"It's true that I want to take you on a horseback, and I want to inquire about the Fifth Emperor Brother, and it's also true." Wei Changjue explained very seriously, for fear that Lan Yi would be unhappy, "At that time, I was not only stared at by my father and the emperor, but also stared at by countless pairs of eyes in the palace, Concubine Ying cursed me like crazy, I can't get close to the fifth emperor brother anyway." I am responsible for all the faults, but there is no way to find out the ins and outs of these things, and this feeling is like walking in the night with black eyes. So I'm going to keep trying to find out the truth. It's also luck to meet Xiao Xizi, and I can finally have a bottom in my heart about the death of the fifth emperor brother. ”

Lan Yi asked, "Then are you suspicious of the eldest brother now?" Remembering that she was questioned by Wei Changyuan by the bonfire before, only Wei Changqi stood up and said a few words for her, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Great Emperor, that person looks very friendly, it doesn't look like he would do something to mutilate his siblings." Of course, I know that some people look good on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are so bad, but the fifth emperor brother had fallen from his horse and was seriously injured at that time, and he died, which was not good for the eldest emperor brother. ”

Wei Changjue's eyes were illuminated by torches in the distance, and there was a faint light, "The benefit of this thing, you can't just look at the surface." Naturally, just Xiao Xizi said this, it can't explain anything, whether the eldest brother has anything to do with the death of the fifth emperor brother, we have to continue to investigate. Only when we find out clearly and understand their minds can we go from the light to the dark and quietly watch them on the stage. ”

Lan Yi nodded, "You're right, I'm just afraid that I will check on the eldest brother's side, and I will find the wrong direction and waste my energy and time, if you think clearly, I won't say more." ”

Wei Changjue said flatly: "Although the eldest brother is ostensibly influenced by Concubine He and has always been closer to me, he has never offended Wei Changyuan and Wei Changze, I don't dare to fully believe him, even if he looks like such a good person." ”

"It's so hard." Lan Yi sighed, "So what's the point of saying that the heavenly family is rich and rich, even between siblings have to be so guarded, is it possible that there are so many people, and no one is worth entrusting?" ”

Wei Changjue took out a hand and touched her hair, "The only ones who can be trusted among the brothers for the time being are the Nine Emperor Brothers, his mother Concubine Ke Niangniang is a good person, and the Nine Emperor Brothers are still young, so they are not tossing in this pool of troubled waters, what is the matter with you, the queen mother is weak and can't help, but she can take the door of the concubine, although she may not be able to see her father, but the door in the harem, she has also figured it out, and there is a prince by her side, and other idlers dare not snub her." ”

Lan Yi remembered that when she followed the queen before, after mentioning the emperor, Concubine Ke's face was gloomy, and she asked with some curiosity: "Isn't Concubine Ke not favored?" ”

Wei Changjue smiled and said, "You can see this? Indeed, the father and the emperor don't like the concubine very much, but fortunately, there are nine emperor brothers in front to help her fight, and occasionally the father and the emperor meet, and they can also have a few words with her, but most of the things like turning over the brand are not the turn. ”

Lan Yi said: "I see that Concubine Ke Niangniang is a gentle and petty person, and she is also beautiful, but my father doesn't like it, which is also strange." ”

Wei Changjue said: "Other people are going to be involved here. ”

It turns out that Concubine Ke is also a palace maid, and she did earn a night of favor because of her appearance, but in the emperor's harem, there are many such people, after being pampered, she casually agreed to it, and she was left behind.

But she was lucky to be pregnant with a dragon son, and she was often easy to be jealous, and there were rumors at that time that this concubine was going to follow the old path of Ying Guifei, and sooner or later she would become the emperor's top favorite, and she could compete with Ying Guifei. And Concubine Ying didn't care about the appearance of a little palace maid next to the emperor, but the rumors were poked in her heart, so she couldn't bear it, and suppressed Concubine Ke openly and secretly, if it weren't for the queen looking pitiful and helping her several times, Concubine Ke wouldn't have been able to give birth to the Nine Emperors alive at all.

It is also unfortunate that on the day the Nine Emperor Princes were born, an urgent report came from the border pass, saying that Beihu invaded the frontier in a big way, and won three towns in a row, and now it is approaching Fengling Pass, and it is necessary to send troops to rescue immediately.

The emperor dispatched troops and collected grain and grass everywhere, but he almost did not drive the royal army to collect it in person, and finally held Fengling Pass. However, Beihu is as fierce as a wolf, and does not flinch, this battle has been fought for a whole year, and it took great manpower and material resources to drive Beihu back to the grassland, and then recuperate for several years, Dashun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but today's national strength is not as good as when Emperor Pingjia was alive in the past. The emperor has always had a deep hatred for this battle.

Concubine Ying held this key and released a rumor in the harem that "Concubine Ke's mother and son are disaster stars".

The emperor originally didn't believe this, he couldn't bear the wind blowing next to Concubine Ying's pillow, and tossed the illusion that Concubine Ke framed him several times, and even counted the death of the eighth prince Wei Changhuan on her head.

It is said that at that time, Concubine Qi's eighth prince was not in good health, he was cold in the cold wind, had a high fever, and finally began to get better.

After checking and checking, it was finally found that the juice of poisonous weeds on that piece of clothing would cause children to festering and die if they were exposed to it for a long time.

In fact, Wei Changhuan was congenitally deficient, that high fever was enough to kill him, and the improvement was likely to be just a return to the light, and his skin did not festering when he died, obviously from the root, it was not the fault of Concubine Ke, but Concubine Qi's only son died, and the whole person was about to go crazy.

The emperor was so troubled that he couldn't stand it, and Concubine Ying stepped on her feet just right, so the emperor was really cold to Concubine Ke, punished her heavily, and almost went to the cold palace.

Fortunately, the queen has always known her character, and understands that a person who has no support from her mother's family and can't even get a reward for money can't bring these poisonous dirty things in from outside the palace.

The twists and turns here almost made Lan Yi dizzy, fortunately, I had learned from my grandmother what people to behave and what etiquette to meet before, and I still have some understanding of the concubines in the palace, so now I only draw out a line in the complicated story and ask: "I heard that the Nine Emperor Brothers grew up in Weiyang Palace?" ”

Wei Changjue nodded yes.

Because Concubine Ke's concubine was obtained a few years ago when she sealed the Sixth Palace, she couldn't raise the Nine Emperor Princes in person before, and she couldn't bear the child to fall into the hands of others, so she begged the queen.

The queen felt pitiful, and after several twists and turns, she finally raised the Nine Emperor Princes under her knees, but her body, it was difficult to take care of herself, where did she have the ability to raise another child, most of them were handed over to the nurse and other palace people. Fortunately, Wei Changjue was already sensible at that time, and often protected his younger brother, and when Wei Changshu was a little older, he also took reading and literacy, so that the Nine Emperor Princes looked at the queen and Wei Changjue, and they were even closer than their biological mothers.

Concubine Ke didn't care about this matter, she knew that the child was taught well, and she was very content with her biological mother in her heart. What's more, raising under the queen's knees can ensure that the child grows up safely, which is already God's mercy.

After saying these words, the horse had already walked leisurely to the front of the tent, Wei Changjue dismounted first, and then hugged Lan Yi down, and whispered: "Aunt Lingjiao didn't believe that Concubine Ke would be willing to compromise for so many years, so she specially let people watch by her side, and reported to her mother if there was any movement. I didn't expect that after such a year after year, she never caused trouble with others, and she was even more desperate for her mother, but whenever she could meet Changshu, she taught him to honor her mother and respect me, and it was not difficult to say that a person pretended to be a good person for a while, but 'pretending' to be a good person for so many years, it must be true. ”

Lan Yi didn't know that there were so many stories behind it, so she leaned over and sighed in her husband's ear: "In this place in the palace, eating people does not spit out bones, and Concubine Ke Niangniang also met the queen mother, otherwise I am afraid that now I am afraid that it is already a wisp of grievance in the forbidden city." ”

Wei Changjue waved his hand to keep everyone away, and said, "So unlike Concubine He and Concubine Ke, the eldest emperor brother and the ninth emperor brother will also be different." Although the mother's family behind the concubine has been somewhat decayed, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it can always support the eldest brother to fight for something, and the concubine will only struggle if she leaves her mother, not to mention that the Nine Emperor Brothers are her only hope for the rest of her life, and they are also the children I watched grow up, not saying anything in my eyes, and breaking bones and tendons with me, even if she really has a different heart, she will understand, moving me is moving the Nine Emperor Brothers. ”

Lan Yi sighed, "Even if it is a person like Concubine Ke Niangniang, you have to let people watch, and when you speak, there is also room for you, it can be seen that you who came out of Weiyang Palace, as well as Aunt Lingjiao, are all people who do not leak, we are so stupid, we will be calculated by you casually." ”

Seeing Wei Changjue's disgusted look, as if to say "hypocrisy or not", Lan Yi grinned, leaned over and said, "Don't say anything like 'watching the children grow up' in the future, it looks like how old you are." ”

Wei Changjue glanced at her, and suddenly became very improper, "I'm not old, don't you know?" ”

Lan Yi also shook his head deliberately, "I don't know, I think, what Tianxiangyuan, what girls leaning on the Red Mansion, maybe know." ”

Wei Changjue was angry, scooped her over, and read: "I see that you are itchy again, and you need me to loosen it for you." ”

Lan Yi hid with a smile, but how big the tent could be, and within a while, she was restrained by Wei Changjue, she was full of forgiveness, but Wei Changjue did not give up, and finally did not know how to loosen the flesh, in short, Lan Yi's laughter slowly turned into a whimper.

In this paddock, it is really different from the palace, and the people who have endured it for many days enjoy the affection and joy to the fullest, and they are very happy. Until the candle burned out, Ning Fu was embarrassed to go in and change it.

The next day, Wei Changjue left in good spirits, but Lan Yi took a long day off in front of her mother-in-law, and in this small paddock, everyone has no secrets, especially all the actions of the royal heirs, all of which are closely watched, the queen heard from the water chestnut mouth that Lan Yi did not come over because of that matter, and said happily: "They have a good relationship, maybe when they will get pregnant with a child, you have to help me keep an eye on it more, Lan Yi is still young, I don't know what it is like to be pregnant, in case I don't pay attention to hurt my grandson, I'm not going to be happy. ”

Water chestnut quipped: "Then you should quickly take care of your body, the princess said when she chatted with the slave maid before, if she can give birth to a little prince in her first child, and she is still looking forward to you to help with the belt, the princess said that you can raise a good man who behaves like His Royal Highness King Gong, and will definitely be able to bring out a good emperor and grandson who is gentle and pleasing again." ”

The queen was very happy, she liked to hear this kind of thing the most, and immediately said to the water chestnut: "Then you go and talk to Lan Yi, you don't have to come this afternoon, rest in the tent, I don't lack her here, I lack a little emperor grandson." ”

Not surprisingly, these words were brought to Lan Yi, which directly made her blush, and the little daughter-in-law glared at the people around her, anyway, it was definitely one of them who reported the matter to the queen, and when she faced the water chestnut again, she was still surprised, "Please bring it back to the queen mother, just say that I will get up early tomorrow and go over to serve, ask her to recuperate and rest well, and she will return to the palace the day after tomorrow, and the bumps in the carriage and horses are not a joke." ”

The water chestnut smiled, "The slave wrote it down." ”

As soon as the water chestnut left, Lan Yi dragged the smiling stamen in the room and asked, "Is it you, did you tell the queen mother?" ”

Ruihuayuan is also a person sent by the palace to serve closely, and after getting along for so long, she knew that Lan Yi was a paper tiger in front of them, so she smiled and said to forgive: "It's a slave, it's a slave, the princess forgives her sins, next time...... The slave still has to tell me. ”

"Yo, so bold, I'm going to punish you...... Punish you for being tickled by me. ”

She got up and started to do it, Ruihua laughed while hiding, panting and shouting, "The slave is guilty, the slave is wrong, princess, you, you start lightly, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it, ha, haha." ”

Ning Fu persuaded on the side, persuaded and persuaded, I don't know how to join the battle, everyone is in a mess, and there is a Yu Tao who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and shouts on the side, "The princess is more powerful."

In fact, Lan Yi also knew that it was impossible for the queen not to send someone to look at Prince Gong's mansion, and Ruihua admitted it so boldly, which showed that the queen did not intend to hide it from her. What's more, even people like Concubine Ke have to arrange for people to watch over them all the year round, how can her precious son leave it alone? Being the daughter-in-law of the emperor and empress, this matter is not a grievance at all, she can stand it.

It's just that in some things, after Lan Yi made trouble, he still has to mention a few words.
