"The little princess and nurse are taking care of it, and the mother has no strength to hold the child now, you can rest assured that you will raise your strength, and when you wake up from sleep, the slave will let them bring the little princess to you to see." Mama Su Mala comforted, but she could also see that Concubine De really looked better after giving birth than during pregnancy, thinking about it, she was really afraid, in case the doctor didn't check it in time, maybe now heaven and man would be separated forever.

Lan Qi smiled weakly, "Sure enough, it's the little princess?" ”

"Niangniang still doesn't know? yes, it's a little princess. Mama smiled, "The slave maid just glanced at it, but it was beautiful, more beautiful than the mother." ”

Lan Qi was very happy and said happily: "In this way, the Queen Mother will lose me five hundred taels of silver, and Mama remembers to come for me, and she will return the gifts from the palaces when she turns around." ”

Mama Su Mala smiled with tears in her eyes: "What is five hundred taels of silver, the Empress Dowager said, she will give you whatever you want, and the hairpin you liked before will also be given to you." ”

"It's better to have children." Lan Qi smiled, but she was too weak, she couldn't say a few words and fell asleep, after the mother coaxed her to sleep, she left the bed and went straight to the little princess, the atmosphere here was heavy, the nurse said, "The little princess is very weak, but the slave feeds, the princess eats very hard, although she can't eat anything at all, but the princess seems to want to live." ”

A word made Mama sad, she didn't have time to look at the child just now, just casually coaxed Concubine De, at this moment, it is indeed a beautiful child, the newborn baby is beautiful, this child has long eyeliner and a straight nose, if you open your eyes, she must be a pretty girl.

"You take care of it wholeheartedly, the princess is congenitally deficient, and I won't blame you if I don't have a chance to die, but you are not allowed to be neglected, otherwise you will never be spared." Mama was kind and powerful, and ordered everyone to take care of the princess, and Luzhu asked, "If Niangniang wants to see the child, will you show it to Niangniang?" ”

"The emperor will come over in a while, you can ask the emperor." Mama didn't make a decision, and after seeing the mother and daughter, she was going back to Cining Palace, and when she left, she remembered and asked, "Where is the sixth elder brother?" ”

Lu Zhu hurriedly said: "The sixth elder brother is in the Chengqian Palace, and when the Tai Hospital came to prepare to give birth to the mother, the imperial concubine Niangniang personally came to take the sixth elder brother away, saying that we can't be busy here." ”

Mama was very comforted, and then went back to Cining Palace to talk about it, and the Empress Dowager also sighed: "She finally lived up to Xuan Ye's kindness to her over the years, and she has grown." ”

When the six palaces all knew that Concubine De gave birth to a princess for the emperor, and even the queen mother went to take a look at the child, the emperor had just broken up with the ministers here, and when he heard Gonggong Li tell Lan Qi about this nine deaths, he was almost dumbfounded, and he couldn't wait to blame Gonggong Li for not reporting, and immediately went to Yonghe Palace.

At that time, the imperial concubine sent Yinzuo back, entered the house and glanced at the sleeping Concubine De, and saw that she was angry and haggard and pale, and secretly sighed in her heart, listening to Qinglian say that Concubine De never said anything when she gave birth to a child, and she admired her a little, and then was about to withdraw, but when she saw that the saint had arrived, Xuan Ye went straight here, and the imperial concubine was stunned, stopped in front of her and said, "The emperor wants to see Concubine De?" ”

Xuan Ye was very unhappy when he saw her blocking him, although he knew in his heart that this was not in accordance with the rules, but Lan Qi was living and dying for him, and he felt guilty in hindsight, where could he care about any rules and regulations.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to stop you, but so many people here are watching, spreading the word, Concubine De has worked hard, and then you have to look at people's faces again?" The imperial concubine didn't get out of the way, avoiding the emperor's gaze and said, "What's more, the concubines are also there, and the concubines don't want to be told that they don't understand the rules and don't want to be talked about." ”

Xuan Ye was annoyed and was about to open his mouth to scold, but he thought that the imperial concubine would look at people's faces after saying that Concubine De would look at people's faces, and his heart sank, so he finally stopped going inside, and the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief and comforted the emperor: "The emperor has taken a look at the little princess, the concubine has just seen Concubine De, she is still asleep, and you can't speak when you come to you." ”

The emperor was no longer reluctant, hurriedly came to see his delicate daughter, called the imperial doctor to inquire about Concubine De and the princess's body, knowing that Lan Qi was safe and sound, and was out of danger after giving birth, he finally settled down, and only when Luzhu asked him if he wanted to report the princess to Concubine De, Xuan Ye was conflicted again.

"If she wants to watch the child, let her watch it, and don't restrain her from anything." After thinking about it for a long time, Xuan Ye agreed heavily, and then the nurse helped to hold her daughter, the younger child was as light as nothing in her arms, and when she heard the nurse say that the princess seemed to be working hard to live, the dignified son of heaven was in tears.

The imperial concubine has been accompanying the emperor to leave Yonghe Palace, and when the two were about to separate, the imperial concubine suddenly said: "She worked so hard to give birth to the child, but the emperor asked her to give it to the concubine, and the concubine couldn't be so generous to her." ”

Xuan Ye didn't expect her cousin to say this, she felt some comfort in her heart, and persuaded her: "You take care of Yinzhen so well, she doesn't have any complaints in her heart, if you think I am so cruel, continue to take good care of Yinzhen and make up for her for me." ”

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly: "In the final analysis, the emperor is still partial to Concubine De." ”

The two imperial concubines dispersed in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, and when the imperial concubine returned to Chengqian Palace, she felt exhausted, and Concubine De's weak and haggard appearance lingered in front of her. ”

A few days later, due to Concubine De's postpartum weakness, the Queen Mother ordered that the Sixth Palace should not go to visit, and Lan Qi recuperated for two days and gradually recovered, to the surprise of Huanchun and several people, the master never asked to see the little princess.

And the princess's congenital deficiency is no secret, people outside the Yonghe Palace are waiting to see the news, Concubine Yi in Changchun Palace came to visit the door, and saw Concubine Hui teasing the eighth elder brother, she said coldly: "I was fine back then, the queen mother didn't say that I was weak after giving birth, so I took the fifth elder brother away, now Concubine De is so weak, why don't you take the princess away?" They did it on purpose, these two old ladies ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Hui saw that Concubine Yi was about to speak wildly, and scolded, "There are so many newcomers in the palace right now, and you have been caught by someone if you say it carefully, anyway, she can eat openly, what can you and I do?" ”

At this time, Concubine Hui's palace maid came to tell her, saying that the saint had gone to Yonghe Palace, Concubine Hui said that she knew, and listened to Concubine Yi's chatter: "I heard that the emperor was going to the delivery room to see her on the day she was born, but it was stopped by the imperial concubine, which is really strange." ”

Concubine Hui sneered: "The emperor hasn't done anything strange for her, but no one can catch it, and the front and harem can't do anything with her, this is the most unusual." ”

At this moment, Xuan Ye hurried to Yonghe Palace, just because the imperial doctor reported that the little princess was not very good, Xuan Ye was worried that Lan Qi was too sad, and he also knew that Lan Qi had not seen the child at all in the past few days, and he didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

As soon as the emperor entered the door, he saw that the Yonghe Palace was quiet, and the nurse was waiting outside the inner hall, and there seemed to be only Huan Chun inside, and the nurse tearfully said: "The slaves and maids can't bear it, so they still tell the mother, and the mother asked the slaves and maids to bring the princess, and the emperor ......" Everyone bent their knees, "The little princess is afraid that she can't slow down." ”

The child who is congenitally deficient cannot be fed breast milk the day after tomorrow, so the delicate life can not last for a few days, and it is not easy for her to survive hard, it was originally a life that was given up by the imperial doctor as early as in the mother's womb.

Xuan Ye's heart ached, and he walked in step by step, but he heard Lan Qi talking, he got a little closer, and saw Lan Qi sitting on the bed, holding the child in his arms, but he heard her say: "Huanchun, look, the girl has opened her eyes." ”

On the bed, Lan Qi carefully hugged her daughter, she knew that she was weak, she thought she would not be able to hold the child well, but the nurse sent the princess, and she was shocked to her heart as soon as she entered her arms, this child is so light and so small, all of which show the fragility of the little life. At that time, the nurse cruelly told her that the little princess might not be able to survive, but she said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I'll hold her." ”

At this moment, he comforted his youngest daughter: "Huang Ama is too busy, he was not at home in the first few months, and he has been busy fighting in the past few months, and he hasn't even named our daughter, what should I call you?" Lan Qi lowered her head and looked at the child, just now her daughter opened her eyes, she was really beautiful, Lan Qi saw herself from her daughter's eyes, and thought to herself that her daughter must know that she was her mother.

"The doctor said that you are not good in Eniang's stomach, and you are almost going to take away Eniang's life, don't believe their nonsense, Eniang has always known that you are so quiet and never toss Eniang, compared to your brothers, you are too well-behaved, Eniang likes you."

Lan Qi smiled, tears gradually appeared in her eyes, she saw her daughter gradually close her eyes, the healthy milk doll was about to cry when she was awake at this time, but this child never cried, as if she wanted to save her strength and try her best to live more time in this world.

Huan Chun covered her mouth and cried patiently on the side, turned her head and found that the emperor was at the door, and when she saw him staring, she didn't dare to speak, and heard her master call her: "You bring those little bracelets." ”

"Yes." Huanchun hurriedly went to the cabinet and turned out the jewelry box, a pair of delicate small bracelets inside, Lan Qi took it and carefully put it on for her daughter, and smiled tearfully, "This is for the princess from my grandmother, Eniang's Eniang is your grandmother, my grandmother likes girls the most, I know that Eniang has you, she is so frugal and frugal, Tete gave you a pair of gold bracelets, Eniang is so big, she hasn't had her jewelry, you see, grandmother loves you so much." ”

The little princess's arm shook a little, and a faint sound came out of her mouth, Lan Qi was startled, she wanted to hear the child's crying, but after the child's moment, there was no movement, she felt the heat in her chest gradually dissipating, and felt that the faint life was disappearing.

couldn't stop the tears from welling up, but tried hard to say clearly to her daughter: "E-Niang has not been to see you, just because I am afraid that you will see E-Niang, you will have to leave satisfied, E-Niang wants to keep you, good boy, thank you for being my child......"

Lan Qi cried so much that she couldn't speak, the life in her arms disappeared little by little, and when the last breath was withdrawn from the young life, her mother trembled and lowered her head and kissed her, trembling and reaching out to cover her face, "Good child, E-niang will always remember you." ”

Seeing this scene, Huan Chun fell to the ground and cried under his knees, Xuan Ye in front of the door was finally woken up by the crying, and walked a few steps forward, only then did the people on the bed notice his arrival, and bit his lip tightly and didn't want to cry in front of him, but as soon as he let go, he couldn't stop sobbing, and said silently: "Your Majesty, my daughter is gone." ”
