"Eniang knows that you understand in your heart, and you have always been relieved. Sometimes there are things that are not because I don't care about you or don't help you, but because they are all your own business. I should have let go in the past. Now that you are on your own, you should not have any control.
I'll intervene." Lan Qi looked at her daughter-in-law with a face filled with relief and said softly, "Yuxi, I feel relieved that E Niang will leave Yinzhen to you."
Yu Xi smiled calmly and said delicately: "My mother is here, and I feel relieved. My mother's family says that I was born rich and destined. Being a rich lady is secondary, and being an elder brother is also secondary. The most important thing is
I am blessed to have such a good mother-in-law like you, which I will never be able to achieve in a few lifetimes."
Lan Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "I have only been out of the palace for a few days, and I have learned to be so sweet-tongued." After saying that, she got close to Yuxi and said softly, "It's better to be so sweet when talking to Yinzhen. How come they are so sweet-tongued?"
When you are a mistress, you are not a housekeeper. It is inevitable to be dignified and stable in front of others, but when you turn your back on others and serve your husband, what kind of sweet words cannot be said? A man will not like a woman to teach him a lesson with a fierce face. The same words are said to someone else.
They are very useful in saying that. Men, no matter how old they are, they are like children. On the outside, Yinzhen is serious and rigid, but in his heart, he is a boy spoiled by your empress. He has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child.
Raised, what kind of person do you think he would like?"
Yuxi nodded: "I understand what E Niang said. It is true that a gentle and considerate wife is lovable, but I don't want to rush to learn from them just because they are sweet-talking, coaxing or other skills to please Yinzhen.
Let them go. Yinzhen and I have been in love for more than ten years. We have watched each other grow up since childhood. He likes Ulanala Yuxi. I suddenly changed my appearance, and he was surprised. Don't worry, E Niang, in my heart
Be measured."
Lan Qi was overjoyed: "Having a smart and sensible daughter-in-law is really better than my son."
The daughter-in-law raised her eyes and saw that there was no one else in the room. After a moment of hesitation, she said to Lan Qi: "Mom, I have something to tell you alone, not even Yinzhen. I just want to see how you behave."
My opinion, if you don’t support it, I won’t force it.”
Her daughter-in-law rarely asked her for anything, so Lan Qi naturally took it seriously and said with a serious look on her face: "Please tell me and listen."
Shortly after Si Fujin left the palace that day, Concubine De of Yonghe Palace invited imperial doctors. Several of them had taken care of Ying Fujin in Aling'a's house in the past, and they were very loyal to Concubine De. People in the palace asked about De
The concubine suddenly invited several imperial doctors to Yonghe Palace. They were all curious about what was wrong with Concubine De. However, no decoction was sent to Yonghe Palace afterwards, which made the emperor a little worried. He sent Eunuch Liang to ask but to no avail.
In the end, Xuan Ye went there himself at night. He was afraid that Lan Qi was not feeling well, so he kept it secret.
After asking, I found out that Lan Qi just summoned the imperial doctors who had nursed Lan Ying back to health in the past and asked them to nurse Si Fujin back to health in the future. Her daughter-in-law said that she was still young and could bear it even if she worked hard for ten years. After all, she hoped to be able to
I have a child of my own, but I can't keep asking for it endlessly for the rest of my life. I made a promise with Lan Qi that if I have nothing to do within ten years, I won't force it in this life.
At that time, Xuan Ye heard it and just said to himself: "What's the big deal if you are a direct descendant?"
Lan Qi did not think deeply about the emperor's words. She only thought that Xuan Ye was not a legitimate son, so he felt that there was no difference between a legitimate son and a concubine. However, he did not think about a woman's desire to be a mother, and even blamed the emperor: "Men just talk lightly, don't know."
Why would a woman go through all the trouble of giving birth to her own child instead of going to hell after being pregnant for ten months?"
The emperor looked at her with a smile, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. For a long time, he looked at Lan Qi ambiguously and said, "Ten years ago, we also saw Tian'er doing the business of giving birth to children, right?"
They would only say such inappropriate things in private, but Lan Qi was not willing to be teased and was about to lose her temper. She said warmly: "I care about our children, but I care about your body even more."
Lan Qi could only sigh: "The emperor only taught his son to study and do errands, why didn't he teach him how to coax people? If that silly boy Yinzhen can learn a little bit from you, I won't worry anymore."
Xuan Ye hugged her and said, "You can't say anything to the person you like. He is just pretending to be stupid in front of you. Do you really believe it? So you women don't necessarily understand what we men think."
After that, Lan Qi took some time to recall the sweetness of that night. Thinking of the emperor's words, she thought that indeed, men and women don't understand each other. Most of them only stand on their own side and think about themselves when things happen. How could they really think more about each other?
When I think about it, the world will be at peace.
In May, under the auspices of the Queen Mother, the fifth elder brother married Talash as his direct descendant Fujin. Since the queen mother had urged the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a house for the fifth elder brother in the early years, the fifth elder brother and Fujin moved out of the Forbidden City directly after the marriage.
On the day when the fifth elder brother got married, Concubine Yi was sitting in Yikun Palace waiting for her son to bow down. Lan Qi didn’t go to Ningshou Palace and didn’t know the scene there. Concubine Rong who went to watch the ceremony later told her that Concubine Yi had never been there.
She started crying before her son entered the house. When the fifth elder brother came to bow down, she was crying so much that she could not speak.
Hearing this, Lan Qi felt very unbearable. Like Yi Fei, she did not raise her eldest son by her side, but Yinzhen cared about her mother in her heart, but the fifth elder brother was a stranger to her mother.
Regardless of the past grudges and gains and losses, Lan Qi really felt that Concubine Yi was pitiful, so she could only say to Concubine Rong: "In the future, when the ninth elder brother's wedding is held, we will let her make the arrangements by herself, which is to fulfill her wish."
And this year, from the beginning of the year to early summer, newlyweds came in, the fourth elder brother left the palace, and the fifth elder brother got married. Every day was so busy that Lan Qi and Rong Fei hardly had time to get ready. Instead, the fifth elder brother's wedding was over.
Suddenly free, Lan Qi was so free that she didn't know what to do. There were young concubines coming and going in the Qianqing Palace, and it was not her turn to intervene. The Queen Mother's place was different from the previous years, and she did not need to be there all the time.
In front of her, things in the Sixth Palace had already been handled easily without spending too much effort. Moreover, most of the concubines were old and were not as noisy as they were in the early years. The Forbidden City seemed to have suddenly changed, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that she was idle and bored, Xuan Ye said that he would arrange to take her to Yingtai to stay for a while, just in time to escape the summer heat. As a result, several important court affairs were pressed down, and the emperor could not spare any leisure time. Fortunately, Lan Qi gradually adapted to it, and soon she
Accustomed to a relatively leisurely life, Xuan Ye started practicing calligraphy that she had almost neglected due to being too busy earlier. Xuan Ye asked her to copy a few scriptures so that he could use them later to reward others.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer in June, and the sun was still shining brightly in the morning. After lunch, Lan Qi read a few books to pass the time. The weather was unbearably hot, and she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up to the sound of rain,
There were dark clouds and lightning and thunder outside, and the heat in the house had dissipated quite a bit.
When she woke up and was thirsty, she wanted to call Huanchun to bring some mung bean soup. She called twice, but the little palace maid who was waiting at the door ran in and said tremblingly that Aunt Huanchun was not here. Lan Qi asked Luzhu and Ziyu, but they also said she was not there. She couldn't help but feel strange. Seeing fear on the little palace maid's face, she didn't want to embarrass her and asked nicely: "Where have they gone?"
The little palace maid was afraid and said: "I won't let my slaves wake up my Majesty, My Majesty..."
Lan Qi's expression became serious: "Speak carefully and I won't let them blame you. If you don't tell me, I won't have the temper to wait for you."
The little palace maid hurriedly said: "The princesses sneaked out and were captured by the guards. Aunt Huanchun went to pick them up. Aunt Ziyu and the others went to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, for fear that you would be angry. "
"Captured by the guards?" Lan Qi frowned and asked the palace maid repeatedly, "What do you mean by sneaking out? Where are they going? Which princess, Wen Xian?"
When Huanchun and the wet nurses brought back the two frightened little ancestors from the heavy rain, they were frightened when they saw the empress standing under the eaves. The two princesses lowered their heads and did not dare to look at their mother. At this moment, they were They were all wearing palace maids' clothes, and Princess Wen Chen was so thin. It was a blessing that they could find something that fit her.
The heavy rain was pouring, and the oil-paper umbrellas in Huanchun and her hands could no longer hold up, but the master stood in front of the door and could not move, so they had no choice but to freeze in the courtyard and did not dare to move. Lvzhu and the others quickly left Ningshou Palace. After returning from Qianqing Palace, Luzhu brought back what the Queen Mother had said, and asked Concubine De to discipline the princess in public. Then she timidly went to her master and whispered: "The Queen Mother said that if you are angry, you should be punished, but Princess We are young, please don't be too harsh."
At this time, Xiao Chen'er suddenly ran over from the rain curtain, hugged E Niang's legs and cried: "E Niang, I was wrong, E Niang, don't be angry..."
The little daughter was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble. Lan Qi couldn't help but feel distressed. Then she looked up at Wen Xian, who was standing next to Huan Chun. The older girl had a look of arrogance and dissatisfaction on her face, as if her sister's act of begging for mercy had betrayed her. She turned away angrily. Lan Qi was annoyed for a moment and scolded Wen Xian: "Is it your idea to run out with your sister?"
Wen Xian was afraid that his mother would be angry. This question made her tremble in fright. Huan Chun gently supported the princess. Wen Chen looked at her and saw his mother holding her sister but being angry at him. He suddenly felt aggrieved and cried: "I'm going to find the royal grandmother."
But Lan Qi ordered Huan Chun: "Take her in and don't allow her to leave the gate of Yonghe Palace again."
The mother was so angry that Xiao Chen'er was frightened and hugged Lan Qi even tighter. She begged E Niang pitifully not to be angry, but her sister didn't know how to give in. The more E Niang got angry, the more she pinched her, and she actually threw away Huan Chun's hand. The hand ran away.
"Stop." Lan Qi was furious and couldn't help but rush into the rain to catch her daughter. Who knew that when she stepped on the blue brick steps, the rain slipped, and she lost her center of gravity and fell heavily.
Wen Chen just ran to the door and was about to step out of the threshold, when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty has fallen..."
