"Wish?" Brother Si looked at his mother, a smile gradually appeared on his somewhat serious face, and asked softly, "Mother, do you want me to marry Yuxi as soon as possible?"
Lan Qi was surprised and even more surprised to ask: "How do you know?"
Yinzhen leaned on the edge of the bed and said, "Otherwise, what common wish can you and Huang's mother have?"
Lan Qi saw a smile in his eyes and didn't resist at all. If she said she was smart, she might as well have had such a wish. While she was happy, she fell into her jealousy habit. She patted her son on the head and said, "That's it for marrying Yuxi."
"Happy, don't look so happy in front of me, I really don't like her."
Yinzhen said with disdain: "I used to think that Queen E's mother liked to act coquettishly, just like a child. Every time I see you, I think that I still have a dignified and gentle mother. But now I feel that E's mother likes to act more mischievously."
, What exactly does Huang Ama like about you? Yu Xi is not like that."
Lan Qi stared at her son, and the fourth elder brother was very happy. He pinched E Niang's legs and arms diligently to make her happy. Lan Qi sighed: "E Niang used to think about why the Queen loves you so much. Why on earth can you do this?"
Let her love you with all her heart."
There was a hint of sadness in Yinzhen's eyes, but he still smiled and asked his mother why. Lan Qi smiled and said: "Because my son is so popular."
When he said this, Huan Chun happened to come in. The fourth elder brother's face turned red. Huanchun suppressed a smile and said, "I steamed the shrimp shaomai that the fourth elder brother likes to eat. The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also woke up."
Yinzhen probably felt embarrassed, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands and take them to eat together."
When her son left, Lan Qi was still smiling and happy in bed. Huan Chun was happy to see her, but she kindly advised him: "Didn't you say that you should be strong in front of the fourth elder brother? Now you are always acting coquettishly with the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother will come back later."
I don’t want to rely on you anymore.”
But Lan Qi closed her eyes and said with contentment: "When Thirty-Four grows up, I will treat them like this, and play coquettishly with my own son. I feel very at ease, and feel that there is a man in this world who will love me wholeheartedly.
I’m not afraid that he will have extraneous intentions.”
Huan Chun said with a smile: "My Majesty has said this, and Long Live Master will not be happy."
Lan Qi said disdainfully: "There are so many women, and I don't even believe them when they say he has no affair, so how can I believe him?"
Huan Chun laughed again: "In the future, my brothers will get married and marry Fujin, but they will love their wives more than their mothers."
But Lan Qi waved her hands and said proudly: "That's different." She pulled Huan Chun's sleeve and said, "It's a pity that you stay with me forever, otherwise you will get married and have children, and you will understand why I am happy."
"You have met a good son, but not everyone can give birth to a good child, otherwise where in the world would such evil people come from?" Huan Chun was very sincere.
While they were talking, the fourth elder brother came, leading a pair of tough-minded young brothers. When the fourteenth elder brother saw E Niang, he was about to pounce on him, but his elder brother held him firmly and scolded him: "E Niang is injured. This
I won’t be able to hug you for half a year, and I won’t be able to pester you.”
How did Xiao Si know this? When his brother scolded him with a cold face, he opened his mouth to cry, and tried even harder to run to his mother to seek shelter. Yi Zhen asked Shi San to stand still, but Yin Xiang just stood there obediently.
, he picked up Brother Fourteen who was crying and went out. Lan Qi looked at the two brothers worriedly. When they got outside, Brother Fourteen was still crying heartbrokenly. He had just learned to call E Niang these days, and he shouted loudly.
Lan Qi felt heartbroken.
"Yinxiang, come here." Seeing that the thirteenth brother was still there, Lan Qi smiled and asked the child to come over, but Yinxiang clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head: "The fourth brother doesn't want me to move, I can't come over."
Lan Qi and Huan Chun looked at each other and smiled. Huan Chun stepped forward and hugged Brother Thirteen, and coaxed with a smile: "Do we, Brother Thirteen, listen to your brother so much?"
The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said happily: "I listen to the fourth brother the most, and I like the fourth brother the most."
Lan Qi's heart suddenly shook when she heard the tender child's voice, and tears burst out uncontrollably. The missing piece in her heart could never be replaced. Every time she touched it, it was a heart-breaking pain. She thought that all these years
The pain faded away, but the pain arose. Every bit of the past was in front of her eyes, but her Yinzuo was gone.
"Don't cry, Mom, I'm here." Yinxiang saw his mother crying and ran to her side anxiously. He touched Lan Qi's cheek with his chubby little hands and coaxed her nervously, as if he was worried that he couldn't do well.
He turned around and ran out. Not long after, Yinzhen ran back and looked at his mother who was crying inexplicably. Yinxiang pulled him beside him and Jiao Didi said, "Fourth brother, I didn't make my mother cry. Fourth brother, I'm very good."
Yinzhen felt as if he was in a trance, and instantly understood the reason for his mother's tears. Lan Qi did not dare to cry anymore when she saw her eldest son. She wiped away her tears and smiled at them. The fourth elder brother took his mother's wet hand.
Said: "Mom, I will take good care of my brothers, just like before."
Lan Qi smiled through tears, nodded and trusted her son, and said smoothly: "How about the end of next year?"
Yinzhen didn't understand for a moment, but when he remembered the topic that had been accidentally diverted just now, he felt a little shy. He touched Yinxiang's head with one hand and said softly: "I listen to my mother."
At the end of next year, the fourth elder brother will observe the 27-month filial piety period for Queen Xiaoyi. Although he is too young, Xuan Ye got married earlier, so age is not an obstacle. He suddenly decided that his son should get married as soon as possible. Lan Qi was not
She was anxious for him to start a family and start a business, but she realized the weakness of her own strength and how important the support was for the prince. Her natal family was not enough, so she had to rely on her daughter-in-law's natal family. Uranala was
Big family.
After comforting his mother, Yinzhen led the thirteenth brother out. The fourteenth brother was still sitting on the stone steps outside the door crying. Yinzhen walked down and asked, "Do you want to go have snacks with me?"
Little Fourteen sobbed in grievance and stretched out his hands to hug him. When his brother picked him up, he lay on his shoulders and sobbed and acted like a baby, pretending to be pitiful. However, his brother said: "If you don't eat much for a while, you are worse than your Thirteenth Brother."
As for Shen, I can hardly hold her anymore."
Huan Chun stood in front of the door, watching the fourth elder brother hugging the younger elder brother and holding the thirteenth elder brother. The backs of the three brothers were so beautiful. He felt warm in his heart. He immediately ran back and told his master about this scene. Lan Qi smiled with peace of mind.
He said: "Yin Zhen is a good brother. In the past, the Empress Dowager was worried that he would change his temper because of the loss of Yi Zuo. Now it seems that this is not the case. He loved Yi Zuo so much at the beginning, wasn't it because he naturally liked his brothers?
"
Speaking of children, I have to think of Yinxiang's mother. Myolie was taken away by Concubine Yi yesterday. I don't know what she said. After entering the garden, she served the emperor once and was quiet the rest of the time.
, Lan Qi's heart aches every time she thinks of her, and she laments that moment by moment, when she first entered the garden, the lively and cheerful Zhang Yaosheng who was so lively and cheerful that he would run to catch small fish for Wen Xian disappeared.
"Find a way to get Yinxiang to get closer to his mother. In another year, he will tell the child who his biological mother is. We can't ask him to deny his biological mother." Lan Qi made a decision in her heart, "Sir Brother and I
No matter what, Yinxiang should do the same with his mother. The more Myolie treats me, the more I have to take her feelings into consideration."
Huan Chun said with a smile: "Let's talk about everything after you get better. The imperial doctor said that you should lie still for a month or two. The emperor has issued a strict decree, at least for two months. During these two months, you will not be able to interfere with the prince's marriage or the princess's marriage."
It’s so hard to take time off when you’re so focused.”
Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "How could it be such a coincidence? How could I avoid the prince's important matter with dignity?"
Speaking of the prince, Huan Chun whispered that there were rumors in the garden, saying that the wolf was raised by the prince's uncle, Mr. Suo'etu. Lan Qi had heard it from Concubine Rong, and now Huan Chun also told it, so she knew that the wolf was raised by the prince's uncle, Mr. Suo'etu.
It was so bad that he sighed deeply: "Your Majesty is really annoyed."
As she said, Xuan Ye was very annoyed. He hesitated at least four or five times today whether to call the prince to ask whether the wolf had anything to do with him, but he just felt that in the eyes of others and courtiers, he would
It turned out that for the sake of a beloved concubine, she blamed the prince and even doubted him.
He didn't want anyone to take the opportunity to sow discord between their father and son. Lan Qi was right. He treated the prince not at all like a father treating his son. He gradually felt depressed. He was doing a good job as an emperor and was still young and powerful. Why should he show off?
A prince is ready to succeed him at any time? He will have inexplicable thoughts for no reason, and feel that they are looking forward to his death all the time.
Xuan Ye often has thoughts of regret in private. Would it have been better if he had not established a prince? But even to Lan Qi, he would not say it out loud. Reason and calmness still exist, and he understands that everything is beneficial.
There are disadvantages, and he cannot just look at the disadvantages and forget all the advantages.
At this moment, I was sitting in the study, with a bunch of papers in front of me and no intention of reading. I had just concentrated on solving a few military supplies transportation problems with the ministers. Now that I was free, I was worried about the wolf and waited impatiently.
When Eunuch Liang came back from delivering the message, he would often ask people outside why he hadn't come back yet.
After a long time, I finally heard the sound of footsteps. Eunuch Tianliang, who was running in the first month of the new year, his face was red. He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted and reported: "Long live my lord, I have found out. That wolf is indeed raised by Suo'etu's family."
, it was raised by the wolf cub that the prince caught back then."
Xuan Ye never paid attention to this kind of thing. He didn't even know that Suo'etu's family helped the prince raise a wolf. In the past, he asked Mr. Li to reveal his informants and Yuqing Palace had to report to him every detail, but it had the opposite effect.
He gradually felt that after knowing everything about every move, he didn't know what key points to focus on and remember.
In the past two years, not only have I not gotten to know my son better, but I have become more and more unfamiliar with him, and I can no longer understand what he is thinking. So I relaxed my supervision of the prince a little, hoping to ease the relationship between father and son. As a result, after I relaxed, the prince was left alone last year.
There were so many shameless things happening in the garden.
But Eunuch Liang immediately said: "My servant found out that the person responsible for raising wolves for Master Suo'etu is dead. He said he committed suicide out of fear of crime."
