Concubine Yi said such things, but she didn't know that Baoyun was following behind Concubine Hui, which made Concubine Hui very embarrassed, so she only said coldly: "Sister take care of yourself, I'm going to take care of the eldest brother these days, I can't come to see you, what's the matter for Taohong to come to me." He didn't say a word about Concubine Wen, and left with a straight face.

Peach sent the guest back and said: "The master just said those words, the slave maid saw that Concubine Hui should be taking care of Baoyun by her side, so she didn't pay attention to you, Concubine Hui always has to take care of some Baoyun." ”

Concubine Yi really didn't expect this, but she didn't care, she just asked the nurse to bring Brother Jiu to show her, and said happily: "You're full of everything, I don't care what they do so much." But he couldn't help but sigh when he said it, "I don't know what Yinqi looked like when he was a child, and I haven't hugged it for a day. ”

Taohong said: "Naturally, I will understand, don't the master know, the fourth elder brother, he already knows that his biological mother is Concubine De Niangniang." ”

Concubine Yi really didn't mention this matter here, and asked Taohong carefully, Taohong had only heard about it in the past two days, and the details were not clear, there were all kinds of legends in the palace, but looking at Chengqian Palace, it didn't seem that anything had happened, but I hadn't seen anyone for a few days, and they all said that the fourth elder brother hadn't gone out for a long time.

"All in all, my blessing is no weaker than that of Wu Ya's." Concubine Yi laughed, "Originally, she had two sons, and she was more proud than anyone else, but now I also have two sons, no matter what, Yinqi is still mine, does she dare to ask for the fourth elder brother?" ”

Peach is silent, this pride is not too much, and let Concubine Yi be happy for a while.

A few days later, the emperor came to Yikun Palace to visit Concubine Yi's mother and son, in the end it was his own son, Xuan Ye had no reason not to be happy, Brother Jiu gave the name Yinyu, and rewarded Concubine Yi with countless jewelry, quite a favorite concubine. The six palaces all envy her good fortune, and then wait to see what Yonghe Palace creates, Concubine De's birth is also very stable, if she gets a man again, she will give birth to three sons in a row, and she will really be in the limelight.

In contrast, Xianfu Palace is always neglected, the emperor was busy lecturing a few days ago, and in recent days he always went to see Concubine Yi, and occasionally ran to accompany Concubine De for a day, Concubine Wen Guifei was in this palace, somehow became a dispensable person, and no concubine would take the initiative to come to see her on weekdays, and the days were spent at home every day watching Dongyun and their faces.

Juezen nobles occasionally came to accompany her, Wen Guifei always said something to complain, and on this day, she took the initiative to find Juechan with her stomach up, and asked her painfully: "Did the emperor forget me?" You told me not to toss, I listened, but if I didn't toss, he couldn't remember me at all, what the hell did he have to do to make him like me. ”

Juechan knew that Concubine Wen knew everything in her heart, but she didn't give up, others could only accompany and toss, and patiently persuaded: "If Niangniang survives this period, the emperor will know your character, if you are in a hurry to do something ridiculous, what will the emperor think in his heart?" Look at Concubine Yi, she hasn't seen much in the past few months, the important thing is to have a good baby. ”

Concubine Wen just cried: "I want him to come to see me more often than a child, if you have a child without him, what's the point of having a child?" ”

But under the appeasement of Juechan and Dongyun, Concubine Wen gritted her teeth and endured no matter how painful she was, not daring to do anything eye-catching, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand her favor, but fortunately, the emperor did not really ignore him, and occasionally one or two concerns and condolences were enough to support her to persist until the day of delivery.

In the blink of an eye, in September, the Double Ninth Festival respects the elderly, the palace is lively, the elder brother and princesses are kowtowing to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace to celebrate the festival, and the fourth elder brother who has not shown up for a long time is also here today, just blindly following the imperial concubine, and the brothers and sisters who are usually affectionate are not as lively as in the past, and even slightly repulsed.

The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes, called him over, and asked some words lovingly, but did not mention those things, and the fourth elder brother gradually became cheerful, and a few sisters came to pull him to play, and the children left together.

But because the other concubines were also there, the Empress Dowager couldn't say anything to the imperial concubine, so she wanted to wait for a while before the people dispersed and then leave her to ask a few words. Not long after, Huanchun and the nurse led the sixth elder brother to kowtow, saying that Concubine De felt lazy and didn't want to move when she got up today, so she couldn't come in person, and the Queen Mother wouldn't care, and the Queen Mother said that Concubine De was about to give birth, so she shouldn't go around, and the elders rewarded Yinzuo with something, so he asked him to find his brothers and sisters to play.

Today, many princes outside the palace also came to ask for peace, Su Mala Mama prepared exquisite refreshments, everyone sat and gossip, this was very harmonious, and the palace just got the little prince, Concubine De and Concubine Wen were waiting to give birth, a good thing was connected, and everyone's face was beaming. When he was talking happily, he faintly heard the child's cry, and the children would inevitably frolic when they got together, so it would be good to send a few grandmothers to take a look, but when he saw the fourth elder brother suddenly running back, he ran straight to the imperial concubine, took his mother's hand and said, "Eniang, let's go back." ”

The fourth elder brother's face was clean, and the person who was crying was not him, but he didn't care about pestering the imperial concubine to leave, and the imperial concubine had no choice but to say goodbye to the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and hurriedly took his son back.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward, and everyone could see that the Empress Dowager was unhappy, so they looked at each other, and they all left one after another not long after.

Looking at the scene in front of the door that suddenly became empty, and the refreshments on everyone's seats hadn't moved much, the Empress Dowager snorted sadly: "It's better to be clear and quiet." ”

The queen mother comforted on the side: "They are also not very happy to see you, they are afraid that they will make you angry here, the emperor will dissipate her anger, and the concubines will ask the children what is going on." ”

Before the words fell, the cry gradually got closer, and I saw that the sixth elder brother was led in by Su Mala's grandmother, and the little guy ran and threw himself into the arms of the great grandmother, and Su Mala slowly followed and said: "The slave asked the princesses what was going on, and said that they had a good time, and after the sixth elder brother came, he kept chasing the fourth elder brother to talk, but the fourth elder brother always avoided him, and finally pushed it away, and the sixth elder brother fell to the ground and cried." There is nothing to be unhappy about, the children do not fight or grab, the sixth elder brother just wants to stick to the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother does not want to ignore it. ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "If Lan Qi knows, she will die of distress, okay, what's the matter, could it be instigated by the imperial concubine?" ”

The Empress Dowager signaled the Empress Dowager not to speak, patted Yinzuo in her arms and coaxed, the little guy was wronged, and cried for a long time and said to her grandmother: "The fourth brother doesn't like me now, and the fourth brother doesn't play with Yinzuo anymore." ”

"Who doesn't like Yinzuo, Yinzuo is so well-behaved, Yinzuo listened to the great-grandmother say, you are a boy, boys can't cry at every turn......" The old grandmother comforted kindly, not mentioning who was right and who was wrong, little by little to take the topic away, divert the child's attention, and ordered the princess and brothers to be brought again, and they all stayed with her for dinner today, but there was no need to invite the fourth elder brother to come.

When Yinzuo went to play with her brothers and sisters happily, the Queen Mother showed a somewhat depressed face, and the Queen Mother asked softly: "Do you want to find the imperial concubine alone?" ”

"We said that she may not be convinced, let the emperor ask." The Empress Dowager sighed, and then instructed Su Mala, "Later, you personally send Yinzuo back to Yonghe Palace, and say a few words to Lan Qi, don't make her feel uncomfortable, now the most uncomfortable is Yinzhen, and if the adults follow the blind coaxing, things will be even more troublesome." ”

Waiting for the night Su Mala Mama to send the sixth elder brother back, Lan Qi has heard some things about Cining Palace, seeing that Mama came to explain to her in person, she also asked Mama to return to the Queen Mother, saying that she didn't care, after all, this matter is nothing in the eyes of adults, but no one knows what the child thinks, now Yinzhen is the injured one, she will patiently wait for the child to untie the knot.

In the Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping fourth elder brother, after the mother and son came back, she didn't ask her son what happened in Cining Palace, but Qinglian inquired about it and came back to tell her, she originally guessed that it should be Yinzhen and Yinzuo who had a conflict.

"Niangniang, you can also rest, the slaves and maids will take care of the fourth elder brother." Qinglian came to persuade the master who was in a daze, and the imperial concubine shook her head slightly, thought about it and asked, "Where is the emperor?" ”

"In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor didn't turn over the cards tonight." Qinglian replied, paused and said, "The slave and maid shouldn't talk too much, but it's not good for the fourth elder brother to be like this, obviously you didn't say anything, but everyone outside should be taught by you." ”

"That's no way, they pointed at me and made irresponsible remarks, it's better than saying that the fourth elder brother is not good." The imperial concubine sighed, got up and helped Qinglian to walk back, "I have said everything that should be said, I don't know where this child's heart is, I said eight hundred times that I will never send him away, but he still looks like he is always on guard that he will be sent away by me, what should I say?" ”

In fact, Qinglian had an idea in her heart, but she didn't dare to mention it, after serving her master to wash and change clothes, she heard her sighing, and she was moved for a while, so she dared to say: "Have you ever thought about it, let Concubine De Niangniang talk to the fourth elder brother?" ”

Imperial Concubine Huo Ran looked at her, her eyes widened, Qinglian was startled, hung her head and said, "The slave should die, but Niangniang, we have no other way right now, right?" ”

The imperial concubine is very unwilling, but she knows that it will not be good for the child or her in the long run, if Yinzhen changes her temperament, just like this, she must not have any future, and then she and the emperor will also disagree with each other, in case of interference, or even take away the fourth elder brother, who else can make the decision for her.

"The slave said something that shouldn't be said, if you are willing to deal with this matter with Concubine De, the emperor will also be happy." Qinglian persuaded again and again, "You put down some shelves, Concubine De must be grateful to you." ”

"Alright." The imperial concubine interrupted Qinglian's rambling angrily, Qinglian thought it was no show, but who knew that the master told her, "In a few days, you go to invite Concubine De, saying that we met by chance in the imperial garden, especially if she comes or I go, Yinzhen will be wary, just meet in the imperial garden, I will lead Yinzhen to play, let her watch us go, and come over." ”
