405 Family Fun (and updates.)
Hearing Zen say these words, Lan Qi couldn't help but look out, as if she was worried that the wall had ears, she didn't know when she had this alert instinct, and when she realized it, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
"I'm going to give birth in the first month, no matter what happens to the Empress Dowager before or after that, it won't be my turn to intervene." Lan Qi lowered her head and gently stroked her bulging belly, and whispered, "I hope I can let the Empress Dowager take a look at this child." ”
Jue Chan saw that Concubine De was full of sadness, and understood the deep relationship between Concubine De and the Empress Dowager, but other people really did not feel so emotional, such as herself, the Empress Dowager was just a high-ranking royal elder in Cining Palace to her, and it was an existence that she could not look at directly and could not approach, and it had no practical meaning for her. If she wants to grieve the death of an old man who has no feelings, pretend to be or be infected by the sad atmosphere, once she jumps out of this, she is left to calmly look at what is about to happen.
She said cautiously: "It's best if you don't want to do it yourself, but it's hard to prevent someone from rushing to get you involved, the Empress Dowager's affairs are three or two days, and please be careful about everything." ”
Lan Qi knew that Juechan was well-intentioned, but while accepting it with all her heart, she really couldn't listen to such words, and she didn't want to live up to the fact that she had been listening calmly, and only waited for Juechan nobles to leave, and then said to Huanchun with tears: "Why is everyone calculating these things, the Empress Dowager is fine, why can't they wait?" Even myself, since Changchun Garden, has been planning for the future......"
These are sad words, no matter how strong and calm people are, once they collapse in private, in addition to completely venting their feelings, no one can persuade them, these days the master will cry from time to time, Huanchun silently guarded, knowing that she would become calm and calm when she went out, and did not worry that she would fall into sadness and could not extricate herself. But after all, the Empress Dowager is still there now, and no one knows what will happen after she really leaves.
Originally, Huanchun was not good at coaxing, and there was an emperor to rely on, but now no one is sadder than this Ninety-Five Emperor, even the master of her family may not be as good as her. But he is a man, an emperor, and he shoulders his family and country, he can't vent his emotions at will like Lan Qi, but day after day, the aura around him is already reminiscent of the situation when Empress Hesheri died in the past.
This day dispersed the matter of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not have time to change clothes, and could not wait to prepare a warm sedan chair, wearing court clothes and walking to the emperor's grandmother, when approaching the Cining Palace, he saw the figure of several children in front of the door shaking, followed by Gonggong Li was not surprised to see it, and someone quickly stepped forward, the children over there were also startled, standing in a row and waiting on the side of the road, when the emperor approached, it was really the brothers who saw the kung fu should be studying in the study at this time.
The third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother, there were only a few little eunuchs around him, and none of the people who were supposed to follow were gone, there was no doubt that they had sneaked out of the study.
"Where's Yinyu?" The emperor's face was gloomy, counting the children, not counting Yinhe and the prince, except for the seventh elder brother.
"Hui, Huihuang Ama, the seventh brother has a fever today and didn't come to the study." The third elder brother responded tremblingly, he was the eldest among the four children, and if something really happened, he would be punished first. However, some responsible brothers, although they were afraid of their father's reprimand, still rushed to the front to answer.
Xuan Ye was not as angry as the children imagined, these boys came to the door of Cining Palace to dangle, in addition to wanting to go in to see the great grandmother, what other thoughts could he have, he was very comforted in his heart, and at this moment he heard that the seventh elder brother had a fever, but he didn't know it at all, and he couldn't help but add a little guilt as a father, and his face was not good-looking for a while, but it scared the children.
"Huang Ama, we want to go and say hello to our great-grandmother." The youngest eighth elder brother spoke gently, not as if he was not afraid of his father's majesty, looked at him with longing eyes, and said reverently, "Amma, we have done our homework in the study today. ”
The fifth elder brother pulled his younger brother and told him not to make a sound, but he couldn't stop the fourth elder brother next to him from continuing to speak, compared to the eighth elder brother, who was a few years older, looked serious, with the posture that Ama you have to give us to visit the great-grandmother, and said to his father seriously: "Huang Ama, we all want to see the great-grandmother, we can't concentrate on studying these days, and we hope that Ama will be successful." ”
The children's different personalities were revealed in a few words, perhaps moved by their filial piety at the moment, so that the father could look pleasing to the eye, and the expression on his face was naturally relieved when he was in a good mood, and when he saw that their noses were red from the cold, he raised his hand and said, "Go in, don't quarrel with the great grandmother." ”
The third elder brother was very happy, and he was about to run inside, but he was dragged back by Yinzhen, and the four of them saluted their father together, and then quietly walked in one by one, Gonggong Li saw that the emperor's face was good-looking, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but just about to enter the door, he heard the emperor ask him: "What about the prince?" ”
Gonggong Li was nervous in vain, and now the prince's words and deeds are under his control and the emperor's control, and he can't guarantee that the emperor's other people will not tell the truth, so he can only answer truthfully: "His Royal Highness the prince, he is still studying in Yuqing Palace." ”
"Did he ever say that he would come to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager?" Xuan Ye had no expression on his face, and said very flatly, "A few days ago, I asked him to come to Cining Palace more often. ”
Gonggong Li only felt that his body was heavy, did he have to start with a few words in his mouth and break the crack between father and son little by little?
"Is there any?"
When Gonggong Li was stunned, the emperor asked again, and the old man hurriedly replied: "The slave has never heard such words, but it is ...... I heard the prince say that he should wholeheartedly prepare for the lecture at the beginning of the first month. ”
After saying this, the emperor entered the door like a gust of wind, and did not say anything, but made Gonggong Li stunned for a long time, and waited for him to follow, but bumped into the emperor standing under the corridor next to the door and did not move.
Crossing the emperor's body, I saw in front of the queen mother's dormitory in the distance, the pot-bellied Concubine De Niangniang was talking to several elder brothers with a smile, her words were friendly and gentle, and she also grabbed the eighth elder brother's hand to warm him. After a while, the curtain in front of the door was raised, and it seemed that the inside was ready, and Concubine De led the four children into quietly.
Gonggong Li secretly glanced up at the emperor, the emperor's moist eyes made him panic in his heart, a door, what he said just now, the scene he saw at the moment inside, it was really two worlds.
The emperor's shoulders rose and fell slightly, and he seemed to sigh a long sigh, and then instructed Gonggong Li: "Send someone to Yuqing Palace, please come over with the prince, the brothers are here, and the empress dowager is even happier." The eldest brother is not in the palace today, you pass a word by the way, and let him bring Fujin into the palace tomorrow. After a pause, he even said, "If his Fujin is not well, he will take a sedan chair to pick it up." ”
In addition to saying yes, Gonggong Li didn't dare to say anything superfluous, the emperor was obviously angry, and he also knew that the eldest brother Fujin had always avoided entering the palace, and since the emperor reprimanded the eldest brother in Changchun Garden last time, even the emperor's eldest daughter-in-law was gone.
After that, the emperor entered his grandmother's dormitory, and a few children coaxed the empress dowager to be happy, the old man had no strength to speak, but she was not in a hurry at all, and looked at the children with a comfortable smile.
When the prince came from Yuqing Palace, he heard the endorsement of the eighth elder brother outside the door, the eighth elder brother is very smart, and everyone said that he was smarter than the prince of the same age back then, Yinren raised his eyebrows and settled down, and slowly entered the door. When several children saw their elder brother coming, they saluted respectfully, and the younger brothers had long been accustomed to the difference between the prince and the prince, but for some reason, Xuan Ye was inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw it in his eyes today.
Yinren went to the Empress Dowager, the old man asked a few words, the prince was polite, and like his younger brothers, he coaxed his grandmother to let her live and recuperate, and the Empress Dowager looked very happy, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
But I don't know if Lan Qi has something else in her heart, or if the atmosphere in the dormitory is really taking a turn for the worse now, why does she feel that from the moment the prince enters the door, Fang Cai's family happiness has dissipated?
"Grandmother wants to rest, you all go back." The emperor said that his sons would leave, but he also instructed the crown prince, "Yinren, the Queen Mother is not feeling well today, you take your younger brothers to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, go early and return early, don't hinder the Queen Mother from resting." ”
All the elder brothers agreed and went out with the prince, as soon as the children left, the lively room suddenly became a lot quieter, Lan Qi even felt a little cold, and walked to the door to ask someone to add a pot of charcoal, but the queen mother told her that she wanted to drink date tea.
Lan Qi took Huanchun to serve the tea, and when she came back from the tea, she only heard the old voice of the Empress Dowager say: "Xuan Ye, the prince is the prince after all." ”
Both of them were aware of Lan Qi's movement in the door, I don't know if it was deliberately ended in the conversation, or if it was just the end of the sentence just now, they didn't see any embarrassment to each other, Xuan Ye took the date tea and fed it to his grandmother a few sips, and the old man said with a smile: "It's sweet, it's been this taste for more than ten years." ”
Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi approvingly, and said to her grandmother: "She is very attentive, she knows that you remember the taste of this tea, and it doesn't matter how much you eat and wear on the side, but the dates and honey that come to make tea every year can't be wrong at all." Only in this matter, I pestered my grandson several times, and no matter how good the dates were for her, she couldn't make it, saying that the taste was wrong. ”
Lan Qi sat down beside the Empress Dowager with a smile, wiped the tea from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said delicately: "Look at the emperor, the concubine has remembered how many baskets of dates she wants for so long, do you say that the concubine dares to ask for something else?" ”
The Empress Dowager smiled happily, as if she was tired, and after a long break, she took a breath and said, "Your business, bit by bit, which one of his things does not take to heart?" ”
