Huanchun was speechless, sure enough, she didn't understand the heart of a mother, but she also had good intentions, and she didn't want the relationship between mother and son to really crack, and it was not harmonious at the beginning, what will she do in the next few decades? .

Lan Qi gently flicked the gold-plated copper ring on the stove in her hand, and the chime made a sound, and the palace maid behind her came to tell her that the house was cleaned, so she handed the hand stove to Huanchun, and instructed the nurse to bring the children, and Huanchun put down the hand stove and followed over to remove the porcelain cups and plates on the kang table.

Seeing the master sitting cross-legged on the side, he took off the hairpin beads on the bun and handed it to her, probably because he was afraid that the children would prick their hands when they were entangled in their bodies and frolicking, but they said: "The palace does not celebrate the festival, Laba always has to respond to a scene, and when the time comes, the Queen Mother will enjoy Laba porridge in the palace, and you will send someone to inform the Feiyangu family and let Fujin take Yuxi into the palace to drink porridge, and say that it is what I mean." ”

Huanchun knew that the fourth elder brother and Miss Yuxi were the most talkative, and guessed that the master still hoped to ease up with the fourth elder brother, so he was very happy, and hurriedly packed up his things and personally found someone to pass the word. It didn't take long for the nurse to lead Princess Wen Chen and the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brother to come, and the three little guys chattered and pestered Eniang, one by one domineering to compete for favor, punching and kicking the ground in a hurry, crying and laughing completely ignorant, but she was crazy with the dolls for a while, even if her ears were buzzing with noise, she was much more down-to-earth.

Early the next morning, when Yonghe Palace had breakfast, the fourth elder brother had already gone to the study, Qinglian came to tell the fourth elder brother's diet, saying that he had barely moved this morning, and he left it after drinking half a bowl of milk tea.

Lan Qi asked: "In the past, when the fourth elder brother encountered something in the study, would he tell the queen mother?" ”

Qinglian responded: "It's not so much whether I will tell the queen mother, it's better to say that the fourth elder brother almost didn't encounter anything at that time, and the only time he suddenly led the eighth elder brother back, I told the mother afterwards, saying that the eighth elder brother was bullied by Diao Nu in Changchun Palace." ”

"Niangniang is thoughtful in current affairs, and the brothers were still young in the past, so there will really be nothing wrong." Lan Qi felt that Qinglian was reasonable, and told Qinglian not to care too much, and just watch from the sidelines.

After Qinglian left, the small kitchen sent the freshly steamed Shou peach buns, all of which were round and vivid, and the proclamation in the kitchen said: "According to the instructions of the mother, I made rose bean paste and sauerkraut pork, but the slave maid still heard for the first time that the shou peach was made into salty filling." ”

Lan Qi smiled and said nothing, she took the bean paste filling and ate one, and asked Huanchun to find a delicate food box to pack it in two layers, Huanchun asked her where she was going to send it, Lan Qi said: "Today is the twenty-seventh, it is Wen Ke's birthday, you send it to Zhang Promise, you don't have to hide it, just go generously." ”

"The master remembered it so carefully, and the slave didn't think about it." Huan Chun sighed, and suddenly said, "Zhang promised to eat salty stuffed buns, you remember everything." ”

Lan Qi didn't want her to continue to serve, so Huanchun took a little palace maid to the north courtyard behind Ningshou Palace, that place was really remote, and she had just arrived nearby after walking a long way, but when the two turned around, they suddenly saw a group of people who had just passed in front of them, Huanchun squinted and looked carefully, and saw that the person holding the sedan chair was the pink of Yikun Palace.

"Let's wait a little while." Huan Chun led the little palace maid to retreat, not wanting to collide with Concubine Yi, and heard the movement of the sedan chair that seemed to be over there, and Taohong said loudly: "Little princess, slow down, be careful of falling." ”

On this side, the quiet courtyard suddenly had a distinguished guest, Zhang promised to lead Lily of the Valley and Xiaoyu to wait in front of the door, did not see Concubine Yi come in first, but saw a child in a red cotton jacket staggering over the threshold, nearly half a year has not seen, the little princess has grown up a lot, and her walking is stable, Zhang promised to remember very clearly, today is the second birthday of the princess.

After half a year's absence, when the child saw his biological mother again, it was obviously a little strange, but children like beautiful people, and they have some impressions, so they happily came up and hugged their mother's legs, babbling and talking.

"Concubine Yi is auspicious." At this moment, Lily of the Valley and Xiaoyu suddenly bowed to the ground, and Zhang promised to see Concubine Yi swaying in, and quickly pulled away the little princess and curtsied.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground, and the little princess can't be frozen, so hurry up and hug the house." Concubine Yi commanded casually, while raising her eyes to look at the courtyard, she frowned, "There is still such a small and dilapidated place in the Forbidden City, and those who don't know will be beaten into the cold palace when you are still in the cold palace." ”

The group went to the house and sat down, although the room that Zhang promised had two rooms inside and outside, and tables and chairs were set up outside to meet guests, but the two rooms together were not as big as Concubine Yi's bedroom in Yikun Palace, she sighed and said: "Even the firewood room of the big family outside the palace is also more spacious than you." He also shuddered and said, "The house is so small and so cold, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has shortened your charcoal case?" ”

Zhang promised to respond softly: "There is nothing to do." ”

"Now that Concubine De is in charge, does the Internal Affairs Office dare to shorten your case, isn't it her who has the final say? She's so ruthless, don't you wish you were dead? "Concubine Yi came up and instigated, her face was mean and sour, and her heart trembled, since she said that sentence in Chengqian Palace and was heard by the emperor, no matter how magnificent Yikun Palace is, it is no different from the cold palace, even if the emperor didn't often go to see her, he also sent someone to send something every once in a while, even if a bowl of dishes in the imperial meal was a thought, not to mention that he was resting in Yikun Palace for a while, but the emperor almost forgot about her for most of the year, and guarded Yikun Palace alone, and she was about to become a resentful woman.

A few days ago, she chose a master for Brother Jiu, she kindly sent some meeting gifts to the study, but the emperor sent someone to Yikun Palace to blame her for many things, the eunuch passed the word by word with a straight face, she knelt on the cold floor tiles outside the palace door to listen to the announcement, after the people left, she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"You look thin, aren't you eating well?" Concubine Yi pressed her thoughts, and even called Lily of the Valley to reprimand her, "You experienced palace maids are the most capable of bullying people, do you think that Zhang Yu is down-and-out here, so you can't serve well, although you are in charge of the palace, but a slave is a slave, and it is not your turn to bully her." ”

Lily of the valley listened respectfully, Zhang promised to be very disgusted and disgusted by Concubine Yi's face, and Lily of the Valley took care of her meticulously, but now she was scolded for no reason, and was punished by Concubine Yi to stand outside in the tuyere.

The room was finally quiet, and Zhang Xu's hand clenched his fist under the cuffs, just hoping that Concubine Yi would leave quickly, but the little princess suddenly babbled in the nurse's arms, and then giggled, she raised her eyes and looked over, and couldn't help but let go of her fist, full of love for the child.

Concubine Yi looked at it coldly, and took the opportunity to say: "The queen is not here anyway, I'll find a chance to take you back, I heard that the emperor turned over your brand the night before, but unfortunately you were uncomfortable and didn't go to serve, didn't you?" ”

Zhang promised to nod and said softly: "The letter of the cold moon is not very punctual, and the days of the internal affairs office are a little deviated, and they don't know that they have a green card, and when they come to announce the decree, they know that the concubine is uncomfortable and can't serve." ”

"Look, Long Live Lord still thinks about you, he really likes you, how long has it been since he was close to the harem, Wang Chang is in Pingping, and they are not more than Erer, but they think of the people in your corner." Concubine Yi leaned over and approached Zhang to agree, pulled out her hand from under her sleeve, held it carefully, and said, "Good sister, I have wronged you, I will take you back in a few days." ”

Zhang promised to be disgusted for a while, with a cowardly look on his face, and said softly: "I'm afraid that someone will say that you are disrespectful to Queen Daxing." ”

That day in Chengqian Palace, Zhang promised to also stand at the end, just when the emperor came, she turned around and glanced at Xuan Ye, the front few ladies were talking, the emperor signaled her not to make a sound, and then she heard Concubine Yi's ridicule of Concubine De, and then the crowd hulala dispersed to make way for her, and the emperor appeared in front of everyone. Zhang promised to look at Concubine Yi's pale face and swaying steps afterwards, and knew that she was frightened.

"The concubine also wants to go back to Yikun Palace, it is dilapidated and old, and it is so cold that she can't sleep well at night, but she can't do it." Zhang Yu lowered his eyes and said, "After all, it is what the queen said in public, if you take the concubine back now, Long Live Lord will definitely not care about you, but will feel that you are generous." can't stop those broken love arrangements, if you go around preaching that you are disrespectful to the queen of Daxing, and the queen has only passed away for a few months, you ignore her will during her lifetime, how can it be good? ”

Concubine Yi was stunned when she heard this, and her hand unconsciously let go, and her heart suddenly jumped back and sat up straight, and said word by word: "Is it difficult, is it like this for a lifetime?" ”

This trip, in vain, Concubine Yi has always wanted to win over Zhang to agree, but she can't let go, just on the little princess's birthday, she made an excuse to come, but I didn't expect that in the end it was not Zhang who promised to go back with her, but couldn't follow, a dead woman's order held her hostage, she was already disgusted by the emperor, and she could no longer do truthful things.

Zhang promised to send Concubine Yi and the princess to the door, Concubine Yi finally had a little kindness, let her hug her daughter, and when she was about to leave, Zhang promised to deliberately show goodwill, and said softly: "The concubine here occasionally has people to send things, Xiaoyu often goes out to receive rewards and receive points, I heard a few words about the palace, the eldest brother has been beautiful in the past few months, Concubine Hui must be very proud." ”

She was worried that she would leave Yikun Palace and Concubine Yi spinelessly go to get along with Concubine Hui, but she didn't expect that this time people were very angry, and sneered: "I really said that you are right, so proud that your tail is going to the sky, and you sent things to my house a few days ago, that posture, is it looking forward to me waging my tail and begging for mercy on her?" ”

Zhang promised to be relieved, respectfully sent Concubine Yi away, and then hurriedly pulled the Lily of the Valley who was standing in the punishment station into the house to wrap the quilt, and asked Xiaoyu to cook ginger soup, Lily of the Valley was so cold that she shivered, but said with a smile: "I have always heard that this Concubine Yi is straight, and I saw it today." ”

Zhang promised to stuff a stove in her arms, and said distressedly: "She is like this, but she doesn't have much real ability, you have been wronged." ”

At this time, someone came in from outside, and the two were shocked to think that Concubine Yi was back, but they heard Huanchun's voice and said, "Xiaoyu, you fanned the stove like this, what kind of fire is there?" ”
