"Then we have to stay in Changchun Garden for a while. Otherwise, if this energy returns to the palace and sees those beautiful and young people wandering around you, I will get mad." Lan Qi's hand was on Xuan Ye's chest.
He wandered around restlessly in front of him, and unbuttoned his buttons while stroking. His words were full of ambiguity, and his delicate laughter stirred people's hearts. He stood up and bit his lips, "I'm the best."
,Yes or no?"
This bite, of course, is boundless, and only those who have gone through clouds and rains at this moment can appreciate the taste. The union of love and love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Lan Qi is greedy, and Xuan Ye is even more greedy. The day to return to the palace is delayed again and again.
In order to catch up with the Empress Dowager during the festival, the emperor decided not to return to the palace until the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
In the imperial city, the selection of Fujin for the seventh and eighth princes was proceeding according to the rules. News came from Changchun Garden that the emperor and Concubine De had only returned to the palace on the seventh day of Chu Qi. The Queen Mother relied on Lan Qi as a consultant, so
The selection day was also postponed to the seventh day of the lunar month. The Ministry of Internal Affairs submitted the roster early, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong reviewed it together. Because the birth mothers of the seventh and eighth princes were of low status, the empresses were interested in joining in the fun.
, and the Eighth Prince was the adopted son of Concubine Hui, so the Queen Mother allowed her to come with her, which was considered a great favor to the Changchun Palace.
But Concubine Hui knew herself. After all, this was not the eldest brother's wedding. She could just watch and listen. Everything was decided by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Moreover, the seventh prince was born with a disability and was not married to anyone.
The concubines raised him, but he was not as good as the eighth elder brother in all aspects. Every family and government preferred to betroth their daughters to the eighth elder brother as a blessing, so she could not be too active and seemed to deliberately exclude and bully the seventh elder brother.
In the Changchun Palace, the appointment of the Eighth Prince Fujin was finally on the agenda. The preliminary decision was made in the twelfth lunar month and the wedding would be completed in the first month. Bao Yun was smiling every day and asked many questions about who the Eighth Prince Fujin would be in the future.
I am very much looking forward to the decision made by the Queen Mother of Chu Qi. On the other hand, the eighth prince is calm and calm, going to and from the study every day and rarely asking about this matter.
On this day, Baoyun inquired that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had selected two old houses for renovation directly outside the palace and had started to repair them. The renovations would be completed in time for the elder brothers' wedding, so that the seventh and eighth elder brothers would not have to live in the palace after their marriage.
She will move out directly. She happily told the eighth prince the news, but Yinsu looked at her lightly and said, "If you don't follow me out of the palace, you won't even be able to see what my house looks like."
The smile on Bao Yun's face dissipated a little, but he still said the same thing: "I must stay in the palace."
"Why?" The eighth prince is already a tall and straight young man, and Bao Yun has long been outnumbered by him. He looked down at Bao Yun with his eyes furrowed, his brows furrowed but his eyes soft, and he sighed softly, "
Is it because you want to continue to monitor Concubine Hui here?"
Bao Yun panicked, her knees became weak and she knelt down. Being helped up by her eighth brother, she said timidly: "You know everything?"
Yinsu nodded: "We have been together for so many years, and I can't help but let you live up to your kindness to me."
Bao Yun had tears in her eyes. When the eighth prince let go of her hand, he took a few steps back and said, "That's why I can't leave the palace with you. Although I work in Changchun Palace, I used to be the Empress Dowager's wife."
I am the Queen Mother's servant now. Even if I serve you wholeheartedly, I will never be yours. Now I am monitoring Concubine Hui. Is it possible that in the future I will follow you to the mansion and monitor you instead?"
Yinsu's eyes flickered, he really didn't expect this, Bao Yun smiled with tears: "I don't want to betray you, no one knows what will happen in the future. I am in the palace, at least leave a copy of your thoughts about me.
, if we go to my brother’s house, maybe the friendship between our slaves will also be broken, and I will never be yours."
"But if you stay in Changchun Palace, you will definitely be tortured to death by her." There was hatred in Yinsu's eyes, and he clenched his fist in one hand, as if he hated himself for being incompetent, and could not even protect Baoyun, who was loyal to him.
Bao Yun smiled happily and contentedly: "My eighth brother thinks this way, this life of slave is worth it, don't worry about other things."
But how could Yinsu not worry? Bao Yun's words today really made him feel grudge. He would not want Bao Yun to become a spy on him in the future. After experiencing so many things in the study these years, just looking at his brothers
When he was working as an errand by his father's side, he was already well versed in the ways of a monarch, his ministers, and his son. He had already understood many things before he had experienced them. He also understood why Bao Yun was spying on him. Even if there would be few such people in the house in the future,
He didn't want it to be Bao Yun either.
"But I can't leave you in the palace. If she hurts you, she and I will be separated from each other." Yinsu still did not change his original intention, and said more clearly, "Baoyun, you know, I want to be filial to you all my life."
She is the one, but if she hurts you, I will definitely turn against her."
Bao Yun could only sigh: "Eighth Brother, forget it."
How could Yinsu just let it go? If he wanted to take charge of his own affairs in the future, Baoyun would be the first one. How could something that had been decided since he was young come to an end and be abandoned halfway? Baoyun
She is the best person to him in the world so far. Without Bao Yun's wholehearted care and mother-like existence, he doesn't know what he will look like. Compared with his adoptive mother and his biological mother, Yinsu knows very well.
Which one is more important between them?
In the end, Yinsu chose to discuss the matter with her biological mother. Although her biological mother had no right or qualification to directly affect the outcome of anything in the palace, she could walk in Yonghe Palace and try to influence Baoyun's stay through Empress Dowager De.
And his request to his mother was: "Baoyun has no one to rely on at home. It's easy to let her go. But I won't feel at ease whether her life will be good or not in the future. Since she doesn't want to stay in my house, let her go to the seventh elder brother's house."
In the mansion, I believe Seventh Brother will treat her well."
At that time, the nobleman Jue Chan promised his son very gently: "I will go to Concubine De for you." However, she turned her back on her son and when Xianghe told her that the eighth prince was a kind and righteous person, she felt indifferent in her heart.
She thought to herself that she seemed to understand why her son took the initiative to get close to her, and that was good.
In the blink of an eye, on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the eligible women who were to be selected were arranged to enter the palace early. The emperor and Concubine De had just returned to the Forbidden City before noon. As soon as they entered the palace, they went to Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother urged her to go back and have a rest.
In the afternoon, we decided to settle the matter of seventh elder brother and eighth elder brother Fujin together.
Lan Qi hurried back to Yonghe Palace. Duanbi, Bu Guiren and Dai Guiren had been waiting for a long time. The seventh elder brother was Dai Guiren's only child and her spiritual support for so many years. The child who was born with a disability staggered into adulthood.
, Dai Guiren waited for this day with hope for the stars and the moon, but the seventh prince and the eighth prince together chose Fujin to marry, which made her feel more worried.
Duanbi smiled at Lan Qi and said, "Sister Dai murmurs every day that she is afraid that others will look down on the seventh elder brother, and that the daughter-in-law she chooses will not be in the seventh elder brother's house in the future."
Lan Qi pulled Dai Guiren and said: "Speaking of it this time, I really chose Fujin for the eighth elder brother. As for our seventh elder brother, the emperor chose him early. He just thought about it before and didn't want to let outsiders do it now.
I have been very selective and informed the minister I like in advance to raise my daughter well so that she can be married to our seventh elder brother in the future. I took a look at her in the garden, and she looks good and has a very gentle temperament."
Dai Guiren didn't really believe it and kept asking: "The emperor has already thought about it?"
Lan Qi smiled: "The emperor is busy with everything, and it seems that he doesn't get close to the children, but they are all his flesh and blood. If he doesn't care about him, who else will care about him? You are so good, and the emperor loves the seventh elder brother even more. This matter
I've had an idea for a long time, but it's hard to tell. In a moment, you and sister Duanbi will follow me to Ningshou Palace, and I will point out to you which child it is. You can take a look at it before leaving, and just wait for the order in Zhongcui Palace."
Dai Guiren was so happy that he didn't know what to do. Although he had not had a favor for more than ten years, the life in Zhong Cuigong was comfortable and beautiful, so he didn't want to think about it anymore. But she was the emperor's woman after all, and Zhong Cuigong had "mistaken" her whole life at a glance.
After all these years, my heart still longs for the emperor's love, but because I know I can't get it, I keep this thought silently. Now when I hear Empress De Fei say that the emperor has always cared about their mother and son, my heart is full of comfort and joy, and I finally feel that I have not been in vain.
Her love for more than ten years.
The Empress Dowager chose Fujin in the afternoon. The girls were led by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Ningshou Palace. Lord Juechan and Xianghe were waiting beside the road they must pass. Naturally, they were standing in a secret place.
It will make people notice. She looked at the girls who passed by one by one. For women, youth is the best decoration. The girls were all as delicate as flowers. They were used to seeing the heavy makeup in the palace, which made her eyes tremble.
It was bright, but because of this I couldn’t remember any of the people or their appearance. They passed by in front of my eyes in a hurry, and most of them had no impression.
When all the girls had passed by, Xianghe said excitedly to his master: "Here is our Bafujin."
Jue Chan nodded in agreement and returned the same way with Xianghe. Trying to remember the faces of those children just now, a sudden flash of excitement flashed in his mind and he said to himself: "I think I have seen that child somewhere before."
Xianghe smiled and said, "Many young ladies come to the palace with their families. It's not unusual for you to see them in Ningshou Palace or elsewhere."
Master Juechan shook his head: "It doesn't seem like we met like that, but I can't remember it for a while."
In Ningshou Palace, Concubine Tong, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui had been waiting for a long time. Lan Qi arrived late and brought Duan Concubine and Dai Guiren together. She originally planned to let them take a look and leave, but the Queen Mother smiled: "That's right.
It is best to let Dai Guiren sit aside and let the children know how respected the mother-in-law is. Although the noble person's status is low, the emperor's concubines are still noble after all, and how can they be underestimated by outsiders."
Concubine Yi pushed Concubine Hui next to her and laughed softly: "The queen mother is comparing her sister to her? But don't be angry. At least she didn't find Jue Chan to be on an equal footing with you."
Concubine Hui gave her a cold look: "I'm not like you, I care about everything."
