Concubine Rong stretched out her hand to raise the pillow for Lan Qi slightly, to feed her water to drink, brought a tea bowl and a spoon, sent two spoonfuls of water to her mouth, and then wiped her with a hand towel, and said softly: "There is a rumor in the garden that the prince once caught a wolf cub while hunting, as if he was raised by someone and did not kill it, as for where he raised it, I don't know, but these days, I can grow up." ”

"There are already rumors like this?" Lan Qi frowned, yesterday's incident The prince didn't even see a figure, but she was also implicated, she was thinking, maybe in the future, if something happens in the palace and outside the palace, someone can involve the prince. The other elder brothers always have their mothers to help them out, or they don't take it seriously at all, just him, looking at the prince who is loved by the emperor like a treasure by the stars, is actually isolated and helpless, especially pitiful.

"When the prince lived alone in the garden, because he was bored, he asked someone to get a few cranes from outside to raise, and now the ones outside Ning Chun Hall were brought by him when he was alone in the garden last year." Concubine Rong fed Lan Qi a few more mouthfuls of water and said softly, "The people from the prince's place, there is a way to get these things." ”

Lan Qi's heart jumped suddenly, and she persuaded Concubine Rong in turn: "Sister has always cared about this kind of thing, don't think about it this time, anyway, there is no danger, I will be fine after a while." You know, the prince's affairs, we shouldn't talk too much. ”

"You can only say such a thing to me now, but what if you die?" Concubine Rong's eyes were condensed, and there was hatred in her eyes, "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cold, I knew this truth a few years ago, I don't like Concubine Hui's two-faced and mercenary intentions, although I am not a good person, but I don't do anything harmful, I only ask for the safety of Jingyang Palace and the safety of the third elder brother, and now I hate their tricks of rectifying people to death, who knows if it will be the turn of the third elder brother next time." ”

Lan Qi rarely saw Concubine Rong with such a temperament, she always only said steady words, and at this moment, she blamed herself even more for not being a good person, and said it really seriously, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to comfort her: "What kind of person is my sister, the emperor knows best in his heart, what are you worried about?" There are more women in the palace, and he will inevitably be hungry for freshness, let's be sour, but we all understand that he is a person who values love and righteousness, as long as he is sincere to him, he can't be wrong with us. We have nothing to rely on outside the palace, and we are quiet, but the strong support outside the palace is not as good as the emperor, so my sister can rest assured and lean on him. ”

Concubine Rong's smile was slightly bitter, but it seemed to be answered, put down the tea bowl, and brought the candied fruit But Lanqi didn't want to eat it, she tore a piece of dried apricot and stuffed it into her mouth, frowned and said sourly, and then said in her mouth: "I often think that when the children grow up and leave their side, I will completely forget that I am their mother, and my heart will be steady." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "What will happen in the future, I will talk about it in the future." ”

Unexpectedly, Lan Qi was almost bitten to death by a wolf, but it caused others to understand life, Concubine Rong's worries were heavier than Lan Qi, and she, a person who couldn't move, was enjoying a life where she didn't have to do anything. In the past two days, in addition to the inconvenience of private matters, and the sweat of tossing back and forth, at other times, whether in the palace or in the garden, those things and people can't be touched and invisible, and it is useless for her to worry, it is better to empty herself and rest, since Concubine Yi took over the burden in her hands, it has been a long time since she has been so idle.

Soon after Concubine Rong left, Lu Zhu came in to tell him, saying that the fourth elder brother sent Xiao Hezi to ask if he could come over to visit Eniang, and he didn't dare to come directly for fear that his mother would be unhappy. ”

Lu Zhu said with a smile: "The fourth elder brother is a child, how can the mother become a child, the slave doesn't want to say it, so it's good to invite the fourth elder brother to come." After that, he ran out to send a message to Xiao Hezi and asked him to quickly invite the fourth elder brother to come.

In the Taoyuan Book House, the fourth elder brother and the third elder brother have done their homework, and are practicing boxing in the yard, yesterday I saw the eldest brother so bravely stretched out his hand, and the little brother and son were very impressed, but the third elder brother was sorry for his knife, saying that it was easy for the emperor to give him, because the rules in the garden were not as big as in the palace, he took it with him, and he didn't dare to bring it when he was in the palace, but he didn't expect to bring it for ten days, and it was gone.

The little eunuch who followed the service said to go and find it back for the third elder brother, the wolf's corpse was disposed of, and the knife was always there, but the third elder brother said angrily: "It's all stained with the blood of animals, I don't want it." ”

While talking, someone came in front of the door, thinking that Xiao Hezi had come back from Ruijingxuan, but when he saw Liang's father-in-law coming with the little eunuch, he smiled and saluted the two elder brothers, saying auspicious.

"Is Chief Liang here to spread the will of Emperor Ama?" The brothers stood in front of Liang's father-in-law with serious faces, ready to receive the order.

Liang Gonggong said that the emperor had a decree to exempt him from courtesy, and the little eunuch held a vermilion lacquered wooden plate, and a elbow-length scimitar lay on the yellow soft satin, the scabbard was like gold, and the red sapphires on the top reflected each other, which was dazzling to see. Gonggong Liang smiled respectfully: "The third elder brother will receive the reward, long live the lord sent someone back to the palace early in the morning to find it, saying that if it wasn't for the third elder brother who wittily and bravely handed the knife to the eldest brother yesterday, the eldest brother had no guy in his hand at that moment, but I was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the beast, and Concubine De Niangniang could get out of the whole body, and the third elder brother also had merit." ”

Yinzhi was overjoyed, although Ama asked him to excuse himself, he still bowed in the direction of Qingxi Study, and then took the scimitar with both hands, inlaid with too many gems, the knife was very heavy, and the sword was drawn out of the sheath against the sun, and the light refracted by the cold iron just pierced Yinzhen's eyes, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes uncomfortable, but saw the third elder brother holding the knife and happily ran to find his Chenda.

"Fourth Elder Brother." At this moment, I suddenly heard Xiao Hezi's voice, Xiao Hezi ran in frizzy, didn't see Mr. Liang first, and hurriedly saluted the chief manager when he saw it clearly, and was scolded by Liang Gonggong: "Master, what kind of salute do you give me, they are all slaves, little things without eyesight." ”

Xiao Hezi smiled innocently, and Liang's father-in-law said to the fourth elder brother again: "If Xiao Hezi is frizzy and disobedient, the fourth elder brother can only talk to the slave, and the slave will teach him a lesson." ”

Yinzhen knew that Manager Liang had always done things for Eniang, and he didn't say this to slap himself, but smiled kindly: "He is always very skinny, and you should be asked to collect his bones when he turns around." ”

Xiao Hezi cried and begged for mercy on the side, and after a few words of gossip, Liang's father-in-law left, only to say that Concubine De asked him to hurry over, Yinzhen changed his clothes, and asked people to leave a message for the third elder brother, and he went to Ruijingxuan.

When I entered the door, I happened to meet Ping Guiren coming out, and I saw him outside the door, and Ping Guiren said in a weird manner: "Why did the fourth elder brother take a little eunuch to walk in the garden, he was too careless, maybe there are wolves." ”

Yin Zhen smiled and didn't say anything, the peace nobles didn't go through the door before entering, and the jade sunflower Xiangyue came up to take off the big coat for the little master, and asked the Ping nobles softly what they said, muttering that the Ping nobles are not good, it is not uncommon for her to come to the mother to ask for peace, let the fourth elder brother bother, just let Huanchun come out and hear, it is indispensable to blame, Yinzhen is not very good-looking on his face, naturally it will definitely not be for any Ping noble.

The child's mood is not right, the mother understands at a glance, and when Yinzhen arrives, she takes her son's hand and coquettishly: "Are you so unhappy to come to see Eniang?" They all entered the door, and their faces were still drooping. ”

Yin Zhen smiled a little at this time, and blamed her mother: "You are always coquettish, you have to be the same as Wen Chen." ”

Lan Qi smiled and coaxed her son: "Didn't we say okay, in just one or two years, when you grow up and marry a wife and start a family, E-Niang can't intervene." ”

The fourth elder brother dislikes his mother and doesn't look like an adult, but what he can say is still intimate, he wants to pinch Eniang's legs, Lan Qi made a bad statement and said: "In the future, you are not allowed to pinch Yuxi's legs, Eniang will be jealous." I thought it was a joke, but when I looked up and saw that my son was suddenly unhappy, I couldn't help but be worried, and I got up seriously and asked, "What's wrong?" E-niang won't bother you, let's talk for a while. ”

Yin Zhen sat down next to her mother, lowered her head and said, "Yesterday, I didn't do anything for Eniang." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Silly boy, it's the happiest thing for Eniang to be okay if you're okay." ”

Yinzhen shook his head, pursed his lips and said: "Eniang, you want me to restrain my light, don't compete for the first place among the brothers and grab credit, but yesterday's incident, the eldest brother and the third brother were praised by the emperor, do you know, the treasure knife that the emperor Ama rewarded the third elder brother is precious, and I also want it, but I didn't do anything, how could the emperor reward me, he scolded me yesterday." ”

"Isn't it normal to be reactive and unreactive?" Lan Qi figured out her son's thoughts and patiently enlightened, "This does not contradict what E-Niang said to you, no one could have imagined what happened yesterday, the eldest brother is so heroic, and E-niang is also grateful to him, but this does not mean that you are useless." You have a competitive temperament, and when you see them being praised, of course you will feel uncomfortable, and E-Niang understands you. But you tell Eniang, who is more powerful than the generals who fought on the battlefield for Huang Ama and those civil officials who go to the court every day to discuss national affairs with your Emperor Ama and discuss national affairs? ”

Yin Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It can't be compared." ”

Lan Qi said: "You understand that you can't compare, why are you still unhappy?" Do you really want that knife? ”

The fourth elder brother stared at his mother, the ambition in his heart ignited slightly, he calmed down and shook his head: "It's just a knife." He repeated what he said to Xiao Hezi yesterday to his mother: "E-niang, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard are people, I understand, even if you lead troops to fight, you don't just rely on strength." ”

Lan Qi was relieved: "My son is the smartest, you can figure it out yourself." But after the smile, his expression became a little serious, and he said to Yinzhen, "E-Niang has something to discuss with you, if you don't want to, E-Niang won't embarrass you, but that is the common wish of your emperor E-Niang and E-Niang, and it would be great if it could be realized as soon as possible." ”
