Lan Qi did not comment on Yuan's promise, but rewarded the beaten eunuch, and told the others around Mama that no matter what, they should not let the palace concubines who did not get the will enter the elder brother's office, the safety of the princesses of the elder brother is one of them, and now that Mama is old, she doesn't want anyone to disturb the person the emperor respects the most.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone gathered in Ningshou Palace, the emperor was not present, but the ladies were at ease. Now there are groups of children and grandchildren, the queen mother has also become a grandmother, the county lords in the big brother's mansion have grown up, and the eldest grandson of Yuqing Palace is already able to run and jump, and he can say a few words on Twitter, and the queen mother has been holding it in her arms and not letting others touch it, which shows the dignity of the eldest grandson.

During the banquet, Concubine Rong said in Lan Qi's ear: "In the past, the Empress Dowager held the eldest brother and the crown prince, and their situation was still in front of us, and it was passed on to a generation in a flash. ”

Lan Qi said with a smile: "My sister is full and upright, it must be the life of a long life, I don't force the four generations to be in the same house, as long as I can accompany the emperor for a lifetime, I will be satisfied." ”

Concubine Rong gently pushed her: "Don't be ashamed, you are not young, these words are so young that you must laugh at us behind your back." ”

Lan Qi was in a very good mood and didn't care if she said a few jokes, but Concubine Rong pouted at her Nunu and pointed to a few nobles over there who were often greeting Concubine Yi, but Concubine Yi had a mean face on her face, and Concubine Rong said softly: "The more she twists her jaw like this, can those young people say nice things on the emperor's pillow, if you have to get along with them, why bother?" Thinking about her too, she used to keep Min Chang by her side and tried her best, but now she chooses a lot of young ones, but she refuses. If you say that it is not enough to change sex, how can you think it through? ”

"Something happened to Shengjing over there in the year, my sister doesn't remember? We also said at that time whether Concubine Yi would be implicated, it seems that although the matter is not big, there must be a letter from the family. Lan Qi glanced at Concubine Yi's side, and when she saw that the palace concubines had dispersed, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and said to Sister Rong, "There is another matter of the fifth elder brother's wedding, just hearing my sister say that she has been crying, I feel strange and pitiful, anyway, she doesn't cause trouble for us, let's treat each other politely, how good it is for everyone to be peaceful." ”

Concubine Rong sighed: "She is also in her thirties, it is time to figure it out, the life of fine clothes and jade food in the palace is not good, why bother." At this age, no matter how much the emperor likes it, he has to serve him young, and now if she wants to fight for this breath, isn't she asking for trouble? Saying that, he pushed Lan Qi, "It's not to blame you, the emperor can't let you go at the same age, and he runs to Yonghe Palace twice in three days, of course she can't swallow this breath, I'm afraid that when you are also weak, she can be in a peaceful mood." ”

"Then she'll have to wait." Lan Qi said unceremoniously, "I don't feel old, why can't I compare with those young ones?" ”

The sisters laughed together, and there was a festive atmosphere, and several female dolls came to be coquettish, and the girls hugged them to feed them, and listened to the children chattering. Soon the people from Jingyang Palace came to spread the word, Ji Xin and his master whispered a few words, Concubine Rong thought about it with a sinking face, and still told Lan Qi: "There is an urgent recruitment of imperial doctors in Xianfu Palace, I want to go over and see, whether you can go or not." ”

Lan Qi frowned, shook her head and said, "It's not good to look good if we all go to the banquet, sister, let's go first, and when Lan Ying enters the palace in a few days, I'll go with her." ”

Concubine Rong sighed: "Will the concubine not survive the winter?" After that, he went to the top and asked the Queen Mother to resign, today's dinner was lively, Concubine Rong left without attracting attention, not to mention that Concubine Wen had long been forgotten, if it weren't for the occasional sight of the Ten Elder Brothers, the palace people would almost forget that the Xianfu Palace still lives in the most noble woman in the harem today.

This night from Ningshou Palace dispersed, the fourth elder brother and Yuxi sent Eniang and younger brothers and sisters back, Yinzhen and Lan Qi said a few words, Yuxi went to take care of the younger siblings to wash, when he came back, Huanchun had already said: "The hour is not early, the fourth elder brother and Fujin should also go back early, today I have a hard day with the Queen Mother." ”

Lan Qi instructed his son: "You go outside first to see if the sedan chair is ready, don't let them shake Yuxi." While leaving his daughter-in-law and whispering a few words to her, now the Song family has a big belly, saying that it is the end of the year, and she has not been able to come to the Mid-Autumn Festival today.

Song Gege is waiting to give birth, and Fang Fujin is not invited, but it is Lan Qi's meaning. Although she did not interfere in the life of Yinzhen's family, she said well before entering the side room that only this matter must be obeyed by her son and daughter-in-law. That is, no matter where the fourth elder brother goes in and out, if he wants to accompany his family, only Yuxi can accompany him, if Yuxi is not happy and can't go, Yinzhen will go alone, and he is not allowed to accompany the side room to replace Yuxi's position.

Although Lan Qi herself is only the emperor's concubine, she should be more considerate of those side rooms, but she doesn't know why, but she only wants to maintain the status of her daughter-in-law's main room. This is probably the same as the thousand-year-old contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, obviously the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law in 20 years, but she has become an evil mother-in-law in the eyes of the next generation.

At this moment, he took his daughter-in-law's hand, walked to the door together, asked her a few words if she was in good health, and talked about Song Gege, who was waiting to give birth, Yuxi said that Song was quite well-behaved, and he did not rely on his stomach to be powerful in the house. The important thing is that the fourth elder brother is indifferent to this matter, he has never been very excited about being a father, and he will only go to see the Song family once in ten days, and everyone in the house has eyes, and after a few months of thinking about it, he will no longer follow the blind coaxing.

"You have a good rule, E-Niang knows it." Lan Qi said softly, "You let go of the affairs at home, everything is with E-Niang, as long as others don't bully you, E-Niang doesn't worry about anything." ”

Yuxi was happy to coax her mother-in-law to be happy, and smiled sweetly: "Now Yinzhen listens to her ministers at home, and she is more considerate than before, E-Niang, don't worry." But let's also say that if you leave home, you have to listen to him for everything, and he can understand it, and he won't suffer a loss. ”

The little couple was sweet, Lan Qi liked it in her heart when she heard it, and told her to be careful, so she let her leave the palace early. Yuxi has taken care of the child, Lan Qi wants to take a rest by herself, but when she walks into the inner hall, she can't think of the things in the Xianfu Palace, because she didn't see any news from Concubine Rong, she couldn't guess what was going on there, and she wanted to wait for her son and daughter-in-law to go away, so that she could send someone to Xianfu Palace to ask, but Liang's father-in-law came from the Qianqing Palace.

I thought that the emperor was going to come over at night, but Liang Gonggong said that the emperor and several ministers of the Ministry of Industry discussed the matter of the Yellow River breaking the embankment, which had just entered the palace this morning, and it was not spread out for fear of disturbing the mood of the Queen Mother's holiday, but I am afraid that tonight I will have to discuss all night, so naturally I will not come to Yonghe Palace.

"You go back and serve the emperor well, the emperor is forty years younger, and he can't stay up late, so if you can persuade him, persuade him to go to bed early." Lan Qi's words were meaningless, she knew that Xuan Ye wouldn't listen at all.

But Liang Gonggong received the order, but he had no intention of leaving, but instead glanced at Huanchun and signaled her to go down, and when there was only Concubine De Niangniang in the room, he knelt down and said: "The slave has one more thing, pass on the emperor's meaning, and the slave listens to the slave and gives the slave a quasi-word, and the slave will go back to the emperor immediately." ”

Lan Qi couldn't help but worry, "What's the matter?" ”

Liang Gonggong said: "The hospital told me that the concubine was afraid that she would not survive the winter, and the matter behind the concubine was naturally bothered by the mother, but there was another thing, the emperor had already made up his mind in his heart, and he wanted to hide it from the mother, but if he turned around and asked you to know, there was a misunderstanding, so now let the slave tell the mother." ”

Lan Qi frowned and was silent, her heart sank unconsciously, and she only listened to Liang Gong's justice: "Dongyun has served Empress Xiaozhao and Guifei Niangniang, and has been in the palace for decades, and has worked hard, and the emperor wants to praise the clansmen of Dongyun's family, select a capable son, and give him an official and a half-post in the local area." ”

Lan Qi bowed: "This is a good thing. ”

"But Dongyun ......" Gonggong Liang paused, took a breath and said, "Dongyun knows too many things, it is really not suitable to stay in the palace, and it is not easy to let it out, the emperor intends to let Dongyun be martyred, and he specially asked the slave to inform Niangniang." ”

The word "burial" drilled into her ears, Lan Qi was suffocated when she heard it, and confirmed again to Liang's father-in-law heavily: "Is it the emperor's intention to bury her?" ”

"Naturally, I won't say to Dong Yunming, just wait for the death of the noble concubine Niangniang, and the slave will send someone to do this." In the past few years, Liang's father-in-law has learned most of his master's skills, and his face was very calm when he said these words, and he clearly told Concubine De Niangniang, "The emperor means that since it is man-made, it is not allowed to reveal what wind, and it doesn't matter what others say, so I don't want to have a misunderstanding with Niangniang at that time." ”

But Lan Qi's heart was cold, but she asked, "Then what does the emperor want me to reply?" ”

Liang Gonggong said: "If Niangniang thinks it is inappropriate and wants to save Dongyun's life, the emperor will consider it carefully." ”

Just considering?

Lan Qi closed her eyes helplessly, and every time Xuan Ye said to her, "As long as you don't want to, I won't do it." Every time this is very redundant, Lan Qi has sometimes objected to Xuan Ye's decision, even if she knows that Xuan Ye is sincere to ask her if she is willing, she will choose to obey the emperor.

But this time, how innocent is Dongyun? Conscientious and loyal to serve the Niu Hulu family for decades, but ended up being forced to be martyred, what is the point of the clan being taken care of, can these benefits fall on her? The master and servant have been locked up in Xianfu Palace for so many years, and the emperor doesn't feel that it is inappropriate, why is it that once someone dies, he can't stay alive? What's more, Lan Ying told her early in the morning that she would give Dongyun a few days of good life in the future.

She was heartbroken, and said to Liang Gong: "You go back to the emperor, after I discuss with Ying Fujin another day, if I can find a proper place to place Dongyun, I also ask the emperor to spare her life, as for the care of the clansmen, the emperor does not have to bother, the people of the Niu Hulu family have been taking care of it, and their lives are not bad." ”

Liang Gonggong was stunned, he thought that he was running for nothing, thinking that Concubine De would definitely agree casually, but he didn't expect to bring such a string of words back, and when the emperor asked about it during the half-break at night, Liang Gonggong replied as many times, and Xuan Ye also looked at him in surprise: "Did she say that?" ”

Liang's father-in-law hurriedly responded: "The slave doesn't dare to make a false report." ”

Xuan Ye felt very fresh, it was the first time in more than ten years, and he seemed to be used to Lan Qi's thoughtfulness, but now he was worried about whether she was angry about it and felt that she was vicious. Thinking that several ministers were also tired, and the matter of the river workers was not in a hurry overnight, he simply asked Liang Gonggong to send them, regardless of the fact that it was past midnight, he still took a sedan chair to Yonghe Palace.
