When An Lan woke her up, it was already bright. Lin Qingluan sat up and was still dazed for a moment before remembering to look at the traces on her side.

It looked like someone had been lying there, but the temperature had lost, so he probably left early.

Lin Qingluan lowered her eyes. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep with a stranger around her, but she didn't expect that not only did she fall asleep, she fell asleep very quickly and slept well.

Really...

She shook her head and stopped worrying about these things. As soon as she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she heard that the good concubine wanted to see her.

"Liangfei?" Lin Qingluan frowned. She had no personal relationship with the third concubine, and Liangfei was even more timid. How could she come so early in the morning?

She stood up and dressed: "Let her wait." She thought of something again and asked, "Is the eldest princess coming with you?"

"Yes, Concubine Liang is here with the eldest princess." Mu Tang responded.

Lin Qingluan nodded slightly: "Go and pick up a plate of fresh snacks and send them over. Don't get those that are easy to choke."

"Yes." Mu Tang turned around and got ready.

An Lan helped Lin Qingluan dress and wash herself. When she heard her arrangements for the eldest princess, she smiled and said, "The children are cute, and the master is still young. In two years, when his body is in good condition, he can also have a prince or princess."

"Ha." Lin Qingluan lowered her eyes and smiled. She didn't say anything. She just packed up and went to the main hall.

Liang Fei was a little uneasy and only sat on half a stool. The eldest princess was also led by her to sit there dully. The snacks on the table showed no sign of being moved.

Upon hearing the palace official's announcement of the imperial concubine's arrival, the good concubine stood up immediately, and the eldest princess she led also stood up in confusion. Both mother and daughter looked at the entrance of the palace.

When Lin Qingluan came in and saw Shangguan Yanglan, who had just turned five years old, she couldn't help but smile.

The five-year-old girl was fair and soft, with bulging cheeks like a mouse. Her big black and bright eyes blinked at her with some unconscious surprise and admiration.

In the past, the two of them only met at banquets, but the children were prone to illness and could not sit still for too long. The good concubine was afraid of offending Shangguan Lie, so she did not take the children to attend eight out of ten times.

Now, it’s the first time I’ve seen him since his rebirth.

After Lin Qingluan sat down, she waved her hand to Liang Fei to get up and sit down, and then asked Shangguan Yanglan: "Aren't the snacks delicious?"

"Yes, is it for me to eat?" The child was still a little surprised and embarrassed. Seeing Lin Qingluan nodding, he obediently said politely, "Thank you, noble mother."

"Eat, don't be restrained." After Lin Qingluan finished speaking, her tone became lighter when she looked at Concubine Liang again, "Concubine Liang came here early in the morning, but is there something wrong?"

"My concubine, I just want to thank the imperial concubine for the birthday gift she gave to the eldest princess..." Liang Fei said with an unconfident smile, "Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. She is a little person and not worthy of so many good things."

"What Concubine Liang said is wrong. The eldest princess is the emperor's eldest daughter and the first child in the palace. She can afford no matter how noble she is." Lin Qingluan said lightly.

The good concubine choked and her cheeks were a little red: "Yes, yes, my concubine made a mistake."

"There are very few children in the palace now. As the eldest princess is of the blood of the emperor, she is naturally noble. Even you and me, in ordinary people's homes, they are just concubines, not as good as the little master." Lin Qingluan made a joke, and it was a good one.

The concubine almost changed her face.

She waved her hand again: "Okay, what else can I do?"

The good concubine pursed her lips, and after a moment she said anxiously: "My concubine... My concubine..."

Lin Qingluan always acted vigorously and neatly. What he disliked the most was such a slimy person. He was a little unhappy at the moment, but he looked at the little face of the eldest princess moving as she took a piece of butterfly cake to eat.

, finally working out some patience: "How are you doing?"

"Your concubine, my concubine would like to borrow some money." The eldest princess suddenly spoke, with a clear childish voice, which made the good concubine blush instantly, and she almost pulled the handkerchief she was twisting to pieces.

Lin Qingluan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Borrow money?"

"Concubine..." The good concubine really had no choice. Normally she could go to the queen, but the queen had just given birth and the emperor was with her every day, so she didn't dare to go.

After thinking about it, everyone in the palace knew that the imperial concubine was wealthy and powerful, so the good concubine could only ask for help from Wan'an Palace.

But at this moment, Liang Fei was still submissive and did not dare to speak, but Lin Qingluan suddenly understood that Zhai Hanjing had not yet given birth at this time in her previous life, so Liang Fei thought that Liang Fei had begged the queen.

She looked at the eldest princess first, and then at the good concubine: "But is there something going on at mother's house?"

"My Majesty, your Majesty's guess is so accurate! It's my concubine's incompetent brother..." Concubine Liang stammered after finishing the scandalous story at home, and then looked at Lin Qingluan with some embarrassment, "My Majesty..."

"Gambling can't be changed for a while. Since your brother owes a thousand taels of silver, he will owe more in the future. How much more can you borrow for him?" Lin Qingluan was helpless. Liang Fei's father was also a third-rank imperial official in the past, but suddenly he suddenly

He died of illness, and now it seems that no male in the family can support him.

Now he is holding on to the good concubine to suck her blood. When the eldest princess grows up, won't he have to hold on to the eldest princess and not let her go?

She tapped her fingers on the table, and after a moment asked Liang Fei, who still looked a little unconvinced: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. I have a way. It just depends on whether Liang Fei is willing to let it go."

A quarter of an hour later, the concubine Liang left the Wan'an Palace with the banknotes and a lot of thanks. Lin Qingluan gave the plate of snacks to the eldest princess. The child's eyebrows curled up after eating, and he hugged the plate and thanked her.

"The good concubine is really ignorant. The master is willing to use our connections in the house to help her brother find a position in a large camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but she is unwilling. It's really..." An Lan whispered for Lin Qingluan, Lin Qingluan.

He just shook his head.

She was not afraid of being beaten or even having her legs broken when gambling, but when she entered the military camp and was drilled, she was worried that her younger brother wouldn't be able to bear it. Lin Qingluan didn't know what this good concubine was thinking.

Moreover, the concubine in the first palace was frugal in food and clothing, even deducting the princess's share and sending it out of the palace to her useless brother. Once Shangguan Lie knew about this, I am afraid that the good life of the good concubine would come to an end.

Lin Qingluan shook her head slightly. She had no other emotions besides feeling sorry for Shangguan Yanglan. Everyone had their own way to go, and she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.

It's just that Lin Qingluan will never see her again when the good concubine comes again.

In the afternoon, Lin Qingluan went to see the Queen Mother, and selected some good fox skins that Shangguan Lie had given her during the spring hunting and presented them to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very happy, holding Lin Qingluan's hand and praising her non-stop, and finally said: "Don't worry, the Ai family knows that those charming people have nothing to do with you. Your feelings for the emperor, the Ai family and the emperor have never

Suspect."

Lin Qingluan just lowered her eyes shyly, but there was only a sneer in her heart.

Of course her feelings for Shangguan Lie are sincere.

Suddenly, Lin Qingluan thought of her previous life again, of Shangguan Lie's domineering and gentleness when she proposed to marry her, and of his tender protection and careful care of her during her three-year mourning period.

I have to say that I really can’t blame her for being cheated. If it were any woman, treated like this by a high-ranking prince, she would lose her heart.

"If your concubine has some free time recently, why don't you accompany the Ai family to Xinmen Mountain to worship the Buddha?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "In three days' time it will be the auspicious birthday of the Buddha. The Ai family wants to go out for a walk, does the concubine want to come with us?"
