Huanchun accepted the order and watched his fourth brother leave. When he returned to Yonghe Palace, he saw his empress feeding the birds under the eaves. He wanted to wait for her to go to Jingyang Palace with him, so he first told his master the scene in front of the palace gate.
After hearing this, Concubine De said: "You are right. The concubines are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the East Palace. Zhan Shifu has his own affairs to take care of everything about the prince, but their brothers always have to meet each other. If Yinzhen is not careful, some ordinary words will be heard by the prince. It becomes a show off in front of them, which is not good for their brothers."
Huan Chun took the food plate from the empress's hand and said distressedly: "How old is the fourth elder brother? Empress, you have also forgotten that the fourth elder brother is still a child, right?"
There was a smile in Concubine De's eyes, showing her tenderness for her children, but she had to shake her head: "There are no children in the house. If you want to be a child, you have to be a child for the rest of your life. But your fourth brother is not happy, and even the thirteenth and fourth brothers are not happy." Just follow him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid led the young eunuch of Qianqing Palace into the door to salute. Concubine De ordered him to come forward and speak. The young eunuch said smartly and cautiously: "Long live my Majesty, I want to ask you, have you packed your luggage for going out? It will be sunny tomorrow." , just take advantage of the good weather to go to the garden."
The emperor was so impatient, Concubine De felt helpless and amused, and ordered: "I will return to the emperor after Concubine Rong and I have had lunch."
In this way, when Yinzhen returned home, the news came that the Holy Emperor would move to Changchun Garden tomorrow. If the prince and ministers had any court affairs, they would report to Changchun Garden.
When Yinzhen came to Yuxi with a stove in hand, he happened to see Nian Tong crying nonstop, making a lot of noise outside the door.
I imagined that the house must be in chaos, but when I walked around the screen, I saw Yuxi holding the child, patiently and tenderly making her happy, and pacing under the window unhurriedly. The child in her arms was tired of crying. , I was gradually attracted to my aunt, and I hummed twice when I thought about it.
The peace and beauty in front of him almost made Yinzhen forget that his desire for Tong was not from Yuxi, but when he realized it, he felt even more distressed.
How old are they as a couple, not to mention that they were still children when they got married? E Niang even reminded him not to be impatient and to worry about Yu Xi's health, but people outside were forcing them to "grow up" with their gossips. .
However, from the late emperor and present generation to the emperor's elder brothers, everyone has come here like this. In the eyes of ministers and clansmen, there are no children or teenagers, only the unbroken royal incense.
"Nian Tong, look who's back, oops..." Yuxi turned around at this moment and saw her husband standing under the screen, so he teased the baby in his arms and pointed out where Amma was.
Yinzhen stepped forward and placed the hand stove on the coffee table, then carefully took his daughter from his wife's arms. The soft swaddling clothes made him very nervous. It was only a hundred days since the child was born, and he had only held it a few times. It was really light in his hands, and he didn't want to Dare to hug.
Yu Xi tilted her head and looked at him, and asked with a smile in her eyes: "Why is Ama so happy to come and hug our eldest sister today?"
But Yinzhen said: "This girl looks so small. She is not light to hold. It is difficult for you to work hard every day."
Yu Xi didn't care. After checking whether the child was comfortable in her father's arms, she turned her eyes to the square hand stove, picked it up and inspected it, and asked: "Where did it come from? It's only October, how can you use a hand stove?" ?”
Yinzhen held the child stiffly and said, "Huang Ama gave it to E Niang. E Niang asked me to bring it to you."
Yu Xi hummed softly on purpose: "I knew how you could be so careful and think of giving me a hand stove."
Yinzhen asked worriedly: "Do you have cold hands too?"
Seeing that her husband was anxious, Yu Xi smiled even more happily and pointed at the little baby: "It's not a good idea to serve her with cold hands. The baby will be irritated, so you have to rub it or cover it to warm it before touching her little arms and legs."
Yinzhen was very grateful that his wife took such good care of a child not born to her, but he still felt it was a pity. If Tong had been born in Yuxi, he would have been happy.
"I'm teasing you, do you take it seriously?" Yu Xi stretched out her hand to rub her husband's brow before covering the stove. It was soft, warm, and sweet, "How can I still know how good you are to me?
"
The couple looked at each other and smiled. Yinzhen didn't want to mention the regret in his heart, so he talked about meeting Suo'etu under the palace gate and what Huanchun told him about the troubles in Yuqing Palace.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xi was not surprised at all, and said seriously: "There are things I have wanted to tell you for a long time. The little princess's biological mother, Wang Guannu, has a cousin of the same race, who is a secret noble who has been favored in recent years. But she had to favor the prince before,
Huang Ama didn’t even mention that she would be promoted to a higher position. On the contrary, after being attacked by eunuchs in Ningshou Palace, Huang Ama immediately made her a noble person.”
Let’s talk about the secret noble lady, a Han military banner girl who came from the south of the Yangtze River. She was as beautiful as a flower and was very popular with the emperor. According to external rumors, she was even more powerful than the Yonghe Palace in the past.
However, after giving birth to two princes one after another, the emperor did not mention the promotion and awards, and stayed in his usual position. Until the recent Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother held a banquet in Ningshou Palace, and the Wang family who went to the banquet was attacked by an eunuch.
Injured, it seems that in order to give the Queen Mother face, she hurriedly gave her the dignity of a noble person and gave her the title "Mi".
Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "This is not surprising. Which one does Huang Ama want to be granted? Does anyone else have to agree?"
Yuxi asked: "Ever since that sealed nobleman has never left Qixiang Palace, Yuqing Palace has become less peaceful. The prince and the princess have been in conflict all day long. Don't you know?"
Yinzhen was really stunned. Even what Huan Chun said today was the first time he heard about it.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "I don't blame you. It's just us women who like to gossip. The emperor and his brothers deal with ministers every day, how can we talk about these trivial family matters."
Yinzhen asked: "The princess is so stable, will she quarrel with the prince?"
Yu Xi sighed softly: "My Fourth Brother, I am not curious about the quarrel between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince at this moment, but why the two of them are at odds because Emperor Ama just sealed him as a secret noble?"
Of course, Yinzhen was not stupid. Hearing these words made his heart beat fast. He hurriedly called for the wet nurse to take the child away. He pulled Yuxi and sat down on the warm bed. He lowered his voice and said: "You are fooling around. Could it be that the prince has something to do with a noble man?"
, who told you, you are so bold, you dare to arrange it on Huang Ama."
Yuxi calmly asked back: "I didn't say this, you said it. Look, after hearing this, you, who didn't know even a single question, immediately thought of those troublesome others above you. Wouldn't it be even worse?
