After the Lantern Festival night banquet was dispersed, the emperor served the queen mother and returned to the palace, so he took the road to Yonghe Palace, Xuan Ye probably knew at this moment that it was not Lan Qi who was unwell but Wen Chen had an accident, and after entering the door, he hurried to his daughter's house.

"Why did you take your medicine and fall so badly?" Xuan Ye was very distressed, he had always loved his daughter, and even more doted on Wen Xian and Wen Chen's sisters, seeing that his daughter had gauze wrapped around her forehead, he couldn't help but reprimand him urgently, "Where are you going, what are you going to do, why don't you take the palace maid and grandmother with you, what if it breaks?" ”

The little girl pouted, her crystal clear eyes were full of tears, Xuan Ye softened after scolding, hugged her arms and said, "Ama doesn't kill you, but don't make an example." ”

Lan Qi watched with a smile, when Xuan Ye faced his daughters, he really didn't have any imperial atmosphere, he always frowned in the face of his sons, but no matter how naughty the girls were, they always laughed, although there are inevitable reasons for this, but the daughters did fulfill his yearning for family happiness.

"The emperor can rest assured, the imperial doctor said that he was frightened in the snow, and he was afraid that he would catch a cold and fever when he turned back, so he took medicine to warm the body and ward off the cold, and the wound on his forehead also stopped bleeding, so just take care of it in the future and don't leave a scar." Lan Qi said, came up and gently pinched her daughter's cheek, "Every day I say don't have a little pockmarks on my face like Amma, you don't cherish it, there is a scar on your head, how ugly?" ”

Xiao Chen'er muttered a few times, but Xuan Ye smiled and covered her forehead with a big hand, coaxing her daughter: "It's just a scar, just have bangs in the future, how can my daughter be ugly." ”

Lan Qi was tired of their father and daughter, but when her daughter fell asleep and the emperor wanted to rest with her, she showed a worried look, Xuan Ye saw it in her eyes, and asked her when there was no one: "Okay, what is Chen'er doing there?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head and sighed lightly: "She said that she was greedy for fun, so the concubine didn't ask again." Your Majesty, Wen Xian never reassured people, but most of the child's concubines knew about it, but Chen'er was too well-behaved and worry-free, and the concubine hugged her, and she couldn't think of what this child usually thought, so she was so unconsciously negligent. ”

Xuan Ye bowed his head, he had such an experience, it was from the eighth elder brother before. Yinxi's child has been sensible and obedient since he was a child, and Xuan Ye has hardly personally raised other elder brothers except for the eldest brother and the crown prince, but because they always have occasional situations, the emperor still knows how different the temperament of each child is, only the eighth elder brother, one day when he wanted to care about the child, he found that he didn't know anything, and now he slowly began to pay attention, the more he felt that the child was very thoughtful.

"Chen'er is sensible, no matter why she ran there late at night, she knows that she has done something wrong, if the concubine asks again and again, she will be more afraid, let her think about it again and don't say it, naturally the concubine will be more careful, and she can't ignore her just because she is obedient." Lan Qi said helplessly, "A child is a child after all, it should be for the mother's worry, and it is the concubine's negligence." ”

Xuan Ye felt sorry for her: "I didn't expect the princess to be a headache, I always come to coax the child when I'm happy, and I never worry about these things." You have children for me, and the world blames you for your incompetence for not teaching well, but teaching well is what you should do, and it is unfair to you. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Why do you talk about the big truth, it's okay, the children always have something to worry about, the emperor can rest assured, and the concubines will tell you when they understand." She said that she wanted to serve the emperor to wash and sleep, but Xuan Ye said, "Let Huanchun blanch a pot of wine, and we will drink two more glasses." ”

"You drank a lot at the night banquet, but the concubines counted them, and the concubines didn't know how many cups they drank after they left, but now it's not done." Lan Qi didn't agree.

Xuan Ye smiled and said: "I'm happy today, just drink a glass or two, last time you said that Eniang brought you the wine from home, I haven't let me taste it, let them take it." ”

Hearing this, Lan Qi was shocked, the emperor's "E-Niang" was too casual, Shun Anyan followed Wen Xian to call her E-Niang for the first time, she was still nervous and shy, and when she saw her in front of people for a while, she was also shouting Concubine De Niangniang, and the real son-in-law couldn't get used to it, Xuan Ye suddenly said "E-Niang", although her heart was warm, she also felt that it was inappropriate, after all, the emperor couldn't be someone's son-in-law.

Besides, Lan Qi's Ama Eniang, in order to keep her from being talked about behind her back in the palace, how many things did she restrain her family, and the people of Wuya's family were so low-key that they almost didn't exist, and the hardships and grievances in it, Lan Qi was distressed, but her family was willing, they were so attentive, and she really didn't dare to accept Xuan Ye's kindness easily.

As if he hadn't heard, he ordered the small kitchen to send a hot pot, cook the soup with mountain pheasants, and then cut two plates of vegetables and a plate of yuba, the wine was naturally sent by his own family, the wine brewed at home was very turbid, but the entrance was sweet, Lan Qi was occasionally hungry and Lan Ying mentioned a few words, and she passed it to the house, and it was difficult for her elderly mother to make wine for her personally.

As soon as the soup broth was hot, the aroma was overflowing, and the fragrance in the room made people's appetites move, but Xuan Ye didn't care what he ate, he pinched the wine glass and tasted it one by one, Lan Qi persuaded on the side: "If you say yes, drink one or two glasses, if the emperor is a cow drink, it will be gone after a while, and it is easy to get up." ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were red, and he smiled excitedly: "I am really happy to see the frightened expressions on their faces today. But as soon as the conversation changed, he said, "Do you know that these people are all heroes who helped me eradicate Aobai, pacify the three feudatories, recover Taiwan, and sweep away the invasions of Tsarist Russia. ”

Lan Qi silently poured another glass of wine for Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye asked her, "Is it that I, the emperor, have not done a good job?" ”

"You're a hero."

"It's not new, I don't like to hear it."

Lan Qi smiled: "Whatever the emperor likes to hear, the concubines will say." ”

Xuan Ye shook his head, Lan Qi's mother's wine is indeed intoxicating, but he only drank a glass of wine, how could he really be drunk, probably when people don't want to be sober, they will become like this, he suddenly grabbed Lan Qi's hand, squinted at her, and asked thoughtlessly: "Why don't you change?" Twenty-six years......"

"Because you like Wu Ya Lanqi's appearance, she wants to please you for the rest of her life, of course, she can't change." Lan Qi held Xuan Ye's hand in the palm of her hand with both hands, on the night of the Lantern Festival twenty-six years ago, they folded their hands and held the pen to write, to be honest, she didn't really remember the meaning of the Lantern Festival, but every time she mentioned it, her heart was soft, and she said gently at the moment, "They don't want to please you, so they naturally change their appearance, since they are such a person, what is the emperor's pity?" The concubine feels sorry for you, you still have the feeling of regretting the old minister, as if you want to save something, but they can't wait to change the sky, the more this is the case, the more you have to live a chic life, and the person who should be sad and sad is not you. ”

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "Do you know how difficult it is to cultivate a minister? ”

Lan Qi said: "The concubines don't understand, but the concubines think that the court has never relied on one of them alone, and those mung bean sesame officials who guard a piece of land for you are also heroes of the Qing Dynasty." The emperor is relieved, do what you want, it's good not to mention this matter, let's talk about it again, the concubines will trespass, don't let the concubines be embarrassed. ”

Xuan Ye was in a much better mood, and he really didn't want to embarrass Lan Qi anymore, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are not a man." ”

Lan Qi asked why, and people got tired of coming up and saying, "If it's a man, I like you so much but can't get close to you for the rest of my life, but it's amazing." Lan Qi pushed his head back, blushing and said, "A few words are not serious, don't use your brain, it won't be tonight." ”

But whether those things can be done or not is not something that Lan Qi can say, but she is worried about her daughter, and she has no time to remember the night early the next morning, and after she drove Xuan Ye away, she immediately came to take care of her.

The princess's wounds recovered well, and she did not have a cold or fever, but her menarche was naturally soft and weak, and she was asked by her mother to rest in the house and was not allowed to go anywhere. However, Wen Chen was completely awake after sleeping all night, and she was always afraid that E-Niang would ask her why, but her mother didn't mention it back and forth several times, as if she wanted to go shopping last night.

But how could Lanqi believe it, she was afraid that excessive questioning would scare the child, and she couldn't feel at ease all the time, so she secretly sent Huanchun there to inquire what was going on, but Huanchun returned in vain, no one knew what the princess was going to do, that is, the nurse who followed her all day long, and she didn't know what the princess was hiding in her heart, this child was too well-behaved and considerate, and was completely ignored.

Because Princess Wenchen was favored by the emperor, some concubines came to visit one after another after hearing some news in order to show their goodwill, and Lan Qi was tired of coping with it for two or three days, and kept pressing this matter without mentioning it, until she returned from Ningshou Palace that day, and suddenly had a whim in the middle of the road, and only took a few people with Huanchun Luzhu to the imperial garden.

was led to the big tree where the daughter fainted, looked around and looked around, and saw nothing strange and new, and the master and servant were about to leave, but they saw a team of guards with neat steps coming in the distance.

Huan Chun immediately stepped forward and said that Concubine De Niangniang was here to let them avoid, and the guards stood on the side of the road after saluting, and Lan Qi slowly walked past them with the green beads, and a strange thought passed through her heart, and she stopped and asked, "You pass by here every day?" ”

The head of the guard bowed and replied, saying that there was nothing special, that they would pass by here on time every day, and that although there would be several different shifts of people a day, they must not miss the hour of the inspection.

Lan Qi said casually: "Then if someone calculates the time and waits for you and deliberately staggers the time, isn't it for you to patrol in vain?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "If you go back to Niangniang, there are several other teams of people who are walking around the palace at any time without time and place. ”
