"Yinzhen is even more unreasonable, he protects Yuxi wholeheartedly, I go to say these words, but he thinks I am urging him." Lan Qi sighed helplessly, and said to Bu Gui, "It's just to talk to you to relieve your boredom, this matter is not in a hurry, maybe they are fine, I am worried about it." ”

But the mother didn't worry about it, no matter how calm and strong the little couple was, I am afraid they couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion, and the gossip outside the palace flew to the fourth elder brother's mansion like a knife, saying that Sifujin himself did not give birth, and he also bullied her husband to prevent him from touching the concubine room, and so on, Lan Qi can control the mouth of the palace, but she can't control the ups and downs outside.

In the days that followed, Yuxi entered the palace less and less, and the words that Qinglian came in said that Fujin concentrated on taking care of the little county lord every day, and there was nothing to do when he looked peaceful, and the couple were as loving and harmonious as ever, and the people who loved to chew their tongues in the house were dealt with by Qinglian, and the words outside were not very good, but Fujin lived in the mansion and couldn't hear anything.

At first, listening to Qinglian's words, Lan Qi thought that the children would be fine, but in May, Yuxi took Nian Tong into the palace to ask for peace, and when the mother and daughter accompanied the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace, Qinglian who followed up quietly came to Yonghe Palace Concubine Niangniang and said that the fourth elder brother and Fujin had a quarrel in the past few days. Originally, Fujin asked the fourth elder brother to go to Li Fangfujin and Song Gege's house, but the fourth elder brother did not agree, and the two had a discordant speech and quarreled loudly in the house. At that time, the little county lord was beside Fu Jin, and the children were so frightened that they cried, but they didn't dare to go in, and they only waited for the fourth elder brother to leave in a bad mood, and they went in to coax the children, and Fu Jin hid in the tent and refused to see anyone. After that, I was depressed, I thought I wouldn't be invited to the palace today, but I didn't expect to come.

Lan Qi's heart was heavy when she heard this, but she still said to Qinglian: "Don't talk too much between them, it will cause more trouble, and this matter will pass sooner or later." ”

Sure enough, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and people in and outside the palace have always looked at the harmony between husband and wife in the fourth elder brother's mansion, and watched Sifujin be as filial to Concubine De as a mother and daughter, but they didn't know that there would be such an embarrassing day. When the Fujin side of the other mansions appeared in the palace with their stomachs up, all the embarrassment and helplessness fell on the Yonghe Palace and the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

But the more generous and decent the Sifujin behaves, the more people with broken mouths love to find trouble from it, here Lan Qi came to Ningshou Palace after listening to Qinglian's words, and met Concubine Rong together on the halfway, and the two entered the door together, when they were about to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom, they passed by the house on the side, and heard the voice of Sanfujin inside: "What else does she expect, didn't she say that she can't have children?" I entered the door with her, I didn't keep it in the early years, and I have been raising my body for two years, so I will have it again. It's a shame that there are still a few little goblins pestering the third elder brother in my house, and I heard that the side rooms in the fourth elder brother's mansion are not close to the fourth elder brother's body. In the end, she can't give birth, and it's useless to tie the fourth elder brother to the house. ”

Lan Qi's face was cold, Concubine Rong was so embarrassed that she quickly turned around and went to the house to scold her daughter-in-law, Lan Qi was too lazy to listen to them, and went straight to the Queen Mother.

In the inner hall, the queen mother was hugging Nian Tong to make her laugh, Wen Xian and Wen Chen were all around the imperial grandmother, looking at the little niece, Yuxi sat quietly on the side, and suddenly saw Lan Qi arrive, so she got up to greet her and greet her mother.

Wen Chen turned around and ran over, pestering Lan Qi and said, "Eniang, I want to hug Nian Tong, but the imperial grandmother won't let me." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How old is she, I'm afraid of falling the child." ”

Lan Qi sat down to accompany the Queen Mother and the children to laugh, and soon also held Nian Tong in her arms, her little granddaughter is really delicate and cute, the child has no worries when she is in her arms, only when the nurse is hugged to feed, Lan Qi remembers Yuxi who is sitting on the side. Yuxi was so peaceful as if it didn't exist, and when she saw that the nurse had taken Nian Tong away, she went with her.

Wen Xian and Wen Chen were curious and fresh, and they also left with their sister-in-law to see their little niece, Lan Qi looked at the door and was stunned, and the Queen Mother called her: "Today, the children are all in the palace, I wanted to be lively, but when I saw Yuxi, I suddenly remembered those things, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this child." People in the palace say that she is not in good health and does not give birth, is it true? ”

"No, the imperial doctor said that Lan Ying didn't give birth, isn't she okay now?" Lan Qi said with a smile, "It's not good to be in good health, I was willing to get sick when I was a girl, and the concubine estimated that Yinzhen hurt her, and she was not in a hurry in the past few years." The children themselves don't care, and we worry about it, but it annoys them. ”

The Queen Mother nodded again and again: "It's good for you to think like this, it's just that those words don't sound good, but when can there be a stop in and outside the palace in this palace, if you can talk to Yuxi, persuade her to look away, I won't talk much." ”

While speaking, Concubine Rong came in from outside, and said with an embarrassed face that Sanfujin was not very comfortable, and left the palace in advance to go home, she also smiled very reluctantly at Lan Qi, if Sanfujin didn't hear Sanfujin today, if the two sisters heard it together, otherwise Lan Qi would be angry, and Concubine Rong might think she was making a fuss.

After leaving the Queen Mother, Concubine Rong apologized to Lan Qi repeatedly, Lan Qi was not polite, and said to Sister Rong: "It's to coax you if you don't get angry, let's have more than 20 years of sisterhood, don't be for the sake of the children." Sanfujin has such a temper, I don't blame her, but my sister should also teach and persuade more, I can not care about anything in front of my sister here, but if the child collides with others, will my sister always follow her in the future to compensate people. ”

Concubine Rong sighed bitterly: "I didn't listen to it before, but now I have a child in my belly, and I don't take it seriously." Actually, I don't want to care about them at all, don't think I'm hypocritical with these words, I've been in this palace for more than ten years than you, and I've already seen through some things. ”

Lan Qi also knew that Concubine Rong was helpless, so she relieved her heart and said: "Since my sister has made up her mind, let them go, let's stay in the palace well, we are with the emperor for a lifetime, and the children have their own children's blessings." ”

Except for saying a few words to Sister Bu in private, or chatting with Lan Ying when she entered the palace, Lan Qi didn't say a word to Xuan Ye, and the emperor didn't seem to be keeping an eye on Galdan in the past few months, but in fact, he was deploying new wars day by day. In early May, he took his brothers to the outskirts of the city for a military parade, and compared with the test of riding and shooting, he led his sons to live in Nanyuan for a few days.

In addition to resting in Yonghe Palace, the emperor was in the Qianqing Palace most of the time, and several young palace concubines were waiting.

It's just that the Chen family is low-key and introverted, going back and forth between the Qianqing Palace and the Zhongcui Palace, unless they follow the concubines to visit the door as guests, they almost don't appear in the palace on weekdays, and because of this, even the Queen Mother values it a few points. In contrast, the secret nobles are more and more unpopular, there was a rumor in the palace that the secret nobles were injured and ruined their appearance, but then the emperor not only recruited the secret nobles in the Qianqing Palace, but also occasionally went to the Qixiang Palace in person, and the rumors were self-defeating, but the favor of the secret nobles was not as good as before, which is also a fact.

But the entanglement between these women, Lan Qi has no intention of caring, as for the secret nobleman's secret, Xuan Ye guards it, and she doesn't need to worry about anything, on the contrary, Lan Qi feels that she is more and more in the posture of being a mother-in-law and a grandmother, and what she has nothing to worry about for a while is Yinzhen's family.

That day, Qinglian sent someone to spread the word, saying that Sifujin had eaten a lot of watermelons with well water every night recently, and Lan Qi's heart was shocked when she heard it, her body was so weak, and she ate such a cold thing, what did the child think in his heart?

And Sifujin's move, in addition to the transmission to Yonghe Palace, his own family will also know, that day the emperor led the brothers to the school, and then went to Changchun Garden to live for two days, Jue Luo because her husband knew about these movements, so he took the opportunity to visit his daughter in the brother's mansion.

When she entered the door in the evening, it was supposed to be the time to finish the meal, but she saw her daughter sitting alone in the room, cutting plates of melons and fruits on the table, and she was sitting there eating.

"Yuxi, why do you eat this?" Jue Luo's heart was worried, and he didn't dare to scare his daughter too harshly, so he sat down beside her, and asked the child with a smile, "Is it hot and bad appetite, but you can't just eat these, these things are cold, and the more you eat, the colder your body becomes, the more you lose your appetite." ”

Yuxi said to her mother: "Eniang, I haven't eaten a mouthful of melon for several years. ”

Jue Luo's words were speechless for a while, but when he saw his daughter continue to bow her head and eat the melon in her hand, tears the size of beans slid down her face, and her mother's heart was broken. She knew that Yuxi, in order to ask for a child, had poured bowls of medicine into it and eaten it like rice over the years, and she didn't touch a bite of cold melons, fruits and vegetables, she knew how difficult it was for her.

"Concubine De didn't blame you, and the fourth elder brother didn't blame you, why do you want to force yourself, there will always be children." Jue Luo said directly to his daughter, "What are you doing with yourself like this?" ”

Yuxi looked at her mother sadly and said: "I just don't want to toss, so I want to eat the melons that have been hungry for many years, this is the melons and fruits that have been paid to the palace, but they are sweet, can you taste them?" I haven't eaten these things in years, and I don't remember what they tasted like, so it's better not to toss them, otherwise it's boring to be a human being. ”

"Yuxi, don't eat it again." Jue Luo pulled away his daughter's hand and wiped the sticky juice on her hand with a handkerchief, but her daughter still reached out to take it, Jue Luo hugged her tightly and said, "Silly girl, why are you bothering? The doctor said that you won't have children, but E-Niang can't bear to tell you, no matter how hard you try, it's useless, you won't have it. Let's die, okay, okay? ”

In this way, even if her mother doesn't say it, Yuxi will accept her fate, no matter how good Yinzhen is to her, no matter how much medicine she takes, it is useless, year after year, disappointed again and again, she is really impatient.

Yuxi finally broke down, threw herself into her mother's arms and howled: "Eniang, I want my own child......"

The cry came from inside the door, and the fourth elder brother who rushed back from Changchun Garden, he and his mother-in-law entered the door, although they did not come back to visit Yuxi, but they wanted to go back to Changchun Garden immediately after returning to the house to get things, but when they saw their mother-in-law coming, they wanted to say goodbye, but they didn't expect to hear the conversation between mother and daughter outside the door. Yuxi's cry poked his heart, and Yinzhen was helpless.
