363 The Prince's Dignity (Second Update.)
The eldest brother was in high spirits, and smiled at the great-grandmother: "The grandson has written it down, the great-grandmother, you have to be healthy, and wait for our Fujin to add you a great-great-grandson." β
The Empress Dowager smiled: "This child is really a family person, so he is not ashamed." Cheng, I'll wait, you have to take good care of your daughter-in-law. After that, he sent the eldest brother to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to salute, saying that he should not delay the hour, and at the same time advised, "After leaving the palace, you won't come in, but don't just care about the things ahead, and come to your mother from time to time to say goodbye." β
Although the Empress Dowager doesn't like Concubine Hui, she will not let the eldest brother rebel against common sense in terms of human ethics and filial piety, not to mention that her son belongs to someone else, she will not be there sooner or later, and she can't manage the future now.
After the eldest brother left, there was nothing to do in Cining Palace, because the Empress Dowager was not in good health, and now she didn't let people in the clan come to invite An Daoxi, and the Empress Dowager still insisted on giving Xuan Ye a long face in her early years, or Xuan Ye persuaded her grandmother that everything was about the body, so today's events after the eldest brother's wedding, the banquet in the Elder Brother's Mansion and the banquet in the palace have nothing to do with Cining Palace.
Lan Qi and Su Mala changed the empress dowager's court clothes, the old man freed himself from the shackles, lazily leaned on the kang, watched Lan Qi put away the crown, and laughed softly: "That thing is very heavy, wearing it on the head, and the heart is heavy." β
Lan Qi put the crown into the brocade box, put on the lock, and listened to the Empress Dowager say this, and said with a smile: "It's rare to wear it once, and I can see you in good spirits today." β
"When you wear this thing, you will understand the responsibility in your heart, how can you hold your head high, you can't lose your dignity, you will ...... in the future" The Empress Dowager said halfway, but for some reason did not continue, but sent Lan Qi to Changchun Palace, "The six palaces are all going to join in the fun, you also go to the scene, you have to learn from Concubine Rong, it is not a bad thing to meet the source left and right, I know that you are afraid of Concubine Hui now, but why show your face, just understand it in your heart." β
Mama Su Mala also advised: "Niangniang go and take a look, just watch the excitement, when the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother get married in the future, you will know what to do, the elder brothers grow up, but it is a matter of blinking." β
So Lan Qi is not easy to shirk, first put down the matter of Cining Palace, take Huanchun to Changchun Palace, here is a festive lantern, Baoyun in front of the door saw Concubine De, and even more diligently introduced the door, the palace concubines are there, and they greeted each other, but seeing Concubine Hui sitting on the top, it was the first time in so many years to see her show a nervous look, and all the sisters laughed: "The daughter-in-law will come to see the ceremony tomorrow morning, this mother-in-law is already so nervous that she won't laugh, if she can't suppress her daughter-in-law like this tomorrow, our eldest brother will be taken down by Fujin in the future." β
Concubine Hui blamed everyone for giving her a foreign appearance, and after a while, a word came from the front, saying that the eldest brother came out of Ningshou Palace, and he would go to Qianqing Palace, and it would take some effort to come over, everyone was sitting and talking, I don't know which one could get up, and said that the imperial concubine was accompanying the emperor in the Qianqing Palace at the moment, and all kinds of gossip floated out, and Lan Qi heard the most in her ears, that is, the imperial concubine wanted to be the queen.
For the imperial concubine to enter the middle palace, Lan Qi has always been most confused about what will happen to the fourth elder brother, she doesn't know if the fourth elder brother is considered a concubine, but even if it is nominally, after all, everyone knows that he is still born to Concubine De, and it is embarrassing to mention it.
And she would think like this, and others would also think that from time to time someone secretly glanced at Concubine De while talking, Lan Qi could of course feel that she was being noticed, and Concubine Rong beside her whispered to her: "It's all nonsense, what does it have to do with them?" When they see the imperial concubine one by one, they are like mice seeing cats, and they can only chew their tongues behind their backs. β
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing, raised her eyes to see the first concubine, she sat upright, from time to time touched a handful of pearls on her chest, the pearls were just rewarded by the Empress Dowager yesterday, and they were really shining and very eye-catching, she was always worried that her appearance was not dignified enough, Baoyun had been showing her the mirror, but Lan Qi, these bystanders, it was really difficult to understand Concubine Hui's state of mind at the moment.
Think about yourself, when the fourth elder brother gets married, the identity of his biological mother will inevitably be a little embarrassing, whether the fourth elder brother will come to Yonghe Palace to pay homage at that time, it all depends on the meaning of the imperial concubine, although the thirteenth elder brother's future wedding will inevitably be her master, but in the end it is not her own birth, that feeling must be different. Originally, she had six elder brothers, and she could really manage a wedding for her son in a few years, but now Yinzuo has left her for almost two years, and everything is probably due to the most beautiful one today and the family behind her.
The floating resentment disturbed Lan Qi's mind, how could she think of this, she immediately shook her head to sober herself, and distracted herself by casually saying a few words to Concubine Rong beside her. She promised the Juechan clan that she would leave Concubine Hui to her, and she would keep her distance from her in the future, and let the Juechan clan decide her future. What I need to do is to protect the children stronger than ever.
Half an hour later, the eldest brother finally came from the Qianqing Palace, he was young in the end, and he was not tired after tossing all morning, and he was still radiant when he arrived at his mother, Lan Qi heard Concubine Rong tell her that the eldest brother was taller than the emperor at this age, and he was really stronger from generation to generation.
Lan Qi didn't feel anything when she heard what the Empress Dowager said, but when she heard Concubine Rong say, she was inexplicably a little pantothenic. She had never seen Xuan Ye twelve years ago, and Sister Rong was in front of her, she had some capital to show off, and the Rong nobles in those years were also very favored.
"Look at Concubine Hui, her eyes are wet." Concubine Rong gently pushed Lan Qi, Lan Qi looked over, Concubine Hui was sitting in danger, watching her son kneel two times and bow six times, her eyes gradually reddened, and the crystal thing swirled in it, Baoyun hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, she covered it up a little, it was better.
Think about the princess and princess who died one after another in the early years, how noble her son is, when will the world change, although the eldest brother still has the glory of the eldest son of the emperor, but with the more noble existence of the prince of Yuqing Palace, and then the emperor's favor and affection for the concubines, the status of the princess under the concubines is also very different, the status of the eldest son of the emperor is not as good as before, and everyone understands that Concubine Hui has actually lost power a long time ago, she is just supporting the faΓ§ade and maintaining the dignity of her concubine.
But this time, the eldest brother's wedding was decent and grand, and everything from top to bottom gave Changchun Palace enough face, and Concubine Hui did not necessarily have the glory of today, in the end, she did not work hard in vain, and the status of her son, the eldest son of the emperor, in the emperor's heart, is still extremely important.
Concubine Hui said a few words of instruction, but it was just a big truth on the scene, but she also said it with tears in her eyes, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world, at this moment she is just a woman who is a mother.
Later, when the auspicious time comes, the eldest brother should leave the palace and go to the elder brother's mansion to prepare for the future, and there will be eight colored sedan chairs surrounded by red satin in the palace, and a head of the internal affairs office who is in line with the same age and birthday will be sent to lead 20 subordinate officials, and the other escort staff will lead 40 escorts, who will be responsible for marrying the newlyweds.
These things have been arranged a long time ago, Concubine Hui has also given rich rewards before and after, this auspicious time has come to the eldest brother should go, after today, even if the eldest brother officially leaves the palace to live outside, the mother is not reluctant after all, and he can't care about the rules for a while, and he will be sent all the way outside the Changchun Palace.
The concubines came to see the excitement, but at this moment, someone in front of the door said that the prince was coming.
Others didn't think it was wrong, but Lan Qi inadvertently caught a glimpse of the anger that swept over the eldest brother's face, but this displeasure quickly disappeared, and even Concubine Hui pulled her son with a smile, as if signaling him to calm down with her eyes. Not long after the prince arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, after seeing the concubines, he smiled with Yinyu: "I wanted to go to the Imperial Brother's Mansion today to congratulate me, but Emperor Ama issued an order to let me stay in the palace to accompany the banquet, so I can only go to the Imperial Brother's Mansion another day to congratulate, and I came to send the Imperial Brother." β
Yinyu's eyebrows trembled, he secretly gritted his teeth in his mouth, and bowed to the prince.
Lan Qi raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hui, and in the eyes of the graceful and luxurious woman in court clothes, there was a completely different look from when Fang had just received the salute in the palace, and a chill and murderous aura overflowed, so that people didn't dare to stare at it anymore. And Yinhe had already bowed and stood up, and said with a smile: "When the prince is coming to the mansion, he must say it in advance, so that I can burn incense and set up a case to welcome the master." β
The prince smiled, gentle and elegant, and said to his brother modestly: "Why do you come to say, you and I are brothers and sisters, and they are all the same." Brother Huang is a little Dengke today, and he will have more life experience than me in the future, and we brothers will still have to support each other in the future. β
Lan Qi listened to these words, turned her face and saw Concubine Rong and her eyes, and her heart understood, and then the excitement of Changchun Palace dissipated, and the sisters went to Cining Palace together, Concubine Rong said to her: "The prince is really vigorous." The eldest brother is the most glorious person today, he worshiped his ancestors in the morning, worshiped the queen mother, the queen mother and the emperor, and then came to his mother to salute here, our mother concubines are just watching a lively, but the prince has to come over at this time to confess his dignity, the brother can not not salute when he sees it, although it is not a big gift, but today this knee kneeling, I am the eldest brother, and I can't be angry. β
"Maybe the prince is really kind enough to congratulate, I didn't expect such a small matter, we thought about it too much, they are still children in the end." Lan Qi didn't want to continue this topic, instigating the relationship between the emperor's eldest son and the crown prince would disgust the emperor, although everyone knew that their brothers were not in harmony, but they couldn't talk about it.
But then before the Empress Dowager got up, the old man sighed for no reason, even if he didn't say anything, Lan Qi knew that the Empress Dowager was unhappy.
The excitement in the palace after it has nothing to do with Cining Palace, Concubine Rong explained some things and left, Lan Qi accompanied the Empress Dowager as usual, and someone from the palace came to tell her in the afternoon, saying that Niu Hulu's Fujin Wuya clan had entered the palace, and asked Concubine De if she returned to Yonghe Palace, and the Empress Dowager asked Lan Ying to send Lan Ying directly here, saying that she wanted to appease the child.
Lan Yingla had a small birth in the month, and she was confined in her mother's house until the first month, and she failed to live the first New Year when she married into the Niu Hulu family, but after hearing that after Chinese New Year's Eve, Alinga ran to her father-in-law's house on the evening of New Year's Day and stayed until the third year of junior high school, which shows her love for his wife.
After a long time, when she saw her sister again, the little woman was a lot richer, her red face was full of excellent complexion, and she didn't look like a person who had just experienced pain, which made Lan Qi very relieved, and even the Queen Mother said: "You sisters are born with the same blessings, and only those who are happy can be blessed. β
