350 sons are more expensive than mothers (and updates.)
Alinga's expression became a little stiff, obviously for him or the family, Concubine Wen was still a very important existence, they did not abandon the noble people like the Hesheri family, they still expected Concubine Wen to be able to maintain her status in the harem forever, after all, one was her own daughter, and Concubine De was just an in-law who could abandon them at any time.
Xuan Ye motioned for the mighty people to go down, Lan Qi also got up to leave on the side, but the emperor left her and smiled faintly: "It's nothing important, it's just a matter in the deep palace, and it's inconvenient for you to know it." ”
Lan Qi sat still at this time, only to hear Ah Ling'a tremble and say: "The concubine has been in close contact with her brother recently, and the ministers dare not speculate about what she said, and there is no tangible evidence to prove that the concubine Niangniang is related to this matter, please forgive the emperor." ”
"You have inherited the family business, your eldest son was born to the original spouse, and he should inherit the family business, and your brother and sister-in-law are your original sisters, for them, it is understandable to want to keep the status of the eldest son in the family. But the new lady is favored, and in the future, the son will be precious to the mother, and you, as a younger brother, can still be in charge of the family, let alone your children. Xuan Ye said slowly, glanced at Lan Qi, and continued, "This matter is indeed more convincing because of the infighting in your family, think about why the concubine is so stupid, something went wrong with the things she sent, isn't it causing trouble?" ”
Aling Alin claimed that it was, but Lan Qi spoke: "Maybe the concubine didn't calculate, the family will take a bowl of porridge to worship the ancestors, after all, it is a reward from the Xianfu Palace, and it is the etiquette for the family to be used for a good life." Since there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the concubine, it is equivalent to no evidence to prove the innocence of the mother, and the concubine rashly has such an idea, and asks the emperor for forgiveness. ”
Xuan Ye's expression did not change, but Ah Ling'a panicked, and said anxiously: "Niang Niang Rongchen is talkative, the concubine relies on the support of the family in the deep palace, and now the minister is a relative of Niang Niang, and he will definitely support Niang Niang in the future, the family is like this, how can the concubine Niangniang ......"
Lan Qi said calmly: "The big truth is beautiful, this palace has heard a lot, this palace does not think that the concubine Niangniang has done anything, but seeing that her sister has suffered so much, she can't swallow this breath in her heart, if there is evidence to prove the innocence of the concubine, this palace naturally does not dare to criticize the concubine." ”
Alinga was so nervous that he was sweating, the charcoal burning in the hall was very warm, his neckline was a little wet, and he said embarrassedly: "It is easy to find evidence to prove a person's guilt, but how to prove a person's innocence?" The minister has never handled the case, and he doesn't understand the doorway here, the mother forgives the sin, can you give the minister some more time? ”
Lan Qi smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that this time it will be difficult to have a result, this palace said that, I just hope that the adults can pay more attention to the concubine Niangniang in the future, the mother is simple-minded and easy to be deceived, don't let your jealous brother communicate with her, instigate and do something unacceptable, so as to prevent future troubles." ”
Ah Ling'a then understood, got up and said that he would definitely do what Concubine De said, Lan Qi smiled and instructed him: "Family and everything is prosperous, your brother and sister-in-law are also Lan Ying's brother and sister-in-law, don't let people say that the new lady instigates discord in your family." ”
Alinga even claimed that it was, Lan Qi didn't know what kind of face he had always had in the court, and he didn't know what his attitude towards the concubine was, at least he was dedicated to Lan Ying, and now he was respectful to her, of course, at the moment the emperor was on the side, how could he smile and grovel, Lan Qi was not so complacent, and he didn't plan to have anything to do with Alinga, the only hope was that his sister could live happily.
"Continue to investigate, if you find out that the concubine is related to this matter, you must tell me, I really won't embarrass your brothers and sisters, but if I find out first, and you hide it and don't report it, some things will not be so easy to say." Xuan Ye only spoke seriously at this moment, "This matter is big or small, you must understand it in your hearts." ”
Aling Ah Lian kowtowed and agreed, and it didn't take long to retreat, Lan Qi should have gotten up and asked Ama Eniang to come in, but when she walked to the door, she closed the door with her backhand, Xuan Ye felt a little strange, but when she saw Lan Qi walking in front of her, Huo Ran bent her knees and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine also has something to say." ”
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ye smiled.
"The emperor said that Mrs. Ying'er's new wife is favored, and her son will be valued by her mother in the future, and it is understandable if the child she gives birth to takes away the status of the eldest son to inherit the family." Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye with her head raised and said pious and solemnly, "But after all, this is a trivial matter for a family, the eldest son or the second son inherits the family business, it is true that it is enough to rely on the preference of the head of the family, but the same thing cannot happen casually in the court and the royal family." The concubine understands her current status and status, and the emperor's words made the concubine very uneasy, and she just wants to ask the emperor to rest assured, the concubine will never dare to think about it, giving birth to an heir is a blessing from God and the emperor's love, I only hope that the children will grow up healthily and have a bright future, and I dare not covet the position of the East Palace, and I am willing to ask the emperor to rest assured. ”
Lan Qi was deeply convinced, Xuan Ye's expression also became solemn, he would not suspect that Lan Qi relied on his favor to do something wrong, but as an emperor, he did have this defensive heart, and now that Lan Qi said it openly and honestly, he was also slightly shocked in his heart, and the words that he said to Alinga inadvertently obviously revealed his intentions intentionally or unintentionally, but he was not aimed at Lan Qi or others, but all this had long become his instinct as an emperor.
"My favor for you can be abandoned at any time, you have no family support behind you, and when the emperor's grandmother returns to Yaochi in the west, you will lose your most powerful support, let me ask you alone, how can you turn your hands into clouds and rain in the deep palace?" Xuan Ye smiled disdainfully, got up and helped his beloved woman up, "I understand your intentions, and I understand our feelings even more, although I am glad that you can confess this, but after all, it is a cruel reality, it is your helplessness, and it is really ruthless, and my heart is really unhappy." ”
"It's the concubine who is not good, and it is good to say these words in a dignified manner, but the emperor's words did make the concubine feel a little touched, and he was also arrogant and rude in the face of Ah Ling's concubine." Lan Qi finally laughed freely, her eyebrows curled very easily, "The concubine has said a long time ago, you have to say anything in the future, it is uncomfortable to hold it in your heart, don't accumulate this unnecessary mustard little by little, it will become an unbreakable knot in the future, what the concubine looks forward to, but you will not dislike it for the rest of your life." ”
"It's a pity that if you are old, your skin is not tender, your waist is not slender, and your face is not smooth, I will probably dislike it." Xuan Ye smiled and was not serious, Lan Qi pouted and lowered her head and said, "If you dislike it, you will dislike it, and when the time comes, the concubines will abuse those young concubines and make them angry." ”
There was a loud laughter in the hall, and the mighty couple waiting outside looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor and concubine could be happy about, Mrs. Wuya timidly said to the master: "Our daughter is so favored, I really don't want to see the day when I fall out of favor." ”
Wei Wu blamed his wife: "What nonsense, Niangniang's state of mind is different from others, how can she be disliked by the emperor, do you women only think that men will be tempted when they see young and beautiful?" The emperor is rich in the world, he can't get anything, I'm afraid that we can't get the family of this small family, but these can be given by the mother. ”
The words of the couple were not heard by others, but they seemed to be this truth, since ancient times, the emperor called the lonely widow, how can he say it casually, there are so many beauties, and the beauty can not last long, and the life of companionship still depends on the sincere cherishing of each other.
After a short small gathering, the imperial concubine quickly returned home, although Lan Qi was reluctant to give up her family, but now it is easier than ever to see each other, after a little sadness, she put it down, rushed back to the palace before dark, and said many interesting things in front of the queen mother, and Xuan Ye also came over to persuade the imperial grandmother to follow him to recuperate after the new year, the queen mother did not want the concubines to stay in the palace to be jealous, but Xuan Ye said: "If you are jealous, you must have no filial piety to the imperial grandmother, and the grandchildren will not tolerate it, so you can let them stay in the harem, it is already tolerant, what garden do you want to live in?" ”
Lan Qi didn't want to be unhappy about good things, jokingly alleviating the atmosphere, and coquettishly to the Queen Mother: "The concubine is dedicated to you, so she has never been disliked by the emperor, otherwise she would have known where to enter the cold palace." ”
Xuan Ye glared at her, and the Empress Dowager scolded with a smile: "If you have no rules, you deserve to be disliked." After rejoicing for a while, the Empress Dowager said, "I will be busy with Yinyu's wedding in the first month, don't announce the news that we will go to live in the garden in the future, I don't have to distract people to go over there to do something, I have treated the eldest brother's wedding badly, Xuan Ye, it's just the first time you have married your daughter-in-law, since you have given the eldest brother dignity, don't discount it anywhere, don't let them have something to say in the future, as for the prince's wedding, it's all a matter of the future." ”
Speaking of the child's marriage, Xuan Ye happened to have something to tell his grandmother, and said at this moment: "The crown princess has an extraordinary status, and the grandson wants to choose carefully, and then he wants to give the prince a side blessing first, if he meets a reliable and proper child, he can correct it, if it is not very good, it is not suitable for the princess, so naturally he will choose again, the imperial grandmother, you see, is this reliable?" ”
The Empress Dowager agreed, and said slowly: "The crown princess really can't decide casually, the mother of a country in the future must be excellent everywhere, appearance and family background are secondary, if I can still choose for you, I will naturally do my best, otherwise, you don't decide on your own in the future, women look at women more than you men, find a reliable person to discuss, that is, the queen mother, you can also listen to her a few words." ”
Xuan Ye looked at Lan Qi, but people waved their hands again and again: "The concubine is unreliable, the emperor will not trouble the concubine when the time comes." ”
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Look, what's the use of holding it in the palm of your hand, you can't do anything important, and I'm not surprised that you will be tired of her in the future." ”
Of course, all this is a joke to make my grandmother happy, if there is anything to discuss in the future, Lan Qi is definitely the most reliable, she has no selfish intentions to look at everything calmly, Xuan Ye understands very well in her heart.
