Chapter 313 Ruyi (13)
Hai Lan heard from the palace maid who served her that Gao Xiyue had come. When Lu Changqing was holding the baby and feeding him, she asked him if he had made things difficult for her.
Lu Changqing asked the other party to relax and said, "Just rest assured and take care of yourself. How can I suffer any loss from her?"
Hailan said gratefully: "Sister, thank you."
"How can I thank you for helping you take care of the child?"
Hailan shook her head. "Not only that, I am weak in character. I have relied on you to help me over the years, otherwise it would be difficult for me to get to where I am now."
Lu Changqing: …
You are wrong, sister. It is because of "Ruyi" that your life was so difficult in the past.
"We are sisters, so we should help each other." Lu Changqing said shamelessly, and then she changed the subject very abruptly when she saw the child in Hailan's arms, "How about this, I'll ask the emperor to move you to the Yanxi Palace, so that we can live together and it will be more convenient for me to take care of the child."
"Will the Emperor agree?"
"Yes, I will go ask the Queen for help first."
The next day, Lu Changqing went to talk to Fu Cha Langya about this matter, and only said that it would be more convenient to take care of the children, and hoped that she could help plead with Emperor Gaozong of Qing.
Fu Cha Langya put down the teacup in her hand and said, "If we suddenly move to another palace at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Concubine Gao."
Lu Changqing said, "Your Highness, let's be frank. After the cinnabar incident, who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor values his offspring? Hailan is still a member of the Imperial Concubine's palace. If something happens to the child, the Imperial Concubine will be the first to be held accountable. The Imperial Concubine is not stupid, why would she want to harm the child?"
"If Concubine Gao really wanted to harm the child, she would have done it when Hailan was pregnant. Why wait until now?"
Fu Cha Langya stared at Lu Changqing with a deep gaze, "Why doesn't Concubine Xian go and ask the emperor directly?"
"Your Highness, you are the master of the Six Palaces, so I should talk to you about these matters first."
"I remember that the emperor hasn't been to your palace for quite some time. Concubine Xian, why don't you take this opportunity to let the emperor go to your place? After all, you will still live in the harem in the future."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I feel that life is pretty good now. There are so many people in the palace serving the Emperor, and one more person is not enough."
"Are you angry with the emperor?"
Lu Changqing said hurriedly, "I dare not, but I have figured out some things in the cold palace and I don't want to deceive myself anymore. I used to do a lot of stupid things and said a lot of stupid things when I was not clear-headed. Not only did I not get any good results, but I also made Hailan stupid. Now I have figured it out. Instead of pursuing some empty things, it is better to live my own life well."
Fu Cha Langya understood that Lu Changqing was talking about the emperor's favor, and she did not quite agree with what she said.
"How can that be considered empty talk? It is always better to have the emperor's favor than to have nothing at all. If nothing else, at least your family can benefit from your blessings to some extent."
"Really capable men are those who have made great achievements on their own, have titles for their wives and children, and extend the blessings of their families for centuries. Only incompetent men rely on the girls in their families to win their favor."
Lu Changqing's words were somewhat offensive to the main characters. In order to demonstrate the unity of the main characters and the benefits of sticking together, from the queen to her trusted palace maids, all those whose fathers had brothers were pillars of the country and were reused by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty in the middle and late periods.
Fucha Langya: ...
Seeing Fu Cha Langya's embarrassed expression, Lu Changqing explained: "Don't misunderstand, Madam, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about my father and brother at home."
Fu Cha Langya was completely bored by Lu Changqing, and waved her hand at her, saying, "I've been with you for so many years, don't I know your temper? Yes is yes, no is no. I will talk to the emperor about this matter later, and I will send someone to inform you when there is a result."
Lu Changqing stood up and bowed to Fu Cha Langya gratefully, "I would like to thank you first."
After Lu Changqing left, Wei Yanwan saw that Fu Cha Langya looked depressed, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the queen? Why are you so depressed?"
"Yan Wan, what do you think of the Emperor's attitude towards me?"
Wei Yanwan didn't know why Langya asked this, but she still answered truthfully based on what she had seen and heard these days: "I think the emperor treats the queen very well. The emperor was so busy before, but he still came to see the queen often, which shows that the queen holds a great importance in the emperor's heart."
"Is it a big portion?" Langya looked at the flower bed outside the house, a smile on her face, and repeated Wei Yanwan's words.
"Yes, everyone in the palace knows that the emperor loves you the most."
Wei Yanwan thought that Langya would be very happy after she said this, but she didn't expect that after hearing this, she put away the smile on her face, sighed and said with some envy: "I suddenly admire Concubine Xian for being able to take it or leave it."
Wei Yanwan looked puzzled, "Your Majesty, please forgive my stupidity. From what I heard from Concubine Xian just now, it seems that she doesn't intend to compete for favor anymore?"
Fu Cha Langya said, "How can I be stupid? Didn't you figure it out?"
Wei Yanwan knelt down and bowed to Fu Cha Langya, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness, but what else can a concubine do if she doesn't compete for favor? Am I going to live out my life alone in this palace?"
Fu Cha Langya was surprised and asked: "Why do you think so?"
Wei Yanwan said: "Generals want to win battles, officials want to take care of people's livelihood, and concubines naturally want to compete for the emperor's favor. This is a very natural thing."
Fu Cha Langya was startled, "Is that what you think?"
Wei Yanwan looked at Fu Cha Langya and asked cautiously, "Does your Majesty think that my idea is wrong?"
Fu Cha Langya smiled and shook her head gently, "That's right. If you want to live well in the harem, you naturally cannot live without the emperor's favor. It's great that you have this ambition."
Wei Yanwan was very happy to be affirmed by Fu Cha Langya.
Because she was too happy, she didn't notice that the smile on Fu Cha Langya's lips was too stiff.
After she was assigned to go out to do some work, Fu Cha Langya sat in the empty palace in a daze. After a while, she got up and walked into the palace, turning her head to look at the plaque hanging on the wall.
Fu Cha Langya closed her eyes and suddenly felt very tired. It was as if there was a stone blocking her heart, weighing heavily.
How nice it would be if she was not the queen, but just a concubine, just like Concubine Xian, who could stop loving when she didn't want to, and let go when she wanted to. She wouldn't have to take care of harem affairs, and she wouldn't have to take care of other women in the harem and the children they shared for her man.
Perhaps it would be better not to enter the palace or have a family.
No, it’s best not to be a woman.
The more Fu Cha Langya thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Feelings of grievance, regret, depression, disappointment, etc. mixed together made her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
Everyone said that she was extremely lucky and blessed to be the only one favored by the emperor, but if she was really the only one favored by the emperor, then what was Concubine Gao? What were the other concubines in the harem?
Her man always said that he loved and respected her, but he often entered the palaces of other concubines in the harem.
If respect and love are just words, then the most affectionate person in the harem must be Concubine Xian. From this point of view, the emperor is actually the luckiest and happiest person in the Forbidden City.
Thinking of this, Fu Cha Langya burst out laughing.
She didn't know what she was laughing at, but she suddenly found it very funny.
I am funny, the emperor is funny, and those people in the palace who think the emperor is affectionate are also funny.
