Hearing the words of the sister-in-law, the young concubines remembered something that was not ashamed, they were close to each other at the age of the side, and they couldn't help but laugh, Yuxi blushed instead, and said angrily: "Okay, what are you laughing at?" ”

There was laughter in the house, and it became more and more silent that the snow was falling outside the house, Lan Qi and Concubine Liang looked inside, and Concubine Liang said, "When I first met you, I was younger than them." In the end, the children are blessed, they are born to enjoy a blessed life, they are young ladies at home, they are married to be lucky, and they meet a good mother-in-law like you. ”

Lan Qi smiled: "They are all good children, how can my mother-in-law let them compare." ”

Concubine Liang said: "Sure enough, it's a good family from a serious family." ”

Lan Qi smiled and asked, "How do you say this, Bafujin is still a young lady in the palace." ”

Concubine Liang put the big snow together, although the snow is silent, the sky is really cold, now more and more aged, the body is always cold, thinking that she is a person with a cold heart as ice, should feel that everything in the world is cold. At this moment, he said quietly: "That child is always missing something more than them, and now it is even more god-like, superstitious to an old Taoist priest, always send me some pills, I don't know if she eats it herself, I let the imperial doctor see those things, although you can't eat the dead, the medicine is too strong, and the body is strong in the middle and outside after a long time." ”

Lan Qi smiled lightly: "But you said so much, aren't you worried about her?" ”

Concubine Liang said coldly: "I'm worried about her? I just don't want her to be sideways and ruin a good thing. ”

Lan Qi didn't say anything anymore, she just didn't understand, what was Concubine Liang pursuing, she and the emperor had a very tacit understanding, it was a completely different tacit understanding between Xuan Ye and herself, if Xuan Ye was in the next game of chess, she was a spectator at best, as if Jue Chan was the one who really fought side by side with the emperor.

At this time, Yinxiang's Fujin came out of the door, smiled and said, "Eniang, it's cold after standing for a long time, you and Concubine Liang come in." My sister said that she had silver on her today, and my fourth sister-in-law and I plan to win it, and let the slaves go to the city to buy delicious food in a while, so can we add a few dishes to Ruijingxuan today? ”

Lan Qi smiled: "You always bully her, and she won't play with you next time." ”

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the concubine played cards for an afternoon, and when the emperor came to eat at night, there were fresh things on the table that were not seen on weekdays, and they were rushed to buy dishes from the city in the evening.

Xuan Ye heard it and laughed at Lan Qi: "You don't even let go of your daughter-in-law's silver?" ”

Lan Qi glanced at him, brought him a bowl of soup to warm his stomach and then moved his chopsticks, and smiled: "Did they take less from me?" I still regret that I didn't take more good things from Cining Palace back then, and I was happy with satisfaction at that time, thinking that it was all mine, but now I understand, but it is just a turn of hand, and the bottom of the box is about to be taken out, and the granddaughter-in-law will enter the door in the future, but I am afraid that my grandmother will be shy in her pocket. ”

Xuan Ye ignored her and drank the soup by herself, Lan Qi waited for a long time and didn't see the emperor react, threw away the chopsticks in her hand and didn't wait, took a handkerchief and pursed her lips and sat aside, waiting for Xuan Ye to look up and see this scene, and smiled helplessly: "What do you want, I can't do it according to you, you are so greedy for money, do your daughters-in-law know?" ”

Lan Qi smiled and said: "I want to reward my daughters-in-law with a pair of jade bracelets for the New Year, is there a good one here for the emperor?" ”

The emperor scolded Mr. Liang for not being strict, he just got a batch of jade bracelets from Yunnan the day before yesterday, and he didn't plan to put them down, Lan Qi was eyeing him, Liang's father-in-law laughed with him, and said that he wanted to send someone back to the palace to get it immediately, and was beaten by Xuan Ye, and between laughs, Xuan Ye had a big appetite, and the food in the city was fresh and delicious, and his appetite was not as good as before recently, but he has entered a lot today.

After the meal, Huanchun said that there was snow outside, and it was rare that the first snow could accumulate, and the two stood under the eaves to look at the white world, so that they could talk and eat, Lan Qi couldn't help but feel a chill, Xuan Ye noticed it, shook off the big coat and wrapped her in his arms to keep warm, and said in her ear: "Old age is a companion, isn't that it?" ”

Although Lan Qi's heart is warm, but there is sad news this night, her ancient Ama Eniang is already in her twilight years, Mrs. Wuya is even worse every day after entering autumn this year, and Lan Ying is already serving at her mother's house every day. That night, when Lan Qi and Xuan Ye were playing chess to relieve their boredom, Huan Chun came in with a sad face and said, "Ying Fujin sent a message to come in and said that the old woman is no longer good. ”

Hearing this, Lan Qi put a white child between her fingers into her palm, and looked stunned for a while, not knowing what to say, although her hand was clenched into a fist, she was still trembling slightly. Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to hold her and said, "Go and see, it's easy to get in and out of the garden, tomorrow morning, I will call Yinzhen to escort you." ”

This night, the two hugged each other and slept together, Xuan Ye hugged her and never let go of his hand, Lan Qi remembered that when he watched the snow at night, he said that being old is like this, thinking that they are all old, their parents are not old, and their mother has left since then, and she also left with blessings. was at ease for a while, and finally slept through the middle of the night, and Xuan Ye was relieved to see that she was stable.

Early the next morning, the emperor called Yinzhen and asked him to take Lan Qi back to his parents' house privately, and naturally sent a large number of guards to protect him secretly, but he must be cautious when traveling and don't let others know. Although the incident was sudden, Yinzhen also arranged it properly, and sent her mother back to her parents' house safely, and then safely returned to Changchun Garden, and the people in the garden and the palace did not notice it, and when they knew about it, Concubine De's mother was gone. What's even more embarrassing is that his father seems to be reluctant to let go of his beloved wife's death, Mrs. Wu Ya died not long ago, and the old man also lingered on the sickbed, and left quietly in Layue.

Although Lan Qi is already a grandmother, her eldest granddaughter Nian Tong is a big girl, at the age when she entered the palace, Cheng Huan is a daughter under her knees, and her parents are still a sustenance for her. Now that both parents have passed away, and she has never fulfilled her filial piety, at this time she wants to cheer up and celebrate the festival with the people in the palace, it is inevitable that some strong people will be difficult, and everyone will see that Yonghe Palace is covered with a layer of sadness, and they are also interested in their own interests, and they do not bother Concubine De.

Only Xuan Ye was considerate and often came to talk to Lan Qi, and she didn't want Xuan Ye to worry about it, so she gradually let go of her sadness, and everything was the same.

In the blink of an eye, it was in the first month of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and on the day of the Tang family in the concubine room in Yuqing Palace, Zhang Gege of Babeile Mansion outside the Qiaogong Palace was also going to give birth, but it was a double happiness. The ladies gathered in Ningshou Palace to wait for the good news, Yuqing Palace came first, saying that a little girl was born, and the Queen Mother recited the Buddha and said: "I hope this young lady brings a younger brother to her uncle's family, Yinxi's family is really pitiful." ”

I don't know if the queen mother's wish came true, or the eight blessings of the golden day in the Taoist temple kowtow to pray for blessings moved the gods, Zhang Gege won the man in one fell swoop this time, after many years of marriage in the eighth elder brother's house, I finally heard the cry of the child, the good news came into the palace, and the queen mother urged the concubine to say: "Hurry up and return your wish to the Bodhisattva." ”

Concubine Tong has always been good friends with Concubine Liang, so she said to accompany her, and even called Lan Qi and the concubine and others, the sisters came from Ningshou Palace, and when they passed through Yuqing Palace, they saw that there were people in and out of the door very busy, but everyone had a tense look on their faces, and they didn't see a little anger, obviously it was a good thing to add a daughter, but no one dared to show a smile.

Concubine Tong sighed lightly: "It's a good blessing, but you have to toss it." ”

In Yuqing Palace, the crown princess had just gone to see the Tang family and the newly-born child, and when she came to the study, she saw that the prince was writing something on the desk, she mentioned again that the Tang family gave birth to a daughter, and the prince raised his head and frowned: "I was born." ”

The crown princess glanced at the table and asked, "What are you writing?" ”

Yinren said impatiently: "Huang Ama asked us about the strategy for governing the Dzungar Department, I forgot it, and I will present it tomorrow morning, don't bother me." ”

When the crown princess saw him like this, she turned around and left, and when she walked to the door, she looked back at her husband again, and her heart was cold, what was he still struggling with? The emperor unloaded all the things he had on hand at the end of the year, did he still regard himself as the crown prince?

Not long after she walked away, a palace maid greeted her and told her that a little brother had been added to Babeile Mansion, and asked the princess if she wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift, she smiled coldly: "According to the rules, no matter how bad it is, the dignity of Yuqing Palace will have to last." ”

At this time, the Babeile Mansion, the people who came to congratulate him almost broke the door, Yinxi made a lot of friends in the court, and has always been very popular, and now it has finally opened up, and everyone is rushing to talk about the eighth elder brother who is now the most important by the emperor, Yinxi is tired of coping, and he has not seen his newborn child properly.

I couldn't cope with it at this time, and asked where Bafujin was, and the next person said embarrassedly: "Fujin took the little brother back to her house and refused to come out again." ”

Yin Yu frowned, simply let the housekeeper deal with it first, and hurried to the inner courtyard, but saw that the door of his wife's house was closed, and the maids and old mothers were standing outside, he pushed the door and entered, and saw that his wife was kneeling by the cradle, her eyes were red and swollen and her face was full of tears, and she cried while holding the cradle: "Good boy, Eniang has been waiting for you for a long, long time......

Yinxi wanted to go in and ask her why she took the child over without authorization, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't give up, withdrew to cover the door, and instructed her subordinates: "You take good care of the child." ”

Before the words fell, the housekeeper hurriedly ran and said, "Lord Belle, the king of Zhijun and the third elder brother have arrived, and the reward of Yuqing Palace has arrived." ”

Yinxi had to go out and welcome the two brothers to the main hall, the third elder brother smiled: "The posture of entering the door scared me, if you didn't think that you could easily get a son, I really couldn't figure it out, didn't you just give birth to a child?" ”

Yinxi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed to say it, it's been so many years." ”

The eldest brother smiled duciously: "After that, the branches and leaves will be scattered, and waiting for people to prosper, we came from the palace, and I heard that Huang Ama has given a name." Of course, I don't know if it's exact, it's said that it's to name the child Hongwang, which shows that when your house is good, it's behind. ”
