Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu talked about the interesting things that happened during his childhood at the border, and Empress Dowager Li could only laugh out loud from time to time.

So when Emperor Shenwu arrived at the inner gate of Cining Palace at noon, he saw such a harmonious picture.

He stepped into the hall, and Lan Qingwu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly asked Emperor Shenwu to sit down. Emperor Shenwu looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you talking about with Concubine Yi, your mother?"

A smile appeared on Empress Dowager Li's face. "It's about how Concubine Yi was punished by her mother to kneel as a child, and then she wasn't allowed to make new clothes for her."

She looked at Lan Qingwu again: "Noble Lady Yi, please get up quickly. Let's just chat and there's no need to be so formal." After saying that, she glanced at Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu then said, "Noble Lady Yi, please stand up.

Lan Qingwu stood up and stood beside the emperor. Empress Dowager Li looked at Emperor Shenwu and asked, "Has the emperor finished his government affairs?"

Emperor Shenwu said: "Seeing the snacks that the Queen Mother sent over, it reminded me that it has been a long time since I last dined with her."

Behind Empress Dowager Li, Nanny Li smiled and said, "I will have the meal served right away."

After the meal, Empress Dowager Li asked the two to leave, using the excuse that she wanted to take a nap.

Nanny Li helped the Empress Dowager Li onto the bed: "The Empress Dowager is in a good mood today. It's rare that she gets along so well with Concubine Yi." If it were usual, how could the Empress Dowager be in a good mood when she thought of the late emperor?

Empress Dowager Li leaned back on the bed and said, "I find Concubine Yi's words particularly interesting. Her conduct in the world is so pure and kind, so rare, even in this palace..."

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but frown. It's not easy for such a person to survive in this palace. If...

Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu returned to Suowu Palace and took a nap with her in his arms.

After Lan Qingwu had rested, Emperor Shenwu said solemnly, "Follow me to go somewhere."

In the Changming Hall of Guoan Temple, Emperor Shenwu knelt solemnly in the hall, where the eternal lamp of the late emperor was always burning. Every time Emperor Shenwu came to this place, he would think of how his father taught him and how he raised him. Perhaps because he was the youngest son, his father gave him all the tenderness and expectations that a father had for his son, making his childhood no longer so empty and pale.

Emperor Shenwu suddenly turned around, pointed to his side, and said to Lan Qingwu: "Kneel beside me." He wanted his father to know that he had a woman who would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Lan Qingwu was slightly startled, and after a brief pause, he immediately stepped forward and knelt beside the emperor. A clever young monk nearby had already placed another cushion beside the emperor.

The Master of Suffering watched silently from the side, chanting the Buddha's name from time to time: "Amitabha!"

When they stepped out of the Changming Palace, Master Ku Ku finally couldn't help but say, "Amitabha! Your Majesty, please stay."

Emperor Shenwu turned around, and Master Kunku looked at Lan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, may I examine the face of this noble man?"

Lan Qingwu felt a surge of nervousness. The Emperor Shenwu felt his grip tighten. He said calmly, "Master, although I am here to pray for my father, you know I don't believe in these things. Let's leave the opportunity for others."

If Master Kunku had said the same thing as that wandering monk in front of so many people, wouldn't Lan Qingwu have been burned to death as a demon?!

Qian Hui seemed a little puzzled. How many dignitaries had begged Master Kunnan to read their fortunes but were never able to get in. The late emperor had also taken His Majesty to have his fortune read by Master Kunnan, and His Majesty had not been shy about it. This time, His Majesty's refusal was too straightforward.

Master Kunlun's gaze lingered on Lan Qingwu's face, until Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't seem surprised to hear the Divine Martial Emperor say this: "If that's the case, Your Majesty, then please come back when you need me. I'll be at your service at any time!"

When Emperor Shenwu heard him say this, he frowned slightly, nodded, and left Guoan Temple with Lan Qingwu.

The young novice monk behind Master Kunku seemed puzzled: "Master, you don't rush to read people's fortunes. What's so different about that noble man?"

Master Kunku fell into recollection: "The late emperor once brought the current emperor to see me. I carefully interpreted his horoscope and read his face and palm. The current emperor..."

His voice became inaudible: "He is destined to be a lonely man. Whether it is family affection or love between men and women, he is destined to be a lonely star in his life. What has changed? He shouldn't be here..."

In the carriage returning to the palace, Lan Qingwu was held tightly in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor. Lan Qingwu was worried: "Is the master going to say something about me again... Your Majesty, I'm a little scared. Why are these masters staring at me?"

What she didn't say was whether the master would think that she shouldn't be around the emperor. After all, someone like her would be considered a monster.

The Shenwu Emperor hugged her even tighter, "Don't worry, I will keep you by my side forever!" No matter what Master Kuku saw or what he had to say, he wouldn't give him the chance to speak. As for Ruo Ruo, she was a treasure gifted to him by heaven, a treasure he had lost and found again. He would never let her go. As the Emperor of Dasheng, he supported and protected this world, and this was the reward he deserved!

The six palaces began to gather in groups of three or four to go to Fengxian Hall to offer final prayers for the late emperor, indicating that this March is about to end, but it is destined to be a turbulent March.

In the Fengxian Hall, Lan Qingwu silently recited the scriptures, bowed three times devoutly, and then was helped up by Ruping and walked out of the hall.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she was stopped by Xie Hua, the chief palace maid of Concubine Xie. She bowed deeply and said with a smile, "Your servant greets Concubine Yi. Concubine Xie invites you."

Lan Qingwu had already rejected Concubine Xie's invitation twice, but she still refused to give up. Could it be that the continuation of the Xie family's glory was based on suppressing the daughters of military families? What a ridiculous logic!

Ru Ping quickly replied, "Master, it's time to take your medicine now."

Lan Qingwu looked at Xie Hua coldly and said, "I won't go to Heyao Palace. Please tell Concubine Xie."

Xie Hua's expression remained unchanged, still smiling slightly. "Noble Lady Yi, you've already declined twice. This time, the ladies are praying for the late emperor, so it's not right for you to refuse again."

Lan Qingwu couldn't help but frown. He was borrowing the late emperor's name again, but it was hard to refuse. Xie Hua had already bowed and stepped aside: "Please come in!"

Lan Qingwu came to Heyao Palace again. As soon as she entered the hall, she felt the atmosphere was stagnant. A beauty stood in front of her seat with a stiff face, not moving. There were more concubines in the hall than the last time she was there, including Concubine Qi who never left the palace, the two Noble Ladies Su, Concubine Li, the new favorite Concubine Liu, the timid Concubine Fang, and even the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Yang, who had always lived in seclusion. According to Ruping, she and her son depended on Concubine Chen.

Lan Qingwu calmly paid his respects to Concubine Xie, Concubine Yang and Concubine Qi. As the host, Concubine Xie still sat in the first seat, while Concubine Yang and Concubine Qi sat on her left and right.

Lan Qingwu sat down in his seat and heard the people around him whispering, "This Han Meiren, the daughter of a military commander, dares to talk back to Concubine Xie."
