Seeing that she was nervous, Xuan Ye became serious and stopped asking her to leave. He went to Grandma Sumala's house together. After listening to Lan Qi's story about Grandma, he knew that Grandma was sick with worry. She was probably thinking of one thing.
I'm going to follow the royal grandmother.
"Your Majesty, please don't say anything to Mommy. The Empress Dowager asked her to take care of you to persuade her to stay. Why put more burden on Mommy? Let her feel more comfortable." Lan Qi lowered her eyes before entering the door.
He said, "My whole life, I have regarded myself as the Empress Dowager's slave. Even if she was respected by others, I would not forget her duty. Both the Queen Mother and my concubines thought that if they were wholeheartedly good to Grandma and had people taking care of her and respecting her, she would be happy. As a result,
It's of no use at all. On the contrary, the more this happens, the more uncomfortable she becomes."
"Mammy never violates the palace rules." Xuan Ye looked solemn.
Lan Qi said: "It is obvious to everyone that you can stay in Ningshou Palace and let your mother enjoy the same treatment as the Queen Mother. She must be uneasy in her heart. I think it is better to let her move to a new place."
If you live somewhere, even if you are being served and taken care of, at least there will be no one to compare you with, and you will feel less burdened."
Xuan Ye nodded: "That's a way. There are many palaces in the palace, just choose a quiet place."
But Lan Qi smiled and said: "Why don't you go to my brother's place? Let grandma take care of the affairs of my brother's place from now on, and let grandma have something to do."
Xuan Ye thought, there are only seventh and twelfth elder brothers in the elder brother's office now. How come there are so many things for grandma to take care of? Just when he was wondering whether Lan Qi's idea was a good one, she suddenly said: "
In the future, when new people enter the palace, they will also give birth to princes and princesses. There will be more concubines than can be raised, and they will probably all be sent to the elder brother's home. Now the twelfth elder brother is still young and needs someone to take care of him, even if he is two years old.
When she gets older and there are younger children in the future, she won’t have time to spare. She is worried about her hard work and wants her to be free and enjoy happiness, so she will feel that it’s time for her to leave.”
The last sentence is very reasonable. What do the previous ones mean? Xuan Ye stared at Lan Qi for a long time, then approached her angrily and asked her: "Are you really not afraid of making me angry if you say such things again and again?"
Lan Qi was stunned. She was telling the truth. What happened?
Xuan Ye was unhappy. He couldn't explain the reason, but he was unhappy anyway. He looked at Lan Qi with a tigerish face and said nothing. The two looked at each other stupidly. After all, women are more delicate, and it took them a long time to react, and they couldn't help but
The emperor's hand said: "Your Majesty, you think I am jealous?" He quickly changed his mind and said, "I did not agree with you. I will be a gentle, generous and tolerant good empress. If you are jealous, please keep it in your heart.
Let’s talk behind closed doors.”
Her voice became softer and softer, almost like a boudoir whisper, but she touched the door of her heart and looked at Xuan Ye with a bright smile, as if she was talking about a great happy event, which made Xuan Ye lose his temper and looked at her.
She had such a nice smile, but she was obviously stingy and had to show off her magnanimous posture. She was so self-righteous that no one else could see it. She felt happy for a moment, pushed her hand away with disgust, and cursed in a half-hateful tone:
"Heartless thing."
Seeing the emperor turn around and leave with a smile, Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief and happily followed him in. Her grandma was on the sickbed and saw the emperor and concubine coming with joy. She thought something good was going on, but in the end she just invited her to go.
Although my brother's help is something that makes my mother happy, I don't understand why the emperor and the concubine are so happy.
After that, Xuan Ye left first. Lan Qi took care of her mother and drank the medicine, and then went to explain the matter to the Queen Mother. Mother left her alone and asked: "Is there anything happy for your Majesty and the Emperor?"
When she explained why, she couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed: "Since the death of the Empress Dowager, I haven't seen such a smile on the Emperor's face for a long time. In the end, I am not happy for anything. Is it just because of seeing you?"
Lan Qi smiled. She didn't understand why Xuan Ye was happy, but she was happy about it and said smugly: "Mommy, am I awesome?"
A few days after that, Grandma Sumala was sent to the elder brother's house. Naturally, she had to recover for a while before she could take care of the elder brother's house. The biological mother of the seventh elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, Dai Guiren
He and Wan Changzai often go to take care of their grandma, and they can also take this opportunity to see their children more, killing two birds with one stone.
With a trustworthy person taking care of her mama, Lan Qi can be free to take care of her children and keep an eye on things in the palace. In recent days, the emperor has favored Yi Kun Palace more. Whether it is Concubine Yi or Zhang Yaosheng, in the eyes of others,
In her eyes, the momentum is about to overtake Yonghe Palace. In fact, Lan Qi has never really cared about momentum or glory in the past ten years. She only knows that when Xuan Ye comes, she will take care of him to make him happy. When Xuan Ye is not here, she will
Live a good life by yourself.
But this is the so-called self-reliance, and it doesn't work in the Forbidden City.
Concubine Rong came that day and said that she had worked hard to make up for all the troubles that Concubine Yi had poked. All that was left was to wait for Concubine Yi to take the initiative. Concubine Rong was impatient to wait. Seeing many things happening in the second half of autumn, she began to worry.
Come to urge Lan Qi.
"We have to prepare for the Grand Empress Dowager's Anniversary Festival in the second half of the year. We don't have a moment to spare in the palace. As for the festival, I don't know what the Emperor thinks. He always likes to make impromptu ideas. We must be prepared at any time." Concubine Rong was worried and said nothing to Lan Qi.
Complaining without reservation, "If I were still Concubine Yi, I would rather conspire with Changchun Palace."
Lan Qi was serving the tea in her hand. The exquisite utensils were crystal clear under the moisture of the tea. She handed a small cup of Kung Fu tea to Concubine Rong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, don't worry about Changchun Palace."
Concubine Rong held the tea cup and did not move. She looked at Lan Qi with some surprise. Lan Qi seemed to be afraid that she would not understand, so she explained carefully: "The emperor said that from now on, Concubine Hui will no longer have to worry about the affairs of the Sixth Palace."
"Really?" Concubine Rong drank the tea. Kung Fu tea emphasizes the bitterness in the mouth and the sweet aftertaste, but why did she only taste bitterness, and where was the sweetness? It was probably because she felt bitter in her heart. After all, she had been with Concubine Hui for more than 20 years, and now Concubine Hui had ended up like this.
As a result, she was quite speechless.
But the emotion was only temporary. Concubine Rong understood everything in her heart. She asked Lan Qi to pour her tea and have a good sip, saying: "I'm just waiting for you to help me. Gradually, you will be the master of everything big and small.
In a few years, I should retire and enjoy peace and happiness."
Lan Qi smiled leisurely: "Sister, please don't deceive yourself. Where will it be your turn to enjoy happiness?"
Concubine Rong scolded: "You just bully me."
Lan Qi said solemnly: "Sister, let's deal with a troublesome matter. Let's put it aside for now. I will tell you in a few days that the time has come. Then you can push the matter to Concubine Yi, preferably the emperor."
When I was there, the two of them had something to talk about."
Concubine Rong thought of Lan Qi's previous evil idea, and then looked at Concubine Yi's recent appearance, and asked her in disbelief: "Did you really tell the emperor?"
Lan Qi smiled: "We are worried about him."
But this matter was not as smooth as Lan Qi imagined. After the emperor spent half a year of extreme sadness and gradually began to get close to the harem, something extraordinary happened in the court. The emperor was temporarily occupied with government affairs, and then
The entire harem was abandoned.
Let us say that in the spring of this year, a severe drought occurred in the grassland of Tushetu tribe. Many people starved to death due to lack of food. In order to save his tribe, Tushetu Khan Chahu Dorji met with Boshu Ketu Khan Galdan.
Xuanye of the League knew very well that Tushetu Khan's move would not only further worsen the relationship between the left and right wings of Khalkha Mongolia, but would also become an excuse for Galdan to invade Khalkha Mongolia.
Although Galdan is the fourth Wensa Living Buddha, he is extremely talented in military affairs. Whenever he encounters a war, he has appropriate strategies and tactics, decisive command, takes the lead, and is fearless. Therefore, he is sure to win every battle, and he is "not vulnerable to a single arrow."
As a result, he established a high prestige and was deeply influenced by Lamaism. He always wanted to establish a Junggar Empire with Lamaism as the state religion.
After successively annexing the other three Oirat Mongolian tribes and attacking the Chechen Khanate of Oqiltu, Galdan led his troops into southern Xinjiang under the pretext of crusade against "others" and destroyed the Yarkand Khanate. At the same time, Galdan
In the west, he deployed troops to Kazakhstan to consolidate his rule there. After conquering the Kazakh Khanate in the west, Galdan's invincible domineering power expanded Galdan's ambitions. The emperor and the court knew that he had already turned his attention to the east and gathered troops.
Ma Yu wanted to compete with the Qing government for the Mongolian territory of Monan and Mobei.
For this matter, the emperor once again used Mingzhu to participate in the discussion. The atmosphere in the previous court was solemn, which naturally also affected the harem. The women knew that there was a big event in the court, and they all stayed calm and did not dare to cause trouble to the emperor.
But seeing that Mingzhu's reinstatement was no longer an empty show, and seeing that the emperor had other plans for Mingzhu, Concubine Hui finally let down her guard a little. She didn't know much about government affairs, but she knew that although Mingzhu was greedy, she was indeed talented, and for the emperor
He said that as long as he can help him govern the world and maintain peace, he can use good people or bad people, it all depends on his thoughts.
It was July in the blink of an eye, and the scorching heat finally dissipated. During the Ghost Festival to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Hui rarely appeared in front of people, but I don’t know whether she was really haggard or she was disguised with pink and white. In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Hui was indeed different.
How energetic. Then someone asked the eldest brother if he came to visit and asked why Dafujin didn't come into the palace. Concubine Hui was thinking about the children and said that it was inconvenient for Dafujin to enter the palace because of his bloated belly.
However, after listening to what was said, scattered gossip spread out, the eldest brother was afraid that others would provoke him and make his father unhappy, so the next day he brought the pot-bellied Fujin into the palace to pay his respects to his mother, and Concubine Hui finally saw her.
Pregnant daughter-in-law.
Dafujin hated her mother-in-law to the core. She had no choice but to go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. Besides the subsequent funeral, she had not set foot in the Forbidden City for more than half a year. She had been using poor health as an excuse. Anyway, as long as the emperor did not show up,
, even if Concubine Hui urged her three times a day, she would not move. She believed that her mother-in-law was from the palace and would never be able to leave the Forbidden City.
Today, Dafujin was forced into the palace by her husband. Dafujin kept a straight face and did not say a word when meeting her mother-in-law. Concubine Hui did not say anything unpleasant to her son. When the eldest brother was about to leave, Dafujin immediately
Follow up and say you have to leave.
The eldest brother was having a hard time and wanted to persuade his wife to stay and talk to his mother for a while. Dafujin looked at him and said, "I'm going to Ningshou Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and I'll come back later to talk to my mother." She relied on herself.
With her big belly, the maids did not dare to do anything to her. Without waiting for her husband to nod, they turned around, saluted her mother-in-law, and rushed out without looking back.
The eldest brother was stunned and only heard his mother sneer: "Now my son has really been surrendered by his wife?"
Da Fujin left the Changchun Palace here and walked randomly with a mixture of grief and anger. Several palace maids following behind him were frightened and overwhelmed. However, when he saw a carriage approaching in front of him, he quickly stopped him: "Fu Jin, be careful, don't hit him.
