Lan Qi smiled: "Do you dare to say that to the emperor again?" What does it mean to make people's hearts blocked, could it be that Long Live Lord once asked my sister to block her heart? ”

Concubine Rong smiled and begged for mercy, saying that she just said casually, sighing that the Yuqing Palace was not peaceful, "The women there are the future harem, but it is really not easy, so this is a fight." Fang Fujin is very young and powerful, but since she is the earliest person around the prince, she is the same as me, which means that she will be the oldest person in the future. I have a lot to say to her here, but unfortunately we are not qualified to talk about Yuqing Palace. ”

The sisters muttered to each other, but it was just to pass the time after tea and dinner, they had never interfered in the affairs of Yuqing Palace, as for what the emperor thought, Lan Qi knew that Xuan Ye would come to explain to her sooner or later, even if she didn't say it, she didn't care. I just sighed about the situation of Fang Fujin, after all, even Yinzhen could detect it, maybe it was Fang Fujin who forced the palace maid next to the prince to death, and the emperor was very aware of everything in Yuqing Palace, how could he not know?

There are many tragedies of sisters serving a husband in the palace, even if Queen Xiaoyi and Concubine Tong are still harmonious, they can no longer have the intimacy between sisters after all, and this time the new side Fujin is still just cousins, they have not been together since childhood, where is the feeling? To put it nicely, he came to assist Fang Fujin to serve the prince in Yuqing Palace, but smart people can figure it out that the emperor was unwilling to let Fang Fujin cover the sky in Yuqing Palace before he set up the crown princess, so he found someone to contend with her. If you find it from another family, you are afraid of causing contradictions in the courtiers, and sisters of the same family and clan will fight to the death, which is also a family matter.

Naturally, this also means that Fang Fujin has lost the emperor's heart since then, she is destined to have no great future by the prince's side, and her cousin has not yet entered the door, which is also destined for all this. No wonder Concubine Rong said that the emperor was powerful, think about it, Xuan Ye is really "killing people invisibly".

As soon as the fourth elder brother's birthday passed, the wedding was just around the corner, on the second day of the first day of November, the Wulanala Mansion sent the dowry of Fujin into the Forbidden City according to the ceremony, which included the ceremonial coins given by the emperor on the initial day, and the Internal Affairs Office set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the Fujin people who gave the dowry, and the banquet of the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother was placed together, and the emperor and the queen mother, Concubine De, and Concubine Rong were not present, and the royal prince entertained on behalf of them.

And this night, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother will leave Jingyang Palace and Chengqian Palace respectively, and live in the two three-entry courtyards that have been prepared in the elder brother's office. Su Mala Mama personally led people to take care of it before, except for the east and west of the courtyard, there was almost no difference between the two elder brothers, and there was almost no difference in all the utensils and furnishings in the house, and under the instruction of the emperor and the queen mother, the two children were treated equally.

Concubine Rong did not interfere in this matter from beginning to end, and Lan Qi repeatedly told the Internal Affairs Office and Mama Su Mala not to favor the fourth elder brother, this is the tacit understanding of the two sisters, Lan Qi respects Concubine Rong's elders, and Concubine Rong also generously accepts her kindness, even if there is no lack of deliberate instigation during the period, the two of them have no suspicion.

This night, after the third elder brother kowtowed to Eniang in Jingyang Palace, he was about to leave his mother's palace, he married his daughter in June, and his son was going to leave in November.

"Tomorrow is the day for the big gift, let the third elder brother rest early tonight, if the mother has anything to say, it will not be too late to explain to the third elder brother tomorrow." Ji Xin comforted, and asked the third elder brother to go back quickly, their residence is far south of Ningshou Palace, and it has been out of the scope of the six palaces in the east and west, and the palace rules are strict.

When the third elder brother left Jingyang Palace, he asked the fourth elder brother if he had left, and learned that the fourth elder brother was still in Chengqian Palace, he wanted to wait for his younger brother to go together, but Ji Xin, who was sent out, heard it and persuaded: "The third elder brother will go back first, the fourth elder brother has left Chengqian Palace, and he will go to Yonghe Palace to salute Concubine De Niangniang, you wait aside, Concubine De Niangniang and the fourth elder brother should be in a hurry." ”

Yinzhi felt justified, so he left by himself, and when he passed by Yonghe Palace from a distance, he saw that the lights were bright.

But at this moment, Concubine De Niangniang is not at home, she is waiting in the gate of Chengqian Palace with Huanchun, and the lights in Chengqian Palace are dimming one by one, the fourth elder brother is holding a lantern in his hand, and he has walked through every room in the palace, and now everything is dim, only the main hall is still bright.

"Mother, aren't we going in?" Huanchun asked softly.

"He should be saying goodbye to the queen, let's just wait for him to come out." Lan Qi's eyes were slightly moist, and she sighed, "From tomorrow, the Chengqian Palace will be closed, and no one will live in it in a short time, Concubine Tong asked the emperor for grace to leave this place to commemorate the queen, anyway, there is no shortage of palaces to house palace concubines in the palace, even if there are more newcomers in the future, in our emperor's generation, the Chengqian Palace will always be vacant." ”

While speaking, the lights in the main hall were finally extinguished, Yinzhen slowly walked out with a lantern, stood in front of the door and blew out the lantern, put the lantern in front of the temple door, and stopped to look at it for a while, before turning around, he didn't seem to know that his mother was already waiting, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw E-Niang, but he blamed: "It's very windy at the door, E-Niang is standing here and waiting." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and shook Lan Qi's hand, but Lan Qi's hand was warmer than his son's, and he walked around the empty room with a lantern in his hand, but his fingers were cold. As soon as the fourth elder brother touched his mother's warm palm, his sad mood suddenly dissipated a lot, and the warmth that spread from his fingers to his heart made him cheer up again.

Lan Qi said softly: "You have some problems with the bed, go to your own residence earlier to get familiar with it, sleep well tonight, tomorrow from morning to night, you have to be so busy that you don't have the time to drink saliva, tomorrow is your big day, but also Eniang's big day, we all have to be decent, tomorrow Eniang must be dressed up beautifully." ”

Yin Zhen smiled warmly, took a step back and gave her mother a big gift, and then readily agreed: "Erchen will leave now, and E-niang will go back to rest early." Don't be reluctant, now you just have a different place to live, and you are still in the Forbidden City, and when you leave the palace in the future to open a government and build a mansion, you will be reluctant. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Let's go, still talk so much." ”

On the other side, Huanchun pulled Xiao Hezi and said a lot of things, although Qinglian and the old people of Chengqian Palace went with the fourth elder brother, she was very relieved, but Xiao Hezi was still a little frizzy in the end, and the fourth elder brother would be in charge of the matter in the future, I was afraid that he would be young and unable to hold his breath.

When the people of Chengqian Palace finally hugged the fourth elder brother and left, Lan Qi and Huanchun stood here alone, and a few people who left the guards respectfully asked Concubine De Niangniang to go back earlier, Lan Qi didn't want them to be difficult, took Huanchun's hand and walked down the steps step by step, and suddenly stood still, Huanchun lit the master with a lantern, and saw her burst into tears.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Huanchun was worried.

"On Yinzhen's first birthday, I walked down this step, and I was heartbroken every step of the way, and I thought that I would never get my son back for the rest of my life." After a burst of sadness, Lan Qi sniffed, calmed down and said, "I don't want to, it's all over." ”

A peaceful night, the next day on the third day of the first month of November, Qin Tianjian early to choose the auspicious time to salute everywhere, early in the morning someone came to lead the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother to wear python robes to make up for the clothes, and went to Ningshou Palace to kneel and bow nine times to the queen mother. After the Queen Mother's words of advice and teaching, she could not delay the next auspicious time, and the third and fourth elder brothers were quickly led to the Qianqing Palace to salute the emperor.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, the complicated dragon robe made him look more majestic and solemn than usual, the two children were respectfully in front of the emperor under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, and the ceremonial official sang the salute, Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng knelt three times and knocked nine times, and thanked his father for his nurturing grace.

After finishing the ceremony, he straightened up, and the fourth elder brother slowly raised his eyes to look at the high emperor Ama, and only his father sat alone in the empty head, and his heart suddenly tightened.

When the eldest brother got married, the emperor had been honored by the queen here, the emperor had read to him countless times, and in the future he would receive a great gift from his son in the Qianqing Palace, and he would personally handle the beautiful and decent wedding for him.

The sadness in his heart was difficult to control, and he couldn't even listen to what his father taught, and the mist condensed in front of him blinded his eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to see his adoptive mother sitting on the head in a golden phoenix robe, and she was looking at herself with a slight smile, as if to say: "Yinzhen, Eniang is really happy." ”

Xuan Ye looked down at the two children, and found that the fourth elder brother's gaze was not on him, and the children had tears in their eyes, looking at the empty place beside him. Many years ago, his cousin sat there and was worshiped by the eldest brother with him, Xuan Ye couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, and then he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw the fourth elder brother rubbing his eyes crampedly. He knew that Lan Qi had always wanted his son to be a loving and righteous man, and it seemed that the experience of his adoptive mother and biological mother had made his mind more mature than that of his siblings, and he had learned how to deal with emotional problems early.

After the ceremony, the two princes withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and then went to their respective mother's palace at an auspicious time, because Concubine Rong was very popular, and like many people, she was "not favored" for a long time, and at the same time the two palaces did happy events, obviously Jingyang Palace was more lively, and Yonghe Palace was a little deserted.

But Lan Qi didn't care about this, she was happy to be quiet and didn't have to greet too many people, she got up early in the morning with a lot of makeup, and wore a heavy crown on her head, when she sat in the main hall of Yonghe Palace, she felt in a trance that she was in a dream, waiting for her son's arrival in Chenguang, from the first day she entered the Forbidden City, to all the scenes related to Xuan Ye appeared in front of her.

When the fourth elder brother arrived in front of him, watching his son kneel and bow twice, Lan Qi's heart became very quiet, Fang Cai's trance was no longer there, at this moment she only felt that she was surrounded by happiness and satisfaction, there was no sadness and reluctance and excessive excitement, sweet joy overflowed from her heart, she looked at her son's gentle and loving smile, so that the fourth elder brother who had experienced loss in the Qianqing Palace was completely relaxed.

Compared with the solemnity of Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen can talk and laugh freely in front of his mother, and both mother and son are not too rigid about the rules, and after the ceremony, they sit and talk as usual, so as to wait for the auspicious time of the next etiquette.

This made the concubines who came to watch the ceremony very surprised, Su Zhide Concubine was in front of the queen mother and the emperor, but she didn't expect that even the relationship with her son who had not been by her side for more than ten years was so good, and she couldn't figure out whether it was God's blessing to her, or her own hard work to earn all this.

The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother welcomed the marriage this time, and the wedding of the eldest brother in the past, Luan Yiwei prepared an eight-carrying colored sedan chair surrounded by red satin, and selected a person in charge of the internal affairs office who was in line with the year and birthday, and led 20 subordinate officials, one escort and 40 guards, who were responsible for marrying the newlyweds.

Then select the wife of the minister of the internal affairs department who is in charge of the year and birthday, and lead eight female officials such as the wife of the internal manager to serve as the attendant female officials, respectively, to the Fujin family and the imperial palace to pay respects, and the commander of the infantry army is responsible for cleaning the road from the palace gate to the Fujin family, and the honor guard goes from the palace to the Fujin mother's house outside the palace.

Because of the strict rules of royal etiquette, there will not be any tear-jerking parting scene in the Fujin Mansion, when it is auspicious, the internal supervisor will display the colored sedan chair in the middle hall, the Fujin dress out of the cabinet, and the female officer will serve on the sedan chair, eight internal supervisors will be raised, there are lanterns sixteen, torch twenty leads, female officials entourage, the front guard of honor, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the escort of the army are respectively led by the subordinate officers and the escort before and after.

Outside the imperial palace, the guard of honor stopped, withdrew, everyone dismounted and entered, and the female official went to the prince's residence with the sedan chair to wait for Fu Jin to get off the sedan chair, and led Fu Jin into the palace, and then held a ceremony of joining the family, and the woman who was waiting here led the newlyweds to salute.

Although there is a lively, but due to the strict rules of the palace, all things are in order, under the careful preparation of Concubine Rong and Concubine De, a whole day of etiquette, Shun Shun should be no place wrong, the newcomers are in their own palace to perform the ceremony, after the ceremony there will be eunuchs reported to Ningshou Palace, Qianqing Palace and concubine palace, this day's serious things, it is basically all right.

After that, the prince's residence set up a banquet of 60 tables to entertain the parents and relatives of Fujin, and the people and etiquette attending were similar to the initial ceremony held in Fujin's house before, and there was nothing new. The emperor and the concubines celebrated in the inner palace of the queen mother, and did not attend this banquet, the royal wedding, although grand and luxurious, but there was a lot less folk excitement and family affection, all kinds of helplessness, only they can understand.

The fourth elder brother coped with the excitement of the banquet, the slightly drunk young man returned to the wedding room in auspicious clothes, the bride and grandmother had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Hezi was busy stuffing red envelopes for everyone, and everyone was able to let the newcomer retreat, * A moment is worth a thousand gold, even if the rules of Brother Fujin can not be less in the future, no one will disturb tonight.

The fourth elder brother sat at the table, slowly drinking the decanting soup in the bowl, and the bride was sitting on the couch in a gorgeous dress, her red hijab had already been lifted, but she sat stupidly, not daring to approach her husband.
