"The Empress Dowager?" Yu Xi was surprised. She lowered her head and looked at the exquisite jewelry in the box. She didn't particularly like gold, silver and jade. It was just because it was a gift from Empress Dowager De that it was of great significance, so she couldn't put it down. But she didn't expect that she couldn't put it down.
, these things were left behind by the Empress Dowager.
Jueluo packed up these things, worried that she would break them or lose them, and said with a smile: "All the things here will be sent to the palace together with the dowry prepared by E Niang for you. You must take good care of them in the future."
Keep it, there are many people in the palace, and if there is anything wrong, if you feel that it is not suitable to keep it by your side, you can leave it to Concubine De. Yuxi, after you get married in November, these things will never happen again.
I can’t worry about you anymore. E Niang is a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. I didn’t expect that my daughter would marry back to the Aisin Gioro family. It’s such a fate.”
"Don't worry, Mother, I will keep it well." Yu Xi responded, with a tender expression and eyes full of reluctance. Jue Luo turned around and sat next to her, saying softly, "You are not in good health.
Be careful, everyone in the palace is there to serve the emperor, don’t cause any trouble to Concubine De, it will be fine after she moves out in two years."
Yuxi grabbed E Niang's hand, with melancholy visible on her face, and said with worry: "I heard that Concubine Hui has been forcing her eldest brother Fu Jin to give birth to a grandson for her. E Niang, I am not in good health. If there is nothing I can do,
If I have a child, will Fourth Brother and Concubine De dislike me?"
Jueluo sighed: "Ms. De Fei is not that kind of person. You are the elder brother Fu Jin whom the emperor granted marriage to. Even if you have no heirs, as long as you and the fourth elder brother are in love, no one will shake your status. If you have no heirs,
, the fourth elder brother will have a wife named Fujin and Gege in the future, and the children they have will also be your children."
"Mother, what will my future be like?" Yuxi frowned deeply, her eyes were moist, and she murmured, "Mother, after I move out of the Forbidden City in two years, will I really move back again?
?”
This sentence was said very softly, and I felt that Luo Shi didn't really hear it. He just thought that her daughter was too nervous and was afraid that she would not be able to have children in the future because of her poor health. He gently comforted her, but she didn't know that her daughter had other things in mind. As early as
Two years ago, Queen Xiaoyi planted the seeds in her heart."
A few days after the initial appointment, Jueluo went into the palace to express his gratitude to Concubine De. There were no such rules, but because Jueluo had often been in and out of the palace in his early years, and had been in close contact with Empress Xiaoyi and Concubine De, it was considered as entering the palace to pay her respects.
As a matter of course, Lan Qi and her went to Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then returned to Yonghe Palace to talk privately.
Huan Chun set up a tea table in the courtyard under the sun, and the two mothers sat across from each other to drink tea. When asked about Yu Xi's health, Jue Luo hesitated for a while and then said: "I am incompetent, and Yu Xi's body is always not as good as expected. I'm afraid she will go to the hospital."
I'm going to cause trouble to you in the future, so please forgive me."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "Children are weak, just take good care of them." As she spoke, she felt Luo Shi's eyes were filled with meaning, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, so she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Mr. Jueluo's face tightened, and he pursed his lips and stared at Empress De Fei. He left his seat in a moment and bowed deeply in front of Lan Qi. Lan Qi hurriedly said: "Why is this? Sit down and talk."
"Empress De, I am incompetent." Jueluo said with tears, "I failed to take good care of Yuxi, this child's body and bones..."
"Sit down and talk." Lan Qi's heart was pounding. She was so afraid that Yu Xi was seriously ill and would not be able to stay together with Yinzhen in the future.
"Empress De Fei, the doctor said that although Yu Xi is always prone to illness, she may not live long." When the mother said these words, her heart was as sharp as a knife, "But she has such a weak body, I'm afraid she won't be able to conceive in the future.
Even if I get pregnant, I don't know if my body can bear it. It's my concubine's fault, my dear."
Lan Qi's heart was shocked. She never expected that the doctor had already made such a conclusion about Yuxi. But even if the doctor didn't say these words, just looking at Yuxi's sickly appearance, it really didn't look like she was fertile. Although
She is not stubborn about whether her daughter-in-law can have children, but if Yuxi has no children, it will definitely be a great harm to herself. She is still young now, and in six or seven years, her brother and sister-in-law will have children.
My child, Yuxi should be unable to bear it.
"If this is the case, it is destined by God." Lan Qi took a deep breath and comforted Jue Luo, "Let's first hope that the two children will love each other for a long time. It is really not helpful to not be anxious about the heirs, even if there is a relationship between brothers in the future.
It can also be adopted."
Mrs. Jueluo knew in her heart that even ordinary people couldn't accept her daughter's behavior. Even if she concealed it before marriage, if she had no children for many years after marriage, she would be doomed to be bullied. But now her daughter is marrying into the royal family as soon as she gets married, and the heirs are even more so.
It was a very important matter. If it had been another empress, her children would have suffered. Seeing that Empress Dowager De was so gentle and kind, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She kowtowed and thanked her, saying, "I've been sorry to my empress, but I deserve your consideration.
I’m really ashamed.”
Lan Qi sighed: "Don't say that to Yu Xi, it will scare her. We'll talk about the future later, so just leave your daughter to me with peace of mind."
Generosity and tolerance are inevitable. The child's poor health is not anyone's fault. Lan Qi will not complain about Queen Xiaoyi's decision to choose Yuxi as her daughter-in-law in the early years. She herself loves the child. But.
After all, it is a regret in her heart. Even if she doesn't care, Yuxi will feel deeply guilty for this. This will become a big obstacle for her to face herself and Yinzhen's concubine in the future. I hope she can think openly and don't
It becomes a burden that cannot be shaken off in a lifetime.
Holding back the discomfort in her heart, Lan Qi told Bu Guiren these things. Bu Guiren was also very sorry, but he advised her optimistically: "It's just saying this now. I don't know what will happen in the future. Look at Sister Ying'er, don't you think so?"
After turning things around, how many imperial doctors declared that she could no longer have children? As a result, she gave birth to such a fat and white boy. The Queen once loved Yuxi so much, and the gods in heaven will protect her. "
Lan Qi said: "I like to listen to what my sister has to say. After talking to my mother-in-law, I only feel resentment and sadness. I understand her thoughts, but in my heart I still hope for God's reward. Don't be as pessimistic as her."
Bu Guiren said: "I understand the thought of marrying a daughter. She is afraid that Yuxi will be wronged, so I don't blame her."
Naturally, this matter should not be told to outsiders. Bu Gui people are not talkative women. No one except Lan Qi would say such thoughtful words, and Huan Chun knew about it. Huan Chun always kept saying what would happen if the fourth elder brother had Fujin in the future. Lan Qi
He also promised that when she grew old, she would be sent to her sons' mansion to take care of her. When she heard that Si Fujin might not be able to have children, she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Madam, during the two years that Fujin has been in the palace, my servants will definitely raise her to a white and fat body."
.”
Everyone around her was so optimistic. Lan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and happily looked forward to November coming soon, when she would be a mother-in-law. And during these more than a month, nothing weird would happen in the palace.
She didn't want anything to disturb her son's wedding.
September flies by. The first day of October is the birthday of the thirteenth elder brother. The child is already six years old. The emperor has made a plan to study in the study after the spring of next year. It just so happens that the fourth elder brother will withdraw from Yuqing Palace after getting married.
He could still take care of his thirteenth brother in the study for two years. Yinxiang knew that he could study with his fourth brother, so he held the book every day and never let go. He was no longer too lazy to play with Yinzhen, so he watched and pestered him every day when Yinzhen came to pay his respects.
His elder brother taught him how to read.
Today is Yinxiang’s birthday. The Queen Mother and the Emperor both sent rewards early in the morning. Lan Qi took her thirteenth brother to Ningshou Palace and other places to pay tribute and thank him, and then sent him to Yanxi Palace during lunch time. Min Chang was there
She had prepared birthday noodles and buns early. Today was the first time she celebrated her son’s birthday, and there was a little princess waiting to be fed in her arms.
It also gradually receded.
Lan Qi originally wanted to avoid it and let their mother and son reunite, but Min Changzai said that there was no need to be alone. She was already very satisfied. Concubine Liu De and his wife ate longevity noodles together, and the nobleman Jue Chan and Yi agreed to join them. The thirteenth elder brother has the mold.
He endorsed it to them in a decent manner, and Yi promised to say with a smile: "Nobleman Juechan also has poems and books in his house. From now on, the Thirteenth Brother will come often so that Nobleman Juechan can teach him."
Lan Qi glanced at Jue Chan. She held the little princess tenderly, spoke kindly to the thirteenth brother, and guided him on how to make his sister happy. Such a warm and harmonious scene, Lan Qi really couldn't imagine Yinzhen's love for her.
She said that the disgust on Mr. Jue Chan's face when he vigorously wiped the eighth prince's hand made her always feel that her son might have been exaggerating. Maybe after the incident, he added a lot of his own imagination.
My elder brother is also very gentle, why would you treat your eighth elder brother like that?
But if all this is true, then there is nothing wrong with her being wary of Jue Chan from before.
In the afternoon of that day, the emperor's reward for Min Changzai was also sent to the Yanxi Palace. It seems that because Min Changzai is the biological mother of the thirteenth elder brother, this is also a special case. The birthdays of other elder brothers and princesses in the palace who were not raised under the biological mother's lap
At that time, the emperor did not think of their biological mother. Everyone knew that Min Chang was still the favored concubine in the palace.
That night, the emperor turned over the sign of Min Changzai, and the Qianqing Palace sent a sedan to take her to the Qianqing Palace. However, when the sedan landed in front of the Qianqing Palace, another soft sedan also stopped. Wang Chang was there.
He walked out of it with an arrogant face, and when the two met suddenly, they were stunned for a moment.
Min Changzai didn't want to go to bed, so she said to the eunuch beside her: "It seems there is some misunderstanding. Since Wang Changzai is here, I will go back." She took Xiaoyu's arm and got back on the sedan.
, Wang Changzai stood behind him and said, "Sister Min is leaving now. Why don't we go in together and ask the emperor what's going on? Otherwise, others don't know and think I bullied Sister Min and stole your favor."
Min Chang looked back at her and said indifferently: "No matter who you serve, it's the same. What matters is that the emperor is happy."
While they were talking, General Manager Liang came out after getting the news. He coughed and said to Wang Changzai, "Did Wang Changzai make a mistake? Long live the Lord did not summon you tonight."
One word aroused Wang's anger, and she yelled at Eunuch Liang: "What's going on? I've said this twice and three times. Is it because the emperor made a mistake, or are you slaves teasing me?"
