"My sister wants to raise the eighth elder brother?" Concubine Yi frowned slightly, probably because she found it difficult, and said softly, "Even if Concubine Wen doesn't like it, she may not be willing to let go, she is always a son under her knees, and now or in the future, it is her kindness and credit." ”

"That's true, so you can't rob her, you can only wait for her to get disgusted and take the initiative to send it out." Concubine Hui smiled affectionately at Concubine Yi, "Once Concubine Wen doesn't want the eighth elder brother, the imperial concubine looks down on the eighth elder brother, and among the four concubines, Concubine Rong and Concubine De are too busy to take care of themselves, as long as the younger sister doesn't speak, this child will naturally come to Changchun Palace." ”

Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Sister is not worried about me? I'm not uncommon with the son of the Zen family, I still hope that my sister will help me let the emperor come to Yikun Palace more, and I look forward to having another son to raise. ”

Concubine Hui smiled bitterly: "Yes, my sister still has hope when she is young, and I have no hope." The seventh elder brother is congenitally insufficient, and I want to raise it for fear that others will point me at me and say that I am blind and diligent, and it is best for the eighth elder brother. ”

"But this is easy to say, it will be difficult for Concubine Wen to send the child out by herself, after all, the Juechan clan is in Xianfu Palace, if she is troublesome and doesn't want to bother, just throw it to the Juechan clan." Concubine Yi always felt that it was not right, and thought, "Unless there is something that makes her very disgusted or taboo......"

As he spoke, he looked up at Concubine Hui, and saw that she was smiling confidently and proudly, and said to Concubine Yi: "Naturally, it has to be a big thing to succeed, otherwise how can Concubine Wen be willing to let go, and when the time comes, my sister will help me say a few words, and those two who don't want it will not open their mouths, and it is our business to leave and right." And now the Xianfu Palace is very lively, Concubine Wen Guifei herself is enough to toss, just pick one thing and make a fuss, I don't have to think about it. ”

Concubine Yi pointed outside and whispered, "Will they go to Cining Palace to report?" ”

"So what? I didn't do anything hurtful, Concubine Wen didn't do enough to take care of Eighth Elder Brother. Concubine Hui was very calm, and said even more disdainfully, "If the two palaces don't agree, it will really make Concubine Wen push the child out, and even the emperor may not be able to hold it down at that time, this little Niu Hulu is much more powerful than her sister." ”

Speaking of sisters and sisters, Concubine Yi couldn't help but think of her sister who had a bad life, and said that the spring draft would start next year, and now the four concubines are complete, and the younger sister of the imperial concubine does not know what the situation is when she enters the palace. Such words chattered for a long time, and when Concubine Yi said goodbye and wanted to leave, she went out and saw Baoyun standing at the door, and she didn't know how much she heard the words inside, Concubine Yi was weak for a while, and decided not to interfere in the affairs of the eighth elder brother, and to see where Concubine Hui could go, and she would not come to Changchun Palace for two days.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the month, the first lights in the palace are full of lights to welcome the new atmosphere, Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are always the old rules, each palace and each courtyard has prepared gift red envelopes, and the more attentive ones have sent gifts everywhere to please people since Laba, and there is the joy of sealing the six palaces, such as Lan Qi's side, Yonghe Palace rushed to open another room at the end of the year to pile up the congratulatory gifts received, and the Huanchun Guang gift list was recorded in a thick stack.

And Lan Qi as the fetus gradually grows up, her body also recovers, the concubine was still very weak that day, seven or eight days to raise, better than at the beginning of the month, the imperial doctor can finally report to the two palaces with peace of mind, no longer with the courage to report good news and not bad news.

However, the emperor has never come, although he sends people to greet him every day, he often goes to Xianfu Palace, Wen Guifei's birth is very troublesome, everyone in the palace knows it, and even Bu Guiren disdains Wen Guifei to be so hypocritical. But Lan Qi became more and more calm.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the emperor had dinner in Cining Palace this night, and brought the eldest brother and the prince together, and when he left, the emperor asked the people of Yuqing Palace and Brother to send the two sons back, and he took a warm sedan chair to go to Yonghe Palace. The eldest brother and the prince waited for their father to leave first before they had to get on the sedan chair respectively, Yinyu was shivering from the cold, and was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by his nanny and whispered: "The prince hasn't gotten on the sedan chair yet, the eldest brother will wait." ”

Yinhe was very unconvinced, glared back at his younger brother angrily, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm still a brother, am I not a younger brother if I become a prince?" Then he doesn't even want to be a son and grandson, just be his prince. ”

The attendants on both sides were a little embarrassed, Yinren also heard his brother's words, he walked over with an affectionate smile, pushed away the nanny and grandma, pulled his brother and said, "Brother Huang, you are thinly dressed, hurry up and get on the warm sedan chair and go." He even turned around and reprimanded those minions, "How do you serve, don't freeze the eldest brother." ”

Yinhe felt uncomfortable, he was young and didn't know how to be tactful, so he really snorted and got into the sedan chair by himself, the prince looked at it and smiled, and then turned around and walked away.

This small contradiction in front of Cining Palace was seen by many people with a heart, and without waiting for the two little masters to go back, everything that should be known and what should not be known has been passed over.

Xuan Ye came to Yonghe Palace here, the snow fell this afternoon, and it stopped in the evening, he got off the sedan chair and saw that the snow in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace had not moved, and the little eunuch who knocked on the door stepped on a series of footprints, remembering that he had let people accumulate snow in front of the Taihe Palace for two days, just to meet Lan Qi's desire to step on the snow and watch the snow, now I think about it, I am really young and vigorous, for the people I like, I still did a lot of stupid things that seem very rash now, but I also thought, since I can win the smile of my beloved, it is very worthwhile.

The door of Yonghe Palace opened quickly, I didn't know that the emperor would come, this side seemed to have stopped early, the little eunuchs hurriedly swept the snow in front of the door, Xuan Ye walked in again, and saw that Lu Zhu was going in to make a statement, so he stopped her and asked, "Is your master sleeping?" ”

"Niangniang is talking to the sixth elder brother, lying down, not sleeping yet." Green Bead responded, came up to take the snow that the emperor had untied, and opened a thick curtain.

Xuan Ye felt warm when he entered the house, but the smell of medicine that could not be dispersed here made his heart tight, thinking about Wen Guifei's body is obviously fine, mother and child are safe, and the hospital is too busy every day, but Lan Qi is really weak, but she doesn't say a word, just take care of her own good pregnancy. Immediately appearing, whether he likes this or not, even if he looks for others, no one will like unreasonable people.

Approaching the inner hall, I heard the sound of my son's babbling, Yinzuo was already babbling, Eniang Ama was called Delisuo, the whole sentence was not very successful, but I liked to talk very much, and I didn't know what I was talking about when I was in a hurry, Lan Qi learned that he also chattered, mother and son, you and I said a word, like a quarrel, Xuan Ye came in and saw them snuggling on the bed, his son's face was flushed, and he couldn't help laughing at Lan Qi: "You only have the ability to bully your son now." ”

Lan Qi saw Xuan Ye coming at first glance, and he was disheveled and scattered, he couldn't help but be a little panicked, and the little brother was very happy to see Amma, although father and son rarely see each other, but they are connected by blood and blood, the little guy believes that this person is his father, even if he doesn't see each other, he remembers it firmly, at this time he is arguing with Eniang, and when he sees his father, he opens his hand to hug.

Xuan Ye hugged Yinzuo in his arms, tickled and made him laugh, his son was coquettish in his arms, he turned around and saw Lan Qi was busy making his hair, stretched out his hand and slapped him and laughed: "What are you busy with, it's not like I've never seen you like this." ”

Lan Qi muttered: "The concubine read the book, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not see the emperor before her death, and she did not want to let the emperor see the appearance of her illness, and asked him to always remember the beautiful ...... that he had captivated the country and the city" But there was a sudden snap, Xuan Ye slapped Lan Qi on the mouth lightly, so frightened that she covered her mouth and silenced, and then looked at the emperor, and the people said with a cold face, "Tong Yan Wuji, what are you talking nonsense during the New Year, if you are not pregnant with a delicate child, I will definitely send you to Cining Palace and let the imperial grandmother teach you a lesson." ”

Yinzuo saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly coquettishly coaxed his father to be happy, but he didn't know that he was in the way of his parents' intimacy here, and it didn't take long for Ama to pat his ass and coax him to sleep.

After sending his son, Xuan Ye called someone to come in to serve the change of clothes and wash, just waiting for him to put on his bedclothes, and sat down directly next to Lan Qi, the eunuchs and palace maids all retreated, he smiled and said: "I'm used to you serving these things, their hands and feet are really cumbersome." ”

But the people around her didn't speak, Xuan Ye looked at her sideways, covered her mouth and didn't make a sound, her heart hurt and laughed, she leaned over and pulled her hand, kissed her lips twice, and asked gently, "Does it hurt?" I didn't use any force, I just slapped it. ”

Lan Qi pushed his hand away, lowered his head and said to himself: "The emperor hasn't come to see people for so long, and he beats and scolds him as soon as he comes, it turns out that Concubine Wen Gui's mother is very noble when she conceives a child, and the concubine is not as good as others, and she deserves to be poured with bowls of medicine every day." ”

Xuan Ye laughed when he heard it, and Lan Qi couldn't help but laugh softly, "The concubine said such a thing, and the emperor was upset when he heard it, right?" ”

"People say it must be boring to hear, but whatever you say is funny, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I love to hear whatever you say." Xuan Ye responded to her with a smile, but soon laughed out loud, "Do you like to hear this kind of thing?" I said it so badly. ”

The person next to her smiled contentedly and fell into his arms, unceremoniously found a comfortable position to calm down, Xuan Ye gently brushed her full hair, her fingers were slightly cool like silk, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard Su Mala Mama say that He Shou Wu is the most moist hair, so that the imperial grandmother used less gray hair, your hair is so good, is it used every day?" ”

"It's been a long time since I don't need it, and now I'm so annoyed to take medicine every day, where can I still toss this." Lan Qi sat up as she spoke, took Xuan Ye's hand and touched her cheek, and asked proudly, "Your Majesty, is it slippery?" ”

Xuan Ye stroked greedily, his skin was tender and smooth, and the body in front of him was indeed much better than before, his face was not only round, but also red and fluttering, which made him let go of the worry of smelling the smell of medicine when he entered the door just now.

"The paste that Mama made for the concubine herself, as soon as the northwest wind blew, Huanchun's face turned white, and the concubine has always been tender like tofu." Lan Qi excitedly came up to let Xuan Ye smell it, and asked proudly, "Can the emperor ask what it tastes like?" Mama used several kinds of flowers to make it. ”

Skin-to-skin blind date, soft body writhing in his arms, Xuan Ye's heart was slightly hot, and he quickly pushed her away gently, frowned and said, "You can't do this, what should I do if you provoke me, don't you go somewhere else in the middle of the night, don't you cry all night?" ”

Lan Qi suddenly understood what was going on, thinking about the night and night in Yingtai*, her face was even redder with shame, just now her coquettish behavior inadvertently provoked the emperor, and quickly did it in peace, not long after the two of them lay down, Lan Qi nested in Xuan Ye's arms, and listened to him: "There are many things in the New Year, you also know, I'm afraid I can't come to see you often." I also planned a Lantern Festival banquet to invite the minister, enjoy the lanterns and chant poems, and I couldn't come to Yonghe Palace in the next few days, I thought that you would definitely come, if you feel uncomfortable and want to see me, let Huanchun tell me. ”

Lan Qi should know, but then heard Xuan Ye say: "After the first month, in February, I will go to Jingshan to fast, and then take the prince east to visit the tomb, all the way to Shengjing, I am afraid that I will return to Beijing in April and May." ”

"The emperor has been out for so long?" Lan Qi moved away and looked at Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye bowed his head and said, "Actually, I set the itinerary early, I wanted to take you with me, but then you became pregnant, I hesitated for a long time, I had to go on this trip, so I could only leave you behind." I will send someone to take good care of you, the imperial grandmother and the imperial mother are also in the palace, I am very relieved about these, but I am not worried about you, these days I heard the imperial doctor say that you are getting better and better, and my heart is still not steady. ”

"The concubine will give birth in June, and the emperor will return to Beijing in April and May." Lan Qi smiled, "Your Majesty, please travel with peace of mind, the concubines are obediently in the palace, as long as you wait for you to come back, don't dislike the concubines' big bellies and ugly faces, and accompany the concubines more." ”

"How could I dislike you?" Xuan Ye was pleased, although he was not at ease, but he couldn't help but take this trip, and asked Lan Qi again and again, "Can I really leave the palace with confidence?" ”

"The concubines are reluctant, don't go out with the emperor." Lan Qi confessed what was in her heart, but then stretched out her hand to hold Xuan Ye's face and said proudly, "But in this way, the emperor owes the concubine a favor, and the concubine will talk to you back, and her waist will be straight." ”

Seeing her Rusi, Xuan Ye no longer worried, saying that he had no favors to owe, Lan Qi did not follow, the two laughed and entangled, no one mentioned the parting after that, spent one night at ease and happy, the next day on Chinese New Year's Eve, many etiquette waiting for the emperor to do, naturally there was no time to meet.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the most joyful of the New Year's festival is the children, the new auspicious clothes are worn, the princesses are so beautiful that they are like fairy children and jade girls from the New Year's paintings, and they kowtow to the great grandmother and the imperial grandmother in Cining Palace to receive the New Year's money, and the children are more chattering and making the old people have a headache, and naturally they will soon disperse.

Most of the other elder brother princesses are led by Eniang, when the fourth elder brother went out, because there were guests coming, the imperial concubine did not follow, and then returned to Chengqian Palace, the guests had already left, Yinzhen was holding a big red envelope and wanted to come to Eniang to show off, but saw that her mother was looking up to drink medicine, and after drinking, her brows were furrowed, and her tears were in her eyes, and the little guy ran over anxiously and pounced on the imperial concubine's knees and asked: "Eniang is sick?" ”
