However, what happened on that day, and the fact that Concubine De was also in Grandma Sumala’s house at that time, would be known to others sooner or later. Their sisters-in-law said these words on the road. How could no palace maid and eunuch write them down so that they can be kept in the palace?
Rumor has it that the prince Fujin returned home on the ninth day after his wedding, so three to five days later, barely half a month after the wedding, there were faint rumors in the palace that the third and fourth Fujins were not on good terms.
The two princes Fujin are not in harmony, and the instigator must be the relationship between Jingyang Palace and Yonghe Palace. Regardless of how outsiders view this matter, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong will inevitably be embarrassed. If they do not explain each other, they may guess what the other party thinks.
Yes, but when we really make this matter clear, whoever speaks first and whose attitude determines the future development of the matter, it was just a few words from a young man, but it inexplicably turned into a big deal.
Naturally, the Ningshou Palace also heard about these things. Concubine Rong and Lan Qi had always been harmonious and friendly. They worked together to keep the palace in good order, so that the Queen Mother could sit back and relax. In order to have more long-term comfort, she had to come forward in these matters.
Then he took the initiative to call Lan Qi and Concubine Rong to him, and talked about these things half jokingly and half seriously.
Both of them have exquisite hearts, so of course they will deal with it decently and beautifully. Lan Qi doesn't want this matter to continue to be magnified, and would rather be more humble to Concubine Rong. But when they parted ways in front of the Queen Mother and wanted to go back, Concubine Rong...
Tete followed her back to the Yonghe Palace, and when the two sisters were alone behind closed doors, Concubine Rong's eyes turned red and she said, "Sister, I'm sorry for you, because I didn't discipline my daughter-in-law well."
Lan Qi felt certain in her heart and hurriedly tried to comfort her: "Why do you say such things again? How come you have never seen your sister happy after marrying your daughter-in-law? The emperor chose your daughter-in-law. If you behave like this, the emperor should blame himself."
From what Concubine Rong complained about, Lan Qi felt that it was not so much that the third daughter-in-law was too powerful and proud that Concubine Rong could not control, but rather that she had too much inferiority complex and did not dare to be aggressive to her daughter-in-law. How could any mother-in-law be like her?
With this look, although you shouldn't treat your daughters-in-law harshly, you should still have some dignity that makes them awe.
"Although the marriage was the one proposed by the emperor, I once hinted to the emperor, consciously or unconsciously, that I wanted to match my third elder brother with a noble daughter. At that time, I thought very simply. I hoped that my daughter-in-law's natal family would have a high family background and be a good partner for Yinzhi.
I will support you in your future." Concubine Rong was full of resentment, "It's all my fault. It would be great if there was a child from an innocent family."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "Sister, what you said is wrong. A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law. Is it possible that you dare to bully someone from a small family who comes from an innocent family?"
At this time, in the Yonghe Palace, the two people who seemed to be instigated were just talking and discussing how to deal with more problems in the future. However, the gossip in the palace was spreading more and more. Even in the study room, they had withdrawn from the Yuqing Palace and returned to the original place.
The fourth elder brother, who was studying in a local school, also heard these rumors. The younger brothers naturally did not dare to talk too much. Although he would not have to worry about boring talk, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed when he saw the third elder brother.
Fortunately, the third elder brother probably knew what kind of temperament he had in Fujin and did not attach too much importance to these remarks. However, the hot-blooded young man had other things he was curious about. When he was resting in the study that day, the third elder brother asked the fourth elder brother quietly.
: "Have you and Fujin not consummated your marriage yet?"
Yinzhen looked embarrassed and his throat was dry. He coughed lightly and asked, "Why is Third Brother asking such a thing?"
The third elder brother smiled heartlessly: "I heard what your third sister-in-law said." He lowered his voice, almost close to his younger brother's ear, "You don't know how to do it, do you want me to teach you?"
The fourth elder brother's face turned red, and his rapid heartbeat contained a bit of anger. Even a brother should not have to ask about this. The third brother was really naive and a little stupid, but as a younger brother, how could he blame his elder brother? He just said dullly: " Yuxi is just not feeling well."
That day when I returned from the study, my father summoned me. The brothers stayed in Qianqing Palace for a while before leaving. At that time, the prince and the eldest brother were also there. When the four of them left, the eldest brother asked the prince: "Is Xiang Fujin going to do it?" Giving birth?"
The prince responded: "Probably the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month."
The eldest brother added: "I remember that Fujin is scheduled to enter the palace on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, so the Yuqing Palace will be even more happy."
Yinzhen and the third elder brother stood aside and said nothing. The eldest elder brother suddenly pointed the finger at them, teasing the younger brothers with a bit of teasing: "Are you two little guys fully grown? You are newlyweds, and you have a long life. Need to be moisturized?”
These words were ambiguous and not serious. The third elder brother smiled knowingly, while Yinzhen kept a straight face. He thought what if even the eldest elder brother came to ask him why he didn't consummate the marriage with Fujin. Fortunately, the eldest elder brother laughed it off. , he wouldn’t be as brainless as Third Brother, who would disperse after a few words of laughter.
When he returned to his residence, his wife did not stand at the door waiting for her as usual. The familiar figure did not come into view. Yinzhen felt uneasy for no reason, so he asked where Fujin was. Xiaohezi had already inquired, and quickly The emperor reported to his master that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent things to two places upside down in the afternoon. San Fujin reprimanded the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked Si Fujin to say something, but Si Fujin refused. As a result, San Fujin blamed Si Fujin. Being a good guy makes it difficult for him to get off the stage. Although there were a few quarrels that were not very pleasant, Sifujin tolerated it and did not argue. However, it didn’t take long for Empress De Fei to send someone to call Sifujin in. He has not come back yet. .
Xiaohezi asked worriedly: "Sir Brother, will Empress De Fei punish Si Fujin for this?"
Yinzhen frowned, thinking of protecting his wife. Impulsively, he turned around and walked out. He wanted to go to Yonghe Palace to bring his wife back, but he calmed down as soon as he walked out of the door. He ran away like this without thinking. You have to break your mother's heart first, think about it carefully, and finally come back.
Sitting dully in the room, thinking about what the third elder brother asked me today, and thinking about the cynical attitude of the eldest elder brother, I felt vaguely that if he didn't consummate his marriage with Yuxi, there would be more and more such things, including myself. , Yuxi would be so sad if someone said that to her face.
At this time, in the Yonghe Palace, news came from the elder brother that the fourth elder brother had returned. My wife and I were all playing and laughing on the warm bed. Wen Chen was pestering his sister-in-law and refused to let her go, so she was delayed. At this moment, hearing Huan Chun's report, little Fujin's face turned slightly red and he lowered his head shyly. After all, he was newly married and was very thin-skinned.
Lan Qi ordered the people in the Yonghe Palace to send Sifujin back safely, and before leaving, she told her: "My mother-in-law doesn't allow you to bully others, but you don't necessarily have to let others bully you. As long as it is reasonable, even if you break your forehead, my mother-in-law will not do it." I will support you. As long as you are not causing trouble, don’t be afraid that my mother will blame you for being ignorant."
Yuxi was very happy and agreed obediently. Missing her husband at home, she hurriedly said goodbye to her mother-in-law.
Huan Chun and others sent Si Fujin to the door. When they came back, they smiled and said to Lan Qi: "Our Fujin is so cute. When he mentions Brother Si, his little face turns red and his eyes flicker. He is so beautiful.
It seems that our fourth brother is the only one in the world who is the treasure."
Lan Qi was also filled with joy and said with emotion: "The people of the Ulanala family have really taken the trouble to teach me. This child looks docile and well-behaved, but she understands very well in her heart. She knows what she should and shouldn't do, and she doesn't think she is noble.
Taking those people lightly, I guess in her eyes, Sanfujin and the others are like..."
Lan Qi didn't say the last words. No matter how unpopular she was, she was still the daughter-in-law of the emperor and Concubine Rong. How could she call her a clown? But today when Yu Xi was called in for questioning, her daughter-in-law's calm and calm attitude made her
She once again understood the meaning of "noble" that she had discussed with Xuan Ye.
The daughter-in-law is indeed a daughter-in-law who comes from a wealthy family. At the same age, Lan Qi knew that she was far inferior to her. As time passes over the next year, Yu Xi will definitely have a more stable and strong mind. Things between the young couple
, she really doesn’t have to worry about it, Lan Qi thinks this is a blessing from God, and is very grateful.
That night Xuan Ye sent an order to come to Yonghe Palace for dinner. Lan Qi was in a good mood and was willing to serve him. However, she also sent someone to ask if the emperor was staying at Yonghe Palace. It was best to leave after eating.
As a result, Eunuch Liang personally went to Yonghe Palace and brought the emperor's original words to Concubine De, saying: "How about you come to Qianqing Palace and I will let you stay?"
On the contrary, Lan Qi lost face in front of the servants and for a while the servants were not allowed to prepare meals. Huanchun and the others were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. When the emperor arrived, the stoves and water in Yonghe Palace were cold, and there was no hot meal.
But Xuan Ye had long expected Lan Qi's little thought. When he came all the way from Qianqing Palace, he also brought the imperial dishes here and spread them out in Yonghe Palace. He sat there in a good mood.
At the table, pointing to the hundreds of dishes, he said: "Give me some dishes. The sea cucumbers there were brought to the palace by Fu Quan today. Please tell me to try them quickly."
Lan Qi stood by the side and refused to move. Huan Chun was afraid that his master would be self-defeating, so he took the initiative to serve the emperor and let the eunuch who tested the poison taste it.
Her mistress sat down next to the emperor and started using it in a serious manner. Huan Chun didn't dare to look at it, but peeked from time to time, only to see the emperor putting the food in his bowl in front of her mistress, disgusted.
Said: "It's not delicious, you can eat it."
Huan Chun laughed in her heart. She had not seen much of Si Age and Si Fujin's life after marriage, but looking at the attitude between her master and the emperor, it had been the same for more than ten years. The emperor had three granddaughters, and the master was also the mother-in-law.
, but when the two of them get together, they are still as newlyweds, and time has not left any trace on their love.
After Huan Chun gave the matsutake and chicken shred soup to the poison-testing eunuch and it was tasted correctly, he brought it to the emperor. He heard the emperor whisper to his mother-in-law: "If you keep losing your temper, you will get wrinkles at the corners of your eyes."
