Huan Chun said: "Your Majesty meant well, but she was afraid that this Chen Changzai was not an ordinary person. Zhongcui Palace was originally quiet and peaceful, but if something happened because of her, Empress Duan and the nobles would be disturbed.
comfortable."
Lan Qi thought about it and said clearly: "Now that there are more women from the Han family in the palace and among the clan, there is no need to be as scrupulous as before. Wang Changzai forced the emperor to pamper her like this, but the emperor may not
I will pamper the second one. There is nothing wrong with concubines competing for favors, but they are not allowed to cause harm to others or cause chaos in the palace, so let's see."
While they were talking, the wet nurse of the fourth elder brother came over from his place. Now she went with the fourth elder brother to help take care of the affairs of the young couple. The wet nurse has always been a very considerate person and got along well with Si Fujin. Lan Qi trusted her.
After giving permission for the fourth elder brother to leave the palace, the wet nurse went to the house as an errand together.
At this moment, the wet nurse came to pay her respects to the Concubine De. Naturally, the greeting was secondary. The more important thing was to report what was going on with the Fourth Brother. Besides, Li Fujin and Song Gege have not been allowed in since they came to pay homage to the Concubine De on the first day.
When they came to the inner palace, Lan Qi restrained them in their residence. Only Yuxi could still come and go freely.
When her daughter-in-law comes to greet her every day, if Lan Qi doesn't ask about the side room, Yu Xi won't mention it. But Lan Qi can't really not ask about it. The wet nurse is her spy. At this moment, she only hears the wet nurse say: "Song
Song Ge is lively and smart, and has a very sweet mouth. The fourth elder brother has been staying in Song Ge's house these days. Li Zong and Fujin are a quiet person. They only speak a few words to Fujin every day and usually don't talk much. The three of them get along quite well.
harmony."
Lan Qi knew that after the newlyweds came in, it took two days for Yinzhen to consummate their marriage. Although he seemed to like the Song family more, he still consummated the relationship with Li Zefu Jin first. Unexpectedly, the Song family got a few more points.
Yinzhen's liking. But Mrs. Li was not the same as when she went to see her secretly. Later, after some advice from her wet nurse, she realized that Mrs. Li might have known that she was going to enter the fourth brother's house, but suddenly a Mrs. Song appeared.
Even though the status and status are not as good as hers, they are still strange. Maybe she hasn't figured out how to deal with herself.
At this moment, the wet nurse said again: "Fu Jin and Si Age have had a little argument these past two days over bringing things out of the palace. What Fujin meant was that some old things should be given up, rewarded or thrown away, and all new ones should be bought in the house to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The palace had to be cleaned up and spread out, and both sides would have to work hard at that time. But the fourth elder brother was not happy, saying that it was too wasteful, and the things in the house were all good, so he decided to take them out. They bickered for a while, which alarmed Xi Fujin.
With Song Gege, Song Gege persuaded Fourth Brother to leave, and later it was Fu Jin who accompanied Fu Jin to talk, so the servants didn’t know what they were talking about."
Huan Chun laughed at the side and said: "I saw Song Gege that day. She was chattering and her eyes and nose were smiling. She was very lively."
Lan Qi sighed after hearing this: "Yinzhen is an ignorant child. He quarreled with Yuxi, so how could he leave with the Song family? In the past two years, the young couple had quarreled, and Yuxi never complained every time, just because it was all about trivial matters.
They pretended to make me happy about this little thing. But it’s been two or three days since Yuxi came here every day without saying a word, so he must be resentful in his heart."
The wet nurse frowned and said: "There are more Fu Jin and Song Gege in the room. They are different after all. Just say Song Gege. He is pretty and has a sweet mouth. At first, the fourth elder brother didn't like to talk to them, but Song Gege rushed to please the fourth elder brother.
Brother, since she is a legitimate concubine, what can others say to please her husband, but we Fujin can’t do this, and it seems Li Fujin can’t do it either.”
Huan Chun asked the wet nurse: "You didn't say much, did you?"
The wet nurse hurriedly said: "The queen has ordered that the slave will only help with the daily living. I will not talk about the matters between my brother and Fujin. Fujin will occasionally say a few words to the slave, but the slave only listens and does not dare to say anything."
Lan Qi nodded and said: "You have always been steady and I can trust you. Just keep watching. Just come and talk to me occasionally. If you are too diligent, they should be disgusted."
The wet nurse said yes, and did not ask the empress how to deal with it. After finishing her own affairs, she left immediately. Huan Chun comforted the master: "Don't worry, empress. I will go back and ask Qinglian what happened. In order to avoid suspicion, she is now
She’s not even here yet, but she must understand these things.”
Lan Qi told her: "You also tell Qinglian not to interfere in the affairs between them, just let her watch. If you ask her to keep an eye on the Li family and the Song family, it's okay to compete for favor. If anyone dares to have evil intentions,
, I will never tolerate it.”
Huan Chun heard some meaning and asked: "So the empress is prepared to ignore this matter."
Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "This is just a trivial matter like whether to take something with you or not. I will take care of it anxiously. If there is any big event in the future, will I put all my thoughts into it? If Yuxi is really useless, I can't protect her.
lifetime."
"yes."
"Huan Chun." But Lan Qi suddenly lowered her face, looking unhappy, and said to her, "Go to Qianqing Palace and tell the emperor that I miss him."
Huan Chun stared blankly at her master, stood still, and asked awkwardly: "Your Majesty, do you really want me to be a slave?" She thought to herself that her master was getting angry for a while, and she could just calm down after a while, but she couldn't help.
She did something she regretted.
But Lan Qi got up and went to the inner hall, saying: "Tell the emperor that I miss him, so that he can come and see me when he has time."
Huan Chun caught up and persuaded: "Why don't you go to Qianqing Palace yourself? Since you want to be the emperor, it's your turn to go and see the emperor."
But Lan Qi left her and walked straight in. Only one sentence floated out: "I just want him to come and see me. Why do you think I just hang around these things every day?"
Huan Chun waited outside for half an hour, thinking that it would be good to survive the Queen's anger. Who knew that when Lan Qi asked for tea, she found that Huan Chun was still there, and angrily asked her why she didn't go. Only then did Huan Chun know that the Queen was serious.
, I had to bite the bullet and come to Qianqing Palace.
What made her dumbfounded was that she met Wang Changzai in the Qianqing Palace who had brought a tonic soup. He seemed to be trying to explain to the emperor about punishing the royal ladies to kneel down, but she didn't stay there for more than a few words and ran into Huan when she came out.
Chun asked curiously: "Why is Aunt Huanchun here alone?"
Huan Chun lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head without saying a word. Wang Changzai had no choice but to give up. However, after she left and waited for a long time not far from the Qianqing Palace, she saw the eunuch coming out to prepare the sedan chair. Not long after, the emperor hurriedly went out and boarded the carriage.
, Huan Chun naturally followed along with Eunuch Liang.
"Master, the emperor probably went to Yonghe Palace." Wang Changzai's maid said softly.
With a look of helplessness on her face, Mrs. Wang held her arm and walked back in despair, saying sarcastically: "Otherwise, where else can we go?"
The emperor went to Yonghe Palace that day and did not leave again. All the matters that needed to be dealt with were left in Yonghe Palace. Several ministers who wanted to see the emperor also went back home. The next day, the emperor ordered Chen Chang to move to Yonghe Palace.
When they went to live in Zhongcui Palace, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs moved all Chen's things to the backyard of Zhongcui Palace on the same day.
For several days after that, the emperor did not see any newcomers, or he was too busy to visit the harem. Otherwise, Wang Chang was still here. Yuan promised several people, and one of the two newcomers was suppressed by Wang Chang, and the other settled in Zhongcui Palace.
As time passed, the fact that there was a newcomer in the palace seemed to be forgotten.
Yangchun was lazy, and the days passed by day by day. The second day of April was the day when the fourth elder brother moved out of the Forbidden City. After kowtowing to the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace early in the morning, he came to Yonghe Palace to say goodbye to his mother. Yu Xi and Lan Qi
With deep feelings, I couldn't bear to be separated from my mother-in-law for a while, and cried until my eyes were red.
Lan Qi didn't have such strong emotions, but she coaxed Yu Xi, but she saw Yinzhen looking aside with a cold eye. Her wet nurse had told her that since that incident, the couple had been keeping quiet, neither quarreling nor getting close, so she saw her son today.
She is not surprised at all that her daughter-in-law is like this.
The mother still didn't know what to do. It was obvious that Yinzhen and Yuxi were not just upset about something as trivial as whether to bring something or not. If she blindly helped, it would only make things more difficult.
Under E Niang's comfort, Yu Xi gradually became calmer. Since it was not good to delay the auspicious moment, they bowed again and the couple returned to the elder brother's house. After saying goodbye to Aunt Sumala, they arrived in a soft sedan chair.
To take Si Fujin out of the palace, Li, Fujin and Song Gege had to walk outside the palace before they could sit in sedan chairs.
After Yinzhen left the Forbidden City gate with his family, he asked his servants to go back with them first. He was not in a hurry to go home first, but turned back to the palace. Today Huang Ama had an errand for him and his third brother.
Yuxi knew about his arrangement early in the morning, but he didn't expect that Li Fujin and Song Gege didn't know about it. Song Gege chirped and asked what was going on. Yuxi felt unhappy and rarely said seriously to her: "Leave the palace, look.
There will be more people following us, so you have to be careful in your words and deeds and don’t embarrass Brother Si."
Song Gege did not dare to disobey Fujin and immediately became silent.
After that, the three of them took sedans to go to the fourth elder brother's house. They and the servants all saw what the house looked like for the first time. The fourth elder brother had gone out of the palace several times to see it. No wonder he was not new and curious at all. In front of the house
There are already guests waiting. Prince Yu Fujin and Ying Fujin of Niu Hulu's family were entrusted by Empress Dowager De to buy a new home for them and congratulate them on their move. Ying Fujin, who is already six or seven months old and has a big belly, is very happy and swaying.
After entering the door, he said to Yu Xi: "The empress said that it was a good sign that a pregnant woman came on the first day of the new house. If you insist on me coming, don't think I'm lazy. I'll just sit and do nothing."
Yu Xi was in a good mood. She put her arm around Lan Ying and said, "If E Niang knew what my labor aunt was doing, she would be angry."
Prince Yu Fujin brought his shaman mother-in-law and Yu Xi to offer incense and wine everywhere in the house, hoping that the house would be peaceful and smooth in the future. After everything was in order, Li Fujin and Song Gege were allowed to enter the house and came to see the queen.
After they were taken to their residence by servants, Prince Yu Fujin said to Yu Xi: "I have told you to invite your mother to come in a few days. There are many things that need to be taken care of in the new house. Naturally, my mother is the most considerate.
"
Lan Ying wandered around looking at the furnishings in the house and said casually: "Why do I look at these things? They don't look like new ones? Did you bring them from the palace?"
Yu Xi smiled faintly: "Sir Brother said don't waste what can be used. I have asked people to move it out a few days ago and arrange it. Otherwise, when we move out together today, there won't even be a decent place to entertain people in the house."
