The emperor was very happy at first, but the queen made a small complaint, which wiped out his good mood.

Back at Qianqing Palace, the emperor sent someone to investigate the matter of the fourth elder brother.It is impossible for the queen to lie about this matter, but the emperor is still cautious.

The matter of the fourth elder brother is easy to check, there are many people in the palace, and there is always no shortage of caring people, Tong Fei's little tricks can't hide everyone's eyes.

After finding out the truth, the emperor took time out to go to Concubine Tong's palace.

Concubine Tong was very happy to see the emperor coming, there are so many women in the palace, there are old qualifications like queen and concubine Xian, there are concubines Hui and concubine Rong who have more children, and there are new favorites like concubine Yi and Wu Yashi .Concubine Tong is favored, but she can only see the emperor five or six times a month, how can she not be happy when the emperor comes!

"Cousin, this is the white silver needle you gave me. I heard from the imperial doctor that drinking this tea can invigorate the stomach and refresh the mind. Please try it quickly and see if my tea-making skills have improved."

Concubine Tong has always called the emperor her cousin in private, which is more intimate, as if she is special in the emperor's heart.

The emperor asked Concubine Tong to sit down and sent the servants out.

He asked bluntly: "Every time I come here, you don't allow Brother Si to eat enough, do you?"

Concubine Tong's face turned pale immediately, she was already very careful, why did the emperor still know?

Her mind turned sharply, thinking about how to answer.The emperor can come over and ask her directly, so it can be seen that the investigation has been clear, denying it is useless, and it will give the emperor a bad impression.

Concubine Tong quickly knelt down, and she said apologetically: "The concubine is guilty, please punish me! But please listen to my concubine!"

The emperor: "You say."

"The fourth elder brother was born thin and thin since he was a child. He is not as round and cute as the third elder brother, and he is not as cute as the younger elder brother. He is born with a stubborn temper and doesn't like to laugh. How can he be liked by the emperor with his appearance?"

The emperor helplessly supported his forehead, "He is my son, how could I not like him?"

The concubines in the palace are all good at acting, and Concubine Tong cried whenever she said she wanted to cry. Crystal tears dripped down her pale cheeks, making her look fragile and lovable.

"The emperor is a good Ama, but the concubine always wants to get more attention for the fourth elder brother."

The emperor only felt a headache. Although Concubine Tong was wrong, she was also kind.The fourth elder brother is not her own. She thinks that it is better to help the fourth elder brother to win favor than to ignore the fourth elder brother.

"Forget it, get up! I'm talking to you about this in private, so I don't mean to punish you. The fourth elder brother is not yet two years old, don't starve him, children have weak stomachs, and if they are hungry and full, they will be the root cause of the disease in the future." It's not easy to take care of."

Concubine Tong quickly expressed her opinion, "The concubine already knew she was wrong, so I dare not do this again."

The emperor sighed softly, not wanting to be harsh, "I'm going back, you should rest early!"

Concubine Tong knelt and respectfully sent the emperor away, and when the emperor left, her personal maids and mothers came in to serve him.

The maid asked: "Your Majesty, why did the Emperor leave when he first arrived?"

The people in the room were all confidantes, and Concubine Tong told the truth, "The emperor found out that I was starving fourth elder brother, so he came to question me."

The palace maid panicked all of a sudden, "What should I do? Your empress won't...won't fall out of favor?"

Mammy reprimanded: "Little hooves, don't talk nonsense!"

Mammy comforted Concubine Tong, "Don't worry, Madam, the emperor quietly told you that he didn't want to pursue the matter. The slave will just take good care of the fourth elder brother in the future. There is nothing wrong with this matter."

Concubine Tong shed tears as she leaned on the couch, "I know that I will not fall out of favor, but before, I was a simple-minded little cousin in the emperor's heart. What about in the future? From now on, I will be a scheming concubine in the emperor's heart!"

The nanny comforted: "Mother, it's not the time to be sad now, it's better for you to give birth to the prince as soon as possible. The slave said something harsh, you are young and beautiful, so naturally you depend on the emperor, and when you grow old, you still have to rely on your son."

Concubine Tong said impatiently: "Got it!"

Concubine Tong thought, is it because I don't want to have a baby?This is not born out of it!

Seeing Concubine Tong's displeasure, the maid quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother didn't suffer from hunger a few times. Who stabbed the emperor in front of this matter? This person is too bad!"

Concubine Tong hated it too!Which woman in the palace doesn't have the means to compete for favor?Concubine Rong often used the third elder brother's illness as an excuse to hook up with the emperor to go to her place!

Momo thought it was Wu Ya who did it, "The emperor intends to give her a promotion, and she wants to take the fourth elder brother back?"

Concubine Tong didn't feel like it, "The emperor can at most enshrine her as a nobleman, and she still has one in her belly. It is considered a kindness for the emperor to let her raise the baby in her belly. It is impossible for her to raise two children."

"Who would that be?"

Concubine Tong sneered, "I enjoy the role of concubine when I enter the palace. There are many people in the palace who don't like me. How do you guess? But..."

Mammy asked, "But what?"

Concubine Tong said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian has never had a child, the emperor passed her by and handed Si elder brother to me directly. Could it be that she is playing tricks behind her back?"

Niu Hulu, who taught the eldest princess to quickly teach myocardial ischemia, did not know that he was being blamed. As the teacher of the princesses, Niu Hulu changed his mind a long time ago.She doesn't want to have children now, she is afraid of losing her life!

The companions of the princesses entered the palace, and the emperor selected a few clan princesses to study in the palace to show his favor, and the Niu Hulu family was even busier now.

Earlier, Qiqige knew that there would be companions entering the palace, so she selected a few concubines who could read and write, and trained them to be teachers.This time there are a few more clan Gege, Qiqige asked Aruna to come over to help.

Qiqige's educational philosophy is to liberate girls' nature and let them grow up freely and happily.

But these companions and clan princesses are all gentle and elegant, like dolls bought in the wholesale market, walking, sitting, lying, talking and smiling all come out of the same mold.Their appearance is far from Qiqige's educational philosophy.

Qiqige doesn't like such children, they are rigid and have no personality, they don't look like real people.In order to change the temperament of the children, Qiqige took them to play in different ways.

Every morning, the children go to class normally, and in the afternoon Qiqige takes them to play Cuju, ride horses, shoot arrows, and enjoy flowers.A group of children were just at the age when they loved to run and dance. The Queen Mother didn't care when they were laughing. Gradually, the children became more courageous. The children's screams and laughter could be heard on the racetrack every day.

These girls were able to go home every ten days. When they did not enter the palace, their family members repeatedly told them to be cautious in their words and deeds, and all of them were so frightened that they burst into tears.After Qiqige played with her for a few days, the children didn't want to go home anymore.It is better to have a palace at home. There are playmates in the palace, and the management is not strict. It is much more free than at home.

When the children are free, the teacher has worked hard.

Niu Hulu regretted it very much. Why did she drink the queen mother's ecstasy soup and come over to be a teacher.

When the children entered the palace, they were all ladies of the family, but after two days, when I looked at them, they were all monkeys.

Yes, Niu Hulu has learned to swear.Every day after school, Niu Hulu would watch the children say goodbye to her with a smile on her face, and then utter obscenities in her heart.

She regrets it now, how comfortable it is to brew a cup of fragrant tea and sit by the window to read and write in her own palace, why can't she think of coming here to teach!

Niu Hulu's resentment was deep in his heart, and no one knew about it.

Concubine Tong suspected that Niu Hulu's family had tripped her up, so these days she always found excuses to join Niu Hulu's side, trying to test the depth of Niu Hulu's family.

Niu Hulu has a high status and seniority.In the past two years, the Emperor Nian restored the treatment of Niu Hulu's mother's family for the sake of Ye Bilong's contribution to conquering the world.Now Niu Hulu's status is even more detached with the Queen Mother.

Concubine Tong did not dare to offend the Niu Hulu clan, and she was cautious when probing.

She led the fourth elder brother and took him to the place where the princesses were studying to play. On the one hand, the fourth elder brother could get acquainted with the queen mother, and on the other hand, he could also get in touch with Niu Hulu.

The queen mother likes to play with children the most. The fourth elder brother has just learned to speak, and he has a big tongue when he mutters. The queen mother always teases him to talk.

"Come on! You say Mrs. Xian'er."

The fourth elder brother frowned and learned how to drive seriously, "Xian Nang!"

"Miss!"

Fourth elder brother: "Nang Nang!"

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, "You keep screaming, are you hungry?"

Concubine Tong smiled and said: "Queen Mother, don't think that the child is young, he also wants to save face! I taught him how to speak, and if he couldn't learn it, he would get angry and stop learning. It seems that he still likes the Queen Mother and you teach him!"

Niu Hulu also followed suit, "Our empress dowager attracts children, who doesn't like the empress dowager among the children in the palace!"

Qiqige smiled and said: "Okay, I'm good at flattering, and everyone will be rewarded with a roast leg of lamb later."

Concubine Tong smiled and said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward. I heard that Empress Dowager is generous, and my concubines are really stupid. I don't know how to flatter and flatter."

Niu Hulu said with a smile: "It's not too late for you to flatter me! What's the lamb leg? The Empress Dowager is rich. If you speak more good words, you will soon become rich."

Qiqige scolded with a smile: "You want to cheat me of money? Is it easy for me to save some money for your big dream?"

Niu Hulu's eyes rolled, and he held Concubine Tong's hand amiably.

"Good sister, the queen mother is stubborn! Don't believe this! I remember that my sister plays the piano very well. If you have nothing to do, come and teach the princesses how to play the piano. The queen mother will give you some hard money!"

Qiqige said: "No money! Not a penny!"

Niu Hulu covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't believe the queen mother said there is no money, unless you let me go to your private treasury."

Qiqige picked up the fourth elder brother and ran away, "I won't talk to you money fans anymore, bye!"

Qiqige hugged the fourth elder brother to play on the swing, and Concubine Tong turned the topic to the direction of giving birth.

"Hey, sister, to tell you the truth, sometimes I feel sore when I see elder brothers and princesses. When will I have my own children?"

Niu Hulu was stunned for a moment, she and Concubine Tong had a mediocre relationship, she didn't understand why Concubine Tong suddenly talked to her about this topic.

"Maybe it's not due to fate. You are so young, you will always have children."

"What my sister said is true." Concubine Tong carefully observed Niu Hulu's expression, "Fortunately, the fourth elder brother is by my side, otherwise I would feel even more uncomfortable. My sister has a high status, have you ever thought about hugging a child from someone else?"

Niu Hulu didn't think too much about it, she only had one reaction when she heard the word child.

"What children to raise! I haven't lived enough!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the classroom.A group of girls rushed out of the classroom cheering, one jumped to Niu Hulu's side and called the teacher, and the other ran to Niu Hulu's side to call the teacher.

Chirping like a bird entering a deep forest, Niu Hulu turned around and said to Concubine Tong: "If you like children, come here often."

Concubine Tong: I... I don't really want to come.
