The maids moved aside a little and saw the prince sitting on a big rock. The child was pale and sweating. Lan Qi hurriedly walked up to him and asked, "Yinreng, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you motion sick?"
Yinreng nodded feebly, feeling sick but unable to vomit. His eyes were filled with tears and he was very pitiful. Lan Qi gently touched his back and asked Huanchun to go to the car to get a mint sachet. He also heard the prince's wet nurse say: "
The prince was hungry before he got in the car, so he ate two glutinous rice dumplings. I'm afraid he couldn't digest them because the road ahead was very bumpy, so he probably felt uncomfortable."
"There are still a few days to go, so you try to let the prince eat as lightly as possible. The glutinous rice dumplings are too greasy and difficult to digest." Lan Qi did not blame them. Seeing that each of them looked uglier than the prince, she knew that Yu
When serving the prince in the Qing Palace, no mistakes can be made. If the emperor is angry about this, none of them will be able to eat and walk away.
Lan Qi called on everyone to move aside: "You guys are all here, the prince can't breathe." While reaching out to unbutton Yinreng's neck and unbuckling his belt, the prince leaned on him weakly.
In her arms, as if she didn't want her father to worry, she begged Lan Qi softly, "Empress De Fei, please don't tell Huang Ama, okay?"
"Huang Ama's chariot is in front, and he is talking to several ministers. I don't know at this moment." Lan Qi coaxed him gently, "The motion sickness will pass after a while. There is no need to talk about it after that. Do you want to do it later?"
Ride in a car with me?"
The prince nodded and had no strength to speak anymore. Lan Qi gently stroked his back and smoothed the air. He gradually heard movement in the woods behind him. The sound was neither like the wind or the footsteps of a human being. At first, he didn't care.
When the noise became louder and louder, only the first few palace maids could be heard screaming loudly, and a group of people were rolling and crawling to the ground and scattering in all directions.
Lan Qi looked sideways and suddenly saw a colorful tiger walking out of the forest. She had never seen a live tiger, a tiger in a painting, or a tiger-skin blanket in her life. A live tiger appeared in front of her eyes. She was frightened.
Her whole body froze.
There was chaos all around, and the restless sound also stimulated the tiger. It roared to the sky and clawed at the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly and the whole team was alarmed.
"Prince, Concubine De, escort... escort..." The crowd was in chaos, and a guard rushed up with a spear to drive away the tiger, but the beast was so fierce that he slapped away the spear that was pierced in front of him.
, the guards were all thrown out. The tiger was extremely angry and kept roaring. He turned around and saw the man sitting on the big rock, with a scarlet murderous look in his eyes. When he gasped, he opened his mouth and saw thick fangs, and the tiger's claws were digging at the soil under his feet.
It seemed like it was about to pounce and bite at any moment.
"Empress De Fei, I'm afraid." The prince cried loudly, and Lan Qi hugged him tightly. She couldn't tell whether it was the prince who was trembling or Lan Qi who was trembling. Looking at the guards, they were attacked by fierce tigers as soon as they got closer.
After drinking, she wanted to take Yinreng and run away, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't move. The prince was so scared that his whole body was weak, and he looked like he was going to be killed by a tiger.
At this moment, another guard came over with a spear. The tiger was furious, roared and jumped towards them. Lan Qi screamed and turned around and hugged Yin Reng tightly. She felt a heavy slap on her back, which hurt.
It made her feel that her bones were about to break. But the terror of death did not hit her. Instead, the tiger roared and rolled away to the side. Its huge body raised dust. When the wind blew it away, only a sharp arrow was seen.
It passed over the tiger's head and dragged blood all over the ground. The huge and powerful tiger twitched and gradually stopped moving.
Lan Qi felt weak all over and smiled weakly at the prince: "Yinreng, don't be afraid, it's okay." But just after she finished speaking, she was slapped heavily on the back by a tiger claw, which almost frightened the two of them.
As soon as his eyes went dark, he fainted from fright.
"Your Majesty, be careful, Your Majesty..." From the crowd, Xuan Ye rushed out with a bow. He had just heard the news that Concubine De and the Crown Prince were attacked by a tiger. When he rushed over, he saw the tiger about to pounce.
Without thinking too much, he dodged the arrows of the guards beside him. He didn't know where the divine power came from, and shot an arrow without any preparation.
In fact, Xuan Ye was desperate at that time. He would not be able to hurt the beast if he fired the arrow in such a hasty manner. He might even anger the tiger and hurt Lan Qi and the prince even more cruelly. However, with the blessing of God, perhaps this was the most accurate and powerful arrow he shot in his life.
As the tiger roared, a sharp arrow penetrated the tiger's head, killing him with one blow.
The guards surrounded the tiger while escorting him. Xuan Ye didn't care about it at all. He threw away the bow in his hand and picked up Lan Qi who was lying limply on the ground. The prince beside him was trembling with tears, and he hugged her.
Son, comforted: "It's okay, Huang Ama is here." The people behind followed, Xuan Ye handed the prince to them, and personally carried Lan Qi back to the chariot. The imperial doctor came to pinch the person and administer acupuncture.
Qi finally woke up slowly.
Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief and was surprised to see blood on his hands. He found that the clothes on Lan Qi's back were stained red with blood. The tiger claws were sharp and the thick cotton padded clothes of the court dress were scratched. He tore the clothes open and looked. Fortunately, it was cold.
It was thick, with only a few scratches. The imperial doctor pinched the bones and determined that Concubine De had no serious fractures. After that, the royal driver hurried to the local government office to rest, and then let the imperial doctor carefully diagnose and treat her.
After several twists and turns, when Lan Qi finally lay on the bed safely, she was too tired to listen to the people next to her, so she fell into a drowsy sleep. However, she didn't want to be disturbed by nightmares. The scene of being attacked by a tiger suddenly came to her eyes again, but this time it was so big.
There was only the prince alone on the stone, and he was crying helplessly. In the dream, Lan Qi rushed to save him, but was suddenly held by someone. She looked back and saw the little fourth brother under her knees.
He grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, let's go."
"The prince is still there..." Lan Qi shook her head, but when she turned around, she saw that the tiger had roared and pounced on the prince. In her dream, after she exclaimed loudly about the prince, everything in front of her suddenly disappeared.
"Lan Qi, wake up, Lan Qi." Xuan Ye's call came to her ears. She opened her eyes weakly, and Xuan Ye said to her, "The prince is fine, and so are you. Did you have a nightmare? Come on.
Just wake up, just wake up and you’ll be fine.”
"Your Majesty." The frightened person had no time to care about what he saw in his dream. He couldn't help crying when he saw Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye hurriedly picked her up and coaxed her with a smile, "Are you scared?
But you were so brave just now, holding the prince tightly all the time. If you weren't here, I couldn't imagine watching the prince being torn to pieces by a tiger. When I saw that beast pounce on you, I almost despaired."
"It was a false alarm after all, so good, so good." Lan Qi choked slightly and clung to Xuan Ye unceremoniously, "I'm scared, Your Majesty, my back hurts so much."
But Xuan Ye whispered in her ear: "You are going to be a mother-in-law again. How can a mother-in-law cry?"
After saying a word, the two of them were silent for a moment. Lan Qi looked up at him blankly, and Xuan Ye smiled and said: "You are confused, and I am confused too. When I go back now, the Imperial Grandmother will even twist my ears. I think so much."
I’m taking you out for a walk, why didn’t I think of asking the imperial doctor to check on you before I went out, but you have given birth to three children for me, why are you still so stupid, don’t you know you are pregnant?”
"My concubine is pregnant?" Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye curiously, and suddenly remembered the days when the emperor sealed the seal. Xuan Ye smiled warmly, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Isn't it just those days? I forgot
?”
Thinking of those nights, Lan Qi's face turned slightly red, but she immediately regained consciousness and asked the emperor again and again: "Is I really pregnant? But in the past few days, I have followed you to climb mountains, meditate, and ride horses.
, and now I am attacked by a tiger again." She touched her belly in a panic, and Xuan Ye's hand also covered it, sighing, "When the imperial doctor told me, I was really surprised and happy, but you can stay in your belly well like this.
Your child will be strong and healthy in the future. If it is still a daughter, I promised you that our daughter will never marry far away."
Lan Qi was shocked. Before, she had murmured whether the emperor might have said something emotional at that time, but then she forgot about it. Now she really regrets that she shouldn't have doubted Xuan Ye. After so many years, what has he not done?
In one sentence, he will forget that he has always been the person at the top of his heart.
"Your Majesty, what do you like about my concubine?" Lan Qi choked with sobs and fell into his arms again, asking stupidly, "What is it about my concubine that makes me so lovable?"
Xuan Ye's head came over, kissed her face a few times, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you earlier, because you are Wu Yalanqi, you are not allowed to cry, you are pregnant with the child."
After that, the two of them talked tenderly for a long time, and then the prince came to express his gratitude to Concubine De. Lan Qi asked the prince to sit next to her to comfort him. She could see that the child was still very scared, so she asked Xuan Ye for permission to let the prince follow her all the way.
Returning in the same car. After all, the prince was still a child and relied on Lan Qi a lot along the way. It was the first time that she and the prince were alone for such a long time. When they arrived at the imperial city and were about to get off the car and change sedans, the prince followed her and said something.
: "Empress De Fei, you are so kind."
Lan Qi just laughed. How could she have thought of something like the prince not liking her before?
Let's talk about the emperor's successful return to the palace. Concubine Wen was already very excited in Xianfu Palace. She felt that the emperor would definitely come to see her when he came back and learned that she was pregnant. No matter how ridiculous she said on the day before the Lantern Festival, for the sake of the child
The emperor would forgive her. But after waiting and waiting for the emperor to come, Concubine Wen impatiently urged Dongyun to ask if the good news about the concubine's pregnancy had been passed on. But when Dongyun returned,
But he told her that Concubine De of Yonghe Palace was pregnant.
"How come she has one too?" Concubine Wen was dumbfounded when she heard this, and all the Sixth Palace were asking this question like she was.
This time the womb was really lively. In the past, Chang Zai, who always had a low status, promised to be pregnant. With good luck, she became pregnant with the emperor's heir in one night of favor. However, those who were more noble were always unhappy in this way. Unexpectedly, they had to give birth to a baby at the end of the year.
With the blessing of the empress, good things happened all over the palace. The emperor's concubine, the imperial concubine, two of the four concubines, and the four noble empresses were pregnant. Everyone counted on their fingers. In the twenty-two years of Kangxi's reign,
Four children will be born.
There were also other voices in the Natural Palace, saying that Wu Ya's luck was so amazing that she would not be left behind even in having a child. However, she had just lost her daughter, and God was rushing to send her another child. She was afraid that
She seemed to be at a disadvantage. Moreover, the story of encountering a tiger on the way was also spread in the palace. Everyone lamented that Concubine De must be blessed if she survived the disaster. Yonghe Palace was indeed a blessed place in the Forbidden City.
As Xuan Ye expected, both he and Lan Qi were severely scolded by the Empress Dowager. The old man felt distressed and happy at the same time. He gently pinched Lan Qi's ear and said, "I asked you to call the imperial doctor to check for pulse every day.
, are you lazy again? Fortunately, this trip is to Mount Wutai and has the blessing of Buddha, otherwise how could you be so lucky?"
Later, when it was mentioned that Concubine Wen was pregnant, Xuan Ye was a little surprised. The Empress Dowager also advised her: "Go and see her when you are free. After all, the child is important."
