"I didn't see it." Shang Qi held up the teacup to cover up the embarrassment of lying, and speaking seriously, he had never lied to Shang Lan since he was a child.

"You lied to me." Shang Lan didn't believe it.

Shang Qi knew that the more Shang Lan said, the more he didn't believe it: "Believe it or not."

Seeing this, Shang Lan's heart was shaken: "Really?"

Shang Qi rolled his eyes: "What's the benefit of me telling you."

Only then did Shang Lan start to frown all the time: "Then I don't worry, if you want to watch it together, or don't watch it at all."

Concubine Nian couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you guys, let someone who doesn't know to listen to your conversation think that you two brothers are robbing that good girl."

The two brothers came out of Qiwu Palace with blushing faces, making people wonder if something happened.

After they left, Concubine Nian ordered everyone to clean up, and took Bique and Bell out for a walk.

Bique: "Your Majesty is very happy today."

Ling Dang answered: "Your Highness the Seventh and His Highness the Eleventh are so filial, how can your empress be unhappy?"

Bique didn't understand.

Nian Guifei's words solved her doubts: "The two of them knew that I was unhappy because of Mugui, so they talked with me one after the other to make me happy."

"So that's how it is." Bique suddenly realized.

Looking at the sky above the high wall: "It is a gift from heaven that I can have these two sons."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs hadn't produced Qi Ling's mask for a long time, so Shang Qi went to press him immediately when he had time.

The father-in-law in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs choked his smoky throat, wondering: "Your Highness, you don't know something, it's going to be cold soon, and the winter clothes of the ladies in the palaces have to be made, especially the imperial concubine, you also know Yes, the empress's body can't stand the cold, and the emperor also specially ordered to make some furs for Mr. Mugui, we're going to be very busy here, Mr. Qi, can you give me a few more days?"

Shang Qi vetoed it straight away: "No, don't you want Qi Ling not to go out, it will suffocate to death."

The father-in-law in charge was also in a dilemma. After explaining what was in hand, he led Shang Qi to the warehouse: "Your Highness, how about a compromise?"

"Tell me." Shang Qi is not the kind of person who makes things difficult for his servants.

The father-in-law opened the storeroom door and invited him in: "There are masks in the storeroom, but the styles and materials are different. Why don't you pick one from the storeroom first, and Mr. Qi will use it for a few days. It's ready here, and the old slave immediately trotted to give it to you." Mr. Qi sent it."

Something is better than nothing, and this is the best way right now.

Shang Qi picked up the box for a long time before he chose a mask with a simple and generous style, but the holes in the eyes couldn't cover it at all.

It seems that I have to go to Siyifang to find an embroiderer to help.

After coming out of Siyifang, it was almost time for dinner, Shang Qi thought about walking faster, so that he could catch up with Qi Ling for a hot meal.

Zhuang Zifu was afraid that someone would trouble Qi Ling while he was away, so he didn't go to class for the past few days and stayed at home every day. When Shang Qi came, he was still hesitating whether to let him stay for dinner.

Qi Ling said from behind the door: "His Royal Highness Zifu, Shang Qi, he has already met."

This made him reluctantly open the door and let Shang Qi in.

After dinner, Shang Qi took out the mask to Qi Ling: "Try it, the House of Internal Affairs is still rushing all kinds of winter clothes and masks for concubines and princes, it may be later, you first put them on." Just wear Dai Dai."

Shang Qi said this very embarrassingly, it was something he ordered to go on, but now he is procrastinating again and again.

Qi Ling tried it on, and it was quite suitable: "It's okay, since you are busy, don't cause trouble, this is very good."

Anyway, the two people here have seen their true faces, and Qi Ling didn't bother to put on a mask. Shang Qi was really not used to Qi Ling who didn't wear a mask: "It feels weird to get along with you like this all of a sudden."

"Are you so ugly?" Qi Ling propped his chin with his hands.

Shang Qi just wanted to say that you are so beautiful, but when he caught sight of Qi Ling, if you dare to say that, I will beat you to death, and he immediately changed his words: "With your appearance, how many girls will be fascinated when you go out, don't worry, don't worry, you're so flirtatious."

Aimu was punished but he lived in peace for a few months, except for pleasing Shang Jun or Shang Jun, the queen's people didn't notice anything unusual.

After tossing and tossing for so long, the palace suddenly burst into joy recently. When asked why, it turned out that the queen mother was coming back.

The Empress Dowager Xiyuan is a cold-faced and kind-hearted old lady. After the Empress started to control the affairs of the harem, she also devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha. On weekdays, she lived in a Buddhist temple in the suburbs of the city, and only came back when the New Year was approaching.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager, Shang Qi unconsciously thought of his only younger sister. Qi Ling and Zhuang Zifu had been here for so long, and it was the first time they knew that Shang Jun had a daughter.

Shang Lan boredly arranged the snacks in front of him in various shapes: "Of course there are, they were born by my concubine."

Still the child of Concubine Nian! ! !

Then how invisible is this princess in the palace? ? ?

Everyone in Xiyuan Kingdom knows that Lord Shang has fourteen children in total, and there is only one princess, who is the daughter of Concubine Nian, the fourteenth princess——Shang You.

But people in the world don't know that the fourteenth princess doesn't like the intrigue in the palace, so she worshiped a genius doctor early and traveled around with her master.

When it comes to this younger sister, Shang Qi is full of love: "She doesn't love the palace, she looks very much like the concubine mother when she was young, but the emperor can't hold her back and can only let her go."

"That's not true." Shang Lan loves to play, and he can't play with this younger sister: "The fourteenth sister is crazy about going out to play. I always write a letter when I think of it. I can't remember not seeing her for a year or so. information."

Zhuangzi was envious again: "Shang Jun agrees?"

Shang Qi said: "So what if you don't agree? Xiao You'er demolishes the house every three days and the palace every five days, who can stand her torment."

"Then her master has worked hard." Qi Ling was glad that he didn't meet this wayward princess.

Speaking of his master, Shang Qi felt that he was an expert: "Don't mention it, Xiao You'er's master's guide, even if there is a cliff over there, she will rush forward."

"Could it be that you have been fascinated?" Otherwise, how could a arrogant princess be obedient, Zhuangzi thought again.

Shang Lan pushed away the tired dim sum: "Isn't it just that I'm fascinated? Every time I write home letters, eight out of ten sentences are all about how powerful and powerful her master is. Even the emperor said that the two of them are so close to each other." It's a marriage letter."

Speaking of the marriage letter, Qi Ling glanced at Shang Qi thoughtfully.

Zhuang Zifu guessed Qi Ling's eyes just now: "Don't talk about this, the queen mother is coming back, what should Qi Ling and I need to pay attention to? Don't run into her old man in time."

Speaking of the queen mother, Shang Qi and Shang Lan don't know much about it. After all, the queen mother no longer lived in the palace when they were born. The only impression she had was that every year when she came back, Shang Qi thought about what the imperial concubine said in previous years: "Imperial Grandmother respects etiquette and dignity, but nothing else. Oh, by the way, Imperial Grandmother especially likes to go to theater."

Knowing that this is a good old man, Qi Ling and Zhuang Zifu felt relieved. Even if they were under the eaves, they didn't want to offend anyone.

On the day when the Queen Mother came back, Shang Jun even skipped the morning court, and took the concubine and prince to guard at the gate of the palace early.

Out of etiquette, Shang Qi could not stand with Qi Ling and the others.

After a long distance, I saw the carriage of the Empress Dowager, and Shang Jun took the Empress to meet him: "Welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace."

"Welcome the queen mother/grandmother/empress dowager back to the palace."

The Empress Dowager got off the carriage supported by the old mother, and nodded in satisfaction: "Get up, get up, the emperor, it's been another year, how is the palace?"

Ayimu squeezed away the concubine in front, and came to Shangjun's side in a fawning manner: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the palace is doing well under His Majesty's rule."

The queen mother frowned imperceptibly: "Queen, are all the concubines in the palace so rude?"

The queen made a look, making people pull Ayimu down: "It's because the concubine has neglected to discipline, the queen mother calms down."

Not only did Ayimu not go down, he also asked Shang Jun for help: "Your Majesty~"

Shang Jun was not happy with Ayimu's behavior at first, but when he heard her voice, his heart softened: "Queen, Mr. Mu comes from the Western Regions and is used to being unrestrained."

The obvious excuse made the queen mother even more dissatisfied. She didn't like to miss the imperial concubine before, because Shang Jun only loved her, but fortunately, the imperial concubine was educated and reasonable, and this old lady really hated this concubine Mu.

"Emperor." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

Maybe Shang Jun realized that his behavior was inappropriate, or maybe he just didn't want to have a dispute on the first day after the Queen Mother returned, so he said softly to Ayim, "Go back and stand up."

Back at the Empress Dowager's Fukang Palace, Mr. Shang accompanied the Empress Dowager to talk about the parents, and then went to deal with business.

Leave a group of concubines to give gifts to give gifts, and fight for children to fight for children.

The queen mother watched them do this every year, and she was already tired of it: "What can change in a year, that is, you spoil these children, and if you eat less meat, you will think the sky is falling."

"That's what the Empress Dowager taught me."

Queen Mother: "I heard that there are two children from Dongling Kingdom, where are they?"

Qi Ling and Zhuang Zifu stepped forward: "The Empress Dowager is safe."

They are really two iconic children. The queen mother said, "The one without the mask must be Zifu."

When his name was called, Zhuang Zifu was still a little apprehensive, and nodded: "Yes."

"The other one is Qi Ling, right? This face?" The queen mother didn't know about Qi Ling wearing a mask.

Qi Ling: "My face is really ugly. I'm afraid I will disturb the Queen Mother."

When talking about ugliness, Shang Qi burst out laughing, the voice was not loud, but Concubine Nian Guifei did hear it, and turned her head to stare at him.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the damaged face is a very sad thing, and she will be disgusted if she talks about matchmaking in the future: "Can it be cured?"

"Back to the queen mother, it's cured, it can't be cured." Qi Ling lowered his head, giving a very sad feeling.

The queen mother asked the old mother to bring a string of prayer beads, and Qi Ling waved: "Come on, come to Ai's house."

The queen mother hung the beads around Qi Ling's neck: "Buddha bless, everything goes well, health and longevity."

"The emperor's grandmother is eccentric, and the grandson also wants to." Shang Lan played Baolai, and Nian Guifei couldn't hold her back.

The Empress Dowager knows a thing or two about Shang Lan, and because of this, she has a little affection for Concubine Nian. The Empress Dowager asked with a smile: "The Ai family recites scriptures and prays day and night, and asks the Buddha to bless the grandson of the Ai family. How could you be biased?"

Shang Lan said: "The grandson doesn't even have the Buddhist beads given by the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager pointed at Shang Lan's nose: "How many strings of prayer beads does the imperial grandmother have, enough to give away how many grandchildren?"

"I don't know if I will give it to someone else's grandson, but if my grandson asks for it, the emperor's grandmother will definitely give it to me." Shang Qi stood where he was: Where does the confidence come from?

"Why?" The Queen Mother was curious.

In terms of academics, Shang Lan is not the best, but when it comes to people-pleasing skills, Shang Lan puts it second, and no one dares to say first: "The emperor's grandmother is as kind as Buddha, how can she make her grandson sad?"

This is the right place to praise: "Okay, okay, give it away, and the Ai family will send a bunch of good grandchildren from the Ai family."

After finishing the family talk, the queen began to report to the queen mother some major events in the palace this year, including the establishment of Shang Qi and Shang Lan's mansion.
