Lan Qi thought that day when she saw the crown princess sitting in front of the gate of Yuqing Palace in despair, she must have encountered something big to make her so gaffe, but she had never inquired about the affairs of Yuqing Palace, and when she heard Xuan Ye say this at this moment, she knew that it had reached that point. But what can she say, she is not her son and daughter-in-law, she can only smile: "The quarrel of the children's family, the emperor is still serious?" When the concubine is bold, she still quarrels with you, how can those words be counted. ”

"Kids?" Xuan Ye snorted indifferently and asked Lan Qi, "Are they still children?" ”

Lan Qi was stunned, wasn't she? The prince was twenty-five years old at the beginning of May, and the eldest brother was running for thirty, she always regarded the Yinzhen brothers and sisters as children, and inadvertently counted the eldest brother and the prince as well.

"What did the prince tell you?" So far, Lan Qi can only accompany Xuan Ye to say a few words, the weather is boring, and it is even worse for him to hold it in his heart.

Xuan Ye said that the matter was in the past, and the couple had reconciled as before, but the reason for the matter made him heartbroken, this time he deliberately led the minister of Beijing to make up for the shortfall, but he didn't expect to involve the prince as well, most of the prince's silver was filled by the princess's mother's family, and their husband and wife had a conflict because of this, the princess didn't care, but the prince couldn't pull his face, and felt that he was a dwarf in front of his wife.

Lan Qi was shocked when she heard this, she didn't care about asking the prince, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Yinzhen has such a thing in his hands?" ”

Xuan Ye shook his head: "The errand he handles right now doesn't have any oil and water." The emperor sighed tiredly, "The emperor's grandmother said early that the cook does not steal grain and does not harvest, so that I look down on some of the buying and selling bribes in the officialdom, but they are not greedy enough, if I don't rectify it, the country will be hollowed out." ”

Lan Qi caressed his heart and comforted: "The emperor is angry." ”

Xuan Ye was furious: "It's better now, the emperor's brothers are also greedy, and they join forces inside and outside, probably one day even the dragon chair on the Taihe Palace, they will steal it to exchange for silver." ”

Seeing that the emperor was getting more and more serious, Lan Qi thought of the matter at her sister's house, and hurriedly bent her knees on the ground, hesitating and uneasy: "This time, Aling's mansion has nothing to do with it, and Lan Ying also came to cry to the concubine." Since the emperor and the concubines have mentioned it at this moment, the concubines want to ask the emperor for something. ”

Xuan Ye frowned and looked at her, and nodded slightly: "You get up and speak." ”

Lan Qi didn't move, looked up at him and said: "What a serious and solemn thing to suppress corruption, the concubine doesn't dare to trouble you, but the concubine only has Lan Ying's sister, if the emperor wants to do Ah Ling, please leave your sister and her children, and send them back to the concubine's mother's house, even if you say to the outside world that she is dead, don't get her involved, it's okay to leave her alive?" ”

Xuan Ye said solemnly: "You say such things, what do you think, when you encounter such a thing, the first thing you think of is selfishness?" ”

Lan Qi's heart was swaying, but her will was very firm, and she bowed her head and said: "The concubine can't do the righteous thing of killing her relatives, even if Lan Ying can't leave Ah Ling'a to live alone, the concubine can't watch her die." ”

"What if I don't agree?"

"The emperor will agree." Lan Qi did not flinch, and kowtowed deeply, "There is really that day, please ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

But Xuan Ye's cold voice came from the top of his head and asked: "There is always room for Lan Ying's affairs, it is not difficult for me to follow you, but if one day Yinzhen is also involved in this kind of thing, what should I do, what should you do?" ”

Lan Qi tensed all over, and tried to calm down and said: "The concubine will tell Yinzhen that no matter how difficult it is in the court, he can't go along with it, don't leave any handle in the hands of others, and when he retreats one day, he can end up clean." ”

"Then it's decided, if the son has trespassed on the thunder pool, I will ask you." Xuan Ye's tone gradually relaxed, and he raised his hand to signal, "I can't pull you at this time, hurry up and sit next to me." ”

Lan Qi was a little confused, and before she sat down, Xuan Ye held her hand and said: "I have taken care of my sons closely, and I have beaten them all the time, what you say as a mother is soft and listening, they will not hate you, if I talk too much, they will not only be disgusted, but also feel that I don't trust them." But no matter how much trust I have, I can't resist the temptation of the flower world, there are too many traps outside the Forbidden City, and those treacherous and cunning things are all stretching out their hands to pull their sons away from me one by one. You have to watch over your sons for me. ”

"Yes." Lan Qi was uneasy and agreed tremblingly.

Xuan Ye was very dissatisfied, and said with disgust: "It's so difficult to respond? But as he spoke, he smiled, put his arms around Lan Qi and let her lie on his chest, and somehow said, "The children are here, I am very relieved." ”

"The emperor is restless tonight, and he wants to speak one out at a time, and the concubines are about to be unable to keep up." Lan Qi struggled slightly, put Xuan Ye's hand down, took the fan on the side and shook it gently, and said gently, "If there is anything to talk about tomorrow, I will always accompany you and not go away." ”

But Xuan Ye still stretched out his hand, held Lan Qi's cheek, and said affectionately: "I miss you so much, I feel relieved to see you." ”

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just sitting here." Lan Qi realized that Xuan Ye's reason was gradually swallowed up by emotion, and understood that he must be extremely tired, and the tiredness and pain of his body would make people become restless, making him look at things and people completely from the emotional point of view, she didn't understand national affairs, and she didn't have the wisdom and mind of the Queen Mother, but she could take care of her husband and make him face the world with high spirits.

That night, the lights of the Qianqing Palace were extinguished early, Concubine De stayed there and did not leave, and the people in the palace looked at it coldly, thinking that Concubine De would occupy the emperor for at least a while, but the next day the emperor went to the court, and soon after Concubine De returned to Yonghe Palace, she looked for the nobles.

Concubine Tong accompanied the nobles to Yonghe Palace, Concubine Tong was also worried that Concubine De would misunderstand something with the nobles, and wanted to say a few words for her, but she didn't expect Lan Qi to call the nobles to her, tell her some of the emperor's likes and dislikes, and tell her that she must be cautious and careful in those things. After the clever little nobleman wrote it down, he asked her to go to the Qianqing Palace to take care of the emperor, and said without hesitation: "The emperor has flashed his waist, and you have to persuade the emperor to restrain himself in those things." ”

The young nobleman was ashamed, blushing and thanking him and leaving, Concubine Tong watched her walk away, and said to Lan Qi in surprise: "It's the first time to see who you are pointing at like this, but the temperament with the nobleman is really good, and it is not surprising that the emperor likes her." ”

"As long as you don't feel bad, I'll be fine." Lan Qi said with a smile, "The emperor put her with you, obviously sooner or later he will stay by his side, only you will be clean and will not let you learn bad from the nobles, and if you put her elsewhere or be bullied or seduced, it will be bad if you change your nature." ”

Concubine Tong didn't know that there was such an intention, and asked more and more surprised: "The emperor originally looked at Chuxiu Palace like this?" ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Otherwise? ”

In this way, since the second day of the holy drive back to Luan, he has been with the nobles by the emperor's side, and when he is not at ease with the nobles, it is the secret nobles who take care of the emperor. The grace of the two nobles is comparable, but the secret nobleman is now so low-key that he can't even see people, and the nobleman is gentle and lovely, but it is rare that when the emperor has a favorite concubine by his side, the people in the palace can't find their shortcomings.

A Han woman and a Manchu daughter, not only get along with each other in harmony, but also often communicate with secret nobles in private, for Lan Qi and Xuan Ye, and nobles have never seen the big and small Wang family, it doesn't matter if she and the secret nobles interact, and I wish that the concubines would get along harmoniously, so that there would be peace in the six palaces.

The emperor's peace was handed over to two young and reliable people, and Lan Qi had a lot of peace of mind. The fatigue brought by spending a night in the Qianqing Palace that day made me know the severity of it. Although she is not really old, she can't compare to the energy of her twenties, and if she wants to be a long stream, she can't be too strong, and now there is a marriage of Princess Brother waiting to be done, she doesn't have three heads and six arms, and she can't take herself too seriously.

In a blink of an eye, it was the scorching heat of June, and it was supposed to be a day to recuperate, but the Fujin of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had not yet been selected, and even the queen mother was worried, laughing and saying that he was crazy when he went out, and he forgot about serious things, and the elder brother's mansion and the princess's mansion were built, and the furniture was added one after another, that is, the emperor wanted to do happy events in July and August, and it was more than enough to catch up.

Because of the hot weather, it is not appropriate to summon all the girls to be selected into the palace, and the waiting time will inevitably suffer from heat stroke, the queen mother took the concubines to see some people every day, procrastinating for several days, before and after the people were all seen, but the days before and after dragged on too long, Concubine Yi didn't remember which people she had seen, and when the queen mother fulfilled her promise to choose herself for the ninth elder brother, she couldn't say why.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but get angry, and without waiting for her to figure it out, she first set the Fujin of the tenth elder brother, which was different from his brothers, and chose the Mengjia show girl Abahai Borzigit clan, who was the first person in the imperial brother to marry the Mongolian Fujin.

In Lan Qi's view, the queen mother must have been instructed by the emperor to do this, the tenth elder brother is from a noble background among the brothers, if you don't count the complex relationship between Yinzhen, second only to the crown prince, they can compare with the third elder brother, the emperor did not choose Fujin for him among the Manchu nobles, but chose a Mongolian woman, the intention of which is naturally only understood by the emperor himself.

As for Brother Jiu, he also has his brother and the fifth elder brother got married early, which clan Brother Jiu married with doesn't seem to have much impact on the court, the Queen Mother promised Concubine Yi to let her choose by herself, and now she has fulfilled her promise, the emperor must also know one or two, if it has an impact, he will definitely think of blocking it.

But Concubine Yi was dazzled, and when the emperor made a holy decree to select the children of the Abahai Borzigit clan for the ten elder brothers, she hadn't been able to give a letter of approval, and the queen mother couldn't help but be angry, and she couldn't let Lan Qi tell the emperor because she dragged things down alone, if Concubine Yi couldn't make up her mind, let the emperor decide.
