The Crown Princess was startled and smiled awkwardly: "I have never noticed it. Could it be that Lord Jue Chan is not having a good time in the palace?"
Yinsu hurriedly said: "My brother's words are inappropriate. I think that now that I have left the palace, I must pay my respects to Concubine Hui when I rarely enter the palace. My greetings to Lord Juechan are even less than before, so I dare not
I'm sorry to bother you, Crown Princess, because you kindly want to do something for me. I just said this in a moment of impatience. It's just a sign of filial piety. It's really..."
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Babeile has always been smart and smart, but now he is stammering and unable to express his meaning. It seems that I really scared you. Anyway, I understand what you mean, even if it's just once or twice, I will
I want you to pay attention to the affairs of the noble Lord Jue Chan, and I believe that Babele will keep the secret for me and the prince regarding this matter tonight."
Yinsu was certain in his heart that he had perfunctorily passed it. He thanked the Crown Princess and hurriedly left Yuqing Palace and returned to his brother's residence. He stayed up all night and left the palace the next day on the pretext that Concubine De was going back to Beijing.
, but went straight back home, wanting to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bafujin hadn't seen her husband for several days. Seeing that Yinsu was haggard and tired, she wanted to wait quietly by his side, but her husband told him what happened last night. Bafujin listened calmly and said for a long time: "It's not easy to talk about it.
It's just that the prince is a bit indiscreet, but it's not a big deal."
Yinsu said hurriedly: "I calmed down when I saw the Crown Princess yesterday. Sure enough, you and I have the same mind. But she insisted on doing something for me so that we can be even with each other. I knew that they must be on guard against me.
Everything in the Qianqing Palace and everything in the Yuqing Palace, I arranged it the way I did last night. I can hide it from the eunuchs and maids, but I can never hide it from the Emperor Ama who is thousands of miles away. We brothers have known it since we were young.
Every move in Yuqing Palace is in the eyes of Huang Ama."
Ba Fujin nodded: "Since you have been involved in this matter, the Crown Prince will definitely suspect that you will tell others, which will inevitably lead to the Emperor's investigation, and he may take the initiative to admit his mistake to the Emperor. Now that you have perfunctoryly dealt with the Crown Princess's affairs, you will let her have more trouble."
Zhao Fu Niang, in the future, even if the emperor asks you for questions, there will be nothing you can't say, it's just a matter of filial piety."
Yinsu was delighted with his wife's calmness: "If Huang Ama comes to ask me later, he must have asked the prince first. Then I might as well say that I don't know. As a brother, I must be loyal to the prince. This is brotherhood."
deep."
Bafujin just asked worriedly: "Then the emperor will think you are disloyal to him."
Yinhu said: "We are father and son, and he is heaven. There is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty to my father. I believe that what he values more is the relationship between our brothers. Deep brotherhood is also filial piety." As he spoke,
With his brows furrowed, he was obviously still thinking about more important things. Suddenly, he felt something stirred in his heart, but he asked his wife, "Does it scare you if I worry so much?"
Ba Fujin smiled: "I have been in Prince An's Mansion for more than ten years, and there has never been a day when I didn't deal with them like this. Neither you nor I have any ill intentions, I just don't want to be used and bullied by others. It's not easy for me, and it's even harder for you. I will do it
Why should I be afraid of you? Instead, I want to say to you, thank you for your hard work."
Yinsu felt warm in his heart, and then reminded his wife that Concubine De would be returning to the palace in a few days, and asked her to remember to enter the palace to greet her.
At this moment, Concubine De was already on her way back. Early that morning, she was escorted by Shun Anyan and her bodyguards. When passing through the yamen of various places, the local people would arrange to pick her up and see her off. The large group of people still followed the concubine, and Concubine De was taken away.
The number of people was only enough to take care of the safety of their mother and daughter. In fact, it was obvious that no one knew how many troops the emperor secretly sent.
Because Xiao Chen'er couldn't bear to be separated from her sister, Concubine De finally returned to the capital with her two daughters. As expected, Princess Wen Xian started to feel dizzy and weak as soon as she got on the carriage and not far away. Fortunately, she was going back to the capital. If she continued
Going to Haraqin, the child will suffer more. Wen Xian did not dare to be tough anymore. She could stand it and drove to the capital in a bumpy way. A few days later, when they were approaching the capital, there were people coming from the front. It was the fourth elder brother who led the people.
Came to pick up my mother.
"Does this count as leaving your post without permission?" Lan Qi felt sweet and warm in her heart when she saw her son, but she couldn't help but care about his errand.
"If we can't let E Niang go home safely, Huang Ama will really lose his temper." When the son saw that his mother and sister were safe and sound, he was relieved for a long time, but the mother and son had the same temper, and Yinzhen couldn't help but murmur.
, "Why did Huang Ama send you back like this? If something goes wrong on the way, why not let me pick you up. But I can't wait for the order, so I dare to run out on this short road."
While talking, Yinzhen went to see Wen Xian and saw his sister lying motionless like a kitten. He couldn't help teasing her: "Our devil incarnate, what's going on?"
Wen Xianchong's brother bent his fingers to look like tiger claws and said softly: "When I get better, watch me bite you."
The family entered the city happily. The roads were cleared in the city and they sent Concubine De and the princess directly back to the palace. The imperial doctor had been waiting at Yonghe Palace to diagnose and treat the princess, and Yuxi was also waiting with Li Fujin and the children.
Got there.
As soon as Lan Qi entered the door, she first heard Nian Tong's voice, and saw the little girl running out nimbly. Behind her, Honghui staggered out of the threshold, but failed to stand firm and sat down. Nian Tong was halfway running when she heard her brother crying.
He made a sound and turned back to lift Honghui up, but his grandmother had already arrived, hugging them one on the left and the other on the right.
After Yu Xi hurriedly saluted her mother-in-law, she went to Wen Xian's side, while Li Fujin stayed here to look after the children. After seeing that everything was in order, Lan Qi returned to the bedroom to wash and change clothes. Not long after, her daughter-in-law came back and reported with a smile:
"My sister has already gone to bed. The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious and she will be fine after a few days of rest. However, my sister's constitution may not be suitable for traveling far away. I need to pay more attention to her in the future."
Lan Qi was sitting in front of the mirror, combing her hair. Huan Chun saw that Fujin was eager to try, so he smiled and handed the comb over and said, "My slave has to change clothes too. Can you trouble Fujin to comb your hair for the queen?"
Yu Xi hurriedly took over and waited until Huan Chun and others left before coming over to help E Niang tidy up her hair. The bun had been combed again, and she only needed to smooth out the fine hair, and then put on the hairpins and hairpins one by one.
She did it carefully, and when she was ready, she looked in the mirror and couldn't help but say, "My mother is so beautiful."
Lan Qi smiled and said, "I'm already old."
Yuxi helped her sit aside to serve tea. He handed a bowl of tea to her mother-in-law and said timidly: "Mother, I have changed a lot these days. Yinzhen and I will never have any trouble again. You
Are you still angry about what happened before? Can you forgive my wife?"
"It sounds like your mother-in-law hates your mother-in-law." Lan Qi smiled and asked Yuxi to sit down. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked affectionately about family matters and children's matters. People outside were laughing constantly thinking about Tong and Honghui, while Yuxi was worried.
He said, "But Hong Chan is not well. I wanted to bring him into the palace today to make you happy, but the child woke up again and vomited again in the morning. His small body, in the words of the imperial doctor, is really going to make it hard."
While they were talking, there was a commotion outside, and they heard Nian Tongjiao calling her fourteenth uncle. Sure enough, she saw the fourteenth brother coming in like a gust of wind. Yuxi got up and went to the side. Yinqi came up without any rules and sat down next to his mother.
Concernedly asked: "Is your journey safe, my mother-in-law?"
Lan Qi said: "Your fourth sister-in-law is here."
Yu Xi smiled hurriedly: "Brothers, there is no need to be polite. E Niang and my fourteenth brother have a chat, and I will go and see Xiao Chen'er."
Watching his sister-in-law leave, Yinqi said: "The fourth sister-in-law is the same as before again." Sure enough, children have a simple view of things, and the fourth sister-in-law in their eyes has indeed changed. Lan Qi said nothing, while her son continued: "These days
, my fourth sister-in-law often sent people to ask me if I was okay, and also gave me Western toys, saying that I was bored at home alone."
"A sister-in-law is like a mother. You should listen to your sister-in-law when your mother is not here." Lan Qi responded, but saw a scar on her son's chin. She frowned and asked what was wrong, but Yinqi said nonchalantly, "Wrestle with Shuda."
Yes, it’s okay.”
Mothers are always worried, twisting their son's cheeks to look carefully at the injuries, but Yinqi avoided it, ran to the door and took a few glances, then leaned next to E Niang and said softly: "E Niang, I see
Something extraordinary has happened.”
Lan Qi was shocked in her heart, but her face was calm, and she deliberately laughed at her son: "What big deal can happen if you make all this fuss?"
But Yinqi frowned and said nervously: "Don't laugh at me, mother. It's true. I saw the prince wandering around the palace wearing eunuch clothes. What do you think he is going to do?"
Lan Qi then became concerned, why is he the prince again, why is he dressing up as a eunuch again, what is wrong with the prince, why does he always like to do such horrible things?
Yinqi continued: "I was afraid that I was wrong, so I secretly followed him for a while. He is definitely the prince."
Lan Qi felt so helpless that she could only ask her son: "Have you told anyone?"
The fourteenth elder brother said seriously: "I didn't tell anyone. I originally planned to tell my eighth brother, but in the next few days, he won't be in the palace much, and I won't be able to run into him."
"What do you want to say to Eighth Prince?" Lan Qi's smile was a little awkward.
"What else?" Fourteenth didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but the child was very smart and immediately understood what his mother meant and said with a smile, "I would like to tell Fourth Brother, but if he doesn't enter the palace, I can't go out to find him.
."
Lan Qi was afraid that her words would cause her son to misunderstand or worry too much, so she quickly changed the subject, denied Yinzhen as well, and told Yinzhen: "If you encounter such embarrassing things in the future, neither the fourth brother nor the eighth brother will allow you to do so."
Go ahead and tell me, you can only tell me."
The son didn't quite understand and murmured: "Do I have to report to E Niang first when I leave the palace in the future?"
This sentence stopped Lan Qi from questioning. She slowly calmed down and asked seriously: "Tell E Niang, what do you think of the prince and other brothers?"
Yinqi said without hesitation: "We are brothers, how should we treat them?" He paused and smiled, "Are you afraid that if I get along with my eighth brother, I will not respect my fourth brother in the future?"
Lan Qi said nothing, but her son said: "Fourth brother and I are from the same mother."
