The imperial concubine asked happily: "The emperor is going to choose a wife for our Yinzhen?"
Xuan Ye was stunned and said with a smile: "Yin Zhen is so young, how could he choose a wife for Yi Zhen? It's for Yin Ti Yin Reng. Of course it's still early for them, but I want you to pay attention in the past few years.
When I see a good child I like, I know it well. You are the imperial concubine, so naturally I have to discuss this matter with you first, and it is something you should worry about."
"I know my responsibilities, but I am afraid that I will pick and choose and leave the chosen one to Yinzhen. Your Majesty, don't blame me for being partial." The imperial concubine was full of longing for the future, "We
It would be great if Yinzhen’s daughter-in-law is the most clever and clever child.”
Xuan Ye was not joking, he said seriously: "If you choose the good one, you will naturally leave it to the prince. I don't need to explain these words to you."
The imperial concubine looked reluctant and nodded: "I know that the future crown princess is naturally the most important." Thinking of something else, she asked the emperor, "The emperor asked me to choose the concubine, but the family background is the most important? Or maybe I don't want the family background.
Is it better to be humble and simple?"
Xuan Ye said: "Although I don't want you to value your family background, the children who can come to you must be from a noble family. A good family background is not a bad thing, so don't worry about it for the time being. Besides, appearance is secondary. Marry a wife with virtue, and children
The conduct must be upright and generous, not to mention that children can see any appearance, it will be clean, pretty and cute, so don’t worry too much about it.”
"The emperor has given so many instructions, obviously he is not at ease, and I am also uneasy in my heart. If I want to marry a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen, I have no scruples. However, the Crown Princess also asked me to come to see her, even if it is not a big deal,
The imperial concubine has been burdened enough." The imperial concubine rambled for a long time, and then asked, "It is said that choosing the crown prince as a concubine is still responsible, but why is the eldest brother's Fujin also a concubine's business? Concubine Hui is in good health, Your Majesty.
Avoiding her like this is a matter of dispute in the palace, and I am not willing to take on an extra burden. I am tired and have to be talked about behind my back."
Xuan Ye smiled bitterly. He naturally thought carefully and said: "It's not really to avoid her. It's just that you choose separately. If you are the same, which one is better? Although I am partial to the prince, I can't treat Yinti like this. You
Ah, you did such a thing for me and said so many words, can I still send you a favor?"
The imperial concubine wrapped her around softly and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I just want to be careful and ask a few more questions. Since you are sending someone, why don't you ask me clearly? This is about the inheritance of the royal family and the grand plans of the court. How can I be careless?
"?" Then he said deliberately sourly, "You are looking for a well-behaved one. The one from the Yonghe Palace next door is the best. Why are you looking for a concubine?"
Xuan Ye was angry and funny. He pushed her away gently and said, "If you really think so, I will go find Concubine De."
"No, I'm just joking." The imperial concubine quickly stopped her and started pestering her again, but she was quite happy. However, Xuan Ye saw that she was in such a good mood, as if she had completely forgotten the death of his daughter, and he didn't know what it was like.
Not wanting to be upset, she calmed down and asked her why. The imperial concubine said frankly, "I cried blindly and the child couldn't come back. The emperor should be tired of seeing her too much, so why bother?"
Xuan Ye was pleased with her calmness. Sure enough, he would feel more distressed if this was the case. If she cried and cried all day long seeking death and survival, he wouldn't know how to deal with it. Finally, he warned: "You just have to be aware of the matter of choosing a child.
, there is no need to tell the people in the palace for the time being."
But Xuan Ye told her in front of the imperial concubine. A few days later, he came to Yonghe Palace and told Lan Qi everything about choosing a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen in the future. He even comforted her by saying, "The imperial concubine is extremely excited. I wish I could find the best children in the world right now and line up to choose a daughter-in-law for Yinzhen. It seems that one day she will be very powerful and you may not be able to interfere. Don't be unhappy then, I will treat you well. Check carefully and choose a good child for Yinzhen."
"I have never thought about these things. If you do, it's for Yinzuo. I may not be relieved about other things about the imperial concubine, but I can rest assured about the fourth elder brother." Lan Qi didn't care. Geng nestled in Xuan Ye's arms and said with a smile, "Time flies so fast. When I was thrown into the dragon bed in Qianqing Palace, I was still a little girl. In the blink of an eye, I heard the emperor talking about my daughter-in-law. Why didn't I feel that these seven or eight years have passed?" It’s very long.”
Xuan Ye also sighed: "I was only in my early twenties and very frizzy at that time, and now I am thirty years old." He pinched Lan Qi's cheeks, which were as smooth and soft as tofu, and smiled. Asked, "But why haven't you grown up? Why are you still a twenty-year old after so many years?"
"Your Majesty is fooling around again. I am already six years younger than you. You are only in your thirties. How old can I be?" When it was brought up, Lan Qi couldn't help but ask, "The Emperor is thirty years old. Aren’t you going to celebrate the Longevity Festival? This matter has never been mentioned in the palace.”
"The Imperial Grandmother is here, why am I spending so much money on my birthday?" Xuan Ye said, "Celebrating the platform's victory in November is the only serious thing to spend money on. What are you doing to celebrate my birthday? Besides, E Niang is not here either. "Every time it's my birthday, I will think of her. My mother-in-law did not have a good life in the palace, but before I had time to honor her, she..."
"Your Majesty." Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye missed his biological mother, with a hint of sadness on his face, and hurriedly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry, your health is the greatest wish of Queen Xiaokang."
Xuan Ye didn't want to feel uncomfortable mentioning it anymore, so he quickly gathered his thoughts and changed the topic to talk about something else. When he mentioned the August Sutra Banquet Ceremony, he remembered that he had asked Lan Qi to serve tea in the back and let her listen to the lectures, so he said with a smile: "Are you going this time? It's just a good time to ask the child in your belly to listen. Even though she is a daughter, my daughter must also be knowledgeable."
Lan Qi shook her head softly: "I'm not going to go. It's unruly and eye-catching. I used to be young and didn't know the importance. Now I'm in the position of concubine. I can't be ignorant anymore."
Xuan Ye sighed with emotion: "If the people in the palace were half as good as you, I would be very relieved. How could you be so ignorant? But you are right. After all, you are also a mother. How can you be the same as before? Same, but didn't we agree early on to lock the former little Chang Zai here?"
The emperor's hand warmly caressed Lan Qi's chest. Lan Qi ducked away with a sweet smile, lightly punched Xuan Ye, and scolded: "Your Majesty, you don't dare to mess around. You bully me and I'm not afraid of my concubine going to Cining Palace." Complain?"
Xuan Ye frowned and said, "Whenever I bully you, it's because you don't have a good mind and think wildly."
The two were playing around, and Xuan Ye would naturally not do anything excessive. However, Lan Qi's pregnancy was very safe, which made him less worried. The two of them were more relaxed when they were together, unlike before when he was always cautious. Afraid that moving too much would make Lan Qi uncomfortable, laughter could be heard from time to time. The sixth elder brother was coming outside. Huan Chun hurriedly stopped him and coaxed him: "Huang Ama and Er Niang are whispering. Sixth elder brother is late." Would you like to come again?"
Yinzuo pouted and muttered: "I'm going to say good night. If I wait a little longer, I'll fall asleep."
Huan Chun simply picked him up and walked straight to his elder brother's house. He said with a smile, "I will tell you a story for the sixth elder brother. The sixth elder brother is really asleep. I will go and say good night for you."
The sixth elder brother acted coquettishly: "Huan Chun, can we go and play with the fourth elder brother tomorrow?"
Huan Chun agreed and coaxed the little brother back to his room. After telling stories for a long time, the little boy fell asleep peacefully. When she was about to go back with a sigh of relief, the wet nurse asked her to stay, pulled her aside and said softly, "Brother, today
While playing in the Chengqian Palace, the slave girl was standing by and heard what the third elder brother was saying to his brothers about his mother-in-law. The slave girl heard a few words, as if they were talking about the fourth elder brother, but she didn't hear them clearly.
.If the matter of the adoptive mother and the biological mother is really brought up, I don’t know if the fourth elder brother understands it. It’s not a good idea to talk about this matter casually. Can the Imperial Concubine not be angry?”
Huan Chun was also worried when he heard this, and praised the wet nurse for her carefulness, and added: "The Empress Dowager once said that people in the palace should not avoid this matter, but the imperial concubine never mentioned it, and others did not dare to talk nonsense.
Our empress was even more cruel not to mention it, so how about letting the children know about it now. Concubine Rong is not likely to mention this without any trouble, so how did the third elder brother know?"
The wet nurse said: "The princesses are not young anymore, they understand."
"Yes, yes, how could I have forgotten the princesses?" After Huan Chun told the wet nurse a few words, she went back to continue the night. When the emperor left the next day, she came in to help Lan Qi wash up. She was scolded for not going to rest, Huan Chun said.
Chun Cai dismissed the others and told the master what the wet nurse had said, which indeed made Lan Qi worried.
This matter doesn't seem to matter, but the imperial concubine is the most sensitive. This is a taboo in front of her, something that cannot be mentioned. If the third elder brother really explains it to Yinzhen later, if the child cries, won't it cause trouble for Concubine Rong?
Although the imperial concubine is now much better-tempered than before, she is still very vicious when she becomes fierce, let alone when it comes to poking her heart.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we should do? After all, the wet nurse didn't hear clearly. If we hadn't talked about this matter, we would have made trouble for both of us." Huan Chun thought about it for a whole night and had already covered everything. "I think that in comparison,
Next, it is better to inform Concubine Rong in advance. Even if it is a misunderstanding that makes her unhappy, it is easier to coax than Concubine Rong. And if it is true, I will give Concubine Rong a warning first. If there is a commotion at Fourth Brother's place, she will
I was prepared in my heart in case the Imperial Concubine made an attack."
Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "The children are getting older, and this matter will eventually have to be made clear. Sooner or later, the imperial concubine will have to face Yinzhen's questions about her. She may have thought about the answer eight hundred times in her heart, but how to deal with the children, but really
She will definitely not be willing to accept it." He asked Huanchun to rest and asked Luzhu to invite Concubine Rong. When Concubine Rong came, she thought Lan Qi was uncomfortable. When she sat down to listen to the story, Concubine Rong was shocked.
De was at a loss and explained to Lan Qi repeatedly, "I have never mentioned this matter in front of my children."
