291 Call me another mother

The person in front of her was so sad, but Concubine Hui was happy in her heart, but even if this joy was about to overflow, she hid it in her heart, and she didn't understand who Concubine Yi was sad to see, could it be that in her opinion, there would be any woman in this palace who would be willing to see others have more children and more blessings?

Thinking of the news handed in by Mrs. Mingzhu today, although she was nervous in her heart, she knew that she couldn't do this, she and her son had no future at all, anyway, sooner or later they had to take this road, obviously it was much smoother to walk now.

"Sister Hui, do you think I'm still okay?" Concubine Yi wept.

Concubine Hui hurriedly restrained her thoughts to comfort her, with a smile on her face and sarcasm in her heart, "Why not, you are still very young." ”

The excitement of the Dragon Boat Festival gradually dissipated, the Xianfu Palace has always been deserted, that day Concubine Tong said that the idea of the Dragon Boat Festival to solve the grounding of the Juechan family, the imperial concubine really nodded, probably because she felt that no matter who her sister was with, it was rare for the emperor to love, since she liked the companion of Jue Chan, it was better than calling her lonely.

Today, Jue Chan followed Concubine Tong to see a lot of excitement, this time with a lot of rewards and gifts back, to present to Wen Guifei, when entering the main hall, is listening to Wen Guifei said: "They are all gone? ”

Dong Yun replied: "Basically all of them have left the palace, and no one can come in again at this time, the slave maid went to the front to see, and several ladies really did not enter the palace." ”

Concubine Wen sneered: "It's really strange, in the past, I rushed into the palace to see me, but now I didn't say that I would show them my face, why didn't I come." If they are like this, they will either have a relationship with me, or they will have another idea, and I don't know them? ”

Juechan walked in, and Concubine Wen didn't stop saying these words when she saw her, it didn't seem to be a big deal, and it didn't matter if she was heard.

"These things, you pick the ones you like and keep them, let Dongyun and them share the rest, I don't lack anything here." The gift sent, Concubine Wen didn't pay attention, lazily instructed the Juechan clan, and then listened to her explain a few words about the things ahead, and was about to leave, but Concubine Wen stopped her, let Dongyun and a few people go down, and asked her privately, "I see that you are much better than before, did you really put down everything over there?" But I heard that the inexplicable guard last time also died inexplicably in the hands of Nalan Rongruo, and it seems that he didn't seem to let go of you. ”

Many years ago, Juechan felt that Concubine Wen respected her feelings, and felt that Concubine De trampled on her sincerity, but now she realized that Concubine De has her position, as the emperor's wife, she does not allow other women of the emperor to have different intentions, at least that way can she live in the harem, and Concubine Wen's so-called respect is just to firmly tie herself to do things for her and give her advice, and this is just to send herself to the road of no recovery one day.

"It's still what I said before, the concubine is already like water, and she just wants to serve you well in Xianfu Palace." Juechan confessed his heart again, and now that she and Concubine Wen have broken off the connection with Nalan Rongruo, Concubine Wen is not at ease with her, as if this sentence is said again and again, so that Concubine Wen can feel that she is still worth using.

"But my love for the emperor has never changed, and I still hope that one day he will look at me again." Concubine Wen looked at her and asked, "So I think, how could you break off your affection when you have such a deep affection?" ”

Jue Chan lowered his eyes deeply, and said lightly: "Niangniang and the emperor are righteous, you have been the emperor's woman all your life, and the concubine is obsessed, and now she is sober, I only hope that Niangniang can be with the emperor for a long time." ”

Concubine Wen liked to hear this, and couldn't help laughing, her face was full of longing for the future, and she murmured softly: "It's good that it's been going on forever." ”

The hour passed bit by bit, as the night fell, the quiet Forbidden City seemed to have never had the hustle and bustle of the daytime festival, the fourth elder brother in the Chengqian Palace sat under the lamp and recited, and the imperial concubine brought a plate of snacks, but was rejected by his son and said: "If you are full, you will be sleepy, and you should be calm and calm when you endorse the book, and you should not feel sorry for your sons, I am not hungry at all." ”

The imperial concubine muttered: "Now that Yinzhen talks to Eniang, she is always so polite and polite, does Yinzhen not like Eniang?" ”

The mother and son here always love to be coquettish to their son, Yinzhen loves her mother very much, and hurriedly put down the book to coax her, and the imperial concubine asked with a smile: "Do you like that little girl in Yuxi today?" ”

How could Yin Zhen think of the future love of children, for children, Yuxi is cute and smart, and he is a good playmate, of course he nodded and said: "Yuxi is very good." ”

The imperial concubine smiled: "E-niang thinks Yuxi is more beautiful than your sisters and sisters, doesn't she?" ”

Yin Zhen shook his head, "The minister thinks that Wen Xian is still good-looking." ”

"You just like my sister." The imperial concubine was disgusted, took her son's hand and shook it and said, "I heard that several sisters coaxed Yuxi to be your Fujin in the future, what does Yinzhen think?" ”

Yin Zhen laughed: "How can E-niang say this, how old is the son?" Don't delay me from memorizing my homework, today the prince's brother asked Huang Ama for instructions, and he will study with his brothers in the future, I don't want to lose to the royal brothers, Eniang, I have to memorize my homework, can you go and rest? ”

The imperial concubine reluctantly patted his head: "If you have a study, you don't want Eniang, don't treat yourself like this to yourself in the future." ”

But Yinzhen didn't listen at all, and pushed Eniang to ask her to go out, the imperial concubine was "kicked out" by her son, leaned in front of the door and watched him sit back at the table and read poetry, shrugged his shoulders and sighed to Qinglian beside him: "It's better to be a child, stick to me every day." ”

Children love to be clingy, Lan Qi is full of this happiness here, it is a good sleep at night, there is a sudden movement in the house, I woke up hazy and heard Yinzuo crying and calling Eniang, Lan Qi turned over, Luzhu and several people had already set up the tent, and saw that his son was brought in bedclothes, Luzhu smiled softly and said: "The sixth elder brother wetted the bed, crying to come to Eniang to sleep." ”

As soon as Yinzuo entered his mother's arms, he became a lot calmer, and Lan Qi laughed at him: "E-niang didn't scold you, why are you crying?" Are you ashamed, how old are you still wetting the bed? ”

The little guy pumped and said that he dreamed of a big dragon boat, dreamed of the boat swimming in the water, and then was woken up by the nurse, just as Eniang said that he was not small, and now he will feel that this is a very shy thing, so he doesn't want to stay in his own room, and wants to come to Eniang.

Lan Qi asked her son, "Can you go back to your own room and sleep?" E-Niang will accompany you over. ”

"Don't, don't." Yinzuo hugged his mother's neck tightly, and after tossing and turning, he was already sleepy, his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't lift them, and he said vaguely, "Yinzuo wants to sleep with Eniang." ”

Lan Qi just teased him, and her son soon fell asleep sweetly in her arms, although even the Empress Dowager was worried about whether she would spoil the sixth elder brother, but she always couldn't help but want to spoil him. Unconsciously he will treat Yinzhen as his eldest son, and he feels that with his elder brother, it doesn't matter if his younger brother is not so good.

Moreover, Yinzhen was raised by the imperial concubine, so she would worry about whether the imperial concubine's upbringing was proper with the attitude of a bystander, but Yinzuo followed herself, so she didn't see herself clearly like others, maybe she was not as good as the imperial concubine, but her son was by her side, except for loving him, as if everything else didn't matter.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, as Yinzhen said to the imperial concubine that night, because the prince himself proposed that he didn't want to be too angry with his brothers, and wanted to study in the study together, Xuan Ye also hoped to see their brothers have a deep relationship, since it was the prince's heart, he agreed, and let the prince go to study with his brothers the next day. And because the study has to serve the prince from now on, it has added more manpower and served the elder brothers more carefully than before.

The weather is getting hotter, Xuan Ye occasionally comes to Yonghe Palace to take a nap, saying that it is a nap, but it is just a short rest, Lan Qi said that he has the kung fu to go back and forth between Qianqing Palace and Yonghe Palace, it is better to rest in Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye muttered: "Then do you come to Qianqing Palace every day to accompany me?" ”

Lan Qi knew his intentions, but he just wanted to come and talk to himself, and his heart was sweet, but he said hypocritically: "The emperor doesn't come every day, why do you want your concubines to go every day?" ”

The two of them quarreled and joked a few words, which can always relieve their fatigue, these days Tsarist Russia is restless, and he ran back to the lonely city of Yaksa again, Xuan Ye is thinking about whether to expel them again, these days I have always been troubled by this, it is rare to come to Lan Qi's side, and I don't want to think about the affairs of the court.

After a short break, he got up to eat tea to refresh himself, and was instructing Gonggong Li to arrange to see the ministers in the afternoon, and raised his eyes to see Yinzuo's little figure probing his brain in front of the door, and he liked it for a while, so he let him in, and the little guy ran to Huang Ama, and said with a long face: "Is it okay for Huang Ama to play with Yinzuo?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "Ama still has a lot of things to do, next time, will you come back to accompany Yinzuo?" ”

Yinzuo pouted and hung his head, his feet twisted slightly and rubbed the ground, and he muttered: "Yinzuo is boring, it's not interesting at all, Yinzuo also wants to go to the study." ”

"Next year, you and the fifth elder brother will go to the study together, why don't you have a good time now?" Xuan Ye patiently coaxed him, "It's not fun to go to the study, you have to work hard to read and endorse, you can't memorize well, and Huang Ama will beat your palm, what's the point of the study?" ”

Lan Qi was disgusted on the side: "Where is the emperor teaching his son like this, shouldn't he be praised for being motivated?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "I have never had a carefree time in the past few years, I always think that my son can laugh happily when he thinks of his childhood in the future." ”

Lan Qi felt a pain in his heart, Xuan Ye was sent to the palace to raise him when he was a child, many things were involuntarily, he always had a regret in his heart, he shouldn't be joking rashly, but Yinzuo still pestered Huang Ama and said that he wanted to go to the study, and Xuan Ye promised him: "In a few days, you and the fifth elder brother will go to the study together for a day to stay in the rules, if you are not afraid of hardship, it is not impossible to agree to go to the study earlier, but if you can't sit still, you will come back obediently and wait for another half a year." You're going to go to the study in the first month of next year, and you won't be able to go if you want to go or not, you know? ”

Yinzuo seemed to listen seriously, but in fact, for him, it was good to be able to stay with the fourth brother, and he didn't know if he understood his father's words, so he just nodded vigorously: "Erchen knows, Huang Ama, Yinzuo will be very well-behaved." ”

That night, Yinzuo couldn't help but run to Chengqian Palace to tell his brother that he was also going to the study, Lan Qi came over and explained to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine just laughed: "This little naughty ran to the study, don't make trouble that the brothers can't study well, and now the prince is also over there, making trouble with the prince's homework, and he Huang Ama will be annoyed when he turns around, and you have to be told that you didn't discipline the child well." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Maybe you won't be able to sit still for a long time, and the concubine will pay attention to bring him back." ”

But on the day when the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother went to the study to study, the empress dowager had some colds due to greed, and Lan Qi had to take care of the empress dowager in Cining Palace, and the study now stipulates that there can be no palace maids and grandmothers, so the eunuchs in Yonghe Palace follow the sixth elder brother. Before going out in the morning, he told him a thousand times, but this little guy's heart had already flown to the fourth brother's side, and when someone from the Chengqian Palace said that the fourth elder brother was going out, he immediately rushed away.

On the way, Yinzhen also taught his younger brother several times, asking him to be obedient and not naughty, not to quarrel with everyone to study, just sit quietly on the side, Yinzuo stuck to his brother and said: "I want to sit next to the fourth brother, I don't quarrel with you." ”

Yinzhen thought that his younger brother could still watch him when he was around, and last night Eniang also said that he wanted him to take good care of his younger brother, so after entering the study, he arranged for the sixth elder brother to sit at the same table with him, today the third elder brother had a stomach and took leave, and the fifth elder brother sat in the position of the third elder brother, the eldest elder brother and the prince arrived later, and then went to class and lectured according to the rules, the two younger brothers were quietly very obedient, Yinzhen looked at the younger brother around him from time to time, but the little Yinzuo sat obediently and did not move, and he gradually felt at ease for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it is already afternoon, the weather is getting hotter, the days are longer and the nights are shorter, and the brothers have a longer class time than the winter day, and there will be a small half hour of rest in the afternoon, usually at this time for the children to have some refreshments. The eunuchs who follow the little master will prepare what they want to eat, each person is not the same every day, today Yinzhen is still just a glass of warm water, the eldest brother has put a lot of snacks on the side, and the prince is also a delicate and delicious pastry.

"Fourth brother, why do you only drink water?" Yinzuo followed the fourth elder brother, and only put a bowl of warm water in front of him, Yinzhen said that he was afraid that he would be sleepy if he ate too much, he never used snacks and only drank water, Yinzuo obediently held the tea bowl and took a sip of light and tasteless warm water, cute and pitiful appearance, called Yinzhen looked at it and smiled, "Are you hungry?" Go back to Chengqian Palace and let Qinglian steamed shrimp dumplings for you to eat. ”

When the prince heard this, he called his attendants and instructed them: "Divide my snacks among the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother, you prepare so much every day, I can't eat it." ”

The little eunuchs quickly brought the plates, divided the snacks in front of the prince into several parts, and sent them to the eldest brother, the fifth elder brother and the fourth elder brother respectively. ”

The prince smiled and said, "Just let Yinzuo eat, he is probably hungry, and it is not easy to sit for a day." He said to Yinqi again, "The fifth brother is also hungry, right?" ”

The fifth elder brother also nodded happily, but he asked the little eunuch to lead him to relieve his hands first, while the eldest elder brother on the other side was very disdainful of the things that the prince had shared, and on the one hand asked the little eunuch to share his snacks with his younger brothers, and asked a little eunuch to eat what the prince had given, and deliberately said loudly: "I will give you a reward, I don't like this thing." ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to take it, and the eldest brother scolded him: "Bastard, don't you dislike the prince's dim sum?" Hurry up and eat it, and don't let me come back and see it again. He put down this sentence, and was about to relieve himself, and left with a big grin.

Yinzhen didn't care about these things, looking at the little eunuch tremblingly grabbed a snack and stood aside to eat, the prince didn't seem to care, Yinzhen sat back and let his younger brother eat snacks by himself, he took the book to review the morning's homework, and only read a few words in his mouth, suddenly heard a miserable scream, raised his eyes and looked over, the eunuch who was still standing at the table eating snacks just now, pinched his throat with both hands and fell down, Yinzhen was frightened, but then he heard a painful "fourth brother......" There was a heavy bang around him, and he felt that Yinzuo fell.

"Sixth Elder Brother! Sixth Brother! ”

The screams in the classroom came and went, Yinzhen looked back and saw Yinzuo who fell to the ground, and before he could reach out to pull his younger brother, Xiao Hezi ran over and covered his master's eyes and pulled him back, the prince in front of him had a piece of dim sum to send to his mouth, and he was stunned when he saw the eunuch of the eldest brother falling, and then he heard the screams and shouted the sixth elder brother, and when he turned around, he saw that his younger brother also fell to the ground and vomited blood in his mouth, so frightened that all the things in his hand fell to the ground.

There was a pot of porridge in the study, the prince and Yinzhen were forcibly taken away, and when they got outside, Yinzhen came back to his senses, struggling to go back to find his brother, Xiao Hezi cried and grabbed him to prevent him from moving, and soon a guard rushed to control the entire study, and the eldest brother and the fifth elder brother who returned together didn't know what was going on.

In the Qianqing Palace, good news came from Heilongjiang, General Peng Chun conquered Yaksa City again, the Russian army was exhausted and retreated to Nebuchu, Xuan Ye was discussing with the ministers how to reward Peng Chun, Gonggong Li ran in in despair, for the first time in so many years, he was so rude, his pale face was full of tears, and he cried and said to the emperor: "Long live Lord, something happened in the study...... Emperor...... Sixth Elder Brother, Sixth Elder Brother, ......"

The imperial pen in Xuan Ye's hand fell, and the entire Forbidden City, as Gonggong Li finished saying that, was like a frozen river in the depths of winter, suddenly cracking a crack from the center, and the crack continued to spread around, and the emperor walked into Cining Palace step by step, and the crack was like a sharp blade.

In the pantry, Lan Qi opened a jar of spring water, to brew date tea for the Empress Dowager, when she heard the familiar footsteps behind her, she thought she was thinking too much, but she simply wanted to turn around and take a look, but she really saw Xuan Ye behind her, she blessed her body, and said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with everything in the palace?" The Empress Dowager is saying that she is in a panic, you go over to talk with you, and the concubines have made tea, and this is ......."

"Lanqi." Xuan Ye's voice seemed to come from a bottomless abyss, so dull that it was suffocating.

Lan Qi saw the emperor's face clearly, his heart shook slightly, and there was still a smile on his face, and he asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Xuan Ye clenched his hands into fists, his joints rattled, and his heart ached so much that he could barely support him standing in front of Lan Qi, and his appearance like this really scared Lan Qi, she took a step closer and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

"Yinzuo...... Nope. The four words, using up all Xuan Ye's courage, the moment he said it, the fragment of heartbreak stabbed his internal organs, and the dignified son of heaven shed tears, and involuntarily took half a step back.

Lan Qi looked at the emperor in a daze, she heard all four words clearly, but what did it mean to be gone? What does it mean to be gone? Yinzuo, Yinzuo is gone? Where did Yinzuo go?

Xuan Ye took a deep breath in pain, supporting himself with his ruthlessness as an emperor, "If you stay in Cining Palace, the imperial grandmother will be very sad, and I will hand over the imperial grandmother to you." ”

"The emperor's ......" Lan Qi's face is like a dead stone carving.

The Emperor turned around and did not answer her, and strode forward.

"Xuan Ye."

When a sound came, the emperor was suddenly stunned, and the person behind him seemed to have been drained of his soul, leaving only the last wisp of pleading in his eyes, she opened her mouth half-open, and couldn't say anything, but Xuan Ye knew that she was going to see the child.

"Don't look at it......" He turned around, and at first glance Lan Qi's appearance, he went crazy.

"Xuan Ye."

"Promise me." Xuan Ye only said these three words, reached out and grabbed Lan Qi's arm, and pulled her all the way outside.

The hideous crack finally disintegrated the frozen river, and the moment it collapsed, the waves were turbulent and cold to the bone, and the entire Forbidden City seemed to be struggling in the turbulent ice current, unable to move or breathe......

The sixth elder brother Yinzuo was poisoned and died, and with the acquiescence of the emperor, he was temporarily sent back to Yonghe Palace by making an exception, and the future is still under discussion, and the real cause of death will not be announced to the outside world.

Yonghe Palace was crying exhausted, the children who were still alive yesterday said that there was no and there was no more, Huanchun Luzhu cried and fainted, but only one person did not cry.

Lan Qi sat quietly on the side of her son's bed, the child who had long been out of breath on the bed seemed to her to be just sleeping as well as usual, she sat like this for a whole night, and Xuan Ye was waiting for her in the main hall, also for a night.

But the child can't stop like this all the time, after the next morning, people kept coming to ask the emperor to let the sixth elder brother be buried, Xuan Ye shook his body and approached his son's house, and saw Lan Qi sitting on the edge of the bed, gently patting his son's arm, and he didn't know what to mutter, Xuan Ye approached, and only then did he vaguely hear: "Yinzuo, get up." ”

Xuan Ye's body shook and almost fell, he tried to stand firmly, approached the bed, choked and tried to spit out a few words: "Let my son go, he can't stop here, Lan Qi ......"

"Yinzuo, get up." The mother beside the bed turned a deaf ear to this, smiled slightly and gently patted her son's arm, coaxing him like usual, "Yinzuo got up by himself, Yinzuo is the most well-behaved." ”

Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, already choked up, "Lan Qi, Yinzuo is gone." ”

Lan Qi turned to look at her, her seemingly tiny face was lifeless at all, her soul had already been drained clean, and her chapped red lips slowly squirmed: "I want Yinzuo to get up, and I want him to call me Eniang again." ”

...
