Qin Tianjian calculated the date and set the time, and on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court sealed the holiday.

Concubine Xian was promoted to the throne, and the emperor specially gave her grace to let her family members go to the palace to visit her in the new year.

This family, of course, refers to a big family, not just the Xu family, because Concubine Xian has a high status now, so her biological mother can also enter the palace with the Xu family under the emperor's permission, and What Concubine Xian means, I really want Master Ji to raise Fourth Aunt as a noble concubine, but with Xu's temperament, although Ji Heng is sick all the time, he is Jie Yuan after all, and he is so valued by the emperor. From the point of view of the situation, or from the point of view of the innocence of life, there is no way to raise the fourth aunt to become a noble concubine, so he didn't mention this matter with Mrs. Xu, so he didn't understand the meaning of the concubine Xian.

He didn't mention it, so it was hard for Fourth Aunt to say anything.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Xu got up early in the morning, tidied up herself and Ji Heng.

When she was about to go out, Mrs. Xu had put on a first-grade imperial dress. Although Si Yiniang's biological daughter was already a concubine, but because she had not been appointed, she naturally did not have an imperial dress, so she only wore slightly more expensive clothes.

Si Yiniang bowed to Mrs. Xu, and seeing Ji Heng sitting on the side in a bad mood, she said with concern, "Brother Heng was sick a while ago and he still hasn't recovered?"

Xu sighed slightly worriedly, and said, "It's good. The doctor said that he has insufficient energy and blood, and he has been dizzy for the past few mornings. Hey, he looks like this, it will grind my heart to pieces." gone."

Ji Heng smiled at Xu and said, "Mom, it will be fine after a few days, there is nothing to worry about."

After a while, Fifth Sister and Brother Ying were also brought over by the sixth aunt. The marriage of the fifth sister was still undecided. She was fourteen or fifteen years old. Dressed beautifully, when she first entered the room, Fifth Sister frowned slightly, and Sixth Aunt slapped her behind Fifth Sister, probably the two of them were having some trouble, but as soon as they entered the room, Fifth Sister slapped her. With a smile on her face, the elder sister saluted Mrs. Xu first, and then met Ji Heng and Fourth Aunt.

Sixth Yiniang said in a slightly unconvinced sour tone, "Madam, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, and Brother Ying, I will trouble you to take them with you. I have no status to enter the palace, and I can't follow along." Watching them, I'm afraid that they will do something demeaning in the palace and people will gossip about it."

What she said made Fifth Sister very ashamed, Brother Ying frowned slightly.

Sixth Yiniang is just a lowly concubine with a royal commission, not to mention that she has no status to enter the palace, but she can know the rules in the palace by entering the palace herself?Can you remind others not to do things that are demeaning?Moreover, although Fifth Sister and Brother Ying were born to her, they were also called Xu's mother.

When Xu thought of this, she felt a little funny, but she didn't laugh, she just said, "I don't have much time to hang around here, just wait for Fifth Sister and Brother Ying, they come, let's go."

Brother Ying greeted Mrs. Xu and Fourth Aunt, then walked up to Ji Heng, held his hand, and said, "Brother, you are feeling better."

Ji Heng is much older than him. Although he was really depressed for a few days when Brother Ying was born, but now, he has already regarded him as a very close family member. The eldest brother is like a father, so he has some father-son affection for Brother Ying. General affection.

Master Ji is very strict with Brother Ying. At such a young age, he lives alone in a courtyard, sleeps by himself at night, and has heavy schoolwork. It can be seen that it is very hard work. Ji Heng has to relax a lot with him, and often teases him Playing, so, he is not as afraid of Ji Heng as he is for Mr. Ji, and he is much more intimate.

Ji Heng also took Brother Ying's hand back and said, "I'm ready."

When he was about to leave, Brother Ying looked more at Aunt Six who was standing at the door and looked at him and Fifth Sister earnestly. His lips moved, but he still said, "Auntie, go back, it's cold outside."

Liu Yiniang waved to him and said, "Hurry up and follow your brother, it's your first time entering the palace, remember to obey the rules."

Brother Ying nodded and followed Ji Heng to the car yard to take a carriage.

Because Ji Heng was still not in good health, Xu did not let Brother Ying sit in the same carriage with him to make trouble for him, but let him ride in the same carriage with Mrs. Ji.

The Fifth Sister took the same car with the Fourth Aunt.

So all the way to the gate of the palace, there are already sedan chairs waiting to pick it up. Everyone can see that this is the emperor's favor for the Ji family.

Everyone dared not blatantly spread the emperor's favor to Ji Jieyuan, the eldest son of the Ji family, but secretly joked that the Ji family's siblings were serving the young and vigorous emperor together. When Heng heard it, I'm afraid he could only be calm on the surface, and his heart would bleed.

Concubine Xian still lives in Duanyang Palace, because she was promoted to be Concubine Xian, seeing that Duanyang Palace is different from before, all the furnishings inside are expensive and luxurious.

Master Ji is the second assistant of the court and a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, but he also has to salute in front of his daughter who is a virtuous concubine. Since Master Ji has to salute, Xu's four aunts and children also have to salute.

Mrs. Xu is a proud and arrogant woman, she doesn't know how unhappy she is in her heart, but she is also deeply thoughtful and her emotions and anger are invisible, so she salutes politely, with a benevolent look on her face. color.

Ordinarily, the daughters of ordinary families would not receive such a gift from their family members.In the past, when Fourth Aunt came to see her in the palace, she was going to welcome her into the house from afar, not to mention asking her to salute, even if she was sitting, she was also asked to sit on the top seat.

But this time, Concubine Xian actually asked her family members to salute before letting everyone get up.

The fifth sister naturally saw all these things in her eyes, thinking that she was tossed and dressed by the sixth aunt in the morning. When the water is lingling, isn't it very easy to be favored by the emperor?

Fifth Sister was sullen in her heart, she just kept a straight face, and she didn't talk to Sixth Aunt who Xiaojiazi knew.

The fifth sister was also brought into the palace to meet the third sister a few times before, although the appearance of the third sister was indeed beautiful, and all the things in the palace were expensive and luxurious, but so day and night Quietly waiting for someone, but the fifth sister didn't want to do that, and it could be seen that the third sister was also preoccupied, and her life was definitely not as easy as others thought.

When Concubine Xu was still there, Concubine Xu, as the head of the Duanyang Palace, seemed to be a lively, simple and sincere person. In fact, could there be no means behind the scenes? Just take the words she beat her, and the fifth sister knew that Xu Concubine in the past The imperial concubine will not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

Isn't it difficult for the third sister to live under Concubine Xu's hands?

Now the third sister is raising someone else's son, and people from the Xu family are staring at her. It is said that the eldest prince is born weak and looks like he will die young, so it will not be easy to raise.

The fifth sister has always been sweet-mouthed, and she looks innocent and naive. In fact, in a big family like Ji's family, how could she not have her own thoughts and eyes.

She just hopes to find a good family to marry and have a husband who loves her, but his wife Xu is not particularly concerned about her marriage, her father is very busy, and the sixth aunt is involved in all kinds of things, so that The marriage has not been settled yet, seeing the beauty of the third sister, and even the status of the fourth aunt in the family is different, and the sixth aunt wants her to seduce the emperor to enter the palace, and the fifth sister is tired of such things in her heart Sixth aunt, on the other hand, felt worried and confused about her future.

Concubine Xian sized up the whole family, and then enthusiastically let everyone sit down, and then she turned her eyes around Ji Heng's face.

It was more than three years apart, and the two met again.

Concubine Xian sank in her heart. In the past, Ji Heng was so young that he was too good-looking to distinguish between men and women. It is said that now Ji Heng is almost 17 years old, and it is time for boys to change their voices and grow beards. It's time to be indistinguishable between men and women. I didn't expect to hear Ji Heng's voice just now. It was only a little clearer than when I was a child. It didn't have the voice of a man at all, and his face was still as tender as water, let alone a long beard. Even the airs of the body seem to have only grown taller, and have not grown into a man.Although his appearance is more youthful, he is still attractive, and even has more adult charm than when he was a child. Concubine Xian wonders how he can still look like this, and at the same time thinks of the emperor's three words that he can't leave you. Qing, after Ji Heng came back from Jiangnan, he called him into the palace many times. On the night Concubine Xu gave birth, Ji Heng stayed in the palace overnight, so that the emperor came to Duanyang Palace at a later time, and he was very concerned about him. The first child didn't seem to care too much, that's all. The emperor was injured on his hand that day, but he didn't say how he was injured, which made people wonder.

Concubine Xian knows that she and Ji's family are both prosperous and detrimental, and even her favor comes from this younger brother Ji Heng. However, as a woman, looking at her rival in love, even if he is her younger brother, She couldn't be completely calm either.

After Ji Heng entered the hall and knelt down, he only glanced at the third sister, and saw that the third sister had completely retreated from the appearance of the youngest daughter at home back then. She was a dignified and graceful woman, and her expression was Time has long brought the arrogance and seriousness of the superior.No matter how gentle and gentle she was, she couldn't hide the aura of giving orders.

In three years, everyone has changed a lot.

Because Mr. Ji was there, Mrs. Xu and Fourth Aunt Ji Heng didn't speak, and Mr. Ji and Concubine Xian only said some polite words, just to check on each other's health and living conditions.

Then Master Ji didn't have much to say, so he let Mrs. Xu and the others chat with Concubine Xian.

After chatting for a few words, Concubine Xian bluntly mentioned to Mrs. Xu that she hoped that the fourth aunt could be raised as a concubine.

Whether it is the concubine Xian and her biological mother who have a deep love for mother and daughter, so she hopes that the status of the fourth aunt can be higher, or she has become a concubine mother but has a low status and hopes to improve, she will have this request.

But before the emperor promoted her position, he didn't mention at all about giving her mother an imperial order, and she couldn't bring it up, so she had to mention it in front of Mrs. Xu at this time.

When Concubine Xian said this, the entire hall was silent for a while, Xu's eyebrows twitched, and she didn't speak for a moment.

This silence brought embarrassment. Just as Concubine Xian was about to say it again, a voice suddenly came from outside, "The emperor is here."

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and the Ji family was also a little surprised. The emperor came at this time, and most people seemed to be very fond of Concubine Xian and meant to give her face, but Concubine Xian glanced at Ji Heng more, knowing that Very clear.

Concubine Xian brought her natal family to bow down and welcome the emperor.

The Spring Festival was approaching, and the weather was very cold. The emperor came in, bringing in a cold air. Fortunately, there were several stoves burning in the Duanyang Hall, and there were thick curtains to separate the inside and outside, so it was very warm inside.

When the emperor was outside, he walked like the wind, and his figure was vigorous. Once he entered the Duanyang Hall, his movements slowed down, showing the majesty and dignity of an emperor.

His eyes swept over the Ji family, and he glanced twice at Ji Heng who knelt down to pick him up, and then he was invited to sit on the upper seat by the concubine Xian who had already got up, and the concubine Xian explained to him personally He took off the cloak on his body, and asked affectionately, "Did the emperor walk all the way here, why is he covered with cold air?"

Then let the maids rush to serve hot ginger tea to drive the emperor away from the cold.

Things are done with detail and care.

The emperor waved to her, and asked Ji's family to sit down quickly.

Ji Heng's menstruation is a battle. He always feels that he died and came back to life. After being alive, he will always be weak for a few days. It is because of the lack of energy and blood. Kneeling and standing like this, suddenly the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and he almost failed to stand still. When he fell, the emperor even moved his body in surprise, he seemed to rush to support him, but fortunately Ji Heng just swayed, and he had already stood still, and then went to sit down again.

The emperor still paid attention. With so many people, he was the most upright and noble monarch, so he first said a few words to Mr. Ji, and then said kind words to Ji's family, even Brother Ying They all asked, "This is the young master, he is so old, is he seven years old?"

For the emperor to know the age of the youngest son of a concubine of the Ji family, not to mention Brother Ying himself, even Master Ji was surprised. He quickly got up and said yes, and Brother Ying replied very politely and thanked you kindness.

Then the emperor asked Ji Heng and said, "I see that Junqing looks very bad, what's the matter?"

Ji Heng wanted to get up to answer, but the emperor immediately said, "Don't get up, we are all a family, you don't need to talk about those vain etiquette, just sit and talk, this is just gossip, if gossip is common, you would get up and kneel so easily, But I can't speak anymore."

He obviously didn't say that at all just now when Master Ji and Brother Ying got up, but now that Ji Heng was about to get up, he just said such a long series of polite words, Concubine Xian had a gentle smile on her face, but her heart was very complicated.

So Ji Heng didn't get up, and said, "I thank the emperor for your concern, if you return to the emperor, I'm fine, it's just that my energy and blood are a little weak these days."

The emperor was a little surprised, and calculated Ji Heng's menstrual period in his mind, and found that it should not be these few days, but he became uncertain. The imperial doctor said that many people's young days are not necessarily accurate, especially those who are not in good health. What's more, Ji Heng's body is cold, so it's easier to be inaccurate in this regard.

The emperor didn't want to say more, and politely asked him to pay more attention to his body.

Because the emperor finished speaking, he turned to Concubine Xian and said, "I'm here, I must have interrupted your conversation with your family, what were you talking about before, don't worry about me, you can talk about it."
