Su Mala responded: "You know, since the imperial concubine entered the palace, the emperor has not called other concubines again, as for the past two months, after the fourth elder brother died, it is estimated that they have no thoughts. ”

"Fu Lin is angry with Yuan Xi at every turn, laughing and hating, and unscrupulous." Yu'er said, "But he seems to love Dong E's family very much, but he is always cautious, where is it like the queen mother to her sister back then." ”

"Slaves don't know what love is." Su Mala said, "But the emperor and the imperial concubine look at it, it is not enviable at all, but the two years of being good with Concubine Tong have made people's hearts sweet and comfortable." ”

"It is said that people in love suffer from gains and losses, and Fu Lin treats Yuan Xi as if it has become family affection, and Dong Ejiayin may still be in love in his eyes." Yu'er sighed lightly, "He and his woman, it doesn't matter how much they love me, as long as they don't delay the government." ”

Su Mala smiled: "Just now I praised the emperor for his wise decision-making recently, why are you worried again?" ”

Yu'er smiled bitterly: "Yes, I can't let go of my hand, no matter what, what about the ministers, aren't they?" I do have too many places to be sorry for, but this road has been difficult and dangerous, and my heart is prepared for danger in times of peace, and my heart that is not at peace day and night will not be able to be steady. ”

Su Mala was relieved: "God is destined for you to work hard all your life, but so what, what else can't we over?" ”

Yu'er was helpless, shook her head and said, "That's it." She told Su Mala, "You go and warn those imperial doctors that they must keep their mouths shut, the imperial concubine should not be pregnant, and discuss with Fulin in a few days, I also want to talk to Dong Ejiayin to see if she wants to spare her life or have children." ”

Su Mala responded, remembered something again, and said: "Concubine Tong Niangniang has to talk to you about it, Concubine Chen of Chuxiu Palace, looking forward to the fifth elder brother having a name." ”

Yu'er bowed: "Let me think about it and give them an answer tomorrow." ”

In any case, the fifth elder brother finally became famous, the queen mother gave the word "Changning", and sent it to the emperor first, Fu Lin really forgot about this matter to the heel, since the mother had an idea, he didn't bother anymore, and ordered the Zongren Mansion to collect the jade, and the child's name was so set.

Concubine Chen was very happy, knowing that it was Yuan Xi's credit, she hugged Chang Ning to give gifts, Yang Guiren also followed, and Brother sent a few little princesses to them, and the eunuchs and palace maids who stood outside the gate of Jingren Palace were very happy and lively in the room.

When they got together, Fulin happened to have a rare leisure, came from the Qianqing Palace, saw a lot of people in front of the door across the palace road, and asked Wu Liangfu: "Why is it so lively?" ”

"A few ladies and nobles are always here, gathering in Concubine Tong's room to talk." Wu Liangfu said, "The princesses are also there. ”

"Hmm." Fu Lin said, "Send a few plates of fruits in a while, and let Yuan Xi entertain them." ”

Wu Liangfu agreed, and sent the emperor all the way to the gate of Chengqian Palace, which was much quieter than the liveliness of Jingren Palace.

Fu Linxin stepped into the door, and saw that Jia Yin was reading something in front of the desk, and he didn't copy the scriptures as usual, so he stepped forward and said: "Look at your appearance, it seems that you have seen me in the Qianqing Palace, what books are you reading?" ”

Jia Yin got up and saluted, her eyes full of tiredness, and said: "The concubine is looking at the summer in the palace, but I didn't expect that there are dozens of candles just lit. ”

"It's not easy to be in charge, I've worked hard for you." Fu Lin said, "I originally just wanted to give you the right and dignity to dominate, but I didn't expect to be so tired of you, no wonder the queen hides everywhere and doesn't do anything." ”

Jia Yin saw that the emperor was squeezing into the middle palace again, and she really didn't dare to start this topic, so she said: "The emperor is unfortunately here at this time, the concubine was going to finish his work, and go to Yuan Xi to sit there, everyone is there." ”

Fu Lin was distressed: "When you see the fifth elder brother, will you feel sad?" If you're sad, don't go. ”

Even though she still had tears on her cheeks when she dreamed back at midnight, Jiayin knew in her heart that no amount of tears and sadness could save her son's life, and she was awake during the day, she would rather be stronger and more free.

"No, the emperor is here." Jia Yin smiled, "Of course it's with you." ”

Fu Lin said: "I just came to see you, and those ministers are still lining up to see me, drink a cup of tea and leave." ”

In the Jingren Palace in front of him, Wu Liangfu was ordered to send melons and fruits, and everyone naturally knew that the emperor had gone to Chengqian Palace.

Yuan Xi beckoned everyone to eat the fruit, Concubine Chen waved her hand and didn't eat it, and walked inside to hold the fifth elder brother who had just fallen asleep in her arms.

Yang Guiren whispered to Yuan Xi: "Now every night before going to bed, I have to tell him eight hundred times and ask if the palace door is locked." On the day the emperor came to have a child, she cried all night in the cradle, and I have never seen her like that for so many years. You know, in our group, she is the strongest one. ”

Yuan Xi was very helpless, came in with a plate of fruits, and avoided others: "Sister, eat some fruit, it's weird and sweet." ”

Concubine Chen shook her head, hugged the fifth elder brother and said, "So I'm not happy to come to you, because I'm afraid of meeting him, he never goes to the West Sixth Palace, but lives in peace." ”

"I'll come to you next time." Yuan Xi said, "This is next to the Qianqing Palace, and we don't dare to laugh loudly and presumptuously." ”

Concubine Chen glanced at Yuan Xi and said, "Is he really not going to rob my son again?" ”

Yuan Xi bowed his head: "The imperial concubine doesn't want it, what did he rob it for." ”

Chen Concubine had tears in her eyes: "If Dong Ejiayin wants it, does he still want to grab it?" ”

This heart disease, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of, Yuan Xi didn't dare to force it, so he had to comfort and appease Concubine Chen Don't delay her body blindly, after a panic passed, Concubine Chen finally dared to put her son down.

Later, Xiaoquanzi came to tell him that the emperor had returned to Chengqian Palace, and everyone dispersed.

When people went to the empty house, the house suddenly became clean, Yuan Xi stood in front of the door of the palace, looked inside, and then looked outside, his heart was empty.

Vanilla led the palace maids to clean up the tables, chairs and teacups, and when she saw the master standing in front of the door in a daze, she walked up and said: "Master, I didn't say that it was good, I want to enjoy the tranquility here, and in a blink of an eye, the third elder brother is back, and you have to get angry three times a day." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Yes, when I was the most naughty and mischievous, I was as old as him, and when his little uncle was as old as him, my mother was so angry with us every day that she couldn't eat." ”

As the summer grew, under the scorching heat, people were too lazy to go out and walk, and the turmoil in the inner palace at the beginning of the year was over.

The banquet that was originally going to be held during the Dragon Boat Festival was canceled due to mourning for the concubine, which made Jiayin breathe a sigh of relief. And because Yuan Xi warned Wu Liangfu outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace that day, not to go too far, now that things are gradually smoothing out, Jia Yin's brows have also stretched a lot.

And if she is better, Fulin will naturally be better.

Although the pressure in the south has not been alleviated at all, the war is about to break out, Zheng Chenggong can cross the river and go north at any time, at least the inner palace is peaceful, and the people around him have smiles, which is a great comfort to the emperor.

Fu Lin was in a better mood, so he took Jiayin to Yong'an Temple to stay for two days, and moved the court affairs there.

However, on this day, a sweltering day for several days, finally ushered in a drifting heavy rain, a rare cool night, Yuan Xi woke up from a nightmare, she sat up in a daze, walked to the door in a daze, and her heart felt as if she had been crushed.

"Amma, Amma......" Yuan Xi walked into the rain and knelt down in pain.

"Mother?"

"Master, why are you getting rained?"

The palace people who were alarmed came to persuade one after another, but they couldn't pull the people kneeling in the rain, and in the noisy rain, it was Yuan Xi's crying: "Ama ......"

Father and daughter are heart-to-heart, in this rainy night, Tong Tulai, who has been fighting horses all his life, walked the last moment of his life, holding his wife's hand before dying, vaguely not knowing what to say, Tong Guogang's ears were close to his father's lips, and he heard the two words "Xi'er ......"

It was not until the next morning that the news of Tong Tulai's death was sent to the palace, sent to Nanyuan, and also sent to Yong'an Temple.

Su Mala returned to the Forbidden City from Nanyuan, and specially came to Jingren Palace to visit Yuan Xi, and the person who was drenched in the rain in the middle of the night was really sick.

"Take care of yourself." Su Mala held Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Please mourn on Niangniang's Day." ”

Yuan Xi had a splitting headache and a heavy nasal congestion, and replied with difficulty: "Please aunt tell the Queen Mother that everything is fine with me, don't worry about me." I have already explained the affairs of my family, and I am prepared in my heart. ”

"After the Queen Mother ordered the slave maid to visit you, she will take the third elder brother." Su Mala said, "Quietly, don't let people know." ”

Yuan Xi was weak, but he was still sensible, and said: "Ama is gone, and the mourning is for the living, and it is the same whether Xuan Ye goes or not." The Queen Mother cares about me, and I am very grateful, but this matter will be spared. In the future, when Xuan Ye grows up, he often goes to add soil to his master's grave, which is enough. ”

Su Mala glanced out of the door, stopped talking, and wiped the sweat on her forehead for Yuan Xi: "Niangniang should take care of herself, so that she can give birth and raise." ”

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly: "Auntie wants to ask, where is the emperor?" ”
