"None of the palaces came to visit in person, as if they were afraid that Empress Yi would be unhappy. Jinhe had already come to send a message, and Zhongcui Palace only sent its maids there. Bu Gui and Dai agreed not to go either." Huan Chun said, putting the things he had prepared.
The gift was presented to Lan Qi for inspection. Guo Guiren gave birth to a daughter that day, and Lan Qi enthusiastically made a pair of tiger-head shoes. This time, Yi concubine gave birth, and she only sent Huan Chun to prepare.
He put down his pen and looked up, and saw that there was nothing wrong. However, after hearing Huan Chun say that Bu Gui and Dai had agreed not to go, he asked: "Sister, she is a concubine after all. Is it appropriate not to go in person?"
"The imperial doctor reported to the two palaces that the Queen Mother Yibin had collapsed after giving birth. If she wanted to take good care of herself, she would have to rest for several months and would not be able to go out until summer next year. The Queen Mother then asked the Queen Mother to help raise the fifth elder brother and let the Queen Mother Yibin
Take good care of your health in Yikun Palace. You can't go out before summer. Naturally, it's inconvenient for other masters and ladies to come as guests." Huan Chun put the gifts away again and said softly, "This slave feels strange. I don't know if it's because of the Yuquan Mountain.
Something happened, the Empress Dowager showed her power."
Lan Qi didn't take it seriously, picked up the pen again, dipped it in full ink, wrote the word "Fu" on the red paper, and asked Huan Chun with a smile: "Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Emperor gives the word "Fu" to the Sixth Palace and the princes and ministers. I am here.
Once it's written, if you don't mind it, take it home and paste it up, are you willing? Although it's not Long Live's own handwriting, the paper, inkstone, pen and ink were all given by the emperor, and my calligraphy was also taught by the emperor."
Huan Chun already smiled and said: "A few days ago, I asked Yukui and the others to hide the bad calligraphy you had written. They said it was valuable, and they were handed over by the slaves and scolded. They were not happy. You gave me such a blessing."
They should be very happy when they go down. I will first thank the master for the blessing on their behalf."
Lan Qi was very happy. She turned over a piece of red paper and wrote down a round and full word "Fu". After looking at it with satisfaction, she raised her head and continued: "We don't care about the things outside. From now on, we will not care about the things in Yonghe Palace."
There is no need for others to take care of it. Empress Duan, Sister Bu and Dai promised to come and sit down whenever they want. Other than that, they don’t want to get too close. By the way, there is also Empress Rong, and Empress Rong is much better than those others.
Yes, if she is willing to come, she will naturally be a guest."
When Huan Chun saw that she no longer wrote and went to fetch water to wash her hands, he said: "Recently, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui have not had much contact with each other. Their relationship is better than before. People in the palace are spreading the word that now they are He Yi."
We are close to Kun Palace, and we can talk to Yi Bi, and it’s because Jue Chan agreed to live there.”
Lan Qi laughed angrily: "I told you not to meddle in other people's affairs?"
Huan Chun said: "Of course the master must be clean, but I have to keep a good eye on you. When you ask me, I will be able to speak truthfully."
While she was talking, Xiangyue happily came in with a food box in her hands, saying that it was sent by Qianqing Palace. She didn’t need the master to thank her, just let her bring it in. She also said: “This person is Mr. Li’s apprentice, saying that Qin Tianjian
The date for sealing has been planned. It will be sealed earlier this year on the 17th of the twelfth lunar month, so our long live master can rest for half a month."
Lan Qi was also looking forward to it and thought: "Years go by so fast. I was still a little girl when I entered the palace in the twelfth year. In the blink of an eye, I will have a second child. Why did my mother cry when she sent me to the palace?"
It seems that she is looking forward to me leaving the palace when I am old. How could she have thought that her daughter's life would be so good."
Xiangyue said: "Now that the master is the empress, you can invite your wife to the palace to celebrate the festival. Just give me a reply from above. You are going to give birth in February, so it would be great to ask your wife to take care of you."
Lan Qi shook her head. She had thought about it for a long time. She only mentioned it now and said: "The emperor feels sorry for me. Others have already gritted their teeth. I can no longer do flamboyant things. Without self-respect, I am not qualified to enjoy happiness. There are noble concubines and
Concubine Wen is here, so I have to be measured."
Similar words, Aunt Sumala once taught Concubine Rong and Concubine Duan. After more than ten years of walking, Concubine Rong once lost her way, but she is deeply affectionate and deserves forgiveness. Fortunately, she found her way back and returned early.
Having cut off their relationship with Hui Concubine, what happened to Yi Concubine this time was a warning to everyone in Cining Palace. Although some things were just rumors, everyone knew it and did not dare to approach Yikun Palace for a while. Guo Guiren happened to
He has a bad temper, and others are too lazy to get close to him.
Concubine Rong has been busy in Ningshou Palace in the past few days. Although the Queen Mother is the elder in the palace, she has never had any children in her life and has never raised any other children. This is the first time a child is given to her, and it is still a newborn baby, so she has to be in a hurry.
Even though the wet nurse was there, I still felt like my eyes were darkened and I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Concubine Rong came in time. She had given birth many times and she was the most experienced. After Queen Niu Hulu passed away, she often served in Ningshou Palace. She knew that the Queen Mother
Temper, she told the Queen Mother what to do in a decent manner, and she gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor has given the name of the fifth elder brother Yinzhen. The names of the brothers all take the meaning of "blessing". The eldest elder brother Yinzhen, the prince Yinreng, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen sound good and auspicious, so he decided to give it to him at first.
When changing the name from generation to generation, Xuan Ye discussed it with Grandma Sumala for a long time in Cining Palace, and now everyone is happy. With the generation of generation, the children look like brothers and are closer to each other.
The Empress Dowager was proud of Yinqi, and the atmosphere in Ningshou Palace was no longer deserted. The cry of a baby every day sounded more interesting to her than the singing of gongs and drums. If Yinqi smiled, the Empress Dowager would be even happier, and even the Cining Palace would become even more happy.
Even though she didn't care about greeting her, the Empress Dowager didn't care, saying that it was more important for her to raise her children.
All palaces and courtyards also came to Ningshou Palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on the birth of her grandson. Just as the Queen Mother had told her not to think that this was Yi's concubine's child, but only to think about bringing a child to the emperor. The concubines in the palace seemed to
They also secretly made a tacit understanding, and everyone praised the fifth elder brother when he came. No one mentioned Yikun Palace, let alone the child's mother-in-law. At first, the Queen Mother felt that Yi Bin was somewhat pitiful, but as time went by, her relationship with the child became more and more...
If he has feelings, he doesn't care who his mother is.
But that day, Concubine Rong brought Yinzhi and Rong Xian to pay her respects. The two children were led by their wet nurse and played around the cradle. The Queen Mother had just held them for a while and was feeling tired. She was leaning on the kang outside. Concubine Rong asked Ji Xin to rub her waist.
, the Queen Mother was satisfied for a moment and then let them all go down. She only said to Concubine Rong: "How is Yikun Palace doing these days? Yesterday I heard the maid down below gossiping about Concubine Yi crying in the room every day. I was thinking about it and had a nightmare all night.
I felt uncomfortable all over when I woke up this morning."
Concubine Rong brought tea and persuaded with a smile: "You shouldn't worry about it. It is a blessing for the child and Concubine Yi that the fifth elder brother is raised by you, and it is not taken to be raised in another palace. Why is she crying? She is raised in Chengqian Palace.
Even with my fourth brother, I don’t see Concubine Crying, so she’s doing well.”
The Queen Mother drank the tea and said with a sigh of relief: "That's the truth. No matter what I do to snatch her child, the child still calls her E Niang. My fourth brother no longer calls her De Bin E Niang, and I don't see De Bin making trouble."
Concubine Rong coaxed and said: "Just take good care of your grandson. When he grows up, he will be able to serve you. Our Yinzhi will also honor the emperor's grandmother well. If I don't bring him here these days, I will see trouble in the world.
She said she misses the royal grandmother."
"Yinzhi is a good child." The queen mother's mood gradually improved, and soon she heard the child crying again. They all gathered around to look at her, hugging her and coaxing her, when the maid outside reported that Guo Guiren from Yikun Palace wanted to see her.
Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother looked at each other, and the Queen Mother said: "You take Yinzhi and Rongxian to eat snacks without seeing her. I have something to say."
In this way, when Guo Guiren came in, he did not see the concubines. He saluted the Queen Mother in the main hall. The Queen Mother asked her a few words and went around without mentioning the child. Guo Guiren wanted to speak. Seeing the Queen Mother's attitude, she also
I didn't dare to mention it anymore. I couldn't wait for a cup of tea and left.
When Concubine Rong and others came to the main hall, she let her two children go in front. She and Ji Xin walked slowly for a few steps and told her: "Look at the movements in Yikun Palace, and the Jue Chan clan in their backyard, such a beautiful person.
, but I don’t know what kind of heart I have.”
Here, Xiangguo nobleman returned to Yikun Palace full of anger. It was because he saw his sister crying every day that he felt distressed, so he decided to come and see the child. However, the Queen Mother was so intolerant of meat and vegetables that after going around for a long time, she just said that she had
No, she was too small for a noble person to dare to be presumptuous. After holding back her anger, she came back. When she entered the door, she saw Jue Chan agreeing to hang out in front of the Yi concubine's door. When she got closer, she was still holding the little princess.
"What kind of lowly thing are you to hold a princess?" Guo Guiren couldn't help but let the people around him snatch his daughter away. Seeing Jue Chan's face that was so beautiful that people were envious, he wanted to go forward and tear her to pieces, so he raised his leg and went to her.
He kicked his knee and watched Jue Chan fall down, and cursed, "Go away and kneel in the yard. Don't get up without my permission. If I see you touching the princess again, I will chop off your fingers."
"
Jue Chan fell to the ground and did not move, which made Guo Guiren even more angry. He yelled at the people around him to drag her to the yard and kneel down. He also ordered tiles to be placed under her knees. After venting his anger for a long time, he entered the door. Inside was Yi Bin.
His face had turned cold and he said angrily: "What are you making a fuss about? It's so unpleasant to spread the news. Ke Jing kept crying, so I asked her to take her out to comfort her. You..."
Guo Guiren sat aside with his daughter in his arms, and said with a bad face: "Sister, please don't let her touch Ke Jing in the future. What kind of thing is she?"
Yi Bin looked at her and saw that this posture must have been deflated in Ningshou Palace. Sure enough, she heard her sister murmur: "The Queen Mother is really weird. What can I do if I see the child? It's hidden and tucked away, and it's not her birth."
"Shut up." Yi Bin became anxious and hurriedly asked Taohong and others to get out. She pointed at her sister and said, "Your mouth is worse than that of An Gui. How dare you whisper behind the Queen Mother's back? She is a widowed person. What do you mean?
If that’s the case, don’t use your head?”
Guo Guiren stood up with his daughter in his arms and said to his sister: "Sister once said that it was hard to live under the control of Queen Niu Hulu, and I am not having a good time now either. My sister was never such a person before, why do you look at me now?
Not pleasing to the eye? You feel aggrieved, but I won’t feel aggrieved. Since you look at me and feel disgusted, my sister will leave you."
After saying these words, Guo Guiren went to his room with his daughter in his arms. Then he opened the curtain in the main hall and came out. He saw a group of people coming in front of the door. The emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe stood in the middle. Guo Guiren was frightened here.
He was stunned, but he didn't know that as soon as Xuan Ye entered the door, he saw a woman in a palace concubine's dress kneeling beside a large flowerpot in the yard.
The emperor stood in front of the door and did not go inside. It was Eunuch Li who came over in a hurry to ask why. He didn't even pay attention to Guo Guiren, who was already holding the child in front of the door and saluting. After he turned back and said a few words, the emperor turned around and left.
Eunuch Li came over again and said awkwardly to Guo Guiren: "Long live Lord said that since Queen Yibin is teaching the rules here, it is inconvenient for Lord Long live to interfere. I will come to see Queen Yibin another day. Please pass on a message to Queen Yibin."
Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."
Guo Guiren was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was kneeling in front of Eunuch Li without remembering to stand up. He only waited for Eunuch Li to leave before a few palace maids came to help her. Guo Guiren handed the princess to the wet nurse while regaining consciousness.
, furious, rushed into the yard like crazy, raised his hand and slapped Jue Chan on the face: "Bitch, it's all your fault, why don't you die?"
Xuan Ye left Yikun Palace and went to Yonghe Palace. He originally thought that Yi Bin had given birth to a prince. No matter what happened before, he would continue to check and balance the importance of each palace, and his relationship with Yi Bin would not be that bad.
It's so bad. I'm in such a good mood today that I want to come see her. Who knew what kind of scene I'd see when I walked in? Xuan Ye hates abuse the most. Of course it's disappointing.
But before entering the Yonghe Palace, Xuan Ye told the people around him: "There is no need to let the concubine know these things, she will feel uncomfortable if she is kind-hearted." Whether it was because he was afraid that she would be unhappy when she heard about the abuse, or he didn't want her to feel that he was not good enough.
He came to Yonghe Palace after going to Yikun Palace. In the emperor's heart, nothing was more important than taking good care of Lan Qi.
I immediately adjusted my mood. When I entered the door, I heard laughter, and Xiangyue said anxiously: "Master writes another one for the slave. Sister Luzhu has snatched it from me again."
Xuan Ye walked in and saw that the room was covered with red paper. The big words "福" were written plump and round, but there were also some that were crooked and some that were not written well. What was more, the red paper was gorgeous and his eyes were full of joy.
Seeing the emperor coming, everyone in the room knelt down to salute. Lan Qi knelt on the kang with her belly stretched out, and was pulled by Xuan Ye to sit down. She laughed at the people on the ground: "Look, you are just trying to make trouble with me.
When the emperor comes, there is no one outside to support him, and Yonghe Palace becomes more and more unruly. I will ask Eunuch Li to teach you a lesson."
Xuan Ye laughed at her: "Obviously you are showing off your skills here, and you have the nerve to give them away with such big characters. They are trying to make you happy, but you still get scolded." As he said this, he splashed ink and took Lan Qi's pen.
He wrote a few big blessing words with his own hand and asked Huanchun and others to take them. They did not dare, but Xuan Ye said, "The ones I gave to the harem ministers were all written in gold sand. They are different. You can take them."
A few people seemed to be overjoyed, and each of them gave a big blessing letter to each of them, and knelt down and kowtowed to express gratitude. However, Lan Qi shouted: "Where's mine? You don't care about it anymore. Don't throw it away. I've been writing it for a long time."
.”
Huan Chun and others ignored her and were busy cleaning up and serving tea. After a while, they dispersed. Lan Qi pouted and was unhappy. She pushed Xuan Ye and said: "They all thought that I was very powerful. How could you not give me anything like this?"
People are so shameless, they will laugh at me if I write any more."
Xuan Ye saw that she was so cute. The master and slaves in the room were as close as family members. He was in a good mood. He hugged her and kissed her on the face. He suddenly thought about it, took the red paper head, and held it.
Lan Qi's hand wrote one word after another, but the more she looked at it, the more unclear she became. When she stopped writing, she saw the word "祚".
"Yin Zuo." Xuan Ye said, "When you give birth to a son, he will be called Yinzuo."
"Your Majesty." Lan Qi's heart trembled. She had read a lot of books. Knowing the word Zuo was certainly a blessing, but there was also...
"Don't like it?" Xuan Ye smiled broadly, but he didn't know if he had considered the meaning carefully.
