Lan Qi smiled slightly: "In recent years, I have only understood how my sisters felt about me back then. ”

Concubine Rong shook her head: "But we were still young at that time, different, and now we are really old." In the eyes of the young, we thought that we wanted to compete with them for favor, but in fact, we just wanted to cover up the traces of old age and comfort and comfort ourselves. ”

"My sister is the same age as the emperor, isn't it a blessing to be able to increase the years with the emperor?" Lan Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed her and said, "Let's sigh with emotion, we still have to straighten our backs and don't live up to the dignity that the emperor gave us." ”

Concubine Rong agreed with a smile, and the two sisters walked back together, and she sighed again: "You see that Wang Chang is here, a tender face is a thin layer of rouge, it's really good to be young." ”

Lan Qi accompanied her with a few sighs, and when she was about to separate, Concubine Rong suddenly said: "I just remembered that the concubine and the Changchun Palace walked strangely and diligently, if this Wang family follows the concubine, he will also be a frequent visitor to the Changchun Palace in the future." ”

Lan Qi said: "Human nature, she follows the concubine, and she always has to deal with these human contacts." ”

Concubine Rong had no objection, just mentioned it, and then said casually: "I heard Yinzhi say that the eighth elder brother told him in the study that the eldest brother had a big quarrel with his mother in Changchun Palace on the day he returned to Beijing and slammed the door, and this child had a long temper. I thought to myself, I don't care about anything in Yinzhi in the future, I will be angry if I don't manage it well, we still owe them as mothers? ”

"Mother and son quarreled?" Lan Qi took it to heart.

After she was separated from Concubine Rong, Lan Qi sent Huanchun to go to Brother's house, and sure enough, there was news waiting for her from Mama, and the word that came back said that the eldest brother did have a big quarrel with Concubine Hui, but Baoyun couldn't get close to the main hall, and she didn't hear what the mother and son said, but only inquired about it in the mouths of other palace maids and eunuchs, saying that it was for this expedition.

Lan Qi was puzzled after all: "The battle is over, and the people are back, what else can they quarrel for?" ”

Huanchun said: "Why is Niangniang so concerned about Changchun Palace? ”

She showed a chill in her eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't pay attention to them first, they should focus on me, don't look at the poor situation of Changchun Palace now, Concubine Hui loves Jedi rebirth, she can bear it better than anyone else, what she wants is the last glory." ”

Huan Chun smiled: "There is a person who is staring at it all the time, and the mother can save her worries." ”

Lan Qi then remembered that the Juezen nobles in Yanxi Palace had promised to hand over Concubine Hui to her, and couldn't help laughing: "There have been no troubles in recent days, she has rarely been quiet for a while, thinking about her previous life, now she can live up to my old intentions." ”

As Huanchun said, the noble people of Juezen do keep an eye on Changchun Palace all the time, she seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune and live in Yanxi Palace, but in fact, she smiles at everything in this palace and looks at Fengyun's heart, and she knows when to do something, and she came to Yonghe Palace two days later to remind Lan Qi of the things she thinks of these days.

In the afternoon, the two sat in the sunlight under the open window, the weather was getting colder, the house had not yet used charcoal, the sun that could not be avoided in summer, now it has become a reliance on heating, the alternation of seasons, people's needs for sunshine and rain are completely different, but everything is for better survival, and the treatment of nature is still so, not to mention people's hearts.

The two of them each held a pair of needles and threads in their hands, the sun was full and bright, Lan Qi was lazy after watching it for a long time, and when she raised her eyes and saw Juechan's flying needle walking the thread, she couldn't help laughing: "The kung fu in your hands can be called a generation of famous craftsmen, but it is a pity that you are a concubine in the deep palace and cannot be famous in the world." ”

"It's just a kung fu to entertain yourself, and the mother praised it." Jue Chan said, put down the needle and thread in his hand, and asked Lan Qi, "Did Niang Niang think through what the concubine said?" ”

Lan Qi shook his head and said nothing, and Jue Chan continued: "Even if the concubine is worried, please also keep a bottom in your heart, if that is the case, you will have some trouble here, these days a few Fu Jin often come to the palace, and the concubines see that they just want to come to the harem to mediate for their husbands." ”

"If you were you, I would do the same, they are for their own men and for the palace, which is understandable." Lan Qi sighed lightly, and still asked in disbelief, "Will the emperor really let the eldest brother testify against Prince Yu?" ”

It turned out that the Jue Chan clan had been watching the movements of Changchun Palace in the past few days, carefully analyzing the affairs in the court, and estimating that the eldest brother's mother and son could quarrel a lot, I am afraid that there would be such a big conflict, and they would not be able to escape Prince Yu's delay in the military plane. Now that the war situation has been decided, although Galdan is not dead, but his qi is greatly injured, he is unable to invade the Qing Dynasty again in three years and five years, Prince Yu will return sooner or later, so let go of Galdan's account, the emperor should settle it.

Just imagine, if the emperor wants to convict Prince Yu, he must need strong circumstantial evidence, so the one who followed Prince Yu from beginning to end was the eldest brother who was the deputy general, and no one's remarks were more powerful than the eldest brother.

Jue Chan said calmly: "Mingzhu is like watching the fire of the court, and the concubines think that the emperor is afraid of him, most likely because Mingzhu can always guess the emperor's thoughts, how can Concubine Hui know the interests in front of her in the harem, everything is instructed by Mingzhu." The concubine guessed that Mingzhu should have known Concubine Hui and asked Concubine Hui to persuade the eldest brother, and when necessary, he pointed out that Prince Yu was dictatorial and disregarded the holy will, but the eldest brother was young and followed his uncle into battle to kill the enemy, and the situation was not what it used to be, and he wanted him to do such a ruthless thing right now, with the mind of the eldest brother, Concubine Hui might not be able to convince him. ”

Lan Qi's heart was slightly cold, and she said to herself: "If the emperor wants to be Prince Yu, is he going to kill chickens and monkeys?" In the court and the clan, there are still people who are eager to move and have bad intentions, which has always been a hidden danger in the emperor's heart. ”

Unconsciously, she talked to the Juechan clan about the government, and the people who had a tough attitude earlier had to step into it with half a foot after all. Lan Qi realized that her attitude had changed a few days ago, and Jue Chan's empathy and tacit understanding did not make her feel the slightest embarrassment.

"The concubines thought that killing chickens was not enough to set an example to monkeys, Prince Yu could be regarded as the monkey king, and it shocked Prince Yu, and those little people knew that the emperor didn't even look at them, no matter how much trouble they made, they couldn't shake the imperial power." Jue Chan smiled indifferently, her eyes flashed with her disdain to show her wisdom in front of people, and said softly, "Don't get involved in this matter, even if everyone thinks that the emperor is too ruthless, and the concubines are the same." ”

Lan Qi had a stirring in his mind, and said with a smile: "I have a worry, those hairy boys must not be able to understand their father, my fourth elder brother is one of them, but you have to take good care of him, don't make any jokes." mentioned the eighth elder brother in his words, and said tentatively, "Eighth elder brother is also a big child, you ......"

Jue Chan smiled gently: "When will Niangniang's mind fade?" ”

Lan Qi just laughed: "Who called me a mother." Two jokes, she no longer insisted, but entrusted Jue Chan with another matter, "I want Xing'er to be able to take care of the child in her womb in the future, to be honest, if you give birth to an elder brother, it is not very easy to do, but if it is a little princess, it should not be too difficult, but I can't think of the most appropriate way, I always feel that how to do it, will attract people's handles." ”

The noble man of Juezen said: "Niangniang is relieved, the concubine will go back and think about it for you, this matter is indeed not easy to do." ”

The autumn wind gusted over, the weather became colder and colder, and in the blink of an eye, in November, Prince Yu Fuquan finally returned to the court, but the emperor ordered Prince Yu's team to stop outside the Chaoyang Gate, accusing Fuquan of not obeying the emperor's orders, doing his own thing, and really sent the emperor's eldest son Yinhe to testify, counting the sins of Prince Yu, causing the government and the opposition and the harem to be shocked, and the brothers were stupid.

And Prince Yu did not make any argument for himself, and when the words came into the palace, Prince Yu only said with tears in his eyes: "What can I say!" After receiving all the guilt, the emperor discussed with the ministers, and finally ruled that the title of Prince Yu should be removed, fined for three years, the three leaders were removed, and the parliamentary power was abolished.

The punishment of the title is not to be feared, and the abolition of the parliamentary power is the emperor's first move to expel his brother from the imperial power, and no one knows what will happen in the future, and the emperor has begun to fear his brother's prime of life, and is unwilling to let their existence shake the foundation of the imperial power.

Come to think of it, Prince Gong Changning was often blamed by the emperor in the early years, but no matter how embarrassing it was at that time, it would not have been sentenced to such a serious punishment, and now that Prince Yu's parliamentary power has been revoked, it will probably be Prince Gong's turn next. It was once said that the three royal brothers were brothers, friends and brothers, but they were just the scenery of the past, and the empress dowager was gone for only a few years, and the affection between the brothers collapsed. The most ruthless emperor is the family, as it is.

For the government, Lan Qi knows it well, but never talks about right and wrong, these days the rumors in the womb are very lively, she looks at everything indifferently in Yonghe Palace, and what she remembers in her heart is just her son who is full of justice and ethics, and Prince Yu loves several nephews very much, Yinzhen They have followed their uncle in and out of the school field since they were young, riding horses and archery, and they have been in love for many years, not to mention that this time it is a victory, they may not be able to understand why Prince Yu will be punished.

But in the past few days, the fourth elder brother came to ask for peace, talking about homework or idle things, not mentioning the fact that his uncle was convicted by Huang Ama, Lan Qi was curious and worried, and did not dare to take the initiative to bring it up, so that his son misunderstood something, and endured it day by day, until that day it was rumored in the palace that Prince Yu Fujin entered the palace to cry to the queen mother, she did not go to Ningshou Palace to deal with it, and in the evening the child came back from Yuqing Palace and asked his mother: "Eniang, did my aunt enter the palace today?" ”

Lan Qi asked curiously, "What do you care about this?" ”
