665 There is still a smile that I don't want to see again
"What's so funny? How can you laugh after we haven't seen each other for several months?"
You can’t even go out with me?”
Lan Qi stood next to him and said with a smile: "I have said everything I need to say. The emperor's southern tour is not only for sightseeing. I also have things to do when I stay in the palace. Look at Sister Rong.
I haven't been in good health for a while, so no one can rest assured if I leave her at home."
"It has nothing to do with others. Without you and her, there would be no chaos in this palace." Xuan Ye still refused to give up, and seemed to be a bit childish. He also tried to persuade Lan Qi, "I don't worry if you are not by my side.
"
Lan Qi sat down unknowingly, leaned against him and said, "You have to tell me what's in your heart. Those days in the East Circuit Palace in the past years were really comfortable. After more than 20 years, I also want to take a rest."
This time you go out, I can be lazy for a few months, and there is someone watching in the palace, which is better than nothing. Anyway, if you have another chance in the future, I will definitely accompany you. Wen Xian is married, so there is no reason to accompany him anymore.
she."
"What if you have another excuse in the future?" Xuan Ye was unwilling to accept it, "We agreed, while we are still young, we can travel around the world."
Lan Qi cuddled up to him, rocking her body gently, and coaxing him to be happy with her gentle words.
Qi also wanted to pack for the emperor. Xuan Ye said that he would go to Yonghe Palace at night and she would finish her work here and leave first.
When he walked out of Qianqing Palace, Huanchun heard his master sigh deeply, saw an unusual look in her eyes, and tried to figure out what the empress was thinking, but finally did not ask any questions.
In the afternoon of that day, news suddenly came from the study that several brothers went to try out the horses they would ride on when the retinue set off the day after tomorrow. During the selection, a horse suddenly ran wild. The horses panicked and kicked and injured the brothers. Lan Qi
I was frightened to hear that. Fortunately, Thirty-Four was returned safely not long after, but she heard that the Ninth Elder Brother and the Tenth Elder Brother were seriously injured. Lan Qi was afraid that the Queen Mother would be uneasy, so she let the two children rest and went to Ningshou herself.
The palace came to comfort the Queen Mother, but Brother Ten's left arm was broken and he might not be able to move it for half a year.
The emperor sent Eunuch Liang to visit his 10th elder brother. Eunuch Liang worriedly asked the Queen Mother if she would change her mind and not go out. Unexpectedly, there was a difference between closeness and distance. The Queen Mother said: "We have made arrangements all the way. If I suddenly don't go, what will happen if I don't go out suddenly?"
I don’t know what the people and officials will think about such a big change. I can’t cause trouble to the emperor, so I will naturally go out according to the day. The people in the palace will take good care of the tenth prince."
Seeing the Empress Dowager's attitude, Lan Qi said no more. After settling down the Tenth Brother, she asked the Queen Mother if her luggage was all ready. The Empress Dowager replied that the Thirty-fourth Brother was also frightened and asked her to go back early.
Just left.
When I came back, I saw Wen Chen and Dun Ke playing shuttlecock in the yard. I knew it was Xing'er who came, so I went straight to my sons' house. Sure enough, I saw Min Chang beside Yin Xiang. The mother and son were sitting opposite each other.
I heard her say: "You are still young. Don't always ride on a horse. You are not as strong as your brothers. The important thing is that if you take a car, you can at least persuade the fourteenth brother to take a car too. This is his first time traveling far away. You
You should take more care of your brother."
Lan Qi walked in with a smile and said: "Yinxiang is the most sensible. He understands these words better than us. I am relieved that Yinqi will follow him out."
The people inside hurriedly left their seats. Lan Qi took Xing'er's arm and did not ask her to salute. After sitting down together, she saw that Yinxiang's luggage was packed neatly and praised him: "I urged Yinqi to pack his things, and he hurriedly hurriedly took his time.
The land has just been prepared, Yinxiang doesn't even need me to keep an eye on it, he will prepare it himself."
Min Changzai smiled: "Your teaching is still good."
Lan Qi knew that Xing'er must have come to see her because she was worried that her thirteenth brother would be kicked by a horse. This was nothing. After all, Min Chang had always been able to enter and leave the Yonghe Palace at any time, but now Lan Qi herself
I feel a little guilty, at least I don't want to see her these days. At this moment, I heard the child ask unhappily: "Why don't you ladies go out with Huang Ama? I will be worried about you when I am outside."
Min Changzai smiled and said: "The southern tour is not as good as the eastern tour. The distance is longer and the days are longer. Your sister's body cannot support it. She was sick last time she came back. It has been more than two months. Now she is still coughing at night."
Lan Qi inadvertently raised her head and looked at Min Chang Zai. She was explaining to the child gently. The smile in her eyes was sincere and sincere, but it made Lan Qi's heart tighten. Min Chang Zai suddenly raised his head and met her eyes, gentle and gentle.
He smiled and said: "I will come to accompany you more often, so we will never be bored."
Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the person who had changed her mind was herself. She hurriedly agreed with a smile: "It would be nice for us sisters to stay at home leisurely."
That day until evening, because the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were kicked by horses, they no longer went out with the guard. They thought that Concubine Yi would stay in the palace to take care of the ninth elder brother, but the emperor named her to continue with the guard.
At first glance, everyone thought that the emperor was very kind to Yikun Palace, but Lan Qi understood that if her son could not go out on patrol because her son was injured, Yi Fei's resentment would overturn the roof of Yikun Palace, and she should cause trouble for her in the future.
, Xuan Ye knew this truth very well, so he would rather keep his injured son than take her away.
And Lan Qi understood better that the reason why Min Changzai did not go on patrol with his subordinates was because she would not go if she did not want to go. If she had followed the subordinates, Min Changzai might have gone or not, but if she had stayed at home, she would definitely not have gone.
Going out. This is the reason why Lan Qi dare not tell the emperor, and will never tell anyone, why she does not want to go out with Xuan Ye this time.
This time she didn't want to go with the escort, just because she didn't want Xing'er to go out with him. For some reason, she regretted that she had let Yin Xiang persuade Xing'er, who didn't want to go out, to go with him on the eastward tour. Without the eastward tour, she wouldn't have returned halfway.
Xing'er's beautiful and happy smile will definitely never appear. From now on, Lan Qi doesn't want to see such a smile on her face again. What makes her hesitate is that Min Changzai takes everything calmly, which makes her originally stubborn
I felt a little guilty in my heart.
Even at this age, she suddenly became entangled in these relationships. She was not so conflicted and struggling at first, but now she can't let go. Lan Qi didn't know which soft and cowardly part of her heart this incident hurt.
, she had never competed with anyone for emotional favor, but she took the initiative to make a selfish decision for the first time. She did not want to see such a happy smile on Xing'er's face again, and she did not want the emperor to treat Xing'er.
There is still a little bit of nostalgia for my son.
Guilt is unavoidable, but when she learned that Xing'er was not with her, Lan Qi felt an inexplicable feeling of relief. Since this was selfishness deep in her heart, naturally no one else could notice it. Xuan Ye
Not to mention that Lan Qi would not know that as long as she did not face Min Changzai, she would not feel any guilt or discomfort, and that night and the day before departure, she would be able to spend time with Xuan Ye.
On the third day of February, the Holy Emperor went on patrol as scheduled and sent the Queen Mother and the Emperor away early in the morning. Everyone in the palace seemed to be relieved. Lan Qi and Concubine Rong first went to Yikun Palace to visit the Ninth Elder Brother. The Tenth Elder Brother was Zhejiang.
The boy lost his arm, and the ninth prince sprained his ankle. It was much lighter than that of the tenth prince, but his ankle was swollen like a steamed bun and he couldn't go out. The boy was very polite to the two ladies, but as soon as they left,
All that was left was to be full of resentment and vent his anger on the eunuchs and maids in the room. When he was losing his temper, it was announced from outside that Ba Beile had arrived.
Brother Ninth was very surprised. Seeing Brother Bage walking in the door lightly, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why didn't Brother Bage go with Huang Ama?"
Yinsu smiled like a spring breeze and said gently: "You and Lao Shi are both staying in the palace. I'm not worried. I asked Huang Ama for orders last night and also received an errand. I'm still here to keep an eye on the guards in the palace.
It’s a good idea to come into the palace to see you from time to time.”
Brother Ninth was indeed a little happy, but also very regretful: "It's not easy to tour the south. The scenery of Jiangnan is better than seeing it once. It's really not worth it for you to stay for us, Bage."
But Yinsu smiled: "There will always be a chance in the future. When we are older, it will not be difficult to serve as the Imperial Envoy and Censor for Emperor Ama. You can rest in peace and recover while we stay in the capital. We will naturally have fun.
.”
The two brothers exchanged a few words, and Yinhu said that he was going to Ningshou Palace to see his 10th prince. He came from Yikun Palace and passed the East Sixth Palace, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Yanxi Palace.
My mother went on a tour with him. Because she lived in Xianfu Palace in the past, she had a good relationship with Concubine Tong. This time she went out with Concubine Tong. Yesterday, he went into the palace to visit his injured brother and met E Niang during the trip.
E Niang asked him which was more important: a tour to the south or strengthening the hearts of his brothers. After thinking for a long time, he went to the palace to ask Emperor Ama for a decree, expressing his willingness to stay in the capital to take care of his brothers. The emperor hesitated at first, but
Still agreed.
It is indeed a pity that he cannot tour the south. He has much less experience than his brothers, but thinking that the ninth elder brother and the ten elder brothers have to establish their own business, the brothers will be able to support each other outside the palace for twenty, thirty years or even a lifetime.
He felt it was worth it.
In the blink of an eye, the emperor left Beijing for several days. The news from outside was that the journey was safe, and there were no disturbances in the palace. The concubines Rong and De were all staying in the palace. Naturally, everything was in order. It was just that the little brother in Sibeile Mansion was not good.
When the news came again, she could no longer be as optimistic as last time. Lan Qi waited all night, and before dawn, the news came that Hong Chan was dead.
After much hesitation, she still sent the news out. It was best to let Yinzhen know. Lan Qi could not leave the palace without permission, so she sent someone to tell Yuxi to take care of the aftermath, and even sent a message to Li Fujin to comfort her for the pain of losing her son.
, other things can no longer be done.
When Yinzhen learned the news that his son was dead, he had just returned from inspecting the river embankment with his father, covered in mud. Before he could grieve and change his clothes, his father sent someone to talk to him. Yinzhen was surprised to have changed into clean clothes.
Yi Shang had just arrived, so late for nearly a moment, so the emperor naturally wanted to ask him the reason for his late arrival.
But the fourth elder brother said calmly: "Huang Ama has taught his sons and ministers since childhood not to be disheveled and behave badly in front of others."
