Concubine Yi's crying can't bring any justice. No one can change what the emperor has decided easily. Lan Qi stood aside quietly watching Xuan Ye get rid of Concubine Yi's entanglement, watching Xuan Ye leave indifferently, but he
When walking past her, she had been with him for more than twenty years, and she was keenly aware of the sad aura around Xuan Ye. Yes, how could he not be sad? A good child suddenly disappeared, it was his flesh and blood.
"Your Majesty, please don't leave..." Concubine Yi cried and fell to the ground, looking totally different from the dumb look just now. Taohong also cried so much that she couldn't speak. She just hurriedly helped her master. Lan Qi motioned to her side.
The palace maid came to take Concubine Yi back to the bed. She didn't know what to say to Concubine Yi. She had lost her son, and any words of comfort now were empty talk. So she simply came out to take care of Brother Eleven's funeral and asked
Everyone from Yikun Palace has been here. The people below said that the emperor does not allow anyone to disturb the empress. After Brother Eleven was sent back last night, there was no one else but a few imperial doctors.
"The fifth elder brother hasn't entered the palace yet?" Lan Qi frowned slightly and asked, "Is the ninth elder brother in the study?"
Thinking that the only thing that could appease Concubine Yi at this moment was her flesh and blood, Lan Qi took the initiative and sent people to let the fifth elder brother and Wufujin enter the palace, and then went to the study to bring the ninth elder brother back. It can be seen that the ninth elder brother was a wooden sculpture.
It seems that the people from Yikun Palace told Lan Qi that after the imperial doctor announced that Brother Eleven was dead in the morning, Brother Nine stopped talking, left Concubine Yi alone, and went to the study on time as usual. Later, the emperor came and did not show up.
Mention this matter.
Because Wu Fujin had a gentle temperament and started crying as soon as she entered the house, Lan Qi felt that she could not coax Concubine Yi, so she sent her to Ningshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother. The people from the Internal Affairs Office here followed the rules and took care of the funeral arrangements for Brother Eleven.
, Lan Qi wanted to see if the children were buried neatly. When she passed under the window in front of the ninth elder brother's house, she heard the fifth elder brother saying: "Where did you and Eleven go last night?"
Lan Qi just listened inadvertently and didn't take it seriously. She came straight over to see the poor child. With tears in her eyes, she directed the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do everything. When she left to tell Yifei, she saw Jiu Age Feng.
General ran out, but the fifth elder brother was already sitting in Yi Fei's room. When Lan Qi came in, she saw mother and son talking. It seemed that the eldest son was so considerate to his mother for the first time in more than ten years, which allowed Yi Fei to relieve the depression in her heart for many years.
, the pain of losing his young son was slightly relieved.
Having her son by her side is better than anyone else, so Lan Qi told Taohong about the important matters and left first. She and Huanchun and others went to the door to wait for the eunuch to press the sedan, when she heard the people from Yikun Palace beside the door.
Said: "The ninth elder brother is looking for the eighth elder brother in front. You guys hurry up and watch. If the eighth elder brother doesn't come in, don't let the ninth elder brother run out."
Lan Qixun glanced at them and said nothing, but on the way back, she became curious for some reason. She especially wanted to know the cause of Brother Eleven's death. Since he was still alive when he was fished out of the Neijin River, then he was
How did it fall?
Outside the palace, due to the death of Brother Eleven, the emperor temporarily suspended court affairs. Yinzhen could only go back to his home to wait for news from the palace. After arriving home, he first visited his wife. Yuxi couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard that Brother Eleven was gone.
Sad and regretful, but we are not close to each other on weekdays, so we are considered distant, so it is not too sad. While the couple was talking, Yuxi asked for a drink of water, and Yinzhen turned around to get it for her, but it fell out of his sleeve and he just picked it up in the palace.
He noticed the tape and hurriedly picked it up. Yuxi saw it and said deliberately: "Which girl made this for us to call our Fourth Brother such a treasure?"
"Nonsense." Yinzhen scolded, and after letting Yuxi drink the water, he tried to hide the ribbon better. Yuxi was curious and couldn't help but mutter, "You didn't even ask me to take a look. You really met some nice guy outside.
?”
Yinzhen smiled bitterly, took the ribbon and said in front of her: "Look, this is a used thing, and it's still stained with dust. I picked it up on the palace floor, because..."
"Wen Fujin?" Yu Xi suddenly interrupted her husband, pouting and pointing at the tape in Yinzhen's hand, "Did Wen Fujin give it to you?"
"Do you recognize this thing?" Yinzhen was surprised and simply brought it closer to show it to his wife. Yuxi nodded and said, "Wen Fujin only made the knot on it. When we were still in the palace, Wen Fujin and I
Even though we are close, doesn't she often sit with me when we occasionally have banquets? She talked about these things when we were chatting, and even said that she would teach me how to weave them in the future. This kind of knot is very new and she came up with it herself."
Yinzhen looked at the thing in his hand and said: "It is true that this kind of knot is not common. When I picked it up just now, I felt that the workmanship was very fine."
Yuxi asked: "Where did it come from?"
But Yinzhen said, "I'll talk to you in the future. It's an awkward time right now." After a pause, he suddenly got excited, scratched Yuxi's nose, and said with a sullen face, "Do you think Wen Fujin and I are having an affair?"
Of course, Yu Xi was assured that her husband would not do such a thing, but she wanted to make a joke to lighten the atmosphere. After a few friendly words with him, she asked him to go to the study to read or rest quietly, so that he could wait for news from the palace at any time. Huang Ama
After all, they had just lost a son, so how could they laugh at home?
The day passed safely, and everything in the palace was carried out in an orderly manner according to the rules. Externally, it was said that the eleventh prince died of a sudden illness. Although the concubines of the sixth palace were curious, the emperor acted like the Yikun Palace was strictly guarded.
Expressing condolences was not allowed, and it was not until the next day that things eased slightly. The emperor continued to attend to state affairs early in the morning, and there were people coming and going among the concubines, so the emperor did not prohibit anything.
And Concubine Yi kept crying. She cried alone, and in the end she even lost the strength to cry. She had been proud in the palace for more than 20 years, but this was the first time that she was so pitiful. After all, she was a good child.
, but due to the strange and sudden death, everyone was curious about the cause of Brother Eleven's death, and at the same time brought up the past, the story of Brother Six was revealed, and those gossips also hurt Lan Qi's heart.
However, this gust of wind blew by, which made Long Yan displeased. On the grounds that Concubine Yi was weak, he did not allow concubines to move around Yikun Palace anymore. He also said that the Queen Mother was very sad to lose her grandson, and urged the people in the harem to be careful in their words and deeds.
Don't add any more trouble to the Queen Mother's heart. But this time, she was concerned about Concubine Yi and the Queen Mother. Although she didn't mention the death of the Sixth Prince or the Yonghe Palace, the women could also sense that the Emperor was partial to Concubine De.
In the next few days, Brother Eleven’s funeral was held according to the rules. Because he was a minor prince, the funeral would not be too extravagant, and there was no rule of a white-haired person giving a black-haired person. Everything was the same as that of every child who died young in the past.
Just like the prince and princess, even though the Eleventh Brother has existed longer than his deceased brothers and sisters, all traces of him were wiped out from the palace so suddenly and quickly. Lan Qi could understand the sadness in this.
, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong can understand it, but their children die earlier and it is not so painful.
At the end of September, the eldest brother Fu Jin went into labor. This time, he was finally blessed by God and gave birth to the little emperor's grandson. Although he was no longer ranked as the emperor's eldest grandson, the eldest brother's eldest son was a legitimate child, finally granting half of Hui Fei's wish.
The resentment towards her daughter-in-law has also been reduced a lot, and she fully hopes that the child will grow up healthily. However, Dafujin suffered a lot during the birth, but Concubine Hui didn't care at all.
The Queen Mother heard that Da Fu Jin was injured after giving birth, so she asked Lan Qi to arrange for the imperial doctor to go to the hospital for treatment and condolences. This was considered as a deliberate warning to Concubine Hui not to get carried away. After that, she finally saw that the Changchun Palace did some humane things and treated the hardworking Da Fu well.
Fujin.
On this day, the Japanese cloth noble came to Yonghe Palace to help Lan Qi take the measurements. I was busy a while ago and didn't have time to make new winter clothes. Although everything in the sewing room is prepared, the ladies' bodies change every year.
If the new clothes don't fit, the people in the sewing room will not be able to eat them and carry them away. But the Yonghe Palace is too busy, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not dare to intervene, so they have to beg Duan and Bu Guiren when they are being measured in Zhongcui Palace.
He brought them to prepare for Empress De Fei. Bu Guiren said it was no big deal, so he brought them himself.
When Bu Guiren took Lan Qi's measurements, he shook his head and said that she had lost weight and seemed to have lost weight due to fatigue. He said casually: "Chen Changzai at the back of our house is really getting more and more open. I saw her today and even her face is round."
, I originally had a melon-seed face with a pointed chin, but now I am as rich and good-looking as an oval. I look a little fatter, and I look much better than before when I was as thin as a bamboo pole."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "They are still young, but they are still growing. I met the secret before..." Halfway through the words, Lan Qi quickly stopped. The person she wanted to say in her heart was different from the one Sister Bu listened to. Regardless of whether it would cause arousal or not.
It was always best not to mention the misunderstanding, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "The emperor likes her very much. I heard Eunuch Liang say that she can accompany the emperor to approve memorials when she has nothing to do, and she can stand or sit quietly aside.
The company lasts all day, and Yuan promised those few, but they won’t be able to stay idle."
At this time, Pan Xia came back from Zhong Cui Palace. She originally went to get two pairs of cloth sleeves that the noble people made for Lan Qi but forgot to bring. They were for Brother Thirty-Four to wear when writing in winter. Pan Xia went back to get them.
, said smoothly: "Someone from the Qianqing Palace just came to pick up Chen Changzai. It seems that he will stay in the Qianqing Palace tonight."
No one thought it was strange, but Chen Changzai had already arrived at Qianqing Palace.
Because it was still early in the day and it was not time for dinner, she went into the study to meet the emperor. Xuan Ye gave her a letter from home and said: "Your mother sent it in a folder. I have read it and there is nothing important. You guys
My family is very cautious, and all correspondence comes from me. If you have anything you want to say after reading it, I will bring it to you when I give my approval."
Chen Changzai took the letter and stood at the table to read it. It was indeed just a letter of ordinary greetings, but letters from home are always very precious, so after reading them, he put them away carefully.
Xuan Ye asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
Chen Changzai shook his head and said with a faint smile: "It's nothing important. My father just wanted to greet me and told me to serve the emperor well."
Xuan Ye smiled: "You are always very good."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I should do." A gentle and sweet smile bloomed on her beautiful face, but her cheeks gradually turned red for some reason. She bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant."
