The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 599
The day of Shen Ye's trip was set on the first day of May. He was ordered by the emperor to take off the service of the imperial guard and replace the official uniform, and said goodbye three times.

He thought that Wanyu would see him off before leaving, so he deliberately slowed down on the way out of the palace.

But when it comes, it is an empty hope.

He knew that it wasn't because Wanyu didn't want to, but because of the proximity to the hometown.

He tightly tied the package full of healing medicine on his back, as if endless courage spread out from the bottom of his heart, and he never looked back.

On this day, the emperor called Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang into the Qianqing Palace to discuss the war, and Tong Guowei's third son, Longkodo, accompanied him.

The four of them discussed in the hall for a long time, and after discussing the state affairs, they also mentioned the matter of Empress Xiaoyi's Feng'an. Ye Bilong knew that his subordinates were not allowed to attend the emperor's family affairs, so he resigned and left.

The emperor thought it was so easy for him to enter the palace once, so he didn't send him away, but promised to take a leisurely stroll in the imperial garden to enjoy the spring scenery, and then call someone to find him and go back with the two elders of the Tong family .

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, an important part of the imperial city, this imperial garden can be called a royal garden, and there are only a handful of courtiers who can get this honor to visit the imperial garden.Longkodo was overjoyed to receive such a reward suddenly, knelt down and kowtowed to thank the Holy Grace and walked away.

When he left the palace, he saw the fourth elder brother Yinzhen was kneeling respectfully outside the Qianqing Palace with a food box in his hand.

When he entered the palace when he was young, Yinzhen was still raised under Rong Yue's lap, and he had met him several times.

But at that time Yinzhen was still a four or five-year-old urchin, and now he has changed his appearance at the age of twelve, so Longkodo naturally doesn't know it.

He rubbed shoulders with Yinzhen, glanced at each other, nodded slightly as a gesture of goodwill, and then led by the inner eunuch to the imperial garden.

Spring is the time when the Royal Garden is full of flowers and fragrances. Although Longkodo came from a famous family, he has never seen such a magnificent scene.The west side of the Royal Garden alone is twice as spacious as his entire Tong Mansion, which dazzles him.

The inner eunuch introduced the landscape of the garden to Longkodo one by one, but at this time, a childish voice sounded behind him.

"uncle."

Looking back, Longkodo saw that it was Yinzhen who was pulling the hem of his court clothes, looking at him with innocent eyes: "Is it uncle?"

Looking at each other like this, Longkodo suddenly remembered who this person was.

He bent down, touched Yinzhen's newly sculpted forehead, solemnly nodded and said: "Si elder brother has grown up now, and is even more handsome. I have just looked at you for a long time, and I only feel that you have a good face, but I don't even recognize you. gone."

Yinzhen was a little ashamed, and said in a low voice, "But I know uncle."

Although he is not Rong Yue's parent-child, Longkodo knows that this child is the prince who raised Rong Yue's knees, and is the most caring person with Rong Yue.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yinzhen say aggrievedly: "Uncle, Erniang is gone. No one will love me anymore."

Seeing him holding back his tears, Long Keduo quickly persuaded him: "Silly boy, how can no one love you? You still have your Huang Ama and uncle, everyone loves you, don't be sad. You Er Niang is watching you from the sky, if she sees you like this, she will be sad."

Yinzhen nodded obediently, and Shui Ling's eyes were rippling on Longkodo's body: "Will uncle often enter the palace in the future? Uncle and Er Niang look alike, I feel at ease when I see uncle."

Longkodo said with a warm smile: "If uncle is free, how about going to the palace to see fourth elder brother?"

After the words fell, a woman's angry voice came from the forest not far away: "Who is this palace?"

Long Kedo followed the prestige, and saw that it was Lin Lan who was followed by a group of palace officials.

She frowned, first she glared at Yinzhen, and then her gaze stayed on Longkodo: "Longkodo, did I hear wrong? What did you call yourself in front of the fourth elder brother just now? Uncle? What kind of uncle are you? Since my family can't have children, they like to gossip about their relatives? Do you know that if the emperor listens to what you said just now, it will be enough to accuse you of treason!"

Long Ke was not afraid when he saw her look serious, he just cupped his hands and bowed in blessing and said: "I pay my respects to Empress Defei."

Lin Lan let out a muffled snort, glanced at Xiao Suzi, the inner eunuch behind Yinzhen who was serving her closely, and suddenly became ruthless.

Xiao Suzi sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly hugged Yinzhen to avoid it, staying away from Longke.

Yinzhen was struggling in Xiao Suzi's arms, Feiyan hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Yinzhen's delicate arm, and said in a low voice: "Si elder brother, don't make trouble, be careful that your mother-in-law is angry."

Yinzhen stiffened his neck and shouted at Feiyan: "She is not my mother! My mother is already dead!"

These words pierced Linlan's heart like a knife's edge, and made Xiao Suzi and Feiyan turn pale with fright.

The two of them hastily covered Yinzhen's mouth, for fear that he would say something outrageous again.

Linlan endured her grievances, and still looked at Longkodo sternly: "I tell you, Yinzhen is the child of the Aixinjueluo family and the Wuya family, and has no connection with your Tong family. If your elder sister goes Instead, I have entrusted that foolish nature to you, and I will inform the emperor that you will not be allowed to enter the palace."

Longkodo looked at Linlan with a smile, with contempt on the corners of his eyes and brows: "Ms. Defei knows that the fourth elder brother is the child of Aixinjueluo and Wuya, so she probably remembers her parentage. You used to be in Xinzhekuao It's been hard work, and it's the honor and blessing of the Wuya clan to be the fourth concubine Zhenzhen'er now. My humble minister."

What he said inside and outside the meaning were all mocking Lin Lan, but how could Lin Lan be such a bullying master?

Her sharp mouth is well known in the harem, and before Longko could say anything more, she interrupted with a sneer: "What did you call yourself just now? But I got it wrong?" She looked back and stood up. The maidservant asked, "Did you hear clearly?"

The servant girl Nuosheng replied: "Master Long Kedo calls himself a humble minister."

Lin Lan suddenly covered her mouth and smiled brightly: "What are you thinking about, my lord? The Tong family was carried into the Manchu army flag, and since then they are no longer Han people, but have to follow our Manchurian rules. Only the courtiers of the Han army flag can call themselves Weichen , we all have to call ourselves slaves in the Manchurian flag. Just listen to what you called me just now, but don’t fall into the ears of the emperor. lest the emperor think that you don’t like the status of the Manchus now, so you can’t help it. I want to go back to being a Han Chinese."

Longkodo knew that he had committed a taboo, and it was hard to distinguish with so many pairs of eyes.

Long ago, Rong Yue heard that the concubine De in the harem was the most difficult master, so she had to frown and change her words for fear that he would tell the emperor about it: "Slave. Slave made a mistake."

Lin Lan let out a full face and let out a 'hmm': "Come on, the emperor finally gave you a tour of the garden. I have been gossiping with you for a long time, which is wasting your good time. Your Excellency, please go."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Suzi and called out, "Little Suzi."

Little Suzi nodded, bowed and replied, "The servant is here."

Lin Lan smiled sweetly, and waved her hand to go: "Take the fourth elder brother and Bengong back to the palace and sit down, don't disturb Master Tong."

Little Suzi said that the slave obeyed the order, half reluctantly entrusting Yinzhen to go with Linlan.

Long Ke Duofang claimed to be a slave, and when he heard the eunuchs screaming one by one, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and clenched his hands into fists as if he had suffered a great humiliation.He looked at Lin Lan's graceful leaving back with fierce eyes, wishing he could swallow her alive.

It was still Eunuch Li Jian who was in front of the imperial court who came to call him, and only when he finished discussing the matter in the Qing palace and the emperor called him back, did he temporarily stop his anger.
