After Concubine Wen said this, Concubine Tong felt vague, when she saw her fall and was helped up just now, she did feel very familiar, but she didn't have a match with anyone in her heart, and now Concubine Wen said that it was like Wu Yashi, she was not so impressed.

turned around and called Qinglian to come up, and asked, "Where is the promise that Fang just fell outside the Qianqing Gate?" ”

"When I left, the slave maid went to ask, it was Dai who lived with An Guiren, who agreed, and entered the palace with Concubine Wen the year before last." Qinglian was really smart, and when she saw that her master and Concubine Wen were paying attention, she turned around and sent someone to inquire, and then she said carefully, "Dai promised to be in poor health since entering the palace, and she was rarely seen in big and small things before, and today the slave and maid are also seeing her for the first time." ”

Concubine Wen smiled: "There are more or less people in this palace who have never seen them in their lives, whether it is the Queen Mother or the Emperor, I have long forgotten who I have chosen, this Dai promised to be in poor health, and he lives with An Guiren, I am afraid it will be difficult in the future." ”

They also know that An Guiren has a bad temper and a broken mouth, and they are afraid that they will be bullied when they see the cute and cute newcomer under the same roof, and since Concubine Wen said that she looks like Wu Yashi, An Guiren hates several people in Zhong Cui Palace so much, of course, they have to bully even more, it is estimated that it is false to touch the body badly, and it is true that they dare not say or speak if they are bullied.

"Of course, we are delicate, but we don't have the strength to stand and wait for a while?" Concubine Wen sighed, "Looking at the poor face and so thin, God knows what sins I suffered from An Guiren." ”

Concubine Tong glanced at her: "My sister is very attentive, what's the matter?" I want to learn from Concubine Hui, and I want to swing around with a beautiful little promise. ”

Concubine Wen smiled and returned her disdainful eyes: "The concubines can't be offended, the emperor doesn't hate the concubines, and there is still tea that the emperor likes to use in the Xianfu Palace." However, this Dai promised to fall just now, and he fell out of the hall, isn't the concubine Niangniang the most fond of watching dramas? You'll want to take a closer look in the future. ”

Concubine Tong sneered: "You are much more interesting than your sister, others have looked down on you in the past, and if you want to come to Alinga outside, you should also snicker in your dreams." ”

Concubine Wen owed a debt, and said proudly: "Ah Ling'a suffocated to death in a dream, and the concubine will not shed a single tear, the concubine is the daughter-in-law of the Aixin Jueluo family, what does the Niu Hulu family have to do with it?" The concubine is much more interesting than her sister, in the days to come, how to live well, the holy lord of the country's prosperity, the Ming Jun, Zhong Ming Dingshi is rich and noble, and it is enough to live like this. ”

Concubine Tong Guifei, who said these words, was shocked, frowned, and said: "What do you mean by this, could it be that it was ...... on my birthday in the old year."

"On the first day of spring, it has been 18 years since Kangxi." Concubine Wen said with a smile, "The concubines have forgotten all about the past, and they can't listen to those words just now, and they have forgotten what they have said. is still the same sentence, Ah Ling's death has nothing to do with me, you have to bite the concubine, and the concubine is not a vegetarian and reciting Buddha. Concubine Wen, who knelt on the road that day after being scared by your three or two words, had already gone with her sister. ”

Concubine Tong was nervous, but she saw Concubine Wen Zhou Zhou Zheng saluting, called Dongyun to come up and help, and the group went to Ningshou Palace, leaving her here in a daze, Qinglian urged for a long time, and the concubine eased up, holding the door of her heart and thinking, she thought that she lived freely and recklessly, but in fact it was far inferior to Concubine Wen, her hands and feet have always been bound, and she was bound by the family by Ama and by Xuanye.

"Mother, are you alright?" Qinglian looked embarrassed, and she was also bluffed by Concubine Wen's sudden showdown.

"Send someone to send a message, let the family enter the palace in a few days to sit, and I'm Amma, I want to see him." Concubine Tong eased her breathing, stared at Qinglian again, and said angrily, "If you want to go to Cining Palace to report to me, you won't stop me, but can't I meet my family as a daughter?" ”

Qinglian saw that this anger had affected herself, so she could only listen and suffer, fortunately, she understood her temper, and also knew her pitiful, so as not to accumulate grievances, and then Ningshou Palace did not go, and turned back to Chengqian Palace, but when she arrived at the door, she saw that the door of Yonghe Palace not far away was opened, and there were eunuchs and palace maids holding incense cases in and out, Concubine Tong frowned, and Qinglian immediately said that she went to inquire.

Calling other people to serve, Qinglian came to Yonghe Palace alone, and saw that it was the palace people who opened the door to clean the incense case, and pulled a little palace maid and asked, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, why did you clean it up?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "I just swept the incense case Buddha shrine, never cleaned the palace, and invited the Buddha statue to go in with the incense case. ”

"Which master is coming to stay?" Qinglian asked like this in her mouth, and in her heart she thought that it should be the noble person of the Houtou Zhongcui Palace, but the little palace maid said that she didn't know, and said very cautiously, "The slave doesn't dare to guess." ”

After a few more gossips, Qinglian came back to her life, Concubine Tong held her hand stove and nested on the kang, and heard that she was going to open Yonghe Palace to welcome the new master, so she sneered and said: "Which one else can there be, the one in the back." ”

Qinglian said: "The slave maid also thinks so, but think about it again, then it will be long live that the lord first crowned the virtue and nobles, and the two concubines Rong and Hui Concubine have not yet lived in the six palaces of the east and west, and it is not known whether it is one of them." ”

Concubine Tong turned her face away disdainfully, and said quietly: "Just like what their elder brother did back then, they still want to enter the East and West Sixth Palace?" In the future, there will always be daughters of aristocratic families entering the palace, and the emperor will make room, even if the emperor is willing, I can't agree. ”

Qinglian was silent, and listened to the concubine muttering to herself: "How am I going to live this day?" She smiled bitterly in her heart, Niangniang, where are you having a bad time?

Seeing that it was going to be noon, Cining Palace was preparing lunch, but the Empress Dowager ate wine at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last night, and at midnight with the Empress Dowager concubines in the Yinghua Hall to worship the Buddha, sleep for a few hours before getting up and dressing, blowing the wind early in the morning and going up to the city tower, in the end there is age, such a toss, although the spirit is good, can not bear the fatigue, come back crooked and do not want to move, Lan Qi knelt on the bed to loosen her muscles, pinched her ten fingers soft, the Empress Dowager slept peacefully, did not want to wake up for a while.

"The nobleman went to eat first, the slave and maid sent someone to watch it, the master ate a lot of breakfast, and he didn't eat less last night, he was not afraid of being hungry, so it was better to sleep steadily." Mama Su Mala came to persuade Lan Qi to go to lunch, saying that she had set up a table in the little brother's house, Lan Qi did not shirk it, and came over, the nurse hugged Yinzhen to greet her, she waved her hand and said, "The fingers are soft, I'm afraid I can't hold the chopsticks, you can hold it." ”

In this way, Lan Qi sat cross-legged on the hot kang, and put a few favorite side dishes on the table on the kang table, and the nurse sat opposite with Yinzhen in her arms.

"Do you want to taste it?" Lan Qi has wine in front of her, the Korqin Borzigit Department rushed to send the mare's milk wine a year ago, it is the wine that the Empress Dowager loves to use, Xuan Ye has always asked the grassland to send things over the years, and there are fresh ones every three or five times, in order to relieve her grandmother's homesickness, Lan Qi followed to eat and drink, she also likes this mare's milk wine, and at this time she took the chopsticks and sent it to her son's mouth, and the nurse smiled and said, "Don't you dare, the Empress Dowager knows, and she wants to scold the slave." ”

Lan Qi was playful, and insisted that her son lick the chopsticks, Yin Zhen smacked her lips, looked at Lan Qi with a wistful face, her small mouth grunted, as if she wanted to taste it again, Lan Qi smiled and wanted to give it again, but the nurse didn't agree, begging and saying: "Little brother is very expensive, you can drink it yourself." ”

"You love him more than my mother-in-law." Lan Qi was not embarrassed by the nurse, knowing that she had been taking care of her wholeheartedly, and she was grateful that she had fed her son a few mouthfuls of milk, but Yinzhen babbled and seemed to be begging for wine and food, and the girl on the side laughed, but it made the little prince cry, and the nurse hugged and coaxed for a while, Lan Qi was weak in her hands, and she trembled with chopsticks, so she didn't follow.

After the nurse coaxed Yinzhen, let the other grandmothers take care of her, and came back to salute Lan Qi, Lan Qi let her continue to sit and talk, and the nurse saw that there was no one around, so she said to her: "The slave and maid should not be nosy, but the slave and the maid are close to the little brother, and I can't understand it anymore." Don't be upset when you hear this. ”

Lan Qi put down her chopsticks, rubbed her hands and said, "What's the matter, why should I be upset?" ”

The nurse said respectfully: "Little brother has been crying a lot at night recently, as soon as the little brother cries, the lights in the main hall are on, the queen mother will occasionally come over, but she can't come, but she also has to send someone to ask, the slave maid thought, if you always sleep with the queen mother at night, I'm afraid it's not good for a long time, the queen mother is old." ”

Lan Qi frowned, I didn't expect the nurse to be so careful, this nurse was selected by Su Mala, and she was really a good person, she was worried about what she said, but because she didn't live in Cining Palace, she couldn't hear the crying and couldn't think of it, the little baby was not light or heavy, and the crying was heartbreaking, just coax well, and if you can't coax it for half an hour, she will cry for half an hour, her heart will sink down, no wonder she always feels that the Queen Mother has been lazy during the day recently.

"The slave knows that if the little elder brother is not in Cining Palace, he will have to go back to the elder brother in the future, and you will not be able to see the noble man every day." The nurse lowered her eyes and said tremblingly, "But if you live in Cining Palace for a long time, the Queen Mother can't sleep well, and sooner or later she will be criticized. ”

Lan Qi sighed with emotion: "You treat him as your own son." ”

The nurse panicked: "The slave and maid don't dare, how dare the slave and the maid take the prince as their own son, the slave and the maid are thinking, since they have served the little master, they must be loyal for a lifetime, and now the little master can't speak, the slave and the maid will take a good look at the things around him for him." ”

"Your child outside the palace, I will send more people to take care of it, and the little brother will be handed over to you." Lan Qi took the nurse's hand, slid the Jin Chuan on her wrist into her wrist, and said sincerely, "I will go to reply, or let the little brother go to the brother's office after the New Year, what you said is good, wait for the queen mother to be tired and sick before leaving, what she said will be different." I don't care about myself, I can often ask for a decree and take a look, the body of the Queen Mother is more important. You are a careful person, I can rest assured that you follow the little brother. ”

The nurse hurriedly left her seat and bowed, vowing allegiance to the little prince, Lan Qi called her to get up and want to give her a cup of mare's milk wine, and the nurse pushed her hand and smiled: "The slave maid still wants to milk the little brother, and the wine must not be touched." ”

Speaking kung fu, there was movement outside, thinking that someone had come to greet the New Year, Lan Qi told the nurse again: "In the past few days, the palace Niangniang and Fujin outside the palace will come here, and there are few people who walk around indiscriminately to come and take a few looks, thinking that the Queen Mother will not let anyone come, but no one can stop them from walking blindly, so you keep an eye on the doors, don't let people walk in randomly, it's not that I have a lot of eyes to guard against anyone, it's just people who come and go, I don't know where to hit everywhere, with the wind and dust, I'm afraid that the little brother is sick." ”

The nurse was very alert, nodded again and again, and said, "The slave knows." ”

Lan Qi drank a bowl of yellow rice porridge a few sips, rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, and after collecting her makeup, she went to the front to support it, sure enough, it was several princes who came to Fujin, but the Empress Dowager had not yet gotten up, she and Su Mala Mama led the way to speak in the side hall, and then the Empress Dowager got up, and there were more and more people coming and going outside to celebrate the New Year, and the old man was bored and didn't want to see them, so that Mama and her stood in front of them, and this afternoon she was so busy laughing and talking that she didn't have time to drink tea.

The emperor has been in Chengqian Palace for the past few days, and every night when the nobles return to Zhongcui Palace tiredly, they will hear the melodious sound of the piano, which will remind her of what Xuan Ye said, contradicting and curious about how Xuan Ye and Concubine Tong get along. But because I was too tired, I fell asleep every time, and where else could I have other thoughts.

It's just that after the third day of the new year, the emperor went to live in Xianfu Palace for a few days, and when she didn't hear the sound of the piano in Chengqian Palace for a few days, she would think that Luzhu had said that Concubine Tong didn't like to play the piano at all.

Until the seventh and eighth days of the first month, the people in the palace gradually decreased, and finally relaxed, the noble people had not even had a good meal with the concubine Bu noble, the three of them got together on this day, and soon Rong Concubine led the princess to come, and the Zhongcui Palace finally passed the New Year, and several children chattered in the palace very lively.

The four of them were eating and playing cards, and the little eunuch who stayed in the palace came to tell him, saying that Brother Wan Huang was not good, and the concubine was so shocked that the cards in her hand fell to the ground, and Concubine Rong was very calm, saying that sooner or later this day would come, and the doctor said that in a few days, the child had stayed up for a long time.

"Are you going?" Bu Guiren asked, lowered his eyes and said, "It's a big New Year, I'm afraid this matter can't be done in a big way." ”

"You can't do it in a big way." Concubine Rong sighed, pushed the cards in her hand, got up and pulled her clothes, "I want to be idle for a few more days, I blame it for being idle for too long in the past, and now I don't have a moment to spare." ”

Lan Qi listened on the side, remembering what Xuan Ye had said, and also remembering that she promised to study hard, and she didn't know how to take care of the red and white things in the palace, so she said that she would go with her, Bu Guiren blamed her for being troublesome, and Duan Concubine said that she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable and didn't want to go, Rong Concubine was not good to talk alone, and it was good for someone to be on the side, so she asked Lan Qi to follow.

The two of them hurried to come in a soft sedan chair, and before entering the door, they saw that there were two sedan chairs parked outside, Rong Concubine recognized that one was Hui Concubine's, and there was a sedan chair with eyes, and when they entered the door, they found that Yi Concubine had arrived. Lan Qi remembered that when she followed Concubine Duan to Brother's Office last time, Concubine Yi also arrived first, and when she came back here, she came early again, and when she met, she smiled meaningfully: "Sister Concubine Yi came the earliest, let's be diligent in the future." ”

Over there, Concubine Yi was pulling Nala who was crying to death, but she didn't hear this, Concubine Rong led Lan Qi to come recently, and asked how it was, and the imperial doctor said that she was still hanging her last breath, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive tonight.

But listening to Yi Concubine's persuasion: "You can't keep this, you always have to scruple in your stomach, you are about to give birth, it's not good to cry again." ”

Concubine Rong also persuaded a few words, and then took Lan Qi out to sit, Concubine Hui leaned beside her and whispered: "This Nala clan can toss, I heard that after Wan Huang was sent back, she didn't care at all, and waited for the child to breathe, seeing that we were here to cry and pretend to be pitiful." ”

Concubine Rong also said angrily: "I feel sorry for the child, I feel distressed, the biased mother is not in tune with the annoyance, let's wait, wait for the child to leave, so I can talk back everywhere, and I can't do a big deal during the New Year, it's just a sad time." ”

When Concubine Hui saw her face, she knew that she had lost a lot of children, and she had experienced countless times of warmth and coldness, and now she was born with a heart of stone, thinking about her early years when she said to Su Mala's grandmother that her lips were dead and her teeth were cold, and at that time, her grandmother persuaded herself that she was not afraid of anything if she had a big brother, but that time the big brother was almost taken away by Chengqian Palace, and she tried her best to snatch it back, and she had no face in front of the emperor.

Brother Wan Huang didn't leave for a while, Nala was often crying and crying, Hui Concubine and Rong Concubine were impatient, but Yi Concubine, a person who didn't see them coming, responded diligently in it, asked the imperial doctor from time to time, and came out to discuss with them from time to time, it is said that the affairs of the six palaces are still managed by Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine, and the above Tong Guifei and Concubine Wen are noble, but they are idle and shout to ask a few words to make up the number, but Yi Concubine has never touched the affairs of the Six Palaces, but recently everything has rushed to the front, and the two sisters in the Yikun Palace, one has a safe pregnancy and one is in charge, unconsciously also occupies a bit of face in this palace.

Rong Concubine and Concubine Rong understood in their hearts, and they didn't say anything, and when she went in to persuade the Nala clan again, Hui Concubine said quietly: "People came to Mingzhu Mansion that day to pay New Year's greetings, and told me that the case in Prince Gong's Mansion was investigated a little eyebrow, and the spearhead was pointed at Fujin. Saying that, he looked at Lan Qi on the side of him, and said to her, "Last time, Prince Gong's Mansion Fujin didn't give you face, and now her own face, the whole family will be compensated, and the case has not been decided, it seems that she is waiting for the two palaces to nod." ”

Lan Qi was flustered when she heard this, and she thought about it at that moment, thinking that it was abnormal for a room full of wet nurses and girls to suffocate to death, and she thought that it was someone who did it, and at that time she wondered if it would be the fierce Fujin, but she also felt that a woman was so vicious, but she didn't expect that now she is sitting on the truth, and it is really Fujin?

"Said that the nurse and the girl all took drugs, and then blocked the window tightly and burned charcoal, and burned all night, ten cows were going to suffocate to death, not to mention a few women and children, and usually the two little county lords did not live together, that night Chang Fu Jinfei said that he wanted to serve the prince or something, and hurried to let the two girls live in one room." Concubine Hui said that the head is the way, the people of Mingzhu Mansion often come and go, and Mingzhu is in the court day by day, she is indeed well-versed in these things, and she is not as good as Concubine Rong Duan, a few small families in the family, and she can't inquire about these things at all.

Just as he was talking energetically, he suddenly heard Nala often screaming, and then there was a cry inside, and the three of them were nervous, and rushed in to see that Wan Hao was already out of breath.

The three of them are all mothers, and they can't help but cry sadly, and Nala often has fainted, and she doesn't know whether it's true or not, thinking that she has a nine-month-old belly, she doesn't dare to slack off, and carries her to another room to take care of it.

The palace has long known that Brother Wan Huang has not been in a few days, and he should have been prepared, just because everything is low-key during the New Year's Festival, after this side is dealt with, several people went to the top to reply, and before Concubine Rong spoke, Concubine Yi had already preemptively said: "I will go back to Yikun Palace by the way, and I will go to the Qianqing Palace to say, but the emperor is seeing any minister, or tell Gonggong Li about it first." ”

As she spoke, she went outside, rushing to confess in front of the emperor, Lan Qi didn't feel anything uncomfortable, and Concubine Hui had already muttered: "Look down on her, the little girl who used to be big and unobtrusive in the past has also grown her heart." ”

This sentence was said very lightly, Lan Qi didn't really hear it, so she heard Concubine Rong say that she was going to the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui didn't want to go to Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace to reply, and rushed to Cining Palace, both of them were in a hurry to leave, and Huanchun who came with her said: "I heard that Mrs. Tong is sitting in Chengqian Palace this afternoon, let's talk about this in the past, it's not interesting for us to talk about this in the past, it's better to go to Xianfu Palace first to say goodbye, Chengqian Palace is in front of the door, and I'm not in a hurry. ”

Lan Qi can't do it, she wants to come with her, although she has learned some skills in red and white things, but more often she sees the warmth and coldness of people, and asks Huanchun to reward the broken silver she brought with her to the palace maids who are always there, and ask them to take care of it, so she left for Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Wen has always asked her to sit, but except for Concubine Wen when she first entered the palace, she didn't seem to have been there much since then.

The warm sedan chair walked leisurely, Lan Qi was still thinking about the crying beside Brother Wan Hao just now, and her heart was very uncomfortable, her little life was gone, thinking of Xuan Ye's melancholy, and she was full of hope that her child could grow up healthy and healthy.

I was troubled in my heart, and suddenly heard the sound of scolding, I rarely heard such a scolding during the New Year, and my sedan chair also stopped and walked, and suddenly remembered the misunderstanding between the last time and Nala, which was considered to be a long and a wise, she shouted Huanchun outside the sedan chair: "Stop, who is quarreling?" ”
