Lan Qi used to talk back and ask the emperor, "Isn't it your son?" But today's momentum is not right, and it involves the eighth elder brother, she feels that it is not suitable to turn things over with a joke at the moment, only to calmly bear Xuan Ye's anger, and Xuan Ye's temper was not aimed at Lan Qi, and after wandering around the room for a while, it gradually calmed down a lot.

"I didn't want you to look at my son, what the hell have you done?" After Xuan Ye sat down, he pointed to the opposite side and asked Lan Qi to sit down too, and Lan Qi went to bring him a bowl of tea, no matter what, he persuaded first, "Eliminate your anger, I can't listen to what you say, don't get angry." ”

Xuan Ye drank half a bowl of tea in one go, and said angrily after putting it down: "He is very capable, how could he know what I secretly asked Lao Ba to do, did you tell him?" ”

Lan Qi said seriously: "The emperor glared at the concubines in Chuxiu Palace, and when he entered the door, he just lost his temper and didn't say anything, what can the concubines know?" The emperor thinks about it again, his son went to the southern tour, and the concubine exchanged letters with him twice, both of which were greetings from the son, if you don't believe it, the concubine will show you the letter. ”

As she spoke, she got up to flip through the letter, but Xuan Ye grabbed her and said, "Are you showing me your face?" ”

"The concubine is serious, the emperor himself is angry, look at everyone is angry, you are muttering in your heart now, you still have to figure out everything?" Lan Qi didn't move at all, sat back down, and persuaded her, "What kind of big deal is it to be angry like this?" ”

"It's a big deal, I'm going to get rid of Suo Etu, but now it's delayed by your son, and I have to find another reason to start." Xuan Ye was extremely helpless, and smiled bitterly, "I've been thinking that this matter may not go well, but I never thought that the last Chen Biting Jin would be your son." ”

The momentum eased somewhat, and Lan Qi couldn't help but say: "Your son, your son, what the emperor said is really smooth." ”

Xuan Ye finally smiled a little: "Yes, it's our son." After that, Su Su talked about those things, although I don't know what the brothers said after leaving the palace, but the eighth elder brother's excerpt did not stay in the Qianqing Palace in the end, and the apprentice of the head of Liang said that he was robbed by the fourth elder brother, and he took the eighth elder brother away stronger, obviously this matter cannot develop according to his own will.

The emperor talked for a long time, but when he saw Lan Qiyi, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Did you listen?" ”

Lan Qi smiled: "The affairs of the court, anyway, the concubines can't understand it." ”

"You know, I don't mind you saying a few words."

"But the concubine is afraid of herself, she will develop from saying a few words to saying more than a dozen words, and then ...... in the future" Lan Qi paused, and said to Xuan Ye with a straight face, "The concubine has the proportions of a concubine." ”

"That's fine." Xuan Ye sighed lightly, held Lan Qi's hand with one hand, gently rubbed it in his palm, and slowly calmed down, and continued to talk about Suo Etu, saying that if the eighth elder brother did not present the answer he wanted, he would have to find another person to start, he even said without scruples, "The eighth brother is very good among the courtiers, I don't want him to continue to expand and develop like this, our son's temperament is not tactful, he is upright and proud in his bones, he will only deal with good people, how can this work?" Where can he make all the good people he meets? ”

Lan Qi hummed lightly and did not comment, Xuan Ye continued: "I thought that after this matter, I would let some courtiers stay away from Yinzhen, but now I don't know why Yinzhen stopped him, for the prince, or for Yinxi?" What's going on in this kid's head? ”

"Probably, they still have a brotherhood." Lan Qi held Xuan Ye's hand in the palm of her hand with her backhand, gently kneaded the acupuncture points on the back of her hand for him, and said gently, "Maybe the children are not growing up as fast as the emperor imagined, and even if they seek their own benefits now, they may not necessarily become enemies." The emperor thought too deeply and too seriously, at least our sons were pampered and grew up, and the world they saw in their eyes would not be extremely cruel, and they also had soft places in their hearts. Isn't that a bad thing, Your Majesty? ”

Xuan Ye bowed his head, but the sorrow in his heart was incomprehensible, and he said worriedly: "When will it be clear, do you really have to wait until that day for them to show their edge again, so as to scare me into a daze?" ”

Lan Qi had always had questions, and said softly: "The emperor has really decided?" The concubine dealt with the prince several times, and he was still a capable child. ”

Xuan Ye shook his head, reluctant emotions and cold determination intertwined, and said solemnly: "He is the son left by the queen to me, how can I bear to ruin him?" In selfishness, I can tolerate everything about my children, but our home is the whole country, I can't hand over the country to him, and I can't put Li Min Cangsheng in the hands of such a person. When it comes to state affairs and social affairs, what is the affection between father and son, and what brothers and sisters? That's how I've spent my forty years. ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." Lan Qi responded, "The concubine will not instigate Yinzhen to do anything, if he comes to the concubine to solve his doubts in the future, just tell him that nothing is heavier than the country." ”

"You're never going to tell your son, my wish?" Xuan Ye never doubted Lan Qi, but he felt that God treated him too well, so that he had someone around him who could be trusted like this, and he was even willing to bear and face the pain of Lan Qi's betrayal of himself, but it seemed that this kind of thing would never happen in his life.

"Let him go through hardship, only then will he know the heaviness and difficulty of the burden, and the concubines also want to have a good emperor in the future." Lan Qi said with a smile, "If Yinzhen is not talented, please also ask the emperor to choose another capable prince." The concubine will never be as great as the Empress Dowager, but she will always stand behind you. As I get older, I hope that I can fulfill this long-cherished wish in this life, and not let any temptation, any sorrow, or even hatred blind my eyes, and I want to see where you stand, so that I can always follow you. ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were warm, and he said with emotion: "Even if you coax me, I am happy to listen to it." ”

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Who told you to say it, as long as I still like you, even if I can't climb the Taihe Palace, I will carry me up." In order to be able to watch the snow and the sunset with you again, and see the beauty of the world, I can't always please you? ”

Xuan Ye said: "I'm afraid of myself, I will grow old before you." ”

Lan Qi's heart was sour, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Then let me carry you up." ”

Later, this matter turned into a light breeze in Yonghe Palace, that day Xuan Ye asked Lan Qi, if Yuxi can also accompany Yinzhen like her, Lan Qi is different from father and son, and the woman they like must be different, why should Yuxi be the same as her, Xuan Ye laughed at her for claiming to be the emperor's favorite woman, talking and laughing, all the anger was gone.

The next day, the eighth elder brother saw the emperor again, and sure enough, according to Yinzhen's instructions, he blamed himself for finding nothing in the search for Etu, and begged his father to punish him, of course Xuan Ye wanted to punish him, but this matter did not come out of nowhere, and there was nothing to punish clearly, so he closed his door to introspection, and naturally only said that the eighth elder brother was in poor health.

But the one who really fell ill was the prince who was frightened, that day he saw the eighth and fourth children successively, and the pretending to be stupid and perfunctory that did not enter the oil and salt made him very desperate, and the prince later more or less heard what happened in the Qianqing Palace that day, and knew that it was the fourth elder brother who took the book at a critical moment. In fact, whether the eighth elder brother counted the prince or not, the prince is not sure, but he will not be better if Suo Etu is finished, so even if he escaped this time, he was grateful to Yinzhen in his heart, and on the other hand, he was still afraid of what his father would do next, and the person who was immersed in fear and couldn't extricate himself naturally fell ill.

The crown prince fell ill, and the emperor personally visited Yuqing Palace several times, just as he cared for when he was a child. In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor ruthlessly attacked the Hesheri clan on the one hand, and his affection for the prince was undiminished, and gradually, they all felt that the emperor might just want to eradicate the old power in the court, and he did not waver in the prince.

The weather is getting hotter, and the rumors of the abolished prince who once caused a sensation in the government and the opposition have also faded with time.

At the beginning of May, after the emperor and the crown prince paid tribute to Empress Hesheri together, they drove to Chengde to escape the summer, which was something that Lan Qi had been looking forward to for a whole year, of course she would go with her, but the queen mother was not as good as in previous years this year, and did not want to travel a long distance, and felt that the emperor might not be willing to take her as an old man, so he took the initiative to say that he did not want to leave the palace. So after the emperor's repeated pleas were fruitless, he had to take Lan Qi and a few concubines and arrive in Chengde before the summer.

Lan Qi finally got her wish to see her daughter and granddaughter, Wen Xian's health is excellent, and she is plump, she can't imagine that her daughter is better off than before after separating from the man she loves. And Wen Xian also said frankly to Eniang that in the past year, from pregnancy to childbirth, to being with her daughter day and night, her initial pain has faded a lot, she doesn't know what her feelings are for Shun Anyan now, but she lives very steadily and comfortably, and since marriage, this year has been the most comfortable.

It's just that the joy of the mother-daughter reunion didn't last long, and the family happiness that Xuan Ye really loved hadn't enjoyed enough, and in early June, there was bad news in the capital that Prince Gong had passed away.

It was a scorching summer, and some officials who accompanied him advised the emperor not to travel long distances to go back to preside over Prince Gong's funeral, but Xuan Ye was undecided, Lan Qi remembered the words of the Queen Mother, and even the weight of the brothers in Xuan Ye's heart, and privately persuaded him that it was better to go back to Beijing, and she could put down her daughter and go back with him.

In the end, the emperor decided to drive back to Beijing, but the concubines who followed Hu did not move for the time being, saying that the women could not withstand the long journey in the hot sun, so let them return to Beijing after the autumn, which was naturally to complete the reunion of Lan Qi and her daughter for a longer time, but not long after Xuan Ye left Chengde, Wen Xian felt that Eniang was unhappy, and she was still distracted by holding her granddaughter that day, Wen Xian couldn't help but laugh at her mother: "If Eniang is worried about Huang Ama, go back, otherwise you hold my daughter like this, I don't feel at ease." ”
