I heard that the fourth elder brother was here in Lan Qi, and the Queen Mother sent someone to make her not have to go over in the future, Lan Qi was able to coax her two sons to eat and take a bath at ease, although Yinzhen didn't know how to be a biological mother and adoptive mother, and she didn't know that Concubine De was his mother, but she was no longer a stranger after seeing each other in the early years, and she would be coquettish and coquettish.

And the brothers seem to have the same nature, the elder brother and the younger brother are never noisy together, Yinzhen loves his younger brother very much, and eats his own brother and brother, while Yinzuo is usually not willing to eat well, but the elder brother feeds him obediently, Lan Qi sits on the side with satisfaction, and does not feel tired of sitting for an hour or two.

At night, the brothers slept with each other, Lan Qi slept on the side and fanned them, the two little guys were very afraid of heat, when they slept together, their eyebrows were really the same, she couldn't help but fantasize about the future of the children, and even thought of the words of the concubine that day, if Concubine Tong became the imperial concubine, she would be the same deputy in the future, with such a noble mother, Yinzhen is the most noble prince under the prince, thinking of these things Lan Qi will be a little excited, but she doesn't understand what she is thinking.

As the night deepened, the children were asleep, Huanchun came in to light mosquito coils and blow out candles, Lan Qi quietly asked her to go to rest earlier, and Huanchun told him that the emperor took the concubine to Penglai Pavilion tonight to watch the night view, Lan Qi smiled sourly: "Last night, he said to take me to have a look." But thinking about the ambiguity of the mandarin ducks playing in the water last night, my heart was pounding again, Penglai Pavilion was not there, but it was a few times to climb into the sky, I was embarrassed to think about it, and quickly pinched off the idea of pantothenic acid, and hugged her a pair of babies to sleep peacefully.

The days that followed were calm and peaceful, Lan Qi either served the Empress Dowager, or accompanied Xuan Ye, and the emperor did not neglect the few concubines he brought, Concubine Wen was able to be alone with the emperor every few days, and she was satisfied all day long, as if the only regret was that Concubine De kept a distance from her, and even asked the emperor privately why, Xuan Ye didn't want them to be close, and only said perfunctorily: "She wants to serve the Empress Dowager, and she can't be busy." ”

At the end of June, in order to celebrate the Yingtai banquet in July, there are more and more ministers, craftsmen, eunuchs, guards, etc., who come and go here, and it is no longer the purity of midsummer, and because of the inconvenience of female dependents, the empress dowager asked the emperor to send someone to escort the concubines back to the palace first.

Concubine Tong and others did not dare to object, but only left Concubine De, saying that she was serving the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen inevitably felt a little apprehensive in their hearts, and the women in the palace were even more jealous, they all knew that the Empress Dowager was going to participate in the celebration banquet, and Xu Concubine De used the excuse of serving her to follow behind, so the scenery was not even a concubine.

The person who chewed his tongue thought that he could provoke the concubine to give Concubine De some color in the future, but after Concubine Tong returned to the palace, she took her son to be in the Chengqian Palace, and said to Qinglian in private: "They treat me as a fool and instigate me to make trouble with the Wu Ya clan?" Looking back, the emperor complained about me, making me not a person inside and out, the fourth elder brother is here with me, what does the concubine dare to do to me, if I am not good, what should the fourth elder brother do? ”

Qinglian was very comforted when she heard this, she followed the concubine, watching her change little by little, and her mind grew little by little, whether it was the idea of the queen mother or the emperor, she really did an excellent thing when she sent the fourth elder brother of the concubine at the beginning.

But not long after, Lord Tong Guowei brought his wife into the palace to ask for peace, but Qinglian heard about another thing, but before she sent someone to report to Mama Sumala, someone in the palace had already noticed it. It turned out that the emperor had already discussed the matter of the six palaces at the end of the year with several ministers, and even mentioned the matter of the Eight Banners draft, and there would be a new person in the Spring Palace next year, and Concubine Tong's sister had also reached the age.

At that time, Concubine Tong was not very happy, and asked her father if she was not doing well, since she already had a daughter in the palace, why did she send it in, and said unceremoniously: "A pair of daughters from the Niu Hulu family were sent in, and a pair of daughters from the Guo Luo Luo family were also sent in, what is the situation of Ama now?" Do you want my sister and me to die or live? ”

Tong Guowei perfunctorily persuaded a few words, he couldn't tell his daughter that this was what the emperor meant, then again, in the end, he still had to nod his head to send someone to the palace, whose family the emperor wants to marry politically, is there any reason to push it back?

In this way, Lan Qi does not know these rumors in Yingtai, and the palace has spread all over the palace, saying that Concubine Tong's sister will enter the palace next year, and the matter of sealing the six palaces at the end of the year is gradually becoming clear, and now there is only one person in the concubine position, and it is estimated that the four concubines will be complete after the end of the year, but there are so many concubines in the palace, and next year there will be a little Tong Jiashi who is also from a noble background.

When Concubine Duan talked to Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace, she also sighed with emotion: "Could it be that the sister of the concubine Niangniang will be crowned a concubine when she enters the palace?" Otherwise, you must leave a concubine for her. ”

Concubine Rong was not very happy in her heart, after all, the promotion of the concubine still depends on the background and the merit to see the grace, above the grace, she can't compare to Wu Ya's family, and her background can't compare to Hui Concubine and Yi Concubine, the only credit, the heir is good at taking care of the palace, although they are all handy, but this credit is dispensable, someone cares about it to be considered merit, if it is ignored, it is a waste of effort.

"The emperor won't do anything hurtful, if there is no Sister Rong on the concubine throne, don't think about Hui Concubine and Yi Concubine, that's not fair." Concubine Duan was also not happy, and said, "When I talked to Lan Qi that day, she first said that she was sister, you should have this respect." ”

"She has a good heart." Concubine Rong lazily fiddled with the bracelet, she longed to have the same dignity as others, and she had to fight for her Yinzhi, she was her son's only reliance in the future, but when she heard Concubine Duan say something like Lan Qi, she said unwillingly, "If she lets me, I don't want it, and I feel that I owe her a favor when I look up and bow my head in the future, if she is not in the concubine position, I simply don't want it." ”

Concubine Duan persuaded her: "Honor is always given by the emperor, which one to choose must be nodded by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother values her so much, seeing that she will take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace in the future, why bother to refuse, you can sit on the concubine seat with peace of mind." You've always had what you have, don't you? ”

Speaking of Hui Concubine, she stayed in the palace this summer, and Jue Chan's lingering sick bed did not eat meat and vegetarian food, she was cold, Rong Concubine occasionally sat here, at most she was with Yi Concubine, or in Yikun Palace or Changchun Palace, and when the news came that the emperor was going to seal the six palaces, the two also discussed together.

What she said was nothing more than a few words, but Concubine Hui reminded Concubine Yi: "My sister should also get involved in the affairs of the palace in the future, you should often confess your heart in front of the emperor, Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen are the lives of rich and idlers, they have the dignity they were born with, and we should also have what we strive for." ”

Yi Concubine sneered: "I haven't seen the emperor all summer, everyone has come back, Wu Yashi is still there alone, the emperor is really not tired of being crooked at all, how many years have I still liked it like this, I went to confess something, I couldn't even see each other, and I still mentioned what to confess." ”

"What about the one in the Xianfu Palace?" Concubine Hui snorted, "You are still very young, Concubine Wen is not as beautiful as yours, you can think of seducing Long Live Lord to see her, why don't you do it?" Although I am not as good as before, but I have followed the emperor for so many years, don't you know what he likes and dislikes? When the royal driver returns to the palace, my sister will help you. ”

Yi Concubine now has nothing to rely on in the palace, her only sister is gone, she knows that Hui Concubine and she are using each other, but it is better to use someone than to be alone, so she is full of hope that the emperor will return after the autumn, and she can be very fond of her, and she will be more diligent in conditioning her body and maintaining her appearance in the days after that, and look forward to the emperor to keep his eyes on her.

Two days before the start, Xuan Ye took her to see the decorations everywhere, and asked her to wait in Penglai Pavilion that day to watch the fireworks and lanterns on the water, and the people in the palace thought that the concubine would accompany the Empress Dowager to attend the celebration banquet under the pretext of waiting, but how could Xuan Ye have such an inappropriate arrangement, how many courtiers were in the list on the day of the celebration banquet, if you only see a concubine Wu Ya's escort, you will definitely cause trouble in the future.

Therefore, on the most lively day in Yingtai, Lan Qi was escorted to Penglai Pavilion early in the morning, and the guards and eunuchs outside guarded layer by layer, in case there were idle people who mistakenly broke into the palace concubines, she held Yinzuo leisurely and leisurely watched the fireworks and lanterns, and heard the banquet go up the mountain to call long live the majesty, and her heart was shocked, and she teased her son again and again: "Yinzuo will grow up quickly, make contributions to Amma, and in the future, at the celebration banquet, Ama will give you wine, but remember to bring it back and share a cup with Eniang." ”

The celebration banquet was a complete success, Wu Shifan was already at the end of the crossbow, although it would take time to wait for him to surrender, but it could be regarded as a great decision of the three feudatories, eight years of hard work was not in vain, this night Xuan Ye did not refuse the toast of the soldiers and ministers, and he was drunk like mud.

After the banquet was dispersed, Gonggong Li immediately sent someone to pick up the concubine Niangniang to serve, the Empress Dowager also instructed her not to go to the front for a few days, to concentrate on taking care of the emperor, Xuan Ye slept soundly until midnight and began to vomit, Lan Qi did not leave an inch, tossed for a night before the emperor was alive, and slept until three o'clock in the sun the next day, and woke up in a bad spirit, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Lan Qi by his side, and his heart was stable.

"I have never indulged myself so much since I became in power, I really shouldn't have it, there are many, many things waiting for me to do, but I have begun to be greedy for pleasure." Xuan Ye gently stroked Lan Qi's cheek, and was very distressed when he saw her tired face of staying up all night and not sleeping, "I am a Ming Jun, there are rivers and mountains, and there are more beauties." ”

Lan Qi was pleased, she didn't sleep all night and didn't feel tired, her heart was hot, she actually lowered her head and kissed Xuan Ye, and said softly: "The emperor rewarded the concubines for a few days, is it good to accompany the concubines to enjoy themselves?" It's been a few days since you've worked so hard. ”
