Concubine Rong stretched out her hand to raise Lan Qi's pillow slightly, and wanted to feed her water. She brought a tea bowl and a spoon, put two spoonfuls of water into her mouth, and then wiped her with a towel, and said softly: "Someone in the garden said , Said that the crown prince once caught a wolf cub while hunting, and it seemed that someone had to raise it but not kill it, as for where it was kept, I don’t know, but after raising it these days, it can grow up.”

"There are already such rumors?" Lan Qi frowned. The prince didn't even see a person in yesterday's incident, but he was also implicated in it. Someone can drag the prince.Other elder brothers always have mothers to help Zhouquan, or they are not taken seriously at all. As for him, he looks like a prince who is loved by the emperor like a treasure. In fact, he is alone and helpless, which is very pitiful.

"When the prince lived in the garden alone, he was so bored that he asked someone to bring a few cranes from outside to raise them. Now the ones outside the Ningchun hall were brought in last year when he was alone in the garden." Rong Rong The concubine gave Lan Qi some more water, and said softly, "The people from the prince have a way to get these things."

Lan Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to persuade Concubine Rong: "My sister never cares about such things, so don't think too much about it this time. Anyway, there is no danger, and I will be fine in a while. You know, the prince's matter , we shouldn’t talk too much.”

"You can only say such things to me now if you are out of danger, what if you die?" Concubine Rong's eyes were condensed, and there was hatred in her eyes, "I know this truth a few years ago, I don't like it Concubine Hui is double-faced and mercenary. Although I'm not a good person, I don't do anything harmful. I only wish for the safety of Jingyang Palace and the safety of my third elder brother. Now I hate their tricks of killing people, who knows Next time, will it be the third elder brother's turn?"

It is rare for Lan Qi to see Concubine Rong with such a temperament. She always only speaks calm words, and now she blames herself for not being a good person. When she speaks seriously, she can't help but reach out to comfort her: "Your Majesty knows best what kind of person my sister is. What are you worried about?" There are too many women in the palace, and he will inevitably be greedy for new things. We are sour, but we all know that he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. As long as he treats him sincerely, he will not be wrong to us. We outside the palace There is nothing to rely on, and it is quiet, but the strong support outside the palace is not as strong as the emperor, so my sister can rest assured and rely on him."

Concubine Rong's smile was slightly bitter, but she seemed to agree. She put down the tea bowl and brought candied fruit, but Lan Qi didn't want to eat it. She tore a piece of preserved apricot and stuffed it into her mouth. She frowned and said sourly. , Is it possible that when the children grow up and leave my side, I will completely forget that I am their mother-in-law, and I will feel at ease."

Lan Qi smiled and said, "We will talk about the future."

Unexpectedly, Lan Qi was almost bitten to death by a wolf, but it caused other people to understand life. Concubine Rong was more worried than Lan Qi.In the past two days, apart from the inconvenient private matters, and sweating back and forth, at other times, whether in the palace or in the garden, those things and people can't touch and see, and it's useless for her to worry about it. It's better to let yourself go Rest, since Concubine Yi took over the burden, it has been a long time since she has such leisure.

Not long after Concubine Rong left that day, Luzhu came in to report, saying that the fourth elder brother had sent Xiao Hezi to ask if he could come over to see Er Niang. She was afraid that her mother would not be happy and did not dare to come directly. Lan Qi blamed her son for being hypocritical, and said with a smile: "You Go and ask him if he didn't want to come here because he was afraid that I would be unhappy about it, so he came to sniff out his words, don't pretend to be courteous."

Luzhu laughed and said: "Si elder brother is a child, why is your mother also a child? The servants don't want to talk about it, so please invite Si elder brother." After finishing speaking, she ran out to send a message to Xiao Hezi, asking him to invite Si elder brother quickly Come.

In Taoyuan Bookstore, the fourth elder brother and the third elder brother have done their homework and are practicing boxing in the yard. Yesterday they saw the elder brother stretching out his hand so bravely. Said that Huang Ama gave it to him with great difficulty, because the rules in the garden were not as strict as those in the palace, so he took it with him, but he didn't dare to take it with him when he was in the palace, but he didn't expect it to be gone after only ten days.

Followed by the little eunuch who was waiting on him to bring it back to the third elder brother. The wolf's body was disposed of, and the knife was still there, but the third elder brother said angrily: "It's all stained with animal blood, I don't want it."

While talking, someone came in front of the door, thought it was Xiaohezi who came back from Ruijingxuan, but saw Eunuch Liang coming with the little eunuch, saluted the two elder brothers with a smile, and said auspiciously.

"Director Liang is here to pass on Huang Ama's will?" The two brothers stood in front of Eunuch Liang with solemn faces, ready to receive the order.

However, Eunuch Liang said that the emperor had a decree to exempt him from courtesy, and the young eunuch behind him held a red lacquer wooden plate, and on the yellow soft satin lay an elbow-long machete, the scabbard was made of gold, and the red and sapphires on it complemented each other, making it dazzling.Eunuch Liang smiled respectfully: "Third elder brother, please accept the reward. Long Live Lord sent someone back to the palace to find it early in the morning. He said that if the third elder brother hadn't been witty and brave to hand over the knife to the eldest brother yesterday, the eldest brother would have I don't have a guy in my hand, I'm afraid I can't deal with that beast, and the concubine De concubine was able to retreat unscathed, and the third elder brother also has credit."

Yinzhi was very happy, even though Ama wanted him to be excused, he still bowed in the direction of Qingxi Bookstore, and then took down the scimitar with both hands, inlaid with too many precious stones, the knife was very heavy, and drew it out of its sheath facing the sun , the light refracted by the cold iron just pierced Yinzhen's eyes, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes feeling uncomfortable, but saw the third elder brother happily running to find his master with a knife in his hand.

"Fourth elder brother." At this moment, Xiao Hezi's voice was suddenly heard. Xiao Hezi ran in frizzy, and didn't see Mr. Liang first. What kind of rituals do I perform, I am a slave, a little thing with no eyesight."

Xiaohezi smiled foolishly, and Eunuch Liang said to the fourth elder brother: "If Xiaohezi is frizzy and disobedient, fourth elder brother can just talk to the servant, and the servant will teach him a lesson."

Yinzhen knew that Manager Liang had always done things for Er Niang, and he didn't say this to curry favor with himself. Instead, he smiled kindly: "He's always very skinny, and you should get his bones back later."

Xiao Hezi begged for mercy with a sad face on the side, gossiped a few words, and then Eunuch Liang left, only to say that Empress Defei asked him to hurry over, Yinzhen changed his clothes, asked someone to leave a message for the third elder brother, and came to Ruijingxuan by himself .

When I entered the door, I happened to meet Ping Guiren coming out, and when I met him outside the door, Ping Guiren said angrily, "Why did the fourth elder brother walk in the garden with a little eunuch? You are too careless. Maybe there are wolves."

Yinzhen smiled and said nothing, nobleman Ping said goodbye before entering the door, and Yukui Xiangyue came up to take off the cloak for the little master, and asked nobleman Ping what he said in a soft voice, muttering that nobleman Ping was not good, and he didn't care if she came to give it to him Please be kind to the empress, let the fourth elder brother not talk to me, just let Huanchun come out to hear it, and there will be a scolding, Yinzhen's face is not very good-looking, of course it is definitely not for some noble person.

The child was in a bad mood, and the mother knew it at a glance. When Yinzhen came to her, she took her son's hand and acted like a baby: "Are you so unwilling to come and see my mother? You have already entered the door, and your face is drooping."

Only then did Yinzhen smile a little, and scolded his mother: "You are always acting like a baby, and you are going to be like Wen Chen."

Lan Qi smiled and coaxed her son, "Didn't we agree that in just a year or two, when you grow up and marry a wife and start a family, Erniang won't be able to intervene."

The fourth elder brother dislikes that his mother is not like an adult, but the words are still intimate, he wants to pinch Er Niang's legs, Lan Qi played tricks and said: "In the future, you are not allowed to pinch Yu Xi's legs, Er Niang will be jealous." I thought It was a joke, but when I looked up and saw my son was suddenly upset, I couldn't help worrying, and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Er Niang won't trouble you anymore, let's talk for a while."

Yinzhen sat beside his mother, lowered his head and said, "I didn't do anything for Erniang about what happened yesterday."

Lan Qi smiled and said: "Silly boy, it's the happiest thing for Erniang that you are fine."

Yinzhen shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "Emiang, you want me to restrain my light, and not to fight for the first name among my brothers, but what happened yesterday, both the eldest brother and the third brother were praised by Huang Ama." , do you know that the precious sword that Huang Ama bestowed on the third elder brother is very precious, and I want it very much, but I didn't do anything, how could Huang Ama reward me, he scolded me yesterday."

"Isn't it normal to not be rewarded for meritorious deeds?" Lan Qi understood her son's mind and patiently enlightened her, "This is not inconsistent with what Er Niang said to you. My mother is also grateful to him, but it doesn't mean you are useless. You have a competitive nature, and of course you will feel uncomfortable when you see them being praised. Er Niang understands you. But you told Er Niang, fight for Huang Ama Who is more powerful, the generals on the battlefield, or those civil servants who go to court with your emperor Ama every day to discuss state affairs and the common people's lives?"

Yinzhen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No comparison."

Lan Qi said: "You understand that there is no comparison, why are you still unhappy? Do you really want that knife?"

The fourth elder brother stared at his mother, the ambition in his heart was slightly ignited, he calmed down, shook his head: "It's just a knife." He repeated to his mother what he said to Xiao Hezi yesterday: "Emiang, those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard As for people, I understand that even if you lead troops to fight, it’s not just about strength.”

Lan Qi said comfortingly: "My son is the smartest, you can figure it out yourself." But after the smile, her expression turned serious, and she said to Yinzhen, "Emiang has something to discuss with you, if you refuse, Er Niang doesn't make things difficult for you, but that is the common wish of your empress Er Niang and Er Niang, and it would be great if it can be realized as soon as possible."
