Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

"No need, they will still be taken care of by the two concubines. As the principal concubine, you can teach them at any time."

Li Wanqing: “…” How can I teach him if I can’t even see him?

Emperor Shenwu looked at Empress Dowager Li, who reacted and said, "You are newly married, so I'm sure there are many things to deal with. I will send in the maids and the palace maids to teach you. The royal heir must not be neglected."

She didn't think so much. If Li Wanqing had her own children, then the children of her original wife... Compared to her niece, she would of course value her grandchildren more.

Prince An looked at Princess An's aggrieved eyes and stammered, "This arrangement is acceptable, but the status of the two concubines is too low. Isn't the status of the concubine too low?"

Seeing his confusion, Emperor Shenwu felt that even a little emotion was unnecessary: ​​"Prince An, you care about your wife, but I care about the royal heirs. Mother, I have things to attend to, so I'm leaving first."

The Prince An's Mansion had two more concubines, and the Empress Dowager also rewarded him with dozens of palace maids, eunuchs, and several teaching maids, who were specially given to the little princess.

The two new concubines of Prince An were relieved of their anxiety. With the care of the emperor and the empress dowager, even if Prince An favored his new wife alone, their lives and those of their three children would not be too difficult.

Good news came from the six palaces again. Concubine Zhang and Lady Wei have been pregnant for more than a month. Concubine Zhang was the most low-key of the three beauties who entered the palace last year.

Emperor Shenwu, the Empress Dowager, and the three concubines were all rewarded, and those with higher positions were also rewarded according to the rules. The due dates of Concubine Wen and Bai Shuren were approaching, Concubine Wen's due at the end of April, and Bai Shuren's due about a month earlier. Concubine Lin, who had a miscarriage before, was also out and about.

On the last day of February, Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu to the royal temple Guoan Temple for an outing.

Qian Hui and Prince Ding naturally followed the emperor to Guoan Temple, and when they bumped into each other, Prince Ding couldn't help but frown and said, "General Qian, you've been a little quiet lately."

Qian Hui didn't want to say more: "Your Highness, I have to do my job well." After saying that, he looked at the emperor not far away.

A blanket had been spread across the lush grass, and the emperor sat casually on it. Lan Qingwu knelt beside him, whispering to him from time to time. Ruhan then took out a jade flute and presented it to Lan Qingwu. Lan Qingwu picked up the flute, and the graceful and elegant sound echoed with the green trees and the gentle breeze.

Hearing the sound of the flute, I feel melancholy

The clouds are still late at night

Right and wrong are all in the past

How can I treat it as a dream after waking up?

How to measure the gains and losses of reputation and criticism in this world

Xiao Xiao's blood is hot and the blade is cold

The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and I hear the sound of the piano

The End of the Chen Qing Lying on the Reeds, the Moon is Like Frost

Boil a pot of life and death sorrow and joy to commemorate the young man

Where can the bright moon still come from?

It is better to experience the wind and waves freely

A song from the end of the world is melodious together

A song from the end of the world is melodious together

(From: Unrestrained - Xiao Zhan)

Prince Ding was also quite interested in the music and could not help but immerse himself in it, feeling that he had never heard such a piece of music before.

Emperor Shenwu opened his eyes and said, "Weiwei's music is always unique."

Lan Qingwu said softly, "I just don't want to completely forget them."

Emperor Shenwu asked, "Does this song also have a story behind it?"

Lan Qingwu replied, "It's about two people who regard each other as close friends and venture into the martial arts world together."

Emperor Shenwu leaned close to her ear and said, "Ruoruo, what is the ending of the story of the twin flowers that you told me?" It would be good to finish the story that was not finished in Xiaotaoyuan now.

Lan Qingwu paused and said, "This ending is not good, so let's not talk about it."

Emperor Shenwu looked at her suspiciously, so Lan Qingwu could only say, "The elder sister of the Twin Flowers was forced to death by the immortals and demons, leaving only the younger sister. She became a demon seeking revenge and turned sword against her immortal husband. Then, the Guixu (Ascendants of the Earth) began to stir. For her lover, friend, father, and her sister's flower spirit, the younger sister sacrificed her body to fill the Guixu (Ascendants of the Earth), and her soul was shattered."

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Are you saying that the two sisters' souls were scattered, leaving only two widowers from the immortal and demon clans?"

He glanced at Lan Qingwu's expression and whispered, "I don't believe it. The song of the twin flowers was sung by you on the day we became lovers. How could the story be like this?"

Lan Qingwu could only say, "Your Majesty is wise, but this is a story from a storybook... In the end, the four tribes put aside their hatred and prejudice against the twin flowers, and combined their strength to rebuild the scenery of Dongqiu, awakening their spiritual wisdom. They used pure and turbid energy to nourish the flower spirits, and finally the twin flowers were revived."

Lan Qingwu leaned close to his ear and said something, and the emperor smiled.

Qian Hui suddenly said, "Your Majesty, look—"

Prince Ding looked up and saw Prince Kang on the other side staring blankly at the Emperor. When Prince Ding was about to go over, he saw Prince Kang walking towards the Emperor.

Emperor Shenwu frowned when he saw Prince Kang. Prince Kang wanted to bow, but Emperor Shenwu said, "No need for formalities in public."

King Kang bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

The Emperor felt the hand gripping his arm tighten. He looked down and saw Lan Qingwu gently move her knees behind him, half blocking her body. Knowing she still had some hidden concerns, the Emperor cast a dark gaze at Prince Kang. "If nothing else, please withdraw."

King Kang paused, still lacking the courage to raise his head, and then bowed: "I will take my leave."

Prince Kang was still lost in thought about the man he had just met when Prince Ding suddenly pulled him aside. "Why are you here?"

King Kang couldn't help but frown and said, "Third brother, why can't I be here?"

Prince Ding looked at the large crowd and said nothing. However, Qian Hui, who was standing next to him, looked at Prince Kang in deep thought for a long time.

Lan Qingwu was about to change clothes, so he took his leave from Emperor Shenwu and went to the other side with Ruhan. On his way back, he stopped at a place to take in the scenery of the temple. He felt that the spring light was bright and beautiful, and the glory was brilliant. Ruhan suddenly said: "Master, look--"

Lan Qingwu looked down and saw a little girl, about three years old, looking around. The little girl was wearing fine clothes, but there was no one around her. Lan Qingwu frowned and looked at her. She felt that she was familiar. Suddenly, she remembered that on the day of the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Qian brought her child to pay a visit. She took a look and it seemed to be this girl.

She asked Ruhan to get some dried fruits and coax the girl to her side. After a while, two maids came and Lan Qingwu asked one of them to go find Madam Qian.

After a while, Mrs. Qian came in panting. She first coaxed her daughter, handed her to the maid behind her, and then solemnly bowed to Lan Qingwu to express her gratitude.

Lan Qingwu hurriedly asked her to stand up: "There are many people in the temple, Madam Qian, you must not let the child out of your sight."

Mrs. Qian said: "Yes, madam, this is..."

Lan Qingwu replied, "I came here with my husband for an outing."

Madam Qian nodded in understanding: "I have been staying here recently, so I am afraid I cannot thank you anymore." Since Madam is here, that person must be here too.

Lan Qingwu smiled and said, "Mrs. Qian, if you have time this afternoon, you can come see me. This child is very cute."

Mrs. Qian had a gentle smile on her face.

Lan Qingwu went back to find Emperor Shenwu, only to see someone beside the emperor answering a question. She then walked towards the apricot tree on the other side. The tree was full of apricot blossoms. She looked up and stretched out her white hands to pick a branch.
