"Sent to Chengqian Palace?" Xuan Ye was surprised. He had promised Lan Qi and did not want her to suffer the pain of being separated from her child, so he asked the imperial grandmother to raise the fourth elder brother. Now, sending him to his elder brother's home was a last resort. He had already planned to do so.
He would pick it up again in a few days, but when he suddenly heard these words, the emperor couldn't understand it.
Lan Qi stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears on her face. She had just talked about the emotional point. She couldn't let go of her childishness for a moment, so she shed tears. Fortunately, the makeup on her face was thin and it was not stained. Her skin was still clear and translucent.
Glowing slightly under the tears, she looked up at Xuan Ye, straightened up and said, "I would like to ask the imperial concubine to raise my fourth brother, and I beg the emperor and the empress dowager to grant it."
"Xuan Ye, should you give her a promotion? Once she reaches the concubine position, she can be raised by herself. She doesn't have to bother me and she doesn't have to worry about it." The Empress Dowager looked down at Lan on the ground with a deep expression.
Qi, "Do you feel uncomfortable being second to a noble person?"
Lan Qi shook her head in fear and said no, but the Empress Dowager said coldly: "You are living a normal life, why do you suddenly want to make this happen? The emperor sent the child to Cining Palace for you, you
Look at the women in this palace, even when I was young, they have never been so blessed. Are you living in blessings and not knowing how to be blessed?"
The words made Lan Qi tremble all over. She didn't know whether the Empress Dowager really couldn't understand her, or whether she said these irritating words on purpose.
She was afraid that entering the Yonghe Palace was just around the corner, but even if she entered the Yonghe Palace, she still wanted to send Yinzhen to the Chengqian Palace, but the real reason in her heart could not be revealed.
"Why?" Xuan Ye finally spoke, with sadness in his eyes. Perhaps he felt that Lan Qi had failed him, or perhaps he understood her intentions and felt helpless for himself.
Lan Qi deeply kowtowed to the throne and said word by word: "I still can't let go of what happened in the Yuquan Mountain Palace. When I dreamed about Si Age's blue face at midnight, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep anymore." The Emperor
Queen Mother, Your Majesty, there are some things that I can’t say, and I can’t say them. I don’t care about my position. Being able to serve my master is already a great blessing. But I still want to ask for a blessing. I wish my fourth brother to be healthy.
He can grow up safely."
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, and wrinkles accumulated over time appeared in the corners of her eyes. After a life of hard work, the wrinkles gradually loosened, and the old man's eyes became gentle, and he said softly: "Xuan Ye, you make the decision.
Bar."
"Royal grandmother?" But Xuan Ye knew that what his grandmother meant was "I agreed."
Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye, but the emperor was so driven by her longing gaze that he did not dare to look directly at her. After turning his face away and frowning deeply, he finally said: "I will comply with your words. Let the imperial concubine come tomorrow to lead Si Age.
go."
Tears fell, her eyes were blurred and she could no longer see Xuan Ye's face clearly. Lan Qi fell to the ground and thanked her so much that she was sobbing. She couldn't bear to part with it. The pain of separation of flesh and blood made her almost faint, but she cut it with the knife herself. Now
The blood shed through tears can help the son grow up safely. If he cannot bear the current pain, the blood will flow away from Yinzhen in the future. How can a mother let her child bleed and get hurt?
"But...why?" Xuan Ye asked again, seemingly still unable to understand Lan Qi's strange thoughts. Even if he understood it, he would still feel sad that he doubted his ability to protect his wife and children. He had mixed feelings in his heart, not as good as asking his grandmother After bowing and saying goodbye, he turned around and walked away.
But before Xuan Ye's dragon boots stepped out of the palace threshold, he heard an exclamation from behind him. He heard the sound and looked over, and saw that Lan Qi, who had just kowtowed, had collapsed on the ground. His heart tightened, and he pushed aside the crowd to pick him up in person, and then I heard the palace maid next to me scream "blood" in shock.
Xuan Ye was still confused, but the Empress Dowager ordered the Emperor not to touch him again. Several old ladies came up and snatched the noble man away from the Emperor, and carried him out in a hurry. Xuan Ye was pushed to the back and saw the ground. Palm-sized bright red.
"Royal Grandmother?" Xuan Ye realized something and turned around to see the Empress Dowager frowning, "She has been serving me here day and night these days, and everyone has neglected her."
It was now the end of September, and for a few days before the tour to Yuquan Mountain, the noble man was at Qianqing Palace every day. But after that, he went to the palace and took care of the Empress Dowager and Si Age all day long. He only spent two days with Xuan Ye in June. After July, there were earthquakes, disaster relief, and the Empress Dowager fell ill. She tried her best to take care of the old man's health. For two or three months, no one's thoughts were on her personally. Even Lian Chun and Yu Kui were neglected. .
After the imperial doctor came for diagnosis and treatment, he actually said that Degui was four months pregnant. She was shocked and speechless. She had gone through all kinds of hard things in the past four months, until today she came to ask for the adoption of her fourth brother. , and didn’t realize she was pregnant.
After giving birth to her fourth elder brother last year, the Virtuous Lady's monthly letter has not been adjusted properly. The imperial doctor said that this is a common situation and will recover in a year and a half, so she did not care about it. Huanchun and others did not. Pay attention, after returning from Qianqing Palace in those few days, he immediately went out and has been busy until now. Unknowingly, he has given birth to four months of life.
The imperial doctor said that although the baby was red and the mother was overtired, the fetal pulse was still stable and the baby would be well nourished and the baby could be saved. He only hoped that the noble man would no longer have to work hard and would have to stay in bed for the next two months.
Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief and came closer to the bed to see Lan Qi. She was awake. When the two met, the emperor was originally very distressed, but when he saw that there was still a bit of the stubbornness in her eyes, he became angry for no reason. He blurts out the blame: "What are you thinking about all day long, worrying about these unnecessary things, and you don't know how to take care of your body? Do you want me and the Imperial Grandmother to worry about you?"
Being scolded all over her face, Lan Qi held her tongue and did not dare to speak. The Empress Dowager scolded her grandson for being inconsiderate and sent him back to do his business. Xuan Ye actually left without looking back. He was so angry when he saw him Lan Qi stubbornly wiped away the tears that were about to fall out of her back.
"You are really torturing me to death." The Empress Dowager was full of love and affection, and gently pinched Lan Qi's cheek, her eyes sparkling, "If you lose my little grandson just to take care of my old bones, you How can I feel at ease?"
Lan Qi sat up slightly and was held in the arms of the Empress Dowager. She was like a grandmother and granddaughter. She said softly: "I have thought about it for a long time. It is not good for Yinzhen to stay with me. The Empress Dowager... Can you understand?"
How could the old man not understand that the noble Nala would follow him to Yuquan Mountain? Let Aunt Sumala do a little research and find out. Nowadays, life is getting better and better, there are more and more concubines in the palace, and the princess’ elder brother is also
Many, the peaceful and peaceful days in the past are no longer possible. The palace is suspended. Can these women start to waste their lives for themselves and their children's future? How long can she take care of this old bone? She once asked Lan Qi that she was no longer here.
Whatever she did, I will still remember it in my heart.
"I agreed, didn't I?" the Empress Dowager coaxed her and said happily, "The fourth brother gave it to the imperial concubine. I will take good care of the thing in my belly from now on. In a few days, I asked the emperor to issue an order, saying that for
I'll give you the title of concubine after having a baby. Then I'll give birth to a little brother for the emperor, do you understand?"
Lan Qi nodded, but thinking of Xuan Ye's angry figure just now, and thinking that she was going to be disgusted by him, her heart was filled with turmoil, and she didn't dare to show it in front of the old man. When she was sent back to Zhongcui Palace, she avoided the concubines and clothed her.
The nobles just cried hard in Huan Chun's arms, and after crying this time, they put away their tears cleanly. For Yinzhen and the little life in her belly, she wanted to be a strong mother-in-law.
.
After the natural disaster, a happy news finally came to the palace. The noble lady from Zhongcui Palace was pregnant. Because the noble lady took care of the Queen Mother's body and recovered, and served the disease well, the emperor followed the Queen Mother's decree and made the noble lady a virtuous concubine.
Entered the Yonghe Palace. However, although this matter was compared to the fact that Yi concubine was left at home to have the baby after she became pregnant, and the whole family went to Yuquan Mountain to escape the summer heat, the superiors seemed not to take it seriously at all. De concubine's favor was indeed unacceptable.
It does not make people jealous, but what is even more shocking is that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen will be raised by Concubine Tong from now on.
Two news circulated in the Sixth Palace at the same time. No one could understand why the child was sent to Chengqian Palace after being promoted to concubine. Some people said that the imperial concubine took it away by force, while others said that it was the concubine who took the decision.
Due to the status of Yonghe Palace, the son was given away as a gift regardless of family ties. There were many rumors and rumors, which diluted the depressing atmosphere of panic in the palace after the disaster.
October 13th is an auspicious day, and this day was chosen for the canonization. Before that, Lan Qi had been living in Zhongcui Palace because the imperial doctor told her not to move as much as possible. By the day of the canonization, her health was better, but the Empress Dowager
It would be better to avoid the red tape and let her move directly into Yonghe Palace. At this time, Si elder brother had already carried her to Chengqian Palace for half a month.
Almost all the things that should be taken from Zhongcui Palace have been moved to Yonghe Palace. These days, the concubine Rong and Duan Concubine are taking care of her. Lan Qi just lies down to have the baby, and occasionally deals with a few words. She doesn't have to worry about anything.
.
Today was the day to go to Yonghe Palace. It was busy outside. She sat inside alone, carefully looking at every corner of the house over and over again, stroking her belly and smiling gently: "Good boy, my brother was born here.
, although your brother is now living with the imperial concubine, you can still play together when you grow up. If you are a younger brother, you want to study and practice martial arts with your elder brother and then do errands for the emperor. If you are a little sister, your elder brother will definitely
I love you the most."
There were footsteps outside, and when they walked in, it was Bu Gui and Dai who agreed. Dai Jiashi has been following Zhong Cuigong these days. Her health has improved and she has become more beautiful. They all say that her eyes look like hers. Now she is a little fatter, so she has her own.
With the appearance of his eyebrows, the girls he chose to enter the palace all looked outstanding.
The two of them bowed, and now Lan Qi is the concubine. The once maid of Bu Guiren is now in a high position. Fortunately, the sisters treat each other sincerely, and no one is uncomfortable. But Bu Guiren has always been frowning in recent days, and now
After saying a few words, Dai promised to go out and help Lan Qi as he was busy outside. Bu Guiren helped Lan Qi sit down and said, "In the future, if we are not under the same roof, the empress should be more careful in Yonghe Palace."
"Sister and I don't need to use any honorifics, we are still the same." Lan Qi Jiao Didi said, holding Bu Guiren's hand.
But Bu Guiren nodded: "I know, but in my heart..." He seemed to be hesitating and tangled for a while before he finally made up his mind and asked, "Why do you want to send Brother Si away? I still can't figure it out. We once said that if one day you
As the chief, I took Duan Jing away so that I could see him from time to time. It is no different now that Concubine Duan is here, but you can’t even bear to part with Duan Jing for me, so why would you let me go to my fourth brother? Lan Qi, the Emperor made you a concubine.
It's beautiful scenery, but let me ask you, from the time you were carried back to now, have you seen the emperor?"
Lan Qi was heartbroken. She and Xuan Ye had not seen each other for half a month. Even on the busiest days of disaster relief, he would go to Cining Palace to have a few words with her. She knew that Xuan Ye was angry, and even
He was so angry that he never even went to Chengqian Palace, and he didn't hear the imperial concubine playing the piano for half a month, as if he didn't want to come to this nearby place anymore.
