289 The little girl from the Uranala family arrives
"Brother Si, please don't mention this matter to the imperial concubine. If she tells my master, the master will have to break my legs." Xiao Hezi begged Si Brother with a mournful face, "I don't want to reward you with money. Don't be tired."
Just wear the endorsement."
"Xiaohezi, how do you say this?" Lan Qi asked.
Xiao Hezi hurriedly responded: "Brother Si worked too hard every day and was really tired. He fell asleep last night when he went back, and the imperial concubine didn't wake him up, which delayed him from memorizing his homework, so..."
"I don't want you to talk too much." Yinzhen reprimanded Xiao Hezi and said fiercely, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will have someone beat you again."
Lan Qi stepped forward and touched Yinzhen's head: "The way of civility and martial arts is relaxed. Yinzhen, you are still young. Although studying is important, growing up is more important. The homework in the study will not be so tiring. Can you find another book by yourself?"
Did you watch it originally?"
Yinzhen said nothing, but the younger brother beside him shouted that he was hungry. Lan Qi laughed: "Go back to eat first. You will memorize your books later. If it is still early, tell the imperial concubine that she will come to Yonghe Palace for a while.
, Your Majesty Ama rewarded Yin Zuo with some Western objects yesterday, but he could only break them and waste them, so I kept them without letting him touch them, waiting for you to teach him how to play with them."
"But……"
"Those Western objects are not in the books. The world is so big." Lan Qi smiled softly and held her son's shoulders, "Let's go back to have dinner early and talk to the imperial concubine. I heard Qing Qing
Lian said, there is a champion in Chengqian Palace, and now the palace maids and eunuchs walk and talk softly, for fear of disturbing the fourth elder brother who is studying."
Yinzhen smiled naively and seemed to be in a better mood. After going back all the way, Lan Qi didn't let Yinzuo follow him and took him back to Yonghe Palace to wait. The little guy just ate a few mouthfuls of food and kept waiting at the door.
He hung around waiting for his brother to come, sitting on the threshold and refusing to move. Finally, when night fell, a lantern came in front of the door, saying that the fourth brother had arrived.
"Fourth brother is here." Yin Zuo ran out excitedly. He hadn't played with his brother for several days. Now the days are getting more and more boring. He looked forward to the stars and the moon for his brother to come, and ran to the door.
, who would have thought that he would fall flat on the ground halfway, and his loud cries could be heard spreading in the yard.
Lan Qi was inside taking out the things Xuan Ye had given her. When she heard her son crying, she quickly came out to take a look. However, she saw Yinzhen pulling Yinzuo up from the ground, patting the dust on his clothes, and rubbing his knees and arms.
He said distressedly: "Look at what you are running for. Does it hurt you when you fall?" Then she lectured him, "Stop crying. Boys can't cry all the time."
Lan Qi felt soft in her heart. Not long after, the two little guys came to her. Yinzhen saluted politely. Lan Qi asked him if he had enjoyed the dinner well and if he had memorized the book. He said that he had memorized everything.
My mother listened twice before she came over to play. Yinzuo couldn't wait for his mother to talk so much to her brother, but she was kicked away by her son and asked to rest.
Lan Qi asked the wet nurses to watch and let the two brothers play. She went back to the house to continue preparing the auspicious clothes for Yin Zuo to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival. Huan Chun helped with the work and gossiped: "I used to be so cruel to say goodbye."
No matter what happened to the fourth elder brother, I always thought that you and the fourth elder brother would be strangers in the future. I really didn’t expect that the two brothers could play so well like this now. Even if the fourth elder brother knew that you were my mother-in-law, nothing would change.
.”
Lan Qi sighed: "I never imagined that this would be the case. All the credit should go to the Imperial Concubine. We were not happy in the past. It was the Imperial Concubine who was always wary of me and embarrassed me overtly and covertly. Later we said to each other
Understand, she stopped guarding against me and let her children grow up naturally, and that’s how we are today.”
Huan Chun casually said: "I just want to think about it. One day, I will be able to hear my fourth brother call you my mother. In the future, my fourth brother will have Fujin. Will little Fujin also respect you? The more I look forward to the future,
The more I'm afraid that I won't be able to achieve these things, the more I don't want my brothers to grow up."
Lan Qi did not force anything, and smiled lightly: "Seeing them healthy and well is my biggest wish. Besides, Yinzhen knows in his heart that I am E Niang and does not hate me. I am already very satisfied. You talk about him
In the future, if Fujin makes it difficult for her to make a decision on this matter, it will only cause trouble for the children. They can just live a good life outside the palace. I still have Yin Zuo, so I am not afraid of not having a daughter-in-law to show my respect. "
Huan Chun said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am selfish. I think that when I get old in the future, you will reward me to go to my brothers' house to take care of myself. Can I see how easy it is to get along there?"
Lan Qi laughed and scolded her: "How dare you say that? They usually teach Xiangyue and the others a serious business, but they never behave properly in front of me." She smiled more confidently, "I'm still young, and I might have a son. Don't worry.
, I have plenty of daughters-in-law to choose from for you."
Huan Chun smiled from ear to ear and said that the master was the one who dared to say it. However, her master had been careful not to have any surprises last year in order to accompany him on his southern tour, but he had already decided not to go to Shengjing this year. If the emperor could
Fortunately, I was given the favor of my empress, and I spent those few months recuperating at home.
"How can it be such a coincidence? Let it take its course. If you think too much, it will be difficult. I'm not in a hurry. Wen Xian is still very young." Lan Qi was doing needlework in her hands, and before she knew it, a piece of clothing was sewn.
, it had been more than an hour before Lan Qi remembered that the brothers were playing in the house. It was getting late and had to send Brother Si back, but when he rushed over to see it, Yinzhen and Yinzuo had already fallen asleep clinging to each other.
.
The wet nurse following the fourth elder brother has already taken the initiative to run back to Chengqian Palace to ask if the fourth elder brother can be allowed to sleep here. By chance, the emperor will come to Chengqian Palace tonight, and Qinglian will make the decision to let the fourth elder brother stay here. The wet nurse sees virtue at this moment.
The concubine came and said this.
"Huan Chun, you'd better ask again. It's fine if the empress is sleeping peacefully. Otherwise, it would be best if the empress nods in person, so as not to cause trouble to Qing Lian." Lan Qi was very cautious and asked Huan Chun and the wet nurse to go there again.
Then put things away gently.
The two little guys put their clothes on and fell asleep on the kang. The maids and ladies didn't dare to move, saying that the sixth elder brother fell asleep first, and the fourth elder brother lay down and watched him for a while, but he couldn't move.
Fell asleep.
"Brother Si is tired." Lan Qi said her heartfelt words when no one from Chengqian Palace was around, "The Imperial Concubine is too careful. It is important for the child to study, but his health is even more important."
When Huan Chun came back, and sure enough, with the imperial concubine's personal consent, Lan Qi carried the two little guys to the bed with her own hands. Yin Zuo slept like a little pig, and he didn't wake up no matter how much he moved. He took off all his clothes and turned them over.
He continued to fall asleep. But Yinzhen was alert, but when he woke up he was drowsy. Lan Qi coaxed him gently: "Eniang asked you to sleep here. Empress De will wake you up early tomorrow morning and won't delay your departure.
study."
Yinzhen was in a daze and fell asleep again after being coaxed by Lan Qi for a while. She looked at her sons for a while to make sure they were sleeping soundly before going back. But she was thinking about urging Yinzhen to get up and go to the study tomorrow morning.
I didn't sleep well at night, so I came over early the next morning. After all, he was a child and it was difficult to get up in the morning. Lan Qi personally dressed the sleepy child neatly. Huan Chun prepared breakfast early and ate a few mouthfuls before he woke up.
, suddenly remembered that the book he had memorized last night was a little dull. It happened to be a quarter of an hour before he went to the study room. The most important thing Lan Qi lacked was books. She helped him review a few more times. When the time came, the little guy
Went away happily.
Lan Qi stood in front of the palace gate to watch her son leave, and then said to Huan Chun: "Yesterday, I blamed the imperial concubine for making Fourth Brother work too hard. Now I know how hard it is for her. It is a great achievement to be able to take care of these things every day."
I have lost my patience." Then he said with a smile, "It's coming soon. When Yinzuo goes to the study, we will be so busy every day. As for that little guy, I might lose my temper and scold him every morning just by asking him to get up.
It took him several times to achieve it.”
Huan Chun smiled and said: "This is your blessing, others may not think so."
Speaking of blessings, at the end of April, Wan Changzai of Jingyang Palace had a happy pulse. Looking through the records, it was the day when Concubine Wen refused to let Concubine Ping sleep with her. The emperor summoned Wan Liuha to Qianqing Palace that night.
Such joy. It has been some time since Wan Liuha entered the palace, and the emperor's favor with her was limited and neither close nor distant. This time she was truly blessed. However, after one night of favor, she became pregnant. Concubine Rong said to her sisters
He also laughed when he got up: "No wonder she always feels uncomfortable recently. I didn't even expect such a good thing to happen. My Jingyang Palace Feng Shui is not bad."
Now Concubine Yi is about to give birth, and Concubine Wen has been pregnant for several months. With the addition of Wan Chang, the children will be prosperous. The Empress Dowager is very happy, and it is in line with the wishes of Concubine Wen, so that the Dragon Boat Festival will be a good one.
After a lot of excitement, Concubine Rong dared to let go and spent a lot of money on decorations. The palace was filled with joy and was waiting for the festival.
In the early morning of the fourth day of May, Concubine Yi showed signs of giving birth. However, she had been feeling lazy in recent months and had been lying in bed to nurse her fetus. Therefore, she rarely showed up for matters in the palace, so she was not as energetic as when she gave birth to her ninth brother.
After a whole day of hard work, she gave birth to a little prince in the evening. It is said that Concubine Yi's body was damaged as a result, and she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future. Naturally, this was just a rumor among the palace people in private. Even if it was true, the superiors would not make a big deal about it.
Say it.
But the emperor was very happy to have another son, and Concubine Yi suddenly became the one with the most children among the concubines. She gave birth to three princes, the fifth prince, the ninth prince, and the eleventh prince.
For the heirs of the royal family, the contribution was indispensable. The empress dowager, the empress dowager and the emperor all gave rewards one after another. In addition, the emperor was going to Shengjing in June, and the Guo Luoluo family was guarding there for the imperial court. Yikun Palace was in the limelight for a while.
No two.
But women who were in confinement were not allowed to go out to join in the fun. The next day, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Yi stayed alone in Yikun Palace to recuperate. On that day, all the royal family members of the princes and ministers’ families were invited to the palace, and the inner court welcomed many people.
It was lively, and some young aristocratic daughters and sons also came to the palace with their mothers to play. The imperial concubine's nephew Shun Anyan was already six years old. The little guy with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain was very popular with his aunt.
Today, the emperor granted permission for a half-day holiday in the study. At this time, the brothers are still in the study and have not returned. The female relatives gathered together to talk and laugh. The imperial concubine coaxed her nephew and said: "You must study hard and be successful in the future. Auntie will invite the emperor when you get back."
How about a wedding by appointment and betrothed to a princess?"
The child was ignorant, so he just smiled and said yes, and everyone laughed it off. They all knew that the imperial concubine's words were just a joke. It was not she who had the final say on the future marriages of the princesses. No one took this matter seriously.
Seriously, even if the princesses came over later and played with the children of the clan, no one would think about what was going on here. Most of the princesses in the Qing Dynasty married far away. If the imperial concubine said it, it would be a big deal.
What a blessing.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and it got even hotter after the Dragon Boat Festival. After studying in the study, the fourth elder brother took Xiao Hezi and a few eunuchs back to Chengqian Palace. After the weather got hot, the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, and the others all sat down.
As he walked, Yinzhen said that his legs were weak when riding a horse and he needed to exercise. He walked back and forth to and from the study by himself, and it was no exception now that it was hot.
Walking all the way to Chengqian Palace, he saw Concubine De on the way turning from the side road. Yinzhen politely stepped forward to salute, but he saw Concubine De holding a little girl about the same age as Yinzuo. She was so cute.
The little girl looked at Brother Si timidly and lowered her head involuntarily.
"This is the young lady from Fei Yanggu's family. She got lost alone and happened to meet me." Lan Qi said with a smile. The little girl beside her looked up at Concubine De, and then at Brother Si. She
He didn't seem to understand how to salute, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yinzhen walked with Concubine De. He said that Yinzuo was impatient to wait and would board the ship with his brother later. Yinzhen smiled and said: "He talks about this every day. I will ask him later if he can recite the Thousand-Character Essay."
, otherwise I won’t play with him.”
Lan Qi smiled and said, "He has been working hard these days. If he really can't memorize it later, you can also play with him, otherwise he will be very sad."
"I can also memorize the Thousand-Character Essay." The little girl next to me suddenly spoke, and her childish voice was very sweet. She probably couldn't help but interrupt after hearing Concubine De and Brother Si speak so gently, but once she saw it,
Both of them looked at her, feeling shy again. They smiled sweetly on their rosy cheeks and had a pair of cute and exquisite dimples.
"Yuxi is so smart. You can already memorize a thousand-character essay?" Concubine De called the little girl's name. She had just met her who was lost and asked her who her name was and what family the child belonged to. Xiaoxiao could tell her clearly.
She is very smart for her age, and she is pretty and cute. Lan Qi likes her very much.
At this time, someone was coming from the front, and they heard the sound of "Yuxi" in the distance. Everyone followed the sound, and the little girl saw clearly that it was her mother-in-law. She let go of Lan Qi's hand and shouted "E-Niang" and ran over, waiting for Lan Qi and
When Yinzhen came closer, the woman over there knelt down and saluted. It was Fei Yanggu's wife Jueluoshi.
"I have met Empress De, and I have met Fourth Brother." Jueluo bowed respectfully, and pushed her daughter to kneel on the ground. However, the little girl said to E Niang sweetly, "It was Concubine De who found Yu."
Of the creek.”
Jue Luo made an embarrassing apology to Lan Qi, saying that she failed to take good care of the child. Of course Lan Qi didn't care. When she came out of Cining Palace, she met this little girl standing in the corner crying, and asked who the child was.
He sent the maid next to him to look for her, and he took her back to Yonghe Palace first. It happened that Yinzuo was so busy that he could have a playmate.
