"Sick?" Xuan Ye was obviously not very happy. While he was chatting with Lan Qi, Chengqian Palace was joining in the fun. In the past, Concubine Wen of Xianfu Palace liked to make trouble, and now the Imperial Concubine also
Have you learned bad habits?
"Your Majesty, let's go and have a look. I saw the Imperial Concubine a few days ago and she doesn't look very good. It's only a few steps away from here. Why don't you go and have a look?" Lan Qi didn't care and pushed Xuan Ye.
When he got off the kang, he got down first and waited for him to put on his boots.
Xuan Ye was very reluctant and suddenly said: "You have also changed your clothes. Since you are sick, you should go to visit. If you are really sick, let's talk about it. If you lose your temper again, I will come back with you immediately."
Lan Qi stretched out her hand to fasten his collar, and bent down to put on his boots. Huan Chun and others heard the noise and brought their cloaks. Xuan Ye asked them to go get Concubine De's, but Lan Qi declined: "The emperor is not afraid of his ministers.
The concubine has passed away, and the imperial concubine is even more unhappy. Even if you don't care, think about how difficult it is to be a concubine."
Xuan Ye was not happy and actually muttered: "If you don't go, I won't go either."
Lan Qi knew that when the emperor had a bad temper, no matter what he said, it would not make sense. She thought that the imperial concubine had never had this problem before. She looked really bad a few days ago. She could only bet that she was really sick. She hurriedly dressed and came with him.
I saw the lights in Chengqian Palace's bedroom were brightly lit.
The fourth elder brother was led by his wet nurse to wait outside the door. The little boy's eyes were red, as if he had been crying. When he saw his father and his entourage arriving, he rushed up and asked, "Huang Ama, is your mother sick?"
Xuan Ye reassured him, let the wet nurse lead him, and walked straight in. Lan Qi smiled at Brother Si, and Yinzhen obediently came over and took Empress De's hand, as if she wanted to go in together and have a look at her forehead.
Mother, Lan Qi could only coax him: "Take Yinzhen in in a moment, and Mother De will come out to accompany you soon, okay?"
After soothing the prince, when she followed the door again, she heard the imperial doctor say: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is happy." Lan Qi was suddenly shocked and didn't know what her emotions were. Walking in, she saw the imperial concubine.
Sitting on the bedside, staring blankly at the quilt above her belly, the imperial doctor was talking nonsense, but the imperial concubine seemed to be turning a deaf ear. Lan Qi didn't understand why she looked like this, wasn't she unhappy?
Xuan Ye walked towards the imperial concubine. She looked up and saw that Concubine De was also there. There was no strange emotion in her eyes. She heard Xuan Ye say to her: "I will follow your words and tell people outside in a few months. You are afraid that the child is too stingy."
, then take good care of it.”
Lan Qi felt that she was not suitable to be in front of her, so she leaned slightly behind her and turned around to go outside. The fourth brother was waiting at the door. As soon as he saw her coming out, he ran up and asked, "Can I go see my mother?"
"Brother Si, just wait a moment, just wait for Huang Ama to come out." Lan Qi knelt down and touched Yinzhen's head. This child really likes his mother. She is happy that her son has a good character, but it is inevitable that she feels sour in her heart.
, if this child was still under his knees, he would definitely feel so sorry for himself.
Yinzhen asked aggrievedly: "Empress De, is it because I am tired and sick?" The wet nurse at the side quickly explained, "The imperial concubine was playing with her fourth brother when she suddenly felt dizzy. Fortunately, she was sitting there.
The one on the kang didn't fall."
Yinzhen reproached himself and said: "I will never be skinny again."
Lan Qi smiled helplessly: "Brother Si, don't worry too much. It's getting late and you should go to bed. Only if you are obedient will the Imperial Concubine feel at ease, right?"
The little guy immediately agreed, thanked Concubine De obediently, took the wet nurse and said that he wanted to go back to sleep. Lan Qi sent him outside. After watching his son disappear, he remembered that it was time to go back. There was no point in her staying here, Imperial Concubine.
He didn't want to see her, and Xuan Ye probably couldn't leave her. But just as he turned to leave, there was movement inside, and Xuan Ye came out and called out to Lan Qi: "The Imperial Concubine wants to see you."
"Meet my concubine?"
"I don't know what she is going to say. She seems to be in a bad mood. No matter what she says, you should weigh it carefully before answering. I will wait for you outside and will return to Yonghe Palace in a while. She doesn't need me to stay." Xuan Ye frowned slightly.
Sitting down on the edge, Lan Qi didn't dare to neglect and hurried inside.
The imperial concubine still looked the same as before. When she saw Lan Qi coming, she motioned for her to sit beside her. Seeing that she was depressed, Lan Qi took the initiative and asked: "My queen is looking for my concubine. What orders do you have?"
The imperial concubine then asked expressionlessly: "I heard that before you gave birth to the princess, the imperial doctor told you that the child could not be saved?"
"I said this earlier, but then things went well and bad, and as the children got older, I didn't say much anymore." A few months later, Lan Qi still felt the pain of breaking her bones and gouging out her heart when she thought about it, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes, "Although
Afterwards, the imperial doctor always mentioned that I made the wrong choice to keep the child, but I have no regrets."
The imperial concubine smiled bitterly: "The imperial doctor didn't say what would happen to my child this time, but when I lost my children a few years ago, they declared that I would never have another chance. This year, I had a whim and took some abortion pills.
But seeing how miserable it was for you to give birth to a princess, I was scared again, and I gave up my life for a long time. Who would have thought that Guanyin, the son-giving goddess, would come to take care of me now."
Lan Qi raised her head and looked at her. The imperial concubine's expression was soft, which was very different from usual. She said to herself: "But the imperial doctor once said that even if I have a child, it will be difficult for me to keep it. In the future, I will
I probably have to wait for him to leave me day by day."
"Don't worry, Madam, the Emperor will choose the best physician for you."
"You don't have to coax me." The imperial concubine's eyes were weak and she said slowly, "I took the pregnancy pill a while ago and I was looking forward to this day. I thought I would be crazy with joy when the time comes, but now I am not happy at all.
, I have already begun to wait for him to leave me. After all, in the past two times, no matter how much I was raised, it was useless. No matter whether it was the imperial doctor or any famous doctor found in my family, they all concluded that it would be difficult for me to give birth again. Even my family members also
They all gave up. I guess that’s why they sent my sister in again. I used to be in tit-for-tat with the Niu Hulu family, but now I’m just following her old path.”
Lan Qi felt that the imperial concubine in front of her was very strange. They were living next to each other, but they were much more peaceful than before. Moreover, every time she saw the imperial concubine, she would feel a change in her body. Today, Lan Qi could not recall the past.
What kind of face does Concubine Tong have? At that time, Aunt Sumala taught her not to become the second Concubine Tong in the future, but now she herself has been completely transformed.
"In order to have a safe pregnancy, I must not be able to take care of Yinzhen wholeheartedly, but don't think that I don't like him just now." The imperial concubine's eyes flashed with determination, and she frowned at Lan Qi, with a defensive look on her face, "I'm just a lover.
He must be neglected as time goes by, and don't think you can take the opportunity to take him back."
Lan Qi was dumbfounded when she heard this. She was really worrying too much just now, but the imperial concubine continued: "If this child is born, I will naturally take care of him wholeheartedly. It is inevitable that I will care about Yinzhen at the expense of the other, but in my heart he is irreplaceable.
Don't have any unreasonable thoughts, don't blow pillow wind in the emperor's ears and try to get back
Son, if you dare to think this way, I will never let you go. Concubine Wen is so cowardly, I thought she would continue to trouble Concubine Hui until she took the eighth prince back, but she gave up like this. It can be seen that she
It’s true that I don’t care about Eighth Brother. But I’m different. Yinzhen is my son, so don’t even think about it."
Lan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she lowered her head and agreed: "Concubine, please remember, don't worry, Madam, no one will ask Fourth Brother to leave. I came here just now, and Fourth Brother has been waiting outside anxiously. It can be seen that this child only has you in his heart.
No one can take him away."
The imperial concubine's eyes were wet, and she choked slightly and said, "You must remember what you said, otherwise, I will definitely not let you go."
"Yes." Lan Qi promised, and was relatively speechless after that. After being quiet for a while, she felt that there was no point in sitting there. She stood up and wanted to leave. The imperial concubine said again, "He will soon understand what a biological mother is and what an adoptive mother is. That's all."
It's been a few years, you let him completely belong to me for a few more years."
Lan Qi felt sad and hurriedly left after agreeing. Outside, Xuan Ye saw her look and asked worriedly: "Is she giving you a hard time?"
"Your Majesty, let's go back to Yonghe Palace." Lan Qi smiled and pulled Xuan Ye to leave. When she returned to her bedroom, she changed Xuan Ye's clothes and told what happened just now. Sure enough, the emperor also
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she comforted Lan Qi, "This is her temper and she has never changed."
"Yin Zhen feels very sorry for the imperial concubine. Anyone who looks at them looks at their mother and son as if they were his own children." Lan Qi said with joy and sadness, "I don't expect that my fourth elder brother will treat me as my biological mother more in the future. If he blindly
If you ask him to blindly destroy the relationship between mother and son, the fourth elder brother will be cruel to his concubine. Just let everything take its course, don't you think so, Your Majesty?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Are you reminding me not to embarrass my son in the future?"
"Your Majesty, I understand. This will save my worries." Lan Qi became happy, and Xuan Ye also coaxed her to tell her that the imperial concubine was pregnant, for fear that she would be jealous. Although it was not as warm as before, she still felt at ease.
They spent the night happily, and the next day there was a rumor in the palace that the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace fell ill, and there was no news about pregnancy.
In the blink of an eye, in December, Tsarist Russia was about to make a move in Yaksa, and Xuan Ye sent a general to inspect the military situation. The court was slightly shocked by this, but after all, it was the twelfth lunar month, and some happy events were needed to cheer people up, so the emperor informed the Sixth Palace that the imperial concubine had a happy event.
Unexpectedly, before everyone had time to congratulate the Imperial Concubine, good news came from Yikun Palace. The imperial doctor diagnosed that Concubine Yi was pregnant for more than a month.
Concubine Yi had been looking forward to another good news, and asked the imperial doctor to take her pulse every few days. This time, she had the news a few days earlier, but she kept it secret for fear of being unsafe. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine was the first to report it.
Concubine Yi couldn't hold it any longer, and immediately sent out the good news. The concubines couldn't help but sigh and be jealous. They don't know what the situation in the palace will be like next year.
