Xuan Ye said perfunctorily: "The grandson will go to see the concubine, don't worry about the imperial grandmother." When he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Qi, and saw that she was quietly on the side as if she hadn't listened to these words at all, and then left her grandmother, and was going to send her back to Yonghe Palace in person, but Lan Qi persuaded, "The emperor should go back to the Qianqing Palace first, didn't Gonggong Li say that a group of ministers are waiting to see you?" The concubine is in good health, this time she is pregnant, she is not uncomfortable at all, don't worry. ”

Xuan Ye said: "I thought, when I was at the top of the Bodhisattva, I saw you stunned, and I wanted to ask you what's wrong, but because of the etiquette, I can't talk to you closely, I was going to look for you on the way back, but Yinren pestered you all the way, and now I go back to the palace, I can always say it." ”

Lan Qi tilted her head and smiled, "What is the concubine thinking at the top of the Bodhisattva?" I really can't remember this time, I was startled by the tiger, and now my mind is full of the tiger. ”

Xuan Ye was not in a hurry, and helped her into the soft sedan chair: "There are days, you think slowly, I will come to ask you later." ”

The two told each other a few words, and then dispersed in front of the gate of Cining Palace, Lan Qi's sedan chair walked leisurely towards Yonghe Palace, and when passing in front of the gate of Chengqian Palace, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Huanchun's voice said happily: "Niangniang, come down." ”

Lan Qi thought that she had arrived, and when she got off the sedan chair, she found that it was here in Chengqian Palace, but when she saw a pair of children in front of the door being led by a nursing mother and waiting, the smaller one immediately ran over and shouted delicately: "Eniang." Huanchun hurriedly blocked it, and said with a smile, "The sixth elder brother can't hit Eniang, Eniang has a little doll in her belly." ”

Yinzuo listened to it, I don't know if I understand, struggling to open Huanchun, Lan Qi has also slowly squatted down, just hugging his son in his arms, in the end, he went out of the far house, it is not as good as the kung fu of going out with Xuan Ye for three days in the blink of an eye, this time he started thinking about his son before he reached the top of the Bodhisattva. When she was attacked by a tiger at that time, her head was blank, but afterwards she was afraid, if she died like that, what would happen to the child, what would Xuan Ye do, what would happen to the Empress Dowager and Ama Eniang, it turned out that she Wu Ya Lanqi had already lived so important.

Yinzuo kept shouting, Lan Qi slowly stood up, looked up and saw Yinzhen being led by the nurse, the little guy smiled on his face, and politely shouted Concubine De Niangniang, Lan Qi smiled and bowed, and suddenly a thrill in her heart reminded her of the nightmare after the attack, and remembered that in the dream Yinzhen held her hand and did not let her save the prince. Inexplicably, the dream from many years ago also came to her eyes, when Yinzhen was still in her stomach, she dreamed that the little prince was pointing to her stomach and crying.

"Eniang, go home." Yinzuo's voice suddenly remembered, holding her mother's hand and being coquettish, and going to pull Huanchun, Lan Qi woke up, and then looked at Yinzhen's innocent and lovely appearance, blaming herself for being cranky, but she couldn't go straight back to Yonghe Palace, the imperial concubine was pregnant with a child and took care of her son for so long, she always had to go in and thank you.

The people in front of the door did not stop her, Qinglian greeted her warmly, and just whispered: "Niangniang, she doesn't look very good, and her temper is not very good, if she says something not very good, Concubine De, you take care of it, they are all pregnant women, you must be considerate." ”

Lan Qi smiled without saying a word, and slowly walked into the inner hall, the imperial concubine with a bulging abdomen was crooked on the kang, fiddling with the tinkling nine rings in her hand, as if she was lawless and angry. When Yin Zhen saw it, he crawled to his mother's side, and untied it in three or two clicks, the imperial concubine showed a smile on her face, and saw Concubine De in front of her, so she touched the head of the fourth elder brother unexpectedly and said, "My son is very smart." ”

Lan Qi smiled in her heart, nodded quietly on her face, and said some words of gratitude, but when the words fell, the imperial concubine looked at her figure and said, "They said that you have it too, you are really not to be left behind, and you have to come to have a baby." Yesterday, Concubine Rong came to tell me about the amount of money in the palace this year, and added a lot of silver for the three of them, and you caught up again. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Thanks to the blessing of the mother." ”

"You don't have to toefl." The imperial concubine sneered, turned her face to Yinzhen and was full of kindness, coaxed him and Yinzuo to play for a while, and said that Concubine De Niangniang must bring good things from outside, let him and his younger brother go to Yonghe Palace to wait, and when the children were gone, Lan Qi saw that the imperial concubine had something to say, so she sat down on the side.

The imperial concubine really sighed: "I heard that you were slapped by the tiger, is it okay?" This child is much stronger than the girl in front of him. ”

Lan Qi bowed his head and said, "The Imperial Doctor said the same thing. ”

"But I'm not a good kid." The imperial concubine suddenly said this, and Lan Qi trembled, but the person on the bed was very calm, gently touched his stomach and said, "The imperial doctor said that this child is very weak, and I don't know if he can be born to term, and I don't know if he can live after birth. ”

This kind of experience, Lan Qi felt exactly the same at this time last year, although she didn't show it, but it was really hard to stay up day by day, and the imperial concubine looked at it now, and it seemed that she was stronger than herself.

The imperial concubine asked again: "The princess is gone, I see that you are not very sad, I just want to ask you, is it that you have not been raised, and you have no feelings?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head, because she couldn't help but moisten her eyes, she lowered her head and said: "Just because Niangniang knows that the princess is gone, it is in August, and the concubine has recovered at that time." In fact, in order to stabilize the court and prevent the tragedy of the harem from affecting the speeches of the ministers, the emperor concealed the fact that the princess died, and the little princess only lived for a few days, and the concubines were in pain. ”

The imperial concubine looked at her in amazement and asked in disbelief, "The little princess died in a few days?" But ......"

"Niangniang, don't blame the emperor for hiding it from you, after all, in addition to not wanting to affect the court, it is dispensable for other people." Lan Qi tried to smile a little, and comforted the imperial concubine, "My own flesh and blood, I understand what it means to be reluctant, the concubine hopes that the child in your womb can be healthy, but if it is just as you and the imperial doctor said, the concubine can only persuade you to cherish these days." ”

"Probably I will have the same fate as you, whether it is the imperial doctor or the famous doctor invited by the family, they all say so." The imperial concubine's eyes were a little sad, she looked down at her bulging abdomen, and smiled bitterly, "Actually, they have told me a long time ago that if my body wants to last for a long time, it is not suitable for having children, and when I asked them to take fetal pills, they were very hesitant." Now like this, I don't know if I took the fetal pills well, or God saw that I was pitiful and gave me the child, but I don't regret it. ”

"The child chose you to be your mother, it is your fate, don't think about it, it's better to be like the concubine, and stick to the last moment you can bear." Lan Qi got up, "The concubine won't disturb your rest, and the emperor will also pray for you and the child in her womb to give birth when he is in Wutai Mountain, and it will be fine." ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she glared at her unconvinced: "If I don't want to have a baby, how can it be your turn to go to Wutai Mountain." After muttering this, he turned his face and said impatiently, "Let's go." ”

The two did not break up unhappily, Qinglian and several people were sweating outside, respectfully sent Concubine De out of the door, and said that she would go to pick up the fourth elder brother back after a while, after Lan Qi came back to change clothes and wash, she accompanied the two children to talk, but she had been thinking about the appearance of the imperial concubine in her heart, and compared her heart to her heart, she remembered the hard work of the old year, so she called Huanchun and asked her to send a sentence to Qianqing Palace.

When the emperor heard Lan Qi's words, he was a little unhappy, but he thought that his cousin was really hard and pitiful, and it was rare for Lan Qi to have a heart, so he still agreed, and he would accompany the imperial concubine more in the days to come, and wait for her to give birth smoothly. And it is calculated that there will be four children on the ground this year, but Ama is not very excited, after more and more children, such feelings are inevitable, he deliberately wants to be happy, but also feels very reluctant. No matter how busy he is, he can't afford to worry too much about the harem women.

Two days later, the governor of Shanxi, Mursai, said: "The tiger has been traveling for the residents for a long time, and fortunately the Son of Heaven drove to stop, and killed the beast to settle the soil, and should be given a good name to perpetuate forever." He pleaded several times to change the name of the place where the emperor shot the tiger to the Tiger River, and set up a monument to the will. The inscription attached to the chapter says: "The emperor is extremely fast, twenty years of spring and February west tour of Wutai, pray for the queen mother, finish the story, from the Bodhisattva top to the west of the Great Wall, thousands of rides, thunder and clouds, the road side of the forest is reckless, there are tigers in the middle, frightened and jumping, all the pods dare to resist." The emperor personally saved the weak and died. ”

The inscription did not mention the attack on the prince and Concubine De, and the matter of Concubine De sacrificing herself to protect the prince was not mentioned, the emperor was not very happy, at that time Nalan Rongruo was in front of him, and the monarch and ministers were discussing the establishment of the Han army firearms battalion, and the emperor brought up this matter, because the governor of Shanxi did not mention the prince and Concubine De and was displeased.

Rong Ruo replied calmly: "The minister thinks that the fold handed over by Lord Mursay must be thought twice and considered carefully. The monument records the heroic deeds of the Holy Lord, which have been present in all dynasties, and if the emperor agrees, it will be a blessing for the local people. It's just the matter of Concubine De and the prince, the minister thinks it's okay not to remember, the name of Concubine De's virtue is known to the government and the public, but if you deliberately set up a monument, it will be too public, and it is not suitable for the six palaces to be peaceful. Moreover, Concubine De Niangniang is virtuous and modest, if the emperor has such a reward, it seems to be contrary to the mother's conduct. ”

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, looking not very happy, but in fact, he already felt that Rong Ruo's words were very reasonable, so he agreed, handed it to him and said: "You will consider the words on the inscription again, draw up the decree for me, and warn the local yamen not to restrain the people with this, and the place where the monument is erected can be used by the people to come and go at will, and it must not be different from the past." ”

Rong Ruo received the order, and then talked about the Han army firearms battalion, and when he was about to leave, Xuan Ye asked casually: "How are Shen Wan and the child?" ”

"Thanks to the emperor, it's all good." Rong Ruo was slightly embarrassed, presumably the emperor had heard something moving.

Sure enough, I heard the emperor say: "After all, he is the descendant of the Nalan family, and if you leave him by Shen Wan's side, it will be difficult to get close to his brothers and sisters in the future, which is a hidden danger for the family in the future." For the sake of the child's future, and in order to appease your mother, persuade Shen Wan to send the child home. It's okay to make a fuss like this, it's very ugly. ”
