"Sanfujin and Jiufujin are cousins, they may not be unaware, you might as well invite Brother Fujin in and ask, this matter is full of atmosphere, everyone must check and introspect themselves, even if it is just for the emperor to see?" Taohong persuaded, "Niangniang, don't come to Concubine Yingrong, it's not good to say, the brothers will inevitably cause trouble outside, what if it's our turn next time." ”

Concubine Yi was duplicitous, and said angrily: "What's wrong with me, don't I just want to come and see her?" ”

But after all, he didn't go to Jingyang Palace again, he was about to go back in a sedan chair, thinking about Concubine De's words, and as soon as he returned to Yikun Palace, he let Wufujin and Jiufujin enter the palace. Wufujin didn't get involved in the mess, and her mother-in-law immediately entered the palace as soon as she summoned her, but Jiufujin deduced that it was not good to go out when she was sick, and Concubine Yi suspected that she was weak-hearted, and poor Wufujin was innocently implicated, and was preached by Concubine Yi, and ordered her to go back to control Jiufujin.

There was a lot of turmoil in the palace, Lan Qi was waiting for the news from Xuan Ye in Yonghe Palace, afraid that he would be choked and dizzy by his sons today, so he asked for news one by one, and heard that the concubine was already waiting, but he was relieved: "It's good to have someone around who knows the warmth and coldness." ”

Huanchun was worried that the master was uncomfortable, and asked her if she wanted to take a look, the concubine Niangniang was not the kind of person who was cautious, and she would not misunderstand what she was deliberately fighting for, but Lan Qi said: "The emperor is unwell, there should always be someone by his side, but this time there are so many elder brothers, and I don't know what to go deeper." The previous life lawsuit has not yet been concluded, and the emperor is too close to me again, lest others say that we have shielded the fourth elder brother, in case there is any accident to frame and wronged him, the gains outweigh the losses. The emperor knows best in his heart, you see that he has lived with me for a long time for a while, the weight of gossip, he has a rod and scale in his heart, he doesn't really care about anything, in the end, it is me who is injured. ”

Huanchun said with peace of mind: "Just don't feel uncomfortable." ”

Lan Qi sighed: "Now is not the time for children to grow up, I don't know what will be involved in this incident, I am very uneasy, I always feel that there is something big." ”

The so-called big thing, just as the eighth elder brother said to Fu Jin, several major forces above the court are playing, and now the third elder brother and he are required to return home for self-examination, so anything in the court will at least have nothing to do with them. But Sanfujin borrowed money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the first and not the last, she was just worried about the amount of silver that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had turnover, and those big moths were going to get up, but digging silver directly from the treasury of the imperial court, it was the amount that was going to shake the country's capital.

On the evening of the day when the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother entered the palace to ask for guilt, Yuqing Palace received a letter from Suo Etu's mansion, asking the prince to clean up the letters and gifts received by the prince with the outside world over the years, especially those priceless calligraphy and paintings, originally the princess could not see the correspondence between them, but Yinren had no idea at the moment, so he called his wife to the study to discuss.

It's easy for him to put these things in, it's hard to destroy or take them out, the daily leftovers of Yuqing Palace are in other people's eyes, and the torn letters have someone who can have the ability to put them together, if they are burned, the brazier has not yet burned outside, and it is strange to burn things inexplicably, so it is strange not to arouse suspicion, and the sky is not cold, the Qianqing Palace has not yet used charcoal, and Yuqing Palace cannot be used, and it is difficult to even hope to burn it in the charcoal stove.

The prince sorted out a thick stack of letters, and chattered: "It would be nice if I had dealt with it casually before, I was always afraid of delaying things, so I kept it to look at it repeatedly, and I accumulated so much every year." He trembled and picked up a letter and said, "This is about the victims of the desert to the capital, I haven't told the emperor Amati until now, but if he knows that I know, I will ......."

He turned around and pointed to the calligraphy and paintings, and said in a panic: "As for it, can't the prince even appreciate the calligraphy and paintings?" ”

The crown princess knew that the lives of the internal affairs office were spreading, and she didn't know which side the offense would be on, and her family had already told her that the prince's grandfather's family had been gathering power recently, as if the emperor was ready to deal with them at any time. But the prince is the prince after all, as long as he can stand on the emperor's side at the critical moment, the status of the East Palace will not be shaken casually, the prince is the foundation of the country, anyway, whoever is the prince will bring about the current situation, if the emperor regrets the establishment of the prince, he will not easily repeat the mistake.

This time, I don't know which faction the emperor will deal with, most of the people in the Internal Affairs Office are the eldest brother and Mingzhu, but Uncle Guo and Suo Etu are involved, and no one in the court is clean. The crown princess looked at her husband intently, her life has long been tied to this person, even if she struggles to the last step, she has to stand by his side, without the prince, she would not exist.

The crown princess pushed the letter in front of her husband and said to him: "You pick the important ones and separate them, and give me the most important ones first, Huang Ama is angry for the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother today, I will personally cook and make soup for him, and burn it in the stove unconsciously, just burn it little by little every day." As for calligraphy and painting, you keep it for the time being, you are the prince, what is wrong with the people below honoring your calligraphy and painting, Huang Ama has come to see it in person a long time ago, and he also recognized you, right? Yinren, don't be afraid, you haven't done very well in the past few months, let's take our time. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the letter into the prince's hand: "Quickly choose some for me, and I will go to make medicine for Huang Amma." ”

Yinren said with a melancholy expression: "Huang Ama probably took this opportunity to resume listening to the government, I don't have to be nervous, the burden on my shoulders should be able to be removed, when will I carry it next time......" He raised his eyes and looked at his wife's beautiful face, "Can I still carry it?" ”

The crown princess said solemnly: "You have done a good job recently, you have been loyal and filial to Huang Ama, and you have won over your brothers, but you are always afraid of losses, and you will be lazy when you are a little tired. Yinren, you are the one who wants to be the emperor, and the future waiting for you will be harder than the present. Huang Ama was angry and scolded the fourth elder brother that day, just because you left Horqin's people alone, he was angry with your laziness, and next time you can't let Huang Ama scold the fourth elder brother again, if you want to scold, you have to come at you. Huang Ama can ignore you, but we can't help but be diligent, you are a son, in front of your own Amma, what are you afraid of embarrassing? ”

The light that dissipated in Yinren's eyes gradually condensed back, just now a letter from his uncle and grandfather made him lose his direction, he calmed down at the moment, shook his wife's hand and said with a resolute expression: "Even if my grandfather's family falls, as long as I am well, Yuqing Palace cannot be replaced to live." ”

The crown princess was very pleased, and urged him to sort out the letter, so she personally rolled up her sleeves and went to cook for the emperor, while unknowingly burning the letter in the stove.

At the same time, the sun was setting, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lan Qi learned that Concubine Liang had gone out, wondering where she was going, and soon sent news that Concubine Liang had gone to Changchun Palace, and stood outside the door for a while.

Lan Qi was holding a bowl of medicine and swallowing it with difficulty, taking the sugar cube from her daughter's hand and putting it in her mouth, because the child was around, she didn't say much, so she only told Huanchun: "Presumably she will come to see me tomorrow or a few days later, and you can welcome her in at any time." ”

In Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui saw the Juechan clan in the dormitory, Concubine Hui was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not see the usual luxury, the matter of the eighth elder brother would not make her as angry as Concubine Rong, but Concubine Rong was simply sad for the child's incompetence, she had to consider the details behind the matter, who knew whose face the emperor slapped down this time, Mingzhu Mansion had already suffered a setback, and if you come again, it will be over. Her son has been embarrassed in front of the emperor for a while, and she has been in suspense for a long time.

After the concubine entered the door, she was dressed gorgeously and etiquettely, and Concubine Hui's palace maid politely moved the stool, but Concubine Hui pointed to the other side of the kang table and said, "Come up and sit, I'm not in good health and have already burned the fire in advance, it's warm here." ”

But the good concubine gave another big salute and said: "The eighth elder brother has caused you to be blamed by the emperor, and the concubines are very afraid. ”

Concubine Hui asked her to get up, looked her up and down, and said unceremoniously: "You have been holding this child for so many years and not asking, why are you putting a shelf of birth and mother in front of me now?" In the end, he was the master of the first house, and the spiritual qi was different, and in two years, the concubine position will be sealed, let's be on an equal footing, should you plan to let the eighth elder brother change his words? It's incredible to think about it, the people in your Yanxi Palace, whether you are Concubine Min or not, are all people who have been picked up. ”

Concubine Liang smiled: "Whether the concubine cares about the eighth elder brother or ignores it, no one knows better than you, as you said, if the concubine can be on an equal footing with you in the future, then she will be able to raise her head even more when she speaks, let me ask the former Jue Chan clan, what qualifications do you have to mention the eighth elder brother in front of you?" But now that the eighth elder brother is so good that the emperor favors him, the concubine's lowly biological mother can enjoy today's glory, which is also the result of the concubine's patience for so many years. ”

Concubine Hui was very conflicted in her heart, in the early years, she was wary of the Jue Chan clan's tricks behind her back to win over the heart of the eighth elder brother, after all, none of them who are mothers can understand how the Jue Chan clan can be ruthless to their relatives, but the Jue Chan clan is the most shrewd person, who knows what she has in mind. Since Concubine Hui decided that she could no longer persuade Jue Chan to be her arm, she learned to stay away from her, and after so many years, now she has come to the door.

The good concubine said straight to the point: "The matter of the loan from the Internal Affairs Office, the concubine has other opinions, and the eldest brother has a relationship with you, I don't know if the mother is willing to listen." ”

But Concubine Hui's mind was so deep, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Concubine Liang's behavior was unreasonable, and looked at her coldly: "Are you for yourself, or for Concubine De?" You have been the closest to each other over the years, and I know that you are her wise man and arm, and if you want to use this to beat my idea, you will die of this heart as soon as possible. ”

The good concubine didn't care, and smiled to herself: "Is Niangniang worried that the emperor will suppress Lord Mingzhu and his subordinates again this time?" In case of this, it will implicate the eldest brother and affect the future of the eldest brother. ”
