"Since you said you were helping yourself, then we don't owe each other anything." Concubine Wen stretched out her hand to support Gong Hua behind her bun, with a determined look on her face, "After the Emperor returns to Luan, the matter of the draft has been decided. The old
I can no longer compete with Concubine Ru Yi and the others, and I don’t know what the weather is like for the newcomers. I have nothing else to ask for, but please don’t forget Xianfu Palace. Now even the Eighth Prince is gone. I really don’t know how to do it.
It reminds him of me, but according to your words, I have already bored him by doing this and that."
Mrs. Juechan nodded and said: "In the past few months, I have taken good care of my health first. Whether you want to serve the emperor or give birth to an heir, without good health everything is empty talk. You will always have someone paying attention to the affairs in the palace.
Tell me something from time to time, I am willing to give you some advice."
Concubine Wen smiled bitterly: "You are so smart, but you don't fight for yourself. Otherwise, wouldn't Wu Yashi be able to compete with you?"
Jue Chan shook his head and said nothing, but thought in his heart that it is not difficult to fight for a word. What is difficult is that someone still has everything without fighting or grabbing. How can he beat her with intelligence and beauty?
The two were talking when there was a sudden knocking sound outside, and then there was a noise in front of the door. Both of them felt strange, and someone came to report the matter in front of the door. Dongyun came in with an inexplicable look on his face and said: "The eldest brother took the stone to
A piece of the stone lion in front of our door was smashed, and the people have already run away."
"Why did the eldest brother hit them?" Before Concubine Wen could react, Jue Chan said, "Maybe I slapped Concubine Hui because of you."
"She did give birth to a good son, but if he is really good, he will smash it if he breaks it. Why run away? Why don't you dare to say a word to me in person?" Concubine Wen sneered, and then told Dongyun, "Tell the superiors.
It’s not that I am stingy and have to argue with a child, the prince’s character is related to the country, and it is also my responsibility to manage the prince.”
Dongyun accepted the order and left, and Mrs. Juechan also stood up to leave. Concubine Wen said to her: "I will not let it go as she instigated the wet nurse to abuse the eighth prince. According to what you said, she should abandon this matter soon."
Wet nurse, I will send someone to keep an eye on her, and I must let the superiors know about this."
"If the empress pushes the wet nurse out to testify, she may lose a life, and it will not help the empress herself." Jue Chan analyzed it calmly for her, "This is a scandal in the palace, and the emperor will not investigate it with great fanfare.
You have derelict in your duty by allowing the wet nurse to have the opportunity to abuse the prince. You have to take this matter to the higher authorities, which is not good for the empress herself. The emperor does not care about you. If he is angry, it is you who are the adoptive mother.
It’s because I didn’t take good care of it.”
Concubine Wen said angrily: "Is this the end of it?"
Jue Chan shook his head: "It's good that you understand what kind of person Hui Concubine is. Compared with Hui Concubine's scheming, I am inferior to her, but she is more courageous and not as good as her. If you look at this matter again, if you
If you want to blackmail Concubine Hui with this, she will definitely come up with more cruel things to fight back against you. The best way to deal with Concubine Hui is to stay away from her and never let her see what you are thinking."
Concubine Wen listened attentively, praising Jue Chan for his thoughtfulness, but she couldn't help but feel sad and desolate, as if murmuring to herself: "The emperor originally liked me, why did he suddenly become like this?"
She was a fan of the authorities, and no matter how much others said, it was useless. The fact that her eldest brother came to vent her anger was quickly reported to the Cining Palace, but the Empress Dowager still ignored her. The eldest brother has a biological mother, and it is not appropriate for the imperial concubine to interfere.
The two were brought in front of the Queen Mother, who was naturally very angry. Taking into account the dispute between Concubine Hui and Concubine Wen, she gave Concubine Hui a rare scolding. The eldest brother defended his mother several times, but was yelled at by Concubine Hui instead.
rebuke.
Concubine Hui originally wanted to take her son back to teach him a lesson, but the Queen Mother said that now that the eldest brother was in his house, there would naturally be people there to teach him, so she sent someone to send the eldest brother back first, leaving Concubine Hui behind and said: "You have always been the most stable.
, why are there so many things happening today? There is one more thing. It was rumored secretly in various palaces before and was not mentioned publicly, but it does not mean that the emperor and the empress dowager are not aware of it. Before last year's New Year's Eve, the eldest prince made fun of the prince in person.
did you know?"
Concubine Hui's heart tightened. She knew about this, but she saw that no one in the palace said it, so she gradually forgot about it. Now the Queen Mother turned over old scores and told her: "I just made an excuse to let Yinti leave first.
Although I have been taught by someone, I still need you, my mother-in-law, to restrain him. What happened today can be said to be a child's naughty words and deeds. But regarding the prince's matter, don't wait for the former minister to come and trouble you.
, the emperor and the empress dowager have kept it in their hearts."
Concubine Hui knelt down in panic and expressed her feelings, saying that she did not dare to instigate her eldest brother to be disrespectful to the prince. The Queen Mother also guessed that she did not dare, but just reminded her again and again: "Just because you are unintentional may not mean others are unintentional. If Yinti is disrespectful to the prince again, you
It's embarrassing to be a mother, and Yinti will be disgusted by the emperor. Go back and think about it carefully, and call Yinti back in a few days. You will know how to discipline her."
Concubine Hui's heart has gone cold after all the hard work today. She understands the warmth and warmth of people in this palace best. Her eldest brother was naughty and disobedient when he was young. The Empress Dowager personally disciplined her several times. She really loves this little grandson. Today
But she ignored such things and just silently told Concubine Hui that she didn't care about the eldest son of the emperor.
"Isn't it? What she cares about most now is the Wuya family's children." Concubine Hui returned to Changchun Palace. Concubine Yi had been waiting for a long time. When talking about this matter, Concubine Yi said bitterly, "Not all in the past."
He said that being punished by the Empress Dowager is a matter of honor, even if you go to Cining Palace and kneel until your knees are broken, it is because the old man loves you that he is willing to discipline you. If you really ignore it, you will not like him anymore. Wu Ya
She is so capable that she lives in Cining Palace. Is she afraid that someone will harm her baby if she lives in Yonghe Palace?"
Concubine Hui sat aside with a cold look on her face. She had completely ignored the Empress Dowager's closeness to her grandson. She did not dare to remain silent about the incident before New Year's Eve. If she had led her eldest brother to apologize at that time, she might not have listened.
When the Queen Mother said these words, she always looked at Cining Palace when she acted or spoke. Her meaning must be what the Queen Mother meant.
A few days later, the eldest brother was taken back to the Changchun Palace by his mother and gave him a severe lesson. She even personally took him to the Xianfu Palace to kowtow and apologize. Concubine Wen did not respect her elder brother, let alone the farce of the eighth brother a few days in advance.
They made some polite remarks, and they dispersed after a short while.
Concubine Hui bravely led her son to Cining Palace again. She was prepared to be rejected. She just wanted to do this. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager saw their mother and son. When she entered the door, she saw Wu Yashi in the corridor, looking gentle.
She smiled at them: "Aunt Sumala has just steamed a basket of steamed buns stuffed with three kinds of fresh food. The Queen Mother said that the eldest brother likes to eat this the most. She is thinking about it. The eldest brother comes in quickly. Yinzuo has already eaten it.
Already."
Concubine Hui pulled her son to prevent him from barging in. She politely asked Lan Qi why she didn't go in. The frail pregnant woman smiled and said, "It's too fragrant. I can't smell it. I don't feel comfortable. Come out and get some fresh air. Sister Hui, please bring your eldest brother."
Come in, the buns are getting cold."
After saying that, she helped Huan Chun go elsewhere. Behind her, she heard the sound of her eldest brother pestering her mother to go in. He probably left after that. Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Huan Chun looked back and told her softly: "Hui
The concubine and the eldest brother have gone in. Master, let’s go back to the house and rest for a while.”
Lan Qi nodded, and then heard Huan Chun murmur: "It's a pity that Concubine Hui doesn't know that it was you who persuaded the Empress Dowager to see them, and she still can't figure out why she feels uncomfortable. I really feel that it's not worth it, and I almost asked you to be raped by the Empress Dowager."
Complain."
But she smiled: "If the Empress Dowager really doesn't want to, what's the use of my words? The Empress Dowager understands the importance of this better than I do. She is angry with Concubine Hui, not the eldest brother."
Here, Yinti kowtowed to the Empress Dowager and admitted his mistake. After a few words of admonishment, the old man asked him to take Yinzuo to eat snacks. Not to mention that the eldest brother was straightforward. In addition to being unconvinced by his younger brother, the prince, he also treated his other younger brothers and sisters.
I love you very much and feel sorry for me. At such an age, a child should be angry. He would be so angry that he would go to Xianfu Palace to vent his anger on his mother who was beaten. This is not what a scheming child can do. The Queen Mother should calm down and think about it.
, after all, I still feel sorry for my great-grandson, and I feel sorry for Concubine Hui, so I can’t blame it on my child.
At this moment, the children were eating snacks and playing outside. Concubine Hui and the Empress Dowager sat across from each other, blaming themselves and asking for forgiveness many times, keeping their posture very low.
Back in the dark night in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor said all the unpleasant things to her, but that was a matter between her and the emperor, and there was no such thing as being reprimanded or losing her temper in front of the Empress Dowager, even though they were both deeply worried.
After seeing through each other, they either disliked or hated him, and even sent Bao Yun to monitor Changchun Palace. They were polite and peaceful, and for the sake of the royal dignity, both of them still maintained their dignity.
Concubine Hui could tell that none of the few truths that the Empress Dowager was talking about were on point. She was received today all because of her son's light. Although she was inevitably lonely and desolate, it was enough. She could still
No matter what you fight for yourself, everything is for Yinti.
What made Concubine Hui even more chilled was that the Empress Dowager seemed to be concerned and told her: "The eighth prince is still a little baby. You have to work hard, but Concubine Rong is more relaxed than you. You can't be busy with things in the harem."
You don’t have to keep everyone around when you come, Concubine Rong and the concubines can take care of it, so you don’t have to worry about this draft."
Concubine Hui felt her chest hurt and burst with blood. Now it was about a talent show, and she didn’t know what it would be next time. In short, Concubine Hui’s power would be drained away bit by bit sooner or later, and she would be the one to guard it all by herself in the future.
The Changchun Palace is desolate. Why is it that she managed to get the eighth prince, but her situation is getting worse and worse? Extremely smart people are often misled by their cleverness.
As these things settled down, the Sixth Palace entered into a rare long period of peace. Lan Qi had a good pregnancy in the Cining Palace. The emperor was very happy to learn about this in the letters, saying that the journey was smooth.
The prince and he are both well, let grandma take care of herself and so on.
After that, the cold subsided and the spring became stronger. Charcoal pots and stoves were removed from all the palaces and pavilions, and the clothes on the body were also reduced. Finally, news came that the Holy Emperor was on his way back to the capital. At that time, the Empress Dowager and the bulging Lan
Qi joked: "This little thing in the belly is really annoying, otherwise it would be like before, when the emperor would stop halfway and pick up the person he liked and go out to play for a few days."
Lan Qi blushed and smiled delicately: "I was punished by you to kneel down last time, and now I feel bad thinking about it. If I go out again, I will have your legs broken when I come back. I am not stupid."
After a few jokes, the imperial concubine and Rong Fei arrived. Lan Qi stepped aside and did not dare to overstep. She only heard the imperial concubine say: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has reported that beautiful ladies from all over the country have arrived in the capital. I have come to ask for the emperor's decree. Is it time to wait?"
When the Emperor returns to Beijing and makes the selection, it is up to you and the Queen Mother to make the selection first."
