Lan Qi remembered that Xuan Ye had said in person that he was afraid that if he slackened the government, he would not be able to sit steadily, but now he is not only lax, he is almost about to ignore his worries? Is this really to take care of her body, or has other plans, and how should she deal with herself, is she just playing chess and joking with him without any scruples, and swaying and spending the years?

Thinking about it, in the end, he still sat down to play chess with him, but his mind would be inadvertently revealed on the chess pieces, and when the chess game was halfway through, Xuan Ye said: "Don't be preoccupied, concentrate on playing chess." I just want to rest for a while, the world can't be chaotic, and the dynasty can't be chaotic, but I have worked hard for forty years to stabilize the country, even if I lose, it is enough for them to toss for several lifetimes. ”

Lan Qi saw that his mind was seen through, so he said, "But you can't stay in Yonghe Palace every day. ”

As soon as the words came out, Xuan Ye looked at her with the same expression as Fang Cai, and almost opened his mouth to beg to keep him, Lan Qi was helpless, and put down a chess piece and said, "Don't make trouble for me." ”

Xuan Ye stretched out his hand and touched her face and said, "Duplicity, don't you want me to be with you every day?" ”

Lan Qi said hypocritically: "Who knows if people want to be with their concubines every day." ”

Although it is a strange thing for the emperor to run back to Yonghe Palace to "recuperate", but the emperor's dragon body is the foundation of the country, and now the four seas are leveling, although small troubles are continuous, such as the past three feudal Galdan and other major events that shake the country's foundation are not at all, the emperor seems to have handed over the power to the prince, and the prince did not really carry much of the burden, not to mention that there is a group of excellent civil and military ministers to assist in opening the way, the emperor is leisurely and leisurely These days, the government and the opposition are very peaceful.

When the birthday banquet is approaching, the eight directions come to congratulate the Quartet, there are a lot of strangely dressed foreigners in the capital, the emperor only occasionally receives one or two important envoys, most of them are the prince and the princes are coping, and the Baylor Mansion must have more strange things, this day the eight blessings Jin entered the palace to ask for peace, and sent two pieces of material to the Yanxi Palace, saying that it was worn by the noble ladies in the Western court, although they did not know what to do, and gave Eniang a fresh look.

But these good concubines opened their eyes in the Pearl Mansion in their early years, and when they saw Bafujin bringing it, they said with a smile: "How many years have Westerners used these to bluff people, and you haven't seen them when you're young." He asked his daughter-in-law, "Where has Concubine Hui been?" ”

Bafujin said: "The things were sent over, but Dafujin is there, they shouldn't be able to talk to me in the past, and it's not interesting to go." ”

The good concubine smiled: "The emperor's promotion of me was originally convenient for you to visit me, but you don't go too far, I know you don't like her in your heart, but there are so many helpless things to do." ”

Bafujin was still reluctant on his face, but said: "Erchen will deal with it well, Yinxi has also done enough work with the eldest brother, listen to your words, the eldest brother and the prince will be treated well, Eniang doesn't have to worry." ”

The concubine nodded: "I know you are smart. As she spoke, she looked at Ba Fu Jin carefully, and saw that the jewelry she was wearing on her temples and the silk she was wearing on her body were not comparable to those in the past, and it must have been because the days in Babel's Mansion had become more prosperous, and there had been such a big change. Cao Yin in Jiangnan can see that he has put a lot of effort into it, and his son has such a "big rich man" behind him, and the more he goes on, he will inevitably live better than his brothers.

She smiled faintly: "Big brother has been unsatisfactory recently, you have to pay more attention." ”

At this moment, in the Yonghe Palace, four or five little eunuchs brought a huge picture frame, saying that it was a foreign painting sent by the emperor to Concubine De Niangniang.

The little eunuchs quickly tore open the paper wrapped in foreign paintings, revealing a colorful corner, which was really fresh. But when the two little eunuchs tore all the papers, they saw a plump woman half-lying in the painting, and there was an exclamation around her, Lan Qi hurriedly covered Dun Ke's eyes and ordered the people below: "Bastard, quickly cover up." ”

But the little princess was amused and giggled, and pulled Lan Qi to jump up and down: "Concubine De, that person is not wearing clothes, I will go and call Sister Chen'er to come and see." ”

Lan Qi was angry and funny, holding her little face and admonishing: "Don't shout everywhere, you are a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, how can you put those unashamed words on your lips?" Dun Ke is the most well-behaved, isn't he? ”

After coaxing like this for a long time, he pulled the hook with the little girl and promised not to talk nonsense outside, Lan Qi waited for Xuan Ye to come back and ask him what he meant, and after the emperor dealt with the foreign ministers in the Qianqing Palace, he ran back in Xingchong, looked for the painting when he entered the door, and asked Lan Qi: "Where did you leave your things?" ”

Huan Chun cried and laughed on the side and said: "Long live Lord, you sent such a naked* woman, the minions were so frightened that their souls were gone, and the mother was embarrassed to put it in front of her eyes." ”

Xuan Ye felt incredible, and then looked at Lan Qi with a straight face, and hurriedly called Liang Gonggong to ask him what was going on, sure enough, it was the Qianqing Palace that sent the wrong one, the emperor obviously asked them to send a landscape painting to Lan Qi to enjoy, Western ink has been brought to China by several foreign ministers Although it has long been not new, it is rare to have a famous work over there, this time it was sent to the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty on her birthday, he picked a pair and wanted to give Lan Qi, and the result was really foreign.

The emperor scolded Liang Gonggong and a few confused little eunuchs, and asked them to take the painting again, so he sat next to Lan Qi and said, "It's all the fault of those minions, do you want to complain?" ”

Lan Qi's cheeks flushed, and she slapped him lightly: "It's okay for the concubine to see it, the girl is still young, I rushed to lead Dun Ke to watch the excitement together, I really didn't scare the girl is the blessing of the concubine." ”

Xuan Ye smiled and asked, "Dun Ke is scared?" ”

Lan Qi smiled helplessly: "I'm not scared, I'm excited to go to Xiao Chen'er to see, the daughter you gave birth to is really amazing, and the concubine's heart is still beating at this moment." ”

Xuan Ye crooked her and said that she wanted to rub it, and asked, "What about that painting?" ”

Lan Qi saw that he had an ambiguous face, and smiled and was disgusted: "What are you still keeping to do, are you keeping it to ask others to do bad things?" ”

Xuan Ye touched her hand and sighed, sighing: "Western women are really plump, I have seen it in the Qianqing Palace." When he said this, he glanced at Lan Qi with his eyes, and Lan Qi was so angry that he scolded him, "The blue sky and the white sun, the emperor is really amazing." ”

Speaking kung fu, the outside informed the Internal Affairs Office to send utensils for Concubine De Niangniang to check, it is the utensils to be placed in front of the foreign minister's table at the birthday banquet, Lan Qi sorted out her clothes in front of the mirror, completely ignored Xuan Ye and walked out, the emperor followed her out with a blank eye, and was also said by Lan Qi: "The people in the Internal Affairs Office are careful, the emperor is just watching from the side, don't look back, you say a word more, they will wear small shoes for the concubines in the future." ”

Xuan Ye scolded in a low voice: "It's against theirs." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Is the emperor all using scare when dealing with ministers?" The concubines are not aggrieved, no matter what they do, they are all slaves who can't turn the world, the important thing is that someone does an errand. ”

And the people from the Internal Affairs Office found that the emperor was also in Yonghe Palace, and they all fell to the ground and didn't dare to move. The last time I angered Concubine Rong and Concubine De, I was indeed not asked about any crime, but this was the handle that they were caught by the two mothers, no matter how dedicated they are now, they are afraid that the ladies will settle accounts after the autumn, and when they see the emperor here today, they all understand that if Concubine De Niangniang says nothing, they will be finished.

Fortunately, this batch of things is very satisfying, Lan Qi also praised their purchase and now the abacus is more refined, and sent someone to bring things down, Xuan Ye asked curiously: "You must bow down to such things, even the utensils have to be checked one by one, and no matter how many hands there are, I can't be busy with ten more hands, if I manage the government like you, I won't be tired to death?" ”

Lan Qi washed her hands, picked out some acacia flower paste in the box that Huan Chun brought and wiped it on her hands, and did not break her promise to mention their deception last time, but said: "The family and country are big, of course the emperor can't do this, but no matter how big the Forbidden City is, there is always a boundary, and no matter how many people in the palace there are, you can count them, and the concubines and Sister Rong have long been used to it." ”

Xuan Ye played with the agate wrench in his hand, and said with admiration: "Among you firewood, rice, oil and salt, there are really a lot of university questions, and I will follow you tomorrow to see the excitement, I have really not carefully seen how you do things over the years." But a moment ago, he was still sitting and talking well, and as soon as Huanchun walked away at this moment, Xuan Ye leaned over and smelled the fragrance of acacia flowers in Lan Qi's hand, and said softly, "Shall we enjoy that painting at night?" ”

Lan Qi's heart was hot, and she pushed him back and walked away.

It happened that the Qianqing Palace hurriedly came, saying that the prince of Horqin had just arrived in the capital, and the prince sent someone to ask if he could see the lord, Xuan Ye was about to leave with a serious face, and everyone surrounded him to put on his clothes neatly, Xuan Ye said: "The people of Horqin are coming, I will take them to Ningshou Palace to meet the Queen Mother at night, and they will come back later, you can eat by yourself." ”

Lan Qi was helpless: "Why do you still want to come?" ”

Xuan Ye nodded and smiled: "They all know that I am here to recuperate, not to mention that we have to reward ......" Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was pushed out by Lan Qi.

Because the emperor ordered to meet the people of Horqin directly in Ningshou Palace, the news reached Yuqing Palace, and the prince was so tired that he was resting on his pillow.

He thought that if the emperor Ama was gone, he would be gone, and told the third or fourth elder brother to deal with it, and it didn't matter if he waited for a day, but when the news came that he wanted to take him to Ningshou Palace to meet the queen mother, he let out a long sigh: "This is endless, isn't it just to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, where did so many people come from?" ”

The crown princess has already brought someone to bring the court clothes, and when she saw the prince complaining so much, she patiently persuaded: "When I sorted out the roster, you saw it, there were countless guests at this banquet, and you also said at that time, I don't know if Huang Ama will take you to meet the envoy and the prince, and now Huang Ama lets you take charge alone, how can you complain." Huang Ama has been the emperor for forty years, and he has been tireless, diligent and hardworking. ”

Yinren was full of resentment, but he couldn't refute his wife's words, so he could only sigh coldly: "But all this is much more sudden than I imagined." ”
