Sehe Richter had not seen her daughter for five years, and she almost burst into tears the moment she stepped into the inner hall of Yonghe Palace.

Zhu Lan was too pregnant during this time, and her originally somewhat round face had lost her chin, and the wide clothes on her body made her limbs too slender.

"E-niang......" Zhu Lan said.

The woman in front of her has a delicate face, which is five or six points similar to Zhu Lan's current appearance, and she looks like her biological mother and daughter.

"Say hello to the mother."

Sai and Li Shi led Ma Yanzhu to salute halfway before Zhu Lan hurriedly stopped, she shook her head slightly and said euphemistically: "Niangniang, the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

Zhu Lan pursed her lips, and could only accept the two of them alive.

"This is your sister Ma Yanzhu, she was only five years old when you left, and now she is a big girl." Sey and Richter pushed the little girl beside him, who was a little timid.

Ma Yanzhu looks more like Ama Weiwu, and is more heroic than Zhu Lan.

It's just that the little girl looks a little scared, and when she sees Zhu Lan, she only dares to look at her quietly, and she can't see the appearance of a first-class duchess in the future.

Zhu Lan beckoned to Ma Yanzhu, and the little girl looked at Eniang on the side, and trotted to her after getting the answer: "Sister, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

"I'll get fat back after a while." Zhu Lan touched Ma Yanzhu's soft bun and said softly.

She picked up a small piece of jade dew from the plate next to her and put it in Ma Yanzhu's hand, and called the green calyx over and asked her to lead Ma Yanzhu out to play.

Zhu Lan has something to say to Sai and Rich.

"Cowpox?"

Sehe Rich's hand that had just picked up the teacup paused slightly, and then there was a serious look in his eyes: "If this thing really happens, it will be a big event that will leave a name in history." Where did I get this from? ”

Zhu Lan had already guessed that Sai and Richter would have such a question, and she said unhurriedly: "Since giving birth to Yinzhen, I have been studying medical books, and now there is a practice of four or five-year-old children in the palace to get pox, so my daughter pays special attention to it." ”

"Some time ago, the people in the palace told my daughter something about the countryside, and I overheard a little eunuch say that there is a family in the southern suburbs whose cattle are infected with smallpox, and the strange thing is that the cattle breeder is also infected with smallpox, but the symptoms are extremely mild, but they are cured in just two days."

Zhu Lan saw that Sai and Richter listened carefully, and knew that this matter was already half of the success: "Therefore, my daughter has a guess that whether a person infected with cowpox has a much higher probability of successfully curing than a person who is infected with human pox." ”

"This matter is very important, and I will discuss it with you Ama when I go back today." Hearing her say this, Sai and Rich's also knew that her daughter was not lost for no reason, "If it really happens, the official of the family will move up no matter what he says, not to mention your brother Boqi's career, even Ma Yanzhu's marriage will be affected." ”

"At present, it is only a conjecture of my daughter, and it has not been confirmed." Zhu Lan advised, "You should still be cautious at home, and it is best not to be known about this matter by outsiders." ”

When Sai and Richter heard her daughter say this, her originally serious face suddenly stretched, and she said with a smile: "You are just like your Amma, isn't the most cautious person in the family Eniang?" You just put a hundred and twenty hearts, our family is not the kind of family that is rampant when it is ambitious, since the flag was raised, I have instructed my family to go out as little as possible, it is your younger brother, I also detained him and let him study at home, not allowed to go out to mess around. ”

Zhu Lan's heart breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the rest of the family thought, at least she, a cheap girl, was still an understanding person.

"Maro." Sei and Richter carefully took out a small box from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhu Lan's hand.

"Inside is a little bit of the family's heart, you have lived in the palace for a long time, and you have not purchased an estate, even if the Lord of Long Live often rewards you, there is nothing that can reward people."

"Inside the box is a silver ticket, and under the box are some gold bills. In the future, when Brother is older, the place where he wants to use the silver will go to the sea, and you will take these first. Sey and Richter couldn't help but pat their daughter's hand and patiently admonished.

This is also a little bit of her heart as a grandmother.

Zhu Lan's eyes were sour, she had never experienced this feeling, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"Go and bring the fourth elder brother over." She turned her head and whispered to Yao Huang.

As soon as Yin Zhenfu appeared, he was hugged by Sai and Rich's for a long time: "Brother and you didn't look like each other when you were a child, I guess it was with Long Live Lord, look at this little nose and small eyes, how handsome they are." ”

Zhu Lan couldn't see Jun's appearance from such an older child, but she still smiled and nodded, echoing a few words from Sai and Rich.

"Our family can also be called a family of wrappers, if the mother needs it, the family can also arrange a few people in the palace, and it is okay to pass a few words."

Sai and Ree's reluctantly put down Yinzhen and got up, now that the time is almost up, she should go back.

Zhu Lan didn't refuse, although she didn't have any harmful intentions, but her heart to defend against people in the deep palace was indispensable, and a little manpower was not necessarily a bad thing.

＊

The cowpox matter involved a lot of things, and there was no news from Wuya's family for several months, so Zhu Lan also put this matter aside and concentrated on raising the baby.

But during this period, the previous dynasty was a succession of good news, Wu Sangui, who was originally the emperor in Hengzhou, died of illness in the autumn, and the rebels almost completely collapsed after being leaderless, and the people's hearts collapsed, even if Wu Sangui's grandson Wu Shifan inherited the throne, it did not change the situation that the rebels were in a slump since then.

Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places were gradually captured by the Qing army, and even if the rebel leaders resisted stubbornly, the general trend was still gone.

It was in this situation that the children of Quiker were born.

When the news of the production came out from Yikun Palace, Zhu Lan was still nested in the futon, and when she heard the news from Yao Huang, she hurriedly put on her shoes and socks and got up, wrapped a thick cloak and walked out of Yonghe Palace.

By the time she arrived, most of the concubines in the palace had arrived.

Concubine Tong Guifei sat on the top and drank tea, as Yi Guigege's shouts became louder and louder, and more and more blood came out, Zhu Lan's heart began to feel uneasy.

A woman giving birth to a child is like stepping into a ghost gate, even if she is as noble as Queen Xiaochengren, hasn't she escaped the difficult birth?

"How's Guo Luoluo's family?" When Xuan Ye arrived, it was already night.

"The midwife is still inside, and she just cut it in." Concubine Tong said softly.

In fact, they care more about the fetus in her womb than Yi Quaker.

Unlike the situation when Zhu Lan gave birth, the position was undetermined at that time, and there was no precedent for raising children above the concubine position. Now Xuan Ye stipulates that only those who are above the concubine position can raise children, and the six concubines are full, and if Yi Kuigege's baby is an elder brother, it is destined to be taken away.

I just don't know, who will they, the long-lived master, give the child to?

Among the six concubines, An Concubine and Jing Concubine have never given birth, although Duan Concubine has given birth, but Xiao Gege died young, and now he is also empty under his knees.

Concubine Tong also has no children.

"Wow-" A loud baby cry came from the delivery room, and after a while, the midwife walked out happily with a red swaddling baby in her arms, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Long Live Lord, he is a healthy little brother." ”

Almost everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Xuan Ye, he turned the Buddha beads in his hand, and slowly slid past several concubine masters, facing the expectant gazes of three of them, Xuan Ye shook his head invisibly.

This child is not suitable for anyone.

"Let's send it to the Ciren Palace." Xuan Ye remembered the disputes between the Mongolian tribes and the empress dowager's euphemistic proposal during this time, and finally made a decision.

Ciren Palace is the dormitory of the Empress Dowager.

For a while, even Concubine Tong and many other concubines showed surprised looks, they had guessed that they might be sent to Cining Palace, but they never thought that they would be sent to Ciren Palace.

Compared with the Queen Mother, their Queen Mother is really an invisible person, living in a simple place on weekdays, and she can't even understand Chinese.

"The Queen Mother? How could it be the Queen Mother?! Nalan Zhu, who was weak after giving birth, said in astonishment, "Didn't you say that it was the Queen Mother?" ”

The meaning of the prince raised by the Queen Mother and the child raised by the Queen Mother are completely different, Nalan Zhu frowned for a moment, and held back in his heart.

"Is the Queen Mother bad?" Glenjou hurriedly patted her sister on the back.

"How can that be the same?" Nalan Zhu was a little angry, "The Empress Dowager has raised the ancestor and the current saint, if she can raise the little elder brother, she will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among the people in the future." ”

Gran Joo listened to her sister's indignant complaints, and she was silent for a long time: "Dragons and phoenixes among people...... And then what? ”

Nalan Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked at her sister puzzled.

Glen Zhu closed his eyes, and after a while, he gradually opened them: "The Empress Dowager has raised Shizu and the present, and she has raised another child, and this child is the target of Ming Huanghuang!" ”

"Nalan Zhu, what do you want?" Glen Zhu looked at her sister, her voice was obviously extremely gentle, but it made Na Lan Zhu shiver for no reason.

"I ...... I ......" Nalan Zhu was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak.

"The crown prince has been established, and no matter how many thoughts you have, you can't show it." Glenjou sat down next to Naranzhu, "Put away all your thoughts." ”

"We Manchurians have never had a prince speak like this." Nalan Zhu bit her lip and couldn't help but retort.

"But Long Live Lord needs the prince!" Glenjou slapped her sister's hand heavily, and her originally gentle voice became rapid, "This kind of thing must not be said again!" ”

Nalan Zhu looked at her sister in a daze, she was still a little unwilling.

Why can't she think about it?

"Have you ever seen Concubine Hui have any objections to the crown prince?" Gran Zhu said disappointedly, "The fifth elder brother doesn't occupy the eldest brother or the elder, what ability does he have to stand out from the crowd?" ”

"But if it's the Empress Dowager,......," Nalan Zhu argued.

"The Empress Dowager will not raise any more princes." Glen Zhu smoothed her sister's long hair, "The Queen Mother raised Xiao Wu very well, she has a gentle temperament and has been avoiding the world for a long time, if something happens in the future because of the position of the crown prince, Xiao Wu has the friendship raised by the Queen Mother from Mongolia, he can be alone no matter what." ”

Nalan Zhu closed her eyes quietly, and she didn't know if she had listened to what Gran Zhu said.
