Lan Qi was frightened out of her wits, just now Yinzhen forgot all those things, leaned on the side of the couch and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with you, just call the imperial doctor to take a look, Empress Dowager, you can't hide if you're not feeling well." .”

The empress dowager scolded her: "They said don't make a fuss, and the imperial doctor doesn't have to come. Once you make a noise, Xuan Ye will be nervous again. He will go to Shengjing at the end of the month, so let him go back and forth with peace of mind, and don't always delay him. leg."

"If you don't disturb the emperor, the imperial doctor will still be invited. The empress dowager, can you let the concubine feel at ease?" Lan Qi said, before the empress dowager nodded, she turned around and ordered the maids to invite the imperial physician. Naturally, there were people waiting day and night to take care of the empress dowager's body, and someone rushed over immediately. The empress dowager couldn't stand their soft-heartedness, so she could only rest and consult the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

After careful inspection, the imperial doctor exited the inner hall and told Concubine De and Madam Su Mala: "The Empress Dowager has always been able to see and hear, and at most she encounters a cold or a heat, a cold and a cough. After checking, I still have no serious symptoms, but the Empress Dowager The Empress Dowager is indeed old, and she is afraid of suffering from thirst, so I heard that she ate too much lotus root with honey, from now on, the empress and mother should pay attention to the diet of the Empress Dowager, sweet and greasy things must not be eaten too much."

The mother hurriedly said: "Just now, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother were coaxing. The empress dowager was so happy that she ate four or five slices of lotus root with sweet-scented osmanthus honey. Be careful in the future."

The imperial doctor said: "That's right, I will study the medicinal recipe overnight when I go back and submit it tomorrow, so as to relieve my mother's worries."

But Lan Qi said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't like the smell of medicinal food, she still focuses on nourishing food, and it is better to find ingredients with the same origin as medicine and food, which is better than those with strange smells. The Empress Dowager is getting old, don't let her eat it anymore. With all these sufferings, if you can’t even have a bite of good food, how will you live your life?”

The imperial doctor repeatedly said yes, saying that the concubine Defei was thoughtful, but she didn't prescribe any medicine after that, saying that it would be good to eat what she usually eats, and she withdrew after a while.

When Lan Qi came back, the old man was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the movement, he knew they had returned, and he closed his eyes and asked with a disdainful smile, "What's the matter? What serious illness have I got?"

Lan Qi didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "It's because you are greedy for eating lotus roots, and now you can't alarm the emperor. If you know that the concubine made these things and made you feel uncomfortable, the emperor will have a bad face for four or five days. Show it to the concubine."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "He dares, if you ignore him for four or five days, he will be in a hurry."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lan Qi said, "The imperial doctor said that you are getting old, and you should be careful when eating in the future. The concubine thinks, in a lifetime, the most enjoyable thing is to rely on those few bites, and don't let them give you food. What kind of messy medicinal diet, you can eat whatever you want, but we only have a few mouthfuls to satisfy our hunger, and we usually make some delicious and delicious things, do you think it will be possible?"

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes leisurely, looked at Lan Qi with satisfaction, and asked, "If you don't listen to the imperial physician, you won't take responsibility, aren't you afraid that Xuan Ye will blame you?"

Lan Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that if she didn't listen to the doctor's advice and did what she said, in case something happened to the Empress Dowager, others would take a bad breath on her, and it would be okay to accuse her of some crimes. unknown.

"What, are you scared?" The Empress Dowager asked.

"No way." Lan Qi shook her head a little, and put those hidden worries out of the sky, and coaxed the Empress Dowager like a child, "I only hope that you will live every day happily and bitterly every day." Taking medicine, life is not as good as it was, and there is no pain, what to do if you have nothing to do? If you are really sick, you really can’t hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Now you just want to rest, and you should eat better and be more energetic. Only when you feel happy can your body recover. If the emperor wants to be nagging, the concubines just ignore him."

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, Xuan Ye's voice came out from the hearty laughter, and asked: "What is the imperial grandmother supporting you again, you dare to ignore me?"

Lan Qi turned around and saw Xuan Ye coming, her face flushed, she left the table and bowed her knees, Xuan Ye glared at her with a smile, took advantage of the situation and sat where she had just sat, and earnestly asked her grandmother what was wrong.The news that the imperial physician was invited first spread to Qianqing Palace, he didn't dare to come over in a hurry for fear that his grandmother would be unhappy, so he just waited for half an hour before coming, because he didn't hear anything important, he wasn't too nervous.

Lan Qi wiped Xuan Ye's hands with a hot handkerchief, and the emperor touched his grandmother's body after wiping his hands clean. He rubbed her arm and said, "Don't rely on Lan Qi to love you and just eat random things. Think about your grandson." As she spoke, she glared at Lan Qi and reprimanded her, "You are not allowed to act recklessly, you must put the emperor's grandmother's body as the most important thing, and you are not allowed to get anything that candy lotus root deceives children. Brothers come to say hello, You should leave as soon as you talk, don’t bother the emperor’s grandmother to rest, and don’t get some food, are you afraid of pampering them? You can only be clear-headed when you are half hungry, and everyone has to study, so you can’t get fat if you are full. How to grow up?"

Lan Qi rubbed against the empress dowager, and pouted her lips at the emperor. The empress dowager smiled happily, coaxing her and saying, "Xuan Ye dare not scold me, so I can only vent my anger on you. Come on, yesterday you If you like my enamel Bu Yao, let Su Mala bring it to you."

"Thank you, my concubine, the Empress Dowager." Lan Qi smiled like a flower, and raised her face proudly at Xuan Ye, but Xuan Ye said, "I've been sitting for a while, where's the tea?"

She just walked away in a hurry, and now the emperor is spoiled, but wherever she is, she doesn't drink tea made by others, and when she left, Xuanye asked her grandmother's body again, and said seriously that he was not joking, to him Saying that, nothing weighs more than a royal grandmother.

"Jiangshan is the most important thing, and you still have a wife and children." The Empress Dowager was also serious, and said to Xuan Ye, "I will have a day sooner or later. Instead of worrying about it, why don't we be happy when we can see each other again?" , look at Lan Qi, she smiles in front of me every day, seeing that you are all well, makes me feel at ease."

Xuan Ye felt a little proud, but still smiled and said: "She is also confused sometimes, she only knows how to make you happy."

"People are alive, isn't it just to be happy?" The Empress Dowager didn't care very much, looked at her grandson, thought of the great-grandchildren, and said earnestly, "Fuquan Changning and you are in harmony, which is the most gratifying thing for me. It is also because of the small age gap between you. Back then you were a child, and they were also children, so there were countless things to do. But when you come here, it is very different, Xuan Ye. In the past, the imperial grandmother was worried that your offspring would be thin, but now you have many children. There are more worries. You may have more children in the future. For some things, you have to be prepared and calculated in your heart. The age difference between the children is very large, and they are different from my mother. They have different upbringing and temperament. Each of them is different. A dozen or so children can’t cherish harmony like your brothers, and there will always be relatives and estrangements. After ten or twenty years, even if you see and hear something, don’t be sad. I heard that the people The family has to fight for several rooms and acres of land, not to mention so many temptations in the royal family."

"Grandson understands." Xuan Ye also had a serious expression on his face, let alone more than ten or twenty years later, all kinds of persecutions before, whether it was the crown prince or Yin Zuo who died in vain, they were all talking about these things, but now it is behind them Due to the influence of power, it is unknown that the child will have a different heart in the future.There are more and more children, and his joy of being a father is getting less and less. This is one of the reasons. He is an emperor, and his thoughts are always more and more cruel than ordinary people.

"But this is a matter of the future. Let's just think about it. You have children and grandchildren, so raise them well now. If there is a good one, it's not too late to think about those things until the front door."

After the empress dowager spoke seriously, she reassured Xuan Ye not to worry too much. At this moment, Lan Qi brought tea and said to Xuan Ye with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't talk too much with the empress dowager. It takes a lot of energy to talk, and you can't sleep peacefully at night. gone."

Xuan Ye was not convinced: "I still want you to teach?"

When she was talking, Su Mala flipped through the enamel-colored Bu Yao that the Empress Dowager said, took the box and gave it to Lan Qi. Lan Qi looked at Xuan Ye proudly, and the emperor said to her: "Have you tricked most of the things here from the imperial grandmother into the Yonghe Palace?"

Lan Qi muttered: "The Empress Dowager is willing to reward the concubine, why is the emperor being stingy? It's too ugly to cheat, and the concubine still wants to cheat. Is the Empress Dowager someone who can cheat?"

The Empress Dowager scolded: "You are not allowed to talk to the emperor like that, you are out of control." But even so, she still smiled cheerfully: "She said that she has two daughters now, and the dowry when she gets married in the future should not be too much. Shabby, keep these good things and give them as dowry to the children."

Xuan Ye shook his head straight, blaming his grandmother for pampering her too much, but it was all a joke, the three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and when they learned that the emperor hadn't had dinner yet, Aunt Su Mala invited Xuan Ye to have a simple meal. Bian Lanqi accompanied the Empress Dowager, after all, the old man was not feeling well just now, but when he was happy, he was in good spirits, after a little quiet, he still felt tired, and fell asleep before Xuan Ye had finished his dinner.

When Lan Qi came out to see Xuan Ye again, the emperor told her: "Don't go back tonight, I will be living in the Palace of Compassion and Peace these few days, I am even more worried about you leaving the emperor's grandmother."

The two of them were talking seriously at the moment, without any intention of joking. Lan Qi sent him outside, and Xuan Ye said again and again: "I know it's not easy for you to coax the emperor's grandmother to be happy. I just told you that it's true. This is the reason, no matter how many days the imperial grandmother has left, you must let her live happily. You can handle everything carefully. The important thing is that the imperial grandmother is comfortable and happy. I will always be there for other things, and no one can hinder you .”

The emperor gave him the greatest trust, and there was nothing Lan Qi could not let go of, but she followed the empress dowager every day, and she could understand everything better than others, and told Xuan Ye seriously: "The empress dowager must always hold on Fighting for your face, the emperor, especially during festivals, I always say that the people in the clan should not take it lightly. Every time I try to cope with it, I can't sleep well at night, and my concubine looks really distressed. Your majesty, my concubine I dare not say disrespectful words, but the Empress Dowager is really aging, and it is no longer a trivial matter of adding a few gray hairs, if you are free, you should come and spend more time with the Empress Dowager."
