And the emperor didn't walk for long, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Nalan Rongruo, Rong Ruo was also stunned, and knew in his heart that the emperor had remembered something, and sure enough, he saw him and said: "The concubine who was pushed out of Xianfu Palace just now is your cousin." ”

Rong Ruo lowered his head and said yes, and didn't say a word about the others, only Xuan Ye continued: "She has always gotten along well with Concubine Wen in Xianfu Palace, Concubine Wen may have this abnormal behavior because of the excessive grief of losing her son, I will send someone to make proper arrangements, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Rong Ruo lowered his head and said: "This is the matter of the inner woman, and the minister does not dare to intervene." ”

Xuan Ye nodded slightly, turned around and continued walking. Rong Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow the emperor, but the cousin's hurried eyes just now were engraved in his heart, he felt sorry for her, but he couldn't do anything for her, the only thing that could protect her was to break off all relations with her, so that the emperor could see that he was living his life for the sake of his feelings, and everything was for the emperor's sentence "I am not stingy".

The two monarchs and ministers went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, discussed the route of the eastern tour, and Rong Ruo would leave Beijing first to hit the front station in the near future. The emperor and him, on the monarch and the minister, Xuan Ye is the only one who dares to be tolerant; In terms of affection, Xuan Ye and Rong Ruo are of the same age, they both love sinology and are like-minded, if there is no difference between monarchs and ministers, they will inevitably become close friends. Important things Xuan Ye will think of him first, if it weren't for the fact that Mingzhu and his father and son joined forces to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, and wanted to give him a higher official position, as for the Juechan clan, at this time and that time, now Xuan Ye would not care for a long time.

The farce of Xianfu Palace was transmitted to the Sixth Palace, Wen Guifei wanted to drive Juechan's mother and son away regardless of it, this is the first rare thing since the founding of the Qing Dynasty to establish the harem, the concubines who were ordered to raise the prince did such a ridiculous thing, even if she lost her son and was pitiful, the Queen Mother was also very angry, and it should be handed over to the Queen Mother, "If she doesn't want to raise it, she doesn't have to raise it, the harem does not lack a concubine who raises children, is it still begging her to fail?" ”

Su Mala Mama privately appeased her master Mo Dong, and said on the other hand: "When the eighth elder brother has not landed, Concubine Hui has been lobbying the noble people of Juechan to raise her children in the future, and even mentioned it in front of you and the emperor, a few days ago Baoyun said that she always closed the door with Concubine Yi and didn't know what to plan, the slave maid thought about it, if Concubine Wen really didn't want the eighth elder brother, among the four concubines, these two were suitable, and in terms of age and qualifications, Concubine Hui had an advantage. ”

"In this way, once the eighth elder brother leaves Xianfu Palace, Concubine Hui will be satisfied?" The Empress Dowager frowned and sneered, "I don't know if she did anything, but right now, Concubine Wen Guifei is crazy and pushes out the eighth elder brother, and it can't be counted on her head." ”

Mama said: "Concubine Hui Niangniang's city is deep, everything is calculated and everything is profitable, and the slave maid feels that the things that can benefit must be inseparable from her." If it doesn't happen this time, I don't know what other way to make the palace uneasy in the future, but if it is done, Concubine Hui will be very proud. ”

"Then let her be proud, and let the Queen Mother give her a favor." The Empress Dowager relented, and said disdainfully, "She raised the eighth elder brother, but she just wanted to find a helper for her son in the future, a prince with a lowly biological mother can't become a climate, and she won't let this child become a climate." In that case, let her keep it. ”

Let's say that after the Juechan clan was pushed out of the Xianfu Palace, Gonggong Li couldn't convince Concubine Wen, so he temporarily placed the nobles of Juechan in the nearby palace, and hurriedly told the top, Xuan Ye heard that the imperial grandmother let the queen mother cook, so he stopped interfering, Gonggong Li reminded him what to do with the eighth elder brother, Xuan Ye also knew the thoughts of some people, guessing that the imperial grandmother and the queen mother would have a tacit understanding, so they simply didn't care.

In this way, all the concubines gathered in Ningshou Palace to discuss, and Concubine Yi saw that things had really developed to this point, so she recommended Concubine Hui to take care of the eighth elder brother in front of the queen mother as agreed with Concubine Hui, and taking care of it is different from raising it, Concubine Rong also said: "The concubine thinks that if the concubine Niangniang is really no longer willing to raise the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother will either be sent to the elder brother's office, or refer to another adoptive mother, it must be settled." If you go to the brother's office, you won't leave, and if you don't go to the brother's office, you have to stay in the first palace and settle down. ”

The Queen Mother bowed: "That's the truth." "Because she saw that the imperial concubine was on her side, now that she was in charge of the six palaces, she couldn't help but ask what she meant, but the imperial concubine didn't like Xiao Niu Hulu's family, and she didn't look down on the eighth elder brother's mother and son, it didn't matter what she did, and the sentence "Concubine Rong said it was good" came back perfunctory.

At this time, Concubine Hui was even more determined, and generously took the initiative to ask to raise the eighth elder brother, and said: "The nobles of Juechan are only afraid that they will live in Xianfu Palace for a short time, so it is better to let their mother and son go to Changchun Palace with their concubines." ”

But this matter didn't work out, Mama Su Mala had already instructed the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager felt that the Juechan clan was too charming, but it had always been very proper in the Xianfu Palace, there was no need to move it again, Wen Guifei would be good if she went crazy for a while, and she couldn't ignore it because he was a royal descendant, as for whether the Juechan clan was dead or alive in the Xianfu Palace, there was no need to think about it. To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see this bewitching and beautiful woman get the emperor's favor again.

So, the Queen Mother decided to hand over the eighth elder brother to Concubine Hui to raise, and when the Empress Dowager played and informed the emperor, there was no objection to both places, and the matter was decided.

Although everything came quickly, but not suddenly, Concubine Hui calmly and calmly was led by the little eunuch all the way to the palace where the mother and son of the Juechan family were temporarily housed, and when she entered the door, she saw the nurse holding the little brother in her arms and dangling under the eaves, Juechan sat by the charcoal basin with a sluggish expression, only to hear someone salute Concubine Hui, only to find out who the person who came.

Concubine Hui dictated the queen mother's decree, and the eighth elder brother's nursing mother happily hugged the little prince and kowtowed to thank her, but the Juechan clan on the side listened very inexplicably, and watched Concubine Hui carry the child over, and walked up to her with a happy face, and said condescendingly: "This palace and this child have a fate, and the eighth elder brother will call this palace Eniang in the future." He leaned down and teased her very lightly, "Good sister, you feel very uncomfortable, right?" ”

Jue Chan frowned, thinking back to the things in Xianfu Palace these days, and then looking at the appearance of the nurse on the side, she finally understood why the child cried day and night, and suddenly pounced on it and seemed to be competing for the child in Concubine Hui's arms, Concubine Hui was caught off guard, and held the child and did not dare to let go, the other palace maids did not have time to run over, and let Jue Chan tear off the pants of the eighth elder brother, the white and tender buttocks were exposed, and the top was full of bruises, and the nurse on the side saw this, her face was pale and trembling with fright.

The eighth elder brother was even more frightened and cried, Concubine Hui hurriedly pulled up his pants for him, and pretended to be calm and waited for Juechan: "What are you doing?" ”

"Concubine Hui." Juezen looked at her coldly.

Concubine Hui was embarrassed in her heart, gasped slightly to calm down, and asked disdainfully: "What do you want to say, I have nothing to say about this palace, I have to leave, no one lives here, and it is not suitable for little brother to stay." ”

Jue Chan sneered: "Since Niangniang finally took away the eighth elder brother, then please take care of it, and the concubine dares to remind you, be careful of raising tigers." ”

Concubine Hui glared at her angrily: "Nonsense, no wonder the Queen Mother won't allow you to leave Xianfu Palace, you crazy man, go crazy with Concubine Wen." ”

After all, she has a weak heart, she has been nervous when she was in Ningshou Palace just now, for fear that someone has gone to see the eighth elder brother, if the queen mother has the wrong idea to send the prince to the elder brother's office, as long as someone finds the scars on the little elder brother's body, the nurse can't escape the blame, then she will definitely confess. Although she thought about this move, she was a little impulsive on the day of the Lantern Festival, and she was finally lucky to be slammed into the present.

I didn't want to talk to Juechan anymore, Concubine Hui hugged the eighth elder brother and led the nurse to hurry away, and the people in the worship room here invited the Juechan nobles to return to Xianfu Palace, and Xianghe protected the master and said: "The concubine Niangniang threw out all the things of my master, and then go back, find to be beaten?" ”

Where can the people who come hear this, seeing that the Juezen nobles are down, who will care if you are beaten and scolded, it is important to do the things assigned by the superiors well, so that they can say that they will send the Juezen nobles back, and at this moment Wen Guifei has already taken medicine and fallen asleep, Dongyun came over to command the palace maids to clean up her things, and kindly comforted the Juechan family: "Don't take it to heart, you have been living here, you know the temper of the mother, she is sad and broken, and she can't regret it after a while." ”

Jue Chan sneered: "It's too late to regret it, it's difficult for her to want the eighth elder brother again." ”

Dongyun listened to her talk like this, but she couldn't see any reluctant emotions on the face of this biological mother, she was still so indifferent and ruthless, thinking that it would be useless to say more, and she herself couldn't wait for the child to be sent away, and she couldn't serve a big one, and the eighth elder brother always loved to cry, so it was better to leave.

As for the Juechan family, although the eighth elder brother was finally taken away by Concubine Hui, she was angry, but she didn't care about this child, anyway, Concubine Hui would not kill the child, it was the same wherever she was raised, her original temperament had faded, and she was really taken away by Concubine Hui, so she just took it away.

Today's farce made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she could see the people who were haunted by her dreams, looking at each other at a hurried glance, how much emotion was immersed in it, Rong Ruo's glance completely offset all these sad encounters, she saw herself in Rong Ruo's eyes, she knew that Rong Ruo had her own place in her heart, her Rong Ruo was not snatched away by Shen Wan, even though the high wall was blocked, their hearts were still together. For her, that's enough to live.

Xuan Ye's side was not free until he agreed with Rong Ruo on the matter of the eastern tour, and the farce in the harem had subsided, the eighth elder brother went to Changchun Palace, the noble Juechan returned to Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Wen's behavior was that there was some hysteria, and the Empress Dowager had ordered the Tai Hospital to treat it with all its might.

The emperor came to Cining Palace, the queen mother was also there, the three of them sat and said about it, the queen mother smiled bitterly: "The imperial concubine is really angry and helpless, when will the emperor tell her that she can't do anything if she takes the phoenix seal." ”

Xuan Ye didn't know whether it was partiality or indifference, he only smiled and said: "Huang Eniang is more responsible, she is young, and she has never been a director, so she has to take her time." ”

Later, when it came to the emperor's fasting in Jingshan in February, and the subsequent tour to the east, the empress dowager was only worried about the safety of the emperor's travel, and after listening to the arrangements for the accompanying escort, she instructed Xuan Ye: "You don't have to worry about anything these days, accompany Lan Qi more, others can't care if they are jealous, and they can't always work hard with her child." ”

But Xuan Ye had his own thoughts, and said frankly to his grandmother: "My grandson would rather she be wronged these days, and when my grandson is not at home, no one will worry about bullying her." It's not that I'm not at ease with the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's mother, it's really something like a drug, and I can't prevent it, how can I be regarded as hurting her, now I know very well in my heart. ”

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager glanced at each other, and the Empress Dowager smiled: "The concubine said something disrespectful, our emperor is really much more delicate than the first emperor." ”

In Changchun Palace, after Concubine Hui sent the concubines who came to congratulate her, she was alone with the nurse holding the eighth brother in the house, she also carefully looked at the scars on the eighth brother's buttocks, and the child trembled with pain when she touched it lightly, and she couldn't even sit down, no wonder a few concubines teased him and hugged him just now, he kept crying in horror, and Concubine Hui couldn't help but say to the nursing mother: "You are also ruthless." ”

The nurse smiled and said, "If the slave doesn't do this, why does the eighth elder brother cry?" Niangniang is really like a god, and in the future, the slave and maid will serve the eighth elder brother wholeheartedly, and when the eighth elder brother is not crying, he can be likable. ”

Concubine Hui cared for the delicate child, coaxed him to sleep, and said nice words to appease the nurse, but she already had a plan in her heart, this nurse can't stay, and she is not in a hurry at the moment, and when the emperor leaves the palace and then cleans her up, it is too easy to deal with a nurse, and an illness can deprive her of the right to feed the little brother, and it is not her turn to blame herself.

At this moment, the palace maid outside came to report, saying that the eldest brother came to ask for peace, Concubine Hui let the nurse rest for a while, and went out with the eighth elder brother in her arms, and when she saw her son coming in briskly, she was full of love, and asked with a smile: "What is so happy, today the emperor Ama praised you again?" ”

Yin Yu nodded happily and said, "Amaqua's son's handwriting is better than before, and he said that he will make progress next time, and he will reward his son with a foal." ”

Concubine Hui was overjoyed, and asked Baoyun and the others to prepare the snacks that the eldest brother liked, and heard her son say: "Ama said that E-Niang got the eighth elder brother, and let her son come to congratulate E-niang." ”

"What did the emperor say?" Concubine Hui was a little surprised, sat in the palace with her son, and showed him the eighth elder brother who had just fallen asleep, the child was tired, and now he was finally free from the pain of flesh and skin, and slept steadily and peacefully, Concubine Hui said to her son gently, "In the future, you have to love the eighth brother well, she is raised here, she is closer to you than other brothers, you love your brother more, and Huang Ama will be happy." ”

These words can be said, but Concubine Hui's expectations for the future, as well as her true purpose of raising the eighth elder brother, cannot be easily said to her son, the child is open-mouthed, and if he accidentally reveals it one day, his expectations will become a disaster. Concubine Hui is very good at everything, but a person like her in the city government gave birth to a straight son, who is too straight and easy to offend people and be bullied, so she has to take good care of her son.

Wen Guifei's miscarriage made the six palaces restless, and for the matter of the eighth elder brother, the six palaces did not stop after the Lantern Festival, until the eighth elder brother entered the Changchun Palace, and Wen Guifei began to "treat hysteria", and the harem finally calmed down, but in a few days the emperor will go to Jingshan to fast, and then set off directly from there to tour the east, and the days of staying in the palace are getting fewer and fewer, and the women are finally relieved, what really matters.

What is surprising is that I thought that the emperor would accompany Concubine De more, but because the imperial doctor said that Concubine De should recuperate, the emperor never set foot in Yonghe Palace again, outside the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Yi never thought that the emperor would think of her at this time.

It seems that as Concubine Hui said, others can't serve her, the emperor will always think of her, and Concubine Hui taught her a lot of boudoir skills, in order to calculate for a long time, Concubine Yi doesn't care what the emperor is coming for, she just wants to serve people well, Xuan Ye saw that she was well-behaved and docile, and she was a person who she didn't hate very much and wanted to use it to balance the six palaces, so she made Concubine Yi even more happy, and gradually put down everything before.

In the blink of an eye, it was early February, the sixth elder brother's second birthday because Concubine De wanted to have a baby, and it was simply spent in Cining Palace, and on the first birthday of the eighth elder brother, Concubine Hui put up a banquet to invite the sisters of the sixth palace to come together, which can be regarded as officially congratulating her on having a son.

The holy car left the palace, and the emperor could be found in Jingshan if there was something in February, but he could not leave Beijing in March, and he couldn't take care of anything, and the queen mother had to call the six palaces to admonish, so that they must wait for the holy car to return to Luan.

After the Ningshou Palace was dispersed, Concubine Rong and a few concubines came to Yonghe Palace to see Lan Qi, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, according to her own words, the fetus was very comforting, but the imperial doctor was cautious and cautious, and still didn't let her get out of bed and walk around. ”

Lan Qi just smiled and touched her stomach and said, "Why do you say it's a little brother, I want a girl." ”

The sisters accompanied her to laugh, saying that she was afraid that she would be tired for a long time and dispersed, she didn't feel anything quietly, but after the excitement, it was inevitable that there would be a little desolate, Lan Qi was actually not very emotionally stable during pregnancy, but she was not as tossed as Wen Guifei, and Wen Guifei and the eighth elder brother and Juechan's experience, she had heard it like a drama before, and there was nothing more important to her than a safe fetus at the moment.

Today, the emperor left the palace, and the concubines of the six palaces all went to see each other, and Huanchun and several people had been looking forward to the emperor leaving the palace to come to see her master, but they waited until the holy car left the palace, and they didn't see the emperor's figure, but Lan Qi didn't care about it, they wanted to comfort them, and they didn't know what to say.

It was almost dark at this time, and Lan Qi was coaxing Yinzuo to eat, but when she saw Xiangyue running in happily, she put down the box in her hand and said, "Master, it was sent by the emperor from Jingshan." ”

Lan Qi was a little surprised, opened the box and saw that it was not unusual to see that there was a box of candy inside, and asked Xiangyue, saying that the person who sent the thing didn't ask anything, and there was no note in the box, what did you do with a box of candy for no reason? Huan Chun said more vigilantly: "Don't do nothing, this sugar still has to be seen by the imperial doctor, what if it is a bad thing?" ”
