Concubine Hui shook her head: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, she is an idiot, no matter how I provoke her, she is not moved, and she keeps saying to Yi Concubine Guo Gui that I can't use her." That being the case, I was kind enough to give her a future, but instead I begged her in a low voice, why did I bother to come? Sister-in-law is still worried. ”

Speaking kung fu, Juezen agreed to come in, look at her in the New Year is not like the usual dress plain, the coral-colored palace dress is bright but not showy, the tender red color reveals a sense of freshness, she is the best at needlework kung fu, she changes a few times, there is a unique outstanding, and then there is a beautiful face that is enough to crown the crowd, I have to wonder why it is so obscure.

Mrs. Mingzhu was even more stunned, secretly reciting the Buddha in her heart, not blaming her son for thinking about this cousin, which man was not moved by such a woman, even if he was young at the time, there was always a place that made him tempted, and now if he sees him again, his wife and concubine in the family are compared, and I don't know if his soul is going to be hooked away again. She was full of thoughts about going home to discuss with her husband, and she couldn't give her son a chance to walk in the harem.

Thinking of these efforts, Jue Chan has made a big gift to Hui Concubine, Ying Ying stood in front of the two, the palace maid had already moved the stool, she sat shallowly, lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Concubine Hui glanced at Mrs. Mingzhu, she didn't speak, but her face said: Look, this is the virtue.

Mrs. Mingzhu motioned to Concubine Hui to avoid it, and let her talk to the Juechan clan by herself, and Concubine Hui gave way to the place, and went out to talk to other ladies who were playing elsewhere, leaving only one old and one young in the warm pavilion, Mrs. Mingzhu turned the words in her heart, and then said with a smile: "It's okay to promise to be in the palace?" Before entering the palace today, Rong Ruo also asked me to say hello and promise, and when I went out of the palace and returned home, I still had to tell him. ”

Jue Chan raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "I'm fine, I don't dare to worry about my son." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu said bluntly: "Although I understand this promise, but the longing in his heart, how can he be persuaded in one sentence, when you were not good in the palace a few years ago, he was also haggard, and now he is better." ”

"I'm fine." Jue Chan is still these three words, I don't know if I don't want to talk, or I don't have anything else to say, whether my heart is calm or overturned, I can't see it on my face at all.

"Juechan agreed, some words are not good, but since we are relatives, you and Rong Ruo are childhood sweethearts, so you don't care so much." Mrs. Mingzhu helped the hairpin on her hair bun, as if she was hiding some embarrassment, and seeing that Juechan was unmoved, she continued, "We don't understand the things in the court, but one thing is clear, the influence of the harem on the court cannot be underestimated. Listening to my lord say to Rong Ruo, in a few years, the prince and his brothers will grow up, and the forces in the court will also be clearly distinguished. Our Mingzhu Mansion and Hui Concubine Niangniang and the eldest brother have a constant relationship, since this is the case, of course, I look forward to Hui Concubine Niangniang and the eldest brother are good, but you have also seen that there are more and more concubines in the palace, the concubine Niangniang is tireless, and the concubine has a fourth elder brother, what will happen in the future is really immeasurable, in this way, the future of our family Rongruo ...... It's hard to estimate. ”

Mrs. Mingzhu didn't know whether she was thirsty, or wanted Juezen to think about it, so she took two sips of tea, but her eyes kept staring at her, and when she saw her expressionless, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, but she still endured it, put down the tea bowl and continued: "Hui Concubine Niangniang's hands are invincible to four fists, there must be someone who knows the root to help each other, Juechan promised you to be born so beautiful like a flower, if the emperor sees it, he must like it very much, if he can say a few words in front of the emperor in the future, he can help Hui Concubine Niangniang and the eldest brother, that is, help Rongruo." ”

"But Childe, he won't ask a woman to help." Jue Chan finally spoke, and smiled at Mrs. Mingzhu, her beautiful face was lined with such a smile, inexplicably revealing a bit of coldness and loneliness, I was afraid that no one would like it if she saw it, but she didn't realize it, and continued, "I am from a criminal background, I really don't dare to climb high and concubine Niangniang, let alone help each other, Mrs. has taken great pains to say it for so long, these words must disappoint you to the extreme, and I can only say I'm sorry." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu was originally a proud person, and it was rare to be willing to lower her eyebrows, but she was blocked back into her stomach by Juechan's concubine, so angry that her eyes were red, and she sneered: "No wonder Concubine Hui has such a good temperament, and you have been cleaned." ”

Jue Chan lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Speaking of which, I don't remember what kind of character I used to be, the deep palace is the most abrasive, and Madame just doesn't know." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu didn't want to tear her face, so she took a breath and said: "Please think about it, don't talk about Concubine Hui and Big Brother, just think about my family Rongruo, no matter whether he is willing to let women help him or not, do you have a heart that is not all in yourself?" ”

Jue Chan slowly left his seat, owing to leave behind him, leaving only a gentle sentence: "That lady has the right to let me not have this heart." ”

Mrs. Mingzhu was dumbfounded, watching her move out of the door silently, and sat stunned for a long time, just waiting for Concubine Hui to come back, and when she saw her like this, she knew that it didn't make sense, and she was quite a bit of a joke, and laughed: "Sister-in-law, why bother, she really doesn't eat meat, and she is ready to die in this palace for the rest of her life." You don't know yet, she has a very bad time in Yikun Palace, and she is still a concubine, but her sister Guo Guiren has a bad temper, and if she doesn't go well, she will be angry with her, and she will be beaten and scolded like a slave, so she can bear it, and I am convinced. ”

Mrs. Mingzhu cursed in a low voice: "You deserve it." ”

Juechan agreed to leave Hui Concubine's place, and a cold wind rushed in her face, which made her refreshed. It's too hot in the warm pavilion, so hot that my heart is going to be lost, I feel more energetic at this moment, I don't know why I was in a good mood after saying those words, so I took the palace maid's hand and went all the way back to Yikun Palace, but how could she know that today's road is destined to be different from before.

Halfway back the way, I met a group of people on the palace road, there were many people in the palace during the New Year's Festival, and the guards were more rigorous than usual, and Juechan also met a team of guards from afar on the way to the road, but I didn't expect to meet him, and at this moment Nalan Rongruo didn't expect to meet his cousin.

As soon as the guards all stood on the side and hung their heads without looking, waiting for Juechan to agree to walk over, the two passed by, she thought she would be sad, but she was unexpectedly very calm, as if she was relieved to see his aura and healthy spirit, and calmly walked over with the palace maid, until Rong Ruo's figure completely disappeared from her eyes.

"You guys, come here!" But suddenly, he heard the familiar voice of the palace maid, Juechan looked back, and sure enough, it was the palace maid beside Guo Guiren, who was saying to Rong Ruo and the others, "Guo Guiren's sedan chair is crooked, come and help." ”

Rong Ruo and a few people hurriedly followed, Juechan frowned slightly, and only heard the palace maid beside him say: "Before agreeing to go out, didn't Guo Guiren already go to the Empress Dowager first, saying that Cining Palace wanted to see the little princess, and it was estimated that he would come back at this time." ”

"Let's take a look, too." Jue Chan raised his feet and left, but the palace maid grabbed her and said, "Guo Guiren is not sure how to lose his temper, why do you bother?" ”

"Didn't her palace maid also see us just now, she would definitely tell Guo Guiren that if she knew that we were here and didn't come over, she would be even more angry." Jue Chan's mouth should be filled with this sentence, and his heart is actually worried about Rong Ruo. She kept saying to Mrs. Mingzhu that she didn't have that heart, but only she knew that she still had a heart in her bones and blood, and she could only tolerate him alone.

It's not that Mrs. Mingzhu and Concubine Hui's teasing is useless, but because I didn't see it, and when I saw it, everything was different.

Hurriedly followed, sure enough, I saw Guo Guiren's sedan chair crooked on the side of the road, there was a eunuch who fell and was falling on the road humming, there was no place to stay here before and after, Guo Guiren also hugged the princess in the sedan chair and sit, I heard that a guard was coming, so he ordered: "You send someone to get me another sedan chair, I and the princess are waiting here, but it can't be too long, the princess can't be frozen." ”

Rong Ruo took someone to look at the sedan chair, the sedan chair was not broken, it should be that the little eunuch had bad legs and feet, as long as there was one more person to carry the sedan chair, and there was no need to change the new sedan chair, so he instructed his subordinates to say: "You help carry Guo Guiren's sedan chair back to Yikun Palace." ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Guiren was angry: "The princess is sitting in the sedan chair, this sedan chair is clearly broken, and if you fall and break the princess, can you afford it?" ”

A palace maid reminded her: "Master, it's Lord Nalan outside." Guo Guiren asked impatiently, "What Lord Nalan?" ”

"Nalan Rongruo knocked to see Guo Guiren." Rong Ruo saluted.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of the Mingzhu family?" Guo Guiren also knew that he was not as arrogant as Fang Cai for a while, and said politely, "It's not me who embarrass Lord Nalan, the princess's daughter is precious, but I don't dare to make a mistake, but it's just to change to a sedan chair, is it so difficult?" ”

"The minister also has to inspect the customs with other guards, not to snub the nobles and princesses, leaving a guard to carry the sedan chair does not affect anything, but ......"

Rong Ruo didn't finish speaking, Guo Guiren lifted the sedan curtain, but before he saw Nalan Rongruo, he saw the figure of Jue Chan, she still saw the coral color clothes for the first time, I don't know what she did to dress up so good-looking and ran out, suddenly frowned, pointed at Jue Chan and scolded: "No wonder I was unlucky, I actually met you, how did you get out of Yikun Palace?" Yi Concubine Niangniang doesn't want anyone to serve her? ”

Rong Ruo on the side heard every word, and his heart trembled, he didn't dare to look at his cousin a few more times, but this time he simply looked over, and sure enough, he saw her lowering her eyes, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Just because Concubine Hui summoned her, Concubine Yi asked the concubine to sit." ”

This is the first time Rong Ruo has seen her humility, and you can see Guo Guiren's attitude towards her cousin in a few words, since her cousin went to Yikun Palace, it is even more difficult to know what is going on, and now it seems that she must be having a very bad time, just when she saw a glamorous person coming, she thought it was better than before.

"I said you ......" Guo Guiren was about to have another seizure, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Guo Guiren, the guards still have to inspect the guards, there are rules when and where to go, you can't delay the hour, the minister is willing to carry a sedan chair for you, Yikun Palace is ahead." Rong Ruo didn't know what to think, turned around and ordered his subordinates to continue to go where they should go, and he raised his hand to tie the long hem of his robe around his waist, and without waiting for Guo Guiren to agree, he commanded the remaining three little eunuchs to carry the sedan chair.

Guo Guiren was stunned for a while when he saw him in such a posture, the sedan chair was lifted in a flash, she quickly hugged the princess firmly, and the sedan chair was really not broken, and there was nothing wrong with moving forward steadily.

Juechan promised to follow step by step, and the people in the sedan chair did not have any more seizures, until they arrived in front of the gate of Yikun Palace, Guo Guiren was helped down, turned to look at Nalan Rongruo, who was sweating profusely, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and turned around and entered the door without waiting for a word of thanks. ”

Just two words, in her heart almost tore her chest, biting her lip and going to the door, she knew why he did this, only he would feel sorry for himself being bullied.

The gate of Yikun Palace rumbled and closed behind her, separating Juechan and Rong Ruo in two worlds, she looked up at the sky, but only saw the depression of the four high walls, and the heartache of watching Rong Ruo's hard work to carry the sedan chair just now could not be dispersed.

"Promise, let's go and talk back to Concubine Yi, let's go back to the backyard when we reply, don't dangle in front of Guo Guiren." The palace maid kindly reminded her, and helped her to the main hall.

Jue Chan put away his mind and walked to Yi Concubine's bedroom, the palace maid in front of the door opened a thick curtain, and before she walked in, she heard Guo Guiren's sharp laughter, and said one after another: "Sister really didn't see it, Nalan Rongruo was sweating profusely, I was afraid that even the emperor had never seen him so embarrassed, and the first-class guards actually came to carry a sedan chair for me, and no one believed it." But I'm really relieved, the kind of person like Hui Concubine is not good when she sees us, she doesn't even open the door, when she saw us proudly in the past, even the Rong Concubine who was good in the old year can get rid of it, and my sister can't be close to her anymore. ”

I heard Yi Concubine say again: "You have done too much, he is the emperor's most important person, if it is spread out, Long Live Lord will also be unhappy." ”

But Guo Guiren sneered loudly: "What kind of heavy person, but a minion, I and the princess have been wronged by carrying a sedan chair once, don't let me bump into it again next time, otherwise such a useful minion ......"

"You're enough, don't have a second time, what's the matter with you......"

The two sisters argued as they spoke, and the palace maid in front of the door asked Juechan if he could enter yet, and Juechan covered his chest and said, "I have a little cough, I don't dare to dye it to Niangniang, I'll go back first." After speaking, he led the palace maid away, and rushed straight back to his house in one breath, the charcoal burning in the house was very warm, and the alternation of cold and heat did not ease up at once, and he really coughed.

"Promise it's okay, right? You can't get sick, if you get sick, you have to ask a doctor, Guo Guiren will scold people again. The palace maid was worried.

Jue Chan's hand was propped up on the kang, and when he heard this sentence, he suddenly clenched his fists, the mattress on the kang was caught, and even the kang table was twitched, and the sound of the slave lingered in his ears, and the hard work just now was also imprinted in front of him, and little by little he sank down the anger that was about to come out, and Jue Chan's beautiful eyes shot out a cold light, and he couldn't help but say something that made the palace maids around him look forward in vain: "I won't let her bully again." ”

Although this incident caused Yi Concubine and Guo Guiren to quarrel again, and also aroused the hatred in the heart of Juechan, it was just a trivial matter in the Forbidden City, how to develop in Yikun Palace in the future, no matter how it develops in the future, for other people, there is no difference between knowing and not knowing.

The imperial doctor counted the days and said that the concubine was about to give birth in mid-February, but when she gave birth to Yinzhen, she had delayed it for several days, thinking that it must be until the end of February, and said the same to Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye saw that she was in good spirits, and there were still many days to count, and she was allowed to participate in several banquets in the first month.

Lan Qi herself has never felt bad, who knows that her stomach will fall as soon as the first month passes, and then she has a stomachache for a few days but there is no movement, it is not as safe and stable as the last time she gave birth to the fourth elder brother, and the doctors and women naturally excused themselves after saying something important, but they scared the Queen Mother and Xuan Ye, and it was easy to stay up until the ugly morning of the fifth day of the second month, and finally it was really about to give birth.

Su Mala Mama came to accompany her again, although she had a stomachache a few days ago, today's production was quite smooth, and the pain of contractions tormented her, compared to the inexperience when she gave birth to the fourth elder brother, this time Lan Qi was obviously much more patient, Mama accompanied her, and the two gossiped all over the world, just waiting for the fingers to go to the "battlefield".

Just when talking about the name of the child and saying what is the name of the girl, Wen Po said that De Concubine should give birth, and the greatest pain is coming, and she has no heart to say these words, just when Lan Qi is ready to accept the pain of life, Wen Po told Mama a very bad thing, the child is afraid that the child will fall from the ground, and De Concubine Niangniang is very likely to have a difficult birth.

When the news reached the Qianqing Palace, Manager Li was scared half to death, but the emperor was still listening to the government outside the Qianqing Gate, and it was impossible to tell him, so he had to go to the Yonghe Palace again and again to ask for news. After half an hour in the blink of an eye, Xuan Ye dispersed the court meeting, hurried back, and asked the first sentence when he saw Mr. Li: "How is Concubine De?" ”

Mr. Li knelt on the ground with weak legs and said: "The news sent an hour ago said that Concubine De had a difficult birth, and that the child's feet fell first. ”

Xuan Ye was like five thunderbolts, Queen Hesheri had a difficult birth, and the prince also fell to the ground, and the moment he fell to the ground, Queen Hesheri died.

"Bastard, why don't you report it?" Xuan Ye went crazy, turned around and walked towards Yonghe Palace, and in front of him, Gonggong Li's apprentice ran over, threw himself on the ground and panted like a cow and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine De Niangniang gave birth to a little brother, little brother ......"

"Where's Lan Qi?" Xuan Ye grabbed the eunuch's collar and asked with red eyes, "How is she?" ”

Gonggong Li also came up and pushed it and said, "The emperor asked how Concubine De is doing." ”

"Slaves, slaves don't know ......" Xuan Ye fell to the ground before the words fell, he strode straight to Yonghe Palace, and when he arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace, the concubine just walked out, and saw the emperor walking over without squinting, and felt that his heart sank, and he wanted to see the mood of the concubine, but it disappeared suddenly.

When Su Mala heard that the emperor was coming, she hurriedly rushed out to stop her, and persuaded Xuan Ye not to go in, "Concubine De Niangniang is fine, the imperial doctor said that she was just tired and fainted, and there was no heavy bleeding and no other symptoms, but she was tired from a lot of hardships." Don't worry, the emperor, God is blessed. ”

Hearing that Lan Qi was fine, Xuan Ye only felt weak.
