Everyone followed the prestige, and there was a little palace maid standing under the sun, looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old scene, dressed in the clothes of a low-level palace maid, Lan Qi felt familiar when she heard the voice, and the palace maid saw that the concubine Niangniang stopped, and hurriedly approached a few steps and curtsy, and Huanchun on the side had recognized it, and asked: "Aren't you the palace maid who played in the water last night, what is the matter with Niangniang at this time?" ”

The palace maid raised her head timidly, and saw that Lan Qi's gentle face was very happy, and there seemed to be admiration in her eyes, and then she held a purse in both hands and handed it over, and said a little nervously: "The slave and maid thank you for the grace of the concubine, if it weren't for the maid to speak for the slaves and maids last night, the slaves and maids would be miserable, this purse is embroidered by the slave maid herself, if the maid doesn't dislike it......"

"Huanchun, you bring it for me." Lan Qi didn't wait for the little palace maid to finish speaking, so she asked Huanchun to bring the purse, and then looked through it carefully, and praised it, "Very delicate craftsmanship, you are very capable at a young age, but you must follow Mama well in the future, don't be too playful, next time you get into trouble, no one will speak for you, but you will be punished." ”

The little palace maid was very clever, bowed her head and kowtowed and said that she remembered, and saw that the concubine Niangniang not only accepted the purse but also praised her good craftsmanship, and happily retreated to the side to wait for the concubine to go first, Lan Qi told her not to bask in the sun and suffer from heat stroke, so she took someone to the queen mother, and the purse also let Huanchun be put away, and said to go back and pack some wormwood with mosquito repellent.

When the Empress Dowager arrived, the concubines led the princess and her brothers to be there for a long time, it seemed that Rong Xian reprimanded Yinzhi for being ignorant and Yinqi for grabbing things, the Empress Dowager laughed and said that her great-granddaughter was too powerful, Rong Xian's future forehead must be afraid of guilt, the little girl was ashamed and coquettish, Yinzhi took the opportunity to laugh at her sister, and as a result, the sister and brother fought and rolled into a mess, and Rong Xian's face was actually cut by his younger brother with his fingernails.

In the afternoon, Xuan Ye came over to take a look, felt sorry for his daughter's face, and reprimanded Yinzhi fiercely, saying that how good is his man to do to women, and by the way, he called the eldest brother and the prince over, so that the two of them should teach their younger brother in the future.

It turned out that the children were having fun together, but when the Empress Dowager saw that Xuan Ye was angry, she felt that it was so boring, so she asked Duan Concubine to lead the children to disperse, and only Lan Qi stayed. Knowing that Xuan Ye hadn't had lunch yet, she went to bring chicken soup noodles, but she heard the Empress Dowager blame the emperor: "Reprimand the child don't say it in front of so many people, children also need to be face-saving, you can't be too used to feeling sorry for your daughter, Rong Xian is still a sister, it makes sense to do it with your younger brother?" This girl has been powerful since she was a child, and you should also be in control. ”

Xuan Ye only smiled: "They are all relying on the favor of their grandmother, and they are not willing to listen to my words." ”

Lan Qi put down the noodle soup and let the emperor eat first, and the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I can't discipline you now, there are such painful people around you." ”

Last night's charming lingering still felt on her body, Xuan Ye was sweet when she saw Lan Qi, looked at her with a smile, and gently shook the chopsticks when she took them from her hand, fortunately Lan Qi was not seen by the old man with her back to the Queen Mother, but she still glared at her shame and anxiety, and turned around to sit down next to the Queen Mother and play a fan.

"I heard that Nalan Rongruo came to Yingtai on an errand?" The Empress Dowager suddenly talked about it, and she didn't care that Lan Qi was by her side, and asked Xuan Ye, "Has he solved the matter with that woman?" It's really ridiculous, he really has the ability, let his mother beg the queen mother, why didn't he come to beg me? ”

Xuan Ye gulped down the noodles, he didn't care, drank two mouthfuls of soup and swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then responded to the emperor's grandmother: "The retainer will remind him, don't let her Eniang always go to the palace, don't be angry with the imperial grandmother, it is his Eniang who relies on herself to be the royal family and bothers the imperial Eniang without authorization, Rong Ruo has always been by my side with his ability, and he doesn't pay attention to his mother." ”

The Empress Dowager also knew, but the old man felt that it was so unfilial, and he also mentioned it: "I heard that he and Mingzhu have always been at odds, such an unfilial person, the emperor should pay attention to him." ”

Xuan Ye had swallowed a bowl of noodles in three or two, sweating profusely, the Empress Dowager pushed Lan Qi over to fan the emperor, the two looked at each other and were tender, Lan Qi quickly avoided it, just stood on the side and fanned him.

There was a palace maid who came to serve and rinse her mouth and wash her hands, Xuan Ye gradually collected his sweat, and then sat down beside his grandmother, and said with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, think about it, Mingzhu is my important minister, Rong Ruo is my capable minister, if the father and son are harmonious, it may not be a good thing for me, they are not harmonious and compete with each other, and the grandson is not afraid that their father and son will join forces and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition." Although it is unethical for father and son to be in harmony, I Zhenba hopes that they will not be reconciled. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and smiled contentedly, "My Xuanye can now be the Pope's grandmother." ”

Xuan Ye was in a very good mood, and said a lot of things with his grandmother, and now Yunnan has frequent good news, and the celebration banquet in July is imperative, and said that last night's lantern arrangement was made more brilliant under Rong Ruo's suggestion, so he invited the imperial grandmother to attend at that time, saying that she is the real mother of the Qing Dynasty.

The grandfather and grandson said happily, Lan Qi concentrated on playing a fan on the side, and said to her coldly: "Why do you just stand and giggle, what do you say to the imperial grandmother?" ”

Of course, Lan Qi didn't understand everything, knowing that Xuan Ye was bullying her again, she took the fan and sat down next to the Queen Mother, the old man was so happy that he told them to flirt elsewhere, and it just so happened that she was also lacking.

Xuan Ye said: "My grandson still has government affairs, come and see if you are leaving, the imperial grandmother should leave her, otherwise if it rains for a while, she will go into the rain again, you watch her for your grandson." ”

Lan Qi didn't dare to talk back, if the two of them were in private, she would have greeted the emperor with a car, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the queen mother, puffing out her cheeks and enduring it, and soon the emperor left, the queen mother was crooked on the couch, Lan Qi gave a fan, and beat her waist and legs, and the two of them had a sentence to say for a while.

Lan Qi wanted to coax the old man to fall asleep and go to the concubine to see the children, but the Empress Dowager just took a nap, woke up and remembered one thing, and saw that there was no irrelevant person in the house, so she said to Lan Qi: "If I don't like this Nalan Rong, he will still walk in the palace in the future, if I can't take care of it, you have to watch more for the emperor, the women in the harem will inevitably be disloyal and unfaithful, they don't love themselves and others can't care, but I can't allow anyone to embarrass the emperor." In the future, whenever such a thing happens, you must be ruthless, kill one and kill the other, and you must not tolerate it. ”

Lan Qi was shocked when she heard this, in the matter of the Jue Chan clan, she only briefly mentioned it to Su Mala, whether there was a tacit understanding between the mother and the queen mother, she didn't know, and she had never said half a word to the queen mother, no matter what the queen mother thought of her at this time, but the matter was entrusted to her, these words were obviously aimed at the Jue Chan family, although it refers to the entire harem, but to be honest, how many women dare to have different hearts?

"Scared?" The Empress Dowager smiled, "There are so many women in the emperor, where can I manage it?" It's normal to have one or two shameless people, it's just that others know about it, so Xuan Ye here, it's best not to have it, if there is, this is something that must not be tolerated, that is the face of your husband and your child Amma, you know? ”

Lan Qi nodded, and replied ruthlessly: "If there is a day when a concubine is in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, I must abide by your words, never tolerate it, and never let the palace make jokes that embarrass the Lord Banzai." ”

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied, and sighed slightly and said: "Then I will rest assured, it's really a pity that Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen are two, what's the use of having a noble background, nothing is worth entrusting." ”

In this way, Lan Qi didn't dare to answer, and it didn't take long for Su Mala to come back from a nap, so she took out to go to Duan Concubine to see the child, Yinzuo was put there these days, the little guy and his brothers and sisters had a good time, and tonight Xuan Ye didn't come, so she hugged her back to her house.

Who wants to enter the door but sees the nurse leading the fourth elder brother out of it, Yinzhen was full of disappointment, at first sight of his brother back, happily sprinkled the nurse's hand and ran over, threw Lanqi's knee, and waited for her brother to put down, took Yinzuo's hand and said: "Yinzhen wants to play with his brother, De Niangniang, live here tonight......"

The fourth elder brother can say a lot now, Lan Qi feels that he has grown up a lot every time she sees him, I don't know what kind of mind the concubine is teaching now, at least she has never seen the fourth elder brother have any inappropriate words and deeds. There are children who are naughty and coquettish, but in the past, Bu Gui and Hui Concubine said what they were arrogant and domineering, but they couldn't see it, thinking about the day when the concubine was going to kick him out of the palace because the fourth elder brother scratched the nurse's arm, she was going to kick him out of the palace to teach him a lesson, although the concubine's methods were a little out of tune, but she was really teaching the child with her heart, Lan Qi became more and more relieved.

"De Niangniang has been living here, the fourth elder brother is still the first time to come back, have you taken a nap? Look at the sweat all over the body, Yingtai is much more interesting than in the palace, isn't it? Lan Qi said, took a handkerchief to wipe her son's sweat, and Yinzhen's nurse on the side said, "The fourth elder brother and the concubine Niangniang had a quarrel all afternoon, and I wanted to see the sixth elder brother, and the concubine Niangniang asked the slave maid to send it over, saying that if you have a good time, it will be okay if you don't go back, please take care of the concubine Niangniang." ”

"You send someone to reply, and you say please rest assured, I will take care of it." Lan Qi is very happy, she can't imagine that she and the concubine were once incompatible with each other, and now they can have a little tacit understanding, the former concubine Tong with teeth and claws is really gone, although her temper is still not very good, and her temperament is still arrogant and domineering, but it seems that her heart has become soft with a child, and there is no longer a matter of torturing low-level concubines in the past, even if a few Mongolian Gege said that Juechan is the best looking in person last time, although she was displeased, she didn't take Juechan afterwards, if it was a few years earlier, Juechan must have suffered.

Yinzhen pulled Yinzuo to turn around and go to the house again, the little brother walked fast, dragging the clumsy younger brother behind, Yinzuo couldn't keep up, and fell down when he crossed the threshold, crying in fright. Yin Zhen stood on the side at a loss, and was about to cry, Lan Qi hurriedly coaxed and held the two children in her arms, feeling full of intuition.
