"Yes, yes, it's the concubine's fault." Lan Qi wanted to admit that she was wrong, just don't let Concubine Yi follow her to Jiangnan alone, Huanchun always said that she had a big heart, that was because she didn't see that she had encountered something important, and said seriously, "If the emperor really takes her south, the concubine will not be able to slow down for about a year and a half." ”

The sour words made Xuan Ye very happy, and swept away the haze when he entered the door, and the people finally softened in this matter, and he pushed himself out with righteousness before, relying on the matter of the six palaces and fighting for him to share his worries, Xuan Ye always felt that he couldn't do it if he wanted to refute, but now when he saw her little family angry, he felt a little angry, and snorted lightly: "I haven't rushed to Yikun Palace, I've never seen you like this." ”

"I haven't seen it, how fresh is it now?" She smiled and retorted, dodged Xuan Ye's hand that wanted to pinch her waist, and said seriously, "It's easy to amuse you, but the affairs in the palace can't be delayed, the affairs of the emperor and the court are even more important, the concubines are sincere, you are busy with yours, don't always worry about me." ”

Xuan Ye nodded: "I have a sense of proportion. He also instructed, "In September and October, you discuss with Concubine Rong and push more things for her to do, and I will talk to her well, and at that time, the matter of the southern tour should also be decided, and I will let her be beautiful for a while, let people know that she will follow, and let her happily let go of the affairs in the palace." ”

Lan Qi was slightly nervous, "Do you want to take her there?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled proudly, nodded her forehead and said, "Of course I won't let her go, I promise to agree, and there are ways to not let her go, stupid." ”

Lan Qi was satisfied now, she also knew that she was not kind to calculate, in comparison, Concubine Yi was pitiful, but she thought, instead of crying generously in front of others, it was better to obey her own wishes, Xuan Ye liked herself instead of Concubine Yi at the moment, if it was the opposite, then she instigated these things, it was really a little unreasonable.

The emperor rested in Yonghe Palace for half an hour before leaving to return to Qianqing Palace, Huanchun saw his master full of spring breeze, smiled and asked what was a good thing, Lan Qi briefly mentioned a few words, Huanchun knew what was going on, but she said: "Just now Liang Gonggong and the slave maid are talking outside, Liang Gonggong is really pitiful, saying that he has not been able to be as handy as Li Gonggong until now, every day is uneasy, the slave and the maid look at yes, one summer over, he has lost a lot of weight." ”

"The errand in front of the emperor is not easy to do, but his master is the person who the emperor has been with since he was a child, how can he catch up." Lan Qi didn't care, and asked Huanchun to send someone to tell Liang's father-in-law, telling him not to be so nervous, and then arranged the affairs of the palace, and asked Concubine Rong to come over tomorrow, and in the evening, let the small kitchen make a few dishes and send them to the Qianqing Palace, and hurriedly stopped everything, just wanted to rest, and heard Wen Xian shouting at Eniang outside the door, and the little girl jumped in and ran in, and hit her mother's arms without a head.

"Look, sweat." Lan Qi was disgusted, hugged her daughter to clean up for her, Wen Xian is getting taller, not like the round flesh before, now he is quite a bit slim, his face is beautiful, his big eyes are flickering, and he always makes people like it more and more, and he is still the nobility of a real royal princess, but as long as he speaks, he is a demon king of the world.

"E-niang, I'm scared to death today." Wen Xian stood on the kang and let her mother change her clothes, and said coquettishly, "Today, my sister-in-law is here, my belly is so big, I am happy to talk to my sister-in-law, but then Hui Niangniang also came, she wanted to take her sister-in-law back to Changchun Palace, and her sister-in-law kept crying and crying, pulling the imperial grandmother and refusing to leave." ”

Lan Qi was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Wen Xian's nurse, who quickly said clearly: "Concubine Hui said that she would take Dafujin to Changchun Palace to recuperate for a few days, and let the grandmother in the palace tell Fujin about being careful when giving birth, and the Queen Mother felt that this was a good thing, so she agreed." But Fu Jin suddenly began to cry, and knelt in front of the Queen Mother with his stomach and said that she was not going, which frightened everyone. The slave hurriedly hugged the princess and avoided it, and she didn't know what was going on. ”

Lan Qi thought that there was no news of this all day, it should be that the Queen Mother did not let people know, and told the nurse not to tell others anymore, turned around and hugged her daughter, and finally deceived the child into promising not to tell others about Da Fu Jin's crying in Ningshou Palace today.

Wen Xian and his sister slept together at night, and when the four children slept quietly, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't feel sleepy for a while, she happened to be a little hungry, so she sat with Huanchun under the window with a bowl of osmanthus lotus root powder, Huanchun didn't dare, Lan Qi said that she was boring alone, so she was only half-pushed and half-accompanied on the spot.

The master and servant were gossiping, and when it came to the matter of Dafujin, Lan Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Why did she make trouble like her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, now that she is in front of the queen mother, she herself has no face and no skin, she used to be a stable and cautious person, why has she become more and more anxious and impulsive in doing things over the years." ”

Huanchun ate half a bowl of lotus root noodles and got tired, seeing that the master was also interested, he took a plate of salt-fried cashew nuts, Lan Qi ate a few, I don't know what thoughts are circling in my head, and said to myself: "If Dafujin gives birth to a boy, I will have some confidence in front of my mother-in-law in the future, but I am very unkind in my heart, and I don't want her to give birth to a grandson." ”

Huan Chun looked around vigilantly, the quiet words in the dead of night were easy to be heard by the people on the side, and when she saw that there was no one around, Lan Qi laughed at her: "You are too nervous." ”

Huanchun said: "Now there are many people in Yonghe Palace, so it's better to be careful." ”

"I listen to you." Lan Qi clapped her hands, got up and stretched her muscles, thinking about the things of these days, thinking about what the emperor had said to her during the day, and suddenly said, "I feel that I am becoming more and more selfish, can you see Huanchun?" ”

Turning around, she saw Huan Chun nodding to herself under the candlelight, she smiled heartily, leaned on the window lattice to see the clear night, didn't know what to think, and said for a long time: "I was very annoyed with myself for a while, and now I can't say what I feel, like I'm used to it." ”

Huanchun said: "Niangniang doesn't want to harm others, what's wrong with being selfish?" ”

"But what does it mean to hurt someone?" Lan Qi asked her, "Is it enough to kill people and set fires?" ”

Huan Chun couldn't understand her words, Lan Qi couldn't figure it out herself, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I'm getting old, and I think the years are too slow, give me ten years, it's enough to understand all this, right?" ”

Under the moonlight, these words disappeared into the night, and the next day dawned, there will be a lot of things waiting for her to face, how much confusion has passed through people, she will also cheer up in front of people, and always feel that life has really embarked on a different path from the past, and she can't stop.

In September, Galdan launched a war, the Khalkha tribe was broken by the Dzungar tribe, and the entire tribe moved to the border, and the news came, and the court was furious.

The harem is also panicked, although the war has nothing to do with the women, but the war is won and lost, who knows what the result will be, they have not had enough good life in the Forbidden City, I am really afraid that the smoke and flames of war will poison the eyes, naturally these words are to be killed, not to mention that Galdan is still far away from the Qing court.

The emperor is busy with the government, rarely comes to the harem, and goes to accompany the imperial concubine a few times, that is, in Yikun Palace, outsiders occasionally pass by Yonghe Palace and will hear the movement of children crying and laughing, guessing that it is too noisy there, provoking the emperor to be reluctant to go, no wonder Concubine De can't keep the emperor this time.

In contrast, even if there are many children, Yikun Palace is much quieter, and the young Princess Wen Ke seems to be very much like her name, this child has always been quiet.

It's just that Concubine Yi is very annoyed that every time the emperor comes, whether it is to rest or sit and talk, the people from the Internal Affairs Office always rush to trouble her at this time, and once or twice she can cope with it, and occasionally when she encounters tricky things, the emperor is watching by his side, and she is so nervous that she sweats when she returns.

Today, the emperor is in a good mood, holding the eleventh elder brother to write by hand, and Concubine Yi is grinding ink on the side, which is rare and comfortable and happy Chenguang, but the father and son have not yet written the name of the eleventh elder brother, and the internal affairs office is here again. Concubine Yi didn't hold back for a while, with an impatient look on her face, and when she returned to the Emperor by her side, her face was flushed with embarrassment.

Xuan Ye said gently: "There is a sentence I have wanted to say to you for a long time, I am afraid that you will be unhappy." ”

Concubine Yi glanced at the emperor, lowered her head and muttered: "Does the emperor think that the concubine is very useless?" ”

"It's not that you're useless, it's that I'm afraid you'll work hard." Xuan Ye asked the nurse to take the eleventh elder brother away, Concubine Yi brought water and waited for him to wash his hands, Xuan Ye washed his hands, "I am going to tour the south in the first month of the next year, and I didn't go with you last time I was pregnant with a child, it's a pity, this time I want to take you with me." ”

Concubine Yi was overjoyed, and what surprised her even more was that the emperor continued: "The imperial concubine is not in good health, she was very reluctant last time, she will definitely not drive with her this time, and most of the others can't leave, there are so many children in Yonghe Palace, I feel a headache when I go." ”

Concubine Yi smiled wryly: "Why does the emperor coax his concubines, how much do you love to go to Yonghe Palace." ”

Xuan Ye didn't care, and continued: "You have been in charge of the affairs of the palace for most of the past half a year, and people have become haggard, I still like to come to you from the past and see you happy, but now you are busier than me." ”

"The people in the Internal Affairs Office have no eyes, and they come to annoy the ministers and concubines at these times." Concubine Yi smiled bitterly, but her heart moved, she didn't want to do it for a long time, but she couldn't find the bottom of the stairs, now that the emperor spoke, if she continues to be tough, she won't be able to do well in the future, but it's her fault, it's better to go down the steps, but if it's too active, won't it seem useless?

I don't know if Xuan Ye can see her mind clearly, and said: "The southern tour will take a month or two, if you are in charge of the affairs of the palace, you can't be dedicated when you go out, how boring it is." Whoever does the same thing in the palace is the same, and you have already made a great contribution to raising my brother and princesses. ”

Concubine Yi was very happy to be coaxed, but if she really wanted her to speak, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, Xuan Ye waited patiently, and finally waited for her to say: "I'm afraid that if the concubine doesn't care, the other sisters will have to work hard." ”

The emperor said nonchalantly: "I only come to you from time to time, and it doesn't hurt if you are busy elsewhere, you can be comfortable, and whoever will take over her." ”

"Then the concubine will go back to the imperial concubine tomorrow?" Concubine Yi was a little excited, as if she wanted to get out of the sea of suffering, and said a little shyly, "After that, we should prepare for the memorial of the Empress Dowager, as well as prepare for the emperor's southern tour." ”

Xuan Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "You prepare well, let's leave in the first month." ”

This matter soon had a follow-up, in such a busy situation in the imperial court, Concubine Rong and Lan Qi both felt that the emperor was too dedicated, and Concubine Rong privately blamed Lan Qi: "When you receive the power of assistant, if you don't do well in return, I want to see the emperor, how to settle accounts with you?" Even the words of her southern tour were released, how much face did this give? ”
