Zhang promised to run out to see that it was Huanchun, and he was very happy, and Huanchun hurriedly stepped forward with the little palace maid to salute, saying that he would congratulate him, today is Princess Wen Ke's birthday. After leaving the palace maid to help Xiao Yu make the stove, she carried the food box into the house, and Lily of the Valley also came out, Huanchun saw that her face was pale and her lips were purple, and when she heard about Fang Cai, she sighed: "We fortunately found a courtyard with an open door, and roasted it by fire in it, otherwise these efforts will be frozen, but unfortunately the buns are cold, and when they make the stove well, they will take the pot and steam it through the water." ”

Zhang promised and said gratefully: "Niangniang actually remembers the princess's birthday. ”

Huanchun comforted her: "Niangniang's original intention is to raise the princess by another person, even if she sends it to the elder brother to ask Su Mala to take care of it, but the movement is too big, and Concubine Yi will inevitably make trouble, and because the emperor likes the little princess, Concubine Yi didn't dare to snub the princess." Niangniang, please rest assured, let's send someone to keep an eye on it, we can't wronged the princess. ”

Zhang promised and said: "See you today, it's very good, you go back and tell Niangniang, I don't have anything to worry about." ”

After chattering for a long time, she boiled water outside and boiled ginger soup and sent it in, and she didn't have time to make tea for Huanchun, so she drank a bowl of ginger soup together, and said with a smile that it was nothing, but she felt pity for them for all the inconvenience here.

After returning to Yonghe Palace and telling the master about Concubine Yi and other things, Huanchun said: "There is no small kitchen there, even if there is an empty room, usually you need to use hot water or want to heat a hot meal, you have to build a stove in the yard, and it takes a long time to get busy, which is inconvenient." Lily of the valley said that she used to be easy to deal with alone, but now she has to take care of Zhang Promise, and she is always wronged. ”

Lan Qi sighed that Concubine Yi was not giving up, and at the same time thinking about how to move Xing'er out of such a dilapidated place, she sighed even more: "There used to be too noble people living there, if you don't say it well, it will be a little troublesome, and that too noble person has lived all his life." ”

Huanchun thought about it and said with a smile: "It's better to take Zhang Promise to live in Changchun Garden for a while, I was originally a person who has been there, the emperor also turned over the promised sign a few days ago, I am not afraid that there is no reason to drive, the garden is much better than that side, and when I come back from the garden, I will find an excuse to say that I can't live there, and it will be easier to move to a better place." ”

Lan Qi let go of a matter of heart, and said, "This is easy, but it's just a matter of one sentence." ”

However, Huanchun also said: "You are always like this, when others are good to you, you have to repay you very much, sometimes the slave feels that you don't have to bother so much, you care too much about other people's eyes." ”

Lan Qi shook her head and smiled: "I want my conscience to be safe." ”

After this matter was decided, Lan Qi turned around and found an opportunity to say to Xuan Ye and even to Liang Gonggong, it is not strange to go to the garden to bring one more person, not to mention that although Zhang promised to be "driven to" that remote place by Empress Xiaoyi, the emperor has never forgotten her, and naturally the people in the palace are even more jealous and resentful, but the blame is only that they can't please the emperor and complain about others.

The days have entered the wax moon in a blink of an eye, and it is another year of quiet wax moon, Lan Qi is happy to be quiet and recuperate, but it is still inevitable that some will be sent to usher, and when the Yonghe Palace is too busy, Bu Guiren will come to help take care of Princess Brother.

Princess Duanjing didn't like to stick to her mother when she was older, and she didn't come, Bu Guiren coaxed the little ones to take a nap, and watched Lan Qi deal with the people of the Internal Affairs Office on the side, and stopped for a long time, she made tea and sent it to use with Lan Qi, seeing that she was tired, she smiled: "I can't remember what you used to look like when I watched you deal with those cunning old things just now, as if you were born so capable and shrewd." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "But my sister has never changed." ”

Bu Guiren touched his sideburns and joked cheerfully: "You haven't even seen your appearance old, have you?" ”

Lan Qi smiled and nodded, but Bu Guiren was disgusted: "The children have grown up, and I am in my thirties." Speaking of this, he whispered, "The day before yesterday, the emperor came to Zhongcui Palace for the first time, and we were all frightened, Long Live Lord talked to Sister Duan Concubine in the house for a while, and Dai Guiren and I both guessed that it should be for Princess Chunxi, this big girl who is looking at Ben Twenty, it is not a matter to keep it." I don't know where to get married, and my sister's face has been heavy in the past two days. ”

"The girl who has been raised for more than ten years, can you give it up?" Lan Qi sighed, "Although I am willing to stay until I am forty years old, I can delay the marriage and future of my children, and I am even more reluctant to go, and I am always in a dilemma as a mother." ”

Bu Guiren smiled with satisfaction: "I can take Duanjing by my side and watch her grow up, I am already satisfied, and I am not afraid of the day she gets married, I have thought about it in my heart." ”

Lan Qi praised her: "It's still my sister's relief." ”

But Bu Guiren looked at Lan Qi meaningfully, and Lan Qi was surprised for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "What about you?" In the end, what happened to the fourth elder brother, I know that you are sure of everything in your heart, but I look at my heart very hanging, boys are not better than girls, and they are more likely to hide their thoughts when they are older, you have always been very considerate and tolerant of children, why don't you coax the fourth elder brother, and don't let him come to greet you if you are so dignified. ”

Lan Qi showed a little seriousness at this time, not to blame her sister for being troublesome, but to say: "Sister also thinks that I should coax him?" I didn't let him come to greet me, but I didn't want him to sleep for half an hour in the morning just to see me, and I was afraid that he would get sick at night, and I wasn't considerate enough for him? ”

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Bu Guiren hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. ”

Lan Qi put down the tea bowl, obviously angry, naturally she didn't come to the noble Bu, and only said after calming down for a while: "Sister Bu, you don't coax Duanjing everywhere, when the girl is disobedient, you and Sister Duanfei will also teach you a lesson, right?" ”

Bu Guiren nodded, and listened to Lan Qi continue to say seriously: "I am his mother, not his daughter-in-law, not his slave, I used to be afraid of the queen's feelings, and I also thought that I felt guilty about the child, so I treated the mother-son relationship cautiously, but now I suddenly figured it out, he is my son, why should I be so cautious and careful, and even a little humble in front of him?" I should teach the truth that should be taught, and I should always look forward and worry about what I want to do for fear that he will hate me, and it is because of this that I speak to him a little differently than before, and he probably feels that something is wrong in his heart, and you all come to ask me why I am like this with my son, in fact, he has an opinion about me. ”

Seeing Lan Qi say this, Bu Guiren knew that she had been aggrieved for a long time, so he simply wanted her to let go of her arms and say it well, Lan Qi was also energetic, and her heart was happy, and she drank half a bowl of tea and continued: "Wen Xian is disobedient, I have beaten her, thirteen or fourteen I will still reprimand her with a red face, only for him, I am like offering to the Buddha, what kind of mother and son?" If this is destined not to last long, it is better to lose his feelings now, he will be self-reliant, and I will be quiet. ”

"Don't say anything like that." Bu Guiren was a little anxious.

"It's not that I'm ruthless." Lan Qi let out a long sigh, "Even if he really doesn't recognize me, I will protect him from bullying him for the rest of my life, but I don't want to work so hard as a mother and son, I have to be careful everywhere when I say a word to my son as a mother, what is that like?" It's been more than ten years, and I've had enough. ”

Bu Guiren still persuaded: "A hairy boy in his teens, don't think too smart about him, I know that you are wronged, but there are times when children can't turn around, you should be patient, no one cares about you now, just stiff like this, can it be better?" You have been wronged for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to talk to the fourth elder brother if you are wronged again. ”

Lan Qi's face softened a little, her fingers rubbed the pattern on the teacup, and muttered softly: "I know, I'm just throwing a tantrum at my sister, and I always understand in my heart that just because I'm a mother, I should be wronged." ”

Bu Guiren couldn't cry or laugh, and held his heart at the door and said, "You were so excited just now, it scared me. ”

"What else, he's my son after all." Lan Qi changed her shrewd and capable momentum when facing the group of treacherous and cunning minions of the Internal Affairs Office, and now she fell softly on the table and muttered, like a wronged daughter, "I have already thought about it, if he ignores me again, I will go to him, he is my son, only the children who don't want their fathers, and there are no parents who don't want children." ”

Bu Guiren breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You are destined to be mother and son, and your temper is the same, fortunately, you still understand that you are a mother." ”

The sisters talked about themselves, Lan Qi's heart was much happier, but in the next few days, Qinglian came to tell the fourth elder brother every day, the child was still worried, I don't know what he was worried about, and there was no unusual movement in the study, Lan Qi was very worried, and she couldn't find a good opportunity to talk to her son for a while, the more worried she was, the more anxious she became.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Yuan promised to give birth to a little princess, the mother and daughter were safe, and the palace finally added a happy event, the queen mother of Laba this day and enjoyed Laba porridge in Ningshou Palace, although it was not extravagant celebration, the palace was finally lively, the emperor meant that he also served the elder mother in the palace, and could not be too sad for the deceased, and forgot the filial piety to the queen mother, so that the palace people were more open, but everyone understood the proportion.

The brothers also got out of school an hour earlier this day, and went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the queen mother to receive the reward, the brothers ate porridge and each wanted to go back, the fourth elder brother took Xiao Hezi and a few people to walk back to Chengqian Palace, passing in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, he stopped slightly, Xiao Hezi smiled and came up and said: "Master, shall we go in?" ”

Yin Zhen shook his head: "Didn't Emperor Fang Cai's grandmother say that many aunts and uncles are in Yonghe Palace, what am I going to do, it's troublesome." He said that he would go to Chengqian Palace, and Xiao Hezi followed helplessly all the way, chattering for a long time to persuade him to go and ask for peace, but he was scolded impatiently by the little master, covering his mouth and not daring to speak.

Entering the door of the Chengqian Palace, the sudden coldness made Yinzhen's heart tremble, after the death of his adoptive mother, the manpower in the Chengqian Palace was reduced a lot, and he was still guarding filial piety for his adoptive mother, and the eunuch palace maid even spoke very quietly, let alone any laughter.

"Fourth Elder Brother, are you back?"

was going to the door, suddenly heard a clear and gentle girl's voice, so familiar "Fourth Elder Brother", Yinzhen followed the prestige, and there was a slim Yuxi standing under the corridor, and the bright and sweet smile on her face suddenly swept away many gloom in Chengqian Palace.
