"The emperor has a look at the little brother?" Seeing that Xuan Ye was a little unable to come back to her senses, Mama Su Mala knew that her mood was fluctuating too much and she couldn't ease it for a while, so she was distressed and emotional, and led him into the main hall to sit.

Not long after, a nursing mother came with a little brother in her arms, the gray and red baby's skin was wrinkled, her eyes were tightly closed and she couldn't see what it looked like, but the tip of her nose was shaped like Lan Qi, and her mumbling mouth was gathered a little, and she didn't know who she looked like, Xuan Ye finally smiled and asked Mama: "This child is more like Lan Qi?" ”

Mama just laughed: "It's all like it." ”

He didn't dare to hug more, for fear of hurting the child, and when the nurse took it again, he asked his grandmother again: "Is Lan Qi okay, is she awake?" Why don't you wake her up, in case ......"

"The imperial doctor said that the concubine herself has a good foundation and can afford to endure hardships, although the imperial doctor and the stable woman are scared half to death, but the mother herself survived. But I survived, but I suffered a lot, and the slave and maid were distressed. Mama but the more she talked, the more moved she became, just now looking at Lan Qi's desperate appearance, she was no longer the person who pulled herself to say that she missed her mother when she gave birth at the beginning of the year before last, she was sweet and soft on weekdays, and she looked at the gentle and lovely people who were happy all day long, and she also had such amazing courage and courage, and she said to herself very firmly that she would definitely be born.

"If the slave and maid say more, the emperor should not be angry." Mama branched out of the people on the side again, and whispered to Xuan Ye, "The emperor will definitely love Concubine Niangniang more in the future, but a woman is too sad to give birth to a child, and Concubine Niangniang has a sixth elder brother after giving birth to the fourth elder brother for half a year, although it is a blessing that only the mother has a good body, but no matter how good the body is, it can't withstand the toss, and when the emperor feels sorry for the mother in the future, he will be more careful." ”

Xuan Ye blushed slightly, Mama is the person who has taken care of him since he was a child, so he naturally said these words, but the young emperor will inevitably be shy, and he lowered his head and smiled: "I know." ”

Mama was pleased, and reminded: "What does the emperor not reward?" And the name of the little brother should also be decreed, right? You are busy here, the slave and maid are going to Cining Palace to resume their lives, and the Empress Dowager must be in a hurry. ”

Xuan Ye then remembered his grandmother, and hurriedly said: "I will sit for a while, and if she wakes up and wants to say a few words through the door, Mama can rest assured that I will not go in, and I will also go to Cining Palace to say hello to the imperial grandmother in a while." ”

Mama was very relieved, and left two capable palace maids, when she went out and walked through the Chengqian Palace, she saw that the concubine was leading the fourth elder brother to come out, the fourth elder brother staggered and walked very well, Mama stepped forward and saluted, Tong Guifei only smiled: "The sun is good, the palace leads the fourth elder brother out for a walk and basks in the sun." ”

Mama listened, please concubine and the fourth elder brother go first, she stood in place and looked at the back of the mother and son leaving, sighed in her heart, if the concubine led the fourth elder brother to Yonghe Palace at this moment, the emperor would be happy, why did she have to sit high in the clouds, that is, she asked herself how Yonghe Palace was, but the people who lived next to each other stayed out of the matter like this, if they were seen by the emperor, they might not be chilled.

This good mood was slightly affected, Mama returned to Cining Palace to resume her life, the master and servant were together for a few years, the Empress Dowager looked at her and knew what else was hidden, worried that Lan Qi was not good for them to hide herself, and asked again and again, Mama said: "The slave maid is thinking about Concubine Tong, today Yonghe Palace is so big a movement, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui have sent palace maids to keep an eye on it, but the concubine Niangniang lives on the side, just ignore it, when the slave and maid come back, I saw her leading the fourth elder brother to bask in the sun, and clearly watched the slave maid come out of Yonghe Palace, I don't even ask. The slave is worried that the concubine will make the emperor unhappy sooner or later, and the emperor may not let go of it so far, if something really happens, it will disappoint the kindness of the concubine and the child, and it will be boring to rob the child. ”

The Empress Dowager was not very happy, but after thinking quietly for a while, she still comforted her and said: "Xuan Ye is indeed worried about this matter, but I can trust Lan Qi, since she wants to give the child to the concubine, she will never let the emperor come back, and there is nothing wrong with the peace of the wife at the moment, it is better for the concubine to focus on the child than to toss around like before." ”

Mama saw that the master was resolute, and no longer thought nonsense, smiled and asked the Empress Dowager to reward something, not long after there was news outside, saying that the sixth elder brother gave the name Yinzuo, and sure enough, in less than an hour, there were relatives and old ministers who asked to see the Empress Dowager, Su Mala Mama all blocked the car, and invited them to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the emperor, saying that the emperor was not the emperor for a long time, and he didn't want to bother Cining Palace for everything.

Xuan Ye was also prepared to be asked by the courtiers for the child's name, and after leaving the Yonghe Palace, he had no time to come to see his grandmother, so he went straight to the Qianqing Palace to talk to several ministers behind closed doors, and it didn't take long to suppress the limelight, after all, he was not the first emperor, he had the prince of the East Palace, this "Zuo" word means more or blessing, as for the other meaning, and depending on what people think, naturally he and the Empress Dowager have concerns about the succession to the throne.

And when the child has a name, the weak mother is still asleep, Lan Qi slept until the evening sunset was red, woke up soft and weak, and her brain was also blank, and the body after severe pain seemed to be reborn again, looking at Huanchun in front of the window blankly, people called her several times before she finally woke up, and the first sentence asked: "What about the child?" ”

She knew that she had a difficult birth, and the courage and efforts at that time were now very blurred, and she could hardly remember whether she had given birth to this child, but she remembered that she had used her last strength to fall into the boundless darkness, and now she was just suddenly turning back from the darkness to the world.

"Little brother is in the cradle, sleeping well." Huan Chun turned to the side and pointed back, "Little brother is very healthy, don't worry, master, but you yourself are too weak, you have to take care of it." ”

Lan Qi asked her to take the cushion and sit up on her own, her soft body was weak, and then she couldn't hold a bowl when she drank water and medicine, she was in a good spirit, and she kept looking at the cradle not far away and smiled, hoping that the child would wake up, so that she could hold her over.

But at night, when the sixth elder brother finally woke up and cried and breastfeeding, his mother fell asleep again, and the mother and son could not see each other well, fortunately, Lan Qi recovered very well after sleeping for a day and a night, and finally had the strength to hold Yinzuo in his arms the next afternoon, but this hug, the person who had been strong suddenly cried, and at that time Su Mala Mama came, and when she saw this scene, she knew that she missed the fourth elder brother.

The nurse fed the milk and coaxed her to sleep, and the grandmother asked her to put the cradle next to the bed so that the concubine could watch at any time, and when the irrelevant people retreated, the grandmother comforted her: "It's good that the sixth elder brother can stay by your side for a long time, and the fourth elder brother also has a concubine Niangniang to take care of her wholeheartedly, don't be sad, tears in the confinement are not good for your eyes." ”

Lan Qi was only moved for a while, remembering that twelve days after giving birth to Yinzhen, she and the child got along day and night, thinking that Yinzhen had eaten her mother's milk, so she couldn't help crying. And this time she gave birth to Yinzuo, the next day she still had no milk, and I don't know if the medicine for returning milk after the first birth was bad, or it was too hurtful during childbirth, even the nurse said that it was difficult to have, this child who could be raised by her side, but she couldn't eat her mother's milk, she was even more sad, and this was a violation of the rules, she couldn't say it yet.

Mama said: "Niang Niang take care of it for a month or two, and when the spring flowers bloom, the Queen Mother has been thinking about the flowers and plants in the garden, and when the time comes, she will accompany the Queen Mother to live in the garden for a while, where it is clean and more suitable for recuperation." ”

Lan Qi smiled softly: "Leave the emperor in the palace?" ”

Mama had fewer scruples with her, and got closer and said intimately: "Niangniang naturally wants to serve the emperor, but this half a year and a year, you have to be careful, in order to be good for a long time, not to mention that this time it is a difficult birth, and it is not okay not to raise your body well." ”

Lan Qi's face was flushed, and she could hear a sentence or two of ugly words when she was pregnant, but she really didn't go out to serve Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye also cherished her more than anyone else, how could she want her to hold her stomach and be close to herself, she worked hard with her child for most of the past half a year, and Xuan Ye's patience was also hard, but now Mama wants to take care of her body by herself, and she can't help but feel sorry for Xuan Ye, and she is a little more cautious, nesting in Mama's arms and smirking.

It's just that there is one more thing in her heart that she can't fully understand after all, and Xuan Ye's words have also avoided the most important meaning, and after gossiping with her grandmother for a long time, Lan Qi still can't help but ask.

When Su Mala heard about asking the name of the sixth elder brother, she also knew that Concubine De would not understand this word if she had read a lot of books under the guidance of the emperor over the years, and when she saw that there was no one around, she said softly: "The slave maid should not have said these words, so you have forgotten it after hearing it, don't keep it in your heart." ”

Lan Qi listened to Mama's explanation in a daze, and realized that she was still too immature, how could she not have imagined that although there was a prince in Yuqing Palace, he was still a child, even if he grew up in the future, he didn't know what he would encounter, if one day the prince was gone, the royal inheritance would have to choose a newcomer, and Xuan Ye ......

"You don't have to worry about these things, your responsibility is to serve the emperor and the prince well, there are a few ladies in the palace who can take these things on themselves, but if you are entangled like that, you can't do what you should do well, and what you shouldn't do is a mess, and in the end, I'm afraid that nothing will be left." Mama Su Mala told Lan Qi earnestly, "Niangniang's mind should be long, but how she lived in the past and how she will live in the future, the same thing the slave maid has said to others, but they are not restrained." You must know that your man is the monarch of the world. ”

Lan Qi nodded vigorously, she just thought of the pride of the Xuanye monarch and emperor, so she did not refuse the name "Yinzuo", and now Mama dialed it a little, and her heart is even more open and clear, she has always accepted the eccentric favor of the Empress Dowager and Xuanye, not that she is not humble and arrogant, she just doesn't want to live up to the hearts of others, why can't she stand her innocence, where does she want to put the hearts of the people who take care of her? As for what irrelevant people think of her, she doesn't care.

On the third day after giving birth, the sixth elder brother washed the third, and the queen mother also went to see the little princess wash the third in the old year, but this time she did not come to Yonghe Palace, but the queen mother came with the fifth elder brother, and the concubines dared to come to join in the fun.

The fifth elder brother is only two months old, and there is not much difference between the brothers when they are put together, the queen mother is very happy, and said to Lan Qi: "They are grown up on one side, and they must be closer than other brothers, you don't always hide the sixth elder brother in Yonghe Palace, let their brothers be together more." ”

"The concubine is stingy, if the queen mother is partial to the fifth elder brother in the future, the concubine will not bring the sixth elder brother to play." Lan Qi grinned, and was reproached by the Queen Mother and said, "I'll take the sixth elder brother away, see if you are still stingy." ”

The mother and son said that they couldn't laugh, and the Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine came in outside, saying that the Queen Mother would not go over to eat after setting up the table, and the others did not dare to move the chopsticks, the Queen Mother said that she had no appetite, and she was full when she looked at the two children, and Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine coaxed a few words and couldn't do it, Lan Qi begged them to greet others for themselves, and then they withdrew.

When she went out, Concubine Rong gently pulled Concubine Rong and asked in a low voice, "My sister looked at the two children just now, and she seemed to be in a bad mood." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just emotion." Concubine Rong straightened the bloodstone strings hanging on her chest, lowered her head and said, "I have closed the ghost door again and again, leaving Yinzhi and Rong Xian together, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future, and I feel a little bad in my heart." ”

Concubine Duan supported her and said: "Sister is already a good blessing, although I shouldn't say these words, but Concubine De's blessing is too strong, I don't know what kind of physique she can bear for a while, let's not think about it like this, I'm afraid that if I press it down, there will be nothing." ”

Concubine Rong nodded and said, "That's not the case, it's not the same person, she was born with a rich life." ”

When she spoke, Concubine Hui came over from the front and said with a smile: "The sisters are all in a hurry, saying that you went to invite the Queen Mother, why didn't you come yourself, and let me come to take a look, they are all waiting to eat and drink." ”

"What should I do if I eat and drink in broad daylight and get drunk and look foreign?"

A few people talked and laughed in the past, no matter what the relationship between each other is now, there is always politeness on the face, today to congratulate the sixth elder brother to wash the three, the queen mother gave the banquet, Hui Concubine, Rong Concubine as the head, the rest of the nobles often come a lot in the promise, Bu Gui and Dai promised to always be the guests of Yonghe Palace, of course today is also listed, and Dai promised to have a body is even more expensive, and An Guiren will come They didn't expect it, they rushed to come and Dai promised to set almost, Bu Guiren was sarcastic, and was stopped by Dai Jia's family.

Let's say that the Bu Guiren didn't wait to see Dai Jia's family for a while, but the people An An was pregnant and didn't change her appearance, she was a soft-hearted person, and then listened to Lan Qi's persuasion, and let down her guard and was willing to get close, Zhong Cui Palace is like a family after all, and Yonghe Palace is good, which is the most enviable place in the palace today, think about the useless Wang Mama who disliked Bu Guiren many years ago, and complained that Zhong Cui Palace had a bad time, how did she know that there would be a current situation, it can be seen that the old lady herself is not blessed.

The sisters sat eating, drinking and joking, and someone said during the banquet: "Someone in the garden went to clean it, saying that after the spring is in the spring, the concubine will serve the queen mother and live for a few days." ”

Just said, there were guests outside, Guo Guiren actually came, and hugged the little princess to come together, Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine helped Lan Qi greet the guests, of course, they couldn't be lazy, they went back to the Queen Mother and De Concubine first, and then came to sit down together, Guo Guiren and others can always talk, after a few small talks, they talked about the Queen Mother going to the garden to recuperate, Guo Guiren asked with a smile: "De Concubine Niangniang is waiting?" ”

Someone said: "The news that came out of Cining Palace should not be wrong." ”

Guo Guiren ate the wine in his cup, and his heart turned and turned, Concubine De didn't come back until the summer, and as soon as the fox spirit left, the emperor naturally had to go around the harem, she and her sister were not bad, don't seize such a good opportunity, and wait for the fox spirit to come back and then pester the emperor?

In fact, there are women with such thoughts under the seat, not to mention Guo Guiren, she looked at it casually, all of them had a thoughtful look on her face, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart, thinking that these women didn't weigh themselves, what posture and what ability they had.

Soon in the afternoon, the Queen Mother wanted to take the fifth elder brother back, Guo Guiren wanted to come up and take a look, but the others pushed her behind, and the Queen Mother also said: "You all have eaten wine, go back in the afternoon and don't go out." In this way, everyone could not get together again, and said goodbye to the concubine through the door, and dispersed one after another.

Guo Guiren came back with the princess in his arms, and Juechan promised to be preparing new clothes for Yi Concubine. Since she came to Yikun Palace, although Yi Concubine is still wearing clothes sent from the needlework room, she will occasionally let her make a few beautiful and chic things, these things are not difficult for Jue Chan, and Yi Concubine is always polite, she does not feel wronged, and Guo Guiren looks down on her and doesn't want her to do it, she is also worry-free.

At this moment, Guo Guiren came back and saw her here, naturally he didn't have a good face, and snorted coldly: "Go out immediately." ”

Yi Concubine sighed her sister's temper, smiled and asked her to leave first, Jue Chan packed up her things and retreated to the door, but when she walked under the window, she heard Guo Guiren say in a very good mood: "Sister, our opportunity is coming, I heard that when Wu Ya is out of confinement, he will serve the Empress Dowager to live in the garden, and I am afraid that this stay will come back in the autumn." “

Yi Concubine was obviously surprised: "I didn't hear this, I'm afraid it's a rumor, not to mention that she hasn't served the emperor for so long, and the emperor is willing to do it?" ”

"It's said that it's the news released by Cining Palace, at least it's true that someone in the garden is cleaning, sister, wait a minute, when the fox spirit of the Wu Ya clan leaves, the emperor will only miss you." Guo Guiren was extremely excited, and said, "In my opinion, it must be that she has a serious injury in childbirth this time, and she doesn't dare to serve the long-lived lord if she doesn't raise her well, and she can't raise it all her life, so she won't be able to flatter the emperor." ”

Yi Concubine scolded: "Don't say this again, wait for her to leave, the opportunity must be cherished, you let me think about it." You too, but you have to eat less, put away your waist again, and you still look chubby after giving birth to Kejing. ”

Later, I heard Guo Guiren say that the queen mother did not let her see the matter of the fifth elder brother, Juechan agreed to go back to his own room in the backyard, put everything down, and when he washed his hands, he looked at a new flag dress that had not yet been made on the kang, she wiped her hands and picked up scissors and cut it on her waist, so frightened that the palace maid asked her what to do, Juechan said expressionlessly: "My ruler is smaller than that of Yi Concubine." ”

The spring cold in February faded, and in early March it has begun to warm up and make people lazy, when the concubine was confined, the emperor went to accompany her every three or five days, and everyone looked at it coldly, just waiting for the news that the empress dowager set off to live in the garden, and sure enough, in mid-March, the emperor ordered Prince Yu and Prince Gong to serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to go to the garden to live and recuperate, and in the harem, only sent the concubine Wu Yashi.
