Huan Chun sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the prince's predecessors and his successors. He has always looked at gentle and elegant people, but on the contrary, the eldest brother said he looked at the frizzy one, but in the mansion, he treated Fujin Baiyibai.
He is docile and gentle to his servants."
"Let's stop talking about it here. Don't mention it again. Whether it's the eldest brother or the prince, people in our room can't discuss it. You also go and warn the people below, don't let them hear it outside and come back to gossip."
Lan Qi rubbed her forehead to relieve fatigue, and added one more instruction, "The rules in Ruijingxuan are more stringent. The garden is not as strict as the Forbidden City. If you have taken the trouble to look after it for several months, I'm afraid you won't be here for a long time this time."
Sure enough, there was an imperial edict the next day, and it was decided that the tenth day of April and the fifteenth day of May would be the day when the prince would enter the palace, and the fifteenth day of May would be the day when the eldest princess would get married. The eldest princess was canonized as Princess Heshuo Chunxi.
The marriage was arranged to the Mongolian Horqin tribe's Taiji Borzigit clan, and she would soon be married to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's hometown.
As soon as the good news came out, Duan Concubine's place was packed with guests. Even Concubine Hui, who was in the palace, sent people to send congratulatory gifts together with other concubines. It was a lively two days. The eldest princess was almost twenty years old, so she had a lot of emotional relief.
Feeling reluctant and sad, she followed the concubine and accepted the congratulations magnanimously, and only showed a bit of shyness when she came to kowtow to the imperial grandmother.
The Queen Mother was happy that her granddaughter was going to marry in her hometown, and her words inevitably brought up the feeling of homesickness and the past ten years for the Queen Mother. Everyone comforted and persuaded her, and it took a while before she became happy again. After that, they dispersed, leaving Lan Qi behind.
Speak alone.
The Queen Mother had nothing else to do. First, she said that the Lantern Festival party was omitted, so that she could save some energy to deal with the big things in the future. She said that it would take a month or two to prepare for the wedding, so she would not bother her to arrange a dinner for herself. Second, she had nothing to do.
Then she sighed to Lan Qi: "It's such a happy event that Chunxi is getting married. Everyone is excited about it, but no one dares to mention that the prince wants to pay attention to Fujin. A child without a mother is pitiful. Others don't know where to send gifts."
No matter where he is, no one can teach him how to live as a family in the future. Every time he comes to say hello and stands there politely, I can't even get close to him, and I don't know where to start with these words. But look at the big picture
When my brother comes, he is always affectionate and affectionate, he is just so lovable."
Lan Qi also knows the difference here. The prince has not been cared for by his mother since he was a child. Even if he has an adoptive mother, the wet nurses in Yuqing Palace are all on errands for the emperor. They are so polite that they dare not say a word.
Serving the prince is very different from serving an ordinary elder brother. Who dares to reason with the prince, and his father is always very serious with him. Even the fourth elder brother can act coquettishly, but the prince cannot.
"Lan Qi, I know it's difficult for you. You can't interfere in the prince's affairs, but you can tell the emperor. I have an idea in my heart." The Queen Mother has always been kind-hearted. Although there are various rumors recently that the prince is not good, she
Still pitying the prince for having no mother, he told Lan Qi, "Go and talk to the emperor. Why don't you let Prince Yu Fu Jin teach the prince? She is the eldest aunt and an elder with status. Maybe she is more suitable than you concubines in the harem."
Some, they have also arranged marriage matters for their children, so they will understand."
"If you think this idea is good, it depends on what the emperor means. I'm also worried that the palace can't find a suitable person to guide the prince." Lan Qi agreed with the Queen Mother's idea. She really didn't expect that several Fujins could do it.
It came in handy. Maybe the sisters-in-law were always polite and didn't have any close contact with each other on weekdays. Her original intention was not to trouble others.
Afterwards, Lan Qi discussed with Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong also felt that it was okay, because it was not an important matter. Lan Qi pushed Concubine Rong to talk to the emperor. Naturally, she had good intentions and wanted to keep Sister Rong well in front of Xuan Ye, and Concubine Rong also appreciated it.
, when it was discussed at Qingxi Bookstore, Xuan Ye really agreed.
It turned out that everyone was worried about who should teach the prince. If the queen mother had not mentioned it, no one would have thought that this method would be possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. In this happy time, there was bad news. The concubine in the eldest brother's house had a miscarriage and she was still a boy. The concubine suffered a lot of physical injuries.
I don’t know what will happen in the future.
Concubine Hui was not optimistic about the concubine's birth. She was anxious to have the emperor's eldest grandson, but she valued the child's background. Otherwise, she would have tried to get more women around for Yinti. But even if she hated her daughter-in-law, she had to
Wait patiently for your daughter-in-law to give birth to a son. The emperor's eldest grandson will be the most valuable.
"If it's gone, it's gone. I'll go to Changchun Garden for the festival tomorrow. Don't be sad when I tell you about Amma. Do you know how many of your brothers and sisters have never seen the light of day? What's so strange about it." Concubine Hui was very cold.
He even warned his son, "Your wife has taken good care of herself. You should hope that she will give you children."
The eldest brother agreed. He gradually learned that he had to have different attitudes in front of his wife and in front of his mother in order to be at peace with each other. Now she agrees to whatever his mother says. When he returns home, he can discuss everything with his wife. Although his wife is not a stunning beauty, she can
He served him extremely well and was very attentive inside and out. He now relied more on his wife than on his mother. With such a rare thing, he often had something to do with Concubine Hui, and most of the time he had a perfunctory attitude towards Concubine Hui.
At this moment, Yanzhu came to serve tea and snacks, but was signaled by the master to retreat. There was no third person in the room. Concubine Hui pulled her son and whispered: "Do you also know about the prince's things in Changchun Garden?"
The eldest brother smiled jokingly: "It is said that those two palace maids must have been slept with by the prince. The prince is also an adult, so don't be so nervous."
Hearing her son say "slept over" without any scruples, Concubine Hui, who had been staying in the boudoir for many years, blushed. She cursed for not being serious, and then continued: "The prince has not been doing well lately, you
The calmer Huang Ama's face is, the more turbulent his heart is. He may be disappointed with the prince. At this time, you must not go to show off how capable and outstanding you are in front of him. Just go when Huang Ama comes to you.
Let's talk, and when I'm not looking for you, just go about your business quietly. If you show up at this time, he will hate you."
The eldest brother curled his lips and said: "It's really troublesome. Speaking of which, apart from studying, my son has almost no time to do anything serious every day. Emperor Ama didn't let me do anything important."
"How old are you? It took more than ten years for those ministers to get to the emperor, but they were still tied up and unable to realize their ambitions. When will it be the turn of a young boy like you to point fingers?" Concubine Hui scolded, but then she smiled and said, "You
My uncle sent me a message a few days ago. At present, Mobei is in a tight situation. Tsarist Russia instigated Galdan to have trouble with the Qing Dynasty. Your emperor, Ama, calmly ran to live in Changchun Garden. It looked leisurely and comfortable, but secretly he was already there.
Arrange military supplies, I’m afraid we’ll have to fight a war with the Junggar tribe this year.”
The eldest brother was excited after hearing this. Concubine Hui knew her son's temper best and said to him: "When the time comes for the court to select people to lead the troops, your uncles will find ways for you to follow them. You have never been on the battlefield, so you will just learn from it."
You see, I'm not worried about your safety. But don't be stupid and come up with random ideas. You have to be humble. You just go to see what fighting is like. When the time comes, you can always share a cup of the victory wine.
, in the future, the eldest brother will be the prince who has won the battle, do you understand?"
The eldest brother is eager to try. Hearing that there is going to be a war, his eyes light up. He has been good at riding and shooting since he was a child. Experts say that he will definitely become a general in the future. Now that he has finally grown up and finally encountered a war, he is eager to do so.
Tomorrow we will ride into battle, whip up our whips, and raise our guns.
"It's still a secret right now, but you must not tell it to others, not even your wife." Concubine Hui glanced at her son, and she knew that her son was more focused on his wife now, and was somewhat perfunctory with her, but he couldn't be careless about important things.
, held hands and warned again and again, "I am telling you now to ask you to pay attention to your performance these days. Your Ama is watching with cold eyes. But this matter is a secret of the imperial court. It must not be revealed, which will offend your Ama."
, he will never give you another chance in his life."
His mother was alarmist, but his eldest brother believed him. Over the years, he began to walk in the court and watched how officials, big and small, dealt with the emperor. He gradually realized that he did not have many advantages as a prince. To the emperor, he was just an errand boy.
, Cheng Huan’s family happiness, there are many younger brothers and sisters to satisfy their father, and his father will not seek this kind of comfort in himself.
"Don't worry, Niang, I will definitely strive for success and let everyone see the majesty of the eldest son of the emperor." The eldest brother said to his mother in high spirits, "Niang, I still have to fight for that position."
On the Lantern Festival the next day, there was no celebration in the palace garden. Only a few princes Fujin entered the garden to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Naturally, the eldest brother also came. The bad news in his palace was somewhat embarrassing, and he was still a boy. It was so easy to do so.
The long-awaited grandson of the emperor was gone, and everyone comforted the empress dowager in person, but privately they didn't know how to ridicule the Changchun Palace that their hopes had failed.
The male family members paid their respects and went to the emperor. The female family members had lunch with the Queen Mother. Because the weather was very good, the Queen Mother asked them to go to the garden to relax. Lan Qi, as a landlord, accompanied several Mrs. Fujin to the garden.
They were chatting and laughing all the way, and before they knew it, when they reached the lakeside, Lan Qi stopped and said, "Brothers all live there, so it's not convenient for us to go there. The first lady, Concubine Yi, said that the spring plum blossoms in her yard are blooming.
, why not go to her house to drink tea and enjoy the flowers."
But just as he finished speaking, the group was about to turn to Yi Fei's courtyard when they saw several boys coming from the front. The eldest brother led a few brothers, the third brother, fourth brother and fifth brother were all there, all of them had faces.
They were all smiling, not knowing why they were happy.
Now that the two places have met, the aunts and aunts here are the elders, so the children naturally have to step forward to salute. Lan Qi stood aside and looked at the boys with a smile, but she heard someone laugh and say: "Brothers have really grown up.
I used to see them as a bunch of kids, but now they are so tall."
Lan Qi listened with a smile, and suddenly felt the wind behind her, and the tassel hanging on her bun was blown into pieces. She raised her hand to touch it, turned around to see the direction of the wind, but saw a black shadow jumping out of the bushes, before she could turn around.
