The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 411
"Look at this servant girl, Madam is indeed looking a little older." After the Guerjia family left, Huan Pei felt boundless emotion.

People in their early fifties are already grandmothers.There are more and more wrinkles under the eyes, which naturally makes her look older.

"Fortunately, both elder brother and younger brother are promising, and Er Niang has worked so hard all her life, so she can enjoy it in her later years and take a rest." Lan Xin was quite sad, she just felt that she couldn't always be happy and support her My mother will share some.

"The two young masters are both promising, young master, you can rest assured." Huan Pei said: "That day, the servant also visited the third young master in the south study. The third young master is now tall and mighty, and can support the lintel of the door. .”

Thinking of that kid, Lan Xin smiled.

In the past, she only knew that Yi Shentai was a mischievous one, but she never thought that at a critical moment, as an older sister, she could still rely on her younger brother.

That day, it was really thanks to him that I passed it safely.

The time to rest in the first month really passed too quickly for fourth master.Seeing that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was coming, fourth master simply issued an order to punish that nonsense Qin Tianjian.

Accepting bribes and slandering noble concubines is really a felony.

But the fourth master punished him with small punishments, and in the end he only sentenced Qin Tianjian to exile Ningguta.

Ning Guta's life was difficult, but he was able to barely save his life.For the Qin Tianjian who made a mistake and spent a month in prison, it was considered extraordinarily lucky.

And the trusted Qin Tianjian was the former deputy supervisor.Fourth Master had heard about that man, and knew that he was an upright and loyal minister.This time the position of supervisor was vacant, so he was simply allowed to take the top spot.

After the beginning of the new year, the old troubles disappeared, but new troubles appeared in front of Fourth Master.

draft.

The draft, which was originally held every three years, should have been selected as early as the first year of Yongzheng.It's just that the fourth master said that Lord Kangxi had just passed away, so it's not suitable for drafting.

In the second year of Yongzheng, Concubine De died, and the fourth master postponed the draft again.

In the third year of Yongzheng, the death of Imperial Concubine Dunsu made Fourth Master no longer want to mention this matter.

And this year... the ministers once again had a new rhetoric.

The queen has a headache and cannot always serve the fourth master.Even Lan Xin, who used to serve fourth master, is now pregnant, so she can't serve fourth master.

The rest, such as Concubine Yu and Concubine Mao, are not of high status, and they are already old, and they are even more unsuitable to serve the fourth master.

Those who came later were of mediocre background, so the courtiers didn't mention it.

Moreover, fourth master has no grown-up princes under his knees, there are only five elder brothers, and there are only two princesses.

If it was placed in the previous reign of Lord Kangxi, the number of heirs would be far, far, far greater than that of Fourth Lord.

Facing the proposals from the ministers, the fourth master only said: "Whether the draft is selected or not is just my family's business, a matter in the harem! You are all eagerly looking forward to my harem, what is your intention?"

As soon as these words came out, the mouths of the courtiers were barely blocked.

It's just that they are not reconciled.Their own family has a daughter of the right age who can be placed in the palace.As long as their daughter enters the palace, their family and their own official positions will be more secure.

So for those ministers, they actually hoped for the draft.

Speaking of fourth master's backyard, since Nian's family entered the mansion, it has indeed been a long time since new people were added.

Thinking of this, fourth master couldn't help frowning.

What kind of reason should be used to block the mouths of those ministers?

After much deliberation, Fourth Master decided to go to Yongshou Palace and ask Lan Xin for her opinion.

On the way to Yongshou Palace, when fourth master was sitting in the sedan chair, he suddenly felt a little strange.As an emperor, he even went to ask a concubine in the draft?
As a proud and arrogant person like fourth master, he really didn't want to admit the fact that he seemed to be a little afraid of guilt.

But Fourth Master changed his mind: Lan Xin is still pregnant.Anyway, it's time to discuss it with her, right?

In this way, fourth master barely convinced himself.

In Yongshou Palace, Lan Xin felt very sleepy, she dozed off while leaning on the imperial concubine chair.Huan Pei was guarding in the room, seeing the situation, she decided to get a blanket to cover Lan Xin.

As a result, he had just taken two steps when he saw someone coming in at the door like a gust of wind.

Huan Pei frowned, and before she could see who it was, she thought: Who came in in such a hurry?After the cold air, what should the little master do?

As a result, this thought passed in a flash, and when he just raised his head to take a closer look, he realized that the person who came in turned out to be fourth master.

"Emperor... Your Majesty." Huan Pei lowered her voice and said, "My lord just fell asleep."

Fourth Master paused for a moment before realizing something.

"Well, let's cover Lan Xin with that quilt." I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience or what, because fourth master has something on his mind right now, looking at Lan Xin always feels a little guilty.

But Huan Pei didn't notice it, she just thought it was fourth master who cared about his young master.

Because Lan Xin is pregnant, she sleeps more.Right now, she fell asleep for a while, and the fourth master had just covered Lan Xin with the quilt, and Lan Xin had already woken up.

"Huan Pei, pour me a cup of tea." Lan Xin woke up feeling thirsty, and just as soon as she made a sound, she saw that it was the fourth master standing not far away.

"You know you're pregnant, why do you still drink tea?" Fourth Master stared at Lan Xin and said with a straight face: "Be careful in the future. When I'm not around, no one will supervise you."

Pregnant women should not drink tea.

Lan Xin murmured: "The tea leaves that the fourth master sent are rare and good teas. I can't drink them when I'm pregnant. If I put them there, it will become old tea."

New tea is much better than old tea.

"Well..." Fourth Master said seriously: "If you think the old tea is not good, then give back all the tea to me. Hongli and the others are still young, so they shouldn't drink too much tea."

!

"The fourth master still wants to take back the things you sent out?" Lan Xin was very reluctant, and said, "I don't agree."

"Okay." Fourth master compromised.Facing Lan Xin, he is such an unprincipled person.

Lan Xin sat up straight, looked at her still very flat stomach, and asked Fourth Master, "Why is Fourth Master free today?"

"The former court was clamoring for the draft, I came here to ask you what you mean." The fourth master cut to the chase, not wanting to hide anything from Lan Xin.

As a result, when Lan Xin heard this, the sweet smile on her face suddenly froze.

The draft, Lan Xin actually knew that it was time for the draft.It's just that fourth master has been looking for excuses to hold him back, so the trip didn't take place.Right now, I'm afraid I can't avoid it no matter what?
"Si Ye wants to choose a newcomer?" Lan Xin raised her eyebrows and looked at Si Ye provocatively.

Fourth Master shook his head and replied, "I don't want to. I have you, this life is enough."
