Lan Qi motioned for the imperial doctor to step back for the time being, and said softly for a while: "People in the palace, but they all know that I am taking contraceptive medicine. ”

Huan Chun really forgot about this matter, but asked: "Niangniang's idea, is it hiding this matter?" ”

Lan Qi smiled: "I can hide it for a few months, and I can't hide it after my belly grows." The emperor is preparing to return to the palace after the autumn, and I will give birth at the beginning of the first month of the first month, and I don't know what will happen when I am in the palace after that. After all, it was me who drank the contraceptive pill with great fanfare, and now that I am pregnant with a child, it is clear that everything before is a show for them, and they originally suspected that I had tried my best to flatter the emperor. ”

"They're all idle." Lan Ying hummed impatiently, sat down on the side and said, "My life is not good, but it is better to look at others?" What are these people thinking in their heads? ”

Huanchun smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, when he heard the second lady say: "According to me, my sister is also worried, whether you take medicine or not is your own business, whether you have children or not has nothing to do with them, the more we don't care, the more anxious they are, what do they do?" ”

"No wonder the emperor always praises you, if I hadn't married you to Ah Ling, I would have been jealous." Lan Qi was relieved, signaled Huanchun to prepare clothes for her to go out, smiled and pulled her sister and said, "This time, my sister will listen to you, let's live our lives as usual, and we just understand everything in our hearts." ”

Lan Ying was triumphant: "I'm now the housewife, my sister is convinced, right?" ”

It's not as good as several other sisters in the palace working together, even if they have the same heart, there are always some diaphragms, but Lan Qi doesn't have these troubles, and now she wants Xuan Ye to marry her sister into the high gate, which also gives her the opportunity to enter and leave the palace from time to time, although it is also a good thing to really marry an innocent person, but her status is low, and it is always not convenient to enter and exit the palace, and sure enough, if Xuan Ye thinks about her, she must be thoughtful in everything.

The group rushed to Ningchun Hall, the Queen Mother was accompanying the Queen Mother to pick out jewelry, and when she saw Sister Lanqi, she smiled: "The Emperor said that it is rare for your sister to come, coax you to go back to Ruijingxuan for a day, and I will take out the jewelry to dry, if it falls in your eyes, I don't know which ones will change the master." You're really rich, and that's what happened again. ”

The Empress Dowager laughed, asked Lan Ying to sit down beside her, and asked them why they came over again, the sisters said that they would whisper for a while, Lan Ying smiled and said: "Come to say hello to you, the Empress Dowager hurry up and sit down." ”

"Daoxi?" The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager spoke in unison.

Lan Qi's cheeks were slightly red, although she was already the mother of several children, in the end, it was a private matter, and she was inevitably embarrassed in front of the elders, and laughed softly: "I just asked the imperial doctor to take a look, thanks to the blessing of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, God favors her, and the concubine is pregnant again." ”

There was silence in the room, and the Queen Mother immediately asked in surprise: "Haven't you been taking birth control pills?" ”

The Empress Dowager on the side was already full of joy, and smiled with her daughter-in-law: "That's a pretense of deception, she used to be pregnant with a child and made people drugged, Yinzuo is gone, you don't have to guess that she will want a son, in case those people worry about her." ”

The Queen Mother recited the Buddha and blamed Lan Qi: "What do you even hide from me, I am not worth it for you in my heart, think about the emperor and the mother don't talk about you, it's useless for me to mention it." Good boy, what are you doing with that thing when you are young, your blessing is behind. ”

Lan Qi smiled and said, "The concubine remembers, I will not hide it from you next time." ”

"Have pity on us Lan Ying." The Empress Dowager suddenly hugged Lan Ying and frowned to comfort her, "Seeing your sister, you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid, there are capable doctors in the palace, and I will definitely help you recuperate." ”

Lan Ying is happy by nature, where will she touch the scene, so she just smiled: "Should the Empress Dowager send someone to report the good news to the Lord of Long Live?" The emperor must be very happy. ”

This is indeed a serious matter, Su Mala Mama found a reliable person to go to the Changrui Mountain Palace, and invited several imperial doctors to ask Concubine De for pulse, the Empress Dowager asked a lot of words, knowing that Lan Qi was going to give birth in the first month of next year, and then sent Lan Qi back to rest early, the first few months were important, and she was not allowed to come to serve again.

It was late at night, and Mama Su Mala came to see if the Queen Mother was asleep, and while she was about to blow out the candles on the candlestick, she suddenly heard the Queen Mother call her: "Su Mala, is it you?" ”

"Master, it's a slave, you haven't fallen asleep yet?" Mama Su Mala lit the candle again, came over to set up the tent, and asked carefully, "Is it stuffy in the house?" ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Let the palace maids do the things in the night ahead, you are also old, it is time for others to serve you, take good care of your body." ”

"The slave is tough." Mama smiled, took a big pillow and lit it for the Queen Mother, so that it was more comfortable, and asked if it was uncomfortable.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "It's because my heart is not steady, I know that my body is day by day, and there are still some days." ”

Mama smiled and said: "It's all good now, why are you bothered, Concubine De is also happy again, the slave feels that this time, she can get a little brother." ”

"You said that you really got the little brother, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" The Empress Dowager sighed slightly, but waved her hand again and said, "That's it, I shouldn't worry too much, this is her own business for the rest of her life, and I can't see it, what to worry about." ”

"What are you worried about?" Mama Su Mala didn't understand.

The Empress Dowager's old eyes were full of worry, and in the dim candlelight, she couldn't see her courage when she was young, and she only saw the love of an elder for her children and grandchildren, and said solemnly: "If Yinren is not blessed with longevity, in the future, the seat of Yuqing Palace, these brothers will not have to fight for their heads?" I have explained all the blessings and Changning, but there are too many people, I can't tell them, and I always feel that there will be a day, how can I be sure. ”

Mama Su Mala listened quietly, and asked for a long time: "The master forgives the slave and the maid for being disrespectful, and asks more, if the prince is really not blessed in the future, can you and the emperor have someone in your heart?" ”

The Empress Dowager slowly closed her eyes, shook her head very slightly, and said softly: "The royal inheritance cannot be pinned on one person, otherwise, why do you need three palaces and six courts to open up branches and leaves for the royal family?" ”

That night, the elderly master and servant said a lot of words, but these words would not reach the ears of the third person, Ning Chuntang just spent the night quietly and peacefully, no one knew what they said, as for the royal inheritance, it was not allowed for ordinary people to talk about it.

The next day, because of the good news that Concubine De was pregnant, the garden was lively, and the concubines who came with her were all good friends with Yonghe Palace, and they all gathered in Ruijingxuan to visit her on this day, and the nobles of Juechan, who had never interacted with people, also came together rarely, and did not hide their affinity with Concubine De at all.

And the Forbidden City knew that Concubine De was pregnant earlier than Changrui Mountain Palace, and the surprise of the Sixth Palace was needless to say, even the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace was upset, after the news came, Qinglian went in and out of the dormitory several times, but the imperial concubine was in a daze all the time, until Xiao Hezi came back from the study, and asked the imperial concubine to take medicine on time for the master every day, she woke up and asked a few words.

Qinglian seized the opportunity to ask her master what was wrong, and the imperial concubine sneered: "I was thinking about how I bullied Concubine De in the past, what did I think at that time, Concubine De didn't do anything to me, but I hated her to the core, and tried every means to torture her." Look at everything now, I raised her son and prepared to rely on it for the rest of my life in the future, you said that the fourth elder brother is in front of me every day, is it equivalent to slapping me for his mother every day? ”

"If you say this, if the fourth elder brother hears it, how sad the fourth elder brother should be?" Qinglian hurriedly persuaded, "Niangniang, the past is over, think about it, there are so many elder brothers in the palace, which one loves your own mother like the fourth elder brother?" ”

The imperial concubine shook her body, tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried to laugh, but the tears fell when she grinned, she laughed at herself and raised her hand to wipe her tears, but she picked up the blood on the back of her hand, Qinglian exclaimed that the mother had a nosebleed, but the imperial concubine looked at the blood on the back of her hand in a daze.

Qinglian pressed the mother to ask her back not to move, and then she was about to call the palace maid outside to ask for a doctor, but the imperial concubine stopped her and said: "Don't make a fuss, it's just hot, you guys are making trouble, Yinzhen won't be able to sleep tonight, isn't it good?" ”

After that, the imperial concubine did not continue to bleed, changed her clothes and cleaned up, and instructed her subordinates not to startle the fourth elder brother, and to rest for a long time without seeing anything unusual, it seems that it was really because of the hot weather, and just bothered to think about those things that moved the heart, and it was even hotter.

But Qinglian was worried about the imperial concubine's body, and persuaded that the current medicine is always good and bad, and it is not effective, and it is time to ask Uncle Guo to find a better doctor to prescribe it, and it is not a way to always consume it tepidly.

The imperial concubine didn't care, and sneered: "Didn't they all say cruel things, I was fundamentally injured when I was young, and the most important thing is to recuperate." ”

Qinglian was silent, she also knew that Changchun Garden was a good place to go, it would be great if the imperial concubine could go there to recuperate, but she couldn't let go of the fourth elder brother, the emperor had to take her with her, the imperial concubine herself refused, but she could stay in the Forbidden City, when would she get a "quiet" word?

In the evening, the fourth elder brother returned from school, and when he came to greet Eniang, he noticed that her face was not good, and asked if she was uncomfortable, and saw Qinglian flickering a few words, and the smart children saw the clue at a glance, and asked what came out of their mouths, the imperial concubine couldn't cry and laugh, and said coquettishly with her son: "There are few people in this world who can manage your mother, but you can manage it, don't be angry, your mother is good." ”

The fourth elder brother stiffened his face, complaining that his mother didn't take good care of his body, not saying that he had an idea in his heart, and said a few words of appeasement on his face.

The letter of the fourth elder brother has not yet been sent out of the Forbidden City, in the palace of Changrui Mountain, he has received an urgent message from the capital, and Gonggong Li got good news and rushed to the emperor's side, and met the prince halfway, Yinren saw him full of spring breeze, and asked with a smile if there was a happy event in the court. ”

The prince's thick eyebrows trembled slightly, lowered his eyes and smiled, and walked away with a sigh.
