Lan Qi shook her head blankly: "The concubine doesn't know. ”

Xuan Ye said: "I don't know, she must have her calculations, but I'm not curious. In this case, I can only stop leaving her by my side, it's not that I'm ruthless, I just didn't have feelings for her, maybe she changed her mind and made any mistakes in the future, it's better to leave early. ”

Lan Qi understood this, but didn't interject, Xuan Ye continued: "In the blink of an eye, I am at this age, I am not the frizzy young man in front of the imperial grandmother, and when the newcomers come in at the age of fifteen or sixteen years old, they haven't even understood the world, how can I go to communicate with them, I'm afraid I won't even be able to talk together." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "If the concubine enters the palace as a palace maid more than ten or twenty years later, she will probably be a palace maid for a lifetime." ”

"That's not necessarily, what is destined will come true sooner or later." Xuan Ye was relaxed and confident, and said, "But if you let me see it ten or twenty years later, I will indeed think that you are just a little girl who does not know the world." But when we met, although you were a little girl, but I was only twenty years old, at that time we were young and vigorous, but we had a harmonious temper, and the vision of the world was the same, I just felt that I had found a confidant and dependence, you see, everything was doomed. ”

Lan Qi smiled sweetly, she was originally concerned about Chen Chang's affairs, but the emperor's confession was aroused, he ruthlessly broke off Chen Chang's affection on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was tender and took care of himself like Haiti, maybe as Xuan Ye himself said, he was not ruthless, but he was not emotionally attached to other people. For Lan Qi herself, it could not have been better.

Then he said: "Chen Chang is there, Concubine Duan will take good care of it, give birth to a boy and half a girl next year, and ask the emperor for permission to leave the child in Zhongcui Palace." Sister Duan, they worked hard for you to raise your daughters to marry and kiss, and now they are lonely, leaving milk dolls for them to take care of, and it is good to relieve boredom. ”

Xuan Ye promised: "In the future, you are in charge of this kind of thing, I know that you are the most measured." As he spoke, he looked at Lan Qi with a smile, his eyes gradually overflowed with ambiguity, and he whispered, "What kind of incense powder did you use today, it smells so good." ”

"Where did I remember the taste, I felt fresh when I came to the concubine, but it has always been this taste." Lan Qi was angry, and the negative anger wanted to push Xuan Ye away, but the people went up the pole, and the kiss of her lips was about to drill into her body, and she murmured in her mouth, "Then let me smell it again." ”

As soon as he teased her, Lan Qi's body softened, and the gentle township turned over the clouds and rain, and her head was full of lingering affection, but when she calmed down, a faint helplessness would always come to her heart.

The next day the emperor left, when she washed under Huanchun's service, she said to herself: "In a few years, I should stop the brand, and after stopping the brand, he will run to Yonghe Palace twice in three days, and he should really let people gossip, and I can't hang it on my own face." Now that I'm not old, I can still serve him justifiably, and I don't care what others say, but the future will be different. Even at that age, we could still be together, but I had to send a younger woman to him. ”

Huanchun didn't know what to say on the side, but when he saw the master laughing in tears, he was not as sad as in his words: "As a result, it has been more than ten years, I still haven't changed, I have probably become a white-haired old woman, I still think like this, it's okay, I still think of myself as a woman, at least I won't lose myself in the future." ”

Huanchun smiled: "The slave and maid look at it, how can the emperor's affection for you be only between *, that is, these words you say to the slave and maid now, as well as the temper and complaints sent in private in the past, are all the places where the emperor loves you, and your original reality in front of the emperor has been and will be, how can this be replaced by others." ”

Lan Qi sighed lazily: "If I ask you to coax like this, I can be willing to face the newcomer in the future again." ”

After that, Lan Qi privately informed the Duan concubines and Bu Guiren, so that they could take care of Chen Changzai who was waiting to give birth with peace of mind, they didn't have to worry about what the Chen family had angered the emperor, and it was not their fault, and then gave birth to the child safely, and raised it in the Zhongcui Palace so that Chen Changzai could also try to see it, which could be regarded as a favor to her, but in the future, it could no longer be counted on, as beautiful as before.

In contrast, it is really the secret nobleman who is really the "favorite concubine", although the emperor seems to treat her coldly for a while, and because the secret nobleman is no longer shaking in front of people, and Chen Chang is in the back, the people in the palace think that the scenery of Qixiang Palace has passed, who knows that since Chen Chang is pregnant, if there is someone in the Qianqing Palace to serve, it is Liang Gonggong who sent someone to Qixiang Palace to pick up the secret nobleman.

Although the secret nobles always hurry back and forth between the Qianqing Palace and the Qixiang Palace at night, and the people outside almost don't look carefully, the secret nobles are indeed good, and they are not disfigured as the palace people rumored.

And Lan Qi looked at the matter of Qixiang Palace and the secret nobles with a cold eye, and knew from the mouth of the concubine that whether it was the current secret nobles who were favored by themselves, or the emperor who continued to "favor" her as the former Wang, the characters of the two are really different, and the Qixiang Palace, which was distorted and suppressed in the past, is now harmonious and warm. Lan Qi occasionally saw the concubine, and also felt that she was radiant and radiant, and she was living a comfortable and uncomfortable life, and she could see it at a glance.

Time has gradually passed, in November the capital has fallen a few heavy snow, but this winter is warm, at the moment is not cold enough to snow, so there is no silver white snow and no green branches and leaves, the Forbidden City looks particularly solemn and clear. That day the sky is fine, the sun shines on the red top of the gold bricks, the whole imperial city shines, the sedan chair of the four blessings into the palace walks on the long palace road, and the ordinary soft sedan chair seems to be plated with a layer of golden light from a distance, like the queen phoenix in general, naturally Yuxi himself, can not see such a scene.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, Wen Chen Wen Xian was already waiting, carefully supporting his sister-in-law, Wen Chen said in surprise: "Sister-in-law's belly is really big again." ”

Yuxi smiled gently, and entered the door with the sisters-in-law, Lan Qi where could she salute, and asked for a soft cushion on the chair early, so that Huanchun carefully helped her to sit down, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not seen each other for several days, and now seeing Yuxi's ruddy complexion and eyes, Lan Qi's heart was relieved, and she said with a smile: "The maintenance is very good, and you must continue to be cautious." ”

Yuxi agreed one by one, and Wen Chen Wenxian accompanied Erniang to joke for a while, and the two girls quickly asked their mother to send away, after all, Lan Qi still had some thoughtful words to order Yuxi, but after she finished those few words, she listened to Yuxi and said: "Entering the palace today, one is to ask Erniang for peace, and when the road is closed by the heavy snow in the moon, the sons and daughters will not come to you again to ask for peace, and they will not come to join in the excitement on Chinese New Year's Eve, and they only look forward to a safe birth and breeding in the spring next year." ”

Lan Qi nodded: "If you don't come today, I will also call Yinzhen to order you." ”

Yuxi was pleased, but a few strange looks flashed in her eyes, as if she was determined, and then said to her mother-in-law: "Another thing is to say hello to Eniang, Li Fangfujin has been pregnant for two months. ”

Lan Qi was stunned, and she was naturally happy to have her son and heir, but after thinking about it, this must be something that happened when her daughter-in-law was pregnant, Yuxi may not feel good in her heart, so she only smiled faintly: "Just let the people in the house serve her according to the rules, don't make too much fuss, what matters is your own body." ”

Yuxi seemed to be happy to listen to such words, nodded in agreement, Lan Qi said again: "In the palace, I just tell the Queen Mother, don't be too public, now it is not uncommon for Brother A's mansion to have children, you should be more calm and calm." ”

"The son listens to E-niang." Yuxi was satisfied that she was valued and partiality by her mother-in-law, but she was rational in her heart, and she didn't want her mother-in-law to really misunderstand Li Fangfujin's servant, or her husband thought differently, so she explained her agreement with Yinzhen, and finally said timidly, "Erchen was obsessed with his son before, and he must have caused trouble to you, I hope Eniang will not blame Erchen, I will be fine in the future." ”

Lan Qi was pitiful and smiled gently: "You are wholeheartedly for Yinzhen, what does E-Niang blame you for?" Just don't hurt yourself. ”

Yuxi smiled: "E-niang is always partial to me, and sometimes the ministers are distressed by you, and they are too reckless." ”

Lan Qi bowed his head and said: "It's good that you understand it in your heart, and when you have your own child, don't ignore Nian Tong, she is Yinzhen's eldest daughter, even if she is a concubine, it is of great significance, you are good to Nian Tong, others will see it." ”

Yuxi agreed softly and obediently, and then Lan Qi invited the imperial doctor to look at the body of her daughter-in-law, and the imperial doctor said that the pregnant woman and the fetus were very healthy, so she was really relieved, and she didn't want the child to stay in the palace hard, so she sent someone out early.

And this day seems to be destined to be lively, his daughter-in-law just left the palace, and there was news from the seventh elder brother's mansion outside, saying that Fang Fujin was about to give birth. At sunset, I finally heard that the side Fujin gave birth smoothly, gave birth to a small county lord for the seventh elder brother, and the emperor had another granddaughter under his knees.

In the first month of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, several heavy snows in succession, the winter at the end of the old year was not cold, I didn't expect the climate to turn sharply after New Year's Day, there was no New Year's breath, as if it was still in the cold winter wax moon, before the Lantern Festival, the sky was cloudy and the sun was cold and windy, and the people in the palace were hiding in the house to avoid the cold and keep warm, and the rare New Year was not lively in the New Year.

It was also at such a time that there was an annoying thing in Mobei, Galdan refused to surrender to the Qing court after all, and after a few months of respite, he absconded to the desert again, not knowing which oasis to hide in to recuperate, and now he neither harasses Khalkha, nor does he say anything about Alabutan as an enemy, then it is no longer worthy of the emperor's use, there are rumors inside and outside the palace that the emperor intends to encircle and suppress Galdan again, and this time he is bound to be wiped out.
