Lan Qi got up and led his son to the door, Xuan Ye came in with a body of heat, and saw the mother and son standing together, Thirteen and Fourteen broke free from the hand of the nurse and pounced on him, he pulled the thirteenth elder brother with one hand, hugged the fourteenth elder brother with the other, and the little thirteen raised his head high and said: "Huang Ama, I will protect Eniang." ”

A headless and brainless sentence, the Amma listened to it but liked it, patted his head and praised them for being sensible, so he let the nurse take it away, and they all entered the house, Lan Qi saw that the emperor was sweating on his forehead, so he asked Huanchun to send someone to fetch water and take a handkerchief. But he instructed his subordinates how to do it, but he heard the emperor at the table say in a sullen tone: "Why are your buttons loose, your belt is loose, what kind of appearance?" ”

Lan Qi involuntarily touched his collar, there was nothing wrong with being upright, and suddenly remembered that the fourth elder brother was coming, and when he turned around, he saw his son standing in front of his father with his head bowed, he couldn't be as unruly as thirteen or fourteen, and in a blink of an eye, his clothes that were scattered because of heat dissipation were scolded.

"I ran in in a hot sweat just now, and the concubine asked him to untie the heat dissipation." Lan Qi stepped forward, pulled his son to tie his belt, and listened to Xuan Ye chattering beside him, "If you don't have good appearance, you don't know respect, you are the emperor's elder brother, and you are shirtless and shirtless, in front of people, even in front of eunuchs and palace maids, you can't be so casual, let alone in front of your mother in front of me?" Did I warn you in that case? ”

Lan Qi glanced at Xuan Ye and muttered, "Train your son as soon as you enter the door?" Saying that, he pushed Yinzhen out and asked him to go back to Chengqian Palace, but he was called by his father, and shouted in front of the door and asked: "Are you not convinced by what I said, relying on your mother?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen knows it's wrong." Having said that, Yinzhen was really unconvinced, and was slapped on the head by his father, and his father said, "If you are really not convinced, you will do better, do better, and you will not hang your head in front of me." ”

The fourth elder brother looked up at Ama slightly, but he didn't find a terrifying anger on his face, but instead felt a little more affinity, and Xuan Ye himself smiled slightly, and said a little gently: "Grow up quickly, next time there will be a war, if Ama doesn't fight in person, it's all up to you." Don't always rely on your mother's favor and be frizzy like a child. ”

"Yes!" The young man agreed aloud without hesitation, swept away the depression on his face, and said to his father in high spirits, "I wish the emperor Ama a victory and an early victory." ”

Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, and saw that her son saluted Xuan Ye again, but she forgot about her mother completely, and ran away happily, and ran out for a long time before turning back and remembering her existence, Xuan Ye laughed and scolded: "I said you don't want to be frizzy, bastard things." ”

Naturally, she would not call Xuan Ye Xunzi anymore, but blamed Xuan Ye: "The emperor didn't teach him in front of his concubines, and he won't be close to his concubines in the future." ”

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "After two years, I will only be close to my daughter-in-law, and if there is anything to do with you, you will be able to coax you." ”

Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye was in a very good mood, his words were ambiguous, and he temporarily let go of his uneasy emotions in his heart, and wanted to talk to him well, and sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Xuan Ye said: "I set off the day after tomorrow, I don't know when I will return, I didn't plan to come to see you, I was afraid that you would be reluctant to see you, and I would be sad." ”

Lan Qi smiled hard: "The concubine is very good, the emperor can rest assured that he will go on the expedition and triumph as soon as possible." ”

Xuan Ye squeezed her hand and said, "This is inevitable, but I still have something to tell you." Seeing Lan Qi nodding solemnly, he leaned a little closer, and couldn't help but give a light peck on his lips, seeing Lan Qi's cheeks flush as if he was a teenager, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and said softly, "You can wait for me to return at home, no matter what news comes from ahead, don't panic, there are always winners and losers in wars, but I will definitely return with victory, my wife and children are waiting for me at home." ”

Obviously it was a reassuring word, obviously a warning to tell Lan Qi not to panic and be afraid, her heart was still hanging high, or trembling so much that she couldn't be stable, she thought that she could put on a bit of the domineering heroism of a female general to make him happy, but she couldn't pretend to be it. At this time, he just fell softly into Xuan Ye's arms and said: "The concubine is incapable of facing thousands of troops, but the concubine can take care of the housework for the emperor, no matter when you return, this family will be stable and comfortable, and you will not have half a worry." ”

Xuan Ye hugged her, carefully felt and remembered this warmth, and said with relief: "With you at home, I can feel at ease wherever I go, but I will also be greedy, I hope you will be by your side all the time." ”

Lan Qi looked up at him, stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Xuan Ye's cheek and said, "The emperor is going to war, thinking about what the concubine is doing?" If the Empress Dowager is here, she must discipline you, just like you taught your son just now. ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "You are also more proud." The two were entangled together, and then they said these innocuous whispers, as if there was no major event about the emperor's upcoming expedition, Xuan Ye didn't mention other things, Lan Qi didn't ask much, the two stayed affectionately for more than an hour, and the emperor was going to leave after all.

Lan Qi knew that it was impossible for the emperor to be attached to the harem in the past few days, although she was reluctant in her heart, she also sent him to the door calmly with a smile, but when Xuan Ye was about to leave, she told her uneasily: "What I said to you before, do you remember?" ”

Tonight's words, Lan Qi said in her heart, solemnly: "I remember." ”

That night, the emperor only went to Yonghe Palace, and then went to Ningshou Palace during the day the next day, and then ordered the second day of the harem not to come forward, and on this morning, the three armies gathered some troops to go out, and the army shook the Sijiu City, and the women in the harem forgot the mighty sound of the palace that day after a few days.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor has been away from Beijing for three days, what news in front of him, it will always lag for a few days when it reaches the harem, and there is almost nothing to say back in the past two days, but the fourth elder brother has followed the prince to study in Yuqing Palace, and he has to get the news faster than elsewhere, and every day after school, he will come to tell his mother where his Amma's team has been, Lan Qi is always smiling and nervous, the emperor does not return triumphantly for a day, and her heart cannot be stable for a day.

However, I thought that during this time, the concubines would be as honest as before, but on the fourth day of the Holy Driver's departure, something happened. At that time, Lan Qi was talking to the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace, and told her some news from Yinzhen's mouth in pieces, and the mother went to the Buddhist hall to chant and pray, and at this moment she was accompanying the Queen Mother with Concubine Rong and Duan Concubine to chant in the Buddhist Hall of Ningshou Palace, Ji Xin quietly entered, and came to Concubine Rong's ear and said: "Niangniang, something happened in Chuxiu Palace." ”

Ji Xin's long-winded words made Concubine Rong frown, and when she signaled her to retreat, the Queen Mother had already heard the movement, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Concubine Rong said incredulously: "Ping Guiren was a guest in Chuxiu Palace, and he quarreled with Sister Tong Concubine for some reason, saying that he let Sister Tong Concubine push her to the ground, and she fell down and fell not lightly. The concubine will have to check the days of the internal affairs office, but it will count ......"

The queen mother really didn't believe it, Lan Qi and Duan Concubine on the side didn't believe it, but another fact was also understood by everyone, counting the days when they were still in the garden, almost the same day as Zhang promised to conceive, and the emperor did often get close to them at that time.

The Queen Mother sighed: "It's a good thing, but why did you get to Concubine Tong, didn't they turn against each other a long time ago?" Concubine Tong is an honest person, don't call her a bully. Then he told Lan Qi and Concubine Rong, "You take care of some concubines, appease that noble person, don't let her get entangled and mess around, it's good that the wife is peaceful now." ”

The two were ordered to go out of Ningshou Palace, because the Ping nobles had been sent back to their courtyards, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong wanted to go in two places, Concubine Rong knew that Lan Qi hated the Ping nobles, and took the initiative to say that she went to see the pregnant woman, and asked Lan Qi to come to Chuxiu Palace to appease Concubine Tong. Lan Qi was grateful to her sister for her understanding, and she was not humble and polite, so she went straight to Chuxiu Palace, and when she entered the door, she heard that Concubine Tong had locked herself in the house.

Lan Qi forcibly entered Concubine Tong's dormitory, leaving the palace maids outside, the room was not stuffy, the large pieces of ice were melting, and the use of Chuxiu Palace was also extravagant, but this was the emperor's intention, and others were understandable.

"It's too cold in the house, you are so lazy, you will get heat stroke when you go out and walk a few steps, and you should sweat more in the heat to conform to nature." Lan Qi said with a smile, sitting next to Concubine Tong, the people on the bed fell tears when they saw her, Lan Qi said distressedly, "Silly sister, what are you crying about?" ”

"Noble Ping, she lied to me, Sister Concubine De, she told me plainly, if her child is not good, I don't want to be happy." Concubine Tong looked at Lan Qi with a snub and said, "She came to humiliate her sister without a head, saying that her sister is the shortest-lived queen in the world, saying that she doesn't have a precious life to bear that dignity, so she will die as soon as she becomes the queen, she said a lot of ugly things, I wanted to drive her away, but she deliberately fell down, and said that I pushed her." ”

The more Lan Qi listened, the more strange she felt, and Concubine Tong blamed herself: "It's all my fault, just ignore her, I shouldn't let her enter the door of Chuxiu Palace, I'm too weak and stupid." ”

"It's not that you're too weak and stupid, since she has the intention to blackmail you, if you don't see her today, she will have a way to entangle you tomorrow, it seems that she did it on purpose." Lan Qi's eyes were dark, she remembered that in the past, Xiaoyu accidentally injured Ping Guiren, and when Xing'er was beaten to protect her, she was almost kicked off by Ping Guiren The child in her belly, and then Ping Guiren took on the responsibility of a small life, and if Xing'er had any mistakes at that time, it would be counted in the few feet she kicked. A few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ping Guiren actually turned out this matter and entangled Tong Concubine exactly the same, obviously she wanted to make the fetus stable, and after relying on Tong Concubine, no one dared to touch her.

Lan Qi thought about these things all the way, and personally came to the palace of Xiao Hesheri, she was here to warn Xiao Hesheli not to fight Tong Concubine's idea again, but she always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and when she entered the courtyard of the Ping nobles and saw the luxurious layout here, she suddenly understood that the Ping nobles had to rely on Tong Concubine to be responsible for this child, did she think that in the days of October pregnancy, there would be someone who would be unfavorable to her?
