Lan Qi also saw Xuan Ye, and saw him standing there with a happy face. He hurriedly walked down the stairs. Just as he was about to go to him to salute, someone else came in from the door. The eunuch who came saw the emperor and Concubine De standing at the door, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Surprised, he calmed down and bent down to go to Eunuch Liang.
Lan Qi and Xuan Ye didn't care, and held hands with each other and went into the house. Xuan Ye asked her what she was so happy about. He heard that it was because of the affairs of Yinzhen's family, and even joked: "Can I do anything now to make her happy?"
Do you smile so beautifully?"
But before the joke could continue, Eunuch Liang came in, frowned slightly and said, "Long live my Lord, I have something to report." As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine De who was standing aside. Lan Qi understood, and stood up and said,
"I'm going to make tea for the emperor."
"Don't be in a hurry to drink tea." Xuan Ye took Lan Qi's hand, asked her to sit back beside him, and casually told Manager Liang, "Let's talk."
Eunuch Liang was obviously a little embarrassed, and asked the emperor with a probing look, but Xuan Ye said: "Is there anything else? I was planning to tell the empress, so just say it."
After hearing this, Lan Qi knew that the emperor was hiding something from her, so she didn't rush to ask, and just listened to Eunuch Liang's report. He said tremblingly: "The imperial doctor went to Xianfu Palace again. The imperial concubine is in very bad health. The imperial doctor
If this continues, my life span will only be one or two years at most."
Lan Qi was heartbroken and speechless for a moment. Xuan Ye waved his hand for Mr. Liang to go down. He looked back at her and said, "I noticed earlier that you no longer interfere with the affairs of Xianfu Palace, so I didn't let them bother you."
you."
Lan Qi lowered her eyes and said nothing. They didn't tell each other about the emperor drugging the imperial concubine to go crazy. Even at this moment, she still didn't want to say it.
Xuan Ye stared at her. He knew about that matter in his heart, but what would happen if he mentioned it now? What did he care about when the person in front of him cared about him and kept silent.
"After Lan Ying entered Niu Hulu's house, she always thought about her husband's family. Even though the imperial concubine hurt her so much, she still respected the imperial concubine. Even now, she always goes to Xianfu Palace to say hello before entering the palace.
I can see all this." Xuan Ye said with emotion, "The daughters from your Wuya family have noble character."
Lan Qi smiled faintly: "The emperor loves her so much that she dare not let you down."
Xuan Ye smiled and said, "I treat her as my own sister and love her." But then he sighed, "For this reason, I can't bully Niu Hulu's family too much, even for Lan Ying's sake."
Lan Qi bowed and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness on behalf of my sister."
Xuan Ye continued: "The imperial concubine has been ill all year round and has a lot of rumors outside. I will try my best to give her the dignity that I deserve in her last days. Ask Lan Ying what they want from their family. It is easier to go from your place. If I call you
Ah Ling, you will definitely attract the attention of others."
Lan Qi responded: "I have written it down. Lan Ying is coming to report the affairs in Yinzhen's mansion in a few days. Today I asked her and Prince Yu Fujin to help with the preparations."
Xuan Ye nodded, and the matter was settled, and then he decided to ask Lan Qi for tea, but when she went to serve the tea and came back, the emperor was so tired that he fell asleep. Lan Qi put down her things and went out to call him.
Eunuch Liang asked about the emperor's daily life, and found out that he had stayed up most of the night last night, and naturally he had not summoned the harem to serve in the Qianqing Palace.
Lan Qi asked Eunuch Liang: "The two newlyweds have not slept with each other yet, and the emperor has not summoned them? Didn't you mention it before the emperor?"
Manager Liang smiled bitterly: "As you know, Madam, the Emperor will not tolerate my servants talking about this matter. As for the two newcomers, the servant only knows that Wang Chang has gossiped about the royal ladies several times in front of the Emperor.
The family tradition in my uncle's family is not good, and naturally it is probably due to jealousy and ostracism, but the emperor has heard about it and the servants don't dare to ask more questions."
Lan Qi was silent on her face, but sighed in her heart, whether Xuan Ye really dotes on her like that, or Wang Changzai is self-righteous. The only thing she understands is that no matter how arrogant Wang Changzai is to others, no matter how he is in Qixiang Palace
He didn't take Xi's concubine seriously, but treated her, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi with great respect and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. Therefore, even though Concubine Yiyi hated her and gnashed her teeth with hatred, she could not find any reason to arrest Wang Chang.
What's going on?
Thinking about these things in his mind, he stared blankly at the sleeping Xuan Ye when he came back, his mind wandering to nowhere. After a while, the emperor woke up and lazily asked her what time it was, and then the two of them spoke.
But Xuan Ye had some tea and regained some energy before saying, "I remember you just said that you asked Prince Yu, Fujin and Lan Ying, to take care of the affairs in Yinzhen's mansion?"
Lan Qi nodded, and Xuan Ye said: "From now on, stay a little farther away from Fu Quan's family. You have been very close to him, Fu Jin, in the past two years."
"After that incident, Prince Yu Fujin Duoduo came around, and I thought we could talk, so that was it." Lan Qi did not ask Xuan Ye why, and agreed after explaining, "Since the emperor said so, I know what to do.
You can do it, but it won’t fade away immediately. People should be surprised. Your Majesty, please give me some time.”
Xuan Ye was relieved, nodded and said nothing, and didn't want to get up too lazily. He was dragged up by Lan Qi again and again, saying that there were ministers waiting to see him, and the emperor couldn't hide in Yonghe Palace. Xuan Ye was pushed to the door by her
After going out, he stood still and said, "Would you like to come to Qianqing Palace to have dinner with me at night?"
Lan Qi pushed him out, called Huan Chun loudly, and said to her: "Quickly ask your long live master, what do you want to eat at night?"
That night, when Empress De Fei brought meals to the Qianqing Palace to serve dinner, Yuan promised to come out of her original place and took the little Wang family, who was almost forgotten there, to the Changchun Palace.
When he came back from the study, he happened to bump into him. Since there were female relatives there, he sent Bao Yun to pay her respects. Soon Bao Yun came back with two bowls of food, saying that they were rewarded by Concubine Hui, and that several of her sisters were gathering tonight.
Come on, please don’t go over there, Eighth Prince.
Brother Eighth hurriedly washed his hands and started to study after dinner. He asked Baoyun casually: "The person who followed Yuan Yiyi is very young. I have never seen him before. Which girl is he from?"
Bao Yun said with a smile: "The eighth elder brother just studies and doesn't ask about anything in the palace. This one entered the palace together with Chen Changzai from Zhongcui Palace. She is an official woman."
The eighth elder brother said oh, and Bao Yun smiled again and said: "Of the women from the Han family who came to Beijing with her, two went to the fourth elder brother's house. You must have met those two."
"Li Zefujin and Song Gege." As expected, these two eighth princes knew each other, and I was thinking, Huang Ama's concubines are already the same age as his daughter-in-law, should they be younger than him in the future?
Bao Yun said happily: "Next month, the marriage of the fifth elder brother will be completed, and it will be waiting for you and the seventh elder brother. I am really curious about which young lady will be our eighth blessing."
Yinsu blamed her for refusing to leave the palace with him in the future, so whoever became her Fujin had nothing to do with her. The two were joking when a boy ran in from the door, followed by the eunuch who could not stop him, talking all the way.
: "Brother Ten, please wait..."
"You guys go down." Seeing his tenth brother standing in front of him with a sad face, Yinsu was very calm and ordered the eunuch to go down. He also asked Bao Yun to inform Concubine Hui, and then went to Ningshou Palace to see if anyone there was there.
Knowing that the tenth elder brother was the best, he pulled his younger brother to sit down and asked him, "Have you had dinner?"
But Brother Ten suddenly burst into tears, big tears hanging down. He wiped them away and choked with sobs: "Bago, I heard people in Ningshou Palace say that my mother-in-law is dying. Bago, I want to see her."
Yinsu was surprised and asked him: "Why is she dying? Is the imperial concubine sick?"
The fact that Concubine Wen was seriously ill was still a secret and could not be publicized. Lan Ying only mentioned it to her sister when she entered the palace three days later. However, since she became pregnant, her sister did not allow her to go to Xianfu Palace for fear that the concubine would go crazy and hurt her. Lan
Ying herself was also cautious, and at most she bowed in front of the door and left. Now that she heard that the imperial concubine was dying, she couldn't help but feel sad. She kept saying that although the imperial concubine was once hateful, she was still a member of the Niu Hulu family, and their family was not easy.
.
Lan Qi said: "The emperor said that summoning Aling Ayi would attract people's attention, but would cause trouble to Aling'a. So I want to ask you, go back and ask Aling'a, does the Niu Hulu family want anything?
, in the last days of the imperial concubine, she still needs to have some dignity."
Lan Ying smiled: "Your Majesty is so kind."
"Yes, the emperor said it was for your sake." Lan Qi said this, but her heart was beating, hoping that her sister would never know that Xuan Ye drugged the imperial concubine and made her crazy.
But just after saying these things, the pregnant woman suddenly felt uneasy fetal movements, which frightened Lan Qi to immediately summon the imperial doctor for her. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. When she was asking the imperial doctor some questions, another imperial doctor came from the imperial hospital. Huan Chun said with a smile: "Here
Nothing happens, sir, please come back."
However, the visitor knelt down and reported that he had just returned from the fourth elder brother's house outside the palace. Lan Qi felt nervous after hearing this. She thought that Yu Xi was not in good health, but she heard the imperial doctor say: "Song Gege in the fourth elder brother's house is very happy. She is slightly pregnant."
I have come especially to express my congratulations to the Concubine De."
Sure enough, not long after, Qinglian also hurriedly followed from outside the palace. She wanted to announce the good news to the empress, but the imperial doctor beat her to it. She said happily: "This imperial doctor actually stole the prize from this slave."
Lan Qi was extremely happy. Although for more than two years, people had said that Si Fujin was in poor health, it was inevitable that some people would gossip and deliberately spread ugly words, saying that Si Fujin was not good. She kept enduring that tone, thinking
It's a joke to be careless. After waiting day by day, I finally waited for the blessing of Guanyin, no matter whether Song Gege was of low status or not, at least something happened in the fourth elder brother's house, and those who are mean-spirited should shut up.
The next day, Si Age and Si Fujin entered the palace together. Yinzhen nodded in front of E Niang and hurried to the study. It was easier to talk to him after leaving his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Lan Qi comforted Yu Xi and said, "You have got what you wanted.
When Mrs. Song gives birth to her child, she will be raised in your house. You don't have to pity her, this is the rule."
Yuxi quietly agreed, and Lan Qi added: "There is no need to be too expensive during the pregnancy, otherwise it will be difficult to have a child. She is just a concubine. Don't treat her like a master just for the sake of a child. The more you
If she doesn't care, she will understand her own dignity and inferiority more clearly."
"Don't worry, Niang." Yu Xi's eyes were filled with natural nobility, "The only mistress in the fourth elder brother's house is my son."
