Huanchun took the order and left, and soon Concubine Yi also left, Concubine Rong saw Lan Qi calmly distracted, and persuaded her: "If someone deliberately embarrasses you and me, it is natural to choose this node to make trouble, is there anything more appropriate than stabbing Lou Zi on the Queen Mother's birthday?" Don't be sad, we've passed five levels and six generals over the years, and if we go through this time, we can be regarded as a positive result. As for Concubine Yi......"

Lan Qi sighed: "I don't blame her, there must be people like her to make trouble, we can know some things, and it is not the first time that the Internal Affairs Office has made a living, they must be using serious money to lend money or invest in other livelihoods, and they were short of good concubines before, but now I think about it, it is an omen, but I didn't pay attention to the things in front of me." Now Concubine Yi is coming to make trouble, even if someone is talking about it the day after tomorrow, we have a way to deal with it, if it is said coldly at the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, we don't know if we ask three questions, then we are really blind, and what positive results can be cultivated. ”

Concubine Rong bowed: "The people's hearts are not ancient, and the people in the internal affairs office have changed one after another, and not all the servants are obedient." ”

Fortunately, Huanchun went out for a walk, and everywhere was fine, Concubine Yi was just exaggerating, in the end, they were all concubines in the palace, so they didn't expect to live with that little thing every month.

Huanchun carefully asked a few, calculated, the most is the summer things, as little as one or two months, everywhere is different, although it is a large amount, it is not so big that it scares people to death, so that the internal affairs government can't even take this point, it should be someone who has the audacity to make profits from it, see the concubines or dare not speak, once taste the sweetness, there is a second time, this * is getting bigger and bigger, naturally even the top ladies dare to calculate.

The most hateful thing is not that there is no lack of money, but to deal with those with low status, all under the pretext of Concubine Rong Niangniang and Concubine De Concubine Niangniang, saying that it is important to hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, and the monthly case should be temporarily stopped.

Concubine Rong listened and said: "After the day after tomorrow, if you pull out those beasts, you must beat them to death." ”

Huanchun said: "The slave and maid are brave, and when they meet someone who says this, the slave and maid will push the boat down the river." Otherwise, it will make people feel that there is chaos in the internal affairs office, and if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will not be good. But I'm also afraid that the masters will be unhappy, and if it's not appropriate, the slaves and maids will explain it later. ”

Lan Qi didn't blame, but said: "That's it, anyway, it's our fault for not taking care of those minions." ”

Concubine Rong asked: "After her birthday, how to talk about this, the Queen Mother will be unhappy after all." ”

Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor, what else haven't you experienced, now we are hiding it not for fear that the Queen Mother will be unhappy, don't let people outside see jokes." ”

After sunset that day, the people from the Tai Hospital came to relieve Concubine De's headache, Lan Qi suffered it silently, and the news came from Nanyuan in the middle of the middle that the fourteenth elder brother won the first place today, and he would offer a birthday peach to the Queen Mother the day after tomorrow, Lan Qi was finally happy. After the people from the Tai Hospital went, they said to Huanchun: "I always think about how to have a headache, I always feel that Concubine Rong can't get out of bed every time it's too exaggerated, and now I know that it's amazing, I hope I don't become sick, after the birthday banquet, I don't want to take care of things for a few months." ”

Huanchun wanted to make the master happy, and said with a smile: "You should be careful first, let's ask the imperial doctor again, the emperor will settle accounts with you." ”

Lan Qi felt a warm heart, and a little more smile appeared on her face, and she was disgusted: "I've never seen him so domineering, and he won't even let him get sick." He muttered worriedly, "The people over there in Nanyuan, do you know the warmth and cold?" ”

There is always no shortage of people to serve the emperor, and now that the brothers have grown up, they can take care of their father, and when they see their father drinking at night, they will come to persuade him to drink a few glasses, Xuan Ye only laughs and scolds: "I'm not old yet, you don't have to worry about it." "But after all, it's a happy thing, and the princes won't take it seriously.

At night, the emperor finally rested, and the elder brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and when they retreated from the palace, they used a little wine to say that the old nine and ten newlywed Yan'er, so that if you leave the family and don't go back, will you miss your daughter-in-law, and then disperse after a while.

But the eldest brother turned his back on someone and made a gloomy face, today the emperor Ama didn't care where the leopard came from, although he didn't know where it came from, but he knew that he could cheat, and he couldn't let himself go home empty-handed, and now that the prince has face, there is nothing good about him.

On the emperor's side, he drank two glasses of wine at night, and he was not drunk, but he was lazy and very tired, Liang Gonggong brought the medicine, and the eunuch who tasted the meal and the imperial doctor who accompanied him checked it before sending it to his mouth, Xuan Ye glared and did not want to move, Liang Gonggong smiled: "Niang Niang ordered, this patch must be taken on time, otherwise everything you eat in front will be wasted." ”

Xuan Ye glared at him and scolded: "Which one is your master?" "But I still poured the medicine down.

Liang Gonggong said again: "The slave heard that there is some trouble in the palace, but I am afraid that Niangniang is still waiting for you to turn back and call the shots for her, you are the backbone of Niangniang." ”

Xuan Ye gently tapped his forehead, and the people from the Tai Hospital saw that they wanted to come forward to serve, but they were persuaded to retire by Liang Gonggong, and he stood aside to tell the palace about the matter, and said: "It's just a legend at the moment, and I don't know what is going on, if it is really which elder brother borrowed money and didn't pay it back, Niangniang is only afraid that it will be difficult to do, and she can't let Niangniang go to the elder brother to ask for money, but it alarms you, and you can't help but be suspected of instigating the relationship between father and son." Rong Niangniang and Concubine De Niangniang are difficult to do inside and out. ”

Xuan Ye snorted coldly: "Earlier, later, this court and this country are going to make them hollow out." ”

Liang Gonggong advised: "Your Majesty, you are angry." ”

Xuan Ye said: "After the day after tomorrow, you send someone to find out with Niangniang, how much money you have lost, the idea is to make up for it first, put it in who borrowed the money and did not pay it back, as long as I know, there is no need to chase him, save this matter first, and save more and more in the future, when will I be impatient, and calculate the general account together." ”

Manager Liang agreed, and after returning to the palace the next day, the emperor rested in the Qianqing Palace, and Manager Liang personally came to Lan Qi to tell the emperor's meaning, Lan Qi also sighed: "Originally, Concubine Rong and I were not easy to do, and we couldn't go to ask Brother for money. Since the emperor meant this, we were relieved. ”

But when it comes to making trouble like this if it is really borrowed and not repaid, I don't know which elder brother is so bold, and the princes' lives today may not have reached such a stretched time, and they don't know what to do with the money.

After another night, it was finally the queen mother's birthday banquet, the palace ladies worked hard for more than half a year to organize the banquet, the banquet invited thousands of people, how much gold and silver was spent all day, until the fireworks celebrated at night bloomed smoothly over the Forbidden City, the queen mother happily accepted the courtiers again to bow and congratulate, the banquet was over, Lan Qi felt that her head was buzzing, her body seemed to be hollowed out, and finally sent the queen mother back to Ningshou Palace, the queen mother happily told her that Lan Qi's 60th birthday would be like this in the future, she didn't listen to half a sentence.

As soon as she returned to Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi fell, although she was not sick, but she had lasted for so long, she had to figure out how to spend it no matter how big or small, and the utensils and chopsticks used at today's banquet were all checked by her and Concubine Rong.

Xuan Ye heard in the Qianqing Palace that Concubine De had announced the imperial doctor, at that time it was the concubine who had just come over to prepare to serve, and when she stood in front of the door, she saw the emperor rushing out in a hurry, she didn't mind, and sat on the sedan chair outside the door to go back to Qixiang Palace, and when she got on the sedan chair, the prince and the princess happened to come over, and saw the beauty in the firelight from a long distance, and the prince muttered: "Which lady is this?" ”

When the crown princess wanted to take a closer look, the figure had already flashed into the sedan chair, and when the prince came over from the Qianqing Palace, someone greeted him and told him that the emperor had gone to Yonghe Palace, and the prince asked: "Which lady is coming?" ”

The little eunuch responded: "Go back to the prince, it's the concubine Niangniang who is here to serve, and I'm going back now, and the emperor probably won't come back." ”

Seeing her husband's strange expression, the crown princess couldn't help but say on the way back: "For the young concubines, the prince should be more evasive, not because I care about you, but because I am afraid that outsiders will make something out of nothing." ”

Yinren looked stunned, and muttered to himself for a while: "Why don't you look like it." ”

The crown princess didn't know what he was talking about, and then asked a few words but didn't respond, thinking that she was tired today, so she didn't ask again.

When Xuan Ye felt Yonghe Palace, Xiao Chen'er and Dun Ke were beside Eniang, one rubbed her arms and the other beat her legs, Xuan Ye praised her daughters for their filial piety, and Lan Qi was disgusted: "The concubine is being used, you have to come to make trouble." Xuan Ye sent her daughters away and said to her, "Why are you willing to ask them to serve you, I will be distressed." ”

Lan Qi was too lazy to move and didn't want to move, and didn't want to spend more time with him, but said seriously: "Sister Concubine Rong is also too tired, the emperor should not favor one over the other, if you really don't want to leave today, remember to go to condolences tomorrow." ”

Xuan Ye responded, kneading her indiscriminately, Lan Qi said in pain that her bones were going to break, and threw a pillow to ask him to lie on the side honestly, Xuan Ye smiled and asked her if she had any other wishes, she wanted to satisfy her with everything at this time, and people said with a smile: "Hurry up and remove that painting and put it in the house, the girls are running around for fear of being seen by them, and the sisters are coming to drink tea and sit down, I am also afraid that they will see, where is Yonghe Palace now?" ”

Xuan Ye just smiled, the tired man soon fell asleep in his arms, the emperor wanted to call the imperial doctor to ask about Concubine De's body, but Gonggong Liang sent another news, saying: "Your Majesty, the Internal Affairs Office just got the news, and the deficit of silver has been made up, but the few people who handled it are gone." ”
