The time for the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet is getting closer and closer, Wen Wanrong found that Brother Ying was not as lively and active as before recently, she guessed what the old lady said to the child, but when she asked in private, Brother Ying just lowered her little head and didn't say anything.

Wen Wanrong touched Brother Ying'er's head and sighed slightly.

Although Brother Ying is small, he can understand and see everything that happens in the world, he followed Wen Wanrong out of the house, silently followed behind, walked under the porch, until he was close to the courtyard door, and suddenly stretched out his chubby little hand and grabbed a lake blue pleated skirt in front of him.

Wen Wanrong was stunned, turned around and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Brother Ying let go of his hand, didn't look over, and moved a small step to the side without saying a word.

Wen Wanrong squatted down, grabbed her chubby little arm, took it into her arms, and continued to say softly: "Have something to say to my mother?" ”

Brother Ying opened her big watery eyes, looked at her very innocently, hesitated for a while, and asked timidly: "Mother, are we going to die?" ”

A four-year-old child, mentioning such heavy words, Wen Wanrong was stunned at first, and then vigorously hugged Ying Ge'er into her arms, patted her back, and subconsciously blurted out: "Don't be afraid, with my mother protecting you, we will not die." ”

Brother Ying believed it and said "um", and prepared for the worst: "Mother, if Brother Ying has something, will it affect my sister?" ”

The last sentence pierced Wen Wanrong's heart like a spike, she felt sorry for her child, she was involved in the smoke of war at a young age, talking about life and death, and remembering her closest family and playmates.

She had a sore nose and tears surging in her eyes, but she held the child and tried to calm down: "No, Brother Ying, don't think about it, your father and mother won't let you have anything, and no one can hurt you in the slightest." ”

Brother Ying leaned on her shoulder, and his voice revealed worry: "My sister is the same?" ”

Wen Wanrong replied categorically: "Yes." ”

She thought she couldn't cry, at least not in front of her children.

The child is already afraid, if even the adults show their weak side, the wound in Brother Ying'er's heart may always be a wound and will never get better.

Ying Ge'er was extremely sensitive, hugged Wen Wanrong's neck tightly, as if penetrating everything, and asked, "Mother, are you crying?" ”

Wen Wanrong quickly wiped her face, took a deep breath, calmed down, and laughed: "I didn't cry." ”

As she spoke, she let go of Brother Ying and stroked her soft hair one by one: "Brother Ying is so brave. How can my mother lose. ”

Ying Ge'er's eyes lit up, and then he threw himself into her arms, and called "Mother" softly and glutinously.

There seem to be a thousand words that cannot be spoken, and all the dependence, trust, and belonging are all contained in this one word.

The child speaks and does things intuitively, as simple as a blank piece of paper, imprinted in Wen Wanrong's eyes and engraved into her heart.

She thought that this Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, no matter how dangerous it was, she would do her best to protect Brother Ying.

Whoever is the adopted son......

The Mid-Autumn Palace banquet was set at the end of Shen Shi, which was originally a good day for the festival reunion, but it was like a great enemy for Wen Wanrong's family of three.

Qin Yang had a tense face from the moment he got into the carriage, and he didn't say anything all the way, Brother Ying was a little afraid of him, and squeezed around Wen Wanrong, so well-behaved that he was like two people in the usual state of fighting chicken blood.

Wen Wanrong put her arms around Brother Ying'er's shoulders, lowered her head and pulled the corners of her royal blue clothes, and said slowly: "Have you memorized all the rules?" ”

Ying Ge'er raised his little face and nodded seriously.

Wen Wanrong smiled lovingly. was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qin Yang: "Brother Ying, come here." ”

Ying Ge'er looked at Qin Yang again.

Wen Wanrong pushed him: "Daddy told you, go quickly." ”

Brother Ying slipped down from the chair very obediently, walked to Qin Yang and stood with his hands behind his back, and respectfully called "Daddy".

Qin Yang lifted it with one hand, hugged the child to his lap and sat down, as if admonishing, as if warning: "After entering the palace, no matter what you see, you can only follow your mother to hear it?" ”

Ying Ge'er raised his head, stared at his jaw, and obediently said that he knew.

Wen Wanrong whispered to Qin Yang: "Don't scare the child. ”

Qin Yang sighed impatiently: "When will it be protected?" ”

Wen Wanrong didn't speak.

Qin Yang held Brother Ying'er's little belly with one hand and asked in a deep voice, "Did my great-grandmother tell you?" ”

Ying Ge'er lowered his head, snapped his fingers back and forth, and nodded for a while: "I said." ”

"Okay, I'll add a few more words." Qin Yang continued in an unserious tone, "Brother Ying. Tonight, I, your mother, great-grandmother, Sasa's life is in your hands, if you are willful, not only us, but also your biological mother Peony will die, yes, you will die, do you understand? ”

In the last two sentences, he accentuated his tone.

Brother Ying'er's eyes widened, obviously understanding, but he didn't speak.

Wen Wanrong remembered what the child said in the yard a few days ago, and couldn't help but scold: "Good end, what are you doing in front of the child?!" Naturally, what my grandmother could say was that she said, do you have to go straight and think about other people's feelings? ”

Qin Yang told her to shut up and turned her gaze: "What do you know?!" Sooner or later, he will have to face life and death. ”

Wen Wanrong understood what he meant, and her tone softened: "But isn't he still more than ten years away from being sixteen?" ”

Qin Yang was in a bad mood, and his tone was not good: "Do you want to sharpen your gun and kill him?!" ”

Wen Wanrong was speechless for a while.

There was a sudden silence in the small carriage.

Wen Wanrong saw Brother Ying'er's mood change. Like a frosted eggplant, he sat on Qin Yang's lap with his wilted head down, not crying, not making trouble, not speaking, and motionless.

Then her eyes subconsciously turned to Qin Yang, she thought that he really didn't care, but found that he was staring at the top of Ying Ge'er's head, sighing silently.

Wen Wanrong also sighed, sighing secretly.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet responded to the emperor's idea and was extremely grand and lively.

Originally, it was only a family banquet, but when Wen Wanrong and Qin Yang got off the carriage, they glanced at the endless carriages of various prefectures outside the noon gate, and were slightly stunned.

Song Zhi's eyes were sharp, he saw them first, and ran over to say hello.

He touched Brother Ying'er's head, and asked Wen Wanrong for some reason: "Why is the stinky boy here?" What about Sasa? ”

Wen Wanrong Zhengse said, Sassa is too small, and she loves to make trouble, and there will be more opportunities to enter the palace in the future, so she won't bring it out this time.

Song Zhi didn't have a child who didn't understand this, Wen Wanrong said whatever she wanted, and then picked up Brother Ying and teased him.

"Little fat man, your father said that you are a lot heavier, it seems to be true."

Brother Ying pouted, turned his head, and was unhappy and silent.

Qin Yang asked Song Zhi to pay attention when he spoke: "You called the little fat man?" Are you his own father? ”

Song Zhi returned Brother Ying to Wen Wanrong, and said inexplicably: "Eat gunpowder!" Talking so chokingly. ”

Wen Wanrong pulled Song Zhi's sleeve and explained in a low voice: "He's in a bad mood today, don't care." ”

Song Zhijing was very fine, he glanced at Brother Ying'er, and he understood a little, so he leaned next to Wen Wanrong, and said in a low voice: "If you encounter any trouble in a while, just call me." ”

Wen Wanrong thanked her, stopped Qin Yang again, and relayed Song Zhi's words.

Qin Yang's expression was slightly gloomy, and he called Song Zhi to the front to speak, the two of them had very small voices, and Wen Wanrong couldn't really hear it when she followed behind, but looking at the shape of her mouth, it seemed that she was discussing Yanmen Pass.

What are internal worries and what are external troubles?

Wen Wanrong glanced at Brother Ying'er, and thought that she didn't know when Qin Yang would go to Yanmen Pass, so she sighed silently for no reason.

Whether it is a fight or a bloody battle, it is like a pile of black ash in the Langyang Society, which still does not affect the splendid palace that is as bright as day, and the prosperity that seems to be the prosperity of the country and the people.

All the ladies who participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet competed with each other, brocade clothes, beads and emeralds, rings and clanging, Wen Wanrong was no exception, just looking at this ukiyo-e, she held Brother Ying tightly, standing outside the lively corridor, and suddenly couldn't move.

For a moment, she looked at all kinds of people, and the shadows of the glass octagonal lanterns shining on the palace wall, and what she saw was not a human figure, but all kinds of monster figures, moving forward in a mighty way, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

"Mother." Yingge'er's small voice pulled back her thoughts.

Wen Wanrong lowered her head, tried to squeeze out a smile, and asked what was wrong?

Ying Ge'er pointed in Qin Yang's direction and reminded: "Daddy is waiting for us in front." ”

Xing Wen Wanrong's face was not good, Qin Yang came against the flow of people, picked up Brother Ying with one hand, grabbed Wen Wanrong's arm with the other, and whispered: "Don't be stunned, go quickly." ”

Wen Wanrong followed behind, looking at Brother Ying'er's demeanor of relying on Qin Yang, and looking at his straight back, Qi Er felt at ease.

He would protect them, she thought.

Because of the large number of people at the palace banquet, the venue was arranged in the Fubi Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and when all the guests were seated, the imperial dining room began to serve all kinds of dishes.

Wen Wanrong and Qin Yang sat closer to the Queen Mother, and Brother Ying sat quietly between the two.

The old lady of Renshou Palace has sharp eyes. Leaned over to the Queen Mother's ear and said a few words, then got up and walked in front of Wen Wanrong, Fuli smiled: "Princess Wanyi, the Queen Mother wants to see the child." ”

Ying Ge'er instinctively grabbed the corner of Wen Wanrong's clothes.

Wen Wanrong patted him on the back quietly, got up and took Brother Ying'er's hand, and said that there was a hard time.

Ying Ge'er probably knew that he couldn't hide, looked up at Wen Wanrong, and then turned his head to look at Qin Yang.

Qin Yang waved his hand at him, smiled, and said it was okay.

Ying Ge'er turned back step by step, and seemed to leave Qin Yang's protection range, and became an isolated little chick to be slaughtered.

Wen Wanrong saw the child's emotions in her eyes, pinched her little hand, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, my mother is by your side." ”

Ying Ge'er retracted her gaze, looked up at Wen Wanrong, and pursed her mouth.

"Qin Ying greets the emperor's grandmother and wishes the emperor's mother a long life." Brother Ying bowed in style, his forehead was close to the back of his hand, and he spoke in a milky voice.

When the queen mother saw that the child was well-behaved and understood the rules, she showed distressed and loving eyes, and said to the grandmother next to her: "It's cold on the ground, don't let the child kneel, hurry, hurry, get up and show the mourning family." ”

Wen Wanrong rushed to help the child up before the grandmother came over, and reminded softly: "The emperor's grandmother likes Brother Ying'er, I want to see Brother Ying'er." ”

Ying Ge'er immediately ran two steps, knelt beside the Queen Mother's legs, raised and fell with her little fists, and raised her head to please: "Brother Ying beat the legs of the Empress Dowager's grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect that the half-grown child would not recognize his life, and he would change flowers to please the elders, so she was naturally happy, touched Brother Ying'er's ears and temples, and said fondly: "How old is Brother Ying this year?" ”

Brother Ying raised her hand, stretched out four thick and short fat fingers, and replied clearly: "If you go back to the Emperor's grandmother, Brother Ying will be four years old next month." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly realized "oh", praised the child for his cleverness, and continued to ask: "Why is Brother Ying here today?" What about the county lord's sister? ”

Brother Ying blinked, turned her head to look at Wen Wanrong, turned her head again, and told the truth: "Mother said that my sister wants to sleep, and she will cry when she sleeps, and it will be bad if she makes noise to the emperor's grandmother." ”

"I was afraid that I would make a noise to mourn the family, so I didn't let my sister come." The Queen Mother smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, pulled up the child, and handed over a piece of cake.

Wen Wanrong reminded on the side: "Brother Ying'er, thank the Empress Grandma quickly." ”

Ying Ge'er took the cake with both hands, bowed and said thank you.

The Queen Mother loved it very much, and said vigorously: "Our little Ying brother is really painful." ”

The old lady on the side observed her words, gave Wen Wanrong a look, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little boy is in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it is better to leave the child to accompany the Queen Mother more, and the old slave will send the child over in a while." ”

The Queen Mother wants to leave Brother Ying alone.

Wen Wanrong was stunned for a moment, couldn't figure out what it meant, and cautiously refused: "The child is small and ignorant, and I'm afraid of disturbing the imperial grandmother, so I'll take it back directly." ”

"The mourning family sees that Brother Ying is very sensible, and you teach well." The Queen Mother spoke, although she did not say it explicitly, but her words revealed that she wanted to keep the child.

Wen Wanrong's heart sank, she didn't say anything more on her face, she was blessed, and only said to Brother Ying'er: "Don't be naughty at the emperor's grandmother, do you hear?" ”

Ying Ge'er ate the cake in his mouth and nodded vigorously.

Wen Wanrong reluctantly returned to her seat alone, Qin Yang glanced at the Queen Mother's seat, and then looked at her: "Why do you leave the child over there?" ”

Wen Wanrong shook her head lightly: "I want to bring it back, but the Queen Mother said she liked it, so she could only stay." ”

Qin Yang straightened up, as if he had no intention of glancing at Brother Ying'er, and frowned slightly.

Wen Wanrong patted his hand and approached to comfort: "We should believe Brother Ying'er, he performed very well just now, the Queen Mother likes it or not, I can see that she really likes children." ”

Qin Yang listened and didn't speak, but it happened that other officials came over to greet him, and Wen Wanrong stayed with him, and the topic stopped.

The two of them socialized for a while, their faces were about to stiffen with laughter, and Concubine Qi Shufei sat down early and observed them quietly for a long time.

The palace maid who was waiting on the side took the opportunity to add tea and whispered: "Niangniang, Princess Wanyi's child, at first glance, was born by a peony." ”

Concubine Qi Shu picked up the teacup without squinting, blew it, and said the opposite: "What's the matter, don't you see that the Queen Mother likes her old man so much?" ”

The palace maid said boldly: "The queen mother, can't she see the problem?" ”

Before the words fell, Concubine Qi Shufei cast a cold gaze and lowered her voice to reprimand: "Presumptuous!" ”

The palace maid hurriedly lowered her head and stepped aside.

Concubine Qi Shu's thoughts, the Queen Mother couldn't see it, she had been in the palace for a long time. Knowing too much about the methods in the palace and keeping the children by your side is the best way to protect them.

Even if someone is poisoned halfway, who dares to go down to the Queen Mother's bowl.

After thinking for a moment, Concubine Qi Shu's gaze fell on Wen Wanrong again, and she sneered in her heart, the Queen Mother is not an ordinary pampering Princess Wanyi.

The so-called "love house and Wu", as long as Wen Wanrong treats her well and beloved, the Queen Mother will support her indiscriminately.

It's just that this world is not the queen mother's world......

Concubine Qi lowered her eyes, covering the look of disgust in her eyes, and Dan Ko's white fingers lightly circled the edge of the teacup, and raised her eyes again, looking at the biological mother of the eighth prince not far from her.

The extremes of things must be reversed, and the moon is profitable, Concubine Qi Shufei was once favored by the emperor for a while, and became the target of everyone, but now she is out of favor, as long as she is a little low and small, she will soon be able to find the alliance camp.

She threw an olive branch to the biological mother of the eighth prince, and concocted the same method against the peony: "Now, I envy my sister very much, I have a child by my side, unlike me, I look at you on my knees, I am afraid that I will die of old age in the palace and no one cares." ”

The Eighth Prince and Brother Ying are of the same age.

As the prince's biological mother, she spoke confidently: "My sister was persecuted by the Du family, otherwise she has a child by her side now, the emperor doesn't say it, he hurts his sister in his heart, and his sister is not sad." ”

The emperor loves her?

Concubine Qi wanted to laugh when she heard this, the emperor really loved that she would be hooked away by Youling?

She deliberately darkened her expression and waved her hand gently: "My sister is comforting, and my sister understands it." Does my sister know who is serving in the Bohol Hall every day? ”

The biological mother of the eighth prince flattened her mouth: "Who else can it be, a lowly and high-ranking lady, this palace wants to see how long she can accompany the emperor." ”

Since she shared the same hatred and hatred, Concubine Qi Shu didn't hide it anymore, her index finger was hidden in her sleeve, and she pointed in the direction of the Queen Mother, raising the corners of her mouth meaningfully: "Sister, look at who the child next to the Queen Mother is." ”

The biological mother of the eighth prince looked at the past, stunned, and opened her eyes in disbelief: "This, this ......"

Without waiting for her to come out, Concubine Qi Shu interrupted and introduced: "Sister, that's Qin Yuma's adopted son." ”

When it comes to this, if you don't break it, everyone knows it.

The biological mother of the eighth prince took a sip and snorted coldly: "Shameless fox!" ”

After a pause, he reacted and asked, "Does the emperor know?" ”

Concubine Qi Shufei played a dumb riddle: "Maybe I'll know it today." ”

"In other words, the emperor has been in the dark?" The biological mother of the eighth prince was extremely disgusted, "If you want me to say, this kind of woman should sink into the pond to feed the fish, so as to save herself from harming people everywhere." ”

"What my sister said is very true." Concubine Qi Shu pretended to sigh, and asked the palace maid to serve an extra cup of tea, "In the past, my sister didn't understand the rules and offended my sisters, and my sister replaced wine with tea, and I apologize." ”

The biological mother of the eighth prince had no intention of catching the handle of the peony, and it was too late to be happy, so naturally regardless of the previous suspicions, she and Concubine Qi Shu called each other sisters, and they were intimate.

Because the emperor has not arrived for a long time, they talked to each other during the banquet, greeted each other, and were full of interest.

Wen Wanrong didn't dare to be careless, she stared at Brother Ying on one end, and found that Concubine Qi Shufei and the biological mother of the Eighth Prince had been whispering for a long time, and she was faintly uneasy.

She thought about what it meant to start the banquet for a while, so she hurried back home with the child.

Even if the queen mother takes care of her, it is still difficult for the emperor to dodge.

Then she found Qin Yang's figure in the crowd, saw that he and Song Zhi were having a good time talking with several ministers, got up and went to the Queen Mother's side, thinking of trying to bring Brother Ying'er back.

Brother Ying behaved flawlessly in front of the Queen Mother, and although the Queen Mother was reluctant, she still let him go back.

Just waiting to leave, the old woman bent down and approached. He whispered: "Queen Mother, this child and old slave look like ......"

The Queen Mother raised her hand quietly and interrupted: "Today is a day of Mid-Autumn Festival, don't say anything to spoil the fun." ”

The old lady replied.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and continued: "Do you think that the mourning family doesn't know Concubine Qi Shu's thoughts, but you know the reason for it at first glance when you see the child from the mourning family." ”

The old lady said worriedly: "The old slave is worried, what should Princess Wanyi do if she is embarrassed by Concubine Qi Shu?" ”

The Queen Mother put the teacup on the table and covered it with a tea lid: "If you care about this matter, it will be messy, and the emperor will make his own judgment." ”

The old lady didn't say much, and when she got up, she briefly met Wen Wanrong's eyes.

Wen Wanrong understood the meaning, and everything waited and watched.

She can probably guess what the queen mother means, the palm of her hand is the emperor, the emperor pampers a good lady with an unscrupulous private life every night, which is immoral and detrimental to the royal dignity, and the back of her hand is her own princess in distress, because of the unfair treatment she has suffered in the Wen Mansion for ten years, the queen mother can almost make up for the shortcomings.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and the Queen Mother is biased towards everyone. simply have a high posture of children and grandchildren, do not speak, do not express their position.

Fortunately, Brother Ying is indeed loved by the Queen Mother, so that she will not have one more obstacle.

Wen Wanrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, touched Brother Ying'er's head, lowered her head and asked, "What did the Empress Dowager's grandmother tell you just now?" ”

Ying Ge'er shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I just asked Ying Ge'er what he liked to eat, and he took it himself." ”

Wen Wanrong laughed: "Did you take it?" ”

Ying Ge'er continued to shake his head: "Great-grandmother said that the things of the elders in the palace should not be taken indiscriminately. ”

"Brother Ying is so obedient." Wen Wanrong sat down on her lap and said, "Great-grandmother is right, tell my mother what you want to eat, and we'll go back and ask the small kitchen to make it." ”

Brother Ying'er is a child, and when he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately smiled, raised his head and said hello.

Wen Wanrong touched his forehead, and touched the vest to see if she was sweating, only to feel that the darker the sky was, the cooler the wind, and asked Brother Ying if it was cold.

Brother Ying said that he was not cold, so he wanted to pee.

Wen Wanrong took him out for a little relief, and on the way back, she heard melodious music from the Fubi Pavilion from a distance.

Brother Ying hurriedly took Wen Wanrong's hand, quickened her pace, and shouted: "Mother! The palace feast has begun! Let's go back quickly, or Daddy will be unhappy when he waits alone. ”

Even children know that Qin Yang hates waiting for others, Wen Wanrong smiled, and responded with her mouth: "Don't worry, don't worry, you tell Daddy why you went in a while, he won't be angry with you." ”

Brother Ying pouted and twisted her chubby little body: "That's not good, Daddy is not angry, just call Brother Ying a little fat man, Brother Ying is not a little fat person, he has said it many times, and he doesn't listen." ”

Wen Wanrong wanted to laugh when she heard this, and her face was serious: "Well, it's not right for Daddy to call you like this, my mother must say him, but Daddy likes you, so he calls you that." ”

Brother Ying continued to twist her little body and muttered, "But Brother Ying doesn't like it." ”

Wen Wanrong squatted down, patted the folds of his clothes with a smile, and was about to speak, when she found that Ying Ge'er was staring at a certain place behind her, she looked at it along the line of sight, frowned, and subconsciously pulled Ying Ge'er's hand.

"Concubine Lan Xi, please give Princess Wanyi a greeting."

Lan Xi Concubine?!

Wen Wanrong was stunned, it turned out that Peony's surname was Lan?

Kelan ......

She didn't have time to think about it, and she felt that Brother Ying was going to get rid of herself and rush out.

Wen Wanrong caught a glimpse of the palace maid beside Peony, pulled back Brother Ying'er, and her voice suddenly rose: "Naughty again!" Forgot what Daddy said?! ”

She stopped drinking, not to stop children, but to stop adults.

Peony stood still and did not move.

Brother Ying'er's tears swirled in his eyes, he glanced at the peony, then looked at Wen Wanrong, sniffed, tried not to cry, don't say goodbye: "Brother Ying knows that it's wrong." ”

When the child said that he knew his mistake, Peony's eyes were filled with great sadness.

Wen Wanrong glared at her very dissatisfied, and said coldly to the palace maid next to her: "Where is the imperial uncle?" This father-in-law wants to tell the emperor's uncle, and he doesn't even pay attention to the prince, is he pampered and arrogant! ”

When the accompanying palace maid heard that she was going to tell the emperor, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please also ask the princess to spare her life, forgive the slaves and maids for being clumsy and not recognizing the little prince." ”

There are also clever ones, quickly pull the corner of the peony's skirt, kneel on the ground and turn around, and calm the matter: "Concubine Niangniang, let's go quickly, the emperor is waiting for you in the Fubi Pavilion!" ”

Raising the "emperor", presumably the princess will not embarrass the concubine no matter how angry she is.

Sure enough, Wen Wanrong was very displeased, glanced at Peony up and down, and pulled Brother Ying away without saying a word.

But when he walked to the corner of the verandah, Brother Ying said that he would not leave anything, he almost begged to hug Wen Wanrong's thighs, and cried: "Mother, Brother Ying saw it, Brother Ying was obedient, so he went up to talk to his mother, no, if he said a word to the concubine Niangniang, would it be okay to say a word?" ”

Wen Wanrong didn't dare to relent, pulled the child down to a secluded place, and refused: "No, not a word." ”

Brother Ying didn't care, stretched out his fat index finger, continued to beg, and cried and twitched: "Mother, just one word, Brother Ying promises not to say much." ”

"What do you want to say?" Wen Wanrong squatted down, held his arm tightly, and said nervously, "Brother Ying'er, how did you promise your father in the carriage, have you forgotten?" ”

Brother Ying shook his head vigorously: "Brother Ying didn't forget." ”

Wen Wanrong asked again: "Do you want your father, mother, great-grandmother and sister Sa to die?" ”

Brother Ying still shook her head and said, "Brother Ying doesn't want to." ”

Wen Wanrong's tone was firm: "If you don't want to, wipe your tears, accompany your mother back, you can't talk to anyone, especially Concubine Lan, you know?" ”

Brother Ying wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and whispered, "Got it." ”

Wen Wanrong took out a handkerchief, wiped his tears for him, picked him up with great effort, supported his buttocks, hugged him tightly, and looked sad, as if he was saying it to a child, and like saying it to himself: "Brother Ying, you are the Qin family, you must have the heroism of the Qin family, even if you knock out your teeth, you have to swallow it." ”

Brother Ying nodded as if she understood or not.

Wen Wanrong desperately resisted the urge to cry, she spent so many days in anxiety, and every day when she opened her eyes, she felt the hardships of embattlement, but the peony appeared at this time.

She really wanted to ask someone to drag it down and beat her to death just now, but she said that she would not appear in front of Ying Ge'er again, and said that she would leave the child, why did she regret it?!

All of Ying Ge'er's actions are out of blood instinct, and it is effortless to destroy all her sincere efforts.

Isn't it sad?

Sad, of course.

But in the face of Ying Ge'er's pleading, a broken heart was put back together.

Wen Wanrong gritted her teeth. The mind must endure to the end.

"How did you get here?" A cold voice came from not far away.

Brother Ying did not hesitate to call "Daddy" and reached out to him to hug him.

Qin Yang took the child over, looked at Wen Wanrong's gloomy face, then looked at Brother Ying'er's red little red nose, patted her buttocks, and said with a smile: "Did you make your mother angry again?" ”

Ying Ge'er whispered no.

"Then why are you crying?" Qin Yang asked the child, and looked at Wen Wanrong on the side inexplicably, "Pee, and cry?" ”

Wen Wanrong was unhappy and turned her head away and was silent.

Qin Yang freed up a hand and hugged her: "What's wrong?" Wasn't it okay to come out just now? ”

Wen Wanrong glanced at Brother Ying'er and said vaguely: "Meet people you shouldn't meet." ”

"Who?" As soon as the words fell, Qin Yang reacted, and his expression sank, "Did Brother Ying say anything?" ”

Brother Ying knew that he had done something wrong, so he obediently lay on Qin Yang's shoulder and didn't say a word.

Wen Wanrong shook her head: "I took the child away." ”

Qin Yang sighed and turned to Brother Ying: "This is only this time, not an example." ”

Brother Ying hugged his neck tightly and said goodbye if he was wronged.

Wait for the three of them to return to their seats. Peony has already sat down next to the emperor.

Ying Ge'er didn't dare to look at Peony again from beginning to end, looking depressed, sitting between the two of them in a regular manner, one hand tightly grasping the corner of Wen Wanrong's clothes.

Peony deliberately avoided their gaze, and only smiled at the emperor, acting seamlessly.

It seems that the separation between mother and child is not a seat, but a chasm that can no longer be bridged.

Wen Wanrong remembered that Brother Ying copied the song "The Wanderer's Yin" in the mansion, she thought that Brother Ying didn't understand, but she had to accept the facts, and she didn't like to memorize poems the most, but this one was very ripe.

Brother Ying once asked simply: "Auntie, Brother Ying will be happy next time she recalls it to her mother?" ”

Wen Wanrong said yes.

She didn't lie to him, Peony must be happy, but at that time, Peony had already entered the palace, and probably never had a chance to hear her son recite "Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with Sanchunhui".

After Brother Ying changed her words, Wen Wanrong asked more than once, why didn't she want to recite "The Wanderer's Yin" to her mother?

Ying Ge'er was always silent for a moment, and then replied that he didn't know.

Wen Wanrong guessed that when he met Peony today, did he want to say: Mother, Brother Ying will recite "The Wanderer".

Or, why doesn't my mother want Brother Ying'er?

Either way, it's not what Wen Wanrong wants to hear.

When I came back to my senses, I don't know when Peony sat in the open space in the middle of the banquet, and the word card of the pipa "Water Tune Song Tou Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival" was sung gracefully, and the aftermath was lingering.

Only Wen Wanrong could hear the sadness hidden in the song.

Probably because of Ying Ge'er, Peony played abnormally, and the last piece of music was played off.

With a buzz, the strings were stained with blood red, and a drop of red beads rolled down from the peony's slender fingers.

The emperor hurriedly got up, helped the person back, and called the imperial doctor to come over and bandage it quickly.

Maybe the emperor's concern is too exaggerated, or maybe the other concubines have never been so favored.

The banquet suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Peony, but their expressions were very different, with jealousy and hatred. can only watch the two show their affection end.

The biological mother of the eighth prince and Concubine Qi Shu glanced at each other.

Just when nothing happened to everyone, a clear child's voice broke the surface calm.

"Wild Seed!"

Before everyone understood what was going on, they saw the figure of the Eighth Prince running to Wen Wanrong's seat, going around behind Brother Ying'er, grabbing him by the collar, and shouting: "Father! He's a wild seed! Not worthy of entering the palace! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's hearts were lifted again, and their eyes turned to the family of three in Qinfu.

Xiao Jing also looked over, his gaze swept over Brother Ying'er's face, and the corners of his mouth that had just risen immediately drooped.

"Concubine Lan, do you have something to say to me?" He stared at Brother Ying for a while, and his sharp gaze turned to Peony.

Peony immediately got up and knelt down and kowtowed, only saying that the concubine didn't know what the emperor meant, and please make it clear.

Everyone found that the emperor's face had changed, and the biological mother of the eighth prince hurriedly pulled the child back, kowtowed and apologized, saying that the child was childish.

Xiao Jing glanced at the peony kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the mother and son of the eighth prince who were also kneeling on the ground, and suddenly sneered: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous? The sage said that the son is not the fault of the godfather, do you blame me for not teaching the eighth prince well? ”

"Don't you dare?"

"Don't dare?" Xiao Jing shouted that someone was coming, pointed to the biological mother of the eighth prince and said, "Pull it down!" ”

The eighth prince knelt on the ground and trembled, Concubine Qi suddenly got up from her position, knelt next to the child, and pleaded: "The emperor is angry, and the concubines are willing to discipline the eighth prince and become an adult soon." ”

Xiao Jing didn't think about it, hmm, and waved his hand to go down.

Wen Wanrong's eyes widened, and without blinking, she watched Concubine Qi Shufei calmly and calmly lead the Eighth Prince back to the seat, and in addition to being surprised, she finally understood that she was underestimating the wrist of this Jingyang Palace master.

It is easy to take other people's children and raise them for themselves.

And the biological mother of the eighth prince unknowingly fell into the trap laid by Concubine Qi Shu, and waited for her to jump and fall to pieces.

Wen Wanrong subconsciously hugged Brother Ying beside her.

Since the emperor has discovered the secret of Brother Ying and Peony, there is a tendency to not give up until he makes it clear.

Peony knelt on the ground, did not raise his head, did not get up, and seemed to have a sharp turn for the worse in his relationship with the emperor.

Concubine Qi Shu's eyes showed a sense of revenge, and she looked at Wen Wanrong from time to time.

Wen Wanrong stared with bated breath, her heart rose to her throat, and she just waited for Peony to speak.

When Xiao Jing asked for the second time, she had something to say.

Peony insisted and had nothing to say.

Xiao Jing didn't ask a third time, only whispered a few words to the eunuchs accompanying him, and saw the eunuchs nodding a few times and shouting to the little eunuchs beside him: "Someone!" Concubine Lan, twenty cane punishments! ”

The fox Meizi was beaten, probably the most happy thing for the harem concubines and concubines in this Mid-Autumn Festival, and the one thing they are most willing to see.

In front of everyone's eyes, Peony was pressed to the ground, the thick cane hit the body with a muffled sound, and a groan of pain came out of his throat with extreme patience.

Wen Wanrong knew that the emperor was calling Brother Ying'er to see who surrendered first under capital punishment, their mother and son.

Qin Yang held the wine cup, as if he had no intention of crooking it to the side. Just blocked Ying Ge'er's sight.

You can't see it, you can hear it.

Wen Wanrong couldn't cover Ying Ge'er's ears with her hands.

Sure enough, the child couldn't bear it first.

Brother Ying ignored Wen Wanrong's objections, rushed to the open space, and the whole villain knelt down and bowed, kowtowed: "Qin Ying, please don't beat Lan Niangniang!" ”

The emperor was not annoyed, teasing a child, oh asked: "Why don't you fight?" Give me a reason. ”

Brother Ying didn't dare to raise his head, bowed his head to the ground, and said with a crying voice: "My mother often teaches Brother Ying that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Wen Wanrong was stunned, she had never said this, but the old lady often talked about it.

She didn't know what the old lady said to Brother Ying, but it could be seen from the past few days that Brother Ying had learned a lot and listened a lot.

In his small mind, a lot of things were forcibly stuffed.

Wen Wanrong couldn't stand it, and was about to get up, but was pulled by Qin Yang, he shook his head at her, put down the wine cup, got up and went over in person, blocked in front of Brother Ying'er, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and hugged his fists: "Your Majesty, the dog is rude, blame Weichen for teaching in a bad way, please punish the emperor." ”

The battle of Yankou Pass is waiting for him to command, and the emperor will naturally not punish Qin Yang for a childish saying.

Xiao Jing laughed and relieved: "Qin Aiqing's beloved son is heartfelt, I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, go down." ”

Qin Yang received the order, and heard Xiao Jing say again: "Concubine Lan, add another twenty." ”

Forty rods before and after, not to mention that an adult man can't stand it, according to the weak body of the peony, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

Qin Yang lowered his head and frowned, and went to help Brother Ying without saying a word, but he didn't expect Brother Ying to suddenly cry out of control, and shouted vigorously in his mouth, "Please let the emperor let go of the concubine."

The child cried, and the peony cried.

Wen Wanrong was afraid that Brother Ying would rush to Peony's side and say something that shouldn't be said.

She hurriedly left the table, picked up Brother Ying'er and was about to go back, when Concubine Qi's voice sounded behind her: "Your Majesty, the concubine is bold and arrogant." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"What do the concubines think, how similar do Concubine Lan and Princess Wanyi's little son look like?"

Xiao Jing's tail voice rose "oh": "What else do you see?" ”

Concubine Qi Shu shook her head very knowingly: "Xu is concubine has drunk too much, and her eyes are clumsy." ”

Xiao Jing ignored it, and asked Peony for the third time, is there anything to say?

Peony still shook her head.

Seeing that the battles were going on one after another, Peony's voice gradually became quieter.

Wen Wanrong hugged Brother Ying tightly and looked at the Queen Mother anxiously.

The queen took a sip of tea expressionlessly, put down the teacup, and slowly spoke: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion and celebration......"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden bang, and colorful fireworks exploded in the air, drowning out the voice of the Queen Mother.

No one heard what the Queen Mother said later, only saw her old man get up, supported by the old woman, and turned to leave.

Xiao Jing frowned, told people to stop, and asked the imperial doctor to hurry up and heal.

Just as a group of people were hurriedly lifting the peony aside, I don't know which palace maid screamed and shouted: "The concubine is red!" ”

Peony pregnant?

Everyone present was stunned, even Xiao Jing was stunned.
