Chapter 85: The Heir (1)

"Changjue, this kid is fooling around, what kind of Yungui dance in the garden, and you are the difference between Yunmu and mud, you must not take it to heart, this palace will teach Changjue well, don't feel too wronged, this man, the cat is fishy, he always thinks that the outside is good, and when he is a few years older, he will understand, the outside is far less good than you."

This made the water chestnut smile bitterly, obviously Wei Changjue was wrong in this matter, but let Lan Yi bear it, although the queen's original intention was to relieve her daughter-in-law, but this kind of statement, if you change it to an ignorant person, it will only treat her badly as her husband's family.

Fortunately, Lan Yi was very sensible, and when she heard this, she just smiled and said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, Chang Jue has explained to me, about Yun Guiwu, I don't care about it now, and I won't care about it in the future, if someone talks about Prince Gong's Mansion in this matter, I will only stand on Chang Jue's side and say that they are not, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Look what a good boy." The queen sighed at the water chestnut, and then comforted Lan Yi and said, "You are very generous, at this point, this palace is not as good as you, if Changjue's child loses you, this palace will not spare him." ”

In this way, Wei Changjue took all the infamy in front of everyone, but it brought out Lanyi's magnanimous character, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went further. In the past, some people said that Lan Yi was jealous, and even the side concubines and concubines were unwilling to accept it, but now these people will only say that Lan Yi swallowed his anger, and he suffered a dumb loss after all.

Lan Yi doesn't care about any of that, but there are always people who are willing to rub salt into other people's wounds. After coming out of the Yang Palace, I happened to meet Mu Hesheng, who came to greet the queen with Pei Miaoqing. Originally, Pei Miaoqing's identity was not able to see the queen at all, but in order to show her noble identity in this vein, and in order to show off her youngest son in front of the queen, she urged Mu Hesheng to take her to Weiyang Palace, but Mu Hesheng was unwilling, but she had to do it.

At this moment, it is the end of November, Pei Miaoqing is about four months pregnant, and her stomach is not very obvious, but the posture of supporting her waist with her hands when she walks can already be seen to be a pregnant woman.

Seeing Lan Yi, Mu Hesheng looked a little embarrassed, made a flat salute, and said softly: "I haven't seen the third emperor's sister-in-law for a long time." ”

Lan Yi could hear the alienation in her tone, but she didn't complain about He Sheng at all, but felt a little sorry for her, she lost a little weight, stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, haven't you had a good rest and eaten well these times?" Look at your wrists, they're a little thinner. ”

Mu Hesheng seemed to have a sour nose, and there were tears in her eyes, but when she was about to say something, Pei Miaoqing stepped forward and saluted, "The concubine has seen Princess Gong." ”

Lan Yi said lightly: "You are pregnant, gold, so be flat." ”

Pei Miaoqing obviously remembered the previous hatred, and never mentioned the word "eldest sister", only looked at Mu Hesheng and said: "The princess is still in Weiyang Palace, there are concubines here to accompany Princess Gong to talk, and I won't delay you to say hello to the queen." ”

"I don't need to." Lan Yi said coldly, "I can just say a few words to He Sheng." ”

Pei Miaoqing smiled, but she didn't smile, "Princess Gong doesn't know, our princess doesn't like to talk to the living, and His Royal Highness often praises the princess for her stability, that's why it's so." ”

Lan Yi looked at Mu Hesheng, "The fourth brother and sister really think that I am a living person?" ”

Mu Hesheng bit his lip, and finally just said: "Of course the third sister-in-law is not a living person, but the mother concubine just said, come to Weiyang Palace and ask An not to be too rubbing, so as not to delay the queen mother's recuperation, I don't want to stay here." ”

Lan Yi stared at her for a long time, and saw Mu Hesheng bow his head in a panic, and suddenly realized a truth in his heart: no matter how much a person befriends others, no matter how much he tries to fish others out of the dire situation, it is useless, because the one who is in it may not want to come out at all.

"Even so, I also told the four imperial sisters in advance: the queen mother had fallen asleep before I just came out, as a junior, I should be filial, try not to disturb the elders, if you want to say goodbye, wait for the next time to come earlier." Lan Yi didn't realize that the coldness in these words was directed at his former best friend.

Mu Hesheng kept rejecting her, and at this time she was really distanced by Lan Yi, but there was only sadness in her eyes, but she still didn't say anything superfluous, just saluted, lowered her head and said: "Thank you for the reminder of the third emperor's sister-in-law, then wait for next time, we have nothing else to do, let's go back to Changfu Palace first." ”

Pei Miaoqing still wanted to go to Weiyang Palace, but Mu Hesheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in a low voice, "Let's go, don't lose the face of Yuwangfu", and she reluctantly left.

This incident made Lan Yi feel very bad, and she also kept a calm face after leaving the palace gate, but who knows, Fu Wushuang is not a one-way street, as soon as she arrived at the palace, Yu Tao led a house slave of the Pei family in and told her even worse news.

It turned out that Pei Gui was now gradually taking over the affairs of the military department, and he was very busy, and he was unable to control the children in the family at all, and Pei Zhiling was even more unattended after Aunt Bai's death, and he took the little gold and silver left by his mother to indulge more and more wantonly outside. Quarreling with others in Tianxiangyuan before, it was just a trivial matter, just last night, he actually ate wine and went to the gambling house to quarrel with others, smashing two tables, but behind the gambling house, is the emperor's brother Wei Yongyi.

Although Wei Yongyi has always been guarded by the emperor, and he doesn't even go out on weekdays, he is definitely a good hand at spending time on the ground, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling He tosses everything at home.

It's just tossing these, it's a lot of money, Wei Yongyi has no other way, just relying on this gambling house under his name, the emperor is happy to see his younger brother so ridiculous, thinking that he won't see him go out anyway, and he won't see him forming a party for personal gain, so he turns a blind eye to the act of accumulating money. All the powerful people also understand the doorway here, no one dares to make a mistake in Wei Yongyi's gambling house, only this Pei Zhiling is really spoiled by Aunt Bai, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and dares to go to him to make trouble.

Of course, he didn't catch any good fruits, the thugs in the gambling house walked sideways on this road, regardless of whether they were indiscriminate, and beat him hard, and when Pei Gui saw Pei Zhiling, who had a blue nose and swollen face, screaming like a pig and being helped back by Pei's house, the matter was already a big problem.

Pei Gui was almost angry with him, and he didn't have time to scold his son at the moment, so he prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wei Yongyi's palace overnight, but the people in the palace said that the prince had already fallen asleep, and he would talk about it tomorrow. Pei Gui could only go home, lock up his son first, worry all night, and early the next morning, he went again with an apology.

This time, Wei Yongyi saw him, and during the conversation, he was quite kind, but his words made Pei Gui break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm an idle prince, usually at home, in addition to having fun, is to tease my grandson, I know this child, it's not easy to raise, and your parents have reached this age, and there is no mother on the side to guide the child, doing something out of the ordinary, it is very normal. But there are so many nobles in this capital, I, the idle prince, am nothing, but there are always those who can be regarded as a character, if your son provokes them, it is not perfunctory to give some gifts, isn't this the truth? ”

Pei Gui felt the coldness behind him, and could only maintain the family style of the Pei family, and said earnestly: "I must teach the dog well when I go back, and I must not let him make such a mistake again, the prince is also a nobleman and a figure in Beijing, and his apology to you is definitely not perfunctory." ”

Wei Yongyi smiled "haha", patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are the emperor's brother's minister, I naturally don't really care about anything with you, just climb high and fall heavy, the more you are reused, the more you should not have a laggard, your child is still young, you can teach slowly, this little thing between us, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Pei Gui listened to his father talk about those things when the throne changed, and knew that after Wei Yongyi missed the dragon chair, he has always maintained a cautious and kind temperament, these words are indeed kind instructions, not sarcasm, and immediately bowed down and said: "Thank you for mentioning it, I am grateful for my humble duties, and I dare not forget it one day." ”

Such a courtesy was calmed down in the end, but in Pei's mansion, how to teach children after closing the door, these things are not over.

When Lan Yi received the news, Pei Gui had already slapped Pei Zhiling with his own hands, and he shouted some rebellious words, and he was so angry that his eyes were black and sat straight on the Taishi's chair, and the servant sent by Aunt Li said: "The master has not been in good health for the past two days, and he has stayed up all night for the eldest son's frequent anger, and the aunt means that if there is a good doctor, please find one for the princess to take a look at the master." ”

Lan Yi hated his teeth itching, and slapped him on the table next to him, "I did something wrong, just admit it, my father ran so hard for this bastard, he didn't have a trace of gratitude, and he was angry with his father like this, Aunt Li didn't let me play a few more boards?!" ”

The slave may have inherited the timidity of her master, Aunt Li, and said timidly: "Aunt said, she is also half a slave after all, and the eldest prince is the master of Pei's mansion, she only has the share of persuasion, how can she have the qualifications to add fuel to the fire." ”

Lan Yi sighed heavily, "That's it, if you take the words back, just say that my father is sick, I will go home tomorrow to see, I don't need to prepare anything, the family is the best to get along comfortably." ”

The slave took the order and left, and Lan Yi asked Ning Fu to pack up some good medicinal materials and come out, all of which were ginseng, astragalus and other things that invigorate blood and qi, and planned to bring them all back to replenish his father's body.

When Ning Fu brought the things over to Lan Yi to see, her heart moved again, and she said: "You go to the pharmacy and buy more angelica, safflower, and Chuanxiong, Ming'er will send these medicinal materials over and show them to the doctor, and use them if they can be used, even if they can't be used, they can also explore the tone of the people in the house." ”
