Time is long, in the thirty-second year of Kangxi's wax month, when Sifu Jin followed Concubine De Niangniang to ask for peace in Ningshou Palace, and met the small side of Yuqing Palace outside the door, she still remembered that she first entered the palace.

Xiao Li Jia's name has the word "Wen", and in order to distinguish the two side Fujin in Yuqing Palace in the palace, she has been used to calling her Wen Fujin for two years. In April of that year, Wen Fujin gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately died in August, but because the prince loved Wen Fujin, this time was only Layue, and she was already pregnant with Liujia, and the doctor said that she would give birth in March next year.

Lan Qi stood under the door with her hair in her arms, watching the grandmothers support Wen Fujin to her side, and vaguely remembered that it was the same situation two years ago, when her cousin made trouble for a few days before giving birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, which disturbed her newly married days, and even the palace people ignored her, at that time, Xiao Fujin was trembling when she spoke, but in the past two years, she and her cousin have been fighting openly and secretly in Yuqing Palace, and everyone gradually knows that she is not a bully.

"It's snowing, why are you here now?" Lan Qi asked politely, "Didn't the Queen Mother order early in the morning, don't you want to come and ask for peace?" ”

Wen Fujin said with a smile: "Because there is a happy event in Yuqing Palace, I specially came to say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

Lan Qi and Yuxi glanced at each other, and then listened to Wen Fujin's words, only to know that half an hour ago, the imperial doctor set up a happy pulse in Yuqing Palace, her cousin was nearly three months pregnant, and the prince did not return with the emperor's tomb, so Fang Fujin sent her pot-bellied poop to Ningshou Palace in person to report the good news.

Wen Fujin soon entered the door of Ningshou Palace, Lan Qi led Yuxi away, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her, and the melancholy on her daughter-in-law's face was really visible, which couldn't help but make Lan Qi feel distressed.

That year, after the crown prince gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, the eldest brother Fujin outside the palace followed closely with the good news, but it was a pity that when he gave birth in July of the next year, he still gave birth to a daughter, and Dafujin gave birth to four daughters in a row, and even the people who originally sympathized with her felt incredible, as if they were destined not to give birth to a son, and even Concubine Hui was desperate. In the autumn of the same year, Sanfujin was also pregnant, but after she moved out, she didn't know how to maintain it in the Brother's Mansion, and when she had a miscarriage in less than three months, she just knew that she was pregnant.

But whether Dafujin gave birth to a daughter, or Sanfujin had a miscarriage, or the child of the prince Wen Fujin died, there was good news, but the fourth elder brother, who has been married for two years, has not made any movement so far. Further down, the Queen Mother is already talking about the marriage of the fifth elder brother, and when there are five blessings in the palace, if there is still no news from the fourth elder brother, the young couple will be really embarrassed.

Lan Qi suddenly stopped, and Yuxi noticed the movement and stopped immediately.

In the past two years, the daughter-in-law has grown a lot taller, and Yinzhen has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, although the majority of children in and out of the palace are born at this age, but in her eyes, her son and daughter-in-law are always children, she herself is really not worried about whether they have children, but the environment is forced, they are all people who have to live in the "eyes" of others, the reality is in front of them, this is their fate.

"It's cold or not, let's wait for them to send a warm sedan car to travel, the snow particles will get into the hood, and your hair will be wet." Lan Qi reached out and gently wiped Yuxi's sideburns, and said gently, "It's not good to catch a cold, there is no you to accompany Eniang to deal with the royal relatives in the lunar month and the first month, and Eniang will be suffocated." ”

Yuxi lowered her eyes more and more, and said in a trembling voice: "If you can have a grandson to accompany Eniang, Eniang will not be afraid of being bored." ”

Lan Qi smiled slightly: "Your younger brothers and sisters have only grown up, I have been quiet for a few years, I am not in a hurry for you to give birth, in two years, let Eniang also rest, right?" ”

"E-Niang is coaxing me, I know." Yuxi pursed her lips, grabbed her mother-in-law's hand tightly and said, "Eniang, you can help me persuade Yinzhen and let him take a concubine, my body is ......."

"Okay, don't say that." Lan Qi clenched her hand with her backhand again, a little serious, "This matter, how can Yinzhen tell me, how will I call the shots for you, you don't count." ”

Yuxi was helpless, it was all her mother-in-law and Yinzhen's love for her, so she could only nod her head and respond softly: "I listen to Eniang." ”

While speaking, a eunuch ran in front of him, and the attendant Luzhu stepped forward to be obedient, stepped on the snow and came back, and said with an unhappy face: "The concubine Niangniang has sent a message, begging the master to send the imperial doctor to Qixiang Palace again, saying that Wang Changzai seems to be lochia and uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor and Wen Po go to see it again." ”

Lan Qi was expressionless, and only asked, "Is little brother good?" ”

Lu Zhu said nonchalantly: "This slave doesn't know." ”

Just a few days ago, at the end of November, Wang Chang gave birth to a little brother in Ping'an, she was taken back to the Forbidden City on the way to the south of the 28th year of Kangxi, and her grace has not faded for four or five years, but because of the early years of Yuan Yuan, who entered the palace at the same time, was injured by the body, and then because the emperor was not close to him under the grace, so it was not until the spring of this year that she was finally fortunate to be pregnant with a dragon.

At that time, there was a burst of sourness in the palace, and Yonghe Palace could smell it behind closed doors, in contrast, Lan Qi, who has always been a vinegar jar, took good care of Qixiang Palace in this year, and did not let Wang Changzai suffer the slightest grievance. On the day of delivery, Lan Qi stayed in Qixiang Palace with her concubine all night until the little brother was born.

In the past year, countless people have criticized Concubine De Niangniang for wooing the young Wang Changzai for the sake of favor, and even the servants in Yonghe Palace don't understand their master, but she doesn't care, and takes care of Wang and her fetus, until now that the mother and child are safe, she is a little relieved.

Hearing Luzhu's words at this moment, Lan Qi instructed Yuxi: "You go to Yonghe Palace to accompany Chen'er, now thirteen or fourteen are in the study, she is boring, Yinzhen is not in the palace, you are not interesting alone, I will go to Qixiang Palace here, and I will come back soon." ”

The affairs of the concubines in the palace, Lan Qi has always not allowed Yuxi to ask and interfere, Yuxi does not have so much curiosity, what Eniang said she would do, at this moment she left after the blessing of the body, only a few steps away, I heard Lu Zhu behind him and said: "Niangniang, Wang Changzai is too good at making trouble, you go to Qixiang Palace this time, does she feel that you owe her, you should take care of her?" ”

Yuxi didn't dare to listen more, and hurriedly walked away, Lan Qi was not in a bad mood here, and smiled and blamed Lu Zhu: "The little palace maid under her hand has a lot of them, and she still talks about this bastard." ”

Lu Zhu was not convinced: "The slave maid feels sorry for the mother, one is always there, is it worth your trouble?" ”

Having said that, everyone still hugged the master to go to Qixiang Palace, because the road was far away, they sent a warm sedan chair halfway to travel, and at that time, Yuxi had returned to Yonghe Palace, and then played with Princess Wen Chen for a while, and Huanchun returned from visiting relatives outside the palace. She has been absent from the palace for two days, and when she came back to see Sifu Jin, she said with a smile: "The slave maid and sister-in-law went to the temple to worship the Buddha, and asked for a peace charm for the master, you and the princesses. ”

Yuxi said happily: "It is said that the folk temples are the most spiritual, how dare I dislike it, please come to me." ”

Huanchun changed his clothes, carefully served the peace charm, and told Sifujin about the interesting things outside the palace, Yuxi has not been out of the palace for two years, even when she is at home, she is also a daughter who does not go out of the door, she has never known much about the things in the streets and alleys of the market, and she is yearning for it, Huanchun smiled: "The mansion of the fourth elder brother will be cleaned up in a few months, and after Fujin moves out, he can go shopping from time to time." ”

Yuxi shook his head: "There are many people on the road, and it will be bad if I meet bad people, I don't dare to take the girl out alone, unless the fourth elder brother leads me there." ”

Huan Chun praised: "Niangniang always says that Fujin is the most reassuring child for her, with you by the side of the fourth elder brother, Niangniang doesn't have to worry about anything." ”

Yuxi smiled happily, but soon something came to mind, and the smile gradually faded, and she murmured, "There are always things I can't do well." As he spoke, he lowered his eyes, and only whispered to Huanchun for a while: "Aunt Huanchun, can you do me a favor?" ”

Huan Chun hurriedly smiled: "Fu Jin has tormented the slave maid, Fu Jin just orders." ”

Yuxi hesitated a little, and finally spoke: "Can you help me persuade Eniang, let her persuade the fourth elder brother, take the side of Fujin earlier, even if it is a concubine, the prince side of Fujin is pregnant again, Wen Fujin is about to give birth in the spring, and the eldest brother and the third elder brother are also very lively, just our family...... They hurt me, but I'm also anxious. ”

Huanchun didn't know what to do, so he could only say: "It's good to be at ease with Fujin, as for the slaves and maids, they really can't help you, the master has said again and again, the slaves are not allowed to discuss this matter, and they can't even mention it." ”

Yuxi looked helpless and sighed softly: "I still have to say that it is useful to move the fourth elder brother, and next year I will say that I will choose Fujin for the fifth elder brother, year after year, the piercing eyes will pass." ”

At the same time, Lan Qi sat in the warm pavilion of Qixiang Palace, the curtain in front of the door was opened, and the imperial doctor came in and bent his knees to tell Wang Chang about his illness, and sure enough, the fever was caused by the lochia not being drained clean, not that Wang Chang was deliberately tossing as Lu Zhu speculated, and the imperial doctor said that it was dangerous if it had not been seen well, and he should take care of it these days.

Lan Qi listened to the words of the imperial doctor, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the concubine trembling, her face was pale, as if she was trying to make a calm appearance, and her abnormal behavior was really suspicious, Lan Qi asked coldly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The concubine was startled, raised her hand to hold the coffee table on the side, and pushed the teacup on the ground, the sound of porcelain breaking was very harsh, the imperial doctor was a little at a loss, and only listened to Concubine De's instructions: "Take care of your life, the emperor will return from the tomb soon, Wang Changzai has always been favored, if there is any mistake, you can't afford to pay." ”

The imperial doctor kowtowed again and again, and after retreating, Lan Qi asked the palace maids to leave, and asked Luzhu to stay in front of the door and not ask the idle people to come close, the concubine saw this posture, and was so panicked that she didn't dare to look up at people, and Lan Qi said coldly: "There is no one else, there is still time to say what to say now." ”

The concubine raised her eyes tremblingly, and muttered in her mouth: "Concubine De Niangniang......"

Lan Qi had anger in her eyes, stared at her and asked, "She gave birth smoothly and didn't hurt her vitality too much, what did you give her to eat, will she be able to drain the lochia?" ”
