Chapter 456: Fold the lotus stalk and leave it unreleased

Because of the harmony in the harem, Lan Xin only felt that this period of time was extremely comfortable. The end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the end of autumn and the beginning of the east, it seems to be just a blink of an eye. If it weren't for the apricot blossoms in the far away that budd early, Lan Xin didn't even notice that in the spring of Qianlong's eighth year, he seemed to be unable to hold back his joy, and he came early before waiting for the spring to come.

And the so-called harem harmony is just that there are a lot of noises in the concubines. From top to bottom, many people have lost their edge, and there is a pure concubine Su as an example, who dares to easily be an enemy of the queen. Such a peace may be out of sincerity, or it may be for self-preservation, and there is only the queen's voice in the harem, which can be regarded as a quiet time.

It's not that Lan Xin is dictatorial and decisive, it's just that he has grown wise, and seeing that blind generosity and kindness can't offset the resentment of the harem, he shouldn't tolerate it anymore.

Just as he was thinking about it, the silver scissors in Lan Xin's hand slipped, snapped and fell to the ground.

Suo Lan hurried in, and when he saw the situation, he hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, bent down to cut it. "The mother was distracted, and the scissors fell off. Fortunately, he was not injured himself, otherwise the emperor would definitely be distressed. ”

"Flim Flam." When it comes to the emperor, Lan Xin really feels happy and wanton. Those gossips are not enough to believe, and the emperor treats himself more and more affectionately. "It's also the palace that has a distraction, and the window grille is not cut and the scissors are poured out."

Jin Lan followed and walked in, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the eldest brother has come to greet you." ”

"Yonghuang?" Lan Xin smiled slightly, with bright eyes and bright teeth, dignified and kind. "I haven't seen him in many days, please come in."

"Yes." Jinlan happily welcomed the eldest brother in, but he didn't follow.

When Yonghuang walked in, he saw that there was only Suo Lan beside the queen, and he couldn't help but be considerate: "The New Year's Festival is full of people everywhere, and it is noisy, and only Changchun Palace is the most quiet in the harem." The emperor likes to be quiet, and the ministers see the joyful seven sheep in the Changchun Palace, but they are not noisy, and they are really a paradise in the Forbidden City. ”

After finishing his words, he respectfully bowed, and said: "The son of the minister asks the emperor to say goodbye, and I wish the emperor a happy and prosperous life." ”

"Hurry up." Lan Xin said with a smile: "Changchun Palace is quiet, it's just that the palace will be idle, it's hard for you to like it too." I haven't seen you for a while, Yonghuang has already grown into a teenager, but what comes to the mind of the emperor is still what you looked like when you were a child. Come close, let the emperor take a good look. ”

"Yes." Yonghuang was respectful and affectionate, walked in front of the queen in a regular manner, and arched his hand again: "When the ministers saw that the emperor's mother was full of red light and her spirit was flying, she knew that the emperor's life in the palace was comfortable and smooth, and her heart was a lot more down-to-earth." Slowly lowering his head, Yonghuang's eyes flashed with a cool light of sorrow: "Since Eniang left, Huang Eniang has regarded Yonghuang as her own flesh and blood, and Yonghuang can only rely on Huang Eniang." Now seeing that the emperor's mother is happy and happy, the sons and daughters are really comfortable in their hearts. ”

When Lan Xin heard his words, her eyes couldn't help but fill with tears: "Concubine Zhe went early, and before the emperor ascended the throne, she died." In the end, it was a blessing and a bad fate, but you were only eight or nine years old at the time...... This palace naturally cherishes you, and your emperor Ama also keeps you in his heart at all times. Looking at it, you are the only adult elder brother under the knee of your emperor Ama. So Yonghuang, Huang Ama and Huang Eniang all have high hopes for you. Do you understand? ”

"Erchen understands." Yonghuang said this on his lips, but he had a lot of resentment towards the queen in his heart. The second elder brother Yonglian died young, and Yonghuang, who was the eldest son, really ignited a little hope. Thinking that he could finally attract the emperor's attention as the emperor's eldest son, who knew that the holy decree behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque in the Qianqing Palace was actually for the early death of the crown prince.

As the eldest son and the only adult elder brother, he failed to enter the emperor's eyes, how sad and lamentable. Fortunately, there is no Duanhui Crown Prince, fortunately!

Yonghuang was full of grief and indignation, but his face was extraordinarily astringent and sincere: "The emperor's mother is relieved, and the ministers know how to fight for anger, so that the emperor can worry." Erchen is not an example for the elder brothers, and he should be a brother to several royal brothers. I just hope that the emperor's mother can take good care of her body and add a little brother to the emperor as soon as possible. If so, it can be regarded as Yonghuang's wish fulfilled. ”

I didn't think that Yonghuang would think like this, Lan Xin's heart ached slightly. "Even if there is no Yonglian, the emperor still has you, and you have several younger brothers, which is enough. Seeing you so sensible and safe, Huang Eniang was relieved, and she would be happy if she knew about it. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, silent for a long time. Yonghuang counted the time and said solemnly: "As soon as the ministers entered the palace, they asked the emperor Ama to say goodbye, and then they came to see the emperor's mother. Estimating the hour, it is time to go to Cining Palace to greet the imperial grandmother. The retainers retired. ”

"Go ahead." Lan Xin smiled gently, her eyes full of care. "When you go out, remember to put on your silk clothes. The road in the Forbidden City is flat, and it is easiest to pour in the wind, so don't be frostbitten by the cold for a while. ”

"Thank you for your concern, and your sons will be careful." Since getting married, Yonghuang has rarely entered the palace and has never been reused by the emperor. This time when he entered the palace, he also wanted to find out what was going on. In the end, the emperor treats the queen, is it really as affectionate as rumored outside. And if the queen has no heirs, she will prefer who will become the successor to the throne.

After some observation, Yonghuang has realized that the emperor's treatment of the queen is really sincere. Just look at the objects in the Changchun Palace, although it is not the most expensive and luxurious, but it was ordered at that time, and even the Shu brocade curtain that was sent into the palace a few days ago, the emperor also gave it to the queen alone. With such a generous grace, wouldn't it be that the queen mother is taken to heart.

Suo Lan watched the eldest elder brother leave, and then sighed faintly: "Slave maid, look, the eldest elder brother is more like the emperor than the third elder brother." It's a pity that his mother went early, and the emperor has always been indifferent to him. It's hard for him to be so sensible. ”

Lan Xin also sighed: "This palace often thinks that if Concubine Zhe is still here, the emperor may care more about Yonghuang." It's hard for this child, what I've seen since I was a child is the dirtiest and dirtiest thing in this palace. When others were still coquettish in Eniang's arms, he had learned how to save his life.

Humility, courtesy, and caution, although there is nothing bad about it, but in the end it is the best of life. ”

"Isn't it?" Suo Lan pursed her lips and was happy: "The third elder brother of the pure concubine is the best example. At that time, he was raised in Chuxiu Palace, and the people who tossed Concubine Hui Gui Niangniang lost several pounds. Now that even the pure concubine is gone, and the third elder brother's unreasonable temperament doesn't know if it has changed. ”

Lan Xin didn't speak, just silently thought about her own thoughts, if her Yonglian was still at this time, would she also enter the palace early in the morning to say goodbye to herself. It's almost time for someone to be blessed.

Suo Lan saw Lan Xin's thoughts, sighed slightly, and then said with a smile on his face: "Niangniang doesn't know, the emperor ordered Li Yu to come over early in the morning and sent a lot of pastries of various colors, saying that they are commonly used during the folk Spring Festival, which is very delicious." Later, if the mother feels hungry, the slave will bring it to you to taste. ”

After all, it was a shallow smile, and Lan Xin didn't say anything else. He only lowered his head slowly.

"Mother, it's already boiled." Ding Lan mysteriously handed the medicine bowl to Concubine Chun's hand, looked around and saw that there was no one else, and then said softly: "The slave maid went to ask the imperial doctor, this is already the best, fastest and most effective prescription." ”

Su Wanrong frowned, pinched her nose, and poured it down in one go, not daring to stop. It's just that despite this, the bitter taste in her mouth is still difficult to suppress, and she chokes on retching. "This medicine is really hard to drink, but unfortunately I have to drink it, otherwise I will have no chance of winning."

Pinching her fingers, Su Wanrong couldn't believe that it would take more than half a year to live in this Cining Palace. For more than half a year, accompanying the Queen Mother to spend all her time in this grave that did not see the light of day, Su Wanrong only felt that she was about to lose it. Simply, the Queen Mother rarely makes things difficult for her, and she has nothing to do except serve soup and pour water all day long.

If you don't take advantage of this kung fu to take care of your body, how can you get a man and give birth to a child for the emperor. Su Wanrong thought about it again and again, if she wanted to leave this Cining Palace, there was no better and more convincing way.

"Is Big Brother here?" Sinking her heart slightly, Su Wanrong said uneasily. "If the eldest brother doesn't come, there will be many things that the palace can't do."

"The mother is relieved that the slave has already sent someone to investigate. The eldest brother asked the emperor and queen to say goodbye, so naturally he had to go to Cining Palace to greet the queen mother. Not only will the eldest elder brother come, but even the third elder brother will be able to come in a while. Niangniang has a lot to say to the third elder brother, so the slave maid will prepare a few packs of pastries and let the third elder brother take them back and eat them slowly. Fenglan knew that Concubine Chun was anxious, so she couldn't help but be relieved: "No matter how much Niangniang has to say, she has to tell the third elder brother slowly." So as not to be sad and uncomfortable with the third elder brother. ”

"This palace knows what to do." At this time, for Su Wanrong, it is much more important to see the eldest brother than to be able to see Yongzhang, because the eldest brother has a way to drag her out of the tomb of the living dead.

Sure enough, Feng Lan left for a while, and then he returned and brought the news that the eldest brother had entered Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Su Wanrong naturally couldn't sit still. She went with Fenglan in high spirits and stopped the eldest brother outside the gate of Cining Palace.

"Pure Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." Yonghuang saw that Concubine Chun was coming eagerly, and knew that she had something to say. But he came to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but he had nothing to do with Concubine Chun. Thinking like this, Yonghuang saluted and said, "Erchen has come to greet the imperial grandmother, and I will go with the pure mother, so as not to disturb the imperial grandmother." ”
