Hurriedly glanced at the sky outside the window, it was dark and couldn't guess the time, she had been so idle and in a daze after a simple dinner, thinking about whether she could see Xuan Ye tonight, and then seeing that there were no outsiders in the house at the moment, she hurriedly got up and put on her shoes, and was not in a hurry to salute, so she pulled people in first and asked him, "Has the emperor had dinner?" ”

Xuan Ye nodded: "Use it with the prince." There was a faint smell of wine as he spoke, Lan Qi asked if he had drunk wine, so he turned around and went to the door, and asked him to take hot water to cook the decanting soup, while Xuan Ye sat there in a daze, everything was at the mercy of Lan Qi, and the warm decanting soup was also slowly drunk by Lan Qi's hand, he was not drunk, he just didn't want to do anything.

After serving and drinking the sobering soup, he couldn't sleep for a while, Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye who was in a daze left and right, and wanted to coax him to laugh, but he said against his will: "Is it really here to get the half of the silver, you wait a while, and the concubine will give it to you." ”

Xuan Ye nodded, and finally spoke: "First tell me to count how much, don't let you give me less." ”

"But ......" Lan Qi is willing to give up.

"You promised to give it to me during the day." The smile in Xuan Ye's eyes gradually brightened, and the candlelight in the room seemed to be brighter.

Lan Qi turned around with a twist, as if she was really going to dig out the small treasury, but suddenly a spirit, Huan Huanxi ran back and said: "The emperor has nowhere to spend the silver when he takes it, how dare the concubine say it to you, but all kinds of people come in and out of the Qianqing Palace, it is inconvenient to put so much money, the concubine will keep you in the Yonghe Palace, when will you spend money, and then ask the concubine to take it." ”

Xuan Ye smiled deeply: "When will I be able to spend my own money." ”

Lan Qiwaner: "When you took me out for a walk in the past, do you remember the little girl who slammed the door?" ”

How could Xuan Ye not remember, but he said: "You gave me those big tickets, and I can't take other beautiful young girls to go shopping on the streets, or you will give me twenty or thirty taels of broken silver first?" ”

Lan Qi pouted slightly, she was talking about beautiful and sweet memories, people had to use young people to respond to themselves, but they knew that it was a joke, and they were angry and measured, just wanted to say a few words of coquettishness, seeing Xuan Ye raise her hand and open her arms slightly, she couldn't help but walk up, Xuan Ye hugged her around her waist, her cheeks were pressed under her chest, and the center of gravity of the big man's body was almost pressed on her alone, Lan Qi involuntarily hugged Xuan Ye's head.

"What's wrong?" As if she had always coaxed her sons, she was coaxing the man she loved at the moment, but Xuan Ye gently rubbed her cheeks and said nothing, as if she was really drunk, Lan Qi said gently, "If you are sleepy, go to bed early, and it is not too early to ask the hour just now." ”

But Xuan Ye still didn't speak, for a long time Lan Qi felt that his back was too sore to support it, he smiled and wanted to coax the person in his arms to sit well, his fingers slid to his cheeks, and he felt that his hands were scary, and he panicked and carefully touched his forehead and neck, and immediately called out to people to come and ask them to declare the imperial doctor. Well, the emperor is sick.

That night, Lan Qi didn't sleep, guarding Xuan Ye with a high fever, the emperor did not go to court the next day due to illness, Lan Qi lay beside him in a daze, and the person who was awake told Qianqingmen to listen to the government as usual, but the prince came to the court, and when she woke up in a daze, she couldn't straighten her waist because she had been sitting all night, but was dragged to bed by Xuan Ye and wanted to rub her waist. She nervously touched Xuan Ye's head, it was indeed no longer hot, and seeing that her eyes were clear and clear, she finally made up her mind, and she couldn't care about how embarrassed her face was at the moment after all night, and asked with concern: "Why do you have a fever, and you are scaring me again." ”

Xuan Ye smiled gently: "Probably the fire in my heart has dispersed, and now it is dispersed cleanly, and it is getting better quickly." ”

Lan Qi didn't move, just said: "Then take a good rest for a few days, there are always one or two minor illnesses every year, and this year I really can't avoid it." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "In this way, I can justifiably be coquettish with you, and I will rest here for a few days."

When Lan Qi saw him like this, she knew that it was really fine, so she was disgusted: "Don't you feel sorry for me being tired of serving you, and I don't have the spirit I used to have now." ”

Before the words fell, a little eunuch was talking outside the screen and had something to say, Lan Qi wanted to get out of bed, Xuan Ye whispered that they would not come in, and asked what was the matter, and the person outside: "The prince asks to see him outside the gate of Yonghe Palace, and he wants to tell the emperor about listening to the government." ”

Xuan Ye asked, "Let's just say that I fell asleep." ”

Lan Qi sat up straight silently, raised her hand to brush her sideburns, and looked back inadvertently, but saw that the smile in Xuan Ye's eyes was clean, and she was very serious and dignified when she mentioned the prince, she understood in her heart, and didn't ask any more questions. It's just that soon there will be the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother who came to ask for help, and the other elder brothers are not yet convenient to go to Yonghe Palace, and the fourth elder brother is free to enter and exit, but today he also has to be informed before deciding whether to come in, and it is not surprising that all the princes are blocked.

Before noon that day, I saw several ministers, Suo Etu, Mingzhu, Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, etc. in front of the holy car, Lan Qi avoided most of the day in the side hall, and the monarch and ministers spoke for a long time before they dispersed, and when Huan Chun came to ask the master to go back to serve the emperor, he told her softly: "The slave maid heard a few words, like at the end of this year, the affairs of the court must be supervised by the prince, and the emperor will do two things next, take care of your body, and give the queen mother a birthday." ”

Lan Qi was afraid of meeting some foreign minister when she went out, so she stood in front of the mirror with a dignified appearance and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Huanchun said: "The door of the palace is open, and the emperor said so, so generous, people waiting outside can hear it." ”

Lan Qi thought of yesterday's incident, she didn't have time to figure out what Xuan Ye did with the prince in Kunning Palace, and returned to Qianqing Palace to talk to her son about what she said, the illness is really urgent, although it is the most important thing to recuperate, but now the affairs of the imperial court have become too urgent? Maybe the fourth elder brother is outside, and he is still looking forward to knowing something from Eniang, but Lan Qi doesn't know anything.

Huan Chun said again: "A few ladies are going to come to serve the sick, and the concubine Niangniang also sent someone to ask, so that you can speak when you need her." ”

Lan Qi touched the placket of her clothes and walked out, instructing: "I should go and report to the concubine, and the queen mother, you let them prepare a sedan chair." But I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out of the house if I went to see Xuan Ye, so I simply had to go out first, leaving Huanchun to take care of the emperor, she went to Ningshou Palace and Chuxiu Palace, as for Concubine Rong, knowing that people are here, the care on the scene is inevitable, but she won't really rush over to intervene, so from that day on, the emperor stayed in Yonghe Palace under the pretext of recuperation.

But a few days later, the emperor took Tong Guifei and several other harems to Changchun Garden to recuperate, and all the affairs in the court were handed over to the crown prince and several important ministers, the emperor ignored them in Changchun Garden, and it was the first time he saw such a scene in the nearly forty years since he ascended the throne, and now the prince is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he has long been able to take charge of himself.

In the Forbidden City, in order to organize the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Concubine Rong and Concubine De did not drive to Changchun Garden, Lan Qi was also very tired after a few days, after the emperor moved to Changchun Garden, Concubine Rong waited for her to rest all day before seeing people, and couldn't help but care: "Don't fall down again, you have to do it well, the Queen Mother is already talking, is it too flamboyant to hold a birthday banquet for her, which makes the Bodhisattva unhappy." ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother is too considerate of us." ”

Concubine Rong couldn't suppress her curiosity, and couldn't help asking: "Long live Lord has been lying on the ground for a few days with a fever this time, far less heavy than when he was sick in previous years, why did he suddenly leave state affairs behind?" You don't know, in those days, the gate of your Yonghe Palace was closed, and everyone outside was crazy, and I couldn't wait to rush into Yonghe Palace to see what was going on, and I wanted to know what the emperor was thinking. ”

Lan Qi said coldly: "What is there to worry about, the emperor is here, the prince is here, and there is no chaos." ”

Concubine Rong tried again and again: "The emperor said nothing to you." ”

Lan Qi sighed: "Sister also knows that the emperor met the prince in Kunning Palace that day, what I heard is that the emperor remembered Empress Hesheri and Empress Niu Hulu, and sighed that the years were in a hurry, and that the prince had grown up, and happened to be infected with wind and cold. ”

These words are almost no different from those spread outside, and now Concubine De is over forty years old, and she can still say that she charmed the lord twenty years earlier, this age The emperor is greedy for beauty, and he will not covet her, this time there is no criticism of Yonghe Palace, and the emperor did not live long, so he took the young and beautiful to Changchun Garden.

Concubine Rong saw that she couldn't find anything else out of Lan Qi's mouth, so she didn't say anything more for fear of upsetting her by doing too much. However, Lan Qi didn't mean to hide anything from Concubine Rong, even when the fourth elder brother came to ask for peace, she still said that.

Xuan Ye's sadness was soaked in the breath of his eyes, holding her like that without saying a word, everything was engraved into her heart, how should she use words to express the emperor's sadness at that moment, and the helplessness of holding her hand for a long time in the next few days? So even Yinzhen asked him what happened to Huang Ama, and Lan Qi only said that he was ill ordinarily.

And the emperor since he went to Changchun Garden, it is said that the days there are light and light, and he occasionally sees the prince and several important ministers, almost does not ask about the government, and at the end of September, he did "Longevity Without Borders", and sent the fourth elder brother to the palace that day, to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take a screen to send, and the emperor should transcribe it by hand, and congratulate the birthday of the Queen Mother when she was in the autumn.

The fourth elder brother came to Yonghe Palace to visit his mother, because he went to see Huang Ama, he came to tell Eniang: "Huang Ama is very good, better than in autumn, that time to see Huang Ama, always tired, now refreshed." Huang Ama also rode horses and archery every once in a while, and several uncles and brothers in the clan took turns to go to Changchun Garden to accompany them. ”

Lan Qi just listened with a gentle smile, and told her son to send the screen over carefully, but her son asked, "What do you have to say, do you want your son to bring it to Huang Ama?" ”

She thought for a moment and smiled, "Just say I'm fine." ”
