"Eniang, what I told you, don't you tell Huang Ama Ke?" Yin Zhen frowned slightly, and begged her mother, "Can E-Niang beg Huang Ama for me, let me go back to the study to study, Yuqing Palace is not suitable for me after all, it is the place of the second brother." ”

"E-Niang can't promise you that you will never tell Huang Ama, what we have to consider is far above you." Lan Qi said seriously, "I don't want to lie to you and say that I don't want to tell Amma, but I turned around and still told him everything, why don't we discuss it now, do you say it to me or not, and after hearing it, Eniang also told you clearly whether she will tell Huang Ama in the end." ”

Yin Zhen was a little disappointed, but his mother was sincere and didn't force him like a child, but when he discussed this, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, his eyes were full of entanglements, and he couldn't give Lan Qi an answer for a while.

Lan Qi touched his head and said: "Brother is sick and doesn't go to school, I want the imperial doctor to tell you Huang Ama after seeing it, if you don't let the imperial doctor Xuan, everyone will feel strange, today's matter, Eniang will be thoughtful for you first, and the next one will not be an example." And you thought about it yourself for a long time, and when you figured it out, tell me why you don't want to go to Yuqing Palace. ”

"Yes." The fourth elder brother responded weakly.

Lan Qi summoned Huan Chun and Qinglian, asked them to declare the imperial doctor, and talked to the imperial doctor in private, and casually found an excuse to report it, the fourth elder brother rarely hid in the Chengqian Palace for a long time, the mother and son were worried about the two palaces, Lan Qi was calm in front of her son, and only showed her worries when she was alone in the house, and from time to time she asked Huanchun to ask the fourth elder brother how she was, and she was always looking forward to her son looking for her and telling her what happened.

But there was no movement in the Chengqian Palace all day, until the evening, the younger brothers came from school to visit the sick fourth elder brother, Lan Qi was afraid that his son would show his feet, and he would be embarrassed in front of his brothers, so he took the initiative to come over to help him deal with it, and when the brothers dispersed, he decided not to disturb Yinzhen, and told Qinglian to take care of the fourth elder brother, and then left.

But not long after the group walked out of the Chengqian Palace, Xiao Hezi ran out from behind and said anxiously: "Concubine De, Fourth Elder Brother, please go back and sit down." ”

Lan Qi's heart was relieved, and he turned around and came to the door, only to see that his son was already waiting by the door, with guilt on his embarrassed face, Lan Qi took his hand and said: "Look, because you lied about your illness, the younger brothers took it seriously, E-Niang lied to you in the morning, and just now I had to lie in front of my younger brothers. ”

"What E-Niang said is that I will remember it carefully." The fourth elder brother followed Lan Qi all the way back to his house, and when the door was closed and there was no outsider, Lan Qi said again, "Have you thought about it?" E-Niang doesn't promise not to tell you Amma. ”

The fourth elder brother nodded solemnly, helped his mother to sit down, and stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Although the Yuqing Palace is spacious, but after all, she lives in it, and I understand the etiquette of human ethics, and I can't get too close to the imperial sister-in-law, so I have been cautious about my words and deeds, but I will still encounter a lot of embarrassing things." ”

"Embarrassing?" Lan Qi silently speculated about what might happen.

"Eniang, second brother, he ...... I like women. The fourth elder brother said, his face flushed slightly, "He will make love with some palace maids, the people in Yuqing Palace seem to be used to it, but Erchen can't get used to it." Occasionally, there are a few times when even the side Fujin bumps into each other, everyone is very embarrassed, and occasionally they will have some small quarrels, in short, outside the classroom, there are too many rights and wrongs. Yesterday, Erchen heard a few concubines who had been taken in by the second brother talking about it, saying that the prince's brother gave them medicine to prevent them from getting pregnant, and I felt really uncomfortable when I heard these words. Eniang, I can indeed learn a lot of things in Yuqing Palace, but things outside the classroom are too troublesome, I often can't concentrate on studying now, and the second brother is very different from others, and my heart is getting more and more frizzy. ”

What her son said, Xuan Ye told her, she was worried about whether the fourth elder brother would have an impact in Yuqing Palace, she thought that the prince would be more or less restrained in front of his brothers, but it seems that the prince has not changed at all, she doesn't understand why Xuan Ye didn't restrain the prince's behavior behind closed doors, the relationship between the emperor and the prince is becoming more and more distorted after all.

"In this matter, E-Niang can't find a better reason to convince your Emperor Ama to let you leave Yuqing Palace, if you want to leave, you must tell your Emperor Ama." Lan Qi replied, "I don't want my son to be wronged, you don't want to be in Yuqing Palace, E-Niang will try her best to be thoughtful for you, but we can't lie." The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, and everything is faced openly and with a clear conscience, so that you can really stand in a high place. ”

Yin Zhen nodded in agreement, but said worriedly: "If Huang Ama knows that the second brother will inevitably be punished, he is already very depressed. ”

"But he's the crown prince, he should be more sensible than you." Lan Qi pulled Yinzhen to sit beside him and analyzed with him carefully, "If this matter is the result of you leaving Yuqing Palace, it will not be good for anyone, E-Niang has to go and say those words to you Amma, you Ama will blame the prince, and you leave, then everyone will think that you instigated the relationship." No matter what others think, the brotherhood between you and your second brother will be hurt. ”

"I understand, so ......"

"It's not what you think, so, there are only two results in this matter, you leave E-Niang to tell Huang Ama, or don't leave, E-Niang doesn't say anything." Lan Qi interrupted her son's words and said a little strongly, "You choose." ”

Yin Zhen looked at his mother in confusion, pursed his lips and didn't know what to do, Lan Qi guided him: "The knowledge in Yuqing Palace is more rigorous and profound than that in the study, this is what you once told Eniang." ”

"Yes, there are often Western objects in Yuqing Palace, and if Huang Ama gets anything new, he will bring it to the second brother to see, and I have opened my eyes a lot." Yin Zhen replied, and the gaze in his eyes began to waver.

"You go to Yuqing Palace to study and study, the prince's private affairs have nothing to do with you, they are just a mess of porridge, and they have nothing to do with you." Lan Qi said earnestly, "In your life in the next few decades, there are more things to endure, often you can't do anything, the only thing you can do is wait and endure, in comparison, those troubles in Yuqing Palace are really nothing." If you can't make a choice, E-Niang will choose for you, before you get married next year, there is still one year, study in Yuqing Palace, after you get married, it is really no longer suitable to enter and leave Yuqing Palace, there is a side Fujin, and you are also an adult, the human etiquette between uncles and sisters-in-law must indeed be adhered to, and at that time, E-Niang can think of letting you leave. After that, you will begin to contact the government, you will really grow, E-Niang believes that by that time, you will find that these current troubles are not worth mentioning. ”

The fourth elder brother smiled bitterly: "The second elder brother often says that the ministers are very cunning. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hands of the hunter, as long as you are strong enough, you can be fearless." ”

Yin Zhen smiled slightly and asked her mother, "E-Niang doesn't want me to leave Yuqing Palace?" ”

"What you said is not a big deal, it's just some indecent habits of the prince in private, you shouldn't be in charge of it, just ignore it." Lan Qi patted the back of her son's hand and said, "On the contrary, Eniang hopes that you will be patient a little, this is not a grievance, but you want to understand what patience is all about, you grew up under the wing of Huang Eniang, everything goes well and you have never been troubled, but in the future life, even if your Huang Eniang is still there, there will be a lot of helplessness, and you have to face it yourself." ”

Yinzhen's confused eyes gradually became clearer, but she still couldn't make up her mind, and suddenly another thought popped up, and said to her mother seriously: "Can E-Niang promise me one more thing." ”

"Why are there so many requests today? You talk about it first, where does the bad habit come from, always ask someone to agree to you first? Lan Qi was deliberately impatient, but her son was tired of smiling, and looking at the posture, it didn't seem to matter.

"Eniang, Yuxi hasn't been in the palace all these years, she doesn't know what the palace is like, and she doesn't know how powerful the aunts and sisters-in-law in the royal family are, after I marry her, I can stay in the palace justifiably, right? Eniang, you teach Yuxi, she is so quiet, I am afraid that she will be bullied. ”

Lan Qi thought to herself that in the future, when Yinzhen Na Fujin or fell in love with other women, she would tell her daughter-in-law what she said today, so as to appease her daughter-in-law's pantothenic jealousy heart, but she felt that she had too much to do, what to do to meddle in the children's affairs, but because they were all women, they had no choice but to face her husband's three wives and four concubines, Lan Qi couldn't help but feel distressed about Yuxi at this moment.

"E-niang?" Yinzhen pushed her mother, "E-Niang, don't you agree?" ”

Lan Qi said sourly: "E-niang promises you to help you teach Yuxi well, so that she will not be bullied." ”

Yin Zhen smiled, and said to her mother: "It's really a very important thing, Eniang, you don't know, the second brother's side Fujin is very powerful, you must not have seen it, there are really a lot of things that outsiders don't know in Yuqing Palace." ”

"Have you decided?" Lan Qi asked rhetorically.

"Yes, sons must learn to be patient." Yin Zhen nodded, "In addition to converging the light, we must learn to endure unbearable things, Eniang, rest assured, in the last year, I will learn more knowledge in Yuqing Palace." ”

Lan Qi was relieved, said something else to Yinzhen, and told him to rest early before leaving Chengqian Palace. But in Yonghe Palace, the people of the Internal Affairs Office have been waiting for her for a long time, and they want to inform the palace about the preparations for winter, and she has no time to spare, so she has to cheer up and deal with it.

When looking through the accounts, Lan Qi felt that a detail was a little strange, and asked: "Why is Wang Changzai's spending all the grades of nobles, I haven't heard that the emperor has this will, and you made your own decisions?" ”
