Lan Qi smiled proudly and said with a raised face: "My concubine, you have been standing in the wind for half an hour, and you don't feel bad at all?"
Xuan Ye thought she was hypocritical: "How could you be so vicious? If you really want to find fault with you, you must have never said that she was not allowed to dress warmly. Since she refuses to dress warmly, why blame others?"
Lan Qi pressed the emperor against the warm edge of the Kang, squatted down and replaced his snow boots with light soft boots, muttering: "But she has an heir in her belly. If anything goes wrong, the emperor will
Don’t you hold me accountable for my crimes?”
Xuan Ye said: "I promised you that if she goes out of line, I will let you deal with it. She doesn't love herself as a mother, so she uses the child in her belly to threaten her. It's really pitiful to be her child. What's more, she was the one who committed the crime first.
You deserve it."
Lan Qi got up and went to wash her hands. When she came back, she had a cup of hot milk tea in her hand.
She has nothing to complain about. But the emperor’s treatment of her has buried a lot of resentment in her heart. Are you really not afraid of pushing her to the edge?"
Xuan Ye put down the milk tea in his hand, and Lan Qi wiped his mouth with a hot handkerchief. In fact, it was Lan Qi who took care of such things in Yonghe Palace, and he looked like he was used to being useful and lazy.
He lazily asked her to sit next to him, and then answered her words: "She gets everything that most people in this palace don't get. She has seen me more than you in the past few years. She is in the Forbidden City."
Her duty is to play the role of a beloved concubine. As long as she looks favored, does she still want my sincerity? With her past behavior and her current appearance, what qualifications do she have to win some sincerity from others? Don't say it.
Even Concubine Rong, who has been in the palace for more than 20 years and has worked hard and achieved great results, does not dare to say that she wants to change my sincerity. As for pushing her to the limit, now that her "good name" has spread, how will I truly look like one?
If you don't want her, there will always be someone who can replace her, and you won't be afraid of Jiangnan being disappointed."
Lan Qi felt certain after hearing this, and smiled An Ran: "That's good, I thought to myself, if the emperor blames me for such a person, then he will never enter the Yonghe Palace in the future."
Xuan Ye stared at her, bit his ear and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you at night if you say such big words?"
Lan Qi pushed away the hot body of the big man, stood up seriously and said: "Eunuch Liang has complained to me. He slept for an hour or two for several days in a row. I wish you could find some beauties to fall in love with."
As for Feng, at least you can sleep more. Let's go to bed early tonight. We'll talk about when we can rest."
Xuan Ye's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at the person in front of him with an ambiguous expression. The two of them kept silent and looked at each other, but they were also full of affection. Lan Qi was feeling a little distressed and wanted to come up and ask him for a hug. Outside
A soft "Eniang" was heard, and Xiao Chen'er appeared in front of her, plump and wrapped in a bright red cloak.
"Why are you back? Aren't you at the imperial grandmother's place?" As soon as Lan Qi saw the child, she came up to her and untied her cloak. The little girl hugged her and acted coquettishly. Lan Qi knelt down and touched her body and found nothing unusual.
Chen Que nestled on E Niang's shoulder and whispered, "I miss E Niang."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "I just went to Ningshou Palace to see you today. What's wrong? Are you being bullied by your elder sister and younger brothers?"
"Huang Ama." Wen Chen suddenly saw his father sitting beside him, his face lit up with joy. He immediately left his mother behind and ran towards his father who opened his arms. Xuan Ye took his daughter into his arms.
The little girl said obediently, "Huang Ama, do you miss Xiao Chen'er?"
She stood aside and laughed: "You are already a big girl, but you are still acting like a spoiled child. None of the younger sisters are as clingy as her."
Xuan Ye didn't hear it at all. He just kissed his daughter and whispered to her. If the emperor dotes on anyone, Lan Qi's two daughters are the ones he dotes on the most in the world. This is the best thing to do.
Ma often talks about reaching for the stars and the moon. Fortunately, her youngest daughter has a good temper and does not have an arrogant and domineering temper. She is just clingy, soft and sweet and very lovable.
Seeing that their father and daughter were leaning away from each other, Lan Qi felt relieved and went out to prepare dinner. Soon, he urged the two ancestors to come over for dinner. It is said that the emperor specially rushed his sons to Ningshou Palace, but his daughter came and stood between them.
In the middle, this Ama is very partial. Seeing the troubled boys and seeing the peace in her daughter's heart, she can make Xiao Chen'er smile, which is as sweet as eating honey. Lan Qi just watches all night
The father and daughter were so cute, the daughter kept laughing, and the whole Yonghe Palace was filled with warmth.
Just because Wen Chen lives with her sister at the imperial grandmother's house these days, even though they see each other from time to time during the day, the little one is still "homesick". When her brothers went over to have fun tonight, she became homesick and ran away.
When he came back, he was reminded of Xuan Ye's fatherly love. From the meal to the last time he put her to sleep, all he could see was his daughter.
While washing up at night, Xuan Ye said: "In the future, our daughters will all stay in the capital. I don't want them to marry far away."
Lan Qi said seriously: "I am really afraid that the other sisters will be unbalanced by then. Wen Xian can still rely on the Queen Mother. What will Xiao Chen'er do?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Then the sisters don't want to be separated. The elder sister begged the Queen Mother for mercy and kept the younger sister."
Lan Qi thought about it and said happily: "It's not bad."
Xuan Ye came up and kissed her on the face, smiling and saying, "Is that how you should repay me?"
Lan Qi pushed him onto the couch and said seriously: "If you don't have a good sleep, don't think about anything."
The night is getting darker, and the lights in the palaces and courtyards in the imperial city are getting dim. Outside the palace, in the fourth elder brother's house, the servants are crowding around Fujin as he returns from Xiyuan. The fourth elder brother went to inspect Jidian on behalf of the emperor and will not return until tomorrow. Today, Fujin is in the palace.
After walking around for a while, I went to see Song Gege in person when I came back, and then went to Xiyuan to talk to Xiu Fujin for a long time. The two sisters had dinner together and then parted ways.
When Yuxi returned to her room, she took off her clothes and prepared to wash up. It was bustling outside, and she heard a series of "Brother Si is back." She felt excited, turned around and walked to the door. Sure enough, she saw that Yinzhen was back.
Her husband's face was red, he must have been caught in the wind while riding on horseback. She quickly pulled Yinzhen to the charcoal stove to warm up the fire. She repeatedly ordered her servants to bring a hot handkerchief to the stove. She took off his clothes with her own hands, and the outer clothes were blown by the wind.
The snow was blowing coldly, and the people inside were sweating while riding horses. If they didn't change out quickly, they would get sick in the winter.
One served and the other was served, and the couple tacitly agreed not to say a word. Only when Yinzhen sat down on the couch did Yuxi suddenly remember to ask him: "Are you hungry?"
However, Yinzhen stared at Yuxi, for some reason he touched her shoulder and then her arm. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "They said you entered the palace today and knelt in front of E Niang for a long time. Did E Niang punish you? You
Have you been punished?"
Yu Xi's eyes were sparkling and his nose was sour. He smiled and asked, "You rushed back just for this. What about the errands assigned by the emperor? Didn't you come back?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "I'm worried about you, because I'm afraid you'll get upset if you punish E Niang. I know E Niang's temper, and she will never punish her children easily, but if she is really angry and never shows mercy when she hits or scolds, I'm afraid
You can't bear it."
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Listen to E Niang. Only later did I really lose my face in front of E Niang. What mother-in-law can tolerate her son caring about her daughter-in-law so much? Besides, E Niang didn't even lift a finger on me."
"I don't care about my wife, why should I wait for others to care for me?" Yinzhen hugged her into his arms, but he heard Yuxi say, "Yinzhen, it's all my fault."
"Your fault?" Yinzhen was puzzled, but the person who was smiling sweetly in his arms suddenly cried.
Yuxi choked with sobs and told her husband everything. Although she was not the one who harmed others, she could have stopped such things. Now that the child is gone and the concubines at home are making trouble, the young woman
Unable to bear the condemnation of her conscience, no matter whether she will become strong and indifferent in the future, the guilt and panic now are really tormenting her. For her, there is no other way out except to confess.
Law.
Surprisingly, both Lan Qi and Yu Xi were overly worried. The fourth elder brother seemed to be too relieved about his family and hardly paid attention to his family affairs. He concentrated on running errands and studying, and did not think much about his family affairs at all, and it was impossible to suspect anything.
His wife was playing tricks. After this incident, he was very worried and wondered why the two people were fighting like this. Now that he heard Yu Xi talk about it, he realized that the fight between women that he had witnessed in the palace was also around him.
expanded.
"Yin Zhen, it was my fault. I was petty and I had no tolerance." Yu Xi looked at her husband pitifully with tears in her eyes, "I will take good care of this family from now on and never cause trouble to you again."
In fact, Yinzhen hadn't calmed down yet, and hadn't even figured out what was going on. But he couldn't help Yuxi crying, so he hugged her and said, "Didn't we agree that we will listen to you at home?"
The young woman didn't know which heartstrings were touched. Such thoughtfulness only made her feel even more guilty. That night, Yinzhen felt that it was right for him to come back. After coaxing Yuxi to show his face, he sighed with relief and said, "If I didn't
Come back, aren't you too pitiful?"
The next day, Yinzhen went into the palace to report back to the emperor. After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, he went to the inner palace to see his mother to say hello. He saw three or two imperial doctors coming from the West Sixth Palace. When they saw the fourth elder brother, they came up to say hello. After saying goodbye, Xiao Hezi
After following his master and telling him what happened to Concubine De and Wang Changzai yesterday, Yinzhen sighed: "It's the same inside and outside the palace."
But the few imperial doctors just now did not come to Qixiang Palace to check Wang Changzai's pulse. The fifteenth elder brother felt uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning. Xi concubine was so nervous that she called the imperial doctors early in the morning. After waiting for a long time and seeing nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.
.At this moment, I am sitting by the bedside of my 15th elder brother, looking at the sleeping child. Over the past year, I have been facing the child day and night. The former flamboyant concubine has become a gentle mother. The smile on her face when she looks at the child is peaceful and gentle.
.
The personal maid came in from the door and whispered from the side: "Wang Chang is up. It seems that he wants to come over to see the fifteenth brother."
