"Silly boy, what's going on?" Lan Qi held her daughter-in-law in her arms. It was common for her to be intimate with Yuxi, but her daughter-in-law's words and deeds were always measured and she rarely got so emotional. She and Yinzhen would occasionally do so.
Even if he came to complain like a baby, he wouldn't act like this. He hugged the child and felt her trembling slightly. The mother-in-law was really worried and kept asking, "Who bullied you? Tell me."
Huan Chun quickly sent the others out and waited in front of the door to let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk to each other. Yu Xi gradually calmed down and sat upright next to Lan Qi. He lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "Mother, I'm scared."
She didn't cry loudly, but she couldn't stop her tears. She kept saying that she was afraid of new people coming in, and that she was afraid that Yinzhen would change in the future.
She was worried that those concubines would fight with her in the future. She didn't want to live a life like Wen Fujin's. And the third brother's house had been peaceful since Xi Fujin came in. She didn't want to live a life like San Fujin's. But in the future, she would
How, she couldn't imagine it at all. She always thought she could face it, but at this moment, she actually couldn't bear it.
Lan Qi listened patiently, and after she finished speaking in one breath, she smiled softly and said: "Your mother-in-law is at home and takes care of the house. Those skills must be in you unknowingly. Mother-in-law is not
Worry that you will not be able to do well in the future, but now you will be afraid and no longer normal
Live. We will only know how the future will be in the future. It is meaningless to talk big words now. I am afraid that you will be bullied, so I quietly went to see the young lady from the Li family before. After seeing her, I realized that after one or two glances,
I can see some clues, but I am just trying to comfort myself."
Yuxi looked at her mother-in-law timidly and muttered: "Eniang, is she pretty?"
Lan Qi narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Most of the girls from the Han family are beautiful, and some of them are a little bit more outstanding..." Seeing the tension on Yu Xi's face, Lan Qi laughed loudly, hugged her daughter-in-law, and asked her in a low voice,
"Look at the empresses in the palace, which one is the most beautiful?"
Yuxi was startled. She wanted to tell the truth but didn't dare to tell her. Instead, Lan Qi guided her: "Noble Juechan and Wang Changzai are both prettier than E Niang, right? Your Queen E Niang is also a stunning beauty, right? On the contrary, E Niang is
Mom, she’s just ordinary and beautiful.”
"Eniang is beautiful." Yu Xi whispered.
Lan Qi nodded generously: "I am confident that in the eyes of your emperor, I am very beautiful, but this beauty is not just about appearance. Yuxi, in the future, you will be tolerant and generous to Yinzhen.
Being gentle and considerate will make you more and more beautiful in his eyes. Even if time leaves traces on your face one day, it will not destroy your appearance in his heart."
Yu Xi pursed her lips, still uneasy, "But..."
After a gentle explanation, Lan Qi suddenly turned serious and told her seriously: "But all of this requires Yinzhen to be a good man with love and righteousness. If one day he is ruthless and unkind to you, then all this will no longer exist.
The important thing is that without you in his heart, nothing you do can get into his eyes, let alone his heart. At that time, you can only learn to give up and live in the position you deserve."
"Eniang?" Yuxi was frightened.
Lan Qi said calmly: "It is with this intention that E Niang stays with the emperor. If one day your emperor Ama no longer has E Niang's place in her heart, E Niang will guard the Yonghe Palace well for herself and her children.
Save your dignity, otherwise if you fight for it, you will only be bruised and embarrassed."
Yuxi burst into tears, looked at her mother-in-law aggrievedly, and asked in fear: "Would Yinzhen do that to me?"
Lan Qi smiled and said: "There will be a day when E Niang will protect your dignity, but it is your own responsibility not to let that day come. Yu Xi, you must know that he has you in his heart, and no matter how many concubines he has, there is nothing to fear.
, if he does not have you in his heart, even if you are the only one around him, life will not be easy. What you should do now is to cherish everything in front of you. The mother said so many cruel words, not to scare you, but to make you cherish the present more.
happiness."
Yuxi nodded confusedly, still feeling uneasy and frightened in his heart, but it was better to speak out than to keep it in his heart. He felt much looser than when he entered the door. After calming down, he talked about Wen Fujin's experience. Lan Qi's eyebrows furrowed as he listened and warned his daughter-in-law.
: "Don't say these words to others again, just pretend you haven't heard them before."
"Why is the Queen Mother so cold to Wen Fujin? Is it because she said bad things about Wen Fujin in front of the Queen Mother? Why does the Queen Mother only believe it?" Yu Xi was puzzled. In her opinion, it was obviously Wen Fujin.
Fujin is even more pitiful, and her cousin is too much of a bully.
Lan Qi smiled and said: "You just listened to what Wen Fujin said. Sometimes what you see in your eyes may not be true. What's more, this is someone else's housework and has nothing to do with us. We may not be able to have the happiness of others.
We will definitely not suffer the tragedies of others and live our own lives."
After talking a lot about similar things, Lan Qi patiently explained to her daughter-in-law. She waited until evening when she heard that the prince had rushed back from Nanyuan. After comforting the Queen Mother, she had already taken Wen Fujin back to Yuqing Palace. Then she followed the prince.
The fourth elder brother who returned also came to pick up his wife back to his residence. He saw his wife's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried on his face. Lan Qi laughed at her: "Are you thinking that E Niang has bullied her?"
Yinzhen often felt that E Niang was more coquettish than his wife, and he was used to dealing with these jokes. Moreover, he had disrespected E Niang a few times because of an extra problem in his concubine. He felt guilty all the time, and he was even more happy to make his mother happy. Mother and son
The two talked for half an hour before leaving.
Lan Qi stood in front of Nuange's door and watched Huanchun send them all out. When he came back, Huanchun saw that she was in a daze, so he helped her go to the door, only to hear the master murmur to himself: "Everything is up to other people."
Clearly, if it falls on you, you will be left with nothing but confusion. What’s more, Yuxi is new to human affairs, and I have been with the emperor for so many years, and there are still many things that I still can’t let go of."
After that day, the Queen Mother and the Emperor still gave Wen Fujin some gifts to appease her pain of losing her daughter. The prince was even more considerate to her, and everyone in the palace knew that the prince liked Wen Fujin more, and there were rumors that he was plotting against Fujin.
Poisoning Wen Fujin and his children made the two in the Yuqing Palace even more powerful than before. And as Wen Fujin said to Yuxi, she has nothing, but she has the heart of a prince. No matter how many things Fujin bothers with,
He is destined to not be able to win against her.
In late February, Li Xiangfujin and Song Gege entered the fourth elder brother's house. The Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately informed the fourth elder brother that the house was completed and could move in. After Lan Qi and Xuan Ye discussed it, they calculated the furnishings and other things that needed to be prepared in the house.
The date is set for them to move out on the second day of April.
In the blink of an eye, in March, Chen Changzai and Wang entered the palace, and Concubine Rong arranged for them to live together in the place where Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to live.
After the two newlyweds entered the palace that day, they first went to Ningshou Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and then according to the rules, they had to go to Xianfu Palace. However, the imperial concubine never saw anyone, so Concubine Rong took care of it early, so that Chen Changzai and the Wang family could finally
First go to Yikun Palace to pay homage to Concubine Yi.
Lan Qi was waiting in Jingyang Palace to meet the newlyweds with Concubine Rong, but Ji Xin suddenly said: "Empress Xi and Wang Chang met the newlyweds in Concubine Yifei's house. I don't know where.
The words were offensive, and Wang Changzai actually asked his cousin to kneel outside the gate of Yikun Palace to apologize to Concubine Yi. Now I heard that Chen Changzai went to Changchun Palace alone, and then came to East Sixth Palace."
"She is just an official woman. In the future, the palace maids and eunuchs with greater reputations will bully her." Concubine Rong sighed, "If the Wang family is not favored in the future, life in this palace will be difficult."
Lan Qi remained silent while Concubine Rong babbled: "Wang Changzai is too self-righteous, so he just sets rules for his cousin. Isn't she afraid that the emperor likes the new and dislikes the old, and will fall in love with the little Wang family in the future? If my cousin overwhelms her one day,
Will she end up like Xi concubine in the future?"
Lan Qi heard these words sporadically, and dealt with them casually without taking them seriously. When Chen Chang came from the East Sixth Palace, he saw a young woman walking in from the door, although she was already a concubine.
Dressed up in a girly style, Lan Qi heard Concubine Rong sigh. She must know that her Princess Rong Xian is several years older than these young ones. And Lan Qi's own daughter-in-law is also older than Chen Chang.
Longer.
When Chen Changzai first entered the palace, although someone had been sent to teach her the rules, as she walked from place to place, not only did she not become familiar with it, but she became even more frightened and timid. The encounter in Yikun Palace must have frightened her and made her tense.
Her expression ruined her beauty, and she didn't look very attractive.
Concubine Rong whispered in Lan Qi's ear: "The two newcomers in Brother Si's house are much prettier than her. It's a pity that we didn't get to meet the other one. They all say that one is prettier than Wang Chang Zai."
Lan Qi smiled and said nothing. After Chen Changzai made a big salute, Concubine Rong asked her some polite words. Chen replied politely, but her voice sounded trembling, but although there was timidity and fear on her face, it was not visible in her expression.
Humble and cowardly, his eyes are clear and bright, and a bit of strength flashes through his trembling gaze from time to time.
Maybe she had some impressions of the Chen family during her southern tour in the past. The emperor also praised Chen Changzai's father. Lan Qi had a good impression of Chen Changzai. At this moment, in order to make Chen Changzai relax, she laughed with Concubine Rong.
: "If I remember correctly, Sister Rong and I have met Chen Changzai's mother-in-law, and we have talked."
Concubine Rong tilted her head and thought for a long time, her memory had long been blurred, and she had met many wives of officials during her southern tour, so she had little impression of Chen Changzai's mother, but Lan Qi said to herself: "Chen Changzai
She is very much like her mother-in-law, both Jiangnan beauties."
Mentioning his mother, Chen Changzai dared to look directly at the legendary Concubine Virtue for the first time. Seeing the kind smile on her face, he couldn't help but laugh and said happily: "What the empress said is that since she was a child,
Everyone in the family says that my concubine looks exactly like my mother. If my mother knew that my empress remembered her, she would be extremely happy."
