One sentence made Lan Qi burst into tears. Being able to receive sincere comfort from her son, it seemed as if all the pain in her body disappeared. But when Yinzhen saw her crying, he became anxious, and the little guy ran away without looking back.
In fact, people on both sides were not far or near to wait on her, and soon someone came to help De Fei. Although Lan Qi worked hard, she would not be as panicked as before with her childbirth experience, and she calmly treated Huanchun and the others.
Said not to worry.
Everyone here escorted Concubine De back to Yonghe Palace. Someone with quick legs and feet had already come back to prepare. By the time Lan Qi was carried back, everything was ready. The imperial concubine also led her fourth brother to follow. She secretly regretted that she should not have done so.
Choosing this key point, if something happened to Concubine De, the emperor would hate her.
"Fourth brother." The mother and son were still standing in the courtyard when they suddenly heard a sweet voice. Yinzuo jumped up and ran from the side. He still liked his brother so much. He seemed to have forgotten what happened on the Double Ninth Festival, and he seemed to have something to do with it.
So worried, I didn't rush up to my brother immediately, but stood very close to him and said in a sweet voice, "Brother, are you here?"
However, Yinzhen said to him like an elder brother: "Why don't you be polite when you see my mother-in-law?"
Yinzuo pouted and was reluctant, but the imperial concubine smoothed things over, saying that his brother was still young and told him not to be so serious. But when Yinzuo awkwardly saluted, Yinzhen took his hand and said: "Concubine De.
Your Majesty is about to give birth to a baby. Let’s wait elsewhere. The adults here are too busy to take care of us.”
Seeing that his brother was getting along with him again, Yinzuo's face was as happy as flowers, and he followed the fourth brother to his room. The imperial concubine looked at the two children's small figures so happy and happy, and felt warm in her heart.
It's sweet, but on the other hand, I have to feel sad that she is not lucky enough to have such a good child.
Not long after Concubine Rong arrived, Concubine De's birth was notified to the Sixth Palace. Before the Yonghe Palace had time to dig into the wedding, the Empress Dowager ordered Concubine Huang to take charge of the ceremony. They were busy with these matters, and from time to time some news came out, De
The concubine did not seem to be going well. The imperial concubine was worried that the emperor would blame her for causing Concubine De to give birth suddenly. She felt guilty and complained from time to time: "She has given birth to her fourth child, why is it still so difficult?" and asked Concubine Rong what was wrong.
In this way, Concubine Rong smiled bitterly and said she didn't even remember.
In the eyes of the concubines of the Sixth Palace and the ministers of the imperial court, it is extremely important for Concubine De to give birth to a boy or a girl. If she has another son and can survive successfully, and with the support of her three sons, Concubine De's future is limitless. Nowadays, there is still a concubine.
If there is a vacancy, even an imperial concubine in the future may not be out of reach. As long as the emperor is willing, what does the system and rules mean? Moreover, it is very likely that the imperial concubine will be promoted to empress in the future, and the adopted son of the imperial concubine will be the son of De Fei.
If these two people join forces, one has a noble birth and the other is favored, no matter how difficult it is for others to have a place in the harem, the Tong family's power in the court will also expand day by day.
But only the emperor knew, and only Lan Qi and the Empress Dowager knew that no matter whether she was a boy or a girl, they would not stay with her. After the child was born, she would be sent to Ningshou Palace. It turned out that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor still felt sorry for her.
, asked if she wanted to stay a little longer, she said cruelly: "It will be difficult to let go if you stay. Even though I wanted to send Brother Si away at the beginning, I will never forget the heartbreaking pain in my life."
.”
That evening, when it was getting dark, the baby's cry was finally heard in the Yonghe Palace. The imperial concubine had been waiting impatiently in the side hall, and the loud cry finally woke her up. At this moment, the emperor just got rid of his court affairs and rushed over.
As soon as I stepped in the door, I heard crying. Eunuch Li also said excitedly: "The cry is so clear and clear. I don't know if it's the princess or the elder brother."
But when she saw Luzhu running out of the house happily, she was about to run to where the imperial concubine was. When she saw the emperor in front of the door, she quickly turned around and ran over, saying happily: "Congratulations to the emperor, the empress has given birth to a little princess. The imperial doctor said that mother and daughter
It’s safe.”
Xuan Ye looked happy and murmured: "I wish she was safe." Then he urged Luzhu, "Bring the little princess over quickly and show me."
The imperial concubine and the concubine Rong came out quickly when they heard that the Holy Emperor had arrived. The former was worried that the emperor would hold her accountable for today's incident. Fortunately, the little princess was born smoothly, which diluted the problem. The emperor didn't know whether he didn't care or didn't think about it, and just said happily
They said: "I have a princess again."
Everyone entered, and Concubine Rong went into the delivery room to see Lan Qi. The emperor and the imperial concubine were waiting in the outer hall for the wet nurse to bring the little princess. The imperial concubine clicked her tongue: "This child was born so well. How can a newly born child be so fair and clean?"
When our daughter was born, my fourth brother said that my sister was ugly."
Xuan Ye couldn't help but feel sorry for her for losing her daughter, and said gently: "The princess is also your child."
The imperial concubine was stunned. The emperor's words were an honor that only a queen could have, right? The queen who has a mother's love for the world is the legitimate mother of all the princes and princesses in the palace. Did her cousin say this sincerely, or was it just to appease her?
"Hug her, my hands are heavy so I'm afraid of hurting her." The emperor handed the baby clothes to the imperial concubine, and she took it carefully. The light and exquisite little girl was white and pink when she was born, as if she was born to be a royal princess.
Such nobility, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and said to Xuan Ye, "Today Yinzhen is playing with Brother Six again, your Majesty, don't worry."
Xuan Ye smiled and nodded without saying anything. He didn't need to hold the child, so he could look at his daughter carefully and easily, and said happily: "This child looks like me, right?"
The imperial concubine then smiled: "Your Majesty looks just like you, and the little princess looks like her mother-in-law."
At this moment, Concubine Rong came out with a worried look on her face and replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine De's sister is very weak. She fell asleep without saying a few words to the concubine. The imperial doctor said that she was born a few days prematurely. Although the baby has grown well.
, but my sister has suffered a lot because of the abnormal fetal position, and she has to take care of her health in the past two months."
Xuan Ye understood in his heart and said: "In this case, they may not be able to take care of the little princess if she stays in Yonghe Palace. Concubine De and Yinzuo cannot be short of manpower. Adding more people to Yonghe Palace will break the rules."
The imperial concubine looked at the emperor blankly, but after hearing that the emperor said that he wanted to send the little princess to Ningshou Palace, he even summoned the wet nurses and others, and after giving instructions, he asked them to take the child away directly. When the imperial concubine came back to her senses
Only then did she feel that her arms were empty, and she couldn't help but say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Concubine De will be sad?"
Xuan Ye said: "She will understand."
The news that the little princess was sent to Ningshou Palace soon spread throughout the Sixth Palace. In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was having a meal. The emperor ran to see Concubine De giving birth. When she gave birth to her ninth elder brother, the emperor didn't even come to see her, but she hadn't even seen her yet.
After drinking half a bowl of vinegar, I heard that the princess had been taken away, and that she was going to Ningshou Palace.
"What's going on? The child was so weak last year, and Concubine De was so weak that she didn't even say she wanted to send it away. How come she sent the child away smoothly this year?" Concubine Yi was puzzled and couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions.
, pulled Taohong and talked nonchalantly, and even accused the Queen Mother of being greedy, "Do you think she got addicted to raising children? After having a grandson, it would be better to have a granddaughter as well?"
Taohong didn't have any ideas. She just listened to her master's chatter and was busy preparing gifts. At the same time, she reminded her: "You will be pregnant in two days. Master, do you want to go to the door in person to congratulate you?"
"She came in person last month, but now the princess has been sent away. What if she doesn't appreciate it when I go to congratulate her, but instead resents me for teasing her?" Yi Fei rolled her eyes and ordered Taohong, "
Just look at what other people do, and look at what Concubine Hui does."
Concubine Yi was not the only one who was confused about this matter in the palace. Anyone who looked at it found it strange. The emperor sent the princess away after saying that the people in the Yonghe Palace could not take care of her. If he said that he did not care about Concubine Nian De's feelings, it would not be wrong.
Not necessarily, but if you and Concubine De have already discussed sending a female doll to Ningshou Palace, what can you do?
Concubine Wen was watching Dongyun preparing gifts. She was about to give birth, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger. It was the first time in her life that she had truly experienced childbirth. The more she went on, the more frightened she became. At this time, she heard that Concubine De was imprisoned because of her postpartum weakness.
After sending it to the Queen Mother, she asked Dongyun repeatedly: "If I were weak, would the emperor also send my child away?"
Dongyun comforted her with a few words, and gradually Concubine Wen began to murmur again: "Will the emperor come on the day I give birth? He was at Mulan Paddock when Concubine Huang was born, and he went to Yonghe Palace when Concubine Yi was born. Only today he is in a hurry
I’m busy going to see Concubine De and her daughter, what about me?”
Just as Mrs. Jue Chan came over with Xianghe, they prepared gifts and prepared to send them over with Concubine Wen. When she walked in and heard these words, Dong Yun looked at Mrs. Jue Chan as if she had found a savior: "My lord, please persuade the empress."
.”
Mrs. Juechan was helpless in her heart, but she reassured her: "The emperor will definitely come to see you. This is your first time to have a baby."
Concubine Wen's eyes shone brightly. At least so far, Jue Chan's promise to her has not been fulfilled. She even felt that Jue Chan's prophecy had some magical power. When she heard her say this, she felt at ease.
There was a joyful night in the palace, and the Yonghe Palace was even more lively the next day. However, the Queen Mother issued an order saying that Concubine De was weak, so that the concubines did not have to come to disturb her rest. They just sent the palace maids to deliver gifts, and Duan Concubine and Bu Guiren came to help. Lan Qi
She just kept her quietly in the house, with her sisters taking care of her outside.
At this moment, Bu Guiren heated up the medicine and brought it in. He saw Lan Qi sitting blankly under the window. The golden sunlight fell on her through the window, but there was no warmth at all. Lan Qi's expression and temperament revealed a bit of warmth.
It's so desolate that it suppresses the warm autumn sun.
"What's wrong?" Bu Guiren was very worried. He sat aside with the medicine and asked, "Do you miss your daughter?"
Lan Qi smiled faintly and asked her what kind of medicine she was taking. Bu Guiren said it was to help the discharge of lochia, so she drank it obediently. Bu Guiren put down the medicine bowl and wiped it with a handkerchief for her, and asked again: "Do you miss the little princess?"
"
Lan Qi nodded, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I feel helpless for no reason. Sometimes I wonder, how do I live my life? When I woke up today, my body was empty, and my head was also empty."
