As Princess Wen Chen recovered day by day, the exchanges between the palaces gradually became looser. Perhaps someone from the emperor had taken care of the Queen Mother and no longer interfered with Lan Qi's care of the children. Lan Qi knew that the Queen Mother was doing it for her own good, so her behavior was really
It was really impulsive, and I was grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness. I looked forward to Xiao Chen'er's complete recovery so that she could go and thank the Queen Mother.
And she devoted herself to her daughter, and it was only now that she calmed down and asked about the situation outside the palace. Although her daughter's acne was suspected to be contracted outside the palace, fortunately, everyone who came into contact with her that day passed through these days safely.
Especially when Yu Xi became pregnant, Lan Qi finally understood the difference between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and mother and daughter. At critical moments, she only had her own flesh and blood in her heart.
In the fourth elder brother's house, only when news came from the palace that Princess Wen Chen had recovered, did Yinzhen let the people in the house start going out and tell Yuxi what happened. Yuxi was really frightened. You know
She is going to give birth at any time now. If she catches acne, if she cannot give birth to the child in advance, both she and the child will be in danger. She knows in her heart that she cannot blame anyone. Sister Wen Chen is even more pitifully ill, but now she will
As a mother, you can only focus on your own flesh and blood.
The days passed by and the scabs on Wen Chen's body fell off. As expected by Xuan Ye, compared to the time when the disease occurred, this moment was the most difficult for the child. Even a well-behaved child like Xiao Chen'er couldn't bear it.
She wanted to cry, but her mother-in-law tied her hands and feet cruelly, so she could only cry and bear the pain of being bitten by insects and ants every day. Lan Qi also shed tears when she was with her, and always teased her with tears in her eyes: "If I scratch it, it will break."
, but if you have a few big pits on your face like Huang Ama, you can’t be as beautiful as E Niang.”
At the end of March, good news came from the front line. Galdan's army was defeated and he hanged himself. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were so strong that they would stop in Khalkha for a while before returning to Beijing.
On the same day, Fujin was in labor at the fourth elder brother's house. It was already sunset when Lan Qi got the news. She anxiously waited until midnight before the news finally came that the mother and child were safe. It was not easy for the daughter-in-law. She had worked hard to conceive in ten months, and finally gave birth to Yin.
Zhen gave birth to a little brother, and the fourth brother finally had a son in his house.
Lan Qi was happy, but her daughter had not fully recovered yet, and it was not appropriate to send things from Yonghe Palace outside the palace. It would be good for both the mother and the baby to be strong after a while, so she just sent someone to send congratulations.
Thinking of Tong, it became much more deserted.
Although everyone who understands knows that Concubine De is taboo about the illness of the princess and is not in a hurry to congratulate her daughter-in-law. However, there are some gossips who like to stir up trouble and make trouble out of nothing, saying that Concubine De is good to her daughter-in-law. It turns out that this is not the case.
It's just on the surface. It can be seen from what happened this time that he completely disregarded the life and death of his son and wife, and almost risked his own life to take care of his little daughter.
When the sisters-in-law and several others went to Si Age's house to visit He Xi, San Fujin said in front of Yu Xi: "As wives, we are always going to get angry. I thought you were better than me, but now it seems you are about the same. Rong.
When Princess Xian gave birth to her baby, even though she was thousands of miles away, she had the ability to send people to take care of her. I gave birth to her grandson, and I just urged the third elder brother to take the baby into the palace to have a look. I didn't even ask whether he was alive or dead.
, we just hope that our mother-in-law will feel a little more pain."
These words don't sound good, and after hearing them too many times, Yuxi will inevitably feel a little disappointed, even if she understands them in her heart. Fortunately, Yinzhen is meticulous and considerate to her, and relieves a lot of her postpartum nervousness, but to say that she is unhappy because of this matter
, it would be better to say that what is still lingering in her heart is still the fear of sister Wen Chen getting acne. Every time she looks at the delicate-skinned child in the cradle, she is worried about what will happen if she is unfortunately infected.
Happened, she would fall into this kind of fear for no reason. She thought she would be very happy after having a child, but the hard-won child actually made her worry about gains and losses.
Yinzhen has seen these subtle changes, but he is not allowed to enter the palace by his mother now, saying that he must wait until Wen Chen is completely recovered. Moreover, Huang Ama is about to return to the court, and the court gradually becomes busy.
He was busy going home every day to see his wife and children, and he didn't have time to go to and from the palace. He only knew that his mother and sister were safe in the palace, and he didn't know anything else.
As for the emperor's secret correspondence, it was not spread outside, but more and more people knew about it privately. By the time Mingzhu got the news, it was already a lot too late for the prince. At first, he refused to believe it and only waited for repeated confirmations.
The emperor really came back, so he anxiously sent a message to Concubine Hui.
The letter listed the disadvantages of Concubine Hui's current cautiousness. Yonghe Palace was getting stronger and stronger silently. Concubine De was able to enjoy herself in front of the emperor. Sometimes what they tried their best to get, Concubine De could achieve with just one sentence.
If they don't get rid of the enemy Yonghe Palace as soon as possible, even if they can overthrow the prince in the future, they will still have a longer and more difficult road to go. Now that the Fourth Prince is still young, it will be too late if he doesn't take action.
But Concubine Hui was frightened by what she saw, and hurriedly threw the letter in the incense burner and burned it. In the past, Mingzhu wanted to poison the prince in the study, and the result was the sudden death of the sixth elder brother, which still makes her feel lingering fear.
The concubine was attacked by a wolf. Over the years, Mingzhu had allowed her eldest brother to show off his talents in an orderly manner in front of the emperor, while secretly acting aggressively, which often caught her off guard. Mingzhu didn't even think about it, but today's Changchun Palace has long been empty, and the emperor rewarded her.
She was alive for the sake of her eldest brother. It really made the emperor anxious, so it would not be difficult for her to "die" of illness.
Concubine Hui has come to understand more and more over the years that those people in Mingzhu are so jealous of the emperor's game that they will not care about her life or death, because they have no way out. If they step back, they will be in despair, but she can still have a way out, as long as she
If she didn't push the emperor into a hurry, she could still be the noble concubine Hui.
But now she wants to understand that it is too late. She cannot send her son to a big position with her own strength. She is attached to Mingzhu, but she has become a puppet in their hands. While she wants to stabilize her position in the palace, she cannot let him go.
Mingzhu abandoned her. The important thing now is not how to get rid of Yonghe Palace, but how to find her own position and be as comprehensive as possible.
At the same time, on the prince's side, instead of Mingzhu's worry about the growing power of Yonghe Palace, what they were worried about was that the prince did not report the princess's acne to the front line, but the emperor rushed back in time at the critical moment. Apparently there was a wave in the palace.
There are even countless other forces supporting the imperial power, or monitoring the prince, or monitoring other people. Even if the emperor is not sitting on the dragon throne in the Forbidden City, nothing can escape his eyes.
Rather than saying that the emperor showed doting on his daughter or his great favor to the concubine, it was more about his extreme distrust of the prince. In doing so, the emperor must have expected that it would be impossible to conceal everything, since he didn't care about letting the prince know.
thing, then the trust between their father and son has obviously been hit hard again.
That day, Suo'etu left the Yuqing Palace. The prince was bored in the room and refused to come out. The princess looked worried and couldn't help but ask the prince what was wrong. Yinreng said that she was pregnant, so don't worry too much and didn't want to worry about it.
She mentioned those things, and since the princess became pregnant, her temperament has become much gentler than before. Her mother came to the palace several times to remind her, and she gradually restrained her aggressive temper. At this moment, she also said gently: "You and I are husband and wife.
If there is something we can't say between us, wouldn't my husband be too pitiful? If there is only one person in this world who is devoted to you wholeheartedly, I must be that person."
Yinreng was startled. He raised his eyes and saw the person standing in front of the table was full of tears. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But you don't have to cry."
The princess said: "I feel sorry for you."
"You feel sorry for me?" Yinreng frowned and smiled coldly, "So there are still people in this world who feel sorry for me?"
"Yinreng..." The princess burst into tears.
"It's Wen Chen's problem." The prince sighed and sneered, "I didn't report Wen Chen's acne to Huang Ama, but Huang Ama got the news from someone unknown and rushed back a few days ago.
, came and left in a hurry, hiding it from everyone, probably not even Yinti who was accompanying the army knew about it, let's see what he said when he came back."
The Crown Princess calmed down her sadness and said seriously: "My eldest brother will not tell you the truth."
Yinreng nodded: "I know too."
"Why don't you let me go talk to Empress De Fei? I'll politely tell you the reason why you didn't report to the front line. Regardless of whether Huang Ama told you about it or not, it's a fact that my sister has acne. She will still be cured when she comes back."
I want to report it. When the time comes, you can explain the reason to Emperor Ama, and I will talk to Empress Dowager De, so as to clear up their misunderstanding. You don’t mean any harm, do you?”
The princess spoke gently and calmly, and stood in front of the prince and said: "My uncle must have told you something very powerful again. Prince, can you listen to my advice? There are rules for handling things in the court.
But the relationship between father and son should never follow the rules. Only if you let Huang Ama feel that you are his son, will he let down his guard against you. But my uncle will only push you to the court. You are
Prince, sooner or later, this world belongs to you, the Emperor himself. Apart from the encirclement and suppression of Galdan, and the pacification of the San Francisco Conquest of Taiwan over the past thirty years, the Emperor has personally done every single thing. Why bother biting the eldest brother?
Why don’t they let go of their merits?”
Yin Reng frowned slightly and asked distrustfully: "That's not what you said when you first came here. At that time, you kept teaching me that you should be an excellent prince. Why do you ask me to do it well now?
A son?"
The Crown Princess felt a little ashamed, lowered her eyes and said, "I thought it was simple at that time, but after watching with cold eyes in the palace over the years and seeing why Empress Dowager De was able to stay with the Sacred Heart for a long time, I finally understood how she behaved in the world.
, I, my concubine, looked too far ahead and forgot all the things that should be done in front of me."
