Lan Qi had already noticed that the emperor's attitude towards Yuqing Palace was completely opposite to that in his early years. She didn't know how others viewed this matter. If it was like what Bu Guiren said, it was Wen Fujin who was destined to be favored but had no children. She was still able to
Less trouble. If more and more people find out that the emperor's attitude has changed, I don't know how many people will be implicated in right and wrong.
She couldn't tell anyone these things, let alone ask Xuan Ye. She could only hide them silently in her heart and look at everything with a cold eye.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor asked the Queen Mother to host a banquet in Ningshou Palace on August 15th to entertain relatives. The Queen Mother asked Lan Ying to bring the child into the palace for her to see. Lan Qi had sent someone to Aling'a's house a few days earlier to ask.
How are my sister and the child? If my sister finds it inconvenient, she will naturally have a way to return to the Queen Mother. After all, the prince Fu Jin was also in confinement that day, and the little emperor and the grandson could not see it, so Lan Ying and the child did not need to join in the fun.
Lan Ying understood her sister's intention and reported back that she felt unwell. Lan Qi was able to ask for leave in advance to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother believed her and told Lan Ying to take a good rest.
Although the dinner was held in Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't bother with such matters. Every time, using the Queen Mother's name, Concubine Rong and Lan Qi were busy making final arrangements with Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace that day.
When Xiao Chen'er came back with the list of people attending the banquet, the mother and daughter were talking and laughing. The daughter suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Mom, that's Brother Ten."
Lan Qi looked in the direction her daughter pointed, but there was more than just the eleventh elder brother. He was also accompanied by the beautiful Jue Chan. The tenth elder brother was the same age as Wen Xian, but he was very weak-tempered and not as mentally mature as his little sister.
At this moment, he is holding the hand of Lord Jue Chan, but even Wen Xian is not willing to hold hands with E Niang in front of others.
"Brother Shi, are you here to play with me?" Xiao Chen'er ran forward, gently took Brother Shi's hand, and said, "Empress Rong gave me such beautiful candy, Brother Shi, do you want to try it?"
?”
"Chen'er." Lan Qi called her daughter and asked her to come back to her. Then she asked the noble Jue Chan and the tenth brother, "Why are you not in the study at this time?"
Jue Chan said, "My concubine's maid found the tenth prince wandering outside the Yanxi Palace. When I went out to ask, the tenth prince said he wanted to visit the imperial concubine in the Xianfu Palace, and he sneaked out from the study.
.The imperial concubine is recuperating in Xianfu Palace, and I cannot go there without authorization. If you want to agree to the tenth prince, you can only come to ask for help from the empress."
The tenth prince ran forward, raised his head and looked at Lan Qi pitifully: "Empress De Fei, I want to see my empress, Concubine De, she is very ill, isn't she?"
Lan Qi asked gently: "Why don't you tell the emperor's grandmother? If you tell the emperor's grandmother, someone will take you there."
The tenth prince shook his head repeatedly: "The imperial grandmother said no, she said she couldn't disturb E Niang's recovery."
Lan Qi knew the Queen Mother's temperament. Although she was kind and gentle, she also had clear likes and dislikes. If she really angered the Queen Mother, nothing could be changed. In those days, it was just a word from the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother could not give in to Yi for more than ten years.
The concubine and the fifth elder brother were close to each other as mother and son. Since the tenth elder brother was sent to Ningshou Palace, the queen mother never let him go back.
Lan Qi also said cruelly: "Since the Imperial Grandmother doesn't allow it, and Empress Dowager De is unable to help you, why don't you go back to the study first and let Concubine De go discuss it with the Queen Mother? Brother Ten, why are you sneaking out of the study like this?"
Running out is already a mistake."
The tenth prince pursed his lips. After all, he was weak-tempered. Concubine De was not his biological mother, so he did not dare to talk back and argue. Seeing that he was about to burst into tears, he turned around and ran back to the noble Lord Jue Chan, hiding behind her.
Mrs. Juechan came forward, with a sincere face, and begged Lan Qi: "Mother, please promise me."
Lan Qi shook her head: "Since the Queen Mother does not allow it, I cannot go against the Queen Mother's wishes."
"Empress..."
"But if other people violate it, I can deal with it leniently. The Queen Mother will also have her own excuse. After all, you have taken care of the tenth brother." Lan Qi said this to Jue Chan in a soft voice, smiling slightly.
Then he took his daughter to the gate of Yonghe Palace.
Noble Jue Chan pondered over the last words of his empress, and waited until the mother and daughter entered the Yonghe Palace, then turned around and took the tenth brother and said: "Yinqi, you go back to the study first. I will wait for you on the road after school in the evening. Let's
Go to Xianfu Palace quietly, it will be dark by then, so no one will notice."
The tenth elder brother nodded repeatedly, and Lord Jue Chan ordered the people around him to send the elder brother back first. As soon as the child returned to the study, he didn't care that his attendants were punished for this, so he excitedly went to the eighth elder brother and said: "Jue Chan
Master Zen promised to take me there tonight, Bage, it’s better for you, my mother-in-law, even Concubine De did not agree.”
But Yinsu immediately told him to keep his voice down, and said softly: "Don't mention it outside that she is my mother-in-law. Concubine Hui will be unhappy. Do you understand?"
Brother Ten nodded: "I understand, I can't mention my mother-in-law even in Ningshou Palace."
Yinsu sighed in his heart and said to his younger brother gently: "Adults always have their own reasons for doing things. We will understand when we grow up."
When the two brothers were talking, they suddenly heard a familiar cry. They followed the sound and found that it was Brother Eleven who was crying. Brother Ninth stood beside him with an angry look on his face, scolding him angrily: "Why are you still crying?"
If you can't recite it, I'll scold you again, and I'll have to give you a beating?"
Yinqing said softly next to Bage: "Mother Yi Fei always blames Ninth Brother and Eleven for not being promising. They don't get praise from Huang Ama for their bad homework. Bage, it would be great to be like you. Huang Ama always praises you."
I reward you for being so honorable to Concubine Hui. I don’t care, the Imperial Grandmother doesn’t care about my homework at all. She dotes on me in everything except not asking me to visit my mother-in-law.”
Yinsu nodded and pulled his younger brother to retreat without saying a word. When he was free later, he asked Eleven what was going on and patiently taught him some lessons. When school was over that day, Brother Jiu ran to his elder brother and said, "Thank you, Eighth Brother.
I can't teach you how to teach Eleven. I made a rare progress today. I can explain it to my mother when I go back."
Yinhu smiled and said: "Be patient with Eleven. If you really don't understand, just come to Changchun Palace to find me. Don't rush with homework, just teach him slowly."
Brother Jiu smiled bitterly: "My mother always blames me for not teaching my younger brother, but I'm not very good myself, so how can I take care of him. Brother Bage, if you don't think it's troublesome for us, please help me more in the future. Now Huang Ama hardly ever goes to Yi
Now that I am in the Kun Palace, E Niang’s temper is getting worse and worse. She feels that we don’t save her face. I really want to be praised by Emperor Ama during the next exam and make E Niang happy.”
Yinhu smiled and said: "Learn down-to-earth first, then take your time." As he spoke, he saw the tenth prince running away in a hurry. Sure enough, he was thinking about going to Xianfu Palace to visit the imperial concubine with his mother-in-law. They usually always
You need to pester him for a while.
The ninth elder brother was muttering to himself, saying that his mother-in-law and concubine Hui were not on good terms, so their brothers did not dare to go to Changchun Palace often, but the eighth elder brother was the best at homework among the brothers who were still in the study.
Yes, they have always wanted to study with myna. They kept talking for a long time, and my brother listened patiently.
When Yinsu returned to Changchun Palace and paid her respects to Concubine Hui, she stayed with her to eat and asked some questions about things in the study. She acted like a loving mother. However, before mother and son finished eating, Yuan promised to get the news.
He came to report that noble Jue Chan secretly took the 10th Prince to Xianfu Palace, and now he has been taken to Ningshou Palace for questioning.
Concubine Hui was angry that Yuan promised not to blink, so she said these words in front of the eighth prince, and dismissed her. Looking at Yinsi again, she saw that he was eating the food in the bowl quietly without any distractions. She didn't know whether he heard it or not, but shouted
She was elusive. After thinking for a long time, she waited until the child had finished eating, then said with a smile: "After you finish eating, E Niang will go to Ningshou Palace to see what is going on there. If the emperor's grandmother accuses noble Jue Chan
, E Niang will intercede for her."
The eighth prince put down his chopsticks, looked at Concubine Hui and said, "It's better not to go, mother-in-law. What if the emperor's grandmother even does it to you?"
Concubine Hui smiled and said: "But Lord Jue Chan is your biological mother after all. I can't take it seriously. I have to think about you."
Yinsu didn't insist anymore. He thanked his mother and concubine, and after finishing the meal, he sent her to the door before returning to his room. Baoyun had already inquired about everything for him. At this moment, he heard that Concubine Hui was going to the house for the noble man Jue Chan.
The Queen Mother came forward to plead for mercy and whispered to her master: "Why did the Queen suddenly care about the noble Lord Jue Chan? Brother Ba must be more careful when talking to the noble man in the future. If the Queen catches him, something might happen."
"
Yinsu frowned and looked at Baoyun, and asked coldly: "Will she kill my mother-in-law?"
Bao Yun was startled, waved his hands and said, "This is not what I mean."
However, Yinsu thought deeply for a while and said firmly: "The most cruel thing is to kill my mother-in-law. Doesn't it mean that she killed sister Kejing's biological mother Guo Guiren? No matter what, I will definitely not
I won't let her hurt my mother-in-law."
Bao Yun was worried. She didn't know how indifferent Jue Chan was to the eighth elder brother in the past, but now the eighth elder brother said that Jue Chan's attitude had changed a lot. Bao Yun had not seen it in person, and she had seen it deeply.
People in the cold and warm palace can't help but worry about the eighth prince, but the child is very happy. Every time he tells her about his biological mother, his face is full of joy. After serving the little master for so many years, this is the first time to see him so happy, so
I also thought, what can Mr. Jue Chan do to the Eighth Prince? Since the child likes it, there is no harm in making him happy.
Naturally, no matter how small the matter is, Bao Yun will report everything about Eighth Prince and Concubine Hui to Grandma Sumala. Grandma’s knowledge is equivalent to Concubine De’s knowledge. Lan Qiming realizes that Zen is ruthless.
The more I see that the Eighth Prince is deeply attached to his mother, the less he agrees with her actions. Although they don’t fall out, their hearts have become more and more distant from each other. Naturally, there is another big reason. Now that she is dealing with the Sixth Palace, Lan Qi
There is no need for anything like Jue Chan anymore.
Lan Qi understood this inner selfishness very well. Fortunately, they had a tacit understanding early in the morning and it was easy to get together and part ways.
