Yuxi tearfully told her mother that she had long been aware of the secret fight between the Li family and the Song family, but the Song family was just a strong personality and did not really do anything evil, on the contrary, the Li family looked weak and quiet, but the city government was very deep. Yuxi was always careful in front of her, and she was wary of being calculated by her in her words, but the Song family was very arrogant, and it was strange not to follow her way.

Jue Luo was frightened when he heard this, and asked softly: "Can you tell Concubine De about this?" ”

Yuxi shook his head: "I don't dare." ”

Jue Luo said worriedly: "Although Niang Niang is in the deep palace, how much of her eyeliner is in this house, she either already knows but doesn't wear you, or she doesn't care about knowing, but if it goes on like this, there are more and more things, and when everyone knows about it outside, she can't hide it." E-Niang advises you, you can't hide it the first time, not to mention the loss of a child, you have an idea, if you don't have an idea, go tell Concubine De Niangniang, let her tell you what to do in the future. Although E-Niang is powerful at home, those women are also jealous of you, how can you calculate more things like your royal family? ”

As soon as her mother called, Yuxi didn't know how much she listened, she only knew that this time it was a disaster, she had no idea herself, and she didn't have an explanation for Yinzhen and her mother-in-law, she didn't even see the face of the child, God just didn't treat her like this, and he didn't even want to give her an adopted daughter?

Jue Luo sighed again: "I just went to Xiyuan for a walk, Li Fangfujin is polite and polite, Eniang is a person who has come over, I can see the complexion on her face and the spirit in her eyes, her body and bones are fine at all, at most the pregnant woman is a little uncomfortable, it can be seen that she is so deceitful, and she is really avoiding Song Gege to bite her." Yuxi, you have to pay attention, if this matter is not properly explained, the Song family is out of confinement, and he really rushes to the West Garden to make trouble, don't make trouble in Li's stomach again. ”

Yuxi's expression was shocked, and he said with a firm look in his eyes: "Then how can it be done, how can Li's fetus be saved, otherwise what will it be called, Yinzhen must make people laugh outside." As she spoke, she saw her mother looking at herself meaningfully and firmly, she retracted her gaze helplessly and timidly, and muttered, "I know, I'll enter the palace another day." ”

As the night deepened, it was inconvenient for Luo to stay in the fourth elder brother's mansion for a long time, and he heard that the little girl who came to the newspaper said that the fourth elder brother had left the imperial city gate, so he also prepared a sedan chair, placed his daughter to sleep, and left in a hurry.

And at this moment in the Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace has a family banquet, the father and son are happy, it is rare to eat so happily at a meal, except for the fifteen elder brothers in the Qixiang Palace, they can not come to accompany the driver, from the prince, the eldest brother to the fourteenth elder brother, thirteen children, only the sixth elder brother is missing, looking at the newly married fifth elder brother is full of spirit, if Yinzuo is still there, it should be married.

Xuan Ye naturally felt sorry for Lan Qi, dispersed the family banquet and stayed in the warm pavilion to sober up a little, then took a warm sedan chair to Yonghe Palace, did not send anyone to stand in front of the station, and suddenly came, Lan Qi was waiting for the two lively little ancestors, the shouting of thirteen and fourteen could be heard outside the door, Xuan Ye listened to Yinyu smile as soon as he entered the door: "Eniang, Huang Ama said that when I grow up, take me to the grassland to hunt, and then sit on the ground and burn the fire to roast the sheep, drink well, and don't get drunk and don't return." ”

He approached his son's house, but heard Lan Qi say, "When you grow up, won't Ama Eniang add years?" Wine hurts a lot, it is right to accompany Amma to hunt, drinking is not allowed, which of you dares to make Amma drunk, just wait for me to clean you up. ”

The two sons were chattering, Xuan Ye couldn't hear it clearly outside, and motioned to the people below to tell the mother that he was coming, so he went straight to Lan Qi's house, resting crookedly on the warm kang, hearing the hurried footsteps outside, and seeing the wicker figure walk in, but Lan Qi was not in a hurry to find herself, but looked at her desk with all her heart.

Xuan Ye glanced at her, didn't notice anything strange, but smiled and said, "What good things are you hiding, are you afraid that I will see it first?" ”

Lan Qi hurriedly came back to her senses, and saw that the emperor was dressed thickly and crooked on the kang, and came up to untie Xuan Ye's coat familiarly, complaining that he didn't know how hot or cold, and that the room was so warm that he didn't know how to take off two pieces, and Xuan Ye blamed her for moving here from her son's house so thin, and said: "It's just these few times that are not careful, and they are the most likely to catch a cold." ”

Lan Qi frowned and said: "The emperor said that after a few efforts by the concubines, he will undress himself, and he has to worry about others." ”

Xuan Ye deliberately grimaced: "I can't say anything about you, if you don't serve me, who are you waiting for?" ”

Lan Qi was shocked by this, and stepped back with the clothes in her hand, and bent her knees on the ground while saluting and pleading, which made Xuan Ye annoy her: "I am teasing you, do you have to be serious?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sins." Lan Qi said solemnly, "I have one thing to tell you, not a joke, not to be angry with you. ”

"Then get up and say, though it's warm in the house, it's still cold on the ground." Xuan Ye got up as he spoke, picked her up, and asked gently, "What's the matter that makes you so nervous, Yinzhen?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head, put down her clothes, walked towards the bookcase, and told Xuan Ye the origin of the letter, and carefully pulled out the letter from under the Yuzhen ruler, the yellowed and brittle paper was soaked with the traces of time, she held it to Xuan Ye with both hands, and said solemnly: "The concubine doesn't know that it is a letter to the emperor, and there is inevitably something wrong flowing out of the palace, so she opened the letter first and looked at it, but when she saw the first few sentences of the letter, she didn't dare to look down, and the concubine only knew that it was a letter from Concubine Wen to the emperor, and she didn't know what was said in the letter." ”

Xuan Ye took it casually, disappreroving: "How could I not believe you?" As he spoke, he opened the letter.

Lan Qi stood aside, not knowing what to think in her mind, Xuan Ye had already spoken: "This is not the concubine's letter, it is her sister's." ”

"The Queen?"

"See for yourself."

Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye in a daze, noncommittal, but Xuan Ye stuffed the letter into her hand, and said with a calm expression: "Look, it's nothing." ”

She answered softly, and carefully picked up the letterhead, Xuan Ye stood beside her with a candle, and her eyes suddenly became much brighter, and when she looked at the first few words of the letter again, her heart was still beating suddenly.

The letter said: "Long live the enlightenment, the concubine Niu Hulu is headed. The Mid-Autumn Festival is full of moon, thousands of lights are lit, and I don't know where to start with a thousand words at the end of the pen. Today, I was given a Western table clock, which is really the beloved thing of the saint, and the grace of the saint is vast, and the concubine is afraid. After five years in the palace, there was no heir under his knees, but fortunately, he was cared for in every way, and Save the concubine was a little thin, during which all kinds of joys, sorrows, and ups and downs became unforgettable memories. However, all the voices and horses withdrew, the night was quiet, sitting alone and listening to the clock, dripping into the heart, condensing in all kinds of fear, repenting for five years, but empty of holy grace, speechless tears. ”

"The Niu Hulu family has been inherited by the emperor for several generations, and at the moment, the power leans towards the government and the opposition and despises the imperial power. The concubine is in the king's side and cares about the family, it is disloyal, and it is unfilial piety to know that the ambition of the clan is difficult to tolerate in the world. Disloyal and unfilial, still have to live with sincerity and meticulous care, the concubines are so frightened that they are uneasy day and night, and today they have an epiphany on the way to serve the king, and regret not being at the beginning. ”

"From now on, the king will be the most important, the husband first, the Niu Hulu clan has become a thing of the past, and the concubines are only concubines of Yikun Palace. Rashly submit a letter, foul language is afraid of polluting the saint, but the heart of the concubine loyal to the monarch can be learned, the meaning of the monarch can be expressed by the sun and the moon, the words are limited, the concubine is willing to serve the monarch with her body, and hope to come to Yikun Palace and listen to the concubine's heart. ”

At the place of payment, Lan Qi couldn't help but read out: "Concubine Yikun Palace Zhao, pause again." The words fell, and for some reason his heart was so painful that tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, Xuan Ye stood aside and asked with a smile, "What are you crying about?" ”

She raised her teary eyes and looked at Xuan Ye, her hands trembled slightly, and she choked up: "This is a letter from Empress Xiaozhao, Your Majesty, Niangniang, she ......"

Xuan Ye smiled indifferently, put down the candle, pulled Lan Qi to sit down on the couch, wiped away her tears with all kinds of distress, and said with a bow: "It's her letter, this is also her handwriting, I recognize it." But I haven't seen this letter, and you can see that the envelope is blank, which shows that she didn't send it to me after writing this letter. ”

"It was written when the emperor rewarded Empress Xiaozhao's Western table clock?"

"In the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I rewarded her with a Western clock, and she was very happy." Xuan Ye said calmly, "But Hui Guiren was pregnant that year, and the Hui Guiren at that time were different from now, when they were young, they were considerate, gentle and understanding, and they served me very much according to my wishes, and I have always been jealous of the Niu Hulu family. The letter was an exaggeration, I didn't treat her so well, I rewarded her with a Western clock that day, and it was also the emperor's grandmother who asked me not to be too cold Yikun Palace, but she was very happy, she probably thought that I had changed my mind, but ......"

Lan Qi pinched the letter and said nothing, but the tears couldn't be stopped, Xuan Ye panicked, took the letter from her hand and put it aside, and said solemnly: "What are you sad about, do you think I am a negative person?" ”

She shook her head: "Why do you call the emperor like people who don't like it." ”

"Isn't that what it takes? Don't cry. ”

"The concubine didn't cry, her tears fell by herself." Lan Qi had sadness in her eyes, and said to him, "If Niangniang had handed you this letter, you and Niangniang Bing had relieved each other's grievances, maybe she would have been less depressed in her early years, and she would not have hurt her body and die young, in the years when Niangniang served the palace, even if she had no feelings for you, she was worthy of the dignity and hard work of the harem, and the concubines and concubines assisted in the sixth palace in the past few years, and they understood how much effort Niangniang had spent, but why didn't she give you the letter, could it be that Dongyun intercepted it?" ”

Xuan Ye shook his head and said: "You said that the letter was hidden in the secret compartment of the jewelry box, maybe the jewelry box was a relic of the queen, Dong Yun inadvertently received it by her side, she may not know that there is this letter, if she intercepted it, it should be destroyed, what to keep it for?" Maybe after she wrote the letter that night, she found that I had recruited someone else, or went to visit the pregnant Hui Guiren, or some pressure on her at home, so she put the letter away, and she didn't show it to me after all. ”

Lan Qi's expression was fixed, and he actually said the words that had been hidden for more than ten years: "If you give the letter to the emperor in the morning, why leave that sentence, why don't you see you again in the next life?" ”
