To this day, the crown princess will still be frightened when she recalls the situation that day, she thought that the emperor went to Kunning Palace, and would see the prince in strange clothes going crazy, and since then she has despaired of everything she has placed on this prince, Yuqing Palace will not have any future, and the door of Kunning Palace will not open to her.

But she never thought that the prince went to Kunning Palace to mourn Empress Niu Hulu, he went to Kunning Palace to win the emperor's mercy, in order to gain his father's trust again, the prince would actually work hard for his future.

"I wanted to take my time, to slowly regain the trust of Huang Amma." The crown prince stretched out his arms, wanting to wait for the crown princess to serve and dress, his tired face looked solemn, and sighed lightly, "But the emperor Ama scared me, and suddenly handed over everything to me. ”

The crown princess quickly put on a robe for her husband, carefully buttoned the buckle, and did not dare to let him have the slightest gaffe in front of the palace. Huang Ma Longma spirit, how can you really retire early, this time you are sick, I am afraid that when the imperial grandmother's birthday banquet is over, the burden on your shoulders will be lighter. When the time comes, you can do a few more decent things to make him proud, and let's take our time. ”

The prince snorted: "It would be nice to be as you said, but these days I don't even know what I've done, and maybe I haven't carried any burden on my shoulders at all." The boss's eyes, staring at me fiercely, and the group of dog minions behind him, were waiting to catch me. ”

The crown princess has dressed her husband neatly, and the palace maid finally put on boots for the prince, she brought him ginseng tea and asked him to take two sips, and patiently persuaded: "Huang Ama looks at people and conscience, as long as you do things sincerely, even if you do a big thing well, Huang Ama will be happy." ”

The wife is talking now, although she also persuades herself to grow up every word, but she is not more aggressive than at the beginning, to say that this huge Forbidden City, you can really find a trace of comfort in front of her, think about him now is not a person who no one cares about, maybe his life will really be better. After a while, the prince took the princess's hand and patted it gently, and said with a smile: "You also prepare, who knows if the old lady will be happy for a while, and will call you to meet the people in your hometown." ”

The crown princess was overjoyed, and personally sent the prince out of the door, and the little warmth was enough for her to be happy for a while, stopping in front of the door and looking at her husband's departing figure, with thousands of emotions in her heart, I only hope that the prince can get better and better, and she can really count on it in this life.

In Ningshou Palace, the emperor came from Yonghe Palace, naturally arrived earlier than the prince, and was joking with the queen mother. The Queen Mother has long been looking forward to it, although it has been rare to see a few times in the past few decades, the old people from the hometown have forgotten their appearance, and the newcomers have never seen them, but the hometown is the hometown, and the people who come are relatives, and the most gratifying thing about this birthday banquet is that the emperor picked up people from the grassland for her.

And when the prince came to answer, he found that the eldest sister Princess Chunxi actually came to Beijing with her husband's family to celebrate her birthday, the princess did not include her in the roster when she drafted the roster, and several other princesses who married far away also failed to return for various reasons, at first glance I saw the royal sister who was already in her thirties, remembering the old days, the sisters and brothers couldn't help but sigh that time was like a shuttle, and the prince followed the emperor in and out of the Qianqing Palace Yuqing Palace since he was a child, and the exchanges with the sisters were not as good as other brothers, Princess Chunxi was more respectful to the prince, or then saw the emperor Ama and met the imperial grandmother, It's just a little warmer.

In Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi heard that Princess Chunxi was coming, and urged Huanchun to go to Zhongcui Palace to report the good news and let Duan Concubine go to Cining Palace to take a look, and when she was busy changing clothes, she heard Huanchun say: "Our eldest princess is thirty years old, and the slave maid is full of thoughts, and it is still the princess's appearance when she was a child." ”

"Yes, the children are so old, can we not be old?" Lan Qi looked at herself in the mirror closely, afraid that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were not covered well, and she was afraid that the white hair would be exposed between her temples, these days Xuan Ye always troubled her, trying to find white hair in her hair, but she didn't see it after a few days, that person was looking forward to growing old with her, but Lan Qi didn't want her youth to pass too early.

The surprise of the princess's return made Concubine Duan full of comfort, she rushed to Ningshou Palace earlier than anyone else, but the Queen Mother and Chunxi were talking, and they couldn't allow their mother and daughter to be too close. The emperor was still considerate, and after dinner that day, he said that the princess had no one to live in the house in Beijing for a long time, so she stayed in the palace until she returned to Horqin after the birthday banquet. Concubine Duan took her daughter back to Zhongcui Palace, the age of the noble man was a lot younger than the princess, and when she came to meet, the atmosphere was really a little embarrassing.

Because it was not easy for the princess to come back, Lan Qi and a few people had seen each other in Ningshou Palace, and they didn't come with this to hinder their mother and daughter from getting together, but Concubine Rong had watched Chunxi grow up since she was a child, just like her mother, so she and Bu Guiren and others spoke in front of the eye door, Zhong Cui Palace was full of joy, and Concubine Rong and Bu Guiren naturally looked forward to when their daughter could return to Beijing.

As the night deepened, the guests dispersed, and the concubine wanted to sleep with her daughter, and when the daughter waited for her to wash, there was finally no one else there, and the concubine said: "There are still some days of the birthday banquet, after I asked the emperor for instructions these days, you leave the palace and go to Prince Gong's mansion, you Ama is not very good, sometimes good and sometimes bad, it is not a way." When your mother is gone, you can't come back and take a look, don't leave any regrets. ”

Chunxi is also a mother now, but she can better understand the feelings in it, for herself, the adoptive mother and biological mother are really no longer so important, and the adoptive mother's kindness to her is worthy of her lifelong repayment, but since her mother said so, as long as the emperor does not object, she should go to see her biological father.

Speaking of the things in the palace over the years, Chunxi sighed: "The prince has changed a lot, at first glance today, he can recognize his son, but his son didn't recognize him, but that dress made me know that it was the prince, and I really wanted to see other brothers and sisters." ”

Duan Concubine only sighed: "It's not easy for the prince." ”

Chunxi said: "I heard that it's not easy for brothers, so it's all an errand." And she had intimate contacts with the eldest brother, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother when she was a child, and she couldn't help laughing, "It's good to meet tomorrow." ”

"It's a pity that the brothers are not as good as before." Concubine Duan sighed again and persuaded her daughter, "It's rare for you to come back, just be happy to reunite with us, don't pay attention to anything else." ”

"It's really called Eniang to say it, on the way to Beijing, we met the victims of the famine, and when we came back, we knew that it was now the prince's prison, and I didn't dare to say anything." Chunxi looked nervous and said, "Your son-in-law is still calculating, do you want to tell the emperor." ”

At this moment, in Yonghe Palace, two Western oil paintings are stacked in Lan Qi's bedroom, the green forest in front of them blocks the spring light behind, but the painting behind is slightly larger, and the plump foreign woman on the painting shows her ankles, Lan Qi's eyes will move over from time to time, her heart is pounding, and her ears are listening carefully to the movement outside, waiting for Xuan Ye to return from Ningshou Palace.

Prompted by curiosity, she ran to the door to ask for movement, let the palace maids continue to stay outside, turned around by herself, carefully opened the painting in front of her, and looked at the white body behind under the candlelight, and when she saw the important place, she was still frightened and shrunk back, her cheeks were crimson and her mouth was: "Foreigners are too ridiculous." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was movement outside, and the emperor finally returned. She greeted the door, saw people coming in the dust, and when they met, they took her hand and entered the house together, and said: "I regret it when I see Chunxi, I should summon all the girls back, why should I worry so much, there is nothing more happy than a family reunion." ”

Saying this, he saw two paintings leaning against the wall, the one in front was the one he was going to give to Lan Qi, and naturally he also saw the one that was still stacked at the back, and he couldn't help but smile ambiguously at Lan Qi, and he was not in a hurry, but when he washed and changed his clothes and was lazy on the kang, he saw Lan Qi bringing ginseng tea, so he pointed to the wall and asked knowingly: "What is the one that is stacked behind it?" ”

Lan Qi knew that he was bad, and deliberately said: "The concubines don't know either, the emperor will take a look for himself?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled ambiguously, took her hand and said, "Let's go see it together?" ”

Lan Qi turned her face away and snorted angrily: "The concubine wants to know, if this is not sent to Yonghe Palace by mistake, where is the emperor going to put it, will he stay in the Qianqing Palace and enjoy it with his young sisters in the future?" ”

Xuan Ye got up and pulled her towards the painting, and asked with a smile, "What if that's the case?" ”

Lan Qi refused to move her body, and Xuan Ye said stubbornly that she had finished enjoying the painting at night, and put her hand around her waist dishonestly. And for Lan Qi, somehow, she was very entangled in her heart when she first stopped the brand, but recently she has become more and more open, not only a joke but also a physical contact, as long as she is with Xuan Ye in private, she dares to say and do anything, at this time she struggled to open her hand, turned her back to the emperor, and said: "What is there to see in the picture, where is there someone to look good......

Sure enough, there was a hot breath from the back of the neck to the body, and the body was hugged tightly, Xuan Ye said: "I drank the wine brought from the grassland today, and it was very strong. ”

As she spoke, her big hand unfastened the buckle under her neck, and her fingers slid into the gentle village without saying anything, Lan Qi's body was tight and she couldn't stand steadily, and she was powerless to resist with a coquettish voice, and it completely fell into Xuan Ye's palm.

When Lan Qi woke up the next morning, Xuan Ye was still sleeping soundly beside her, and when she was young, she always looked forward to the day when she could spend a morning with her husband peacefully. On the contrary, now that he is not young, the emperor is suddenly free, and he sleeps until three poles in the sun every day these days, and even has to be urged by Lan Qi to get up.

At this moment, the person next to him woke up, looked at her sleepily, whimpered in his throat, hugged her sideways, and pressed her heavily on her legs, but what he said was very sober, and told Lan Qi: "After the birthday banquet of the emperor's mother, I can't enjoy it like this anymore." ”
