Raising his hand to signal the people of Huanchun to go down, Lan Qi walked in alone, no matter what happened to Xuan Ye, he sat down in front of the mirror, removed the heavy head, looked at Xuan Ye reflected in the glasses and said: "It's like a flat-headed people's house, the husband is lazy lying on the couch, the woman is busy inside and out, and when she becomes a yellow-faced woman, let the young one come to serve." ”

Xuan Ye looked at her with a smile: "You can't read this book, learn these foul words." But seeing that Lan Qi couldn't take off the hairpin between the green silk, she hurriedly came over and carefully picked it off for her, and said distressedly, "How hard do you pull it, all the good hair is torn off, and such good hair doesn't know how to cherish it." ”

Lan Qi took a comb and brushed her sideburns, and said with a smile: "I really don't dare to let you see it, I'm afraid that I will see white hair inside." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "I have already given birth to gray hair, you should also give birth to it quickly, let's grow old together." But then he asked, "Why did you tear down your head and face in broad daylight, and you won't see anyone for a while?" ”

Lan Qi said tiredly: "The temples on both sides jumped suddenly, and they rose very uncomfortably, they were fine for a while, but you suddenly came here, and even the people of our Yonghe Palace couldn't rest, seeing that the Queen Mother was coming, I couldn't relax for a moment." ”

Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to rub her head, saying that he didn't bother the people under him, just annoyed Lan Qi, and the two of them had warm smiles on their faces in the mirror, which erased all the traces of time. The emperor was afraid that she was nervous, and if she slept during the day and at night, she was afraid that she would not sleep well, and she was tired of dozing off for a while, so he asked Huanchun to bring the chessboard to sit and play under the open window, and it was rare to have a chess addiction, Lan Qi gradually became energetic, and was engrossed in fighting with Xuan Ye, the emperor suddenly said: "I forgot, I came to tell you that my son has done a good errand." ”

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment, the prince had already made it clear that the two had made it clear, Xuan Ye asked her not to take it to heart, and then she mentioned her son again, and she didn't know what good things she had done to make him smile on his face. Xuan Ye said that it was the impeachment of the governor of Shanxi, and asked Yinzhen to sort out the relationship between him and the officials in Beijing.

Lan Qi listened and couldn't help laughing: "Listening to the emperor's meaning, it seems that you have a bottom in your heart about this matter, and you deliberately asked Yinzhen to investigate?" ”

Xuan Ye bowed his head: "He has never befriended powerful people, I am afraid that he will be too isolated, this time it seems that he will not be like this, probably just low-key." ”

Lan Qi was happy in her heart, and couldn't help but joke: "You tell the concubine everything, don't be afraid that the concubine will spoil the child, turn around and tell him, let him listen to you with more eyes in the future?" ”

The emperor glanced at her with disdain, laid down a chess piece, and asked, "You dare?" ”

"That concubine is also ......" Lan Qi wanted to be a little arrogant, but in the end she was weak, so she only dared to hold her face and smile, "Don't dare and don't be ashamed." ”

At this time, Huanchun came in from outside with a box, handed it to the master and said that it was sent in by Ying Fujin, and said to the other side: "The fifth princess sent someone to send a message in, saying that the two sisters would be left to play in the house for two days, and she would take care of them so as not to let them get into trouble. ”

Lan Qi opened the box slightly, closed it again, and said with disgust in her mouth: "Where is she helping me take care of Xiao Chen'er and them, just to have fun with her sister." ”

Xuan Ye signaled that it was time for Lan Qi to fall, and asked casually: "What is in the box, you are panicking." ”

Lan Qi hurriedly stuffed Huanchun and asked her to put it away, perfunctorily saying that it was a woman's household thing, but Xuan Ye kept staring at her with eyes and "asked", Lan Qi was weak and embarrassed, and she was inexplicably angry, blaming Huanchun for being troubled and blind, and called her to turn the box out and hand it to the emperor for a look.

Xuan Ye opened the box inexplicably, and was shocked when he saw it, reaching out to get it, but closed the lid and asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

Lan Qi said in a hurry: "My own is clean." ”

Xuan Ye shook his head: "Where can you save so much money?" Yinzhen Wenxian got married twice, you didn't spend less money, and this is all new. ”

It turned out that in the box, there was a thick stack of brand-new silver tickets, Xuan Ye didn't count them, and he knew that there would be no less, Lan Qi's years were limited, and although he always rewarded her, he couldn't have so much. Seeing Lan Qi stretching out his hand to take it back, he put it aside with a deep face, and said solemnly: "You can tell me well, where did you get all this silver." ”

Seeing that the emperor was so sincere, Lan Qi was not only afraid, but angry, got up and ran away in a huff, Xuan Ye thought she should be bold and should shake her face, but the people quickly ran back, stuffed him with the account book and said: "If the emperor is willing to calculate, the concubine will let Huanchun take the abacus, and you will be a couple." There are examples of concubines here, rewards from you and the Queen Mother, and gift money for the marriage of children during the New Year's Festival. When did you see your concubines having dealings with your courtiers? Except for Alinga's brother-in-law, or the scene at the banquet, the concubine didn't say a word to outsiders. ”

Seeing that Lan Qi swore by it, Xuan Ye felt funny, but he still wondered why they were all new tickets, so Lan Qi blushed and said embarrassedly: "The old ones are afraid that they will be damaged, so the concubine asked Lan Ying to exchange them for new ones." Saying that, he glared at Huanchun, "When are you not good to show me, you must be intentional." ”

Huanchun was already very struggling to hold back his laughter, and when the master said this, he laughed out loud, for fear that the emperor would lose his manners, and he would run out after being blessed, and Lan Qi stretched out his hand towards Xuan Ye: "The emperor will return the concubine." ”

Xuan Ye touched the box and looked at Lan Qi in confusion: "I thought you just liked to save money, but I didn't expect you to be so able to save money, did the imperial grandmother leave you a lot?" ”

Lan Qi's expression was a little gloomy, probably because he missed the old man, and hung his head and said: "The Empress Dowager has left her concubines, except for those that have been given to Yinzhen and Wen Xian, the others have not been moved, and the concubines are reluctant to move." Moreover, the gift money received will have to be repaid sooner or later, and the emperor thinks how great the harem is, the days are the same, and the people are the same. ”

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "I don't understand your human relations, but I envy you." The silver in the treasury is always not saved, there are countless places to spend money every year, most of the grandiosities I set up when I was young have been realized, and in the end I found that the original emperor has to drill in the eyes of money, what people's livelihood and national defense, what river workers and transportation, in the final analysis, there is no money, there is silver and everything is easy to do. ”

As he spoke, he returned the box to Lan Qi and said with a smile: "Hide it, if you look back, you will tear down the roof of Yonghe Palace." ”

Lan Qi hugged the box and the account book in his arms, protecting rare treasures, but said as if he was a thief offering treasures: "The emperor doesn't count how many? ”

Xuan Ye glared at her: "If you count, I will be jealous of you, I don't have so much silver, if you do it again, I will confiscate it." ”

When the words fell, the person in front of him immediately ran away without a shadow, faintly heard Huanchun's laughter, the master and servant didn't know what to say, Lan Qi quickly ran back and sat down on the opposite side happily, but he didn't remember which move he made in this stirring chess, he bothered to recall with his eyes wide open, but Xuan Ye asked her seriously: "If the sons ask you to stretch out your hand, will you give it?" ”

Lan Qi didn't raise her head and said: "The concubine subsidy is limited, do you really think that you can just dig a stream and a small river for him at home?" All the things that should be given are given, these can't be moved, and some pocket money is given to grandchildren on weekdays, which hurts children. ”

Xuan Ye said: "If he wants to do something big, he can't turn around and ask you?" ”

Seeing that the emperor's face was serious, Lan Qi knew that he was speaking seriously, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "The Empress Dowager said that it would be a big deal if something really happened, and if the concubines threw money at them again, it would only make things worse, so I have to discuss it with you first." ”

Xuan Ye sighed softly: "The imperial grandmother is far-sighted, I don't have the broad-mindedness and wisdom of her, and she is just a woman, so I am even more ashamed." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "But you are the greatest pride of the Empress Dowager's life." ”

Xuan Ye shook his head: "I haven't been able to cultivate a good prince to inherit the country like my imperial grandmother cultivated me." ”

Lan Qi was inconvenient to take these words, she looked down at the chess game and said nothing, today she is holding a black man, but regardless of white and black sons, she has never been able to win against the emperor.

The originally joyful atmosphere inexplicably became heavy, Xuan Ye was happy to rest for a long time, but as a result, he was involved in the treasury tax and silver to raise his children, and a game of chess stopped there and could not continue, Lan Qi had already fallen a sunspot, but Xuan Ye did not move.

"After being happy, the heavy mind will be heavier, it can be seen that escape is not always the way, no wonder I indulge in worrying about state affairs day and night, because solving one thing is one thing, hiding from you, in the end you still have to face everything." Xuan Ye put down the chess pieces and said tiredly, "That's it, I'm going back." ”

Lan Qi got up and put on his boots, looked up and saw that he was really unhappy, she didn't want him to leave, and she didn't want him to leave with a stomach of displeasure, so she took her arm and sent it all the way to the door, seeing that she was shouting outside to prepare a sedan chair, she finally said: "If you leave like this, the concubine will really not be able to sleep at night, wasn't it good just now?" ”

Xuan Ye frowned, looking at her helplessly: "I don't know what's wrong. ”

Lan Qi asked softly, "How can I be happier?" His eyes were full of reluctance, but he said, "The concubine will give you half of the money she saved." ”

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "You are coaxing the child." ”

Lan Qi shook her head again and again, but said, "As long as you are happy, you can do anything." ”

"Then go out for a walk with me, let's go to Cining Palace for a walk, I probably miss the imperial grandmother." Xuan Ye didn't want Lan Qi to be worried, so he was reluctant to leave her after all, so the two abandoned the sedan chair together and walked to Cining Palace.

Originally, she walked and gossiped, and her mood gradually relaxed, but halfway through the road, she saw the princess leading people out of the roadside, she saw the imperial concubine walking here, her face was pale with fright, and she saluted in a panic, and asked tentatively: "Huang Ama and Concubine De Niangniang, where are you going?" ”
