Xuan Ye said: "I don't know either. She must have her own plans, but I'm not curious. In this case, I can only keep her by my side anymore. It's not that I'm heartless, I'm just not passionate about her, which will prevent her from doing anything in the future."
If you have changed your mind and made any mistakes, it would be better to leave as soon as possible."
Lan Qi understood this, but did not interrupt. Xuan Ye continued: "In the blink of an eye, I am already at this age. I am no longer the frivolous young man before the imperial grandmother. In the future, when new people come in, they will be fifteen or sixteen years old, and they will not even be alive."
You see, if I can have a heart-to-heart talk with them, I'm afraid I won't even be able to talk to them."
Lan Qi smiled: "If I had entered the palace as a maid ten or twenty years later, I would have been a maid for the rest of my life."
"That's not necessarily the case. Things that are destined will come true sooner or later." Xuan Ye was relaxed and confident as he said, "But if you had come to see me ten or twenty years later, I would indeed think that you were just an inexperienced person."
A little girl in the world. But when we met, although you were a little girl, I was only twenty years old. At that time, we were young and vigorous, but our tempers were compatible and we looked at the world from the same perspective. I just felt that I had found the one.
Confidant and reliance, you see, everything is doomed."
Lan Qi smiled sweetly. She was originally concerned about Chen Changzai's affairs, but in the end, the emperor made a confession. He ruthlessly cut off Chen Changzai's lingering feelings, but at the same time, he protected himself tenderly. Maybe just like the sea.
Xuan Ye himself said that he was not heartless, but he was not passionate about other people. For Lan Qi herself, this was the best thing.
Then he said: "Chang Chen is there, and Duan concubine will take good care of her. Next year, she will give birth to a boy and a half girl. Please ask the emperor's permission to keep the child in Zhongcui Palace. Sister Duan concubine and the others have worked hard to raise your daughters and marry them off. Now it's strange
If you are lonely, leave your baby to take care of them to relieve your boredom."
Xuan Ye agreed: "In the future, you will be the one to make the decision. I know you are the most measured." As he spoke, he looked at Lan Qi with a smile, ambiguity gradually overflowed from his eyes, and said softly, "What did you use today?
The scented powder smells really good.”
"I remember the taste somewhere. I feel fresh when I come here, but it has always been the same taste." Lan Qi was squeamish and wanted to push Xuan Ye away angrily, but he followed the pole and kissed her with his lips.
He burrowed into his body and murmured in his mouth, "Then let me take a good smell."
As soon as he provoked her, Lan Qi's body softened. The gentle land was filled with clouds and rain, and her head was filled with only lingering affection. But when she calmed down, a touch of helplessness would always come to her mind.
The next day when the emperor left, while she was washing up under the care of Huan Chun, she said to herself: "In a few years, I should stop the sign. If I stop the sign, he will run to Yonghe Palace every two days.
I really should ask people to gossip, and I can’t show it on my own face. Now that I’m not old enough, I can still serve him legitimately. I don’t care what others say, but it will be different in the future. Obviously we can still be together even at that age, but I
A younger woman had to be sent to him."
Huan Chun didn't know what to say at the side, but when he saw his master smiling through tears, he was not as sad as he said: "It turns out that after more than ten years, I still haven't changed. I've probably become a gray-haired old woman. I still think like this."
, that’s fine, I still regard myself as a woman, at least I won’t lose myself in the future.”
Only then did Huan Chun laugh: "I can see in my slave's eyes how the emperor's affection for you is only between the two. Even the words you are saying to my slave now, as well as the tempers and complaints you had in private in the past, are all What the Emperor likes most about you is that you are your true self in front of the Emperor, as you have been and will be in the future. How can this be replaced by others?"
Lan Qi sighed lazily: "If you coax me like this, I can be willing to face the new couple in the future."
After that, Lan Qi privately informed the concubines Duan and Bu Guiren, letting them take care of Chen Changzai who was about to give birth. They did not have to worry about Chen Changzai angering the emperor, and it was not their fault. Afterwards, they gave birth to the baby safely and raised it in Zhongzai. It was a favor to her that Chen Changzai could have a try in Cuigong, but she could no longer expect to be as prosperous as before in the future.
In contrast, Mi Guiren was indeed the "favorite concubine". Although the emperor seemed to have given her a cold treatment for a while, because Mi Guiren no longer hung around in front of others, and because Chen Chang came from behind, everyone in the palace thought it was Qi Guiren. The glory of Xiang Palace passed away. Who would have known that after Chen Changzai became pregnant, if there was anyone waiting for him in Qianqing Palace, it would be Eunuch Liang who would send people to Qixiang Palace to fetch the secret nobles.
Although the Mi nobles always hurried between Qianqing Palace and Qixiang Palace at night, and almost no one outside looked carefully, the Mi nobles were indeed in good health, and they were not disfigured as the people in the palace rumored. If the emperor had disfigured his appearance, How could he return to his former love when he looked still panicked?
But Lan Qi looked at the matter between Qixiang Palace and Mi Guiren with a cold eye, and learned from Xi's concubines that whether it was the Mi Guiren who was favored by herself now, or the emperor continued to "favor" her as the Wang family in the past, the character of both of them was real. The difference between clouds and mud is that Qixiang Palace, which used to be distorted and depressing, is now harmonious and warm. Lan Qi occasionally saw Xi Bin and felt that she was radiant and energetic. It was obvious at a glance whether she was living a comfortable life or not.
The days are passing by, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in the capital in November, but this winter has been warm, and it is not yet cold enough to accumulate snow. The Forbidden City, with no silvery white snow and no green branches and leaves, looks particularly solemn and majestic that day. The sky is clear, the sun shines on the golden brick red roof, and the entire imperial city shines brightly. The sedan chair that Sifu Jin entered the palace is walking on the long palace road. From a distance, the ordinary soft sedan chair seems to be coated with a layer of gold. , just like the Queen and Fengyu, naturally Yuxi herself cannot see such a situation.
The sedan stopped in front of the Yonghe Palace. Wen Chen and Wen Xian were already waiting. He carefully supported his sister-in-law. Wen Chen said in surprise: "Sister-in-law's belly is really big again."
Yu Xi smiled warmly and entered the door together with her sisters-in-law. Lan Qi had no room for her to bow. She had already laid a soft cushion on the chair and asked Huan Chun to carefully help her sit down. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not been together for some time. We met, and seeing Yu Xi's rosy complexion and eyes full of energy, Lan Qi felt relieved and said with a smile: "You have taken good care of yourself, but you must continue to be careful."
Yuxi agreed one by one, and chatted with Wen Chen and Wen Xian for a while while joking with E Niang. The two girls quickly asked their mother to send them away. After all, Lan Qi still had some personal words to tell Yu Xi, but after she finished speaking After those few words of advice, I heard Yu Xi say: "When I enter the palace today, I will pay my respects to E Niang. When the road is blocked by heavy snow in the twelfth lunar month, it will be difficult for me to come to pay you respects. I will not come to join in the fun on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Looking forward to a safe birth next spring."
Lan Qi nodded: "If you don't come today, I will tell Yinzhen to give you the same instructions."
Yu Xi was pleased, but a strange look flashed across her eyes immediately, and she seemed to have calmed down before saying to her mother-in-law: "Another thing, I came to congratulate my mother-in-law. Li Fujin is two months pregnant."
Lan Qi was startled, she was naturally happy that her son had an heir, but then she thought about it, this must have happened when her daughter-in-law was pregnant, Yu Xi might not feel good about it, so she just smiled lightly: "Let the people in the house follow the rules.
Just serve her, don't make too much fuss, what matters is your own body."
Yu Xi seemed to be happy to hear such words, and nodded in agreement. Lan Qi added: "In the palace, I can just tell the Queen Mother, and there is no need to be too public. It is not uncommon for children to be born in my brother's house now. You should be more calm and indifferent."
That’s good.”
"My son, please listen to your mother-in-law." Yuxi is satisfied that she is valued and favored by her mother-in-law, but she is rational in her heart and does not want her mother-in-law to really misunderstand that Li Fujin is serving people with sex, or that her husband has changed her mind and separated her from Yinzhen.
After explaining the agreement for a while, he said timidly at the end, "I was obsessed with the heir before, which must have caused you trouble. I hope my mother will not blame me, and I will be good to you in the future."
Lan Qi was filled with pity and smiled gently: "You are devoted to Yinzhen, why would I blame you? Just don't hurt yourself."
Yu Xi smiled: "Eniang always favors me. Sometimes I feel sorry for you and do things too willfully."
Lan Qi nodded and said: "As long as you understand in your heart, and when you have your own child, don't ignore Nian Tong. She is Yinzhen's eldest daughter. Even if she is a concubine, it means a lot. If you are good to Nian Tong, others will
Everyone will see it."
Yuxi agreed obediently, and then Lan Qi invited the imperial physician to examine her daughter-in-law's health. The imperial physician said that both the pregnant woman and the fetus were very healthy. Only then did she feel relieved. She didn't want the child to have to work hard to stay in the palace, so she sent someone out early.
.
And this day seemed destined to be lively. As soon as my daughter-in-law left the palace, news came from the seventh elder brother's house outside that Xi Fujin was about to give birth. At sunset, I finally heard that Xi Fujin had given birth successfully and was the seventh elder brother's child.
After marrying the little princess, the emperor had a granddaughter. This year, good news about the royal family's blossoming and fruiting came one after another. The Queen Mother was so happy that she asked the good people in the Sixth Palace to organize the festivals in the twelfth lunar month. In the blink of an eye, another year was about to pass.
In the first month of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, there were several heavy snowfalls in succession. The winter at the end of the old year was not cold. Unexpectedly, after New Year's Day, the climate took a turn for the worse. There was no atmosphere of the new year. It seemed as if we were still in the coldest month of winter. Before the Lantern Festival, the sky was covered with clouds and cold winds.
Rustling, everyone in the palace was hiding in their houses to avoid the cold and keep warm. It was a rare occasion that there was no New Year bustle in the first month of the year.
It was also at this time that something annoying happened in Mobei. After all, Galdan refused to surrender to the Qing court. After surviving for several months, he fled to the desert again, hiding in an oasis to recuperate. And now he is
If you don't harass Khalkha and don't make Alabutan an enemy, then you are no longer worthy of the emperor's use. There are rumors inside and outside the palace that the emperor intends to encircle Galdan again, and this time he will be wiped out.
