But the Empress Dowager said that managing the Sixth Palace requires a lot of effort. Now that Lan Qi is young, she still has a lot of youth to accompany Xuan Ye. If she is in good health in the future, she will naturally have more children. Only good mothers will be born. Producing good children will allow Xuan Ye not to worry about the affairs of the Sixth Palace for the time being. Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong have not yet become addicted to the title of concubine, so it is not appropriate to weaken their power to avoid further trouble.
Xuan Ye felt deeply that the imperial grandmother was thoughtful, so he followed his grandmother's advice and was not in a hurry to let Lan Qi touch the affairs of the Sixth Palace for the time being. However, he left Cining Palace and did not return to the Qianqing Palace. Instead, he came to the Sixth Palace in the East. I originally thought that the emperor was going to Chengqian Palace or Yonghe Palace, but the emperor bypassed these two places and went straight to Jingyang Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Yinzhi crying, and even Rongxian cried and shouted: "Eniang, please stop beating me, please stop beating me." As a New Year's Eve person, I was really upset when I heard such cries. I only waited for the announcement that the emperor had arrived. Stop.
Concubine Rong came to the door and knelt down to salute. Xuan Ye helped her up. Seeing that her eyes were red, he couldn't help but said softly: "I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so I came to have a look after leaving the imperial grandmother. I just got angry. I didn't say those words to you, I had to give the imperial concubine face, so I could only wrong you."
When the emperor said this, Concubine Rong couldn't control herself even more. Xuan Ye laughed and said: "I haven't seen you shed tears for many years. I feel very distressed when I see you. But don't cry anymore. Didn't you just teach your son a lesson? They still cry when you shed tears." How to be convinced?"
Looking further inside, I saw the two siblings who were usually at each other's throats clinging tightly to each other. Yinzhi cried so hard that he couldn't stop crying. Rongxian hugged his brother and looked at his parents aggrievedly. Xuanye approached them, and Rongxian choked and begged: "Huang Ama, Yinzhi is still young. It's my son who didn't take care of his younger brother. Can you ask E Niang to beat my son and stop beating my brother?"
The ruler was crooked on the ground, and Yinzhi was crying pitifully. Xuan Ye pulled him out of Rong Xian's arms and opened his palm to see that his left hand was indeed swollen with a few red ribs. When he wanted to write with his right hand, he hit the palm of his hand with his left hand. Xuan Ye did this when he was a child. The emperor was even slapped on the palm by the imperial grandmother, so he naturally remembered how painful it was. He smiled and patted his son on the head and said: "Ama doesn't like you crying. I won't spank you anymore. Isn't Ama here? Don't cry." Already."
The little guy is so wronged. He really didn't do anything wrong today. It's just that the brothers were playing around a little bit. He was not the one who broke the coral and jade. Yinqi's injury had nothing to do with him. He was injured for no reason. After being scolded and beaten, he cried even more sadly when his father said this. Xuan Ye was not angry and hugged and coaxed him for a while. Concubine Rong was afraid that her son would really anger the emperor if he cried again, so she quickly came up and asked her daughter to take her brother away. .
"Rongxian has the dignity and majesty of a princess, and also has the love and care of a sister for her younger brothers and sisters. You have taught Rongxian so well, how can I not trust Yinzhi. Although he is young, he is an older brother after all, and he will inevitably suffer in the future. Some grievances." Xuan Ye took Concubine Rong to sit down and comforted her, saying, "When your son is wronged, your mother will inevitably feel wronged as well, but remember, I will never wrong you. If things are like this today, after I finish speaking, I will I regret it, I thought I must come and see you first."
In the past ten years, although Concubine Rong was not as good as Wu Ya's current situation, she was still one of the best women in the palace who could stay with the emperor for a long time. After so many years of love and giving birth to so many children, the tacit understanding and harmony between them Everyone understands the affection in their hearts. But women are all stingy, and Concubine Rong is no exception. Over the years, she has accumulated some resentment in her heart. When she spanked her son just now, it felt like venting. The spankings were very hard. Now Listening to these few words of Xuan Ye, I felt that I should vent my feelings and let go of my feelings, but I couldn't control my tears no matter what. I was laughed at by Xuan Ye before I slowly restrained myself.
"Yinzhi's temperament is softer, probably because he has played with his sister since he was a child. I will teach him well." Concubine Rong wiped her tears and smiled softly, "Anyway, he should go to the study in two years.
, Your Majesty, you can’t blame me for not managing my concubine well.”
Speaking of this, Xuan Ye said: "In order to appease Concubine Hui, the imperial grandmother said that like the eldest brother, the children would live in the elder brother's house after they went to the study. From then on, other princes also followed suit, but it was just a word,
You don’t have to worry, I’m going to let Yinzhi follow you, and when he’s older and moves into my elder brother’s house, I can rest assured that you can teach your son.”
Concubine Rong was very happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. At first, she told Concubine Hui that she would be the same in the future, and she didn't want to be targeted only by Concubine Hui and the eldest son of the emperor. Now that Xuan Ye has personally agreed, he will not change easily.
She didn't expect to keep her son for a long time, at least she wouldn't have to worry until he was twelve or thirteen years old.
Concubine Rong said gently: "Yinzhi is always the younger brother following Rong Xian. He is indeed more pampered. I will let him understand that he is the older brother in the future."
Xuan Ye knew that there was no need to say more, and after a few words, he gradually mentioned that he fasted in Jingshan in February and then visited the mausoleum eastward. He asked Concubine Rong: "Concubine De's pregnancy is not very stable. When I am not at home,
You should take more care of her. She has a tough temperament and won't express it easily, so you should pay more attention to her."
Concubine Rong pretended to be stingy: "Your Majesty, please tell me more, I must be careful. I treat Lan Qi as my own sister, how can I not bother?"
Xuan Ye was very satisfied and laughed at her hypocrisy, but then Concubine Rong persuaded him to go to Chengqian Palace to see the imperial concubine, but the emperor said: "I gave her enough face in front of everyone, but she has lost my face. Does she know?"
"
Naturally, the Holy Emperor will not come to Chengqian Palace today. The imperial concubine herself also knows that she has angered the emperor, but her lack of concern for gold, silver and jade is really not something worth making a fuss about in her mind.
She always felt that even if Yinzhen lived a lavish life in the future, she would still be able to support her son.
But the imperial concubine is neither stupid nor stupid, and of course she understands why the empress dowager and the emperor are angry. Although she can afford it, and their Tong family has plenty of money, Yinzhen is the prince of the Aixinjueluo family, and the Aixinjueluo family does not allow children.
She couldn't raise a squandering playboy who was arrogant and extravagant. Otherwise, if she just scolded him a few times today, she might have her precious son imprisoned in the clan's mansion in the future.
At this moment, the ruler is in hand, and the imperial concubine is sitting cross-legged on the kang. The little Yinzhen is sitting opposite with her lips pouted and wiping her tears. Just now, a ruler was slapped on her left hand, and the little guy didn't say a word. The tears fell down.
Quite a few, just don't open your mouth to cry.
"Stretch out your hand, there are still two more blows." The imperial concubine glared at her son, but Yinzhen hid her hand behind her back, shook her head and said, "Don't hit me, mother."
"Reach out your hands." The imperial concubine reiterated, but Yinzhen refused. She lost her patience and was already full of anger. She rushed over and pulled out her son's left hand. She slapped her son twice, and red marks appeared on her tender white hands.
, these two blows were so painful that the little guy couldn't hold himself any longer, so he cried at the top of his lungs and got into his mother's arms to act coquettishly.
The imperial concubine herself burst into tears, threw down the ruler in her hand, hugged her son and said, "Yinzhen, it's really not easy for E Niang to take care of you. You are not E Niang's son. E Niang treats you well or bad no matter what."
Being criticized by others, and your great-grandmother doesn’t like E Niang, E Niang is really having a hard time..."
This was the first time that the imperial concubine said this, but now the fourth elder brother was crying so loudly that he could not hear it. Even if he heard it, he might not be able to understand. The mother and son were holding each other and crying. Qinglian looked on helplessly. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was angry.
She had a high temperament. After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears. She held her son's hand and kissed him again and again, and kissed him on the cheek to comfort him. She said firmly: "Eniang will teach you well. We Yinzhen must be the best."
Prince."
After saying that, she ordered Qinglian: "Pack up the things in Brother Si's house, replace all the pearls and gems used to learn counting, and go to the imperial garden to find some pebbles to replace them. We will ask for them in Chengqian Palace in the future.
Keep a low profile and take your time."
What happened in Cining Palace gradually spread to the Sixth Palace, and Lan Qi also heard more or less about it. She also knew that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were given a ruler by the emperor and were beaten when they came home. Later, Concubine Rong was beaten fiercely.
After a few pats, she heard that the fourth elder brother had also been crying for a long time. She felt distressed, but she said hard-heartedly: "Bad habits must be corrected. Children will not be effective unless they are beaten."
Huan Chun said with a smile: "When our sixth elder brother meets a lady like our master, he has planned to break a copper plate into two halves since he was a child. He will never be beaten for these things in the future."
Lan Qi was angry and funny. She pointed at the charcoal pot and said, "The charcoal is still burning in a grand manner. I told you that you didn't. I really want to ask Sister Rong to borrow a ruler and give you a good beating."
Next to her, Xiangyue smiled and said proudly: "This is the will of Lord Long Live. Your Majesty can't beat the slaves."
But Huan Chun scolded her: "What are you so proud of? Yesterday, you broke a blue and white porcelain amphora, and I haven't dealt with you yet. There are so many treasures in Yonghe Palace, but they were all broken in your hands. Don't you think that your Majesty will do it?"
It’s just a matter of care, why don’t we send you somewhere else to try?”
Xiangyue quickly pulled Lan Qi to ask for help. Lan Qi was overjoyed. The master and slaves burst into laughter. No one was unhappy. After all, this matter was a good thing for Lan Qi. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor could come forward to restrain the Imperial Concubine and teach her.
The fourth elder brother is the best thing, and she doesn't blame the imperial concubine. After all, she has been accustomed to wealth since she was a child. She did not deliberately teach the fourth elder brother to be like this. It is the life in Chengqian Palace that he has always lived like this.
Something like this happened before the Lantern Festival, and it was neither good nor bad. The little brothers were beaten and acted coquettishly, and then passed away. However, the emperor stayed in Jingyang Palace for two days. Concubine Rong seemed to be a blessing in disguise, but
There were also things that embarrassed her.
When the emperor was resting in Jingyang Palace the first night, Concubine Wen complained that she was not feeling well again. However, when the news came, Concubine Rong kindly persuaded the emperor to go and have a look, but Xuan Ye said angrily: "I am not an imperial doctor."
Concubine De Rong didn't dare to talk any more. She came again later and was sent away just the same.
Niu Hulu, who was emotionally unstable during pregnancy, could not bear the grievance. She was sent back again and again. Listening to Dongyun's perfunctory explanation, she cried in grievance and said: "Didn't you say that no one dares to mess with the imperial concubine?
Why don't you even dare to mess with Concubine Rong now? Is Concubine Rong more valuable than the Wu Ya clan?"
