Lan Qi still remembered telling Xuan Ye that day that the Jue Chan clan had never betrayed her, hoping to preserve that little bit of sisterhood, but now she heard the Jue Chan clan say that as early as when she came to ask herself about Concubine Hui's final fate, the emperor had secretly warned her. It turns out that for so many years, everything is in Xuan Ye's eyes.

Jue Chan smiled faintly: "The emperor said that if he knew that Rong Ruo and his concubine had a relationship early on, he would never win people's love, and the concubine believed that if he believed this, it was indeed not the emperor's fault love for a night of grace." To this day, he still hopes that Rong Ruo is still alive, and even hopes that Rong Ruo is not Mingzhu's son, but unfortunately everything is utopian, people are long gone, and he is still a descendant of the Nalan family when he dies. ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "I always feel that there is a tacit understanding between you and Long Live Lord that others can't intervene." ”

Juechan shook his head: "It's not a tacit understanding, it's their own interests, the emperor said that from that moment on, they will cut off their identities, and the concubines can no longer regard themselves as the emperor's women, and they can mourn the deceased person in their hearts without scruples." Niangniang, do you know, for the concubines, this is the greatest relief, and there is no need to have even a trace of guilt. ”

Having said that, Lan Qi still can't agree with such a thing, after all, she has her own stubbornness and value bottom line, sure enough, she is a little woman, and Xuan Ye has a family and country in her heart, so she can tolerate this kind of most unbearable thing for a man. Or maybe Jue Chan's body is innocent, and the emperor feels that since he is destined to not be able to change the minds of others, it is not as good as the beauty of adults, and he can also convince people's hearts.

"Mother." Jue Chan said with a smile, "The concubine is willing to obey the emperor and is willing to reach a tacit understanding with you, a big reason is also to see the emperor's sincerity to you, this is the affection that the concubine has seen in Rong Ruo, as the emperor has countless beauties, but it can remain unchanged for you for decades, and the concubine admires it very much." ”

Lan Qi chuckled: "Are you saying good things for the emperor?" It's between me and him, so you don't have to bother. ”

This is very polite, even stingy, no matter what, for Lan Qi, Jue Chan is a woman, a beautiful and scheming woman, even if she is not measured, she is always wary of her in her heart.

Lan Qi said again: "Just now, you called me Niangniang again, although the canonization ceremony has not been carried out, the Holy Decree Treasure Book has been given to you, and we will be equal in the future, you don't have to be so humble to me." ”

"I've gotten used to it for so many years, please allow me to change it slowly." Jue Chan is very frank, and then he talks about Concubine Hui by himself, even Lan Qi didn't expect it at all, she mentioned it one by one, especially the eighth elder brother, Juechan said, "The biggest distrust between the emperor and the concubine is the eighth elder brother, especially recently the concubines have had a lot of contact with the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother is a little dependent on the concubines. ”

Lan Qi unconsciously wanted to avoid this topic, but Jue Chan said: "Eighth elder brother is not the future heir in the emperor's mind, the emperor hopes that the concubine will not have illusions, of course, the concubine has never thought about his future, even if he really becomes the emperor, it has nothing to do with the concubine." ”

At this moment, the desireless Jue Chan clan is so open, but Lan Qi is burdened with ** pressure in her heart, which makes her look very unconfident. Sure enough, no matter what, you can't let Yinzhen know that she has been chosen by her father, otherwise Yinzhen will definitely go down the wrong path, and even repeat the mistakes of the past and repeat the tragedy of the prince.

Juechan didn't notice Lan Qi's mood change, and continued: "The emperor said that Concubine Hui is thoughtful, and it is impossible to believe that the concubine will be loyal to her with the eighth elder brother, this road can no longer be walked, and Concubine Hui can't be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and it is not their turn to do it now." Therefore, it is necessary to change the method of leading her into the urn, continue with her doubts, and simply let her look at what will happen after her doubts. ”

Lan Qi couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she couldn't believe it, Xuan Ye gave up the eighth elder brother, and even the eldest elder brother gave up together, they all seemed to have become chess pieces in Xuan Ye's hands, could it be that even the future of the fourth elder brother was told to the Juechan clan? But at this point, she was afraid that the emperor would not say anything, and she could guess what the emperor was seeking.

"Just as you think it's inconceivable that the emperor will give up the future of a prince, and the emperor is also deeply suspicious of the future of the starling brother who completely ignores the concubine." Jue Chan smiled lightly, and poked Lan Qi's mind with a word.

"The emperor really doesn't even care about the eldest brother?" Lan Qi finally asked, feeling relieved, and even said, "What are you trying to do?" ”

Aroused by hatred, Jue Chan's smile couldn't help but make people look cold, she said: "The pain that the concubine has experienced, let her also feel it, it is best that she can live for a long time in the future, and live to slowly lick her wounds." As for the brothers, the concubines don't care. ”

Lan Qi sighed: "She is nearly fifty years old, is it too late?" ”

Jue Chan shook his head: "It is precisely that the older the better, if she wants her to be bleak at night, she will not die well." ”

"You're such a strange person." Lan Qi shook her head lightly and sighed, "That's it, I have also supported each other with you to this day, and if I say anything suspicious or angry, I feel hypocritical." Everyone is not young anymore, and I can already see what other women I like on a favor or the whim of the emperor, but there is only one thing. ”

"Mother, please speak."

Lan Qi looked at her solemnly and said, "You must not betray the emperor." ”

Jue Chan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "The tone and demeanor in which you said this are exactly the same as when the emperor said this. ”

I think that at the beginning, the beautiful Juechan clan existed in the harem, and everyone felt that she would be liked by the emperor one day, preventing her from bullying her and excluding her, wishing that she would disappear from the sixth palace.

But this woman who once didn't want to live has lived tenaciously until now, and even became a late bloomer, suddenly won the emperor's favor at the age of more than forty, and became a concubine from a concubine to a concubine, and the emperor even ignored the specifications of the four concubines.

Although it is only a difference in grade, in this world of respect and inferiority, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention the status of the harem. There are only a few of the most expensive ladies in the Qing Dynasty, and now the biological mother of the eighth elder brother has finally become one of them, and the courtyard of the Eight Baylor Mansion is suddenly infinitely beautiful.

At first, Yinxi was anxious about this sudden change, but as the days passed, his father's love for his mother increased unabated, and he was canonized as a concubine in public during the Lantern Festival. This is what he looks forward to day and night, at least from now on, among the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers, he will never be a dwarf anymore, he is also the noble prince of his biological mother, and even the title of the adopted son of Changchun Palace is no longer important.

However, the eighth prince is cautious and low-key, in the days of his biological mother's infinite beauty, he is still low-key and calm, and he does not show his joy on his face, but there is one person who is difficult to entangle.

The eldest brother began to distrust him and was very critical of what he did, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother did not understand why he had to look at the eldest elder brother, and Concubine Yi pestered the ninth elder brother because of jealousy and did not allow him to interact with the eighth elder brother more, and the affection between the brothers began to waver.

To his surprise, the fourteenth brother still has a close relationship with him, and the fourteenth elder brother often comes and goes because it is inconvenient to live in the palace, but as long as they meet, they always surround him before and after the starling, and ask him for advice on everything, just like before.

All this makes Yinxi even more calm down and calmly see everything in everyone, he has seen too much of the impatience and radicality of the eldest brother, and too much of the cowardice and incompetence of the prince, obviously they are no longer able to compete with themselves, but there is another person who always threatens his future.

To this day, Yinxi still thinks that if the fourth elder brother had not stopped his impeachment of the prince, it would have been a different situation now, and he would inevitably be alienated by the ministers, and since the emperor did not shake the prince, then his impeachment of the prince would be contrary to his father's intentions, and he would even be suspected of disrespect and usurpation to the prince.

Obviously, he could have destroyed himself at the beginning, but the fourth elder brother stopped him. If the fourth elder brother is also seeking this path, he has become the biggest threat to the fourth elder brother, the more such a good thing is, the more it will make Yinxi fearful, and he always feels that good luck comes too quickly and too unreal.

On that day, in the Sibeile Mansion, Concubine Inde moved to Changchun Garden with the emperor, Yuxi inevitably wanted to greet and ask for peace, and asked Princess Wenchen to go with her, and was waiting for her to pick her up at home at the moment, but she didn't want to bring her husband back, Yuxi said strangely: "It's really rare, why did you come back so early, I was about to go to the garden to greet Eniang, do you want to go?" ”

Yin Zhen waved his hand: "I just came from the garden, you don't have to go over, E-Niang said that she was tired and didn't want to see anyone, and I didn't see it." ”

Seeing that her husband was in a bad mood, Yuxi couldn't help but worry and asked, "E-niang's health is not good?" Yin Zhen shook her head, and she asked again, "Is it for the sake of Concubine Liang's mother?" I can understand E-Niang's mood, but E-niang often says that at their age, they don't care for a long time, it's been a few days, I think E-Niang really doesn't care. ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help laughing: "What can you understand about Eniang?" ”

Yuxi glanced at her: "You think I'm so generous, looking at Li's belly again, of course I can understand Eniang." ”

Yinzhen smiled and said nothing, and was about to go to the study, Yuxi looked at his back, she knew her husband best, that is, looking at the back, she could also see Yinzhen's loss that she didn't want to show in front of people.

"You are waiting outside for the princess's carriage, and when the princess arrives, she will come to the study and call me immediately." Yuxi instructed the people around her to go to the pantry to prepare tea in person, and when she went to the study, she saw her husband standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands, but his mind was not on the books at all.

"If you have something on your mind, even I can't say it, where else are you going to vomit?" Yuxi brought the tea to him and said gently, "Why don't you go to the Thirteenth Brother's Mansion and talk to him?" ”
