'er, and the emperor is there too. It's fine if I don't go, and the empress didn't go either?" Wen Heng asked a little strangely.
Lan Ling smiled: "You and I are both pregnant, so we won't be happy if we go, and it will affect others." Lan Ling said.
"You can think about it. It seems that you agreed to the emperor's marriage to Dou Wan'er." Wen Heng looked up at Lan Ling, "I thought you would object!" She looked at Lan Ling with a smile, turned and left.
Ji Xiang said angrily: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is too rude!"
"Forget it." Lan Ling understood that Wen Heng never thought she was a queen. The queen's seat should have been reserved for Wen Heng. Lan Ling himself felt like he had stolen it.
Wen Heng specially came to tell her today that Liu Hui and the others are hosting a banquet for the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom in Changle Palace.
Lan Ling knew that Wen Heng didn't have good intentions, but after hearing the news, he felt really uncomfortable.
It turned out that she, the queen, was really a display.
How long will he avoid me
Ling Chen never told Lan Ling about marrying a concubine, and Lan Ling didn't ask.
Wen Heng's words made Lan Ling feel depressed. After noon, the wind stopped. Lan Ling took Lixia to the plum blossom forest in front of Changxin Palace to see plum blossoms.
Li Xia said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you'd better not go, although the wind has stopped, the snow is too slippery, what if it gets slippery?"
"I'll just take it easy. I'm really bored. Tell Xiao Guizi to bring a few bottles, and we'll pick the snow from the plum blossoms to make tea." Lan Ling ordered.
There is a large plum blossom forest in front of her former Changxin Palace. At this time, winter plums are in full bloom.
Lan Ling wore a water-blue cloak embroidered with white stalks, and the white fox fur set off her white hibiscus face.
Lixia, Jixiang and Xiao Guizi followed behind.
Arriving at the plum forest, there are plum blossoms inlaid in the snow here, and the plum shadows lie alone, and the sparse shadows are slanting horizontally, very quiet.
Lan Ling and the girls picked the snow from the stamens with silver spoons and put them into white jade bottles.
"Your Majesty, there are so many sparrows here, we should bring them here by Jiang Yanluo, we can confiscate many of them. The sparrows in our yard have all become fine, and we have eaten all the millet that has been sown, but we can't confiscate a single one!" Xiao Guizi said.
"Wrong, it's because you sprinkled too much millet. Before they got into the basket, they were already full, so why take risks? Sparrows are not stupid!" Li Xia said.
Lan Ling stood next to a tall plum tree. The flowers of this tree were thicker than other trees, and they bloomed more.
Playing voices and hearty laughter came from behind. Lan Ling was stunned by the familiar voice, she knew who was coming.
Lan Ling sighed and didn't look back.
She heard Li Xia call her, "Mother, the emperor and the others are here."
The girl and the eunuch knelt down to pay their respects, and Lan Ling turned around slowly, watching them standing there.
Ling Chen was wearing a black cloak, looking at her expressionlessly.
It was Dou Wan'er who stood with him.
Next to them are Liu Hui, Lin Jing, and Guan Yue. They all had smiles on their faces, Lan Ling knew they were watching her joke.
Tian Ming frowned, lowered his head, Yang Shu and Gu Fan were behind Ling Chen.
Everyone bowed and saluted.
"Wan'er, I have met the empress," Ling Chen said to Dou Wan'er who was standing there.
"Wan'er has met the empress." Dou Wan'er is cute.
Ling Chen came over: "It's such a cold day, what are you doing out again?"
Lan Ling sneered: "Your Majesty, the concubine is only pregnant, not sick. Besides, the emperor didn't say that the concubine should be grounded, right? Since I disturbed the emperor's elegance, the concubine will leave!" Lan Ling's voice was cold, bowed and saluted, and turned around gone.
Ling Chen's face turned cold, she was annoyed by calling her a concubine, he was used to her calling him by his name directly.
Lan Ling didn't understand what Ling Chen meant by keeping her secret.
Seeing Lan Ling leading the girls away without looking back, Ling Chen looked at Dou Wan'er, "You and Concubine Hui walked around the yard."
Dou Wan'er tugged at Ling Chen's sleeve and was about to act coquettishly, but Ling Chen had already walked away. Dou Wan'er stood there frowning, saying that the emperor was unrestrained, sympathetic, why did he turn his face so quickly!
Ling Chen quickly chased after Lan Ling. He saw Lan Ling walking quickly from a distance, felt uncomfortable, and chased after him in a few steps.
"Ling'er!" he called out.
Lan Ling walked faster.
Ling Chen walked over a few steps and hugged her, "Why do you not agree, I have indulged you too much!"
"Who told the emperor to indulge his concubines? The emperor can definitely punish his concubines!"
"You!" Ling Chen hugged her tightly, "Don't move around, be careful not to hurt the child."
Lan Ling couldn't move, and felt even more uncomfortable, and tears flowed out.
He carried her to Wangyou Palace, and Mei Lin was not close to Wangyou Palace.
Lan Ling struggled to get down. Ling Chen grabbed her hands and didn't let go.
"Ling Shuang refused the marriage. I can no longer refuse the marriage. I never told you that I wanted Prince Rui to marry her. Prince Rui has never had a concubine."
Lan Ling's small face was pale, and big and big teardrops dripped down silently. Ling Chen felt distressed, "Stop crying, okay?"
"Has King Rui agreed?" Lan Ling asked.
"Prince Rui agrees, but Dou Wan'er disagrees. So Ling'er, I have agreed to bring her into the harem and become my concubine."
Lan Ling sneered, "The concubine knows." Lan Ling shook off Ling Chen's hand and walked quickly.
Ling Chen stood there, watching Lan Ling go further and further away.
I clearly know that he is helpless, and I believe him, but why is it still so uncomfortable
Lan Ling cried as he walked.
As the year approached, Ling Chen became more and more busy. During this time, he only visited Wangyou Palace twice, and left after sitting for a while.
Lan Ling is not as dependent on him as before, and the two of them are always indifferent when they meet. Ling Chen was even more troubled.
He handed over the matter of marrying the princess to Liu Hui. The reason is that the queen is pregnant and should not be too tired.
Dou Wan'er has already returned to the Great Moon Kingdom, and the wedding date is set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Ling Shuang lifted her feet the day before New Year's Eve.
She came to Lan Ling's palace early in the morning.
"Sister-in-law Ling, I heard that Brother Huang is going to marry the princess of the Great Moon Kingdom for me, are you angry with me?"
Lan Ling smiled, "That's your brother's decision, why am I angry with you?"
"But Brother Huang once said that he will not accept another concubine, and only wants to be with you." Ling Shuang felt very guilty.
"When did he say that, why don't I know?" Lan Ling asked.
"It was when you were in Moshan that once a minister wrote to ask the emperor to recruit more concubines and spread the leaves, but the emperor refused. Let's have dinner together, the emperor said it himself."
Lan Ling looked up at Ling Shuang, pondering, did I really misunderstand him
