Lan Qi thought in her heart, this time she and Concubine Rong gave Concubine Yi enough opportunities, although what was sent to them was indispensable to cut something, she could take as much as she could from Concubine Yi's hands. Concubine Yi is not a fool, she doesn't dare to be too public, but there are some accounts that are not right everywhere, and Lan Qi has all her thoughts. So Concubine Yi has always been happy and satisfied, and she has never complained at all because her proposal was rejected, as long as she can get benefits from it, it doesn't matter what the Queen Mother's birthday banquet looks like.

The princess's words, either the palace maid and eunuch chewed her tongue indiscriminately, or the princess made it up casually, what she wanted to say should be behind.

These thoughts were quickly flipped in her head, and Lan Qi had already said: "Concubine Rong and I have always been frugal, I am afraid that we will not be able to make the Queen Mother's birthday banquet decent, Concubine Yi has a wide vision and knows what is in vogue outside the palace, and she will not make the royal relatives and nobles who come to the banquet think that we are stingy." said that this time to learn from each other's strengths, it was not that Concubine Yi's idea was rejected, and everyone was happy. ”

The crown princess smiled embarrassedly: "Sure enough, the concubine is too careful, and she always encounters such things, so she thinks like that." ”

Lan Qi heard what she said, and as soon as she frowned slightly, the crown princess continued: "The excerpt handed by the crown prince is always rejected by the emperor for many reasons, and he has not seen it well once, and the prince is disheartened and almost has no motivation. This time I went to Tianjin with Huang Amma, and I was in a really good mood when I came back, these days I saw what he was studying, and he wrote a stack of paper on the draft fold, and I was really worried that if he handed it and asked Huang Ama to return it, he would definitely not be able to bear it. ”

"...... like this" Lan Qi smiled, her heart was already confused, what is the princess's plan, do you want her to go and tell the emperor? To tell the truth, if the crown prince has a mother with him, whether it is a biological mother or an adoptive mother, when he encounters such a thing, he will definitely be able to ask the emperor through his mother, think about it, if Yuxi came to ask for this kind of thing, she would have told Xuan Ye a long time ago. Even Xuan Ye said that there were some things that he couldn't say directly to his son, for fear that misunderstanding each other would hurt the relationship, so he could convey it tactfully from her, so that the father and son could communicate better.

Sure enough, compared to his brothers, the prince lost thoroughly in this ring.

The crown princess said again: "Niangniang, don't think about it as much as I do, I just thought about it in my heart, and I said it casually when the words came to my mouth." You know, how proud the prince is, if he knew that I was saying such things to you, if the news was heard by the emperor, he would have complained against me. ”

Lan Qi smiled lightly: "I'll just listen to it, writing excerpts and handing excerpts is a matter of government affairs, so we should avoid it." If you don't have anywhere else to say what you want to do in the palace, you often come to sit and sit, although you can't give you any ideas, listen to it. ”

In embarrassing and sensitive matters, excessive politeness is also a kind of silent protest, but this method can only be used on smart people, they will observe words and know that the other party is disgusted with their own affairs, even if they don't stop for a while, they will no longer be aggressive, but if they meet a confused person, then they are bound to follow the pole, and they must not be used.

The crown princess is really a person who can understand, looking at Concubine De's gentle smile, her heart sank, and she nodded and said, "You are still the most comfortable here." ”

The two dispersed soon after, and the crown princess walked out of Yonghe Palace aimlessly, and the palace maid who was close to her supported her and reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, this road is not going to Yuqing Palace." ”

The princess suddenly came back to her senses, and after a long sigh, she turned back to the original way, and the palace maid asked her if she had hit a wall, and the princess said helplessly: "No matter how good she is, she is just a good person who will not harm people, not a good person who can put down everything and dedicate herself to everyone, why should she speak for the prince, I understand." But I begged her sincerely, and she would look at me with vigilance, and she would not blame her, for no one could believe in my sincerity. ”

The palace maid said: "Only we take good care of the prince." ”

The crown princess's eyes were slightly moist, and her breath was weak: "I hope this time, the emperor won't hurt him again." ”

As for the Yonghe Palace, although Lan Qi never opened this mouth to the emperor, the development of things was a little surprising, and she silently didn't know what to do.

It is said that this time the prince followed the emperor out for a while, saw the current situation of the river work with his own eyes, and added the experience accumulated in the previous copywriting, and handed it over as a strategy for governing the Yongding River, which actually won the dragon's heart. The emperor immediately said that the eldest elder brother was in disharmony and that it was not suitable to work hard for the time being, and transferred the eldest elder brother's errand to the crown prince, although this matter must have made many people unconvinced, but if the prince can do his best, he will naturally prevail.

For this matter, Yuqing Palace simply raised his eyebrows, and even the female eunuchs of the palace below felt the difference in the atmosphere inside and outside, the prince was no longer addicted to those pieces of paper, and met with the ministers every day to seek advice, Yuqing Palace was lazy and lazy for a long time and was gone, the ministers came and went frequently, and the ladies had to stay in their own palaces to avoid suspicion, and even the children had a lot less time to play.

When the crown princess is alone in a daze, she will wonder if Concubine De has mentioned something to the emperor, although there is no way to know the answer, but if it is the credit of Concubine De, she is still grateful in her heart.

Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with Lan Qi, but somehow she is also happy for the prince, maybe she really wants to see Xuan Ye happy, in short, this is a very complicated emotion, and she is happy and angry by herself. But the eldest brother's errand was faked by others, Concubine Hui's face must be ugly, she still can't bear it, Concubine Yi is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and shouts everywhere that Concubine Hui is in a bad mood and can't be on an errand, don't bother her about the birthday banquet, so that Concubine Hui has to fight hard to deal with it, so that Concubine Rong and Lan Qi are also embarrassed.

On this day, Da Fu Jin took the children into the palace to ask for peace, the young Xin Fu Jin took four or five year old children, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a sister and brother, this is the eldest brother and the only son of the original match, Hongyu, the little guy was born with a well-behaved personality under the teaching of his mother, and he is very respectful to his stepmother but not intimate, but he only showed a little child's innocence when he saw his grandmother.

Concubine Hui hugged her arms and couldn't put it down, thinking that her son was full of daughters under her knees, looking at the size of her new daughter-in-law, some words lingered on her lips, but she remembered the queen mother's teachings, and swallowed it.

After avoiding the child, Concubine Hui said to her daughter-in-law gently: "Hongyu is still young, you will be intimate with you if you take him for a few more years, the child without a mother is pitiful, if you treat him sincerely, he will definitely be more filial than his own in the future." But this sentence actually poked her own heart, although the eighth elder brother is not without his own mother, but she has never treated it sincerely when she is raised here.

Da Fu Jin's temperament is much more hearty than the original partner, although I have heard that Concubine Hui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not get along well, but they try to communicate with each other, and it is good to be able to speak politely. But today the little woman was very hesitant, sitting on the side, her eyes flickered, Concubine Hui asked her if she had started to make a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, she didn't hear it, or the palace maid reminded her, she was stunned.

Concubine Hui raised her hand to signal the idlers to wait, closed the door and asked the child, "Is there something at home?" ”

Dafu Jin saw that his mother-in-law was quite gentle, and thought that it was their mother and son's business, so he said it, so he told his mother-in-law about the emperor's removal of the eldest brother's errand to govern the river, and the eldest brother sulked at home and drunk and beat the concubine, and said repeatedly: "You must not say that it was the son-in-law's story, the prince was drunk that night, and the next day he knew that he had beaten someone and regretted it. It's just that Erchen was afraid that he would be unhappy and drunk one day, so he thought about it...... Persuade him when. ”

Concubine Hui frowned when she heard this, Mingzhu sent her a letter early in the morning, asking her to stabilize in the palace. Now the situation in the court is changing day by day, no one knows which prince the emperor will value today and tomorrow, a while ago he handed over all the palace guards to the eighth elder brother, but these days it has been withdrawn, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother have been to the nine gates to shake around, but now they don't know what to do in the criminal department.

The princes looked busy every day, but none of them settled down to do something seriously, it is obvious that the emperor is testing them, before all this is settled, whoever is beautiful will make a big move, the merits accumulated by the eldest brother are enough for the brothers to catch up for a few years, and now they must not be in a hurry.

At this moment, after thinking about the words of Mingzhu and her daughter-in-law, Concubine Hui only sighed: "You warned the concubines to keep to themselves, others are angry, when he is really drunk, you stay away, in case you are drunk and beat you up, I can't hang on my face." You're going to have to maintain the dignity of the house, you know? ”

Dafu Jin nodded again and again, remembering his mother-in-law's words firmly, and then because Concubine Hui wanted to stay with Hongyu to play for a few days, she left the palace alone. Concubine Hui later took Hongyu to Ningshou Palace to make the Queen Mother happy, and often took her grandson to dangle in the palace, and gradually calmed down some gossip.

But Lan Qi was busy with the birthday banquet in Yonghe Palace, half of the utensils sent a while ago were mixed with fakes, Concubine Rong was so angry that she smashed it in front of the Internal Affairs Office, and then she had a headache and couldn't get up, but the burden fell on her alone, and when she was busy, Xuan Ye came to her for trouble.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she easily took a breath and rested for a long time, because of the birthday of the Queen Mother in October, this year's palace is only the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Huanchun is talking about one less thing, and the emperor is reported outside, she is happy to cheer up to greet her, Xuan Ye entered the door expressionlessly, Liang Gonggong followed with a book of folds and a stack of manuscripts, Lan Qi also smiled: "Come to me again to grind ink?" ”

Xuan Ye glanced at her and said, "You read it yourself." ”

Lan Qi pushed it away, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, let's better abide by the rules, this is a national event." ”

Xuan Ye looked at her angrily, pushed the manuscript paper over with one hand, and said angrily, "This is an article made by your son." The other hand pressed the fold and said, "This is the strategy that our prince handed over." ”

Lan Qi was frightened by his posture, and reached out to take her son's article tremblingly, thanks to the fact that she was forced by Xuan Ye to read many esoteric books in the past, so that she could not completely understand her son's opinion on the governance of the river workers, but she didn't know when he did it, and the handwriting was not like it, so she couldn't help but say: "This is not like Yinzhen's handwriting." ”

Xuan Ye pushed the prince's excerpt to her and said, "This is the transcript, if you look at the prince's excerpt again, I told you to take care of them?" I'm really happy in vain. ”
