"I naturally believe my sister, but now that the children are growing up, these things will always be clear, although the empress dowager does not have to hide it, but after all, it is the last thing the imperial concubine wants to mention, so she should be the first to speak." Lan Qi patiently said what she and Huanchun thought, "I think we should ask Yinzhi first if he said it, and where did he hear it, and then it would be best if there is no movement from the fourth elder brother, in case there is trouble, we also have a preparation in our hearts." ”

Concubine Rong frowned, and called Ji Xin to bring the third elder brother here, it seemed that she couldn't understand her son anymore, and felt that the nurse must not have heard about it, but she had never mentioned this matter in Jingyang Palace, and she really didn't know where her son knew.

The child came not long after, and when he came, he was going to play with Yinzuo, Concubine Rong reprimanded him angrily: "Wait for the study, see how you still play, the masters don't put away your bones honestly." ”

The third elder brother saw that his mother was inexplicably angry, so aggrieved, snuggled up to Lan Qi and didn't dare to get close to Eniang, Lan Qi coaxed and asked a few words, and tactfully mentioned what he said in Chengqian Palace yesterday, the third elder brother answered one by one according to her words, and asked which the fourth elder brother's biological mother was, Yinzhi said with certainty: "The eldest brother said, the fourth brother was born to De Niangniang, and the fourth brother and the sixth brother are compatriots of the same mother, which is different from our brothers." ”

Concubine Rong opened her mouth wide on the side, and only after a while did she ask: "Did the eldest brother say it?" ”

"That day, Erchen went to the study to study, and the eldest brother said that he would have a companion when I went, and the fourth brother would come again in the future, they must be relatively close, and the eldest brother said that because they were all born to Concubine De." Yinzhi replied seriously, it can be seen that his mother's face is getting more and more ugly, he can't help but stick closer to Lan Qi, and heard Concubine De Niangniang ask him softly, "Did Yinzhi tell Yinzhen these words yesterday?" ”

Yinzhi nodded, only to hear Concubine Rong sigh, Lan Qi's heart also pounded, and then asked the child: "What did Yinzhen tell you?" ”

"Yinzhen doesn't seem to understand much, stupid, and then we will disperse after playing." Yinzhi doesn't know what he said wrong, but fortunately, he is smart, and he can still remember yesterday's events clearly.

Concubine Rong asked anxiously: "Yinzhi, what did you tell Yinzhen?" Then do you understand why Yinzhen was born to De Niangniang, but she has been living in Chengqian Palace, calling the imperial concubine Niangniang? ”

Yinzhi nodded timidly, not daring to look at his mother, but looked at Lan Qi and said, "The eldest brother said that just like his mother raised the eighth brother, the fourth brother was given to the imperial concubine to raise it." ”

Lan Qi's face changed, and she asked in a daze, "You also said this to Yinzhen?" ”

Yinzhi looked at Lan Qi and was also a little scared, pursed his lips and said tremblingly: "I said that he was raised by the imperial concubine." ”

"You ......" Concubine Rong raised her hand and was about to fight, but was stopped by Lan Qi, Yinzhi was frightened, and cried in Lan Qi's arms, he was born timid, and he was most afraid of Eniang's temper, so he couldn't coax it now, and he hooked Yinzuo too, and finally the two little brothers left together, and this side was considered clean.

Concubine Rong said hatefully: "How could Concubine Hui teach such a son? Sure enough, the eldest brother has horns on his head, and I heard that he was disrespectful to the prince, and insisted that the prince respect his brother, a bastard. ”

Lan Qi knew that Concubine Rong was in a hurry, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a serious thing, if the imperial concubine was to investigate this matter and make a fuss, she would inevitably lose face. No matter how many other people have had their ups and downs over the years, Concubine Rong is still stable, and now if she loses face on this, Qu will also die.

"The fourth elder brother is so smart, he won't not understand Yinzhi's words, just see when he mentions it to the imperial concubine, I'll wait to make amends." Concubine Rong's eyes gradually turned red, full of resentment, no matter how noble the imperial concubine is than her, after all, she is younger than her, and her qualifications are shallower than her, thinking that she will be scolded by the imperial concubine pointing her nose in the future, which one can be willing.

Lan Qi felt that she was not interfering in this matter, but she was not interfering, tracing back to the source, if she didn't think about sending the fourth elder brother to Chengqian Palace, where would there be anything now, at least Concubine Rong was wronged, and she should help; But if she really interferes, she will regard herself as her biological mother, don't say that the imperial concubine is going to make a big fuss, and irrelevant people will also speculate on her thoughts, and she doesn't know what to say later.

Concubine Rong also thought a lot, and in turn persuaded Lan Qi: "Even if the imperial concubine is really angry, it is just a few words, you can't do anything to me, don't get involved, she hates you again." Compared to those of us, she must be more wary of you in her heart, and she is unforgiving when she is born that day. ”

Lan Qi thought about it quietly, and had an idea and said: "Don't blame me for relying on someone to support me, I'll go and talk to the Empress Dowager about this matter first, the imperial concubine really wants to make trouble, let the Empress Dowager come forward." ”

Concubine Rong felt that it was inappropriate, and waved her hand again and again: "Then she doesn't want to blame you?" Let's make a big thing small. ”

Lan Qi said calmly: "The Empress Dowager will definitely be able to solve it properly, if there is any joke left for this matter, it is the child's words that will be talked about for a lifetime, then it is really boring." Don't say that I have to interfere, even if the imperial concubine herself is the princess, she will regret it in the future. ”

After the sisters discussed it again and again, they asked Ji Xin to inquire about the movements in the Chengqian Palace, and the people came back half an hour later, saying that nothing happened in the Chengqian Palace, at most, the fourth elder brother got up this morning and had no appetite, and he was not willing to eat. The two guessed that Yinzhen should not have mentioned it to the imperial concubine, so Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and went to Chengqian Palace alone, while Lan Qi went to Cining Palace.

When the imperial concubine saw Concubine Rong coming, she thought she was going to talk about the things in the palace, so she sent away with boredom: "Fourth elder brother is not very comfortable today, I don't have the heart to listen to you talk about those things, you have always been all-encompassing, you can do anything great, you can make the decision." ”

Concubine Rong sank her heart and knelt down in front of the imperial concubine, which made her ask strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

When the imperial concubine was stunned to listen to Concubine Rong finish telling Yinzhi about Yinzhen's biological mother and adoptive mother, she was so angry that she couldn't say a word, Concubine Rong waited for her to fall in fear, but when she waited, she heard a low sob, she raised her eyes slightly, and sure enough, it was the imperial concubine who was crying.

"Niangniang......" Concubine Rong didn't know what to say for a while, and repeatedly said that she would go back and teach the third elder brother a good lesson, but before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine got up and walked away, that lost her soul, Concubine Rong looked at her, and she didn't know what moment she was going to fall.

The imperial concubine slowly walked to Yinzhen's house, the fourth elder brother was lying on the table writing decently, the little guy was not strong enough at the moment, and the words written were not decent, but the last time the emperor came to see, he praised him for being stronger than his brothers when he was a child, and the father and son wrote together, Yinzhen also naughtily complained, saying that Eniang's words were ugly, but the emperor said to his son: "Your Eniang's handwriting is excellent." ”

Thinking back to those words at this moment, the imperial concubine smiled bitterly in her heart, at that time, Xuan Ye's sentence "You Eniang" did she refer to her, or to Wu Ya Lanqi? I haven't written much in front of the emperor, they have never said anything about it, and the woman who writes at home at every turn is not Wu Ya Lanqi?

"E-niang." When Yinzhen saw her mother coming, she put down her pen and climbed down from the chair, and said very obediently, "E-Niang, I just ate a bowl of porridge, because I want to eat when I'm hungry, E-Niang, I will eat obediently in the future, and I won't be greedy for snacks." ”

The imperial concubine lowered her head and looked at her son, he was struggling to look up at himself, opening his hands as if he wanted to hug, the imperial concubine was disgusted: "E-niang can't move you now, Yinzhen has grown up." ”

The child immediately showed a gloomy and disappointed look, and the raised hand was slowly put down, but suddenly hugged his mother violently, and the imperial concubine's body couldn't help shaking, so she heard her son say: "Yinzhen has grown up, Yinzhen will come to hug Eniang, and Yinzhen will hug Eniang in the future." ”

She burst into tears when she said this, Yinzhen raised her head again, saw her mother crying, and was frightened and didn't know what to do, only waiting for the imperial concubine to squat down and look at her level, he choked up and said: "E-niang, don't cry, the little sister is gone, and the retainers will accompany E-niang." ”

For children, it is common to see a mother crying recently, sad for the loss of her little sister, and he doesn't understand the sadness of death, but when the imperial concubine cries in those days, as long as he is in front of him, he will cry together.

"Yinzhen, Eniang asked you, what did the third elder brother say to you yesterday, do you remember?" The imperial concubine smiled with tears in her eyes, she understood that this was an unavoidable thing, but she was unwilling, she was reluctant, Yinzhen was hers, whether he was born to Wu Yalanqi or something else, it was all hers.

The little child who was already with tears in his eyes was stunned, his red lips were pursed, and he gradually lowered his head, and the tears of beans fell from his eyes.

The imperial concubine cupped her son's cheeks with both hands and asked again: "Tell Eniang, what did the third elder brother say to you?" ”

Yin Zhen finally cried, took a few steps back, shook his head and said, "The third brother is lying, I don't believe it." Eniang, is the third brother a liar? ”

The imperial concubine closed her eyes in despair, opened them again after a long time, and said word by word in heartache: "He didn't lie to you, Yinzhen is different from the little sister, you were not born with a ten-month belly, it was Concubine De Niangniang who gave birth to you, and like Yinzuo, Concubine De Niangniang is your mother." ”

"No, no, no." Yinzhen rushed over and hugged her mother, crying so hard that she couldn't speak, and tried hard to say inarticulately, "Yinzhen don't leave Eniang, Eniang don't send me away." ”

"Fool, you're not going anywhere." The imperial concubine couldn't tell whether she was sad about this, or moved by her son's affection for herself, and couldn't stop her tears and said, "Although E-Niang didn't give birth to you, she can raise you since you were a milk doll, E-Niang will take care of Yinzhen for the rest of her life, watch you grow up, and watch you become as heroic as your father." At that time, Yinzhen will really be able to hug Eniang, but yes, at that time, you must be annoyed by the old woman Eniang, and you want to hug your daughter-in-law, right? ”

Yin Zhen sobbed: "The son doesn't want a daughter-in-law, he wants a mother." ”

Tong Yan was innocent and simple, the imperial concubine burst into tears and laughed, but laughed and laughed and cried with the child very sadly, and it took a long time to see calm, so he asked his son: "Does Yinzhen understand what the third elder brother and Eniang said?" When you look back, your grandmother, your grandmother, and your grandmother will come and ask you, and if they ask you, what do you say? ”
