"Sister wants to raise the eighth prince?" Concubine Yi frowned slightly, probably because she found it difficult, and said softly, "Even if Concubine Wen doesn't like it, she may not be willing to let him go. He is still a son raised under her knees, now or in the future.
Her kindness and merit.”
"That's true, so we can't take it from her. We can only wait for her to get tired of it and give it away." Concubine Hui smiled affectionately at Concubine Yi, "Once Concubine Wen no longer wants her eighth prince, the imperial concubine will not despise eighth prince.
, among the four concubines, Concubine Rong and Concubine De have no time to take care of themselves. As long as my sister doesn't speak, this child will naturally come to Changchun Palace."
Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't you trust me? I don't care about the son of the Juechan family. I also hope that my sister will help me and let the emperor come to Yikun Palace. I hope that I will have another son to raise."
Concubine Hui smiled bitterly: "Yes, my sister still has hope when she is young, but I have no hope. The seventh elder brother is born with a deficiency. If I want to raise him, I am afraid that others will point fingers and say that I am too diligent, so the eighth elder brother is the best."
"But it is easy to say this, but it is really difficult for Concubine Wen to send the child out by herself. After all, the Juechan clan is in Xianfu Palace. If she doesn't want to bother with it, she can just leave it to the Juechan clan." Concubine Yi always felt that
Not too bad, he thought, "Unless there is something that she hates or is taboo about..."
As she spoke, she looked up at Concubine Hui, and saw that she was smiling confidently and proudly. She said in line with Concubine Yi's words: "Of course there must be something big to do. Otherwise, how could Concubine Wen be willing to let go? When the time comes, my sister will help me say a few words. Then
The two of you who don't want to talk can't talk. It's all our business. And the Xianfu Palace is very busy right now. Concubine Wen has enough trouble to do by herself. She can just pick any thing to make a fuss about, and I don't need it.
Think hard."
Concubine Yi pointed outside and whispered: "Will they go to Cining Palace to report it?"
"So what? I have to do something that is harmful to nature. Concubine Wen has never taken care of the eighth prince." Concubine Hui was very calm and said disdainfully, "Don't say that if the two palaces don't agree, Concubine Wen will really make trouble."
If the child is pushed outward, even the emperor may not be able to control it. This little Niu Hulu is much more powerful than her sister."
Speaking of her sisters, Concubine Yi couldn't help but think of her sister who had a bad fate. She also said that the draft would be held in the spring next year. Now that the four concubines are complete, I don't know what the situation will be like when the sister of the imperial concubine enters the palace. She kept talking like this for a long time, waiting for Concubine Yi to leave.
When she was about to leave, she saw Bao Yun standing at the door. She didn't know how much she heard what was said inside. Yi Fei felt guilty for a moment and decided not to interfere in the eighth prince's affairs. Let's see how far Hui Fei can go. In the next two days,
I won’t come to Changchun Palace anymore.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the palaces are decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome the new year. It is always the old custom for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. All palaces and courtyards have prepared gift red envelopes. The more attentive ones have been sending gifts to various places since Laba to solicit favors, and there are also big envelopes.
The joy of the Sixth Palace, such as Lan Qi's, Yonghe Palace rushed to open a room to pile up the gifts received at the end of the year, and the Huanchunguang gift list was filled with a thick stack.
As the fetus gradually grew, Lan Qi's body also recovered. She was still very weak on the day she was granted the title of concubine, but after seven or eight days of raising her, she was better than at the beginning of the month. The imperial doctor could finally report to the two palaces with peace of mind, and no longer speculated.
Courageously report good news but not bad news.
However, the emperor has never been here. Although he sends people to greet him every day, he often goes to Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen's pregnancy has caused a lot of trouble. Everyone in the palace knows that, in private, even the nobles disdain Concubine Wen for being so pretentious.
.But Lan Qi became more and more calm.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor had dinner at Cining Palace and brought his eldest brother and the prince with him. When leaving, the emperor asked people from Yuqing Palace and his elder brother to send his two sons back respectively, while he sat down
After getting into the warm sedan chair, they were going to Yonghe Palace. The eldest brother and the prince waited for their father to leave first before getting into the warm sedan chair respectively. Yinti was shivering from the cold and was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by his nanny, who said softly: "
The prince hasn't boarded the sedan yet, please wait a moment."
Yinti was very unconvinced. He looked back at his younger brother angrily and muttered, "I'm still the elder brother. Does it mean that if I become a prince, I won't be a younger brother? Then he won't even be his son or grandson, just be his prince."
alright."
The attendants on both sides were a little embarrassed. Yinreng also heard these words of his brother. He smiled affectionately and walked over, pushed the nanny away, pulled his brother and said: "Brother, you are wearing thin clothes, come on quickly."
Let's go in warm sedan." He even turned around and scolded the slaves, "How are you serving me? Don't let the eldest brother freeze to death."
Yinti felt uncomfortable. After all, he was young and didn't know how to be diplomatic, so he got into the sedan chair angrily. The prince looked at it and smiled, then turned and walked away.
This small conflict in front of Cining Palace was noticed by many interested people. Before the two young masters could go back, everything that should be known and should not be known was spread.
Xuan Ye went straight to Yonghe Palace. The snow fell this afternoon and stopped in the evening. He got off the sedan chair and saw that the snow in front of the Yonghe Palace had not moved. The little eunuch who knocked on the door left a series of footprints. He remembered that he had asked someone to leave the palace in the past.
Snow accumulated in front of Hedian for two days, just to satisfy Lan Qi's desire to walk in the snow and watch the snow. Now that I think about it, she was so young and energetic. For the sake of the person she likes, she still did a lot of stupid things that seem very frivolous now, but
I also thought, since I can make the one I love smile, it is worth it after all.
The door of Yonghe Palace opened quickly. I didn't know that the emperor would come. It seemed that the place had rested early. The little eunuchs quickly swept away the snow in front of the door. Xuan Ye walked in again and saw Lu Zhu going in to report, so he stopped her.
Question: "Is your master sleeping?"
"Your Majesty is talking to Sixth Brother. She is lying down. She is not asleep yet." Luzhu responded, came up and took the snow cloak that the emperor had taken off, and opened the thick door curtain.
Xuan Ye felt warm when he entered the room, but the lingering smell of medicine made his heart tighten. Thinking that Concubine Wen was obviously fine and her mother and child were safe, but the hospital was in a hurry every day, but Lan Qi was really weak, but she didn't say a word.
, just take care of yourself and have a good pregnancy. Show your superiority immediately, no matter whether he likes this or not, just look for others to see, no one will like an unreasonable person.
Approaching the inner hall, I heard the babbling voice of my son. Yinzuo was already babbling, and his mother-in-law called Delisuo. He was not very good at speaking in a sentence, but he liked to talk very much. When he was in a hurry, he would chatter without knowing what he was talking about.
, Lan Qi imitated him and chirped, and the mother and son said something to each other, as if they were quarreling. Xuan Ye came in and saw them cuddling on the bed, his son's face turned red, and he couldn't help laughing at Lan Qi: "You can only bully your son now.
That’s what I’m capable of.”
Lan Qi was a little panicked when she first saw Xuan Ye coming. She was disheveled and her black hair was scattered. Her younger brother was extremely happy to see Ama. Although father and son rarely met, they were connected by blood. The little one recognized that this man was his father.
Even if we rarely see each other, I still remember him well. At the moment, I was having a fierce quarrel with my mother, and when I saw my father, I opened my hands to hug him.
Xuan Ye held Yinzuo in his arms and tickled him to make him laugh. His son was acting coquettishly in his arms. He turned around and saw Lan Qi busy doing her hair. He stretched out his hand and slapped him with a smile: "What are you busy with? It's not like I haven't seen you before."
Like this."
But Lan Qi muttered: "I read in a book that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Li, did not see the emperor before her death. She did not want to show her sick and haggard appearance to the emperor, so that he would always remember her beauty that overwhelms the country and the city..." But suddenly there was a snap.
With a loud sound, Xuan Ye slapped Lan Qi on the mouth moderately, scaring her so much that she covered her mouth and kept silent. Looking at the emperor again, he said with a cold face, "Young Yan Wu Ji, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year?
Yes, if you weren't so fragile with a child, I would definitely send you to Cining Palace and let the Imperial Grandmother teach you a lesson."
Seeing that his father was angry, Yinzuo quickly acted coquettishly to make his father happy, but he didn't know that he was hindering his parents' intimacy. Not long after, Amma patted his butt and coaxed him to sleep. When the wet nurse came to take him away, the little brother was still very nervous.
He whimpered twice reluctantly.
After sending his son away, Xuan Ye called someone in to help him change his clothes and wash himself. He only waited for him to put on his pajamas and sat down next to Lan Qi. The eunuchs and maids all left. He smiled and said, "I'm used to you taking care of these things.
Their hands and feet are really clumsy."
But the people around him didn't speak. Xuan Ye looked at her sideways, covering his mouth and keeping silent. He felt hurt and funny in his heart. He came over and pulled her hand away, kissed her lips twice, and asked gently: "Hit me."
Does it hurt? I didn’t use any force, I just patted it.”
But Lan Qi pushed his hand away, lowered her head and said to herself: "The emperor hasn't come to see me for so long, and when he comes he beats and scolds me. It turns out that Concubine Wen is very noble when she has a child. Concubine
He is just not as good as human beings and deserves to be given bowls of medicine every day."
Xuan Ye burst out laughing when he heard this, and Lan Qi couldn't help but laugh softly, "Isn't it annoying for the emperor to hear my concubine say such things?"
"Others say it must be annoying to hear, but everything you say is interesting. I haven't seen you for a few days, and I like to hear everything you say." Xuan Ye responded to her with a smile, but soon broke out and laughed, "This kind of
Do you like what I’m saying? It’s really uncomfortable for me to say it.”
The person next to her smiled contentedly and fell into her arms. She found a comfortable position and calmed down unceremoniously. Xuan Ye gently brushed her hair, and his fingers were as cool as silk. He couldn't help but smile and said: "
I heard Aunt Sumala say Polygonum multiflorum is the most moisturizing hair, and she asked the Queen Mother to use it to reduce gray hair. Your hair is so good, do you use it every day?"
"I don't need it a long time ago. Now I'm so tired of taking medicine every day, why bother with all this." Lan Qi said and sat up, took Xuan Ye's hand to touch her cheek, and asked proudly, "Your Majesty, is it slippery?
?”
Xuan Ye caressed it greedily. The skin was tender and smooth. The body in front of him was indeed much better than before. His face was not only round, but also flushed and full of energy. This made him let go of the worry of smelling the smell of medicine just after he entered the door.
.
"Mommy personally made the paste for me. When the northwest wind blew, Huan Chun's face became chapped. I have always been as tender as tofu." Lan Qi excitedly came up to let Xuan Ye smell it, and she was proud of it.
He asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me what the flavor is? Grandma used several kinds of flowers to make it."
The skin was touching each other, and the soft body was twisting in the arms. Xuan Ye felt a little warm in his heart. He quickly pushed her away gently and frowned and said: "You can't do this. What should I do if you offend me? Are you going somewhere else in the middle of the night?"
Don’t you want to cry all night?”
Lan Qi suddenly understood what was going on. Thinking about the night and night sex in Yingtai, her face became even redder with embarrassment. Her coquettish behavior just now had unintentionally provoked the emperor, so she quickly did it peacefully, and soon the two of them
They all lay down, Lan Qi nestled in Xuan Ye's arms, and listened to him: "You also know many things during the New Year. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you often. I also planned a Lantern Festival banquet for the ministers, enjoying the lanterns and reciting poems, before and after
I won't be able to come to Yonghe Palace in those few days, so I've been thinking that you will definitely come. If you feel uncomfortable and want to see me, ask Huan Chun to tell me."
Lan Qi responded and understood, but then heard Xuan Ye say: "After the first month, in February to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, I will go to Jingshan to fast, and then I will take the prince east to visit the mausoleum, all the way to Shengjing, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it until April or May.
Return to Beijing."
"The emperor is going out for so long?" Lan Qi moved away and looked at Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Actually, I decided to take you with me on the trip that I made early, but then you became pregnant.
After hesitating for a long time, I have to go on this trip, so I can only leave you behind. I will send someone to take good care of you. The emperor's grandmother and the emperor's mother are also in the palace. I am very relieved about this, but I just don't trust you. This
I have been hearing from the imperial doctor for a few days that you are getting better and better, but I still feel uneasy."
"My concubine will not give birth until June, and the emperor will return to Beijing in April or May." Lan Qi smiled, "Your Majesty, please travel with peace of mind. I will have the baby in the palace obediently. As long as you don't mind my paunchy appearance when you come back.
Ugly, just spend more time with me, my concubine."
"How could I dislike you?" Xuan Ye was pleased. Although he was worried, he had to take this trip and asked Lan Qi again and again, "Can I really leave the palace with peace of mind?"
"I can't bear to leave you. It's best for the emperor not to go out." Lan Qi confessed what was in her heart, but then stretched out her hand to hold Xuan Ye's face and said proudly, "But in this way, the emperor owes me a favor. Concubine
When I talk to you later, my waist will be straightened."
Seeing her like this, Xuan Ye stopped worrying, saying that he had no favors to owe, but Lan Qi refused. The two laughed and entangled, and no one mentioned the farewell later. They spent the night in peace and joy, and the next day, New Year's Eve, many etiquettes
Waiting for the emperor to do it, naturally there is no time to meet.
Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the happiest thing about celebrating the New Year is the children. Wearing the newly made auspicious clothes, the elder brothers and princesses are all as beautiful as the fairies from the New Year paintings. They lively give birth to great-grandmother and grandma in Cining Palace.
The imperial grandmother kowtowed to pay New Year greetings and received the New Year's money. There were too many children and they were chattering so much that the old man had a headache. Naturally, they dispersed soon after.
Most of the other elder brothers and princesses were led by E Niang. When the fourth elder brother went out, there were guests, so the imperial concubine did not follow him. Now when he returned to Chengqian Palace, the guests had left, and Yinzhen came to find E Niang holding a big red envelope.
My mother was showing off, but I saw my mother was raising her head to drink the medicine. After drinking, her brows were furrowed and tears welled up in her eyes. The little guy ran over anxiously and threw himself at the imperial concubine's knees and asked, "Mother, are you sick?"
