Lan Qi clearly remembered hearing Xiangyue say to her in a dream that Song Gege's mother and daughter were safe, and when she woke up, she suspected that it was a dream, and asked the people in the palace again and again, and they all told her that the Song family and the child were safe, but when the concubine was mourned three days later, she finally had the time to remember her little granddaughter, but Yinzhen came to tell her in person that the child had died.

The little granddaughter died on the second day of her birth, and for the funeral of the concubine in the palace, the fourth elder brother's mansion did not report it, in addition, there is also bad news that the Song family has been hit hard, not to mention that he can't give birth for a lifetime, if he wants to save his life, it will definitely not be possible in three or five years.

When she heard her son say these words, the daughter-in-law stood aside and wept silently, probably mourning the poor child, if the little doll is still alive, she will have an adopted daughter under her knees, if the little doll is still alive, no one will criticize the fourth elder brother's mansion for nothing, but the child is gone before he can see his grandmother.

Yin Zhen knelt on one knee, put one hand on her mother's knee, and comforted her: "Eniang, I'm afraid that you will be sad, this matter can't be forced, and my son will definitely give you a lot of grandchildren in the future." ”

Lan Qi smiled from her sadness and said gently: "Silly child, you don't have children for E-Niang, E-Niang is not in a hurry, E-Niang just wants your house to be peaceful and have a good life." As he spoke, he called Yuxi to him and comforted them a few words, and then urged them: "Go back, the affairs in the palace are like this, the Song family will definitely be sad, and the affairs of the family must be taken care of properly." ”

The son and daughter-in-law saluted and agreed, and when they were about to retreat together, Xiao Hezi ran to kneel in front of the door and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Brother and Fujin, there has just been news from the house, saying that Li Fang Fujin is happy." ”

"She has?" Lan Qi didn't get happy immediately when she heard this, her eyes inadvertently swept over her daughter-in-law, the strange look on Yuxi's face made her feel strange, but she didn't dig deeper, she looked at Yinzhen, the child was not very happy, but it was a good thing after all, and she came to comfort her mother and said, "Look, good and bad depend on each other, there are always good and bad things in this world, let's think about everything." ”

Lan Qi only smiled and said: "E-niang knows, don't go back and take care of the Li family, but also appease Song Gege a lot." ”

The two of them were ordered to leave, Yonghe Palace suddenly became a lot cleaner, Lan Qi prayed with incense in the small Buddha hall, and after half an hour, Huanchun came to ask her to go back to rest, she sat down, holding a night of almond dew and did not drink it, Huanchun told her softly: "When you were worshiping the Buddha, news came out from Qixiang Palace that Wang Changzai was pregnant again." ”

Lan Qi slowly drank a sip of warm almond dew, and just knelt in the Buddha hall and felt a little cold, at this time the whole body became warm, put down the bowl and said calmly: "This time I don't have to bother taking care of her everywhere, that time the first child, she doesn't understand anything, and the concubine doesn't understand anything, I bothered for the emperor, just let them deal with it themselves this time." As he spoke, he asked Huanchun, "Where is the princess and the girl, can you take care of it?" ”

Huanchun nodded: "A few days earlier, I gave you a cotton jacket that you didn't wear, and also sent two baskets of charcoal, and the slave maid went to go in person, the courtyard was originally lived by Wang Changzai and Yuan when he agreed, but now it is very deserted, and there is no charcoal in the house, so it is cold." The princess and the woman were very weak, and when they saw the slaves and maids sending these things, they actually cried. ”

Lan Qi was silent, and Huanchun continued: "Later, the slave maid asked the young palace maids under her to get close to the palace maids beside the princess and the princess. In fact, Changchun Palace also cared about it, and sent some things in winter, but guess what? ”

Lan Qi frowned and looked at Huanchun puzzled: "What else can I do?" ”

Huan Chun sighed: "The slave maid didn't expect such a thing, but he said that Wang Chang was personally bringing people to the door, instructing his servants to throw away and destroy those things, and blaming the princess for not having clean hands and feet." ”

Lan Qi said angrily: "She's so powerful? Why didn't you see it in the palace? ”

Huanchun said: "It's all done behind closed doors, there is such a small palace maid around the royal official woman, Wang Changzai is silent with the people around him, who can know how it is going there, and how many kind-hearted people in the palace are willing to help others?" ”

"Changchun Palace doesn't care?"

"The slave maid thought, they are happy to watch a good show."

Lan Qi couldn't dissipate the anger between her eyebrows, and coldly instructed Huan Chun: "You send someone to keep an eye on it, when will Wang Changzai go to find trouble again, catch me a now, she now has a child in her belly, and she is not sure how to fake the tiger." ”

Huanchun said: "The slave maid feels that Wang Changzai can't serve the emperor if he has it, and it is inevitable that Yuan will promise to float up, and in order to make Wang Changzai block, Changchun Palace may want to think of sending Wang Guan's woman to the dragon couch." ”

"She is the emperor's woman, she can serve early and late, no matter who is favored in the palace, she should share." Lan Qi's face was dark, but he hated, "I can't allow them to abuse others, my subordinates must not make such ugly things, otherwise the emperor will hand over the family to me, and I will study with the empress dowager for more than ten years." ”

Later, because Wang Changzai was pregnant, Concubine Rong came to ask Lanqi to go to Ningshou Palace together, and read the records of the Internal Affairs Office in front of the Queen Mother, so as to determine the day when Wang Chang was in labor and gave birth with the imperial doctor. But I don't know, I was very surprised when I turned it, so I said that the same person didn't have the same fate, in the past few months, Yuan promised Chengen much more times than Wang Changzai, although Wang Changzai often went in and out of the Qianqing Palace, Chengen was so many times before and after, and asked her to catch up with her and conceive a child. Even the Queen Mother didn't dare to believe it, and repeatedly confirmed with the imperial doctor the child's month, maybe she didn't like Wang, and she always felt that it was inappropriate.

If it's really inappropriate, it's a palace scandal, and even if it happens, it may not be publicized, but the Wang family saw Tian'er hanging around in the Qianqing Palace, and there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her in the Qixiang Palace, and she had nothing to do and made friends with other palace concubines, so it really didn't look like she would do anything wrong. And the doctor has counted enough months, as long as the doctor keeps an eye on the Wang family's labor induce, there will be nothing to do in June next year.

Everyone chattered a few words, and Lan Qi slowly told the Queen Mother about the affairs in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, first saying that Li Fangfu was happy, and the Queen Mother was happy, and then heard that the little great-granddaughter who had just been born was gone, and couldn't help but sigh sadly, and took Lan Qi's hand and said sadly: "This child has no fate with us, just let her go in peace, don't be too sad." ”

When she came out of Ningshou Palace, Concubine Rong also comforted Lan Qi, and laughed at herself: "You have hope, isn't Li Fangfujin there again?" There was no movement in our third elder brother's place. My daughter-in-law is really bad, she doesn't let Yinzhi touch those two newcomers at all, and she bullies them every day, what kind of sin am I doing. ”

On the contrary, Lan Qi comforted Concubine Rong: "They are still young and ignorant, and they will be fine in a few years." ”

Having said that, Concubine Rong's words aroused Lan Qi's stalks, the unnaturalness of Yuxi in the past two days, and the strange look on Xiao Hezi's face when she reported Li Fangfujin Youxi, all of which made her feel strange in her heart. The child has been with him for two years, even if he didn't watch her grow up, he has also figured out Yuxi's temper in the past two years, not to mention that he has read countless people in the palace and experienced so many things, not that she is too sensitive, but that she has a keen sense of right and wrong, and her daughter-in-law must have something to hide from her.

But this uneasiness, she hid it in her heart, and never mentioned it to Huanchun, not to wait for her daughter-in-law to confess something to herself, but to hope that this time the incident could teach Yuxi a lesson, her daughter-in-law is a smart person, if she can't figure it out by herself, then she can't teach it. Stupid people can be patiently taught, but they are smart people, they have their own world and their own obsessions, and others can't easily teach them.

Two days later, the emperor issued an order to give the concubine the nickname Wen Xi, and really gave her the word "Wen" that people in the palace were used to. The queen mother also issued a decree to let the people of Niu Hulu's family come to pack up a few relics of the concubine and bring them home for worship and collection.

Walked to the vicinity of Xianfu Palace, but saw a few people standing there early, the palace maid and eunuch held a large oil-paper umbrella, and under the umbrella stood a vegetarian palace concubine.

Concubine Tong saw Lan Qi coming over and took the initiative to greet her, and Lan Qi said: "The emperor has already issued an order to remove the suit, why are you still wearing a vegetarian body, go back and change it quickly, the palace is still supporting the queen mother, so it's disrespectful." ”

Concubine Tong looked down at herself, and smiled helplessly: "I didn't have time to replace it, I just received the emperor's order, so I wanted to come and have a look." ”

"The Emperor's will?" Lan Qi asked.

Concubine Tong nodded: "It's an oracle, the emperor sent a message to the concubine, saying that the concubine has taken care of the concubine over the years, and now that the concubine has passed away, she must reward the dignity of the concubine's position, let the concubine get ready, and the canonization ceremony will be carried out in the moon." ”

Lan Qi smiled slightly: "This is a good thing, I told you earlier, you are the only honorable person in the palace." ”

Concubine Tong said: "I haven't taken care of her at all, but it doesn't matter." But there can only be four concubines, and now the concubine also has to occupy one, it should be Concubine De's sister, you are the concubine. ”

"How so?" Lan Qi smiled, "Just because the rules of the palace can't skip the rank and be promoted, you always have to stop at the concubine position, but you won't be in the concubine position for a long time, but a few of us have been in the concubine position for more than ten years, you say you still can't move?" ”

"Really?" Concubine Tong smiled miserably, "Then in the future, I will also be a concubine?" ”

Lan Qi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly took her hand and said, "I made those words clear to you a few years ago, whether you want to become the second her or not, it's up to you." Although the queen did not ask me to take care of my sister, but you are different from her in my heart, and in the days to come, as long as I still have energy, I will continue to share the affairs of the palace, and you can sit in a high position with peace of mind. Good sister, since this life is destined to be helpless, don't struggle to let yourself be bruised, live a good life, and be happy, isn't it? ”

Concubine Tong burst into tears slightly: "For my sister's unwillingness, I also want to be good." ”
