"I don't have any feelings with the emperor, the emperor loves Duanjing and looks at your face to me and is kind, I am already very content, and because I have no feelings, it doesn't matter if it's cold or hot." Bu Guiren stretched out his hand to help Zhou Zheng with the hairpin on Lan Qi's bun, and smoothed the delicately embroidered scarf on her chest, his smile was a little helpless, Sheng was calm and gentle, and persuaded Lan Qi seriously, "I look at it coldly, the relationship between you and the emperor has long been better than that of Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is a man." When I was a child, I always heard my mother and concubines complain together, saying that no matter how old a man is, he is still like a child. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Sister is trying to say, let me go to the Long Live Lord to sell and invite pets?" ”

Bu Guiren smiled: "Who told you to say it?" That's what I mean, but it's not all the same thing. She looked outside, turned around and said softly, "It was your idea to send it to Chengqian Palace, and he didn't discuss it with the emperor, can he feel better?" Long live so much love for you, everything is thoughtful, in the end, you ask for a word, in vain the emperor so hard work, no one is happy. Don't be too stubborn, is there still a reason for the master to coax you? After a few days of recovery, let's go and see the emperor, I can't understand your mind, the emperor is so smart, he won't not understand. ”

Lan Qi leaned on her shoulder and said softly: "It's still my sister who loves me the most, I remember your words, I will think about it." ”

"You can't be coquettish like this in the future, you are all a concubine." Bu Guiren smiled, but still hugged her and said, "Seeing you getting better and better, I feel comfortable, when you were good to me, I thought that if you have been following me, I am unhappy, I should be wronged by you." Sure enough, your fate is here, and you are born rich. ”

When she was talking, Pan Xia came in, and when she saw them like this, she also joked, Bu Guiren hated her for having no rules, and Lan Qi told her to live here in the future, and asked her to take good care of Bu Guiren, and after a while, she came to greet her. Everyone hugged Lan Qi and went out, although it was only a few steps away, they still lifted the sedan chair and carried it over, and went around to the gate of Yonghe Palace.

Yonghe Palace is the same as the pattern of the second courtyard, the main hall of the front yard is five rooms wide, there are things with the hall, and the backyard has a warm pavilion, and the Zhongcui Palace is not much different, but the main hall in the Zhongcui Palace is full of two places and the backyard is full before, from the concubine to Dai promised, the palace female eunuchs are twenty or thirty people, and now they suddenly live alone in the Yonghe Palace, and naturally feel wide and lonely.

And Lan Qi has always been low-key and humble, and the interior furniture is simple, not as magnificent and arrogant as Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace.

Everyone flocked to her into the palace, kneeling on the cushion to listen to the decree, but the Empress Dowager exempted her from the big gift of kneeling three times and nine knocks, everything was a formality, and it was only right for her to go to bed as soon as possible. As for the six palaces, she was exempted from saluting Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen, and Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were not easily respected, and they came to congratulate her in person early on, saying that they would be the same in the future, and they should be more harmonious.

Count the current palace, Concubine Tong's status is unshakable, Concubine Wen is not close to the six palaces, but the relationship with the emperor is more harmonious than before, and she also shares some of the grace of the concubine quietly, Rong Concubine, Duan Concubine, and Hui Concubine have faded earlier, and Yi Concubine is now safe, although she is also noble when she enters the palace, and she has been sealed in a few years, but compared with the concubine from a palace maid to today's glory, the difference is not a little bit, and then look back at Rong Concubine and Duan Concubine, the same road, they have walked ten years more than Concubine De.

In the dormitory, suddenly changed to a strange place, Lan Qi couldn't adapt to it, but fortunately, Huanchun was the most hearted, and the things she liked to use were moved over as they were, and the mattress and quilt on the bed were also the original, which should have been replaced with new ones and better, but thinking about the ethereal Tujili, it was better to let her live happily in a down-to-earth manner, so she begged Duan Concubine to ask for a decree and moved all the original things over, which also saved a lot of expenses in the palace

"The lighting under the window here is better than before, and the kang head is also bigger, and the little brother is rolling on it in the future." Yu Kui was cleaning up her things and said with a smile, but she was pinched by Lu Zhu behind her, and after pulling it out, her eyes widened and scolded her, "Don't mention the little brother or something, aren't you afraid that the master will be sad when he thinks of the fourth elder brother?" ”

Lan Qi saw them go out like this, funny and distressed, she hadn't seen her son for half a month, from the beginning of her reluctance to be sad, to now calm and calm, she understands that since she wants to give Yinzhen to the concubine, she can't always confess her biological mother's identity. The Empress Dowager said that she couldn't hide her biological mother and adoptive mother, although the fourth elder brother was going to call the concubine Eniang in the future, but the palaces didn't have to avoid these things, she knew that the old man loved her and was afraid of her mood, but she couldn't take it as a blessing, for the sake of her son, she must let him get close to the concubine.

"The hospital only came to ask for a pulse in the afternoon, the master should rest first, the ladies of the palace hindered the queen mother from letting you have a baby, and they only sent people to give gifts, and the slaves and maids of Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace will kowtow after a while, you don't have to worry." Huan Chunlai added a quilt and asked softly, "Do you have any instructions?" ”

"Instructions?" Lan Qi didn't understand.

Huanchun said: "The slave will go to the Chengqian Palace in a while." ”

Lan Qi then understood, and hurriedly shook her head: "You just go as usual, if the concubine asks you to do something, you can do it yourself, and the rest will be as it should be." Huanchun, you remember, and explain it to other people in the palace for me, now there are more little palace maids and little eunuchs, I can't recognize them, but you tell them that the fourth elder brother is the son of the noble concubine, and he must take care of his mouth outside, don't talk nonsense, otherwise he will get into trouble and I won't protect them. ”

These words made Huanchun's eyes red, and she choked up and said: "The master is really ruthless, the slave is ......."

"Huanchun, even you don't understand me?"

Huanchun shook his head vigorously and said: "The slave maid is taking care of the fourth elder brother and has feelings, when the fourth elder brother is in your stomach, the slave and maid often say that they will make him some delicious food in the future, but in the future, he can only eat the things in the Chengqian Palace, and I don't know if the slave and maid have lost their words." ”

Lan Qi coaxed her: "I have another one in my stomach, so you won't hurt?" I couldn't help but muttered again, "Don't be like this, I'm hard-hearted together, it's best to be the empress dowager, she understands me, and the emperor too...... The most atmospheric in the world. ”

"The emperor is stingy and gives you so many rewards?" Huanchun counted them one by one, saying that the bookshelves in the east side hall were too small in the past, and it seemed very incongruous to move here, Gonggong Li personally came to ask, and rushed to get a big bookshelf according to the specifications of the main hall of Yonghe Palace.

"I'm a concubine, don't count me down." Lan Qi glared at Huanchun, but there was no posture at all, Huanchun was also amused, squatted down and held her knee and said, "Good mother, don't lose your temper with the emperor, can't you be soft once?" When your health is better, the slave will accompany you to the Qianqing Palace, where there will always be Gonggong Li. ”

"Okay......" Lan Qi finally nodded, and seemed to deliberately lie down and ignore Huan Chun, but in fact, when she thought of Xuan Ye, her heart thumped, she missed Xuan Ye and secretly shed tears at night No one knows, but she just thinks that people should understand her, not to mention that she didn't quarrel with her face, she actually has a temper somewhere, she can't wipe her face to see Xuan Ye, and she thinks about tomorrow and tomorrow every day, and it's until now. Fortunately, the doctor ordered the concubine to lie down and have a baby, and she still had an excuse not to go out.

When thinking about this, Huanchun had already asked the green pearl and purple jade to watch, and she went to Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace to thank her master. Now that the two palaces are adjacent, they don't look up and see each other more than before, Huan Chun told his palace maids and eunuchs to be low-key and humble, and when he came to the gate of Chengqian Palace, he even straightened his clothes and asked someone to report.

When she stepped into the palace gate, she heard the familiar baby crying after walking only a few steps, and it seemed to be in a panic, and then approached the main hall, and she heard the concubine scolding: "Will you coax the child, are you hungry?" Or is it wet? You are talking......"

The fourth elder brother's former nurse was replaced because of that illness, and the new nurse didn't take long to adapt, and then followed to Yuquan Mountain, came back and entered the elder brother's office, and now it is not easy to come to Chengqian Palace, Huanchun stood outside and thought, the concubine has such a bad temper, and she has to serve the small one and the big one, and it is not to blame the nurse for being busy.

A palace maid came to lead her in, and when she entered the door, she saw the concubine holding the child and swaying, Huanchun didn't dare to look at it more, and kowtowed to thank the concubine for the reward of the concubine, and the concubine seemed to be a little jealous, and didn't say anything, so she let Qinglian send it away.

Qinglian sent Huanchun out, and when she saw her frowning, she pulled her and whispered: "You go back to Concubine De Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is very painful for the fourth elder brother, did you hear those sounds just now?" Don't be wrong, Niangniang is not angry, she is in a hurry. Now every day except for when she sleeps by herself, she guards the cradle every inch, and several times Grandpa Li said that the emperor is coming, guess what, she asked Grandpa Li to reply, saying that she is not free, please sit elsewhere. ”

Seeing that Huan Chun's eyes widened in disbelief, Qinglian said: "What did I lie to you, you were behind before, have you been here these days?" ”

"I believe in you." Huan Chun responded, thinking to himself, it turns out that the emperor has not come to Chengqian Palace recently, not because he doesn't even want to see the fourth elder brother, but because Concubine Tong is blocking the car? But Concubine Tong is also really public, and the other concubines wish the emperor would see the heavens and the earth, but she didn't even want the holy favor for a milk doll. But thinking about this, my heart is steady, I have always been afraid that the concubine will not like the fourth elder brother, but I didn't expect the opposite, if the concubine can really treat the fourth elder brother well, it will really be a blessing for the fourth elder brother.

In the dormitory, Concubine Tong coaxed Yinzhen not to cry, let him in the cradle, and babble with him like a child.

"Mother's ......"

"Be quiet." When Concubine Tong Guifei heard Qinglian call her, she immediately scolded her, she also had some backache, she held her waist and went outside, and when she was crooked on the kang, she asked the little palace maid to rub it, frowned and rested for a while, before she remembered and asked, "Yonghe Palace, have you moved over?" ”

"Concubine De Niangniang has moved." Qinglian sent a bowl of tea, but the concubine didn't take it, so she directly started to drink two sips, she seemed to be very tired, lazy and didn't want to move, and heard Qinglian say, "The gift was prepared according to your instructions before, and the concubine also sent a return gift, and the slave and maid took it." ”

"What is it?" The concubine was slightly interested, and raised her head with inexplicable disdain, "Children's things?" ”

Qinglian hurriedly said: "No, no, it's a hand-embroidered sleeve cage, saying that if you don't dislike it, you can use it in winter." ”

Concubine Tong asked her to take a look, the delicate sleeve cage was soft and thick, and the embroidered phoenix on her face was very rich and grand, which did match the pomp and circumstance of the concubine, but the concubine puffed out her cheeks and muttered: "She wants me to warm my hands, so that I can hold her son firmly." ”

Qinglian said with a smile: "The fourth elder brother has come to the present, but the concubine has never said a word, whether she is happy or not, the fourth elder brother will only call you Eniang in the future." ”

Speaking of Yinzhen, the concubine showed a smile on her face, and said as if she was in a good mood: "The fourth elder brother can spit out words these days, he will be one year old at the end of the month, I look forward to him calling me Eniang, now he smiles at me and I can't find my soul, and then I listen to him shouting Eniang, I'm afraid that my bones will be crispy." This child was rescued by me from the ghost gate, although I didn't conceive him in October, but I can afford to raise him, and I can stand this sound even more. ”

Seeing the concubine smile, Qinglian felt relieved, in fact, although she has been making the chickens and dogs jump in the Chengqian Palace in order to take care of the fourth elder brother recently, but the concubine is in a good mood every day, that time the fourth elder brother wet her clothes, not only was she not angry or annoyed, but also happy for a long time, she was happy, and the servants under her were also happy, Qinglian felt that since she came to the Chengqian Palace to the present, the life is the most comfortable.

"Anyway, she is going to give birth again next year, let's have another one myself, the fourth elder brother is here with me, it is my life, I don't care if she is happy or not." The concubine became a little serious as she spoke, and said unwillingly, "If there is another matter at that time, if she dares to treat me like Hui Concubine and them, I will settle all the old and new accounts, and then go to reason with the emperor." ”

Qinglian hurriedly opened the topic, she was afraid that the concubine would lose her temper again, fortunately, not long after that, the fourth elder brother made trouble again, she was now full of energy when she heard the voice of the fourth elder brother, and she didn't have the heart to think about these things when she circled around the child, Qinglian and several people were looking forward to the fourth elder brother growing up healthy and healthy, knowing that as long as there was the fourth elder brother in this Chengqian Palace, they would all have a good life.

Huanchun here, after going to Xianfu Palace, he hurried back and told Lan Qi about the things in Chengqian Palace, Lan Qi heard it, her eyes were wet, and she eased up after a while, and said with a smile: "The fourth elder brother is a blessed child, and the concubine and him also have fate, I haven't moved for a long time, so it happened that the amniotic water broke when the concubine sent the son Guanyin, and then she was born hard, and she also grabbed the cloth tiger she gave, now think about it, the sky is destined." ”

Huan Chun muttered: "What is destined by heaven, it is not what you let you send it." ”

Lan Qi glared at her, pouted and said, "Do you still blame me?" I've said it eight hundred times, if I don't send the fourth elder brother there, there will be another incident in Yuquan Mountain. ”

"Does the master think that someone in the palace wants to harm you and the fourth elder brother?" Huan Chun nervously came over, but was pushed away by Lan Qi, "Don't ask, I know in my heart, and when it matters, I will naturally tell you." He sent Huanchun to invite a few concubines to sit down, and the Empress Dowager gave her a decree to give birth to her, but no one dared to come, but she was used to being lively in the Zhongcui Palace, and Chunxi Duanjing's coquettishness, she couldn't stand it after being bored here for a long time, and the excuse said, "If you move to a new house, you always have to make a fuss." ”

Huanchun could only go and invite, and a few concubines were also worried, so they naturally came.

And in Cining Palace, not long after the news that the concubine had settled down was delivered, the emperor led the prince to ask for peace, the empress dowager coaxed the prince to talk for a while, and asked Su Mala to lead him to eat snacks, seeing Xuan Ye idly on the side, the old man sneered: "What are you doing with candles here in me?" Yonghe Palace is so spacious, why don't you go and sit? People moved to a new place, and they didn't go to congratulate Yihe? ”

Xuan Ye's face was full of unhappiness, and he said perfunctorily: "Grandson came to see the imperial grandmother, there is still something to do ahead, and he will leave in a while." ”

"Are you really the old fool of the imperial grandmother?" The Empress Dowager smiled slowly, not unhappy at all, recently I heard the imperial doctor say that the concubine herself and the fetus are fine, she has been worried that the child has delayed the fetus because of taking care of herself who is sick, and now she is relieved, and I heard that the concubine is like the fourth elder brother's life, and she is in a good mood and everything is pleasing to the eye, even if Xuan Ye has a straight face from the moment she entered the door, and she is scared of the prince's resignation, she is not angry, and when she sees her grandson perfunctory herself, she also said good-naturedly, "It's not an early year, don't still treat yourself as a child, You are shocked by the courage of the civil and military officials, and the imperial grandmother is shocked when she looks at it, but she is entangled with Lan Qi, and she has become a child. ”

After all, Xuan Ye didn't know what was changing, but he couldn't resist his grandmother's persuasion, so he left the prince and led Mr. Li and a few people to walk to Yonghe Palace, I don't know if it was a habit in the past, or Xuan Ye was thinking about something else, and turned directly into the front of Zhong Cui Palace.

And Xuan Ye broke into Zhong Cui Palace, only to wake up Lan Qi had already moved away, but before the people behind him could catch up, he saw a few people coming out of the East Side Palace, and the two palace maids opened the curtain and came out with a woman in palace concubine clothes, and the sense of déjà vu at first glance made Xuan Ye keep his eyes, and the people over there looked up and saw the holy driver, panicked, and immediately knelt down.

Xuan Ye said: "Why are you here, here are people who come in and live?" Get up and speak, you are also from the Zhongcui Palace? ”

It was Dai who promised to be in front of her, she went to Yonghe Palace with Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren, and when she spoke, Concubine De said that she hid the box under the bed in the East Side Hall and did not bring it, Dai promised to lead the palace maid to get it, but she didn't see it after looking for a long time, and she was withdrawing to prepare to reply, who knew that the emperor would come.

Dai promised that since he entered the palace, he had not said a word to the emperor, and it was the first time that such a close distance had been, and Xuan Ye had not been to Zhongcui Palace for a long time, and every time he saw Lan Qi before, he was in Qianqing Palace or elsewhere, and he didn't care when they had a promise here.

"Concubine Dai Jia's family, concubine is ......" suddenly met the holy driver, Dai promised to be so frightened that he couldn't speak, but Gonggong Li knew the situation here, and told the ins and outs of Dai's promise, Xuan Ye only listened to a few words, but asked her, "Why are you here?" What about the others? ”

Dai promised to wait for Gonggong Li to speak, and finally relieved himself, although he was hesitant, he also made his words clear, saying that they gathered in Yonghe Palace to talk to Concubine De, saying that she was coming back to get things and so on.

"She's in good spirits, can she let you get together?" Xuan Ye didn't know what was wrong, so he felt that Lan Qi was inconsiderate, so ruthlessly ruined his mind, he didn't admit his mistakes and didn't accept it, and now he happily closed the door to live his own little life, daring to love him as an emperor, people don't care at all.

Dai promised to kneel on the ground and never got up, and when the palace maid behind her called her, she found that the emperor had long since disappeared, she sat on the ground and was still trembling, and said incoherently: "Why is the emperor here?" I...... What did I just say? ”

The little palace maid beside her muttered: "Master, you are also very bold, and you are often agreeing elsewhere, and you are still in a hurry to show your face at the place where the emperor is passing by, you rarely see this time, you have been trembling, how good it would be for you to say a few words." ”

Dai agreed but covered his heart and said, "It's good that I didn't anger the holy driver, what else dare I ask for?" ”

But Dai Jia's not only did not anger the holy driver, but it was also a turning point in her fate, Bu Guiren once said that the emperor's grace made her live a life to show An Guiren, but she couldn't see the holy car in the Zhongcui Palace, and she was tortured enough by An Guiren, and she was very satisfied with living a peaceful life now.

I never thought about these thoughts, who knew that fate created people, she kindly came to pick up something for Concubine De, and bumped into the emperor at her original residence, and until this night when she was wrapped in a quilt and sent to the dragon couch of the Qianqing Palace, Dai promised not to know, it was the look of her eyebrows, and the smile when she came out of the curtain sent her here.

The little-known little promise in Zhong Cui Palace suddenly became favored, and even in Qianqing Palace for three days in a row, although there was only one night of recording, but all kinds of rumors circulated in the palace in time, saying that Zhong Cui Palace was a blessed land, and the concubine had just moved away, and there was a new person on the dragon couch.

In Zhong Cui Palace, Dai promised to be still timid and humble in the face of Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren, and even refused to let them move to the East Side Palace, saying that she was just lucky for a while and didn't want to be too public, and said that she felt a little sorry for Concubine De Niangniang, and she felt guilty and didn't dare to apologize.

The concubine is acceptable, but the noble man felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "If you go to apologize, you will embarrass the mother, the concubine is not that kind of person, not to mention that everyone is the emperor's concubine, what does it matter who serves?" ”

In fact, after Dai promised to return to Yonghe Palace, he told a few people, and everyone didn't think much about it at that time, until someone came to the Qianqing Palace at night to pick them up, and they felt a little embarrassed. Bu Guiren went to see Lan Qi the next day, and they were in a good place, and they said that it was a blessing for Dai to promise, but Bu Guiren knew her best, even if she was uncomfortable, she would not show it, and she felt sorry for her to go behind her back, and it was inevitable that she would not wait to see Dai Jia's family.

As for the emperor, Dai Jia's family never saw other concubines after that, and her promise to Dai seemed to be just a night of rain and dew, which did not make her the second Wu Chang who was the original. The emperor was still busy with court affairs and state affairs, and the rumors in the palace on a whim gradually faded, and Ben was full of waiting to see that Dai Jia's family was also favored, and let the concubines move stones to hit their feet, but they just couldn't understand that there was only one Wu Yalanqi in this palace.

At the end of the month, the fourth elder brother's first birthday, the reward of the two palaces is naturally indispensable, but now the fourth elder brother's mother is Tong Guifei, how to celebrate the birthday of the little elder brother, the concubine has the final say. Concubine Tong said that the disaster of the earthquake has only passed, and it is not easy to be extravagant and wasteful, so the little brother does not celebrate his first birthday, she herself has given it in the Chengqian Palace, and the palaces and courtyards are irrelevant.

Everyone knows that the concubine got the fourth elder brother and got a rare treasure, and it was easy not to let others touch it, after the fourth elder brother went to the Chengqian Palace, the people outside did not see it a few times, and even the Empress Dowager said that she wanted to see it, and the concubine would come as a last resort, but she was distressed and cared for the child, and she didn't care much about it.

As for blocking the car and not letting the emperor stay overnight, Xuan Ye didn't seem to care anymore, but on the birthday of the fourth elder brother, the concubine personally came to the Qianqing Palace to invite him to have a glass of wine, so he said helplessly: "I thought that in the future, you will not be able to enter the door of the Chengqian Palace." ”

But the two imperial concubines came to Chengqian Palace, and when they turned the door, they saw Lan Qi holding Huanchun and leading a few palace maids and eunuchs to stand in front of the door, Xuan Ye frowned, his shoulders stopped, and when he got up, the concubine had already come over, and said with a smile: "The fourth elder brother is his first birthday, and he always invites De Concubine to celebrate, but this time, if the fourth elder brother has any happy events in the future, it has nothing to do with De Concubine." The concubine knows that the emperor loves the concubine the most, but the fourth elder brother is already the child of the concubine, so it is naturally Eniang who has the final say. ”

Lan Qi stood on the side, was supported by Huan Chun and saluted the two, seeing Xuan Ye's tense face, the concubine was not very comfortable smiling, she herself was even more inexplicable, the concubine sent someone to invite her early in the morning, saying that the fourth elder brother's birthday made her must go to the Chengqian Palace to celebrate together, Lan Qi hesitated, Qinglian invited again, she knew that she couldn't hide, and came over neatly, but saw the emperor and the concubine come back from the front together.

Counting the days, she hadn't seen Xuan Ye for a whole month.

"Since you're here, let's go in." Xuan Ye finally spoke, and then ignored the two of them, and went straight to the door, the concubine followed, and Qinglian politely came over to support Lan Qi with Huanchun.

When I entered the door, I heard the babbling of milk, Lan Qi looked up, and the nurse in front of the main hall was supporting the little brother, who had not seen her for more than a month, and the child had grown up a lot, and she could already be carried and staggered a few steps.

"Yinzhen, take a look, Huang Ama is here." The concubine's voice was soft and gentle, and she rushed over to help Yinzhen show him the direction of her father, while shouting at Xuan Ye happily, "The emperor is coming and hugging his son." ”
