Lan Qi remembered that Gonggong Li had reminded her yesterday evening that the prince had been a little indigestible recently, annoying her to look at some food, but she turned around and forgot, although Gonggong Li would not tell the emperor that it was her negligence, after all, the nannies and grandmothers who followed the prince were the biggest negligence, but she still felt guilty.

Looking at Xuan Ye with a side face, the emperor's very good mood just now really reduced by half, but he was not very angry, he just frowned and instructed Mr. Li: "Just let the imperial doctor take a look, after all, I went back from eating something from Ningshou Palace, and I didn't have to make a fuss to bother the queen mother, and there was no need to publicize this matter everywhere." ”

Manager Li felt relieved, and heard the emperor say: "There is snow on the road and it is difficult to walk, send a few eunuchs with good foot strength to carry the sedan chair, and send the concubine back to Yonghe Palace in a while." As he spoke, he said to Lan Qi as if no one was around, "Go back and have a good rest, I worked hard last night." ”

Lan Qi's face was flushed, fortunately Gonggong Li had already left, she nodded and said nothing, tightly hugged the "imperial order" given to her by Xuan Ye, and then someone came from outside to pick it up, the emperor was going to the Qianqingmen Imperial Gate to listen to the government, and she should go back, but Lan Qi still reminded when they parted: "Although the emperor takes care of the face of the queen mother, he still has to go to see the prince, the prince is still a child." ”

Xuan Ye was pleased: "I have a sense of proportion. ”

The two were in a very good mood to separate, Lan Qi took a warm sedan chair back to Yonghe Palace, and when she entered the door, she heard Yinzuo's babbling voice, first went to put away the box given by Xuan Ye, and then washed her hands and changed her clothes, but saw the nurse and several people around the cradle, Yinzuo actually stood up with the cradle by herself, and was screaming proudly, turning her head to see her mother, she let go and waved when she was happy, but her body lost her center of gravity and sat down with a butt.

Lan Qi hurried over, afraid that his son would cry, but Yinzuo giggled, hugged him and tried to stand up again, the little guy trembled and held Eniang's hand, and shouted excitedly, the nurse and Luzhu on the side all bent their knees to congratulate the master, Lan Qi was also happy, let Huanchun reward everyone, and let her prepare, saying that Yinzuo would take Yinzuo to Cining Palace to report the good news to the Queen Mother at noon.

Huanchun brought things to reward everyone, and after laughing for a while, he said to Lan Qi: "The sixth elder brother will be one year old next month, the empress dowager said earlier that she would make wine for the sixth elder brother, and the master asked where to put it at noon, if it is in our Yonghe Palace, the slave maid can start preparing with others, if it is in Cining Palace, the slave and maid don't have to worry about it." ”

Lan Qi smiled, "You just don't want to worry about it. But after thinking about it, he said, "The fifth elder brother didn't do wine when he was one year old, and the queen mother invited everyone to dinner last night to celebrate the fifth elder brother's first birthday, and the fifth elder brother is still like this, we don't dare to trespass, I went back to the queen mother at noon, anyway, there is nothing lively in the New Year's Festival, there is no need to be extravagant, just ask the old man to reward a valuable thing." ”

Speaking of valuable things, Lan Qi proudly said that the emperor rewarded her with a Maitreya Buddha, and sighed: "He just heard me say a few words to you, and he remembered it in his heart." ”

Huanchun smiled happily: "That day, I gossiped with a few girls, and they all said that if they leave the palace when they reach the age of year in the future, they are afraid that they will not be able to find a good family when they go out, and the slave maid asked why, and they said that they could not find a good man like the master of Long Live Lord." ”

Lan Qi was stunned, and when she woke up, she immediately stretched out her hand to hit Huanchun, and said angrily: "It must have come out of your mouth, you, you, you, ......"

When frolicking, there were guests outside, Duan Concubine, Bu Guiren and Dai Chang came, and when they entered the door, they heard Duan Concubine deliberately sour and said: "It was said that Concubine De Niangniang went to Qianqing Palace to serve hard last night, I said let's not come here, but they have to come to sit, good sister, you work hard, you should rest, you don't have to greet us." ”

Lan Qi's cheeks were crimson, and she pulled Dai Jiashi to sit aside, and said to her: "Duan Concubine Niangniang is the most improper, sister, you are the most demure, and I feel that Zhong Cui Palace can't live another day, so I will come to Yonghe Palace to live." ”

Dai Jia's family is now familiar with them, and then joked: "Don't come to Yonghe Palace to dazzle your eyes, Long Live Lord was originally quite polite to the concubines, if you see the concubines moving to Yonghe Palace to get in the way, you should hate it." ”

Duan Concubine laughed triumphantly, saying that Dai Jiashi was really taught by her well, Lan Qi was so angry that she wanted to bombard them back, and did not let Huanchun give tea to eat, but the joke was a joke after all, and the four of them sat down, only to listen to Bu Guiren's sigh: "I have something to tell you, Yi Concubine cried in front of the door of Ningshou Palace last night, you know, right?" ”

Lan Qi nodded: "When she left with Sister Dai, she sat in front of the door of Ningshou Palace and cried, saying that she wanted to hug the fifth elder brother, which looked strange and pitiful." ”

Dai Jiashi took the tea from Huanchun's hand and continued: "After Niangniang and the concubine left, I heard that Yi Concubine Niangniang still refused to leave, and sprinkled in front of the door of Ningshou Palace. Who knew that she came again early in the morning, so big snow knelt in the snow, begging the queen mother to let her go in to meet the fifth elder brother, at that time the concubine happened to pass, it was the queen mother who said to let the concubine and the people of the elder brother take Yinyou back to the elder brother, Yi Concubine Niangniang should have come to pick up Princess Kejing at that time, but she not only did not take the princess away, but knelt in front of the door to beg. The concubine didn't dare to stay longer, so she and the people of Ah Ge held Yinyou and left. ”

The concubine on the side drank tea and sighed: "Later, she still refused to leave, I heard that the queen mother sent someone to appease her, and someone reported to Cining Palace, the queen mother said that she was crying in front of the door of Ningshou Palace in such a big month, and it was unlucky for the queen mother, and punished her to go back to Yikun Palace to think about it behind closed doors. ”

"She's gotten to this point?" Lan Qi also felt incredible, how could Yigui be a lively and cheerful person in the early years, how could it come down year by year, and become more and more unknown to her, but this momentum of not being afraid of heaven and earth still has the shadow of the beginning, at that time, she was not afraid to say bad things about Concubine Zhao, and no one could stop her.

Duan Concubine said: "If you go to Cining Palace in the future, look at this matter and talk about it, don't make the old man unhappy, I guess the Queen Mother is not happy at this time, I have sent someone to inform Sister Rong and let her go to Ningshou Palace to take a look, the Queen Mother and her can talk to her the most." ”

Dai Jiashi asked softly on the side: "Is it that in the future, the fifth elder brother will not be able to recognize the concubine Niangniang?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what the future would be, they were all women who were mothers, and they had some sympathy for Guo Luoluo.

Earlier, it was said that Yi Concubine was weak and unable to raise the child after giving birth, so she worked hard for the Queen Mother to raise her for a while, but after the summer, Yi Concubine was able to move around, I don't know if it was because Guo Guiren offended the emperor and was grounded, and the child's matter was gone. The queen mother is raised in Ningshou Palace, and the concubines are not allowed to disturb at will on weekdays, Yi Concubine has waited for half a year to see the child, and the emperor does not say a word for her.

"If there is no matter of her sister-in-law, she asks for a few words in front of the emperor, and the child will go back, but because of Guo Guiren's business, she can't open her mouth if she wants to." Duan Concubine said, and pointed to Bu Guiren and Dai Changzai with great satisfaction, "I have you sisters, aren't they better than my own sisters?" How good it is for us to live in harmony. ”

As Duan Concubine said, a few of them are not sisters, but they are as harmonious as brothers and sisters, and they live in peace, but the two sisters in Yikun Palace are not as good as day by day.

Originally, Yi Concubine was quite favored, but since the matter of Guo Guiren in the summer, the emperor has only been to Yikun Palace a few times in half a year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is quite face-saving and said that he wants to come, but he didn't come to say it, and the days after that patronized in Yonghe Palace, and then Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace had two bowls of water and level, where was her turn to get something. And Guo Guiren still doesn't change his temper, even if he is grounded and introspective, he still wants to be angry, the sisters have to quarrel every few days, if it weren't for his fellow sister, Yi Concubine is afraid that she won't be able to tolerate her for a long time.

From the front and back yards live a lowly Jue Chan clan, Guo Guiren or unhappy can still take her out, now without this fox spirit, she has a bad life, full of fire and nowhere to vent, so she beats and scolds the slaves around her at every turn, Taohong is the number one in the Yikun Palace, and when she sees the sky, there are palace maids who come to cry with her, begging to be sent elsewhere, but Taohong doesn't want to cause trouble, just appease and appease.

Last night, Yi Concubine was carried back crying and crying, Guo Guiren chattered in a fuss, and was stunned by a backhand slap under the anger of her sister, after the sisters fell out, early in the morning Yi Concubine went to beg again, and Tao Hong couldn't stop it, and finally made the Queen Mother angry and sent a decree to punish her.

At this time, Yi Concubine was kneeling in front of the door with her spine straight, and a room of womb girls also knelt with her, but Guo Guiren was walking around the courtyard with Ke Jing in her arms, and from time to time she glanced at her sister kneeling in front of the door, and there was a hole on her cheek that was cut by her fingernails when she was slapped, but she was already like a winner, holding her daughter and teaching her: "Aunt is not good, Kejing must learn to be obedient, otherwise the grandmother will punish you." ”

Outside the palace gate, occasionally someone will pass by, whether it is to see a joke or feel embarrassed, are in a hurry to lower their heads and hurry away, the feng shui in the deep palace takes turns, the down-and-out people fall into the well, and they are not allowed to be trampled under their feet in the future, at this moment Taohong knelt down to the master and said: "Half an hour has arrived, the master should get up quickly, the ground is cold." ”

Her knees hurt and she was numb, Yi Concubine had been in a daze, and only then did she come to her senses, the master and servant stood up with their arms and swayed around, and Taohong couldn't help but choke in distress: "Why do you bother?" ”

"Don't cry, what's there to cry about?" Yi Concubine sneered, stood firm and said, "After I entered the palace, the first time I made the six palaces known, wasn't I also punished by Concubine Zhao for kneeling?" What are you afraid of, Wu Yashi was almost beaten to death by the Empress Dowager with a whip, I was just punished for kneeling, she can raise her head and be a person again, what is my suffering? ”
