The imperial concubine asked happily: "The emperor is going to choose a daughter-in-law for our Yinzhen?" ”

Xuan Ye was stunned and said with a smile: "How old is Yinzhen, how can it be that the daughter-in-law for Yinzhen is to choose a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen, of course, they are still early, but I want you to pay attention in the past few years, and see a good favorite child in your heart." You are the imperial concubine, so this matter naturally has to be discussed with you first, and you should bother. ”

"The responsibility of the concubine is known to the concubine, but I am afraid that the concubine will pick and choose, and the selected one will be left to Yinzhen, and the emperor should not blame the concubine for being partial." The imperial concubine is full of longing for the future, "Our Yinzhen's daughter-in-law is the most dexterous and intelligent child." ”

Xuan Ye was not joking, and said seriously: "If you pick a good one, you will naturally leave it to the prince, I don't need to explain these words to you." ”

The imperial concubine was full of reluctance, and nodded sneeringly: "The concubine knows that naturally the future crown princess is the most important." Remembering something again, he asked the emperor, "The emperor asked his concubines to choose, but the lintel's family background is the most important?" Or don't you want a lintel family background, it's better to have a humble background? ”

Xuan Ye said: "Although I don't want you to value the lintel of your family, the child who can come to you must be from a noble background, and a good background is not a bad thing, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being." Moreover, appearance is secondary, marrying a wife and marrying virtue, the child's conduct must be upright and generous, not to mention what the child can see, the same clean, delicate and lovely, don't worry too much about these. ”

"The emperor told so much, obviously not at ease, the concubine is also uneasy, if it is for Yinzhen to marry a daughter-in-law, the concubine has no scruples, but the princess also let the concubine come to see, even if it is just to see that it is not a thing, the concubine's heart is enough to bear it." The imperial concubine chattered for a long time, and then asked, "It is said that it is still the responsibility to pick the princess and concubine, but how can this eldest brother's Fujin also be a matter of concubines?" Concubine Hui is so upright, the emperor avoids her like this, and it is the right and wrong in the palace, and the concubines are not willing to pick up an extra burden, and they have to be talked about behind their backs when they are tired. ”

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly, he naturally thought about it thoroughly, and said: "It's not really to avoid her, it's just that you choose separately, if you are the same, which one is better?" Although I am partial to the prince, I can't treat Yinhe like this. You, you, do such a thing for me, just say so many things, can I still send you? ”

The imperial concubine smiled softly: "Don't be angry, the concubine just ask a few more words carefully, since you sent someone else, aren't you allowed to ask clearly?" This is about the royal inheritance and the plan of the court, can the concubines not be cautious? Then he deliberately said sourly, "What are you looking for the well-behaved, the best one in the Yonghe Palace next door, what are you looking for a concubine?" ”

Xuan Ye was angry and funny, gently pushed her away and said, "If you really think so, I will go to Concubine De." ”

"Don't, people are kidding." The imperial concubine hurriedly stopped, it was another obsession, but she was also happy, but Xuan Ye saw that she was in such a good mood, as if she had completely forgotten her daughter's premature death, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart, so she didn't want to respond, so she calmed down and asked her why, the imperial concubine said calmly, "The concubine can't come back if she cries and is blind, and the emperor should be tired of seeing too much, why bother?" ”

Xuan Ye was pleased with her calmness, sure enough, he would feel more distressed, if he cried and cried all day long, he didn't know how to face it. In the end, he also advised: "You can choose a child in your own heart, and you don't have to tell the people in the palace for the time being." ”

But Xuan Ye told her in front of the imperial concubine, and after a few days in Yonghe Palace, he told Lan Qi everything, talking about choosing a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen in the future, and comforted her: "The imperial concubine is so excited, I wish I could find the best child in the world now, and line up to choose a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen, it seems that she will be very strong in the future, and you may not be able to interfere." Don't be upset when the time comes, I will give you a good check, and I will definitely choose a good child for Yinzhen. ”

"The concubines haven't thought about these things, if they think about it, they also think about Yinzuo, the imperial concubines may not be at ease about other things, but for the fourth elder brother, a hundred concubines can rest assured." Lan Qi didn't care, and even nestled in Xuan Ye's arms and said with a smile, "Time is really fast, when the concubine was thrown into the dragon couch of the Qianqing Palace, she was still a little girl, and she heard the emperor talk about her daughter-in-law in the blink of an eye, why didn't you think that these seven or eight years were very long." ”

Xuan Ye also sighed: "I was only in my early twenties at that time, and I was very frizzy, and I would be thirty years old. As he spoke, he pinched Lan Qi's cheek, which was as tender as tofu, smooth and soft, and asked with a smile, "But why don't you grow up, why are you still twenty years old?" ”

"The emperor is messing around again, the concubine is already six years younger than you, you are only a young man, where can the concubine be big?" And when it was mentioned, Lan Qi couldn't help asking, "The emperor has a thirty birthday, isn't the Wanshou Festival celebrated, and the palace has never mentioned this matter." ”

"The imperial grandmother is here, what kind of life have I lived, and I spent silver in vain." Xuan Ye said, "Celebrating the platform victory in November, that's a serious matter of spending money, what are you going to do to celebrate my birthday?" Besides, E-Niang is gone, I think of her every birthday, E-Niang didn't have a good time in the palace before, but I haven't had time to honor her, she ......"

"Your Majesty." Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye missed his biological mother, and his face showed a faint look of sadness, and he hurriedly comforted, "Don't be sad, the emperor, you are healthy and healthy, which is the greatest wish of Queen Xiaokang." ”

Xuan Ye didn't want to be uncomfortable mentioning it more, so he was busy reining in his thoughts, diverting the topic and saying something else, mentioning the August Sutra Banquet Ceremony, remembering that he had asked Lan Qi to serve tea in the back and let her also listen to the lectures, so he smiled and said, "Will you go back this time?" Just let the child in the womb also listen, it is a girl, and my daughter must also be educated. ”

Lan Qi shook her head softly: "The concubine is gone, she is unruly and dazzling, she used to be young and didn't know how important it is, but now she is in the concubine position, and she can't be ignorant anymore." ”

Xuan Ye sighed: "If half of the people in the palace have you, I will be very relieved, what else can you be ignorant?" But what you said is right, after all, you are also a mother, how can it be the same as before, but we didn't say it early in the morning, lock the former Xiaochang here? ”

The emperor's hand warmly touched Lan Qi's chest, Lan Qi smiled coquettishly and dodged, lightly punched Xuan Ye, and said angrily: "The emperor doesn't dare to mess around, are you bullying the concubines and are not afraid that the concubines will go to Cining Palace to complain?" ”

Xuan Ye frowned and leaned over and said, "When did I bully you, it was because you didn't have a good mind and thought nonsense. ”

The two frolicked, Xuan Ye naturally wouldn't do anything excessive, but Lan Qi's birth was very safe, which made him less worried, and the two were more open when they were together, unlike before when he was always cautious, for fear that moving more would make Lan Qi uncomfortable, laughter came out from time to time, and the sixth elder brother was coming over, Huan Chun hurriedly came to stop him, and coaxed him to say: "Huang Ama and Eniang are whispering, will the sixth elder brother come back later?" ”

Yinzuo pouted and muttered, "I'm going to say goodnight, and I'll fall asleep when I wait a little longer." ”

Huanchun simply picked him up, walked straight to Brother's house, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid tell the story to the sixth elder brother, the sixth elder brother is really asleep, and the slave and maid will go to say good night for you." ”

The sixth elder brother was coquettish: "Huanchun, let's go and play with the fourth elder brother tomorrow, okay?" ”

Huanchun agreed, coaxed the little brother back to the room all the way, told the story for a long time before the little guy fell asleep peacefully, she was relieved to go back, but the nurse asked her to stay, pulled aside and whispered, "Today, the brothers are playing in the Chengqian Palace, the slave and maid are guarding the side, and I heard the third elder brother saying something to the younger brothers, and the slave and maid heard a few words, as if they were talking about the fourth elder brother, but they didn't really hear it." If you really mention the matter of your adoptive mother and biological mother, I don't know if the fourth elder brother understands it, it's not good to talk nonsense about this matter, can the imperial concubine not be angry? ”

Huanchun was also worried when he heard this, praised the nurse for being careful, and said: "The Empress Dowager once said that there is no need for the people in the palace to avoid this matter, but the imperial concubine has never seen it mentioned it, and the people next to her dare not talk nonsense, and our mother is even more ruthless not to mention it. Concubine Rong won't be able to mention these things without anything, how did the third elder brother know? ”

The nurse said, "The princesses are not small, they understand." ”

"yes, yes, how did I forget the princesses." After Huanchun told the nurse a few words, he turned back and continued to go to the night, and the next day the emperor left, she came in to serve Lan Qi to wash, and was disgusted why she didn't go to rest, Huan Chun only let others go, and told the master what the nurse said, which really made Lan Qi worried.

It doesn't matter if this matter looks good, but the imperial concubine is the most sensitive, this is a taboo in front of her, it is something that cannot be mentioned, if the third elder brother really makes Yinzhen clear, if the child cries, won't it cause trouble for Concubine Rong. Although the imperial concubine is much better tempered than before, when she is fierce, her wrists are still vicious, not to mention poking her heart.

"Niangniang, what should you do, after all, the nurse didn't hear it clearly, if you don't say this, we will find trouble on both sides." Huanchun thought about it for a night, and he had already done everything, "The slave maid thinks that in comparison, it is better for the prophet to meet Concubine Rong, even if it is a misunderstanding that makes her unhappy, it is better to coax than the imperial concubine." And if it is true, give Concubine Rong a reminder first, in case the fourth elder brother makes a fuss, she has a preparation in her heart, so as to prevent the imperial concubine from making trouble. ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "The children are getting older, this matter must be made clear after all, the imperial concubine will have to face Yinzhen's questions about her sooner or later, she may have thought about how to deal with the children eight hundred times in her heart, but if she really encounters it, she will definitely be unwilling." When Concubine Rong came, she thought that Lan Qi was uncomfortable, and when she sat down to listen to this matter, Concubine Rong was at a loss, and explained to Lan Qi in a loud voice, "I have never told this matter in front of the child." ”
