Lan Qi didn't turn to look, because she didn't know if Na Long Keduo was looking at this side, she had to hold her dignity, so that Long Kedo didn't mistake him for how well he was treated.

And Yinxiang said that Long Keduo was cunning, Lan Qi also had the impression that when Xuan Ye assigned Long Keduo to Yinzhen as an errand earlier, the child was reluctant, Xuan Ye said that he would only deal with good people, but now he can use Long Keduo easily, maybe from Long Keduo's way of dealing with people, he can see some ways to survive in the court, and it can be regarded as Yinzhen's growth.

"No matter what, Long Keduo is a relative of the noble concubine." Lan Qi commanded, "If outsiders chew their tongues, you just listen, don't say it from our people's mouths." After the concubine Niangniang has an age, she is more afraid of loneliness than before, and always sighs that she has no one to rely on when she is old, and she walks around more with her family than before. ”

Huanchun agreed, and the master and servant walked towards Ruijingxuan, passing by the place where Concubine Liang lived in front of her, Lan Qi stopped and watched for a while, until she was persuaded by Huanchun, and then walked back again, and couldn't help but say: "She is there or not, I feel that it is no different, although I am sad in my heart, I think that she is relieved, and I am happy for her." ”

Back in Ruijingxuan, before the big coat on his body was taken off, Huanchun heard the news that the father and son of the Nian family had entered the garden, and before Nian Qianyao came to Changchun Garden, he went to the Old Summer Palace and stayed for a short time, but he went to see the fourth master before Wan Sui, and he always felt that it was inappropriate. Lan Qi frowned when she heard this, and instructed Huanchun: "Send someone to Yinzhen to pass a message, let him come and explain to the emperor today, don't let the emperor misunderstand that his son doesn't take Lao Tzu in his eyes now, if you don't explain things clearly, small things will become big things after a long time." ”

After that day, Yinzhen really asked to see his father, and after talking in Qingxi Bookstore, he brought the little eunuchs to Ruijingxuan, and the little eunuchs carefully moved the game of chess there completely, saying that Ama didn't want Eniang to work hard again, and he came over by himself before the sun set.

But even with an umbrella, the wind and snow blew the snowflakes and fell on the expectations, and when the snow melted in the house, the chess pieces were wet, Lan Qi took a dry cloth and carefully wiped each chess piece, and the son sat on the side, and when he saw his mother changing the chess pieces, he couldn't help laughing: "Did E-Niang put it wrong, or did it happen on purpose?" ”

Lan Qi glared at him: "Just your sharp eyes? Reluctantly, he changed the black and white son back to his original position, which made Yinzhen laugh: "Eniang is really, even if you change one, Huang Ama can see it, you still plan to deceive Huang Amma?" ”

"Didn't I put it back? Talkative. Lan Qi smiled and looked at her son carefully, she didn't mention Nian Qianyao's matter, thinking that their father and son could always make it clear, just ask Xuan Ye at night, I don't want Yinzhen to take the initiative to speak, "My son and Nian Qianyao didn't say a few words, Rong Fang came, Yinxiang and I let their brother and sister talk, and simply walked away." ”

"It should." Lan Qi responded casually and continued to wipe the chess pieces, while her son said: "Their brother and sister seem to be unhappy, Rongfang's temper you know, everything is on your face, and you cry a lot when you go back, I don't know why." E-niang, look, do you want your son to accompany her back to the New Year's Mansion? ”

Lan Qi asked: "Do you really feel sorry for her, or is it to give face to the young father and son?" ”

Yin Zhen was stunned and didn't reply for a while.

Lan Qi smiled: "It seems that it's not just to give face to the Nian family? She sighed softly and instructed her son, "This kind of careful thinking, don't reveal it in front of Yuxi, she thinks that your feelings for Rongfang are probably different from your heart, so don't let her see through it, it's good to keep a little thought in your heart." ”

"Yes, don't worry, I won't make Yuxi sad. But Rongfang's mind is too simple, her son is with her, there is no state affairs and no family affairs, and she will not be jealous of others, that ease. Yinzhen said, "Yuxi is naturally irreplaceable, but Rongfang makes her son feel very comfortable, even if she is too lively and troublesome occasionally, she also feels cute." ”

Lan Qi unconsciously changed the position of the chess pieces again, and there was no silver three hundred taels to cover it here, Yin Zhen had to pretend not to see it, and continued: "I naturally understand that it is Yuxi that is good for the family." ”

"If only you understood." Lan Qi had already changed all the chess pieces to be mobilized, and for a moment she was proud, put down the dry cloth that wiped the chess, and drank the tea, but her son couldn't help it, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the chessboard and said: "Eniang, I'm afraid that the little eunuch who was holding the chessboard just now can also see that it is different, Eniang, you are so polite." ”

Lan Qi was not happy, stared at the chessboard for a long time, but said for a while: "But I don't remember what it looked like." ”

In this game of chess, when Xuan Ye came to play at night, he had already been replaced by Lan Qi, Xuan Ye didn't seem to see it, and continued the daytime chess game with great interest, and finally won against Lan Qi, Lan Qi put away the chess pieces silently, Xuan Ye smiled and asked: "I won you, are you unhappy?" ”

"Nope." Lan Qi obviously pulled her face and asked unconvinced, "Don't you see that it's different from the morning?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "I saw it, I wanted to let you, but the result was ......" he spread his hands and smiled, "I have been playing against the minister recently, and the odds of winning are very few, but then I figured it out, when you are strong, you are strong, and when you are weak, you are weak, I coax you to play every day, and your chess skills have plummeted." ”

"No wonder I've been coaxing me to play chess lately, but I lost to the minister, so it's up to me." Lan Qi's words were very polite, but she only exchanged Xuan Ye's presumptuousness, and said angrily that the grandchildren were going to learn, and whether they would respect the elders and the young in the future, after all, Lan Qi couldn't help her, and finally coaxed her to let many sons and fool her around.

Luozi, talking about the children, mentioning Nian Qianyao, Xuan Ye said: "You haven't seen him yet." When you return to the palace for a banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, you take a look at it, and it has been released for several years, as if it has experienced decades of vicissitudes, strong and rough. Do you know that the bandits in Sichuan have all been taken down by Nian Qianyao, and I also sent a commendation last month. Thinking about the decades since entering the customs, the children of the Aixin Jueluo family are not as good as before. We are full of hundreds of thousands, and in the event of a war, we still have to rely on Han people and Han generals. ”

Lan Qi threw away the chess pieces and said disappointedly: "Playing chess well also involves state affairs?" How old are you, can you take a break? ”

Xuan Ye put back the chess pieces he threw and muttered, "The older you get, the more ignorant you become, why are you so petty now?" ”

Lan Qi rubbed the silk handkerchief in his hand and said, "Pretend that you are still young, if you want to bother me, I will hold it later." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "I say one sentence, you have to top ten sentences, I really don't know how you teach your daughter-in-law, they listen to you and obey you?" ”

"Your Majesty." Lan Qi suddenly became interested, compared Yuxi with Rong Fang, and asked Xuan Ye what he thought of his son's attitude, Xuan Ye held his face and thought for a long time before he said: "Decades ago, I could still think about it, but now that I think about it, I can only think of you, I don't know what Yinzhen thinks in his heart." ”

Lan Qi was stunned, but Xuan Ye stuffed the chess pieces into her hand, and said to her in turn: "Good to play chess, how old are you, and you still worry about their affairs, can you take a break?" ”

"Let's do this, don't we call the old companion?" Lan Qi smiled slowly, brushed the loose hair behind her ears, her slender white fingers crossed her cheeks, her eyes were tactful, there was still a bit of charm, she looked at Xuan Ye gently, Xuan Ye also squinted her eyes slightly, and smiled, "I am very satisfied." ”

The years are quiet, Chinese New Year's Eve is over, it is the new year, the fifty-first year of Kangxi has arrived peacefully and peacefully, the emperor's body is tougher than the previous two years, spring is entering summer, and everything is going well. But who would have thought that after the autumn, there was a turmoil, the emperor suddenly came to the interest to suppress corruption again, many officials were implicated, and after more than half a year, the court suddenly made a noise again, and everyone was in danger.

And this year, Lan Qi returned to the Forbidden City with the emperor after the autumn, after fifty, the days passed faster and faster, year after year, she lived in the garden for a long time, and Concubine Rong was rare, Concubine Yi's mind was lively, and the emperor often pestered her to take her to Changchun Garden, so she had seen it a few times, and Concubine Rong often only saw once in half a year.

Every time she saw white hair added to her sideburns, Lan Qi sighed that they were old, and even Concubine Rong would say: "I thought you wouldn't be old, but now you look at it, you're also an old grandmother." ”

And after Lan Qi returned this time, she didn't plan to accompany the emperor to the garden, the important thing is that the queen mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, and she used to love to go out for a walk, but now she is getting lazier and lazier, claiming to be an old bone, and from time to time she will be sad about the past years, Concubine Rong said to Lan Qi in private: "The queen mother has cried a few times, all of them miss Wen Xian, and said that she left earlier, so she could go to her granddaughter, don't let her be alone underneath." ”

Lan Qi was sad to hear this, but now her daughter and son-in-law are doing well in Chengde, and they will bring her letters every month, and the situation in the capital is changing every day, and she doesn't want her daughter and son-in-law to come back and get involved in trouble again. After discussing with Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye also said: "I'm just afraid of complications, just wait." ”

In October, the anti-corruption investigation to the Internal Affairs Office, the deficit of silver is jaw-dropping, in recent years, Lan Qi has been driving in Changchun Garden, the palace is not much in charge, someone took advantage of the loophole, Lan Qi wanted to blame herself, but Concubine Rong has been in the palace, if she blames herself, isn't it equivalent to blaming Concubine Rong, the emperor does not ask, she has not mentioned it.

But on this day, she was sitting idle in Jingyang Palace, but Concubine Yi came in a hurry, and she was full of anger because she was old, so she asked the servants below to bring a basket of charcoal, kicked it and said: "What's the matter, my house is smoked out of breath, can't the palace open the pot?" How can you use this kind of thing for me, the emperor is greedy and greedy, and the days in the palace are over? ”

Concubine Rong said coldly: "Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused, your old nine is carrying a lawsuit, and you are still here to make trouble?" Now the palace uses these charcoals, not to treat you badly, but this year's color is not good, you go to my house to take a look? ”

Concubine Yi didn't believe it, and pointed at Lan Qi: "What about you?" ”
