Concubine Yi said such words, but she didn't know that Bao Yun was following Concubine Hui, which made Concubine Hui very embarrassed. She only said coldly: "Sister, take care of yourself. I have to take care of my eldest brother these days, so I can't come to see you."
If you have anything to do, ask Taohong to come to me." Without mentioning anything about Concubine Wen, she left with a straight face.
After seeing the guests off, Taohong came back and said: "What the master said just now, I think that Concubine Hui is taking care of Bao Yun, so she didn't pay attention to you. Concubine Hui always takes care of Bao Yun."
Yifei really didn't expect this, but she didn't care. She just asked the wet nurse to bring Brother Jiu to her and said happily: "I have children and everything is enough. I don't care what they do." But she couldn't help but say it.
She lamented, "I don't even know what Yinqi looked like when he was a child. I have never held or seen him for a day. Do you think Yinqi will know that he has a biological brother in the future?"
Taohong said: "Of course you will understand. Don't you know, Master? Brother Si already knows that his biological mother is Concubine De."
Concubine Yi did not mention this matter, so she asked Taohong carefully. Taohong had only heard about Taohong in the past two days. The details were not clear. There were various legends in the palace, but it seemed that Chengqian Palace was safe and sound.
, nothing seems to have happened, but I haven’t seen anyone for a few days, and they all say that Brother Si has not been out for a long time.
"In total, my luck is no worse than Wu Ya's." Concubine Yi laughed, "She used to be the only one who had two sons, and she was more proud than anyone else. Now I also have two sons. No matter what, Yinqi is still mine.
Does she dare to ask for Fourth Brother?"
Taohong said nothing, this pride is not too much, and let Concubine Yi be happy for a while.
A few days later, the emperor came to Yikun Palace to visit Concubine Yi and her son. After all, he was his own son.
The palace was envious of her good fortune, and then they waited to see what good fortune the Yonghe Palace would have. Concubine De's pregnancy was also very stable. If she got a boy again, she would be truly unparalleled if she gave birth to three children in a row.
In comparison, Xianfu Palace has always been ignored. The emperor was busy giving lectures in the past few days, and recently visited Concubine Yi. Occasionally, he also went to accompany Concubine De. Concubine Wen was in this palace, and somehow it became
She was a dispensable person, and no concubine would take the initiative to visit her on weekdays. She spent her days at home looking at Dongyun and the others.
Noble Concubine Jue Chan occasionally came to accompany her, but Concubine Wen always said something to complain about. On this day, she took the initiative to come to Jue Chan with a full belly and asked her painfully: "Has the emperor forgotten me? You asked me not to bother you.
I listened, but if I didn't bother, he would completely forget about me. What should I do to make him like me?"
Jue Chan knew that Concubine Wen knew everything in her heart, but if she didn't give up, others could only go along with her. She patiently persuaded Concubine Wen: "If your Majesty survives this period, the Emperor will know your character. If you are in a hurry, what should you do?"
What is the emperor thinking about such a ridiculous thing? Look at Concubine Yi, she has not seen much in the past few months, the most important thing is to have a good pregnancy."
Concubine Wen just cried: "Compared with the child, I want him to visit me from time to time. If I have a child without him, what's the point of having a child?"
However, with the comfort of Jue Chan and Dong Yun, Concubine Wen gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She did not dare to do anything eye-catching, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand that she was trying to gain favor. Fortunately, the emperor did not really ignore him, and occasionally
One or two visits of concern and condolences were enough to sustain her until the day of delivery.
In a blink of an eye, it is September, the Double Ninth Festival is about respecting the elderly, and the palace is very lively. The elder brothers and princesses are kowtowing to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace to celebrate the festival. The fourth elder brother who has not been seen for a long time is also here today, but he just follows blindly.
Around the imperial concubine, the brothers and sisters who were usually close to her were not as lively as before, and they were even slightly repelled.
The Empress Dowager noticed this and called him to her side. She asked him some questions lovingly, but did not mention those things. The fourth elder brother gradually became cheerful, and Duanjing's sisters came to play with him, and the children played together.
Gone.
But because the other concubines were also there, the Empress Dowager could not say anything to the Imperial Concubine, so she wanted to wait for a while before everyone dispersed and then ask her a few words. Soon Huanchun and the wet nurse led the Sixth Prince to kowtow and said that Concubine De was today
When I got up, I felt too lazy to move, so I couldn't come in person. The Queen Mother didn't care. The Queen Mother said that Concubine De was about to give birth and she shouldn't go around. The elders gave Yinzuo some gifts and asked him to find his brothers and sisters.
Play.
Today, many princes and princes outside the palace also came to pay their respects. Aunt Sumala prepared exquisite refreshments. Everyone sat and chatted. It was very pleasant. Moreover, the palace had just received a little prince, and Concubine De and Concubine Wen were waiting.
As she was giving birth, good things happened one after another, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. Just when they were talking happily, they faintly heard the cry of the child. It was inevitable for the children to get together and play, so I originally sent a few mothers to have a look.
That was fine, but then I saw the fourth brother suddenly running back, ran straight to the imperial concubine, took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, let's go back."
The fourth brother's face was clean, and he was not the one crying, but he persisted in pestering the imperial concubine to leave, and the imperial concubine had no choice but to say goodbye to the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and hurriedly took her son back.
.
The atmosphere in the palace was a little awkward for a while. Everyone could see that the Empress Dowager was unhappy, and they winked at each other, and soon they all left one after another.
Looking at the suddenly empty scene in front of the door, everyone sitting at the table had not touched the refreshments, the Queen Mother snorted sadly: "It's better to be quiet and quiet."
The Queen Mother comforted her: "They are also not very happy to see you, and they are afraid of making you angry here. The Queen Mother calms down, and I will go and ask the children what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying gradually came closer, and he saw the sixth elder brother being led in by Grandma Sumala. The little guy ran and threw himself into the arms of his great-grandmother. Grandma Sumala slowly followed and said: "Slave.
I asked several princesses what was going on and they said they were having a good time. After the sixth elder brother came, he kept chasing the fourth elder brother to talk, but the fourth elder brother always avoided him, and finally pushed him away, and the sixth elder brother fell to the ground.
I just cried on the ground. There is nothing unhappy. The children don't fight or fight. The sixth elder brother just wants to cling to the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother doesn't want to pay attention."
The Queen Mother sighed: "If Lan Qi knew about it, she would be very distressed. What happened? Could it be that the imperial concubine instigated it?"
The Queen Mother signaled the Queen Mother to stop talking and patted Yinzuo in her arms to comfort her. The little guy was so wronged that he cried for a long time and said to his great-grandmother: "Fourth brother doesn't like me now, and fourth brother doesn't play with Yinzuo anymore.
"
"Who wouldn't like Yinzuo? Yinzuo is so good. Yinzuo, listen to my great-grandmother, you are a boy, and boys can't cry all the time..." The old grandmother comforted her kindly, without mentioning who was right or wrong.
, gradually brought the topic away, diverted the child's attention, and ordered the princess's brothers to be brought again. They would all stay with her for dinner today, except that there was no need to invite the fourth brother.
When Yinzuo happily went to play with his brothers and sisters again, the Empress Dowager showed a somewhat gloomy expression, and asked softly: "Should we find the Imperial Concubine alone?"
"We said that she may not be convinced, let the emperor ask." The Empress Dowager sighed, and then asked Aunt Sumala, "Later, you will personally send Yinzuo back to Yonghe Palace and say a few words to Lan Qi.
It makes her feel uncomfortable, and the one who feels most uncomfortable now is Yinzhen. If the adults continue to make noises, things will become even more troublesome."
By the time Grandma Sumala sent her sixth brother back at night, Lan Qi had already heard a lot about the affairs of Cining Palace. Seeing that Grandma came to explain to her in person, she also asked her Grandma to tell the Empress Dowager that she didn't care.
After all, this matter is nothing in the eyes of adults, but no one knows what the child is thinking. Yinzhen is the one who is hurt right now, and she will wait patiently for the child to untie his knot.
In the Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine sat blankly by the bed and looked at the sleeping Si Age. After the mother and son came back, she did not ask her son what happened in the Cining Palace. Instead, Qinglian made some inquiries and came back to tell her that she had originally
I also guessed that there should be a conflict between Yinzhen and Yinzuo.
"Your Majesty, please go and have a rest. The servants will take good care of Fourth Brother." Qinglian came to persuade the dazed master. The imperial concubine paused for a moment, thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
"In Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not turn over the cards tonight." Qinglian replied, then paused and said, "You shouldn't talk too much, but it's not good for Fourth Brother to do this. It's clear that the empress didn't say anything, but people outside took it for granted.
You taught me."
"There's nothing you can do about it. It's better for them to point their fingers at me and make irresponsible remarks than to say that Fourth Brother is not good." The imperial concubine sighed, got up and helped Qinglian walk back, "I have said everything that needs to be said, this child's heart is
I don't know where the knot is. I have said eight hundred times that I will never send him away, but he still looks like he is always on guard that I will send him away. What should I say?"
In fact, Qinglian had an idea in her mind, but she didn't dare to mention it. After washing and changing her clothes, she heard her sighing. She was moved and boldly said, "Have you ever thought about letting Concubine De and Brother Si talk to each other?"
The imperial concubine looked at her suddenly, her eyes widened. Qinglian was startled, and she lowered her head and said, "This slave deserves to die, but your Majesty, we don't have anything else to do now, right?"
The imperial concubine was very unwilling, but she knew that it would not be good for her children or her in the long run. If Yinzhen changed his temper, as he is now, he would definitely not have any future, and she and the emperor would also disagree over it.
Intervening, even taking away Si Age, who else can make the decision for her.
"Slave, please tell me something you shouldn't say. If your Majesty is willing to handle this matter with Concubine De, the Emperor will also be happy." Qinglian persuaded her again and again, "If you put down your arrogance, Concubine De will be grateful to you."
"Okay." The imperial concubine interrupted Qinglian's ramblings angrily. Qinglian thought there was no chance, but the master ordered her, "In a few days, you go to invite Concubine De and tell her that we met by chance in the imperial garden.
Yinzhen will be wary if she comes or if I go, so let's meet in the imperial garden, I will take Yinzhen to play, and let her watch us leave and follow us."
