Hearing these words, Lan Qi stood up, bent down and took Xuan Ye's boots to put them on for him. The emperor sat up unhurriedly, letting her serve him, and then asked Eunuch Liang: "Okay, why did you fall?" ?”
Eunuch Liang said that the people in Changchun Palace did not explain the reason. They only said that because the injury was serious, Concubine Hui had no choice but to come to report to the emperor, for fear of what might happen. In front of him, Lan Qi put on the cloak and hood for him again. When he stood on tiptoes to tie the belt, he asked softly: "The emperor is not angry with me. Do you not blame me for that?"
Xuan Ye smiled slightly after seeing the gloomy face, and pretended to be impatient and said to her: "If you are really guilty and want to atone for your sins, don't leave tonight. Wait for me to come back in Qianqing Palace."
Lan Qi smiled brightly: "I don't plan to leave. When the emperor comes back to prepare a meal, I don't expect anything serious to happen to the eighth prince. It's better if there is no danger. You really stay with me all night, and the eighth prince is in danger." Well, the emperor will come back soon."
Xuan Ye chuckled: "I know you mean well when you say this. Others see you staying in Qianqing Palace waiting for me, so they are going to criticize you."
"I never care what other people say." While joking, I arranged the emperor's clothes. The sedan chair was prepared outside, and everyone gathered around the emperor to leave. Lan Qi continued to retreat to the pavilion to wait. She didn't want to see him for a long time. After leaving Xuan Ye, I was also curious as to how Brother Eight could be injured so badly in the fall. It would be terrible for such a smart and sensible child to have his head broken.
The royal chariot hurried from Qianqing Palace to Changchun Palace. Two or three imperial doctors had gathered inside the gate. The expressions on their faces did not seem anxious. When they saw the emperor, they hurried forward to salute. One of them reported the eighth prince's injury. It's said that Eighth Prince fell on his forehead, but it's better to say that it was a bruise on his forehead. The injury was quite serious. The blood on his head looked very scary, but it didn't hurt him at all. To be conservative, don't do it for the next two days. Just move your body, and as long as you don't feel any discomfort, there's nothing to worry about.
"Did you find out clearly?"
The imperial doctors repeatedly said yes. Concubine Hui came out of the eighth prince's house to greet him. Xuan Ye went to the eighth prince's house while talking to her. The child's head was wrapped with thick gauze. , Concubine Hui said that when he was sent back, his head and face were covered with blood, and she was so panicked that she invited the emperor to come.
"It's right for you to be scared. If something happens, I won't blame you for making a fuss." Xuan Ye said and asked, "How did he fall?"
Concubine Hui bowed her head and responded: "What I heard from the little eunuch beside him was that Yinhu took the tenth prince to go to Xianfu Palace to climb over the wall, and the tenth prince wanted to see the imperial concubine."
As she spoke, she sat beside Eighth Prince's bed and called softly: "Yinsu, are you still awake? Huang Ama is here."
The child slowly opened his eyes and wanted to raise his upper body. Concubine Hui held him down and said, "Don't move around. Don't move for a few days. The imperial doctor said that you need to observe and observe."
Yinsu turned his face slightly and saw his father standing in front of the bed with his hands behind his hands with a serious look on his face. He nodded as a salute and said timidly: "Huang Ama, I am not careful. Please don't worry, Huang Ama." .”
Xuan Ye said: "You can rest in peace and recover from your injuries. Don't think too much about other things for the time being. When you are healed, come to Qing Palace yourself and tell me what happened."
"Huang Ama..." The eighth prince had something to say. Concubine Hui seemed to be afraid that the emperor would be unhappy, so she smiled and coaxed him, "You can rest, Huang Ama is not in a hurry to ask you something right now."
Xuan Ye frowned slightly, and sure enough, he heard the eighth elder brother say: "Huang Ama, tenth brother wants to see the imperial concubine, Huang Ama, can you let him go and see her?"
Concubine Hui was very nervous and repeatedly advised Yinsi: "You have a good rest and don't worry about other things. Emperor Ama will solve these problems. Close your eyes and have a good sleep."
Yinsu looked at Concubine Hui helplessly, and finally pursed her lips and closed her eyes silently.
Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the emperor secretly. Seeing that he was not angry, she tucked the child into a quilt and stood aside with her head bowed, waiting for the emperor's instructions. Xuan Ye thought for a long time and just said: "Take good care of him.
There is no need to go to the study these days. I will not let other brothers come to disturb his recovery. The sooner he recovers, the sooner he can return to the study."
Concubine Hui agreed and saw the emperor turning around to leave. She followed him two steps and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."
Xuan Ye was a little surprised and stopped, but Concubine Hui seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to talk in the eighth prince's room, so she asked the emperor to lend her a step to speak. When she got outside the door, she sincerely begged: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for my daughter-in-law to have another baby.
My elder brother cannot live without a son, so I have the courage to ask the emperor to recommend a Fujin to the eldest brother's house, so that he can spread the branches and leaves for Yin Ti. The child has become more cheerful recently, and he is not big on the concubines in the mansion.
He was thoughtful and said that he hoped that the eldest son would have a better family background and did not want those concubines to give birth to his eldest son."
Concubine Hui rarely has the opportunity to see the emperor now. When she does, she doesn't care whether she will anger the Holy Emperor. Her son's heirs are much more important than her relationship with the emperor. Besides, she and the emperor have long since broken off, and the emperor wants her to take a breather.
, she returned the emperor’s dignity.
"I understand." Surprisingly, the emperor did not refuse, but agreed, "We will first select the characters during the twelfth lunar month. Once chosen, we will let the newcomers in in the spring."
Concubine Hui was overjoyed and couldn't help but knelt down to thank her, but the emperor said condescendingly: "Xi Fujin has entered the door. The most important thing is to open up branches for Yin Ti. You should stop interfering in their affairs between husband and wife. Da Fujin has no long-term interests."
Sister-in-law’s style, isn’t it your fault?”
"Yes, it's my concubine who is ignorant." Although Concubine Hui hated her, she knew that she had gone too far, which made her daughter-in-law and her at odds with each other. She even did not hesitate to create an unpleasant reputation in the royal family. She devoted herself to controlling her husband's affairs.
Heart, the relationship between the young couple is actually invulnerable. She has been struggling silently for so many years, but her son is getting farther and farther away from him.
After the emperor said this expressionlessly, he came and went as he pleased, with no intention of staying. As the emperor left, the news of the eighth prince's injury also spread in the palace. Everyone knew that the injury was not serious.
So no one cared about it. At most, each palace showed some concern and sent people to say hello.
In the Yanxi Palace, Princess Dunke also asked the imperial doctor because of a fever. It is inevitable for children to get sick as they grow older. Min Changzai was very calm. When sending the imperial doctor away, he said: "The princess will be fine in two days. Please invite the imperial doctor."
Don't alarm the Emperor and the Queen Mother, it's no big deal."
At this time, when she saw Xianghe coming in from the door, Chao Minchang turned around and went to the east side hall. She turned around and wanted to go back to her daughter. Xiaoyu stepped forward to support her and said softly: "Xianghe seems to be..."
I went to inquire about Eighth Prince, Lord Juechan still cares about Eighth Prince."
"Don't talk about other people's rights and wrongs. We live under the same roof and it's best to live in peace and harmony." Min Chang was instructing Xiao Yu not to talk too much, then turned around and looked at the scene in the east side hall, remembering Empress De Fei's previous reminder to her,
In the future, I must be careful with Noble Jue Chan. These days, she has room for words and deeds, and she does not want to make any mistakes and harm Empress Dowager De.
In the east side hall, noble Jue Chan was sewing a snow hat. Xianghe quietly came in and roasted himself in front of the charcoal fire to get rid of the cold. Then he approached his master and said, "I have inquired clearly. Eighth Prince's injury is not serious. Don't worry."
"
Juechan nodded, and Xianghe added: "It is said that the eighth prince climbed over the wall in Xianfu Palace and fell from the wall in order to take the tenth prince to see the imperial concubine. The tenth prince did not climb up, so it is okay.
, has been taken back by the Queen Mother."
"I understand." Noble Master Jue Chan remained expressionless and continued to sew the snow hat in his hand.
Xianghe looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but said: "You have made so many things for the eighth prince. Did Empress De Fei ask the fourth prince to pass them on to the eighth prince? I have never seen the eighth prince wearing it."
Only then did Jue Chan speak: "The eighth elder brother has kept all those things with the fourth elder brother. He doesn't want Concubine Hui to know that I am close to him. Isn't this a good thing? It doesn't matter whether he wears it or not, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not.
It doesn't matter, as long as I, the mother, have my way." She glanced at Xianghe casually, "Don't you always hope that our mother and son can have more contact?"
Xianghe nodded, and Juechan smiled coldly: "I'm waiting for my eighth brother to grow up."
"Then I'll be relieved." After saying that, he remembered something again and reported back to the noble lady, "Empress De Fei went to Qianqing Palace, and I'm afraid she won't leave tonight. Empress De Concubine is really powerful. Several young people in the palace were stunned.
Not as favored as the empress."
Jue Chan said calmly: "Without Concubine De, those people would also have the same fate. They can't blame her for being favored."
Let us also say that when the Holy Emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, the scattered snowflakes had gathered together like cotton wool. The emperor was chilled just a few steps after entering. Lan Qi pulled him to change clothes by the stove and put on the clothes he wanted to wear in the house.
She had already warmed herself up, put on her body warm and dry, and handed over a cup of refreshing snow pear tea. Lan Qi casually asked a few questions about the eighth elder brother, and then stopped asking for the reason. She ordered Eunuch Liang to prepare the meal.
But Xuan Ye had no appetite and lazily said he didn't want to eat.
It was a cold day, and if he didn't eat, his body would not be able to keep out the cold. Lan Qi personally picked out a few things in the dining room that suited his taste, brought them in and put them on the kang table, coaxing him to eat half a bowl of rice before he felt at ease. Xuan Ye said with a smile
: "I just saw you wandering around. You are not in the Qianqing Palace. I can do anything with just a word. You should be quiet and quiet. But you are here. You are so meticulous about drinking tea and eating. I am tired."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "They are your slaves. The master can disobey what he says, but the concubine is different. Since you want them to stay by your side, you must be obedient."
Xuan Ye smiled with his eyes narrowed, and when Lan Qi came back from washing her hands, he sat cuddled with her, and then mentioned the affairs in the Changchun Palace. When it came to Concubine Hui choosing a Fujin for her eldest brother, Xuan Ye said
: "It's better to choose the three families together."
Lan Qi was quiet for a moment, then said coldly: "Where is Yinzhen, has the Emperor thought about it?"
