Jue Chan waited outside, first Yukui and a few palace maids came to ask her to wait for a while, but it didn't take long to see people coming and going, the palace was brightly lit for a while, she thought it was the emperor who got up, but soon came out, only Concubine De herself.

"The emperor is sick, he is in a fever and sleep, and he can't go to Xianfu Palace to visit Concubine Wen at the moment. After a while, I will send someone to inform Concubine Rong, the imperial concubine is not very well, so it is best not to disturb it. Lan Qi was helped out left and right in her clothes, and the green silk was scattered behind her shoulders, she didn't seem to care about her appearance, and she didn't refuse the Juechan clan, and said gently, "I'm going to get tired tonight, the concubine Niangniang's first birth must be very hard." ”

When Jue Chan heard this, he didn't dare to plead anymore, the emperor would definitely not be able to go if he was sick, and he couldn't actually enter the delivery room if he went, but for Concubine Wen, even if the emperor could say a few words through the door, it would be her great happiness, but unfortunately tonight's happiness was terrible.

"The concubine will go back." She bowed and saluted, and hurried back all the way after exiting Yonghe Palace, Dongyun saw her return alone, showing great disappointment, asking the reason, knowing that the emperor was sick, and still sighed, "Where can the master believe it." ”

Fortunately, under the torture of labor pains, Concubine Wen was already a little delirious, it was not easy to hang this breath, and she had no strength to talk and cry like the first, who knew that the child would not be born for a while, she almost held her breath and had a moment of soberness in her head, and immediately remembered these things, knowing that the Juechan clan was back, knowing that the emperor did not come, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and blamed Concubine De for blocking the car, saying that they were deceitful.

Dongyun was anxious, so she said: "If Niangniang goes like this, she will never see the emperor again, you hold your breath and give birth to the child, only by living healthily can you have the opportunity to see the emperor." ”

Concubine Wen just cried, and then the pain hit again, and she couldn't allow her to cry anymore, Concubine Rong also hurried over, and when she talked about the emperor's illness, she believed a little, but the first time she gave birth, she encountered a wrong fetal position, almost tossed a life, and finally gave birth to the child, and the overly weak Wen Guifei fell asleep before she could take a look.

The child cried loudly, and the people outside were relieved when they heard it, and then waited to come in to see, only to know that it was a healthy baby boy, although Concubine Wen had gone through hard work, she finally had no worries about her life, and she was busy cleaning up for a long time, and when Concubine Rong told the nurse to take good care of the little brother, when she stepped out and was ready to leave, the sky was also dawning.

The people in Xianfu Palace tossed all night, Yonghe Palace was not idle, the emperor seemed to be overworked, suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night, the imperial doctor came twice, Lan Qi wanted to take care of her every inch, but she was still in confinement, she was invited by Huanchun to rest elsewhere, and she waited all night, and she was going to come back to see Xuan Ye as soon as it was dawn.

Fortunately, the emperor's fever came and retreated quickly, and at this time his complexion had recovered, and he was sleeping peacefully, today's morning dynasty must be exempted, Lan Qi quietly withdrew again, only to hear Huanchun say that Concubine Rong sent the news, Wen Guifei gave birth to a little brother, and the mother and son are safe.

She was sent back to the house by everyone to lie down and rest, and she couldn't help muttering: "It's good to insist on not letting the emperor sleep with me last night, I'm still in confinement, I should always avoid taboos, and he did have a bad appetite last night, I should notice that he is uncomfortable." ”

"Is the master afraid of the gossip of people outside?" Huanchun sent breakfast, asked her to eat a few bites first, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, we are here, and we will find it in time and ask the imperial doctor in time, if you are not sure what will happen elsewhere, you can rest assured, the emperor will definitely say so when he wakes up." ”

"But I couldn't take care of him, and I didn't sleep well that night." Lan Qi didn't want to move after a few mouthfuls of porridge, so she asked Huanchun to cook soup and prepare for the emperor to wake up and drink.

"The people from the Qianqing Palace will prepare the emperor's meal, and the slave maid will clean up after a while, and will go to the Xianfu Palace to congratulate the concubine Niangniang for you, the gift was prepared before, you have already seen it." Huan Chun said, and told Lan Qi, "The slave will come back when she goes, don't make trouble with Luzhu and let you take care of the emperor, the emperor will be unhappy when he wakes up." ”

"Got it, got it." Lan Qi was impatient with Huanchun's verbosity, and sent her out quickly, but after thinking about it, she called back and said, "Concubine Wen's temperament may not believe that the emperor was really sick last night." If she also wakes up, she must ask you a lot of words when she meets, you look at it yourself, at best, don't see her face, the gift is just delivered, you really can't hide, you also say nice coaxing her. ”

Huanchun promised, changed into decent and thoughtful clothes, brought a little palace maid with a congratulatory gift, this side is really very lively, some nobles often come to the door in person, although Huanchun is a palace maid, can represent Yonghe Palace Concubine, several nobles also want her to let go, after the gift is sent to their own master to congratulate, I wanted to leave, but Wen Guifei let people stop her.

Entering the house, through a screen, Huanchun congratulated Concubine Wen again, but the weak voice inside asked, "Is the emperor's health better?" ”

Huan Chun replied calmly and generously: "Long live the fever at dawn, the imperial doctor said that it was hard work, and it would be good to raise it for a few days, and the long live master is still asleep right now." ”

Concubine Wen suddenly became embarrassed and asked Huanchun: "Concubine De is still in confinement, why do you stay with the emperor for the night, doesn't she understand the rules of the palace?" She doesn't understand, and you people don't understand either? ”

Huanchun didn't argue, but blindly admitted his mistake: "The slave should be damned, I really didn't expect so much, what the mother taught me a lesson." ”

Concubine Wen Guifei actually hated without scruples: "Your master wants to stay, what can you do to persuade her, sure enough, she is different." ”

On the side, Dongyun saw that the more he spoke, the more unpleasant it became, he hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic, and even sent Huanchun directly past the master, and personally sent it to the door, and said: "Niangniang, she is not feeling well, and she is like this to us." Don't say it so bluntly to Concubine De when you go back, even if you say it, I also persuade Niangniang to see that our master has just suffered and has not yet recovered, for the sake of the little brother, please don't worry about Concubine De. ”

Huanchun politely said that he didn't care, and left Xianfu Palace generously, and when she came back, Lan Qi happened to fall asleep, and then the emperor woke up first, saying that Lan Qi couldn't recuperate well when he was recuperating here, so he didn't disturb her, and immediately went back to Qianqing Palace, after all, he could still meet the minister while recuperating there, and there were always many inconveniences in Yonghe Palace.

It was the imperial concubine who went to the Qianqing Palace to serve the sick, the fourth elder brother was sent over for Lan Qi to take care of, and when Lan Qi woke up and moved back to his house, he played with the two sons, the little ones heard it from somewhere, and the sixth elder brother was tired of his mother and asked: "Does Yinzuo have a little brother again?" I want to see my little brother. ”

Lan Qi said with a smile: "It's the concubine Niangniang who gave birth to a little brother, younger than the ninth elder brother, and after a few days, Eniang will be better, and then I will take you to see it." ”

Yinzuo happily ran to pull Yinzhen when he heard this: "Brother, let's go see the little brother." ”

Yin Zhen said seriously: "I'm going to go to the study, I can't play with you every day in the future, you can grow up quickly, let's go to the study together." ”

Lan Qi was very surprised, by the end of the month, Yinzhen was only five years old, and after the end of the year, he was only six years old, and the third elder brother would not enter the study until the beginning of spring next year. When asked Yinzhen when it was, he said that it was decided by Eniang, saying that he had grown up and could no longer only focus on playing.

Yinzuo was very unhappy, pestering his mother and saying that he was also going to the study, Yinzhen saw his younger brother crying on the side, so he said to him with the posture of an elder brother: "You always cry like this, you can't go to the study, you have to grow up quickly." ”

"Eniang, Yinzuo is also going to the study." When the sixth elder brother saw his brother talking about him, he was even more aggrieved, tired of his mother being coquettish, but Yinzhen pulled his younger brother over and said, "I haven't gone yet, now I can play with you every day, and if you cry again, I'll leave." ”

The little guy pouted and immediately stopped crying, and obediently followed behind his brother, Lan Qi felt warm in her heart, remembering what Huanchun had said about her eldest son and younger son, and looking forward to the future when they both grew up, the brothers could still be as close and friendly as they are now.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor added another son to his knees, and this year's four concubines are pregnant with excitement, and now they are giving birth one after another, giving birth to two boys and two girls successively, but the little princess of the imperial concubine did not keep it, if she was pregnant and gave birth alone, it was just like this, it seemed more pitiful.

It seems that it is to take care of the pity of the imperial concubine, except for the little princess Xuan Ye who cares very much, Concubine Yi and Concubine Wen give birth to the prince, the emperor is not very excited, Concubine Yi only went to see the child every few days, and now she is so unfortunate and sick, let alone go to Xianfu Palace to visit the concubine's mother and son.

Concubine Wen Guifei looked forward to it day by day, seeing that the little elder brother had washed three times, and seeing that five or six days had passed, she still hadn't seen the emperor enter the door of Xianfu Palace.

More than ten days later, Lan Qi has also been out of the confinement, the palace rules can not be transgressed, she should personally come to Xianfu Palace again, but the Empress Dowager is uncomfortable, after years of old illness and entanglement, she devoted herself to Cining Palace to take care of, only waiting for October to pass, the emperor was busy with Heilongjiang affairs, only heard that he went to Xianfu Palace.

The Empress Dowager sighed privately: "According to Concubine Wen's temper, she must have thought that others were blocking the emperor from going, but in fact, even I went to persuade him, but the emperor couldn't get out of it, today he pushed tomorrow, tomorrow remembered the day after tomorrow, as long as he didn't have this in his heart, he couldn't think of anything." ”

He even called Lan Qi to him and said: "Compared with the imperial concubine, a person like Wen Guifei should be more careful, she has hysteria again one day, you have to avoid her from afar." ”

And the Empress Dowager is getting old, and now she is not as easy to recover from her illness as before, and it is not until November that she has improved slightly.

In November, the emperor held a banquet to reward the soldiers of the platform, and he said early that he would invite the emperor's grandmother to attend, but now that he is like this, the old man can't stand the hard work of the banquet, and Xuan Ye doesn't dare to force it. On the day of the banquet, all the ladies in the palace were present, even Concubine Wen Guifei, who was out of confinement, only Concubine De accompanied the Empress Dowager did not come.

The Empress Dowager felt sorry for Lan Qi and was willing to suffer loneliness for her, and quietly told her: "Xuanye is going to tour the south next year, you should be careful, don't have it again then, you can't go out with you." ”
