In the West Garden, Li Fang Fujin, who was dressed in a fancy costume, wandered in front of the door, and had long heard that her husband and Fu Jin had returned, and Fu Jin had told her before that when the fourth elder brother came back, he would live in the West Garden when he entered the door, and she would have to take care of her in the days to come. This is a great thing that Li can't think of, he was so excited last night that he didn't sleep all night, and he got up early in the morning and waited for this moment, but he didn't see Yinzhen come over for a long time.

was anxious, so he sent the close maid Qiaozhu to ask, Qiaozhu came back for a long time, and Li Fangfujin asked anxiously: "The fourth elder brother and Fujin haven't entered the door yet?" ”

Qiaozhu frowned and said: "When the slave and maid passed, there was a mess in front of the door, and I saw the fourth elder brother picking up Fujin from the ground and running to the main courtyard, the slave and maid asked the people on the side, only to know that the fourth elder brother had already come to our Xiyuan, but Fujin suddenly fainted in a good manner, and some people said that it was bleeding, which didn't hurt anything, what kind of blood was shed, and the slave didn't see blood on the ground." ”

But Li Fang Fujin was a person from the past, and when he heard these words, he sat on the chair in a daze, and muttered: "Is it possible that Fujin has it?" ”

In the deep palace, the emperor went directly back to the Qianqing Palace after asking the Queen Mother for peace, and left the palace for so long, whether it was the affairs of the court or the affairs after the Mobei War, he was in a hurry to deal with them, and he began to supervise them one by one on the way back to Beijing, and he was not idle for a moment. The concubines saw that the emperor had no intention of coming to the harem, so there was nothing lively to see, but they knew that the news came in from outside the palace, even if the people in Yonghe Palace were low-key, and the others were fresh and rare enough, and when Lan Qi heard the good news, it had already spread in the palace.

I never thought that my daughter-in-law, who had always been weak, would become pregnant.

In the summer, I heard Qinglian say that Yuxi gave up on herself, and later after being persuaded by her mother and appeased by Yinzhen, even if she didn't toss, she no longer took the decoction that regulates the body and is conducive to sitting in the fetus, Lan Qi was not unhappy about this, she also hoped that Yuxi could live an easier life, but therefore she would not expect Yuxi to be pregnant, but she didn't expect that at that time, God finally gave them the child.

When the Queen Mother learned the news, she immediately sent the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of Sifujin, and called Lan Qi to Ningshou Palace, blaming her for being careless, obviously looking forward to the child being pregnant, but she was so confused, Lan Qi blamed herself for the Queen Mother, and waited in Ningshou Palace to wait for the imperial doctor sent to return, I heard that although Yuxi was red, there was no major problem, and the days after that were good to be maintained, and the fetus could be saved. And there is no discomfort in the early days of the four blessings, which is also a blessing. The date should be the end of March and the beginning of April next year.

"It's okay now, the children are happy, you don't have to worry about it, I said that their little couple is blessed, and it's true." The queen mother was very happy, and told Lan Qi to care more about her granddaughter-in-law in the future, and asked the grandmothers around her to prepare a lot of rewards and send them to the fourth elder brother's mansion in a hurry.

Later that day, Qinglian came into the palace and said that the fourth elder brother wanted to be by Fujin's side, and he would not come to say hello to Niangniang in person for the time being, and sent her to tell her some things.

But hearing the details after they entered the door, Lan Qi couldn't help asking, "Yinzhen originally planned to go to Xiyuan?" ”

Qinglian nodded, and said helplessly: "Slave maid look, it seems that the fourth elder brother promised Fu Jin to get closer to Li Fang Fujin, Fu Jin must have arranged this way so that Li Fang Fujin can have another child for the fourth elder brother, after all, on weekdays, the fourth elder brother almost does not go to Xiyuan, and it is rare to see Song Gege." ”

"It's really hard for that kid." Lan Qi sighed, remembering the previous entanglement between the Li family and the Song family, so she told Qinglian, "These days, I have been watching them closely, don't let them cause trouble, and never hurt Yuxi." ”

At this time, someone from Qianqing Palace came and said that the emperor would go to Yonghe Palace to rest for a while, and asked Concubine De Niangniang to make some preparations, Lan Qi asked Qinglian to go back early, arrange dinner for the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, and urge them to study their homework, Wen Chen was already in Ningshou Palace with her sister, she didn't have to worry.

After that, he was sitting in front of the mirror platform and dressing up a little, but Lu Zhu ran in angrily and said, "Don't wait, Niangniang, long live the Lord to go to Yikun Palace." ”

Huanchun was still holding a hairpin in his hand, and he was angry for a while: "Why did you go to Yikun Palace?" ”

Lu Zhu hated and said: "Let Concubine Yi Niangniang intercept it halfway, Concubine Yi Niangniang, she really did it, leading Princess Wen Ke and waiting on the emperor's only way, if she is herself, Princess Wen Ke is here, the emperor can't shake his face in front of the princess, the little princess begged a few times, can the emperor not agree?" ”

Lan Qi sat in front of the mirror, looked at the green beads and Huanchun in the mirror who were so angry that their faces were crooked, and smiled bitterly: "In a year, seventy or eighty percent of the days when I go to the harem are here, if I and Concubine Yi worry about this time, others will only say that I am not." That's it, Gai Ming'er is always coming, but let's work in vain. ”

But Huanchun was happy for Sifujin, looking forward to saying hello to the emperor, but now he can't see the emperor, and he is so angry that he rarely says anything out of proportion, and he actually accuses Concubine Yi without scruples: "I know that there is a happy event today, and the emperor is also looking forward to being happy with you. The emperor went out to return to the palace, and he has always been here with us, and the people in the Yikun Palace don't know if they can serve well. ”

"Okay, you guys can rest, if the emperor doesn't come, we'll be more comfortable." Lan Qi didn't want to listen to these words, if she said that she was not disappointed, it would definitely be false, but they were all in their thirties, and it was very boring to be jealous and jealous about this kind of thing, Xuan Ye was resting wherever he went, and Concubine Yi was also his wife and concubine, and whoever took care of it was the same.

After the night deepened, I didn't hear that the emperor was going to come out of Yikun Palace, Lan Qi didn't look forward to it, Huanchun calmed down at night, came to serve her to wash, and deliberately said something about Sifujin to make the master happy, mentioning that Lanqi was very partial to Sifujin, almost ignoring the two side rooms, and the thoughts of loving Fujin caught up with the empress dowager who loved Niangniang.

Lan Qi smiled and asked, "That's how you see it?" In fact, I know that many of the things I say to Yuxi now are what the former Empress Dowager said to me in the past, and it would be nice if it could really be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Huanchun said happily: "It's easy for Fujin to have this child, God must give a little emperor grandson, and our Fujin will definitely be a gentle and good mother-in-law in the future." ”

One word aroused Lan Qi's worries, not saying it on her face, but she laughed at herself in her heart and was too worried, but the fact had to be faced, if Yuxi gave birth to a girl, I don't know how her daughter-in-law would look at it, she hoped that Yuxi could let go of those burdens, even if in the past few years, she can follow Yinzhen more freely, and it is a blessing to have children, and if she doesn't, she has to face it calmly. But Queen Xiaoyi planted a terrible seed in the child's heart, which took root and sprouted year after year, and it could not be changed.

That night, the emperor really spent the night in Yikun Palace, and the people in the palace knew about these things the next day, and they were also embarrassed, but Concubine Yifei was proud and didn't care about other people's eyes, and she became more and more proud of her youth, and she didn't take others in her eyes at all.

A few high-ranking people in the palace don't count, and the lowly ones are not qualified to argue with Concubine Yi, and after a few days, just watching Concubine Yi entangle the emperor, the emperor doesn't seem to be particularly annoying, anyway, he can deal with it, and if he doesn't want to ignore it, he will ignore it, and then because he is really busy, he simply won't enter the harem.

But at the end of September, the emperor held a banquet to reward the three armies, Xuan Ye served the queen mother, and the harem concubines also participated with the princess and elder brother.

Before the opening of the banquet, the meritorious deeds were rewarded, after the opening of the banquet took turns to be lively, all the elder brothers gathered together to talk about the expedition, the young men were full of vigor, Lan Qi accompanied the Queen Mother to watch, the Queen Mother said to her gently: "It's a pity that the emperor didn't see this scene, if she can see all this, how happy she should be." In the early years, I was worried that the emperor had no heirs under his knees, and I still remember the worried appearance of the emperor's mother. ”

Lan Qi couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, so she could only comfort the queen mother: "So you have to take good care of yourself, wait to see the emperor and grandson grow up, and talk to you like this." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't dislike me, it's okay to be annoying when I'm old." ”

As she spoke, Lan Qi inadvertently swept her gaze over the prince's seat, and when she saw the crown princess pulling the prince, Yinren glared at her impatiently, and the princess's red lips moved slightly and she didn't know what to say, but the expression on the prince's face quickly changed.

Lan Qi didn't dare to look at it more, and soon after hearing the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother excitedly talking about their joint efforts to fight against Galdan's subordinates, everyone listened to it with relish and emotion, and she unconsciously turned her eyes to look at the prince, and sure enough, she saw that the prince had a little hatred in his eyes, and that look made people look at it, as if they were full of unwillingness.

Looking at the elder brothers at the table talking, whether it is the older elder brother or the younger seventh elder brother and eight elder brothers, they can interject a few words, talking about things on the battlefield, all of them have bright eyes, this royal child, looking at it makes people feel reliable and hopeful. But the crown prince could not interject, no matter what the brothers said, he was always curious and dazed, at first he laughed a few times, and then became more and more dull, and did not say anything.

After the celebration banquet was dispersed that day, Yinzhen sent the Queen Mother back to Ningshou Palace with her mother. When the mother and son came back alone, Lan Qi asked her son if he thought there was anything strange at the banquet tonight, Yin Zhen said that he didn't know, Lan Qi wanted his son to go to Yonghe Palace to talk to him, but Yin Zhen first said that he was going home to see Yuxi, and the mother had to agree, thinking that it was not a big deal, and it didn't matter if she said it a few days later.

Yinzhen said goodbye to his mother, and took Xiaohezi to the outside of the palace, the lantern in Xiaohezi's hand went out halfway, they stopped on the side of the road, waiting for Xiaohezi to light the lantern, and didn't find it for a while, just wanted to open his mouth to urge, there were hurried footsteps in front of him, Yinzhen looked up inadvertently, under the dim moonlight, the figure was familiar to him, and he saw that it was the prince.
