After reviewing the minions handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Treasures Division, it was already noon. On the surface, it seems that someone has hands and feet that are not good at falling, and when replacing the new silk thread, the beads are not very broken, and there is no longer any need to ask about the side. As for the twentieth bead that came out, no matter what, I could find it.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not have such a precious red agate in stock, and even if it did, the records of entry and exit were clear. No matter how bold the minions are, they will not dare to have recklessness. What's more, there is no record of submitting the Sixth Palace, and there is no way to find out who threw it at the feet of Concubine Chun. What is certain is that the palace concubines present at that time were more or less suspicious.

Lan Xin sent the minions out of the palace in the usual way, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment. He also brought some medicinal herbs and supplements to Zhongcui Palace to visit Concubine Chun to appease him. The matter will be handled as an accident and will not be pursued.

After these things are done, Lan Xin can finally calm down and take a sip of tea. The delicacies sent by the imperial dining room were already cold, so Suo Lan and Jinlan had no choice but to order the little palace maids to heat them one by one, and then serve them again.

At that time, Lan Xin had no appetite to eat. "Just leave a few vegetarian dishes for the palace, and you can serve the rest and divide it." Rubbing her eyebrows, which were slightly sore due to the tightness, she gently looked at the exquisite palace food in front of her, but she didn't feel any comfort.

Jin Lan looked at the queen's face and said slowly: "Niangniang, Xianglian just sent a message to say that the second elder brother has returned." ”

"Yonglian is back?" Lan Xin's spirit suddenly lifted: "As soon as he left the palace, it was a few months, and he must have suffered a lot." Jinlan, you asked the small kitchen to prepare some glutinous rice dumplings and send them to Yonglian, he loves to eat this the most, and he was happy to see it. ”

"Good is good." Jinlan was a little unbearable, and the ruddy color of her cheeks was thinly covered with a little pale white: "You can let the slave and maid send it over, where will you send the queen mother over in person?" The slave guessed that the second elder brother must be thinking about your hard work. What's more, didn't the emperor already give Niangniang permission to go to see the second elder brother, the left is just a trip back and forth, it doesn't take much time, and it can't delay the second elder brother's schoolwork, Niangniang, you just go this way. ”

Lan Xin was a little moved by what she said, and even the dishes that were placed in front of her became tasteful. "Then let's go."

Suo Lan smiled and stopped the queen and said, "Niangniang, it will take time for the glutinous rice dumplings to be prepared, so why don't you order food first." The slave and maid will go and prepare. ”

Jinlan hurriedly picked up the long chopsticks and prepared dishes for Lan Xin: "Yes, Niangniang, if you don't eat something, how can you have the strength to talk to the second elder brother for a while." ”

"It's fine." On Lan Xin's face, it was rare to see such a gentle smile. From beginning to end, it is just Eniang's kindness to her young son, there is no restraint and no expectation, and the pure and pure pity for the child seems to be so valuable. It's just that Lan Xin didn't feel anything, most of the time, the more she loved Yonglian, the more harsh she became.

Yonglian looked out the window in a daze, this stop was a long time away.

He Huan, the nurse who was waiting closely, saw her thoughts, and quietly stepped forward: "The second elder brother is thinking about the queen's mother, right?" Only then did I go back to the palace, bathed and changed clothes, and didn't even bother to eat, so I stood by the window and looked forward to it for a long time. If you tell the queen mother, you will definitely blame the slave for not serving the second elder brother, making you hungry. ”

didn't look back, Yonglian only had a touch of sorrow, and said in a low voice: "Good nurse, you just let Yonglian watch it for a while." Maybe the emperor will come in a while. Xianglian, the nurse who served the eldest brother, had already gone to Changchun Palace to inform her, and the emperor knew that her sons would return to the palace today and would definitely come to see me. ”

This is very unconfident, Yonglian has never looked back, his eyes are staring directly at the window, and he doesn't feel hungry.

He Huan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he just brought a bowl of hot tits: "Second elder brother, let's drink some of this to cushion my stomach first, and then He Huan will prepare some exquisite snacks for you, which will be more delicious than the palace." ”

Yonglian didn't speak, nor did he pick up the hot tits, but muttered: "Big brother's clothes are really beautiful, I heard Xianglian say that they were made for him by the emperor's mother." Nurse, do you remember the last time the emperor sewed clothes for Yonglian, when was it? ”

These words made people feel sad to hear, He Huan turned around and put down the jade bowl in his hand, and replied seriously: "How can you not remember." The boots worn by the second elder brother, as well as the belt tied around his waist, and the tassel Yingluo hanging jade pendant, weren't they all sent to the palace by the queen's mother? The queen mother is the second elder brother's in-laws, and the most painful thing must be the second elder brother. ”

"Really?" Yonglian turned his face slightly, and a pair of inky eyes turned in anticipation: "Nurse, don't lie to me." The emperor rarely comes to see me, and even if she comes, she always goes to sit with the eldest brother. But if there is anything sent by me, there will always be the eldest brother and the third elder brother. Yonglian didn't notice any difference in the end. ”

In fact, this is only part of Yonglian's thoughts, if you want to talk about grievances, it really can't be said for a few days and nights. What is stuffed in his heart, in addition to the deep longing for the queen, is the bitterness that he has experienced over the years.

Whenever he sees the queen, Yonglian wants to ask if he is the son of the queen's relatives. Why is he always so harsh, and he is always unwilling to accompany him more, when the concubine was here in the past, although he also reprimanded the eldest brother, he was never as estranged as he was from the emperor.

The stomach gurgled and screamed, and Yonglian retracted his gaze slightly embarrassed: "Nanny, Yonglian is hungry, you go and prepare a meal." It seems that today, the emperor will not come. ”

What He Huan couldn't bear to see was the second elder brother like this, and she quickly nodded with a sour heart: "Then the slave is going now, second elder brother, please rest for a while." ”

"Third elder brother, don't run, beware of falling. The Third Elder Brother ...... Beware......" The silhouette led the two little eunuchs, and chased the third elder brother everywhere in a hurry.

It's that Yongzhang is the most unwilling to listen to the nurse, and he is only three years old, the most naughty age, where is he willing to be honest. ran around the elder brother several times, and while no one was paying attention, Yongzhang actually hid in Yonglian's wing.

"Yongzhang, are you naughty again?" Yonglian saw him running out of breath, and couldn't help but put on the appearance of his brother. "Don't run, look back and fall, and the palace people who take care of you will be punished again."

Stopping Yongzhang, Yonglian gently wiped the sweat beads from his face with his sleeve: "I haven't seen you for many months, Yongzhang, you are a lot taller." ”

"Second Brother." Yongzhang called crisply, but his little hand unconsciously held the jade pendant on Yonglian's waist: "This is good-looking, give it to me!" ”

As soon as Yonglian lowered his head, he found that Yongzhang was holding the tassel, and his little hand was extremely hard, and he was about to pull it down. "Yongzhang, let go, let go." Yonglian didn't feel sorry for the jade pendant, but because of Fang Cai Hehuan's words, he felt very sorry for this tassel. It was made up for him by the emperor's mother, and he was by his side every day and never separated.

Just like the kindness and care of the emperor's mother, Yonglian is reluctant to be touched, and he is even more unwilling to be damaged by Yongzhang's nonsense.

"Yongzhang, let go quickly, I'll take it, the jade pendant can be given to you, you let go." Yonglian was in a hurry, and made a lot of effort to break Yongzhang's little hand. It's Yongzhang's mischievous tightness, holding it harder and harder, and pulling it down desperately.

Neither of the two refused to submit to the other, but Yongzhang was only more than three years old after all, where was Yonglian's opponent. At first, Yonglian also took care of his young age and didn't really make much effort. But when Yonglian found that the tassels were loosely pulled by Yongzhang and almost fell off, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and forcibly broke Yongzhang's hand, pushing him to the ground with one force, and the person fell and cried on his back.

"Ah, Third Elder Brother, what's wrong with you?" Yongzhang's cry soon alarmed the nurse and the inner eunuch who were waiting for her. When people heard the sound, they saw the third elder brother lying on the ground, and a pool of red blood oozed from the back of his head.

Yonglian didn't know that he had made a big mistake, he just held the shapeless tassel very aggrieved, and cried silently. This is Huang Eniang's intention, and it is also his rare connection with Huang Eniang. In the end, he was messed up by Yongzhang, how could he not feel distressed. For him, the care of the emperor is the most precious thing.

"Hurry up and tell the pure concubine Niangniang, go and ask the imperial doctor." The silhouette eagerly picked up the crying Yongzhang, and glanced at Yonglian with grief and indignation, but he didn't dare to ask anything. After all, that is the flesh and blood of the queen's relatives, and she really dare not trespass as a slave.

But if she doesn't tell Concubine Chun about this matter, the prince will be injured, how can she bear the blame. With hatred in his heart, the silhouette couldn't hold his breath and yelled: "Where are the minions serving the second elder brother, how can you not stop the third elder brother from being injured." Look at me, I don't tell the pure concubine Niangniang to punish you severely. ”

This voice was extremely loud and shook Yonglian's heart. Only then did he realize that there was a pool of red blood on the ground, and Yongzhang, who was picked up, was still crying. The silhouette covered the back of his head between his fingers, and a touch of blush oozed out.

Yonglian immediately panicked, did he accidentally push Yongzhang down and knock his head down? Scared in his heart, Yonglian couldn't help but call the nurse loudly.

Unexpectedly, He Huan didn't hear the second elder brother's call, but Lan Xin heard it clearly, and he was shocked. Lan Xin took Suo Lan's hand and walked in quickly.

"Huang Eniang......" Yonglian's miserable white face revealed a blue-gray heart. He thought about the emperor's mother coming back, but he didn't expect it to be in such a situation. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but before he spoke, he already knew what the emperor would say. There are thousands of mistakes, it seems to be his fault, but he just thinks about Eniang, he just doesn't allow others to touch what Eniang gave him, what's wrong with that?

"Queen Mother, you came just in time." The silhouette choked up and said: "The second elder brother beat the third elder brother, you see, how can such a young child shoot so hard." Isn't this deliberately asking for the life of the third elder brother? ”
