Yi promised to be timid, and went back to his house after coming to say goodbye, Juezen nobles and Xianghe came out with lanterns, and sure enough, they saw a child sitting under the stairs in front of the door, she buried her face in her knees, and a figure in the black hole was there at night.

"Where are you kid?" The noble man of Juezen came over and asked, the child heard the movement and slowly raised his head, looking at the appearance of seven or eight years old, very slender, with a pointed melon seed face, and his facial features were obvious in the dim light, she was a beautiful little girl.

"I'm tired, I just want to sit for a while." The little girl did not get up to salute, but said to herself, "I can't find my way, and they didn't come to me, probably because they wanted to lose me, so that my aunt and uncle would have peace of mind." ”

Xianghe whispered in the ear of the noble Juezen: "Master, this child is weird. ”

The noble Juechan glared at her, guessing that she should be the child looking for by Ningshou Palace, so he said gently: "I will take you back to Ningshou Palace, it is very late Your family has probably left the palace, and the Queen Mother is very kind, and will probably stay in the palace for one night." ”

The girl looked up at Jue Chan, nodded after a moment, stood up neatly, and took Jue Chan's hand without hesitation and said, "Then let's go." ”

The palace is accustomed to seeing polite children, even if they are very naughty, there will always be no less politeness in front of people, it is very rare to see this, only seven or eight years old, the eyes are cold and frightening, if she is proud, but it seems to hide the light with a bit of restrained atmosphere, but Jue Chan thought about it later, but it was just a child, she must have thought too much about herself.

The big hand held the small hand and came to Ningshou Palace, Jue Chan felt that the girl around her was the most special she had ever seen, and it was different from the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace, and the children in the nobles of the clan were rarely like her, silent all the way, and the pride in her eyes was actually hiding her nervousness and fear.

The group arrived in front of the door of Ningshou Palace, but there were two children sitting on the shoulder, they seemed to see the noble Juezen here, and the shoulder stopped in a hurry, and saw the eighth elder brother running over alone, with a smile on his face and said: "The noble man of Juezen is auspicious." ”

Jue Chan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Eighth Elder Brother doesn't have to salute me. ”

The first ten elder brothers hurriedly followed, and when they saw the little girl next to the noble person of Juechan under the light, they suddenly let out an oh of enlightenment, pointed at her and said to their brother: "Starling, this is the girl that my sister-in-law is looking for, I remember, she is from King An's Mansion." ”

The girls outside the palace, seeing the elder brothers, should have saluted, but she stood there straight and did not move, because when she arrived at Ningshou Palace, she had already let go of the hand of the noble Juechan, and at this moment there were old grandmothers and palace maids in the door, while someone took care of the ten elder brothers, and on the other hand, someone surrounded her and said: "Miss is finally back, where have you been, Lao Fujin is very worried, they have left the palace at this time......"

In the babbling words, the two children were brought in, Juezen nobles and eight elder brothers seemed to be forgotten, the mother and son were speechless, and after a while, Jue Chan felt that he should go, so he turned around and heard the child say: "It's cold in autumn, you take care of your body." ”

Xianghe's face on the side was full of reluctance and regret, but her master went straight away, and he didn't bother to play the lantern, and soon disappeared into the night.

"Eighth elder brother, tenth elder brother has been delivered, let's go back, what's going on in the palace." The eunuch who followed Yinxi ran up to persuade the little master to go back, he didn't dare to show too many strange emotions in front of people, Chong Xianghe smiled and turned around and walked to the shoulder side, and was about to get up after sitting down, when he saw someone hurrying with a lantern, he shouted in front of the door of Ningshou Palace: "Tell the Queen Mother quickly, Dafu Jin is born, and the mother and daughter are safe." ”

Hearing "mother and daughter are safe", the eighth elder brother's face sank, he knew that the Changchun Palace was going to be gloomy for a while, and he sat sullenly on his shoulder and was about to go back, but when he looked up, he saw Xianghe standing there with a lantern and smiling at him, and his heart warmed for no reason, and the child smiled back, but the shoulder quickly turned around and left.

Seeing the eighth elder brother leaving, Xianghe calmed down, chased after the noble Juechan with a lantern, and ran out of breath and said: "Master, they said that Dafujin finally gave birth and gave birth to a daughter. ”

Jue Chan didn't say anything, and there was no movement all night, and Xianghe didn't dare to say much, so she could only go.

This night, even if it was late at night, the news of Da Fu Jin's successful delivery still spread all over the Sixth Palace, but she gave birth to two daughters in a row, even if she died nine times, no one thought about congratulating her or cherishing her hard work, only gloating sour words came to the young Fu Jin, and her first thought when she woke up in Changchun Palace was to go home.

But the mother-in-law quickly appeared in front of her with a straight face, and told her coldly: "The queen mother issued an order to keep you in the palace for confinement, premature birth is too hurtful, let the imperial doctor in the palace take care of it." ”

Da Fu Jin lowered his eyes and didn't look at his mother-in-law, and Concubine Hui sneered: "I don't have to see me, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, I won't eat you, I won't hurt you, I still expect you to give Yinhe a big fat boy." Don't worry, I won't keep you for too long, how can I live with Yinhe if I stay in the palace, and when you get well, I will send you back immediately. ”

The young woman bit her lip tightly, and when she saw her mother-in-law leaving, she suddenly said, "There are still concubines in the house, Eniang or Yinyu to point out a side Fujin?" I'm afraid that my son will disappoint you, and I won't be able to give birth to a son in this life. ”

Concubine Hui looked back, and the cold gaze that seemed to come from the Netherworld made Dafujin feel frightened, and only heard her say: "The talent of the concubine is the most expensive, and you are not unable to give birth, the imperial doctor said that you are in good health, I am very relieved." ”

At this time, Yan Zhu hurriedly entered the door, and Concubine Hui saw that she had something to say, so she left her daughter-in-law's house, stood under the eaves outside, and listened to Yan Zhu say: "Niangniang, I heard that Chengqian Palace has summoned the imperial doctor again, and the imperial concubine is afraid that it will be in the past two days." ”

Concubine Hui's heart jumped suddenly, holding the door of her heart for a long time, she sat down in the room and muttered: "As soon as she leaves, the fourth elder brother will not be as good as before, which is a good thing for me." ”

Yan Zhu also echoed on the side, and said: "Yesterday, Dafu Jin was originally leading the young lady of King An's Mansion to come to you to ask for peace, do you see the meaning of the Queen Mother and the old Fu Jin of the palace, do you want to point this young lady to our eldest brother?" ”

Concubine Hui frowned slightly, there were so many children in the clan, where did she remember who was who, so she asked which child was what age, I heard that it was Amma's orphan daughter, and snorted: "What kind of messy background, such a hard life when both parents died, is also worthy of the eldest brother?" But as she spoke, she suddenly remembered that she still had a child in the palace.

Yan Zhu also realized it, and said with a smile: "It's the same age as the eighth elder brother, that young lady's own family is a little bit down-and-out, in the end, she is the granddaughter of King An's mansion, if the queen mother really has that meaning, you can't refuse." ”

Concubine Hui rubbed her forehead and pondered carefully: "It's impossible to give the eldest brother, the eighth elder brother can still discuss, but it's too early to think about it now, how old is he?" They are in a hurry. "But after thinking about it, the Queen Mother and the Buddha-like person, who do not mix with things inside and outside the palace, do not advocate it, and suddenly have such a thought, maybe it is the emperor's idea behind the scenes, and there is no bottom in his heart for a while.

Prince An's Mansion has always been a pro-prince faction, and Ji Fujin is a member of the Hesheri family, and now the idea of using his granddaughter to beat her in Changchun Palace, whether it is the eldest brother or the eighth elder brother, is very awkward. Concubine Hui was not sure, and sent Yanzhu to deliver news outside the palace, it was necessary to consult with Mingzhu, even if Mingzhu Mansion was not as good as before, and the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, she could still rely on it. After that, it is time to deal with the congratulations of the palaces, after all, ridicule and ridicule are private matters, and the women's work on the face is never sloppy.

In the Chengqian Palace, the imperial doctor was summoned early in the morning, and now it has dispersed, and the people in the palace are used to it when they are startled, and the imperial concubine can rest after she is stable. At this moment, Lan Qi was entering a few mouthfuls of porridge in the side hall, and saw a palace maid holding a few huge things to the inner hall, she quickly rinsed her mouth and followed, and saw that the inside was spread out, and there was a guqin in the long baggage, and they set up the piano stand three or five times, gently placed the piano on it, and said to the imperial concubine on the couch: "Niangniang, the piano has been found." ”

Lan Qi's memory suddenly returned to many years ago, and she had unconsciously forgotten that the sound of the piano in the Chengqian Palace was so beautiful in the past, and she heard Yonghe Palace from Zhongcui Palace. In the past, I wanted to learn the piano when I accompanied the empress dowager to spend the summer in the garden, the empress dowager found a master to teach her, and when she finished her studies, she performed in front of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, she turned around and sank the piano, saying that she would never play the piano again, because playing the piano was something that only the concubine Tong Guifei in the palace could do.

She used to envy the imperial concubine for being able to play the piano, and for many years she envied the Juezen nobles for dressing up, but she never wanted to repeat these things in front of the emperor, ** and confidently guarded her love, only let Xuan Ye like the most original Wu Ya Lanqi.

For the imperial concubine, playing the piano was the thing she hated the most, that was because she deliberately learned to make the emperor happy, even if she could make the emperor happy at that moment, she would still resent, and the emperor liked the sound of the piano, not her. Xuan Ye even told her personally that if there was no sound of the piano in the Chengqian Palace, the people outside should be worried, and she should maintain the grace and dignity of the Chengqian Palace, and not let her grandfather's family worry.

That was probably the most hurtful thing she had ever heard, more hurtful than Xuan Ye's angry words when Concubine Wen framed her for poisoning the imperial heir, and her cousin never seemed to really like her cousin.

Fortunately, her sincere efforts in the following years have been rewarded, whether it is the love between men and women or the affection of cousins and sisters, counting the fourth elder brother, counting her status and grace over the years, the emperor has not been empty for her after all. After lingering on the sickbed, Xuan Ye not only did not dislike it at all, but also cared for her disappearing life bit by bit, as if she didn't want her to leave any regrets in the world.

"Do you know how to play the piano?" Seeing Lan Qi standing in front of the door, the imperial concubine smiled weakly and said, "I suddenly want to listen to the piano." ”
