Gonggong Li understands that the emperor wants to keep a palace maid, which is really a matter of one sentence, but in order not to let the concubine feel burdened in her heart, and she does not want her to feel that Huanchun is wronged, she takes great pains to complete this wish.

He has followed the emperor all his life, and many new things come from the concubines, and now he is coldly picking up the apprentices who will take over his position in the future, and Gonggong Li often warns them to open their eyes and take a good look, which masters in the palace are to be taken to heart and serve well.

A few days later, Lan Qi accompanied the emperor alone in the Hanyuan Hall of Yingtai, and Xuan Ye led her to visit several beautiful places in Yingtai, fishing during the day and enjoying the cool at night, and she was uncomfortable every day. But only leisurely three or four days passed, but the Empress Dowager's health is not very good, perhaps because of the hard work at the celebration banquet, after a few days of laziness, she began to have a fever, and she was originally planning to return to the palace at the end of July, in order to take care of the Empress Dowager's illness, the day of returning to the palace was delayed.

Lan Qi tried her best to take care of the elderly, and when the Empress Dowager was lazy and impatient for a while after her fever subsided, she laughed and had fun every day, took care of meals, and the palace maids took turns several times, but she never left an inch. Xuan Yefang was able to deal with the affairs of the court with peace of mind, and only came to take care of his grandmother in his free time, waiting for the decoction, a few people who were clear and quiet, if they didn't care about the emperor's family, it was really a family fun, the empress dowager was full of comfort, and her body gradually got better in August.

On this day, Xuan Ye and the ministers dispersed, came to see his grandmother for dinner, and the Queen Mother led Yinqi and Yinzuo to be here, and was saying that it was going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"It's very quiet here, although the illness is cured, the body is still lazy, I don't want to go back for a while, and there are many people who come to the palace to celebrate the festival, which is very annoying." The Empress Dowager smiled, and said coquettishly to her grandson, "Let me stay here for a while, and I will work hard for your ministers to run around every day." ”

"What can they work for? Naturally, the imperial grandmother's health is critical, and the grandson will stay with you for a while. Xuan Ye agreed, but also said, "It's a good place to escape the heat, but it's not suitable for winter, and your grandson still has to serve you back to the Forbidden City before winter, and you can't rely on it anymore at that time." ”

Lan Qi couldn't help but speak: "How can the emperor say that the empress dowager will not leave?" Everyone laughed, and the Queen Mother said: "Our emperor began to coax my grandmother as an old child." ”

Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi proudly, and bullied her again, "What do you know? ”

Lan Qi ignored him, sat beside the old man and rubbed his waist, but the Empress Dowager said: "The Queen Mother or go back to the palace first, there must be an elder in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you lead Yinqi back first, so that they all stretch their necks and worry about here." He was even less happy to say, "When I was sick, I didn't see anyone coming to serve the sick, and I was looking forward to going back during the holidays, because I was looking forward to the emperor, right?" Don't say that I'm partial to Lan Qi, which one has served me like her? ”

Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi blushing, and laughed in her heart that she would be shy when she met praise for so many years, but she was not ashamed when she lost her temper with herself, but thinking about it, there was really no second person who took care of the imperial grandmother like her, not to mention that she couldn't come with her, even if she really came, there were a few people who could take care of the elderly without leaving their clothes, they were all delicate and accustomed people, and they were tired and dirty to serve patients, and they were afraid that they would not do well when they came, so they simply didn't come, and sent people to greet them perfunctorily, who is rare.

The emperor was about to go back after sitting for a short time, and as soon as he left, the queen mother said: "The day before yesterday, someone from the Internal Affairs Office came to ask the concubine about the draft in the spring of tomorrow, and the concubine gave a few instructions and asked them to go back to find the concubine to cook." And the concubine looked at the emperor, he didn't seem to care much, he wanted to mention it just now, but he didn't say anything if he felt it was inappropriate. ”

Lan Qi has also heard movement in the past few days, and there are newcomers to enter the palace in the Eight Banners draft next year, and the matter of Concubine Tong's sister has also been reported, but as the Queen Mother said, the emperor has nothing to say here, and Lan Qi doesn't dare to mention it, and she said a few words to Huanchun in private, if it weren't for the Queen Mother mentioning it at this time, she wouldn't have said it to the third person.

The Empress Dowager said: "There are always rules and regulations, and they all understand what to do." ”

Lan Qi felt that she was not suitable to be on the side at the moment, so she got up and excused herself to leave, but the Empress Dowager left her and said: "Listen to it, in the next ten or twenty years, there will be a draft in the palace, and you should know how to do it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "The emperor's mother doesn't feel sorry for Lan Qi now, there is a newcomer coming, what do you think of her?" ”

Lan Qi hung her head and was silent, but the Empress Dowager smiled: "What should come will always come, and she can't be young for the rest of her life." ”

"At the end of the year, the six palaces will be sealed, you will be more noble in the future, the newcomers will look up to you, no matter how the emperor treats them, you must let go of it in your heart, the emperor's intentions for you for so many years are comparable to a few newcomers." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I don't have any skills myself, but I've seen too much and understood." ”

The Empress Dowager listened to these words very much, and was always worried that her daughter-in-law would not be able to hold the huge palace in the future, and she had recently seen her grow more and more, although it was really late, it was always a good thing, so she kept silent, and let the Empress Dowager say a few words of truth to Lan Qi, Lan Qi also had a smile on her face, and responded meekly: "The concubine will take a good look at the new sister." ”

The Queen Mother said happily: "You are the most broad-minded, you shouldn't have said these words to you, but you are the most favored, and if there is any new climate in the future, people will point to you to see jokes." Those who are willing to see people's jokes must be the most unsatisfactory and the most unsuccessful, if you pay attention to them, put yourself and them together, they are not worthy, and you can't do it. ”

Lan Qi agreed one by one, and her mood gradually improved, but she remembered something again, because she had been hanging in her heart for a long time, since she had said it at this moment, she simply had the courage to ask: "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, and the concubines have always wanted to ask, at the end of the year, the position of the fourth concubine can have the position of Sister Rong, do you know the emperor's intentions?" ”

"Naturally, there is her." The Empress Dowager said, "After returning to the palace, you can go and tell Concubine Rong to let her feel at ease, as for the new children of the Tong family in the coming year, she will have her sister's dignity, and she is young, so she can be placed in the concubine position for the time being." ”

Lan Qi is down-to-earth in her heart, and she has always remembered the pious joy of Sister Duan's sister that day, Duanfei is looking forward to Concubine Rong's good, if Concubine Rong is squeezed down for the sake of Xiao Tong Jia's family, everyone will not be happy, then she would rather not do anything to Concubine De.

But she is selfish, she used to think that as long as she could accompany Xuan Ye, it would be fine, but now that she has a child, seeing that Yinzhen's adoptive mother has changed from a concubine to an imperial concubine, the brothers can't be too different, for Yinzuo She should also have her own dignity, naturally how can Concubine Rong not fight for the third elder brother, being a woman may have her own thoughts, and being a mother is the same.

So before August 15, the queen mother went back to the palace first, the queen mother, the emperor and the concubine still stayed in Yingtai, the old man was in good health, where there were still so many things for Lan Qi to worry about, she had more time to accompany Xuan Ye, and there were so many palace maids and eunuchs here to watch, and they had to pass the word back to the palace, the women in the palace knew that the emperor and the concubine were getting along day and night in Yingtai, and they were so jealous that they were almost crazy, but they couldn't understand where she was good, and the emperor didn't get tired of seeing her every day.

But such a day is more than half a month, although the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Forbidden City is lively, but the emperor is not in the women still have any fun, seeing that the Double Ninth Festival is over, Hui Concubine saw that Yi Concubine was waiting for the grinding out of patience and haggard, so she took the initiative to come to Chengqian Palace, and asked the concubine to send someone to ask, how the Queen Mother's Double Ninth Festival was celebrated, the meaning of the natural words is that it is time to urge the Holy Driver to come back.

However, Mo said that Concubine Hui came to remind her, Concubine Tong herself was a little unbearable, there were more and more ugly words in the palace, she didn't care that Concubine De was pointed at behind her back, but every time she took her to say, no matter how good her patience was, there were times when she couldn't suppress her anger, so she borrowed Concubine Hui's meaning to send someone to ask An to ask again, but the person who came back only said: "Long live Lord said, discuss again." ”

The two words "re-discussion" made the concubines feel cold, and they had everything to say, saying that they were going to spend the winter in Yingtai, and saying that Long Live Lord was not afraid of the cold and panic in the ice and snow? Even Concubine Wen in Xianfu Palace couldn't help it, when the word "again" came back, she was secretly sad several times at night, and came to Juechan the next day, but looking at Juechan's dead eyes and completely unable to keep up her spirits, she felt that everything was hopeless, and she didn't even care about taking care of the eighth elder brother, and the child was seriously ill before the Double Ninth Festival.

The news of the eighth elder brother's illness will naturally spread to Yingtai, but the sixth elder brother here is uncomfortable, the day before yesterday, the eldest elder brother and the prince came to Yingtai to ask for peace, and played with the younger brother for a long time, and soon after the brothers left, Yinzuo vomited and diarrhea, and the doctor said that he ate something in the wind and caught a cold, and it took two or three days to get better.

Lan Qi took care of her son day and night, very hard, until the day of the Double Ninth Festival, watching the little guy jump around again, only to really breathe a sigh of relief, after bathing and changing, only said that he would go to the Queen Mother to congratulate Chongyang for a while, but he was so tired that he fell asleep, and Huanchun was reluctant to wake her up, and came to take leave without authorization, and the Queen Mother also asked them to take care of them, and said that it didn't matter if it wasn't a holiday.

And the former Prince Yu and Prince Gong all came with Fujin, in the end it is the Double Ninth Festival, I can't help but come to the Queen Mother to pay homage, all kinds of gifts pulled two carts, the grandchildren and grandchildren's lively laughter was dispersed in the afternoon, Fuquan smiled and said to Xuan Ye before leaving: "A few days ago, I took a few brothers-in-law to hunt, hunted a few deer, and took the antler velvet to the hospital so that they could prepare for the imperial grandmother's body, and let the deer blood wine be made, and it was sent with the gift, and the emperor looked back and asked Gonggong Li to ask for it." ”

Xuan Ye laughed at his brother: "That day, I heard from the imperial grandmother that you had accepted a few new Gege, and the family was noisy again, you can take this wine back and drink it yourself, there are so many tigresses in the house, it is enough for you." ”

Fuquan smiled innocently: "It is the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, the hard work is natural, but the beauty is wonderful, and the minister is happy." ”

Regardless of the monarch and minister, of course there are private conversations between their brothers, and it is very pleasant to talk and laugh, but when the brothers leave, Xuan Ye is busy with the matter at hand, and he has long forgotten what deer blood wine is, and the congratulatory gifts sent by Fuquan Changning, he asked Mr. Li to send them to Lan Qi, and let her stay if she likes them, and he doesn't care about the others.

After that, two groups of ministers came, saying that Prince An had gone deep into the hinterland of the Wu army, and taking Wu Shifan's head was just around the corner, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and happily ran to report the good news to the Empress Dowager, and after saying a few words, the old man reminded him: "Go and see Lan Qi, she doesn't seem to be very comfortable." ”

The emperor only remembered that she didn't support Prince Fujin today, and she didn't support her, thinking that she was still taking care of Yinzuo, but she didn't know that she was uncomfortable, and after resigning from the emperor's grandmother, she simply took advantage of the dark to take care of the government affairs, and after nightfall, he told Gonggong Li not to see outsiders again, so he took people to Lanqi's residence.

Before entering the door, I saw the nurse holding Yinzuo out, the nurse's face was a little embarrassed, Yinzuo chattered happily, Xuan Ye teased a few words and let the nurse take it away, but when he was about to enter the door, he saw Huanchun running out without a head, his face was flushed, and he was as uncomfortable as the nurse, Xuan Ye was suspicious, and asked with a little worry: "What's wrong?" ”

"Emperor, Emperor, ......" Huan Chun blushed so much that he dyed his neck, and said the reason, Xuan Ye's eyes widened when he heard it, and he ran in with a smile on his face, and sure enough, he saw people curled up in the gauze tent.

Fang Cai Huanchun said that Lan Qi woke up alone in the evening, feeling that her body was not very comfortable, Huanchun and they were all outside to pack up their things and didn't hear any movement, but her stupid master saw a jar of wine on the table, and actually poured himself two large glasses, and she was about to pour it down when Huanchun came in.

was stopped and asked how to drink this wine, and people stupidly asked why the plum wine was so fishy, she just thought that after Yinzuo had a stomach trouble a few days ago, the doctor sent two jars of plum wine, so that the concubines and palace maids drank to warm their stomachs and prevent diseases, and they were thirsty and cold, so they poured down two large cups. But how did she know that this was the deer blood wine sent by Prince Yu.

Two large glasses of deer blood wine, Lan Qi's body didn't take long to react, it was uncomfortable to burn all over her body, what to do and what to do, of course Huanchun understood, but where did they dare to invite the emperor, the nurse was also startled when she came with the sixth elder brother, but she had experienced personnel, and after a few words, she hugged the sixth elder brother to leave, but went out and bumped into the emperor, and Huanchun was so worn that he couldn't come to the nurse for help again, so he bumped into the holy car.

The door of the dormitory was tightly closed, Xuan Ye took off his coat casually, lifted the gauze tent, the person on the bed curled up very uncomfortable, noticed that someone came in, and trembled in a panic, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Xuan Ye, the panic in his eyes suddenly dissipated, tenderness and sweetness rushed out, and the soft body stretched out, and he was tired of it unconsciously.

Xuan Ye touched her body, and sure enough, her whole body was hot, her delicate skin seemed to have been roasted on the fire, her tentacles warmed her heart, and a faint smell of wine came to her face, with the temptation of deer blood, and Lan Qi's tormented body couldn't hold it anymore, and she pestered him with tears and coquettishness, but Xuan Ye pretended to be calm and asked her, "What's wrong?" I'm going to talk to you well. ”
