Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2450 Seven Volumes 154

But until now, Wanxi still doesn't know what the emperor has done to Concubine Xin.

Although she believed in the emperor, but at this time, Wanxi was still a little anxious.

But worry is nothing to worry about, there are still too many happy things in this new year, so let's call this worry, it's not that important.

—For example, Lawang finally came back to the palace.

Because the fourth brother of Lawang and the son of Prince Chaoyong, Zhan Chubudorji, passed away, the emperor ordered Baoning, the third-class official and guard of the Qianqing Gate, to lay a drink. Since Yi, Lawang should be accompanied by the mansion anyway, so it is not appropriate to return to the palace immediately with filial piety.

After finishing the funeral at Prince Chaoyong's mansion and untiing Rexiao, Lawang returned to the palace.

There is no need for Wanxi to make a fuss, Concubine Yu has already made all the preparations; Concubine Wan is more than happy to join in, so the two of them work together to make thorough preparations for Lawang's cleansing.

On the day Lawang returned to the palace, he first went to Nala's Palace to salute.Wanxi and Concubine Yu couldn't wait, so they all went to Yikun Palace to wait.

Because it was winter, even the latticed windows had glass, but they were frozen solid by the frost, so it was impossible to see out of the window at a glance, Wanxi and Concubine Yu couldn't care less about themselves It's a noble concubine, and the other is a concubine, so they all left their seats and ran directly to the door to wait.

From a distance, from the outside to the inside, the eunuchs of Yikun Palace clapped their hands to convey the news.This slap is a warning, the person who is coming at this time is already approaching.

——Finally, a corner of the robe flashed by the palace gate, it was the figure of the guiding eunuch of the palace supervisor.

Wanxi and Concubine Yu were so nervous that they held hands together, but they both looked at each other and smiled - this is a happy reunion, but why be so nervous?

Finally, after the guiding eunuch's figure flashed past, a young figure wearing the duke's crown uniform and flower feather appeared behind him.

Such a young child who has the rank of duke early and wears a flower feather is the entire Qing Dynasty, and there is no second one to go at this time!Then Lawang came back...

Wanxi's eyes were hot, but the tip of her nose was sour, and her throat was slightly sluggish.

Although it was not born by herself, it was also her child.

Wanxi wanted to see the child clearly at this moment, but because of the distance and the rules in the empress's main palace, she couldn't do it immediately.They can only wait, waiting with anticipation.

I don't know if it's the distance, or the winter's cold air floating under the sunshine, Wanxi only feels that the light and shadow at the palace gate is a little blurry, as if the rice paper has a rough edge, wrapping Lawang's figure.In this shadowy area, even the child's figure seemed to be floating and ethereal, just like an ink shadow rendered with a brush on the declaration.

Although he couldn't see the child's eyebrows and eyes clearly for a while, he could tell at a glance that the child's stature had grown taller.The ten-year-old boy came from afar, with a slender figure and a heroic gait, and he already had the outline of a young man.

Wanxi was both proud and inexplicably sad.

It's a good thing for a child to grow up, but with a mother's heart, she can't help but start worrying about him. The wind and rain, black and white, good and evil in the adult world he is about to face are gone.
.
When Lawang entered the second gate, he saw Wanxi and Concubine Yu from a distance.

Pulling up his robe, Lawang hurried up the doorstep in three steps at a time, intending to salute Wanxi and Concubine Yu.

Wanxi hurried forward, stopped Lawang, and whispered in his ear, "...Silly boy, is there a rule to salute us before saluting the empress? Hurry up and pay your respects to the queen, there is no need for these rules between us."

Concubine Yu also nodded at the side.

With a twinkle in Lawang's starry eyes, he also understood, and took advantage of the momentum to gently rub his head at the height of Wanxi's waist. In fact, he had already finished the most intimate "meeting ceremony" between the juniors and the elders. go.Wanxi understood, and stroked Lawang's back with her palm, which was the elder's return gift.

Lawang was so happy that his eyes lit up even more, and then he got up and went to Nala's palace.

Lawang went in to say hello, but Wanxi took Concubine Yu and waited outside the door for the time being.

Wanxi couldn't help smiling and whispering softly to Concubine Yu, "...We were by our side when we were young, but we didn't pay attention. We haven't seen each other for a few months, and I feel like I've become a little grown-up .”

Concubine Yu also nodded, "The family just had a funeral, and his brother of the same generation passed away. He witnessed it with his own eyes and personally helped Prince Cheng Gunzabu with his work. This is the best way for a boy to grow up quickly. went."

Wanxi nodded, "Prince Chaoyong passed away, so Lawang naturally has to shoulder more filial piety for his brother."

Concubine Yu was relieved, "This child has been a sincere and honest child since he was a child. Not only will he be filial to his father, he will also be filial to the noble concubine and you."

Wanxi held Concubine Yu's hand, "It's all because of your good teaching, and it's also the loyalty and generosity that flowed through both of you and the blood of Genghis Khan."

The two were so focused on their conversation that they didn't notice that the emperor had already walked down the steps.

The emperor raised his eyes with a smile, "What are you talking about, so affectionate?"

Both Wanxi and Concubine Yu were taken aback, and quickly squatted down to salute.

Standing up, Wanxi smiled and said, "Everyone is talking about Lawang. I haven't seen him for a few months, and he looks like an older child."

The emperor also nodded, "That's right, I couldn't wait to see him, so I followed him."

Wanxi was surprised, "The emperor didn't see that child?"

This is unreasonable. It is said that when Lawang came to the palace, he had to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet the emperor first, and then he could enter the inner court and the Queen's Palace to salute.

The emperor also smiled, staring at Wanxi, "You guessed it right, he was supposed to follow Cheng Gong Zhabu to advance to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet me. I watched Chubudorji's death for the sake of my son, so I couldn't avoid it." I wanted to comfort Cheng Gun Zhabu, but the child couldn't wait any longer, so Cheng Gun Zhabu saluted on his behalf, but he himself was anxious to come to the harem first."

Wanxi understood in her heart, but she still scolded softly, "This child broke the rules. So did Prince Chaoyong. How dare you let the child go without authorization? This is the palace, so how could it be this child?" If you don’t want to be polite, you can find someone to replace it, and then you ran to the inner court by yourself?”

Seeing Wanxi so vivid, the emperor hugged his arms and snorted, and deliberately looked at Concubine Yu, "That's all. I'm not looking at you, I have to look at Concubine Yu too, right?"

Only then did Wanxi let out a relieved laugh, "The emperor is right, just because of Concubine Yu's face, naturally he won't care about this ten-year-old child."

The emperor snorted again helplessly: "If I care about it, can I still follow here just to see him earlier?"
.
At any rate, after waiting for Lawang to come out, Nalashi personally delivered it to the door because the emperor was there.

Wanxi and Concubine Yu bowed to Nala and bid farewell, and the emperor wanted to go together, Nala's eyes could not help showing some reluctance to come.

The emperor saw it, so he was not in a hurry to get on the sedan chair, but reached out and patted Nala's shoulder lightly, "Concubine Xin's fetus has always been taken care of by the empress herself, I only vaguely remember that she will be a baby until this month. It's time to report to Tiantan, Grandma Shouyue, and Doctor Shouyue. But I can't remember exactly what day it should be."

"Since the queen has taken care of her for several months, she must remember."

The emperor turned the topic back to Concubine Xin, and Nalashi couldn't care less about Lawang, so he couldn't help but sneered, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will remember it naturally. I should add it when the time comes." Tan Li, Grandma Shouyue and Doctor Shouyue, so she can't be short."

The emperor nodded with a smile, and patted Nala's hand, "Concubine Xin has finally had another child, and she is the only one in the harem this year who is happy. I care about her child very much. The queen must take good care of her mother and child." Go, don't make any mistakes."

Nala smiled and raised her eyes, "Mother and son? Could it be that the emperor has already detected Concubine Xin's happy pulse, and is sure that Concubine Xin is pregnant with the prince this time?"

The emperor seemed taken aback, and hurriedly retracted his words, "No, I didn't say that. The so-called 'mother and child' is just a general term. Whether it is a prince or a princess can only be determined at the time of childbirth."
.
Wanxi was sitting in the warm sedan chair, although she didn't see the exchange of expressions between the emperor and the queen with her own eyes, she vaguely heard all these words through the sedan chair.

After returning to the Chuxiu Palace to get off the sedan chair, Wanxi had the opportunity to ask softly, "...I'm about to give birth, what kind of riddle is the master playing, can't I solve one or two?"

The emperor snorted and slapped Wanxi's hand away.

"I've told you everything, what to do if you know that! You can just take care of the two children, Xiaoqi and Lawang, and I don't want you to be distracted."

Wanxi bit her lips lightly, "...Why didn't you tell me a thing or two? You know very well, but I really can't let go of this matter in my heart."

The emperor gave Wanxi a helpless look, "Scheming people has always been a dirty thing. I still don't want you to know about these things."

Wanxi thought for a while, and understood the emperor's intentions, so she could only sigh, but she smiled sweetly in the blink of an eye, "Okay, then the servant will not ask. After all, I have been waiting for seven months." Well, the slave is not too far behind for the last three months. After all, after three months, all the answers will naturally come to fruition."

Lawang, who was sitting in a sedan chair with Concubine Yu, got off the sedan chair and formally went to bow in front of the emperor.

The emperor's expression was exactly the same as that of Wan Xi's, with his eyes widened and surprises appearing in his eyes.

"My boy, I haven't seen you in a few months, but you have sneaked up so much! You are a good person. This winter, you are going back and forth between the capital and Khalkha. The desert is extremely cold, but you are all Hold on, this will exercise your manliness!"

Khalkha Mongolia is located in the far north of the desert.Lawang left in September, and it was snowing in the northern desert at that time.Not to mention the northern desert and the white-haired wind blowing on the grasslands... those are the most testing and tempering boys' minds.What's more, when Lawang went back this time, he experienced the death of his brother.

While joking, Xin'er had already been sent to the palace.Yurui came out to pick him up with a group of people from the palace.

The emperor and Wanxi could see that Lawang's heart had already flown, so they laughed and let him go.

Lawang ran in as soon as he slipped away.

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and the two looked at each other, and they both smiled knowingly.
.
The three girls Xiaoqi, Mianjin and Jiujiu were together, and Lawang rushed in, but he didn't dare to make a fuss, he just stood outside the threshold, and first asked Baiguo to pass on the news.

Bai Guo was originally the most useful woman by Wanbi's side, but Wanbi allocated Bai Guo to Xiao Qi. Whenever Xiao Qi went out, she had to ask Bai Guo to follow her personally, so that Wanbi could feel at ease.

Seeing Lawang like this, Bai Guo couldn't help laughing, "Wang Geer and Bao Geer are two sexes. When Bao Geer comes, he knows to go straight to the inside; Wang Geer is also anxious to run up. , but still so respectful.”

Lawang lowered his head lightly, and his voice tried to be calm, "...while I was away, the Qilin security guard came into the palace again to see Xiaoqi?"

Bai Guo nodded, "It wasn't just a few days ago, when the Empress Dowager Shengshou, Brother Bao followed Princess Jia into the palace to pay his respects. Because the four foreheads couldn't move, that's why I asked Brother Bao to come in Accompanying Princess Hejia."

There was a trace of worry in Lawang's eyes, but it finally melted into a peaceful smile.

"Then, Xiaoqi must be happy."

Bai Guo thought about it, then laughed, "The seventh princess is happy, but at the beginning she still got angry. The older the seventh princess grows, the more dignified she becomes, so she scolded Brother Bao for being unruly and almost I don’t want to see Brother Bao anymore.”

Lawang was a little dazed when he stood there, and after a long while, he finally showed childish joy, "...I knew she was like this."

A few children's lawsuits, Bai Guo has been on the sidelines all these years, so she can't understand it, so she sighed softly and said, "Brother Wang, wait a moment, I'll go in and make a report." One sound. After all, Princess Jiu and Jing Gege are accompanying our princess inside, so it’s best not to collide.”

But Lawang stretched out his hand to grab Bai Guo, "Auntie, please help me transfer these two items to Princess Jiu and Jin Gege."

Bai Guo took it and saw that it was only two small pouches, not too big, so I couldn't see what they were.

But Lawang smiled resolutely, "Auntie, just send it in, I thanked Auntie for this side."

Bai Guo hurriedly dodged to the side, avoiding Lawang's gift, and said with a soft smile, "Brother Lawang is serious, how dare the slave? The slave will send it in now, brother wait a moment."
.
Ginkgo entered, and the three little girls were still "attentively" learning female red embroidery.

Xiaoqi embroidered a pillow top, cotton brocade embroidered sleeves, and Jiujiu photo-dried shoe uppers.

Pillow tops, sleeve tops, and shoe uppers are all necessary embroidery items in the dowry of Manchu girls. Therefore, since girls can handle needlework, they must start to practice on these objects.

Xiaoqi has a demure temperament, Mianjin is even more silent and meticulous, and the two of them are about the same age, so they are more serious than embroidery.However, Jiujiu was still young, and he tried the hardest shoe upper, so he embroidered only one flower, and the thimble pierced through two first, and several needles broke.

Even Yurui couldn't help laughing when she came in to see it, and jokingly said, "...The Ninth Princess really deserves to be the daughter of your Ernie."

Xiaoqi doesn't look like Wanxi in Nuhong's place; on the contrary, she is Jiujiu, who is definitely picked out of the same mold.

Since the three little girls had needlework in their hands, they all knew who was coming outside, and they deliberately pretended not to know, and refused to take a distracted look.

Especially Xiaoqi... It's because she doesn't raise her head and eyes that Mianjin and Jiujiu both have to follow her and continue to work hard.

When Bai Guo saw this situation, she couldn't help secretly praising Brother Lawang's action just now - if it wasn't for the two small purses that Brother Lawang stuffed in, she wouldn't know what to do.

Bai Guo didn't make a sound, just stuffed the two small pouches into the hands of Jiujiu and Mianjin respectively.

Jiujiu couldn't help being curious, so he opened the purse first.Her nose is sharp, and she was the first to cheer, "The smell of the prairie! It's the honey of the prairie!"

Over there, Mianjin hurriedly opened her purse, and also became happy, "...Ping An buckle!"

Of the three little girls, two had "changed their ways". No matter how tense Xiao Qi tried to be, she couldn't continue to maintain her previous calm.

Xiao Qi felt a little annoyed, so she scolded her own sister first, "Look at you, you're talking nonsense again. It's already this month, where can there be honey?"

Jiujiu spread out the purse like offering a treasure, and said triumphantly, "My sister guessed wrong, it's actually not honey."

Xiao Qi couldn't help being curious, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and looked up - there was a chicken in the purse.If you look at it with your eyes, how can there be any honey?
Xiaoqi's cheeks flushed, and then she looked at Mianjin's purse again.

Xiao Qi couldn't help frowning, "Even if it's a Ping'an buckle, this jade is not a good one. You are the daughter of a county king, why haven't you seen such a rough jade, and you like it like this? "

Mian Jin tightly clasped the peace in her palm, but smiled and said nothing.

Xiaoqi was caught in a dilemma, and Qingzhi wanted to answer questions, so she had to invite Lawang in.

Xiao Qi's face turned completely red at the thought of seeing each other in front of her eyes.A heart, beating inexplicably into a mess.

At this moment, Wanxi and the emperor also walked in early, but they saw that it had been a long time, but Lawang hadn't entered the house yet, and was still standing at the door.

Wanxi laughed, "This silly boy, obviously running in a hurry, but why did he get to the door instead of going in?"

But Lawang replied seriously, "Because I have to wait for Xiaoqi's words. Even if I have already arrived, I can't make mistakes. Only when she allows me to enter, can I step into this threshold."

Xiaoqi had already heard the conversation between Erniang and Lawang in the room, so she couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly told Bai Guo, "Auntie, please call Lawang in quickly. And help me go back to Minghuang Ama and Erniang." , and when I'm done tidying up, I'll go over and pay my respects to Huang Ama."
.
Rawang was finally able to enter.

Jiujiu had already rushed over happily, wishing to hang it on Lawang's shoulders, it was extremely affectionate.

Mianjin also stood up and nodded to Lawang with a smile.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Qi, who seemed to be a little confused, and went to the beginning.

Jiujiu didn't care what happened to others, just hanging on Lawang's arm, and asked excitedly, "Brother Wangwang, did you stuff honey into the belly of the egg? Or it's just an egg, I heard It’s clearly the sweetness of the prairie?”

Lawang tilted his head to Jiujiu, and talked to Jiujiu, but his eyes still quietly stared at Xiao Qi, never leaving.

"...Because, it's 'honey-stuffed eggs'. Your sister is right. It's been this month, and there is no new honey. But there is honey saved in autumn, which is used to stuff eggs. Go. The egg has been brewed in honey for a long time, and the honey smell has gone into the egg. And the egg has two layers of shells inside and outside, which locks the honey smell inside. I have been walking this way for several months, and the journey is far away, but this honey-stuffed egg can still help me bring you back the sweetness of the prairie!"

Jiujiu immediately cheered, "Brother Wangwang is a great man!"

Mian Jin also stepped forward and said with a smile, "I heard that Jebtsundamba Hutuktu had another 'Hupilhan'. I heard that it was a child, but it was reincarnated. I can't help being curious..."

Lawang smiled and nodded, "Although this safety buckle is carved out of rough jade, it was personally blessed by Hupilhan of Yangjebtsundamba."

Mian Jin was overjoyed immediately, "Thank you!"

Seeing that both Jiujiu and Mianjin were subdued by Lawang so quickly, Xiao Qi felt ashamed, annoyed, happy, and indescribably melancholy... all these strange things were entwined together Son, tell her to beat the kang, "Hey, look at you two, how can you embroider flowers here?"

Jiujiu was young, so he made a mischievous face, "If you don't embroider, you won't embroider! Anyway, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to get married, so why rush to embroider the dowry?" Jiujiu looked at Xiao Qi with a naive look, " Sister, you are in a hurry to embroider because you want to get married soon, don't you?"

Xiaoqi got annoyed immediately, and got up to pinch Jiujiu's mouth.

Jiujiu yelled loudly, turned around and fled through the door.

Mian Jin took a look at the situation in front of her, then also pursed her lips and smiled and left.

There are only Xiaoqi and Lawang left in the hall.

Xiao Qi became anxious, her breath turned against her, and she coughed again.

Lawang was in a hurry, and hurried forward to help Xiaoqi pat his back.Xiao Qi dodges shyly, and Lawang is so anxious that he simply reaches out and grabs Xiao Qi's hand.

"Why are you bothering? What's the matter? Is it possible that you will forget me after walking for two months this time, so you don't want to see me anymore?" Lawang tried his best to speak gently, but in his voice It was still broken.

Xiao Qi's heart fluttered for a while, coughing rushed to his eyes, forcing his eyes to turn red.

"What are you talking about? How could I not recognize you? I just... just, I feel like you are a different person. "

Lawang became even more anxious, grabbed Xiao Qi's hand and asked Xiao Qi to watch him.

"Look, it's me, where did I change?"

Xiao Qi raised her eyes shyly, "...Look at you, why did you become so tall? I used to go up to your eyebrows, why did I go up to your chin in just two months?"

Lawang was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled.

Xiaoqi is a princess, so she doesn't know that the two months of traveling will make a boy grow up quickly.

He thought for a while, then suddenly turned his hand back, turned Xiao Qi's hand around, and pressed his palm on him.

(The marriage is imminent, first write a letter to the children. I will leave it to Concubine Xin to perform later~)
