The news of the attack on Concubine De spread quickly. There were so many Mrs. Fujin watching that day, and they couldn't hide it. When the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law mentioned it, it spread from family to family, and it soon became a matter known to everyone in the court.
, news came to the palace the next day. When I heard that the eldest brother had rescued Concubine De from the wolf's mouth with his bare hands, Concubine Hui was completely stunned.
Her son came into the palace in the afternoon to pay her respects. He came in with his arms hanging around his neck. She sat him down and took off his clothes to look at the wound. She burst into tears and said, "Little beast, what can you do to save me?"
She, if you die, what will happen to my mother?"
The eldest brother said with a smile: "The wolf was not big, so I didn't think much about it at the time. I pounced on it and caught it. Fortunately, the third brother brought a knife with him, otherwise it would have been a bit confusing."
Concubine Hui was so angry that she wanted to slap him in the face, but she couldn't bear it. Instead, she hugged her son and said, "Idiot, don't do such a thing again. Didn't I just tell you not to behave in front of your mother?"
Okay, you have to keep a low profile during these days. Whether you are stupid or not, your life is almost at stake."
Yinti didn't take it seriously. He raised his eyes and saw the table full of gold and silver jewelry. He smiled and asked his mother: "Is it a gift from the emperor?"
Concubine Hui said sadly: "Who cares?"
But the eldest brother stood up happily, picked out a bracelet and a pair of bracelets, and said to his mother with a smile: "I brought it back. He asked me for a new pair of bracelets a few days ago."
Concubine Hui said angrily: "She doesn't feel sorry for you being hurt?"
"She scolded me like her grandson and cried for most of the night. She was much harsher than my mother." The eldest brother joked as if he really didn't care, but he put the bracelet in his arms and asked softly after sitting down, "
Does E Niang think that I shouldn’t save Concubine De?”
Concubine Hui's face turned pale and she coughed dryly: "What did you say?"
The eldest brother smiled bitterly: "Your daughter-in-law said I was stupid last night. I don't know how many people hated me behind my back. Concubine De was originally bitten to death by a wolf, and many people would have applauded her, but I saved her."
"She knows a lot, I underestimated her." Concubine Hui sneered, glanced at her son and said, "No matter what, you saved me, your emperor will remember this love and treat you
It’s not a bad thing.”
"I didn't think so much at the time. I rushed forward in desperation." The eldest brother said proudly, "I turned around and Huang Ama came to see me, patted me on the shoulder and said that I have grown up, and I can really do it.
Only after I took responsibility for him did I feel that it was really worth it. Emperor Ama has never praised me so much."
Concubine Hui didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and said disdainfully: "If you saved a palace maid, he wouldn't even raise his eyebrows, and he might even scold you for overestimating your capabilities, but you saved the person who is dear to his heart."
, can he not be grateful to you?"
"That's why it's worth it." The eldest brother was so proud that he grabbed the cakes on the table and ate them. He said in a good mood, "The emperor said that I am brave and courageous and will be a general on the battlefield in the future. You see, if this time
In the battle against Junggar, I will be indispensable. Mother, I am going to make a great contribution. Compared with the weak scholar like the prince, I help Emperor Ama stabilize the country on horseback. Only then can he understand that I am better than the second child."
"Don't be frivolous. Your Majesty Ama looks at people's hearts. There are not many people in the world who are simple in his eyes." Concubine Hui sighed, poured tea for her son and asked him to deliver the dry cakes, and then warned, "
Listen to my mother-in-law and put away your arrogance and brilliance. You have nothing now, so if you argue with the prince at every turn, your emperor will only hate you."
The eldest brother smiled and said: "Why do I think Huang Ama likes me more? Every time he sees me, he will inevitably scold me, but he will also say some interesting things. We have something to say. But he talks to me
Second, they don’t talk much, they don’t look like father and son at all.”
Concubine Hui frowned and asked softly: "Is it always like this?"
"Absolutely. Anyway, the second brother became a dull gourd when he saw Huang Ama. However, he doesn't talk much and doesn't get along with the brothers." The eldest brother stuffed his mouth full of pastries and said with a bulging voice, "He is
Don’t you think you are the heir apparent and look down on us?”
Concubine Hui sighed and said to her son seriously: "Don't worry about the prince, do your duty, listen to E Niang's advice, and don't stand out again."
The eldest brother agreed perfunctorily, but in fact he was still immersed in yesterday's feat. It was the first time in his life that he received such a high praise from his father. He still can't calm down. Although his mother and wife said that he was too reckless, he was impatient.
At worst, I ignored him. The high-spirited young man was full of thoughts about making achievements and showing off his ambitions.
After her son left the palace, Concubine Hui successively received several concubines who had not gone to the garden. They all came to ask how the eldest brother was doing, and they were able to get close to Concubine Hui. Although the Changchun Palace was not as good as before due to the loss of Mingzhu Mansion, the concubines were still there.
My elder brother has become more and more dazzling recently. Among all the princes, the emperor seems to like the eldest son the most. Last year, he was often appointed to empress Xiaoyi's funeral. This time he saved De Fei again. As far as the emperor cares about De Concubine, the eldest brother is nothing less than the rescuer.
The emperor himself was the emperor, and this was something worth remembering for a lifetime. In this way, no one dared to neglect the Changchun Palace anymore, and Concubine Hui had never been against others, and she still greeted her with a smile on all sides.
After the guests dispersed and they were finally quiet, they closed the door of Changchun Palace. Yanzhu ran in all the way, holding his heart in his hands and saying: "I'm scared to death. It's great that the eldest brother is fine. Please tell me about this, my Majesty."
Son, long live the Lord, can you find it on the master's head?"
Concubine Hui breathed heavily, shook her head and said: "This wolf was raised by the people of Suo'etu. Don't worry, once the emperor finds the prince, he will not continue to investigate. He is afraid of digging too deep and there will be no way."
The son and the prince continue to be father and son."
Yan Zhu sighed and said: "Fortunately, the eldest brother is fine. No wonder the adults have repeatedly warned the eldest brother not to show off in front of the Long Live Lord, but it turned out to be such a dangerous thing."
Concubine Hui let out a long sigh: "I have always wondered what his plan was, but I didn't expect to take this step. Mingzhu must have thought that if he could instigate Concubine De and the prince to turn against each other, the emperor would be in a dilemma. If either party is harmed, it will be harmful to us.
All are beneficial. The fourth elder brother is smart and will definitely be a talent in the future. It will also be a stumbling block when he grows up. What's more important is that the fourth elder brother has De Concubine, his mother-in-law, to rely on. Don't look at the fact that Wu Ya has no family support behind her. With her face
, is enough to protect your son in front of the emperor."
"Your Majesty, please talk to the eldest brother carefully. You see, this time you are in danger." Yanzhu was frightened and babbled, "Why do you think that the eldest brother is very excited? I am not afraid at all."
Concubine Hui was filled with worries. What Yanzhu said was true. She knew that her son was upright and kind-hearted, but he was lured step by step by herself and Mingzhu into competing for the throne. He calmed down and listened to others, but he didn't understand.
It was time to save Concubine De, but he didn't think so at that moment.
"He is like slapping me in the face." Concubine Hui felt great pain in her heart. She didn't know where she was struggling. She clutched her chest tightly and said, "How much virtue did that woman accumulate in her previous life?"
In the Changchun Garden, the Queen Mother wanted to visit Lan Qi in person, but Huan Chun, sent by Lan Qi, repeatedly stopped her before giving up. The other concubines did not dare to neglect, and came in groups. Even Concubine Yi came to express her condolences in a decent manner.
However, the news about a wolf in the garden was so popular that the women were all panic-stricken. After coming to see the scene, they hid in their own courtyards, fearing that there were wild beasts lurking somewhere and might jump out and hurt people at any time.
Bu Gui and Duan Concubine took care of things in Ruijingxuan for Lan Qi, leading Yinxiang Yinqi and several children. Concubine Rong accompanied Lan Qi and was twisting a handkerchief to wipe her arms. Lan Qi smiled innocently.
: "I actually let my sister serve me. I am a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes."
Concubine Rong clicked her tongue and said: "You are good, I can come to serve you every day. My legs were weak yesterday. I want to see you and you can't even move. You said that this matter has caused such a fuss that they don't dare to go out now."
, I usually look forward to pretending to meet the emperor in the garden, but now I am afraid of running into a wolf."
Lan Qi laughed out loud, her waist was affected and she couldn't help but let out an ouch of pain. Concubine Rong scolded her for being honest, but she said: "This trick of chance encounters has been played by some people in the early years. Sister, do you remember giving birth to the emperor?"
Princess, but Zhang, who died in infancy, agreed to wait for the emperor on the roadside in the hot summer, but ended up fainting from heatstroke. No one pitied her, and everyone rushed to laugh at her. "
Concubine Rong put down her sleeves and covered her with the quilt and said, "How many years ago did you remember? That Zhang promised to be gone now, but there was another Zhang promised. Today I saw her wandering outside the door of Ruijingxuan.
, but was taken away by Concubine Yi. Alas..."
"Really?" Lan Qi smiled faintly, thinking to herself, she really wants to see Xing'er.
Concubine Rong laughed and said with some joy: "Didn't the emperor specially give one of the short knives that Korea paid tribute to Yinzhi? He is so rare that he carries it with him every day and even hugs him when he sleeps. I always say that he is so
The eldest child was like a little baby and refused to let go of the treasure. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. The eldest brother came into the garden to remove weapons. At that time, except for Yinzhi, who had a knife in his waist, no one had one at hand.
Guy."
"Has Yinzhen gone to thank his third brother?" Lan Qi said with a smile, "Let Yinzhen thank Yinzhi for me. My sister also told Yinzhi that when I get better, I will get him whatever he wants.
"
Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Both brothers live in Taoyuan Bookstore. I must have thanked you. The emperor sent someone to ask me to reward my son. I thought to myself that there is nothing wrong with him. It is all the credit of the eldest brother.
." He paused and said softly, "I did meet Concubine Hui later..."
"You should thank her." Lan Qi smiled faintly, looked at Concubine Rong, and said meaningfully, "The eldest brother was injured so seriously, and he was on the line between life and death. What do you think she should think? Sister Rong, if I die,
The situation in the palace is very different. Who will you find to help you manage the harem? No matter who caused this, I don’t think many people really applauded me for surviving the catastrophe, and it didn’t matter to her either.
Likewise, the most embarrassing thing is that her son saved me. You said I should say thank you when I meet him in the future, is that right?"
