Da Fu Jin's gaze made Ba Fu Jin uncomfortable, and after the two were separated, she stood on the palace road for a long time, until the people around her urged her to not leave, and then she woke up, but said: "Let's also go to Yinghua Hall to have a look." ”

The maid hurriedly persuaded: "Fujin, don't you know, Yinghua Hall is not something that can be gone casually." ”

Bafujin was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words: "Then wait on the way back from the crown princess." ”

Here, the people of Yonghe Palace happened to come to Chuxiu Palace to deliver something to the noble concubine, and saw Bafujin wandering around there from a distance, and went back and passed it to his master, Lan Qi wondered: "What is there to see?" ”

Yu Kui responded: "The slave maid heard that the princess has been going to the Yinghua Hall every day to worship the incense, maybe she is waiting for the princess." ”

Lan Qi snorted, thinking in her heart, that day the concubine came to tell herself that she had warned her daughter-in-law not to stare at Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi knew that the intention of the concubine was to let herself be careful of Ba Fu Jin's gloomy personality, and the good concubine had reached the point where she wanted to warn her daughter-in-law in person, what did Ba Fu Jin think of herself? I don't know if this warning can be useful.

"Huanchun, you pass on my words......"

Lan Qi shouted casually, and everyone laughed: "The master is really inseparable from Sister Huanchun, but you can also look at us, we are no worse than Sister Huanchun." ”

joked, relieved of this embarrassment, but when it came to Huanchun, Lan Qi was worried about her daughter. Although Chengde is not thousands of miles away from the capital, the news can not arrive in a day, she waited day by day, but there was no news coming, but Xuan Ye's letters could be seen every few days, never stopped.

The emperor's birthday is March 18, but the date of the holy car's planned return trip is March 25, and in mid-February, Lan Qi received a letter, Xuan Ye said that the birthday banquet is exempt from the courtiers, and only a small gathering in the harem can be returned to Beijing.

And then there is a holy decree to the courtiers, and the same is true, and because the eldest brother followed his father's example of making a screen for the queen mother, and also concocted a screen to dedicate to his father, Xuan Ye specially told not to accept this gift, and asked the eldest brother to transcribe the "Longevity Without Borders" he wrote and give it to the emperor, although the eldest brother was not happy, he did not dare to show it, but it was originally very conspicuous and publicized in the congratulatory gifts prepared by the elder brothers, and it suddenly became the most embarrassing thing.

Two days after receiving the holy decree, the eldest brother entered the palace to show his mother the transcript he had prepared, a book bound in gold silk and red silk, and asked a famous calligrapher to copy it carefully. Could this be the idea of the old eight? ”

The eldest brother sneered and snorted: "The article was written by him, and he objected to it if I wanted to make a screen, saying that he would be happy to make a picture of the word shaft Emperor Amma, I didn't agree to think it was too shabby, and now he said it, how can I ask him again with a shy face?" ”

Concubine Hui sighed: "The eighth child really helps you, but you, your Ama has always been thrifty, and it is a must to be filial to the Queen Mother, and he will also move to Ningshou Palace, but to yourself, don't you see that the things used in the Qianqing Palace are rarely renovated?" You make such a golden and red book, and when he turns around, he asks you, how many silkworms do you need to raise and spit out how much silk can you get, can you answer? ”

The eldest brother was stunned, his face was full of unconvinced, and Concubine Hui persuaded: "Just find a clean book, and you can write it down one by one." ”

"My handwriting doesn't look good." The son retorted.

"That's your brainchild, too." Concubine Hui hated her for not being angry, so she took the bells and whistles book herself, and instructed her son, "You do what I say, you Ama just don't give a smile, and you will never say anything about you." If you get this thing and send it to you again, he will blame you for the screen, why shouldn't you learn from him to make a screen for the Queen Mother and get it for him again, how dare you Ama compare with the Queen Mother? Silly son. ”

Concubine Hui asked casually: "What gift did the eighth child prepare?" ”

The eldest brother shook his head and said he didn't know: "He is busy every day, Huang Ama seems to have promised him some errand to investigate, and it is mysterious, I guess I will know after a while when Huang Ama comes back." ”

Concubine Hui frowned, thinking carefully about the current situation in the court, what can be the secret investigation, could it be said that she wants to give the last blow to the people who remained in the big mansion that Sony earned? If this is the case, the emperor is going to kill them all, and he has never dealt with Mingzhu in the first place, and who will he go to next time if he is so ruthless?

However, except for the eighth elder brother who is busy with secret things, everyone else is carefully preparing the gift for the emperor's fiftieth birthday, although it has been clearly stated that there will be no big celebration, everyone's mind always has to confess to the emperor, Lan Qi pondered for several months and didn't think of what Yonghe Palace would send, that day Xiao Chen'er came to offer the treasure happily with the box, and said to her that Fu Ji had come all the way to send the congratulatory gift back first, so that the princess could prepare.

Inside the box, there are all kinds of colorful grains, even mung beans and red beans have several varieties, the boxy grid is divided into dozens of grids, as if it was prepared early in the morning, Xiao Chen'er said: "This is the grain from all over the country, many of us have not eaten, Fu Ji said let's give this box of grain to Huang Ama, let Huang Ama boil porridge and drink, and the grain grown on the land all over the country can be tasted, Eniang, is my family very hearted?" ”

Lan Qi looked at her daughter with a smile, Fu Ji can coax Xiao Chen'er so well, how can she be a heartless person, this gift Xuan Ye must like, and it is also something that a person like Fu Ji who walks outside can do, she wants to beg her daughter to give this gift to herself, but how can a mother snatch the child's things, she can only continue to worry, what to give Xuan Ye. During the Chinese New Year, he asked himself with a smile, it was perfunctory at that time, and how perfunctory it was when the days came to an end.

Xiao Chen'er really asked Eniang curiously: "What did Eniang prepare for Huang Ama?" ”

Lan Qi hadn't figured out how to speak, and when she was hesitating, there was a lot of excitement outside, and she heard a sentence, "Sister Huanchun, you're back." Lan Qi's heart jumped, why did she come back suddenly, and she didn't even say a word, could it be that something happened to her daughter, so she had to come back in person to tell her?

Xiao Chen'er saw that her mother's face had changed greatly, and asked what was wrong, just waiting for the spring breeze to come to her eyes, and saw her and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the slave is back." The expression on Eniang's face relaxed, although she still didn't understand why, but her mother was fine, and she was relieved.

Only waited for Xiao Chen'er to go back to Ningshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, Lan Qi broke away from others, and Huanchun gave a big gift to the mother, and congratulated her: "The princess gave birth safely and gave birth to a healthy female doll, and the slave maid originally planned to wait for the princess to come back after the confinement, but the princess said that she was worried that you were worried about it at home, and it would take a few days for the news to be sent south and then wait for the emperor to send it back, so let the slave maid come to tell her first." ”

Lan Qi burst into tears, thanked the gods and Buddhas, and hurriedly pulled Huanchun to his side to ask about the situation, Huanchun said that the princess has prepared a lot of experienced people to serve at any time, the princess gave birth very smoothly and almost did not suffer, the little doll was very much like the princess when she was a child, Huanchun sighed: "The slaves and maids are in a trance and feel that they have returned to the past, which is exactly the same as the princess." ”

Lan Qi sighed: "He prepares so many people, not afraid of arousing suspicion?" ”

Huanchun smiled embarrassedly: "When the slave maid went, the princess told people that the slave maid was her mother's aunt, and those people thought that the princess was the concubine raised by a dignitary in the outer house, and they didn't know that it was arranged by the emperor, let alone that the princess was a golden branch and jade leaf, anyway, there is everything in the house, you don't have to worry." ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "I can also think of it, their father and daughter really don't care about anything." ”

But when she learned that Wen Xian's mother and daughter were safe, she was satisfied, and she was waiting to go to Chengde to escape the summer and be able to hug her granddaughter with her own hands. But when she thinks of Wen Xian, she always thinks of Shun Anyan, these days, she heard that Shun Anyan has intimate contacts with Babeile Mansion in private.

Naturally, this is Shun Anyan's own business, but Lan Qi remembered that Xuan Ye once said that from now on, Shun Anyan would be allowed to do what he said, if it was Xuan Ye's meaning, she didn't understand, what did she want her son-in-law to do with the eighth elder brother?

Such a coincidence, the next day Fourteen Fujin came into the inner palace, took the prepared congratulatory gift to ask Lan Qi's advice, and said in a hurry: "Yinyu is in a bad mood these days, Erchen thought it was still for the southern tour, but he only heard him muttering the day before yesterday, saying that he saw Shun Anyan and Babeile together, and he said that he hated Shun Anyan for failing the imperial sister, and he didn't know how to deal with the eighth elder brother in the future." ”

Wanyan's temperament is not so delicate, and he doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, and he is distressed: "Eniang, Erchen doesn't know about the past, and I don't know how to persuade him." ”

Lan Qi could only comfort her daughter-in-law: "Between you husband and wife, you can say anything, but it is also a good thing that you understand his feelings." You really don't have to worry about this, he will figure it out for himself, and after a long time in the future, you will not be troubled if you understand his temper. ”

But after carrying the Fourteenth Fujin, Lan Qi had to worry, she didn't understand what the emperor was doing when he sent Shun Anyan to the Eighth Elder Brother, in case it wasn't what the emperor meant, could it be that Shun Anyan really hated his brother-in-law, and wanted to support others with the power of the Uncle's Mansion? It's just the days when Xuan Ye is not around, and this kind of thing comes out one after another.

On the same day, after nightfall, guests came to Babeile Mansion, and Shun Anyan came by hiding his whereabouts in the night, and handed over the two account books to the eighth elder brother. It was the evidence of the corruption of Suo Etu and his party that had been collected by Tong Guo's subordinates for many years, and he had not reported it to the emperor for many years, and he had always felt that it was out of place.

Yin Yu hurriedly turned a few pages, although he was happy in his heart, but his face was very serious, he wanted to take precautions, he didn't understand why the people in the uncle's mansion suddenly showed favor to him, and couldn't help but say: "How should I deal with you?" ”

Shun Anyan smiled sadly: "This is what grandfather meant, I understand that you were ordered to search for the Etu party, and grandfather said that if Babeile doesn't dislike it, use it." ”
