Tianhuang nobleman

"The weather is getting colder. If you don't go out of the palace to see the concubine, you should go out less. If you want to summon anyone, you can meet them in the side hall. Don't be afraid of the officials talking." Qi Xiao adjusted his dragon robe and was still wearing a small Bai Ren, who was sitting on the bed, told in a low voice, "The people from Qin Tianjian said that there will be snow in the next two days, if you want to step on the snow, you can play in the palace, don't go out."

Before dawn, Bai Ren was very sleepy, yawned and said in a low voice: "I agreed to take Yu'er to see the concubine today... Maybe it won't snow today?"

Qi Yu, that is, the fatherless great-grandson of the old Prince Chun, is now brought into the palace.

"It's hard to say... Let Jiang Deqing go back with you, and tell him to go down. When he goes out, he should bring a few iron chains. When he really gets off, remember to tie a few on the wheels." Qi Xiao raised his hand and rubbed Bai Ren's head. Put, "I just went back the day before yesterday, so I don't need to stay longer today, I'll be back at lunch time, remember?"

Bai Ren chuckled lightly: "I didn't even let me eat when I went back. I came back for lunch...can the emperor prepare something good for me?"

"Burning deer tendons." Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile, "If you don't dare to come back for lunch, I'll give you bran for dinner..."

The palace people outside were already urging, Qi Xiao leaned down and kissed Bai Ren on the lips, turned around and left.

"Hey... It's only been a month since I saw him, and this child has grown a lot." After wandering in the carriage all the way, Qi Yu was already fast asleep, her little face was flushed, and she was very cute, Lingnan Taifei He took the child from the nanny's arms, kissed him and said happily, "After all, it is the water in the palace that nourishes the people, look at this little face with a watery face..."

Concubine Lingnan turned her head to look at Bai Ren, frowned slightly and said: "It's you... I just wanted to say, why do you look thinner?"

Bai Ren smiled reassuringly: "There are a lot of things to do during the New Year, but fortunately, I'm done with my work. During the Chinese New Year, I will eat more and have a good rest, and then I will be back."

"Don't worry, the concubine." Jiang Deqing smiled and comforted, "The prince has become a little thinner these days, and the emperor is the first to worry. First, he asked several old imperial doctors to check the pulse repeatedly. The people in the room, let them cook meals for the prince in different ways, the prince's spirit has improved a lot in the past two days, and he will be able to recover after a while."

Concubine Lingnan's heart sank when she heard the words, and then she relieved herself, that's all, at least that one treats her son sincerely... The concubine smiled: "With the emperor taking care of me, I am naturally relieved. Those who were so skinny when they came back from Lingnan have been raised, let alone this..."

Although Bairen and Concubine Lingnan have a tacit understanding, they still feel a little awkward whenever Qi Xiao is mentioned. Concubine Lingnan changed the subject and said, "That aunt Yu'er hasn't made a fuss anymore? Didn't she bother you?"

When Qi Xiao ordered to go down and carry Qi Yu into the palace, the second grandma of the third room of Prince Chun's Mansion was still happy for a while, thinking that she had finally got rid of this trouble and could monopolize the property of the big house. She also pretended to wipe a few tears in front of Old Concubine Chun, saying that after all, she had raised her for the past few months and was very reluctant to part with it. Old Concubine Chun immediately asked indifferently: "If you are reluctant, you can exchange Ji'er for Yu'er." go."

Ji'er is the second grandma's legitimate son, so she was naturally unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "The granddaughter-in-law is confused, the emperor wants this child to be his creation, even if the granddaughter-in-law is reluctant to part with it, she will still send it, Ji'er... no Yu'er is such a blessing."

The old concubine Chun raised her eyelids, glanced at her and didn't speak again. Who knew that Qi Xiao wanted to adopt Qi Yu to her knee not long after she was sent to the palace, and Qi Yu's aunt regretted it. In a hurry, he ran to the old concubine Chun again, crying and begging, and only said that he couldn't think of it for half a month after sending the child, so he begged the old concubine to go into the palace to bring the child back. She didn't say a word, but just looked at her fixedly. She made the old concubine's heart shudder, and whispered: "Didn't the concubine say it before... You can exchange Yu'er for Yu'er, anyway. It’s only been sent in for a few days, how about...it’s really returned, anyway, the two children are not a few months apart, aren’t they all the same?”

The old concubine Chun sneered, neither saying yes nor no, Youyou talked about the past: "Three years ago, the third daughter-in-law took a fancy to you and said that you are smart and capable, and you will be able to establish a family in the future. I didn't want to, But there is a generation in the middle, thinking that it has to be decided by other people's parents, I don't have much to say, so what if I really marry you in? There are some smart and capable people, but in the future, you will be the one who will establish a family... Hmph... ..."

The old concubine Chun helped her nanny to stand up, and said calmly: "The emperor didn't say anything, you just got so anxious after hearing some rumors, the eyelids in the palace of my family who are full of the imperial city are so shallow, and you are still like this." It's hard to find the ones who can't hold their breath..."

Qi Yu's aunt blushed when Old Dowager Chun said it, and wished she could find a place to get in. Old Dowager Chun was usually the most kind person, but today she decided to give Qi Yu's aunt a shame, He continued to sneer: "What are you doing in such a hurry? If it's not a good place to go, come back and change it?"

Qi Yu's aunt couldn't stop sobbing, she knelt down and cried, "Daughter-in-law is just because she can't bear to..."

"Quickly put away your tricks!" The old concubine Chun was very upset, and said sharply, "You think the emperor must be Yu'er? There are too many children in the clan! But why did you choose Yu'er? You Don't even use your brain to think about it, if you talk empty teeth, you dare to change, what's wrong with your kid being better than others?! Don't make people feel ashamed!"

Old Concubine Chun knew that her body would not be able to last for a few years, so she simply made it clear: "I might as well tell you today, I told the King of Lingnan before that sending this child into the palace was not for the health of the prince. , but I think this child is really lonely and entrusted to the lord! In the future, the lord will tell Yu'er like this, if you are honest, the lord will not pay attention to you because you are Qi Yu's aunt. If you still want to make trouble... Hehe, when Yu'er grows up, the lord tells him how you ignored him when he was young and almost killed him, and see what Yu'er will do!"

Qi Yu's aunt immediately softened her legs in fright. If the rumors are correct, then Qi Yu will be... Aunt Qi Yu was frightened, and Nuonuo said: "Granddaughter... just joking, never... never dare Let's talk about it again..."

The old concubine Chun sneered twice: "This is the best, and everyone knows what kind of temperament the emperor is. In the future, except for me, no one else in this house will have to see Brother Yu again. Anyway, no one of you has treated this child before. Seriously, you don't need to suddenly know that you love him one by one now, and try to use the head to look at him, it will be of no benefit, but you will violate the emperor's taboo and bring disaster to your family!"

Aunt Qi Yu's face turned purple, she could only nod...

"For the old concubine to have such an outburst, the second grandma of the Chun Palace has calmed down a lot." Jiang Deqing imitated the old concubine Chun's majestic appearance so vividly that the Lingnan concubine couldn't help laughing, "The concubine can only rest assured. That's all right, the old concubine Chun also called the third master of their mansion, and strictly ordered him to take care of his daughter-in-law and not allow her to make trouble again. If there is another word that is not good, she will just divorce. The second grandma heard this. I don’t even dare to breathe.”

Concubine Lingnan shook her head and smiled: "It's also karma... Well, I was worried about this before, so I can feel relieved, the old concubine understands... By the way, can you prepare lunch? Tell them to do more Order what the prince likes to eat."

Thinking about Qi Xiao's order before, Bai Ren hurriedly said: "No, there are still many Lingnan documents piled up in the palace."

Concubine Lingnan frowned and smiled: "Is this meal missing?"

Bai Ren smiled wryly, his mind was not so empty, but if he hadn't gone back as the man said, he wouldn't be able to let himself eat bran for dinner, but it would be hard to say what happened after dinner... Bai Ren Ren has lost weight recently. Although Qi Xiao didn't say anything, he was very upset. He had to watch Bai Ren eat every meal. Bai Ren understood Qi Xiao's love for him and didn't want to disturb him. When resigning, Nurse Yan came in outside, smiled and said: "The concubine is reluctant to part with the lord, but she also takes business as the most important thing, and ah...the princess and the young lady come back in the future, why don't the concubine let the lord come back that day?" Come back for dinner?"

Nurse Yan joked: "My lord relieved us of the job of the cook today, so I would be embarrassed not to come when I think about it."

Bai Ren immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely come in the future."

Concubine Lingnan couldn't help it, so she waved her hands and said: "Forget it, I can't talk to you, the nanny wrapped the baby well...be careful not to blow the wind..."

After sending Bairen and his party out, Princess Lingnan turned her head to Sister Yan and said with a smile: "You tell him everything, I just want to keep the prince for more meals, and also to hold the child for a while, you are so talkative Li Suo, it’s fine if you don’t help me persuade him, but instead, he acts as a lobbyist for him.”

Sister Yan gave a wry smile: "The concubine really wronged the servant, and the servant doesn't want to see the young master for a while, it's just..."

Sister Yan lowered her voice and said, "Second aunt is here again!"

Concubine Lingnan was dumbfounded: "She...why did she come here?"

A flash of disgust flashed in Yan Momo's eyes: "Second aunt knew that the prince was coming back today, so she came to block the door! Just now, my servant asked her to come in and sit in front, but she refused and insisted on breaking in! The princess ignored her, and every time the servants came here, they would stop her from seeing you, so she came up with this idea and wanted to start with the prince, bah! The slaves were afraid that if they stayed with the prince for a while, she would break in , so I simply advised you to let the prince go."

Concubine Lingnan smiled wryly: "She won't do this if nothing happens, so what's wrong with her...?"
