"Who knows." The eldest brother snorted nonchalantly. The fifth brother didn't care. It was boring to call the prince here. Although he couldn't have any discord with the prince on the surface, he didn't like the prince in his heart.
Later, when he heard that Yinzhen wanted to come with them, he clamped his legs and the horse ran forward.
"Drive." When Yinzuo saw his eldest brother and third brother running away on horseback, he danced and cheered on the horse, shouting, "Fourth brother, let's go quickly and chase the eldest brother. Drive..."
But Yinzhen said calmly: "We are little ponies, we can't run, and I can't ride a horse, so don't fall." After that, he asked his Shuda to hold the horse in front, and the two of them walked around casually.
When Yinzhen saw the horse starting to walk, he didn't care whether he chased it or not. He was laughing and joking all the way and was so excited that Yinzhen was so noisy that he patted him on the head and asked him to be quiet.
The two brothers were walking slowly on the edge of the school grounds, talking and laughing freely. The eldest brother and the third brother had already disappeared. When they came down from walking back and forth, they suddenly saw the guards and eunuchs running together.
In the past, Yinzhen remembered that the eldest brother and the third brother ran there just now.
Such a tense atmosphere even affected Yin Zuo, who asked his brother in confusion: "What are they doing?" The little guy seemed to be really frightened, and he started acting coquettishly and looking for his mother.
Yinzhen got off the horse with his younger brother, and first went to find the nannies and mothers who were accompanying Yinzao. Soon he heard that someone was injured over there. When he ran over to see, he saw that the third elder brother was being hugged.
When I came back, the eldest brother followed slowly behind.
The attendant of the fourth elder brother took the young master back and told him that the elder brother was riding too fast and threw the third elder brother. Fortunately, he fell on the haystack and was not injured, but he had a lot of minor injuries.
Fortunately, the two brothers did not follow the eldest brother just now.
The news that the third elder brother was injured did not spread. The emperor calmly reviewed the three armies, and the emperor and the princes returned to Zhizao Mansion in a mighty manner. Only then did the news spread in the mansion. Lan Qi heard that the third elder brother was injured.
Hurry to Concubine Rong's side. When you get to the door, you hear that the emperor is inside. Instead, you stop and tell Ji Xin to greet her and leave.
As Yinzhen and Yinzuo were all standing by the imperial concubine, of course the mother-in-law also wanted to come and have a look. The palace maid led the empress De Fei all the way in. When she stepped through the door, she heard the imperial concubine nagging: "If you want a pony, my mother will give it to you."
You can buy a hundred horses, but your emperor’s reward is rare? Look at your hands, the skin is almost broken, my mother is very distressed."
Lan Qi approached, and Yinzao rushed over to act coquettishly with his mother. She greeted the imperial concubine politely, and the imperial concubine asked angrily: "How is the third elder brother?"
Lan Qi responded: "I just went to take a look. The emperor is at Sister Rong's place. I heard that there is nothing serious. He is just frightened and has some minor injuries. Please don't worry." As he spoke, his eyes turned to the two children.
I was afraid that they might be injured, but I was relieved to see that they were all in high spirits.
But the imperial concubine took the fourth brother and showed her right palm to Lan Qi, and said angrily: "Look at this kid, for his Ama's little pony, this hand was turned purple from being strangled. Your Majesty,
You are stingy there and won't give your son a horse, why don't I buy it for him?" He asked Yinzuo to go over and said distressedly, "Don't be like your brother in the future. If you want a foal, come here.
Tell the imperial concubine."
Lan Qi was dumbfounded at the side, and heard that Yinzhen said that she wanted to see his pony. Good things are always new for children. The imperial concubine did not stop her, but assigned a large group of people to surround the two children.
, told not to hurt anyone. The children had just left, and Lan Qi was wondering if she should leave too. Qinglian came back after hearing the news from outside and told the two empresses: "The emperor is very angry and is in front."
When you scold eldest brother, no one outside dares to say a word, for fear that Long live the Lord will take action."
The imperial concubine showed an attitude that it had nothing to do with her, and even sneered: "If Concubine Hui had let go and her eldest brother was raised by me, the situation might not be what it is now. Now that it has become like this and she is scolded every now and then, she deserves it herself."
Bringing up the past, because Lan Qi had passively participated in it, and even the imperial concubine slapped her for it, both of them were a little embarrassed. Lan Qi saluted and was about to leave, but the imperial concubine suddenly said: "When did we think of today in those days?
Now I am still not convinced that you occupy the emperor's heart, but for the sake of the children, we must be good mothers so that the children can be well."
"I understand." Lan Qi bowed her head in agreement, and after thinking for a while, she finally said it, "I believe that your Majesty is the head of the Sixth Palace, and your eldest brother's upbringing is also under your responsibility. Do you want to persuade your Majesty at this moment?
I advise the emperor not to let any rift between father and son arise. After all, in other people's homes, a few curse words are enough. It would be ugly to do anything, not to mention that we have to leave for Beijing in the next two days."
The imperial concubine's eyes were rolling, but she was still reluctant, but she knew her identity and responsibilities, and she was no longer the careless little concubine Tong in her early years. In addition, she was reminded by Lan Qi, and she decided to go or not.
, but insisted on grabbing Bai Lanqi: "I don't need you to teach me the things here."
Lan Qi remained silent until she exited, with a helpless smile on her face. Knowing that the emperor had gone ahead, she came to Concubine Rong again. The concubines were already there, sitting and talking in the hall when they saw her coming.
, Concubine Rong asked with concern: "How are the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother?"
They both told each other about the child's condition, and Concubine Rong sighed: "In my opinion, fortunately, Yinzhi was hurt. If things were reversed, I don't know how to explain to Concubine Hui when I get back."
"Yinzhi is just injured, so my sister can say such things. What if..." Duanbi said half of her words, those unlucky things did not dare to be said out loud after all, "The emperor is very angry because of the eldest brother. It is better not to let him suffer in the future."
Third Brother is with him, so it would be better if we were separated even in the study."
Concubine Rong smiled bitterly: "If we do this, we can only let the people around them watch. If we tell the children themselves, we will be the ones who are embarrassed if we say it all out stupidly."
Later, Lan Qi went in and took a look at Yinzhi. The little guy's body was covered with scratches from rolling down the haystacks, but luckily he had not moved any muscles.
Then news came from the front that the imperial concubine had gone to persuade her, and the eldest brother did not suffer much. Concubine Rong did not know what Lan Qi had said to the imperial concubine before, and she even praised her: "Our imperial concubine is becoming more and more beautiful.
.”
When Lan Qi returned to her residence, the imperial concubine sent someone to tell her where Brother Six was spending the night. She thought that Xuan Ye would not go if the children were there. Sure enough, Xuan Ye came over within half an hour.
But looking at the good-natured person, there was no anger on his face. On the contrary, Lan Qi didn't know what to say, but Xuan Ye came prepared.
But when he saw Eunuch Liang holding a baggage and putting it on the table, the emperor pointed at it and said, "Put it on and go out with me, lest I disappear and you start thinking wildly again."
Lan Qi muttered about changing into some important clothes. When Huan Chun opened it for her inside, it turned out to be the outfit of an ordinary woman. When she came out dressed neatly, Xuan Ye's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's not the case.
That stingy and meddlesome little girl back then, don't call me young master when you go out this time, remember to call me husband."
Lan Qi's face turned red. When she was changing her clothes just now, she was thinking about the three days she secretly left the palace. At that time, she was a stingy girl following the young master, but when people saw her, they called her young mistress. This time she became a serious woman.
The way they dress is actually more relaxed.
They left quietly in the carriage, naturally it looked like a "private visit in disguise". There were countless people in front and behind to protect the safety of the emperor and the concubine. Lan Qi was not surprised now, and just followed Xuan Ye leisurely. But the emperor
He was obviously a little tired. When he was in the car, he did not look at the scenery outside, but closed his eyes to rest. The car suddenly shook and he woke up.
Xuan Ye opened his eyes and saw Lan Qi staring at him, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy." Lan Qi said frankly, "It's because of the elder brother and the third elder brother."
Xuan Ye smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "If you are not happy, it is not because of him that you threw Yinzhi. Such accidents happen every day on the racecourse. I am not that stingy, and Concubine Rong is even less stingy."
Lan Qi nodded, seeing that there was something in the emperor's words. If he didn't say it, he shouldn't say it to her. Naturally, he turned his eyes outside, watching the bustle of the streets and markets, and asked with a smile: "The emperor wants to take his concubine."
where."
Xuan Ye didn't respond. Lan Qi turned around and saw that he was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. His head was agitated and he said with a smile: "Ms. sir, where are you taking the slave family to?"
The atmosphere in the car improved immediately, and Xuan Ye told her that he would not go back to the Zhizao Mansion tonight, but would take her to several places in Jiangning in the evening and stay overnight. The real thing would be tomorrow. But the emperor never said
Lan Qi didn't dare to ask about serious matters, and she was eager to see him happy. After that, she just wandered around with her husband-in-law, and even stayed in an inn for the first time since entering the palace. Needless to say, there were all kinds of new and exciting things.
What she was even more curious about was the so-called serious business the next day.
Early the next morning, Lan Qi helped Xuan Ye get up and wash up. She couldn't help but ask him what he was going to do.
He did not live long. He died in office in April this year, which was a great pity to the court. Before his death, he recommended Yu Chenglong, another Jiangning official with the same name, saying that he was honest and dedicated to the public affairs, proficient in river engineering, and a wise and resourceful man.
Officer, Xuan Ye has heard about this for a long time. He has spoken to him several times in Jiangning, and today he wanted to see how he tried the case and whether he was really a young and promising good official as the elder Yu Chenglong said.
Lan Qi smiled: "The emperor is in Jiangning, and even if he pretends to be good, he will behave well. How can we really see the emperor's true colors during a private visit? I thought, you might as well wait until you leave for two days, and then come back to fight, then you can see it."
It’s real, now and in the past, I’m afraid what I see is not real.”
