Seeing that she was nervous, Xuan Ye also became serious, no longer drove her away, and went to Su Mala's house together, listening to Lan Qi tell her about Mama, knowing that Mama was worried, she was afraid that she was going to follow the imperial grandmother.

"Don't say anything to Mama, the Empress Dowager wants her to take care of you to keep it, why bother to burden Mama again, let Mama feel more comfortable." Before entering the door, Lan Qi lowered her eyes and said, "Mama has regarded herself as the slave of the Empress Dowager all her life, even if she is respected, she will not forget her duty." The queen mother and the concubines all thought that if they were wholeheartedly good to Mama and let people take care of her and respect her, she would be happy, but it turned out to be useless, on the contrary, the more this is the case, the more uncomfortable Mama she is. ”

"Mama never transgresses the palace rules." Xuan Ye's face was solemn.

Lan Qi said: "Staying in Ningshou Palace, so that Mama can enjoy the same treatment as the Queen Mother, it is something that can be seen clearly, Mama must be uneasy, the concubine thinks, it is better to let Mama move to a place, then even if she is served and taken care of, at least no one compares, and there is less burden in her heart." ”

Xuan Ye bowed his head: "It's a way, there are a lot of palaces and pavilions in the palace, just choose a quiet place." ”

Lan Qi smiled and said, "It's better to go to Brother's Office, let Mama take care of Brother's affairs in the future, and let Mama have something to do." ”

Xuan Ye thought, there are only seven elder brothers and twelve elder brothers in the elder brother's institute now, where are so many things for Mama to take care of, and he was hesitating whether Lan Qi's idea was good or not, and the people said coldly: "In the future, when the newcomer enters the palace, he will give birth to the prince and princess, and the concubines can no longer be raised, and they will probably be sent to the elder brother's institute together, and now the twelfth elder brother is still young and needs to be taken care of, even if he grows up in two years, there will be younger children in the future, and Mama will not be idle." Mama is worried about her hard life, let her be idle and enjoy the blessings, she feels that she should not leave. ”

The last sentence makes perfect sense, what do the previous ones mean? Xuan Ye stared at Lan Qi for a long time, and approached her a little angrily and asked, "Saying this kind of thing again and again, are you really not afraid that I will be angry?" ”

Lan Qi was stunned, she said it, but to tell the truth, what's wrong?

Xuan Ye was unhappy, he couldn't say why, he was unhappy anyway, he looked at Lan Qi with a tiger face and didn't speak, the two looked at each other stupidly, in the end, the woman's mind was more delicate, and she reacted for a long time, and involuntarily took the emperor's hand and said, "The emperor thinks I'm jealous?" Busy and changed his words, "The concubine didn't tell you, the concubine will be a gentle, generous and tolerant good lady, if you are jealous, put it in your heart, and if you want to say it, you can say it behind closed doors." ”

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and she had a bit of a boudoir whispering posture, but she touched the door of her heart, and looked at Xuan Ye with a bright smile, as if she was talking about a great happy event, which made Xuan Ye lose her temper, seeing that she smiled so good-looking, obviously stingy and not able to put on a generous posture, and self-righteously felt that others couldn't see it, and she was happy for a while, and pushed her hand away in disgust, and scolded as if she was disgusted: "Something that has no heart." ”

Seeing the emperor turn around and leave with a smile, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and happily followed him into the door, Mama was on the sickbed, seeing the emperor and concubine coming with a happy heart, she thought there was something good, but she just asked her to go to the elder brother's place to help, although it was also something that made Mama happy, but I didn't understand why the emperor and concubine were so happy.

After Xuan Ye left first, Lan Qi took care of Mama and drank medicine, so she was going to explain the matter to the Queen Mother, and Mama left her to ask: "Niang Niang and the emperor, what are you happy about?" ”

When she said why, Mama couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed: "Since the Empress Dowager is gone, the slave maid hasn't seen such a smile on the emperor's face for a long time, but she hasn't been happy for anything, just because she saw you?" ”

Lan Qi smiled, she didn't understand why Xuan Ye was happy, but she was happy about it, and said smugly: "Mama, I'm amazing, right?" ”

A few days after that, Mama Su Mala was sent to the elder brother's institute, naturally she had to raise her body for a while before she could take care of the affairs of the elder brother, the biological mother of the seventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, Dai Guiren and Wan Chang often went to take care of the grandmother, and they could also take this opportunity to see the child more, killing two birds with one stone.

Mama has a credible person to take care of, Lan Qi can spare time to take care of her children, and keep an eye on the affairs in the palace, in recent days, the emperor has favored Yikun Palace a lot, whether it is Concubine Yi or Zhang agreed, in the eyes of others, the momentum will overshadow Yonghe Palace. In fact, Lan Qi has not really cared about the momentum or scenery for more than ten years, she only knows that Xuan Ye will take care of him when he comes to make him happy, and when Xuan Ye is not there, she will live a good life by herself.

But this is the so-called solitary self, which will not work in the Forbidden City.

On this day, Concubine Rong came and said that she had worked hard to fill in all the Louzi that Concubine Yi had stabbed, and she was left to wait for Concubine Yi to take the initiative, Concubine Rong was anxious, and seeing that there were many things in the second half of the autumn, she came to urge Lan Qi again.

"In the second half of the year, we have to prepare for the anniversary of the Empress Dowager, we don't have a moment of leisure in the palace, and I don't know what the emperor thinks about the festival, he has always liked to make temporary intentions, and we must also prepare at any time." Concubine Rong was worried, and complained to Lan Qi unreservedly, "If I am still Concubine Yi, I would rather conspire with Changchun Palace." ”

Lan Qi was serving the tea in his hand, the delicate utensils were crystal clear under the moisture of the tea, and handed a small cup of kung fu tea to Concubine Rong, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that Changchun Palace should not be worried." ”

Concubine Rong held the teacup and didn't move, looking at Lan Qi with some surprise, Lan Qi seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't understand, and explained carefully: "The emperor said that in the future, Concubine Hui will no longer have to worry about the affairs of the six palaces. ”

"Really?" Concubine Rong drank the tea, and the kung fu tea paid attention to the bitter aftertaste and sweet taste, but why did she only eat bitterness, and what was the sweetness? is probably bitter in her heart, after all, she has been with Concubine Hui for more than 20 years, and now that Concubine Hui has ended up like this, she is quite a little cold.

But the emotion is only temporary, Concubine Rong understands everything in her heart, and asks Lan Qi to pour her tea again to taste it, and said: "I'll wait for you to help me, slowly you will be the master of big and small things, and in a few years, I should also retire and enjoy Qingfu." ”

Lan Qi smiled slowly: "Sister, don't deceive yourself, where is your turn to enjoy Qingfu?" ”

Concubine Rong was disgusted: "You will also bully me." ”

Lan Qi said solemnly: "Sister, let's sort out a troublesome matter, put it aside for now, and when I tell you in a few days, the time is up, and then you push the matter in front of Concubine Yi, at best, when the emperor is also there, the two of them will have something to say." ”

Concubine Rong thought of Lan Qi's previous ghost idea, and then looked at the scenery of Concubine Yi recently, and asked her incredulously: "Did you really tell the emperor?" ”

Lan Qi smiled: "We're worried about him." ”

But this matter, after all, was not as smooth as Lan Qi thought, the emperor spent half a year of extreme sadness, and gradually began to get close to the harem Not long after, there was something terrible in the court, and the emperor was delayed in government affairs for a while, and left the harem all behind.

In the spring of this year, there was a great drought in the grasslands of the Tushetu tribe, and many people died of starvation due to lack of food. Xuan Ye knew very well that Tushetu Khan's move would not only further worsen the relationship between the left and right wings of the Khalkha Mongols, but would also become an excuse for Galdan to invade the Khalkha Mongols.

Although Galdan was the fourth Windsa Living Buddha, he was extremely capable of military affairs. In the face of war, he was strategically and tactically appropriate, decisive in command, and fearless. Therefore, every battle must be won, and he "has no arrow", thus establishing high prestige, and deeply influenced by Lamaism, he has always wanted to establish a Junggar empire with Lamaism as the state religion.

After successively annexing the other three tribes of the Oirat Mongols and attacking the Ozirtu Chechen Khanate, Galdan led his troops into southern Xinjiang under the pretext of crusading against the "aliens" and destroyed the Yarkand Khanate. At the same time, Galdan used troops in the west to consolidate his rule there, and after conquering the Kazakh Khanate in the west, the invincible domineering made Kaldan's ambitions swell, and the emperor and the court knew that he had already turned his attention to the east, gathering troops and horses to compete with the Qing court for the territory of Monan and Mobei Mongolia.

For this matter, the emperor once again used Mingzhu to participate in the discussion, and the atmosphere of the previous dynasty was solemn, which naturally also affected the harem, and the women had insight into the major events in the court, and they all kept to themselves and did not dare to block the emperor.

But seeing that Mingzhu's reinstatement is no longer an empty shelf, and seeing that the emperor has plans for Mingzhu, Concubine Hui's guard in her heart has finally let go of some of them, she doesn't understand the government, but she knows that although Mingzhu is greedy, she is indeed talented, for the emperor, as long as he can help him govern the world and keep the country peaceful, whether he is a good person or a bad person, it is all in one thought.

In the blink of an eye, in July, the heat finally dissipated, and the Empress Dowager was commemorated on the Midyear Festival, and Concubine Hui rarely appeared in front of people, but I don't know if she was really haggard, or she was disguised as Fandel, and Concubine Hui in the eyes of everyone was indeed not very energetic. Someone asked the eldest brother if he came to visit, and asked why Da Fu Jin didn't enter the palace, but Concubine Hui was full of thought for the sake of the child, saying that it was inconvenient for Da Fu Jin to enter the palace with his stomach.

But obedient and listening, scattered into gossip spread out, the eldest brother was afraid of provoking his father to displease, and the next day he led the pot-bellied Fu Jin into the palace to greet his mother, and Concubine Hui finally saw her pregnant daughter-in-law.

Da Fu Jin hated his mother-in-law to the core, before he had to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and then there was a later funeral, she had not set foot in the Forbidden City for more than half a year, and had been using poor health as an excuse, anyway, as long as the emperor did not come forward, even if Concubine Hui urged her three times a day, she did not move, and determined that her mother-in-law was a person in the palace, and she would not be able to leave the Forbidden City for the rest of her life.

Today was brought into the palace by her husband, Da Fu Jin kept his face tight, and he didn't say a word when he saw his mother-in-law, Concubine Hui didn't say anything bad in front of her son, and when the eldest brother wanted to leave, Da Fu Jin immediately followed and said that he was going to leave.

The eldest brother was a little difficult to do, and wanted to persuade his wife to stay and talk to his mother for a while, but Dafujin looked at him and said, "I want to go to Ningshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and I will come to talk to Eniang in a while." She relied on her big belly, and those palace maids didn't dare to do anything to her, so without waiting for her husband to nod, she turned around and saluted her mother-in-law, and rushed out without looking back.

The eldest brother was stunned, and only heard his mother sneer: "Now my son is really subjugated by his daughter-in-law?" ”

Da Fujin left Changchun Palace here, and walked around with grief and indignation, and several palace maids behind him were frightened and at a loss, but when they saw the front side of the shoulder, they hurriedly stopped: "Fujin be careful, don't bump into it." Another said, "Look, it's Concubine De's mother." ”
