Mama was already dying, but she seemed to be conscious and understood the matter, she grabbed Lan Qi's hand and never let go, and when the emperor came in the night, she shook Xuan Ye's hand and didn't let go, she made a sound, but she couldn't spit out a word for a long time, I don't know how long it took, Mama suddenly had clear eyes, opened her old eyes, and looked at the emperor and Lan Qi lovingly as before, with a warm smile on her lips.

Xuan Ye called Mama, Mama seemed to answer, but after that, her eyes gradually dimmed, when her eyes closed slightly, Lan Qi and Xuan Ye felt the power in their hands disappear at the same time, Mama's hand no longer held them tightly, as soon as Xuan Ye let go, Mama's hand fell softly on the side of the bed, and there was no life.

Lan Qi said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Mama is gone." ”

Xuan Ye nodded, put Mama's hand back on the side of the bed, covered her with the quilt, and after staring at Mama's face for a long time, he took the silk handkerchief in Lan Qi's hand and covered her face, he asked, "Do you know what Mama said in the end?" ”

Lan Qi couldn't cry anymore, only shook her head, Xuan Ye took her into his arms, and said with a firm expression: "She hopes that I will guard the Qing Dynasty well, and I hope I will guard you well." ”

This sentence will be mentioned again in the future when the mood is calm, Lan Qi laughed at Xuan Ye at that time, and he could think about coaxing people, but Xuan Ye said that the love between Mama and Lan Qi was extraordinary, and Mama must have blessed her when she was dying, and Lan Qi's happiness was in her own hands, except for herself, who could protect her well.

These words are naturally heartwarming, but the sadness of Mama's death will not fade away after a while, although Mama has long been unable to serve over the years, she is just a person who still breathes her breath and lives in the corner of the palace, but for Lan Qi Xuanye, after all, it is a comfort and sustenance in her heart, after Mama passed away, they also followed the last thought of the Empress Dowager.

Mama Su Mala has made great contributions because of her hard work, and Xuan Ye has always treated her as an elder when she was born, and naturally she will not be neglected after her death. Mama, a lifelong slave person, died at the age of ninety, was buried by the courtesy of the emperor's harem concubines, and the twelve elder brothers who were nurtured by Mama presided over the funeral, and in the late autumn of October, Mama and the Empress Dowager were buried together.

The snow came very early at the beginning of this year, and soon after the burial of Mama, the capital fluttered snowflakes, but the first snow could not be accumulated, and it melted when it landed, and the whole palace was wet and cold, so that people could not lift their spirits.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was in a hurry to send charcoal to the palaces in advance, and the elder brother gave birth to a little elder brother in September after the completion of the Yan family due to the fourteenth blessing, and the baby was just full-term, and he could not withstand the change of weather. I don't know which of the brainy things in it actually made a mistake in the distribution of things, and the red basket of charcoal in Yuqing Palace was missing, but the princess's county lord was catching a cold.

The red basket charcoal smoke is less, not much every year, the palaces look at it, most of the ladies are used to put it in the hand stove, and the charcoal basin in the warm house is made of black charcoal, and now the little county lord in the Yuqing Palace has a cold and cough, naturally can not withstand the black charcoal smoke, and the house is burning with red charcoal in a basin, and the palace maid at the bottom can't help but mention to the princess: "This year I give very little, the mother uses it like this, and in winter, you can only use hot water to make the soup woman, how can the black charcoal be used in the hand stove?" ”

The crown princess was not anxious at that time, but just asked her subordinates to go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask why there was a lack of Yuqing Palace, even if the prince had been in a bad situation in recent years, the palace never dared to shorten the supply of the prince. But this time when I asked the Internal Affairs Office, it was the minions over there who made a fuss, and in the end it was known to the six palaces, and the Internal Affairs Office first gave the fourteenth Fujin and the little brother who gave birth, and Yuqing Palace was negligent. Although it was immediately made up, and the eunuch who did the work was also punished, the rumors in the palace could not be stopped.

Come to think of it, although there were also elder brothers who lived in the palace temporarily after marriage, but sooner or later they would move out, although the fourteenth elder brother has not lived for a long time now, but he has given birth to two royal grandchildren, so he still stays in the palace, looking like the prince, and enjoying almost the same treatment, everyone will find it strange.

Hongchun is now raised in Yonghe Palace, and when the gossip came on this day, Lan Qi was feeding her little grandson, while Huanchun went to Brother's house to pack up Mama's relics with a few other palace maids who came out of Mama's hands, and she happened to be not in front of her. Lan Qi then instructed Lu Zhu to bring a message to Huanchun, asking her to go and talk to Wan Yan, and ask her to go to Yuqing Palace in person, although it was not their fault, but they were humble, respect the crown prince and princess well, and don't be honest.

In her opinion, the crown princess may not be so stingy, most of them are people outside chewing their tongues, and now they understand more and more that the mouth of Youyou can't be blocked, ignoring them, and responding to all changes with the same is the right way.

In the elder brother's office, after Huanchun received some things in front of his grandmother, he went to the house of the Fourteenth Fujin, and Wanyan heard that Eniang wanted her to go to Yuqing Palace to apologize, and said in a loud voice: "I originally planned to do the same, but I was afraid that Yinyu would not agree." Although he respects the prince, he refuses to be wronged, this matter is not our fault, if I go to show weakness and ask for peace, he may turn against me. ”

Huanchun accompanied the smile, after seeing the Yan's dressing, she went to Yuqing Palace, she was inconvenient to follow, and when Fujin entered the door of Yuqing Palace, she went to Yonghe Palace the same way, and suddenly heard Luzhu beside her and said: "Sister, look, the eighth elder brother is talking to Baoyun." ”

Huanchun looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw the eighth elder brother standing on the side of the road and talking to Baoyun, today Baoyun was allowed to enter the palace to clean up Mama's relics together, several of them are people who are trained by Mama, Tong Guifei's grace, and give them the things left by Mama, so as to make a thought, Baoyun used to be a person from Cining Palace, and was also allowed to come to mourn Mama.

Lu Zhu said softly: "It's still strange to think about it now, why did the eighth elder brother send the Baoyun who brought him up to the seventh elder brother's mansion. ”

Huanchun had some bottom in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say, so he only urged Lu Zhu, "Let's go." ”

On this side, the eighth elder brother and Baoyun were talking, and the eighth elder brother said that Su Mala's grandmother was gone, and Baoyun was completely free, and he originally wanted to take Baoyun back to the house, but at the moment he explained: "One is that you are used to it in the seventh brother's mansion, and the seventh sister-in-law is gentle and easy to get along with." It's not very peaceful in my house, Fujin thinks a little crazy about the child, I'm afraid she won't treat you well. In the future, you continue to stay in the Seventh Brother's Mansion, and I will take care of you anyway. ”

Of course, Baoyun has no objection, since he left the palace and went to the Qibeile Mansion, he no longer has to be devastated by Concubine Hui, Baoyun has been blessed for so many years, he has a good complexion and a good mood, the only thing he is worried about is that the eighth elder brother has never had an heir, and when he talks today, he can't help but persuade the eighth elder brother to let go, although the relationship with Fujin is important, but there are more concubines, and there are more opportunities to have children.

Yin Yu coped with it, and did not say anything deeper, and it was inconvenient for them to stand and talk in the palace for a long time, and they soon dispersed.

Huanchun and Luzhu have returned to Yonghe Palace, Huanchun showed Lan Qi the relics of her grandmother she received, Lan Qi sighed for a while, and heard her say that her daughter-in-law had gone to Yuqing Palace to apologize to the crown princess, and said with relief: "The fourteenth family is a sensible child, and if you live in the royal family, you must be able to bend and stretch." ”

Lu Zhu mentioned that Eighth Elder Brother and Baoyun were talking on the side of the road, and Huanchun instructed her: "Don't talk to others for a while, it has nothing to do with us." But turning around and mentioning it to Niangniang, Lan Qi said, "Eighth Elder Brother is also a person who values affection and righteousness, he was originally a good boy, how could he be involved in those troubles, if Bafujin was not for Guo Luo Luo, his situation must be different, and now, I only have the hatred of crushing their bones and scattering ashes." ”

This night, there was news in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was going to leave Beijing in November, although Gao promised to serve in the Qianqing Palace at night, but the wife of the head of Liang came to ask Concubine De if she was willing to go with the emperor, Lan Qi asked what to do so anxiously waiting for her to reply, the head of Liang estimated and said: "If the mother is with the Hu, I am afraid that the brothers who follow the Hu will change." ”

When the news spread outside the palace, all the elder brothers had different reactions, and in the Babeile Mansion, Fu Jin came to visit her husband in the study with supper, mentioned the emperor's tomb, and muttered: "Huang Ama hasn't taken you out for a long time, do you want me to mention it to Eniang and let Huang Ama take you out for a walk?" ”

Yin Yu disagreed, and said: "I can't finish the things in my hands, who will watch if I leave Beijing." After thinking for a moment, he asked, "But you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Bafujin smiled faintly: "I'll follow you." ”

Yinxi stopped asking, and when he lowered his head and drank the soup, his wife said: "The fourteenth elder brother now even has a son-in-law, and he gave birth to two sons one after another, I heard that Hongchun was raised in Yonghe Palace." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing ......" Bafu Jin Yan couldn't help it, lowered his head and fiddled with the side dishes with chopsticks, but he couldn't help but say, "The fourteenth brother is smart and capable, and the emperor Ama likes him so much, and now even the emperor and grandson are so complete, you said that Yuqing Palace will change hands in the future, will Huang Ama not consider this son in his heart?" You and the fourteenth brother are so close. ”

"He's been close to me since I was a kid." Yin Yu coped, recently he was reluctant to discuss these things with his wife, killing Honghui was something he never wanted, and even always felt that his wife could turn around if he didn't kill Honghui at that time, but the matter has come to this, no matter how much it is useless, I hope that in the future, his wife can have as little to do with these as possible, and they can no longer advance and retreat together.

Bafujin was full of defense, frowned and said, "You are not afraid of Fourteen and you, are you trying to take advantage of you?" I think he thinks that the only one who can compete with him is the fourth elder brother, he can't fight with his fellow brother clearly, so he will help you to take the position, and kick you away at a critical moment in the future, you work hard, what is it? ”

Yin Xi understood these words, but he really didn't want to mention them to his wife again, put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, I should go to Zhang Gege's house, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Bafujin was stunned for a moment, and watched her husband walk in front of her, and the indifferent back of the refusal made her tremble.
