I heard that the fourth elder brother was at Lan Qi's place, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to tell her not to go there again. Lan Qi was able to coax her two sons to eat and bathe freely. Although Yinzhen didn't understand the birth mother and adoptive mother, he didn't know the talents of moral concubines at all.
It was he who kissed her, but no longer a stranger after seeing each other in the early years, he would still pester her and act coquettishly. Lan Qi's heart softened just after hearing him call her "De Niangniang" a few times.
The brothers seem to have the same nature. The older brother and the younger brother never quarrel when they are together. Yinzhen loves his younger brother very much. He eats food for himself and his younger brother one bite at a time. However, Yinzuo is usually not willing to eat well, but he will eat obediently when his brother feeds him. Lan
Qi sat on the edge and watched contentedly, sitting blankly for an hour or two without feeling tired.
At night, the two brothers slept next to each other. Lan Qi slept next to them and fanned them. The two little guys were both fleshy and afraid of the heat. When they slept together, their eyebrows were exactly the same. She couldn't help but dream about the future of their children.
, and even thought of what Duan Concubine said that day. If Concubine Tong becomes the Imperial Concubine, she will be the same Vice-Concubine in the future, and have such a noble mother. Yinzhen will be the most noble prince under the crown prince. Thinking of these things, Lan Qi will feel a little excited.
, but I don’t know what I’m thinking.
The night was getting late and the children were fast asleep. Huan Chun came in and lit mosquito coils and blew candles. Lan Qi whispered to her to go to bed early. Huan Chun told him that the emperor was taking his concubine to Penglai Pavilion to see the night view tonight. Lan Qi
Then he smiled sourly: "Last night you said you would take me to have a look." But when I thought about the ambiguity of the mandarin ducks playing in the water last night, my heart started beating again. I didn't go to Penglai Pavilion, but I climbed it several times.
Yunxiao felt embarrassed when she thought about it, so she quickly put away the thought of pancreatic acidosis and fell asleep peacefully hugging her pair of treasures.
The days that followed were peaceful and peaceful. Lan Qi either served the Empress Dowager or accompanied Xuan Ye. The emperor did not neglect the concubines he brought. Concubine Wen could be alone with the emperor every few days. She was content all day long, as if she were the only one.
The biggest regret was that De's concubine kept a distance from her. He even asked the emperor privately why. Xuan Ye didn't want them to get close in his heart, so he only said perfunctorily: "She has to serve the Empress Dowager and is too busy."
In the blink of an eye, at the end of June, in order to celebrate the Yingtai banquet in July, more and more ministers, craftsmen, eunuchs, guards, etc. were coming and going. It was no longer as clean as it was in midsummer, and because of the inconvenience of having female relatives, the Emperor
The Queen Mother asked the emperor to send someone to escort the concubines back to the palace first.
Concubine Tong and others did not dare to object, but only the concubine De was left behind, saying that she was to serve the Empress Dowager. However, Concubine Tong and Concubine Wen could not help but feel a little jealous, and the women in the palace were even more jealous.
Knowing that the Empress Dowager was going to attend the celebration banquet, maybe De's concubine followed her on the pretext of serving her. Such a scene was not even for the imperial concubine. There were constant rumors. Not long after Concubine Tong returned to the palace, she heard rumors that De's concubine was going to pass her by.
.
The people who chewed their tongues thought that they could anger the imperial concubine and show off to the concubines in the future, but after the imperial concubine Tong returned to the palace, she took her son to the Chengqian Palace and said to Qinglian in private: "They think I'm a fool and instigate them."
Should I go and make trouble with the Wu Ya family? Then the emperor complained about me, making me a human being inside and out. The fourth elder brother is here with me. How dare the concubine do anything to me? If I am not good, what will the fourth elder brother do?"
Qinglian felt very comforted after hearing this. She followed the imperial concubine and watched her change little by little and her mind grow little by little. Regardless of whether it was the empress dowager or the emperor's idea, it was really a great job to send the concubine's fourth brother here.
thing.
But not long after Lord Tong Guowei brought his wife into the palace to pay his respects, Qinglian heard about another incident. However, before she could send someone to report this incident to Grandma Sumala, someone in the palace had already noticed it. It turned out that at the end of the year
The emperor has already discussed with several ministers about the sealing of the Sixth Palace, and even mentioned the Eight Banners talent show. There will be new people in the spring palace next year, and Concubine Tong's sister has also reached the age. This time Master Tong comes into the palace, that is
Talk about this.
At that time, Concubine Tong was not very happy, and asked her father if she had done a bad job. Since she already had a daughter in the palace, why did she still send her in? She even said unceremoniously: "The Niu Hulu family sent a daughter
Come in, a pair of daughters from the Guo Luo Luo family are also brought in. Amma, look at their situation now? Do you also want me and my sister to live and die? "
Tong Guowei gave a few perfunctory words of comfort. He couldn't tell his daughter that this was the emperor's wish. After all, after all, he still needed a nod from the superiors before he could send someone to the palace. Whose family did the emperor want to marry politically? Is there any reason to refuse?
In this way, Lan Qi didn't know about these rumors in Yingtai. They had already spread throughout the palace. It was said that Concubine Tong's sister would enter the palace next year. At the end of the year, it gradually became clear that the sixth palace would be enfeoffed. Now only Niu Hulu was the concubine.
One person, it is estimated that the four concubines will be complete after the end of the year, but there are so many concubines in the palace, and next year there will be a little Tong Jia who is also of noble birth. Duan concubine counted the four concubines to Lan Qi on her fingers that day.
The individual becomes blurry again.
When Concubine Duan talked with Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace, she also said with emotion: "Is it possible that the concubine's sister will be named concubine when she enters the palace? Otherwise, there must be a concubine position left for her."
Concubine Rong was not very happy. After all, the promotion of a concubine depends on her birth, merit, and favor. In terms of favor, she cannot compare with Wu Ya, and her birth status cannot compare with Hui Concubine or Yi Concubine. The only credit is that the heirs can take care of the palace.
Although they are all obtainable, this credit is dispensable. Only when someone cares can it be considered credit. If it is ignored, all the hard work will be in vain.
"The emperor will not do anything that hurts people's hearts. If there is no sister Rong on the throne, concubines Hui and concubines Yi, don't even think about it. That would be unfair." Duan concubine was not happy either, and even said, "I told Lan Qi that day.
When I got up, she was the first to say, "Sister, you deserve this honor."
"She has a good heart." Rong Bin lazily fiddled with the bracelet. She longed to have the same dignity as others, and she wanted to fight for it for her own benefit. She was her son's only support in the future, but she heard Duan Bin say that Lan Qi
In this case, he said unwillingly, "If she gives it to me, I don't want it. In the future, I will feel that I owe her a favor. If she is no longer the concubine, I will simply not want it."
Duan concubine advised her: "Honor is always given by the emperor. Which one you choose will definitely require the approval of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager values her so highly. Seeing that she will also be responsible for the affairs of the Sixth Palace in the future, why should my sister refuse?
, you can just sit peacefully on the concubine's throne. You have to have whatever concubine Hui has, right?"
Speaking of Hui concubine, she stayed in the palace this summer. The lingering sick bed at Jue Chan's house made her feel cold. Concubine Rong occasionally sat here, but at most she was with Yi concubine or in Yi concubine.
Kun Palace may be in Changchun Palace. When the news came that the emperor wanted to seal the Sixth Palace, the two of them also discussed it together.
What they said was nothing more than those few words, but Hui Bin reminded Yi Bin: "Sister, you should also get involved in palace affairs in the future. You should express your feelings in front of the emperor from time to time. Both the noble concubine and the concubine Wen are destined to be wealthy and idle people. They have the right to
They are born with dignity, and we should also strive for it."
But Yi Bin sneered: "I haven't seen the emperor all summer. Everyone has come back. Wu Yashi is still there alone. The emperor is really not tired at all. He still likes you so much after all these years. What should I confess to you?"
, I can’t even meet in person, so why should I express my love?”
"Look at the one in Xianfu Palace?" Concubine Hui laughed, "You are still very young. Even Concubine Wen who is not as beautiful as you can find a way to seduce Master Long live to see her, why can't you do it?
Although I am not as good as before, but after following the emperor for so many years, don’t you know what he likes and doesn’t like? When the emperor returns to the palace, my sister will help you."
Yi Bin now has no one to rely on in the palace, her only biological sister is gone. She knows clearly that Hui Bin and she are using each other, but it is better to have someone taking advantage of her than to be left alone, so she is looking forward to the emperor's return in the autumn.
She was very fond of her, and in the following days she worked harder to take care of her body and appearance, hoping that the emperor would keep his eyes on her.
Here in Yingtai, it was the first time for Lan Qi to see such a big scene as the celebration banquet. Two days before it started, Xuan Ye took her to see the decorations everywhere, and even asked her to wait at Penglai Pavilion to watch the fireworks on the water that day.
and lanterns, everyone in the palace thought that the concubine would accompany the Empress Dowager to the celebration banquet under the pretext of being a chariot, but how could Xuan Ye make such an inappropriate arrangement? How many courtiers were there on the day of the celebration banquet, if he saw one alone
If the concubine Wu Ya is accompanying you, you will definitely get into trouble in the future.
Therefore, on the most lively day in Yingtai, Lan Qi was escorted to Penglai Pavilion early in the morning. The guards and eunuchs outside were guarding the palace to prevent anyone from wandering into the palace concubines. She hugged Yin Zuo and watched the fireworks and lanterns leisurely.
Hearing the grand banquet going up the mountain and shouting long live, he was shocked in his heart. He teased his son and said, "Yinzuo, grow up quickly and make contributions to Ama. In the future, remember to bring back the wine Ama gives you at the celebration banquet to E Niang."
Share a glass."
The celebration banquet was a success. Wu Shifan was at the end of his battle. Although it would still take some time for him to surrender, it was already the end of the Three Feuds. Eight years of hard work had not been in vain. That night, Xuan Ye did not refuse the toasts of the soldiers and ministers.
, as drunk as mud.
After the banquet was over, Eunuch Li immediately sent someone to pick up Empress De Bin and wait on her. The Empress Dowager also told her not to go to her for the next few days and to focus on taking care of the emperor. Xuan Ye slept soundly until midnight and began to vomit. Lan Qi never left her side, tossing her all the way.
The emperor was peaceful at night, and slept until midnight the next day. When he woke up, he was not in good spirits, but when he opened his eyes and saw Lan Qi beside him, he felt at ease.
"Since taking office, I have never indulged myself so much. It is really inappropriate. There are still many things waiting for me to do, but I have begun to enjoy myself." Xuan Ye gently touched Lan Qi's cheek and saw
Her tired face after staying up all night made her feel distressed, "I must be a wise king. I have a great empire and a beautiful woman."
Lan Qi was so happy that she didn't feel tired after a night's sleep. Her heart was so hot that she lowered her head and kissed Xuan Ye and said softly: "Your Majesty, please give me a few days to enjoy myself with you."
How's that? You've been working too hard these past few days."
