When Xuan Ye arrived at the Cining Palace, the eunuch in front of the door directly led the holy driver into the Nuan Pavilion. When he entered the door, he saw broken corals all over the ground, which were bright red. The little eunuch reminded him from time to time: "Long live my Lord, be careful where you step." Before he could reach his grandmother, he had already seen it.
Grandma was sitting cross-legged on the kang, mumbling something, and spinning the Buddhist beads between her fingers. She seemed to have heard some movement before she opened her eyes and looked at the emperor calmly.
On the other side of the clean ground, the imperial concubine was kneeling on her knees. The petite Yinzhen was sitting on her knees next to her mother. The imperial concubine's face was filled with a protective look. On the other side, the queen mother was holding the sobbing Wu'a.
Brother, this child is younger, and beside the Queen Mother, there are Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong leading the third elder brother to bow his head in silence. It can be seen that they are very embarrassed in this situation.
Xuan Ye calmed down and said with a smile: "What's going on?"
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to be very angry, but more helpless. She smiled bitterly: "It's good that the emperor is here. Please advise your imperial concubine. The Aijia said it's not a big deal, but the imperial concubine must punish the Aijia.
Punishment, no, both sides are frozen."
Xuan Ye looked at his cousin and said slightly angrily: "Why did you disobey the emperor's grandmother? The emperor's grandmother has always been kind and always punished people."
The imperial concubine was clearly the one asking for punishment, but she felt arrogant all over her body. She raised her face and said, "Yin Zhen broke the empress dowager's beloved coral, as well as the jadeite Ruyi and the Dongzhu Linglong Pagoda. They are all priceless things. With a sound
Forget it, the Empress Dowager is kind and kind, but if word spreads, others will wonder how I can protect my fourth brother. But Yinzhen is still young and cannot withstand being beaten and scolded, so I am willing to accept the punishment on behalf of my son."
Xuan Ye was very angry, but he didn't want to scold the imperial concubine in front of Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, so he blamed them both: "The imperial concubine is short-tempered, why don't you try to persuade her? Those who are a few years older than her, despite their status,
Gao and low are also sisters."
Hui and Rong were so aggrieved that they knelt down and confessed, but the imperial concubine was even more arrogant: "What did the emperor blame them for? What qualifications do they have to persuade me?"
Xuan Ye finally shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Huang Ama is not angry." Yinzhen suddenly shouted, stood up from his mother's arms, with a few tears hanging on his face, but spoke loudly to protect his mother, "Huang Ama, there are many in Chengqian Palace, no
The child's few words filled the room with silence. Children's words are the truest. Yinzhen must have learned them all the time, so he could say them without any scruples. But in this child's life, everything is jade and coral.
They are worthless things. There are indeed many rare treasures in the Chengqian Palace. It is the most magnificent place among the six palaces, comparable to the luxury of the Middle Palace. On the contrary, the previous two queens were extremely frugal and had nothing to do with it.
Doubt, the arrogant and extravagant temper developed by the imperial concubine who was born into a wealthy family is all reflected in the child.
"You taught me all this?" Xuan Ye looked at the imperial concubine sadly, imagining what kind of spendthrift dandy the fourth brother would be when he grew up in the long run. Anyway, the imperial concubine's family had money, and he would spend it for generations.
It's not over, as long as the mother-in-law keeps giving to him, that little salary will not be in his eyes at all. Thinking about how the ministers and the common people will treat the prince, Xuan Ye feels chilled.
Looking at the fourth elder brother's biological mother, Lan Qi is stingy on the face, but she wants to teach by words and deeds to prevent the sixth elder brother from developing the bad habit of not being thrifty in the future. She said that although the royal children are rich, they are afraid of spending money and living in vain. Two
In comparison, Xuan Ye could not help but regret raising his fourth elder brother in Chengqian Palace every time.
The imperial concubine quickly pulled her son back to prevent him from speaking again, and the empress dowager who was sitting in the seat finally said: "It's not unusual for children to run around naughtily and break a few things. What's strange is that this child always says these things.
Not only did he not know his fault, but he also claimed that there were many at home, and claimed that these priceless things were worthless. He is only three years old, but at the age of three he is eighty, Your Majesty?"
Xuan Ye looked grave, and saw Yinzhi beside him. He didn't know whether he was partial to Yinzhen, or was afraid that Yinzhi would also learn bad habits, so he scolded the third elder brother: "Why are you running around the house with your younger brother, your mother-in-law?"
Didn’t I teach you not to run around in the palace? Last time, you scratched your sister’s face, and you didn’t remember the words I taught you?”
Yinzhi was only five years old. Although the royal children matured early, five-year-old children were really not very mature. Yinzhi was timid and cried when his father scolded him. He covered his face and sobbed in his mother's arms.
Ye was even more annoyed: "A boy cries every time. Concubine Rong, how can you let him get used to pestering you like this?"
Concubine Rong's eyebrows were tense. Although she had not been favored over the years, the emperor never said a harsh word. For the first time, she said such a sentence. She was really wronged. She did not dare to argue, let alone annoy the emperor again.
The imperial concubine spoke again: "Why did the emperor express his anger at Concubine Rong? Children are running around and are lively by nature. Is it wrong?"
Xuan Ye wouldn't have gotten angry over a few corals and pieces of emerald, but the emperor's concubine's attitude really left him speechless. It was impossible to teach a child like this. He had to restrain his cousin, but she had the dignity of an emperor's concubine, so she was really not suitable to be a concubine.
Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, scolded her in front of her, but her cousin bumped into her and provoked her again and again. Even the Queen Mother shook her head.
Xuan Ye closed his eyes in disappointment, opened his eyes and called people to him. Everyone didn't know what he was going to do. They only heard the emperor say: "Go and ask for two rulers."
The ruler is naturally used to spank children, but for a five-year-old and a three-year-old, how should spanking be considered punishment, and how can their little bodies withstand it?
Just as the imperial concubine was about to speak, the Queen Mother had already said: "Your Majesty, it's still the New Year's Day. It doesn't matter if the children are naughty. Yinzhen scratched the coral on his hand and scratched it. It has nothing to do with Yinzhi and Yinzhen. You don't want it."
So angry."
Xuan Ye acknowledged his identity, but did not agree to fight or not. He glanced at his grandmother for a moment, and saw that the Empress Dowager was calm and calm and did not say anything.
The little eunuch quickly invited two rulers, three fingers wide. The dark brown wood had a terrifying luster. Yinzhen was so spoiled that he didn't understand what they were used for. However, Yinzhi had seen his mother.
I used a ruler to teach my sister a lesson. When she knew she was going to be beaten, she immediately cried at the top of her lungs.
But the two rulers were suddenly thrown on the ground, one each in front of the Imperial Concubine and the Rong Concubine. Xuan Ye said coldly: "You raised my son, take it back and teach him a lesson. If you do something wrong, you can't go unpunished. I don't want it."
The prince who has no future to raise will not be able to escape the blame if something like this happens again. On New Year's Day, it is not appropriate to beat or scold him in front of the Queen's grandmother and the Queen's mother. You can each take him back and beat him."
The imperial concubine looked pale and stared blankly at Xuan Ye. Concubine Rong behind her was also stunned. Concubine Hui behind her pushed her and winked, and then she tremblingly grabbed the ruler on the ground. Yinzhi was frightened.
Concubine Hui pushed her into Concubine Hui's arms to prevent her from hitting him. Concubine Hui pushed Concubine Rong and quickly kowtowed to thank her, and pulled her mother and son out of the Nuan Pavilion.
Yinzhi's crying gradually faded away, but here Yinzhen pouted and opened his eyes wide. He didn't know if he didn't know how to be afraid, or if he really wasn't afraid. He stood beside the imperial concubine and didn't cry at all.
"Imperial Concubine, the Emperor has granted you a favor. Go back with the ruler. Yinzhen is still young. Just hit her twice to scare her. Don't hit her too hard." Seeing that her mother-in-law was silent, the Queen Mother spoke up herself. When the Imperial Concubine looked at her,
She immediately frowned and winked, telling her to leave quickly. No matter how stubborn the imperial concubine was, she was not stupid. She reached out and grabbed the ruler in dissatisfaction, kowtowed in gratitude, and pulled her son away.
There was silence in the palace again. The wet nurse came and took away the fifth elder brother. The queen mother stood up and looked at the broken jewelry on the ground. She smiled and said: "Every year is safe. I asked the craftsmen to use them to make earrings and hairpins, and also made a batch of jewelry.
, Your Majesty, please reward the children again."
The Empress Dowager nodded, and then she bowed to leave, leaving her grandfather and grandson alone.
Come here and lose your temper, but are you worried about these children, or are you angry because of the imperial concubine?"
Xuan Ye confessed: "If Lan Qi knew about it, she would feel extremely uncomfortable."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "So you are not happy here? But if you are really unhappy, Lan Qi will feel uncomfortable. For a three or five-year-old baby, just teach him slowly. I let you take a look, just because I want to
The imperial concubine is calmed down. Although Yinzhen is young, she is polite, cute and generous. She has taught her well, but her problem of not cherishing things and being lavish has not happened once or twice. Before, I always thought that maybe the child was not sensible, and it happened several times.
I thought it was time to take care of it, because it must be the fault of the imperial concubine who was born into a wealthy family, and all the problems were passed on to her children."
Xuan Ye nodded and said: "What the Imperial Grandmother is worried about is that even though she is a member of the royal family, she should not have such a problem, otherwise no matter how big the country is, it will be defeated by them in the future."
The Empress Dowager advised: "It doesn't have to be so serious. As long as you pay attention, I still have the energy to watch for you."
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly: "It is said that Concubine De is from a humble background and is not worthy of my love or the dignity of the concubine. But her words, deeds, and moral character are not as good as those of these young ladies from aristocratic families. Only those from a humble background know what suffering is in the world. She looked at it
Silly, she understands everything in her heart. Yinzuo is only so old, but she is already worried that her son will be arrogant and licentious in the future. She has restrained everyone in the palace, and she is reluctant to use red charcoal when she is pregnant with her child. "
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed: "Are you angry, or are you praising her, Lan Qi is good, I will use you to say that you don't want to waste anything when you do things here. Sumala has said this to her several times.
"
Xuan Ye smiled a little now. This was the first time he heard that when Lan Qi was in charge of the Cining Palace, he also restricted the expenses of the servants to prevent them from wasting money. Originally, everything in the Cining Palace was
Everything that is good in the palace is sent here. The maids are used to wasting tea and cooking. Aunt Sumala also turns a blind eye. However, Lan Qi has come here in recent years.
Save a lot of money every year.
When Xuan Ye left, he also said: "When she gets better, it's time to slowly let her take charge of the Sixth Palace."
