The enchanting prince and the sweet concubine

As soon as she stepped out of the Anci Palace, Lan Duoduo felt her whole body relaxed, facing a room full of women, she really couldn't stand it.Gu Ruyan looked at her, amused for a while, this little girl, if she really came late, I don't know how anxious she would be.

"Sister Ruyan, aren't you bored in the palace every day?" If she had been bored long ago, she would have nothing to do except luxurious palaces, and she would have to live cautiously.

"It's okay!" Gu Ruyan just smiled back, but there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes.She has been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she always goes out of the door without leaving the house, so it doesn't matter where she is.

The three of them walked through the Qingshui Palace to the Taihe Palace, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw Prince Xiao Feng sitting on a stone chair drinking tea.As soon as the three of Lan Duoduo entered, Xiao Feng stood up to greet them.

"Little Princess, come in today!" Xiao Feng smiled brightly, and looked at Xiao Yi again, the two brothers nodded to each other as a greeting.

"Brother Xiao Feng, I missed you so much that I came in." Lan Duoduo said sweetly, her brows and eyes were slightly curved into graceful arcs, her pink lips were slightly raised, like blooming petals, with a seductive charm.In fact, she really misses sister Ruyan, but it's a pity that they don't come out of the palace.

"Little princess is sweet-talking and will act good." Although she is his sister-in-law, he, like Gu Ruyan, regards her as a little sister in his heart.When Xiao Feng said this, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"It seems that brother Yi and the little princess are in a good relationship!" Xiao Feng noticed their clothes, raised his eyebrows and smiled.It's okay if you don't say anything, but when you say Lan Duoduo is unhappy, she immediately pouted her mouth and glared at Xiao Yi angrily. She just had a bad episode with the queen, and now she doesn't need to show him face.

Gu Ruyan knew that she was unhappy when she saw her disdain for Xiao Yi, "Xiaoduo, let's sit in the garden!" She tugged at her, and if she didn't pull her down, her eyes would pop out up.

"Then the concubine will go and chat with the emperor's wife. I will discuss something with the emperor, and I will call you after lunch." Xiao Yi blinked his peachy eyes, holding his breath in his heart, but his face remained calm and his tone was soft.Gu Ruyan smiled slightly, she didn't expect that Xiao Yi would always be devastated when he met her.Even though she has no feelings for Xiao Feng, at least the two have always treated each other with respect and lived in harmony.Unlike Xiao Yi and Lan Duoduo, who are like an iceberg and a gunpowder, maybe one day, the iceberg will really be melted by the gunpowder.

Lan Duoduo was only able to understand Gu Ruyan's words, she came today for a purpose, she stopped talking to Xiao Yi, and followed Gu Ruyan to the garden.

The imperial palace is the imperial palace, and this Taihe Palace is completely different from Prince Yi's Mansion, it is full of splendor and splendor.In Jingya Garden, the lake leans against the shore, the willow trees hang down, and there are many pavilions on the lake. There is a bridge in three steps and a pavilion in five steps.The rockery is jagged with strange rocks, and the emerald green vines climb along it, like a cool barrier, a quiet and elegant place.Lan Duoduo and Gu Ruyan sat down in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the spring breeze gently brushed their faces, making them slightly cooler. Fish in the lake were actively swimming in the water, and birds flew by from time to time.

"Xiaoduo, you seem to have a big opinion on King Yi!" Gu Ruyan looked around and finally asked the question she wanted to ask.She knew that Xiao Yi had always had a flat attitude towards people, but since Xiao Yi and Xiaoduo got married, she could still feel the changes in Xiao Yi, but Xiaoduo seemed to dislike Xiao Yi very much.

"It's just a political marriage, it's fake to have no opinion." Lan Duoduo whispered, looking at Gu Ruyan, those eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul of a person.She actually didn't know Xiao Yi well, and she didn't even know what her opinion was, but when she heard that he was using her, she felt very sad.

"Actually Xiao Yi is a nice man, why don't Xiaoduo try to accept him." When Gu Ruyan said this, her eyes were full of admiration.Maybe Xiao Yi was too perfect in her heart, sometimes even she felt inferior when she looked at him from afar.

"Did sister Ruyan ever fall in love with him?" When she saw the three of them for the first time, she had a very strange feeling. Although sister Ruyan and brother Xiao Feng seemed to be husband and wife, they always felt that they lacked the bond between husband and wife. The intimacy that should exist.Just like she and Xiao Yi, even though they are holding hands, they are actually very alienated from each other.

Gu Ruyan smiled slightly, a bit bitter and meaningless, she didn't answer bluntly, but Lan Duoduo had already confirmed the answer, although she didn't understand why she would still marry Xiao Feng, it must be similar to her marriage, how many women in ancient times could get rid of such a What about fate!

The spring breeze blew again, and Gu Ruyan's shoulder-falling long hair blew up, her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, her bright eyes gleamed, reflecting the rippling light of the lake, with a rippling warmth.Gu Ruyan is really beautiful, even more beautiful than her mother's queen, and even more beautiful than the oiran she saw last time. It's just that such a beauty is too weak, but she conceals herself so tightly that there is no trace of tenderness.She didn't understand why so many women liked Xiao Yi, and what was so good about him.

"Sister Ruyan, why did you marry your cousin?" No matter whether Sister Ruyan likes Xiao Feng or Xiao Yi, she still finds it strange!In modern times, cousins ​​cannot marry, or the child born without it will be deformed.

"Xiaoduo, you don't know yet! My aunt is not the biological mother of Prince Yi and the prince. My aunt has no children." Gu Ruyan couldn't help laughing. The little girl thought she would like her cousin. I have never regarded the relationship between brothers and sisters as the relationship between men and women.Lan Duoduo was obviously surprised, Queen Gu loved Xiao Yi and Xiao Feng very much, just like her own children.

"Sister Ruyan, tell me about the people and things around you, so that I won't misunderstand again." In fact, she wanted to understand Xiao Yi, but she was embarrassed to speak out.Gu Ruyan looked at her little face and began to talk about the people around her.

It turned out that Gu Ruyan was the daughter of Prime Minister Gu at the time, and her aunt was also the empress of the dynasty, and she was only married to Xiao Feng by Emperor Xiao half a year ago.Xiao Yi's mother concubine was Lan Guifei, and Xiao Feng's mother concubine was the Golden Empress. When Xiao Yi was six years old, Lan Guifei took Xiao Yi to the Puli Temple to pray for blessings, but she was killed on the way back.Rumor has it that the Golden Empress sent someone to kill Concubine Lan because she was jealous that Emperor Xiao loved Concubine Lan too much.Less than a year after the death of Concubine Lan Gui, the Golden Queen died tragically by hanging from a beam one night. Many court ladies and eunuchs said that Concubine Lan Gui came back to take revenge and hanged the Golden Queen to death.Later, in order to silence everyone's rumors, Emperor Xiao claimed that Empress Jin died of illness, and sent away all the court ladies and eunuchs who knew about it back then.A country cannot live without a queen, that's why Xiao Huang married Gu Sijing, who is now Empress Gu.

When Gu Sijing was 15 years old, the imperial physician found out that she had no menstruation, that is, she had no fertility. In ancient times, almost no man would want a woman without fertility.When she was 22 years old, that is, the year when Empress Jin died, Emperor Xiao suddenly ordered her to be his empress. The reason why she was chosen was firstly because Empress Gu was kind, and secondly because she was fertile and fearful. It also caused competition for favor, and no noble concubine has been established since then.On the contrary, in order to avoid gossip, Empress Gu selected a group of beautiful girls for Xiao Huang, but these beautiful girls were only maidservants, and only four prominent women were appointed nobles by Xiao Huang. I heard that it was Empress Gu's intention.

That's why Lan Duoduo saw so many women appearing in the Queen's Anci Palace. Many women want to climb up and want to please the Queen, but Queen Gu is very fair to everyone, so the reason why she chose those four women Being a nobleman is also because the four noblemen are the most outstanding among so many beautiful women.It's just that Mrs. Fu rarely goes to Anci Palace, and doesn't interact with other nobles and maids very much.

Lan Duoduo didn't expect Xiao Yi to be so pitiful. His mother and concubine were murdered at a young age, so it's no wonder his character is so lonely.However, her mother died early in modern times, and she was not seen to be aloof. It seems that he still thinks of himself a little bit high.But she didn't know that Xiao Yi watched his mother and concubine being murdered with his own eyes, so there was always a shadow in his little heart. Because of this shadow, Xiao Yi was tortured all the time.

"Sister Ruyan, why do those nobles still salute to you? Aren't they all the emperor's women?" Lan Duoduo was very puzzled. Give her the same gift.An Li said, they are all elders!

"They are just little nobles, don't talk about me, it's you. They have to salute when they see each other." Nobles are just nobles, not noble concubines, not to mention different status, their identities are different. The crown prince and princess Yi are both concubines , Even court ministers have to salute when they see her.

Lan Duoduo finally knew that it was really pathetic to be a woman of the emperor. She was afraid of being jealous and unfavored, and her status would always be inferior to others. Looking for a woman, if she is, you can't do it by killing.

"Sister Ruyan, will Xiao Yi take advantage of me?" Last night Xiao Yi said that the outside world was all rumors, she thought about it for a long time, and was always conflicted in her heart.Gu Ruyan shuddered suddenly, she didn't understand why a little girl would ask such a question, seeing the worry in her eyes, could it be that her attitude towards Xiao Yi was all because she was afraid that Xiao Yi would take advantage of her.

"Xiao Duo, although King Yi has always been indifferent to people, he will never take advantage of women." Although she doesn't know Xiao Yi very well, but he can become the God of War worshiped by the common people. This alone is enough to make many women's hearts flutter. She remembered that the first time she met Xiao Yi was when she was eight years old, at Xiao Huang's banquet.She drew a picture of peonies, and he boldly wrote a poem on the stage, and was moved by his excellent poem. Until now, she still keeps this painting.

But it's true, Xiao Yi doesn't need to use her to take over the Lan Lingguo at all. With Xiao Zhanguo's national strength, it's easy to defeat the Lan Lingguo.Whether she was worrying too much, or she was too suspicious, but when she thought of sending a killer to kill her, there was still a void in her heart, as if she was pulling herself, making her feel very uncomfortable.
